Chapter 112: Slaughter
Third update!
——
The two instruments of the Golden Elixir realm, Su Leng's indeed very terrifying. The five flying swords forged from the vengeful spirits of anger, resentment, greed, foolishness and sorrow suddenly gathered and scattered, with a dense sword energy that seemed to drip, emitting a pungent, eerie and murderous aura, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly, wailing ghosts crying out in anguish. Just the shrill, ear-piercing sound alone was enough to make an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator's liver and gallbladder shatter.
Moreover, Su Leng's figure was also fleeting and unpredictable, like a shadow, dark and without light. One moment he was here, the next he would suddenly appear tens of feet away, just like a ghost who excelled at hiding and sneaking around.
But what caught Chen's eye was still Xiao Lingbai.
The little guy has transformed into a three-foot-long golden sword, unlike the one in Chen Xiao's hand. The golden sword is now flashing with lightning, and the electric arc is jumping and rolling, merging the destructive aura of thunder and the silent intent of the sword. It is simply invincible, every sword slash brings out a waterfall-like bright electric arc, pouring down, thundering, the most powerful destructive force, cutting Su Leng's Wumaomu sword to tremble and wail incessantly.
Between heaven and earth, thunderbolt governs punishment, annihilating all dark, evil, filthy things!
Geng Jin Jian Zhu three feet long, every hundred years through thunder and lightning do not die, only then grow an inch, its internal thunder and lightning force majestic and vast, like the Yangtze River, previously used in Chen Xuan's hand, did not play a thousandth of it.
The sword path of extinction, neither born nor dead, neither lost nor destroyed, makes everything return to silence. Every sword that comes out is quiet and soundless, without even a hint of wind, as if it suddenly appears in an instant, making defense impossible.
Combining the two, even if Xiao Ling's boundary was inferior to Su Leng's, but as the master of the Jian Dao transmission and possessing a sword soul, with Gang Jin Sword Bamboo as his body, the combat power he unleashed was even more ferocious than Chen Tai, who possessed multiple divine abilities!
For a moment, the battle between Ling Bai and Su Leng was at a stalemate, causing Chen Yu, Su Dingyi and others to watch with bated breath, their eyes shining with excitement.
"Is that a treasure or a person? How can it be so terrifying? Su Leng's Wuma Sword was obtained from the mysterious ancient ruins, how come it still hasn't defeated the opponent until now?"
"Soul of the sword? Doesn't seem like it, how can a soul control a sword on its own? Is it a spiritual treasure? But... it seems only legendary immortal artifacts have such power?"
"I think that thing is definitely a treasure! If we can subdue it, Su Leng's strength might surge again!"
"Not bad, Su Leng's martial arts cultivation has reached the realm of Dao intent, and what he has comprehended is the mysterious and obscure Dao intent. He can control yin souls and evil spirits, just like a ghost emperor descending upon the world, Yanluo reborn. This is as fierce as it gets! In my opinion, it won't take long for him to achieve victory!"
Su Dingyi and the other three were all using their divine souls to communicate with each other, while sighing at the grandeur of the battle situation, they vigilantly scanned their surroundings, not relaxing their investigation of Chen Tai for a moment.
"It turned out to be the will of the Netherworld Path. How did this guy come up with such a gloomy path? Could it be that he had been to the underworld's Yanluo Prefecture?"
Chen Xuan was secretly shocked in his heart. Among the three realms, if one were to say which is the most illusory and elusive, it would definitely be the Immortal Realm. If one were to say which is the most eerie and terrifying, it would undoubtedly be the Underworld. It's said that within the Underworld, there are the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Yellow Springs Blood Pool, the Forest of Lofty Heights Great Hall, the Officer in Charge of Punishment, King Yanluo... and other mysterious and unfathomable beings and things.
However, Chen Xiao had only heard of it, and with his current perspective and experience, he was still unable to touch such an extremely terrifying existence.
"Idiot! What are you standing there for? Come and help me take this thing down quickly!"
Su Leng suddenly let out a furious roar, with his proud and arrogant personality, he was originally unwilling to rely on the power of Su Dingyi and others, but after fighting until now, he found that his own cultivation was being restrained everywhere by this thing that seemed human but not human, seemed like a sword but not a sword. Although he didn't fall into defeat, his heart was still feeling stifled. At this moment, seeing Su Dingyi and others standing stupidly in the distance watching, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed and burst out in a roar.
"But..."
"Su Leng, Shifu, Chen Tai is still hiding in a dark place..."
"Yes, yes."
Su Dingyi and the other three were also completely unexpected that Su Leng would call them to assist in the battle, and they were caught off guard by this loud shout, opening their mouths to explain.
Just at this time ——
What a great opportunity! Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with cold light, and the witchcraft around him surged out. A huge palm, tens of meters in size, made of a mixture of earthy yellow and cyan wood colors, appeared out of thin air, covering the sky and earth like a mountain range. The lines on the palm were flowing like stars, and a vast, thick, mysterious aura burst forth.
Mahāmudrā —— The Great Seal of the Stars!
During the time Chen Xiao was in seclusion at the first trial grounds of Tianfeng, he not only condensed the Wood-type Witch Mark, advanced his physical body to the second level of the Purple Mansion, but also cultivated the Star-Grabbing Big Hand Seal to the realm of Wood.
Now, the Xīng Dǒu's big hand seal gathers both the Tǔ Wū Lì and Yǐ Mù Wū Lì, its power almost doubling. Originally, it was already enough to withstand a Huang Jiē Fǎ Bǎo, but now, with a full-force strike, it can completely crush an Xuán Jiē Fǎ Bǎo!
To know that the Big Dipper's Great Hand Seal is a divine technique passed down by the master of the cave, such an unparalleled great divine technique that shook the heavens in ancient times has almost all been lost to the sands of time, and in the entire territory of the Great Chu Dynasty, it has almost disappeared from sight.
Boom!
Xing Dou's massive handprint suddenly appeared, and with a fierce grab, it was like grasping a few insignificant ants, leaving no room for any resistance. It had already tightly clenched Su Dingyi and the other three people. Then, with a ruthless squeeze inward, a series of cracking sounds of shattered bones and blood-curdling screams instantly rang out, echoing throughout the grand hall!
The body of the Qi Refiner was so fragile, and the defensive talismans on Su Dingyi's four bodies, including their armor and war robes, were all yellow-grade treasures. Under the massive power of the Star-Dou Great Hand Seal, they were as fragile as paper, failing to produce even the slightest effect.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
The starry sky's massive handprint loosened, and a drop of thick blood and flesh fell into the void, accumulating on the ground into a puddle of minced meat and fragments. The pungent smell of blood instantly filled every inch of air.
Four Yellow Court Boundary cultivators were shattered by a single strike of the Star Dipper Great Hand Seal!
At this moment, even Chen Yao himself was shocked when he saw this scene. He had long known that the power of Xing Dou's Big Hand Seal was terrifying, but at this moment, when he saw the four Huang Ting cultivators turn into a pile of minced meat, he finally understood the true power of Xing Dou's Big Hand Seal!
However, this blow was because he didn't leave any room for maneuver, and the consumption of Wu's power in his flesh and blood membrane was also extremely terrifying, consuming seven or eight tenths with just one blow, almost exhausting him.
"Magic!"
"What kind of magic is this?"
In the distance, Su Leng suddenly jumped out of the battle circle and let out a sharp cry. His cold face was already filled with a look of shock. The scene just now almost happened in an instant, he didn't even have time to save them, Su Ding and the other three were instantly crushed into pulp, it was almost unbelievable to his eyes.
"How detestable! You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You're too arrogant!" Ling's clear and crisp voice rang out, her anger transformed into a flash of lightning sword light, striking again.
At this moment, Chen Tang's heart moved, and the Big Dipper Palm Print suddenly rose, transforming into a palm from a claw, and slapped Su Leng fiercely! It turned out that he was attacking Su Leng together with Ling Bai, wanting to annihilate him in one fell swoop!
Chen Xiao didn't know Su Leng's identity, but he knew that the cultivation of the Two Utensils Golden Elixir Realm was extremely noble, even in the Longyuan Su family, it was an existence of utmost respect. If he could kill this person at this moment, it would undoubtedly be a painful loss for the Su family.
"You want to kill me? Don't even think about it for a lifetime!"
Su Leng suddenly shouted, and with a single hand gesture, the Xuan Huang Nine Jiao Umbrella burst forth from the ground, its dense and intricate talismans swirling ceaselessly. The nine jiao dragons were also radiating spiritual light all over their bodies, as if they were about to dash out of the umbrella. A thick, substantial yellow glow enveloped Su Leng's entire body.
Almost simultaneously, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden elixir that rotated rapidly, with half of it black and the other half white, blending together in harmony, as dragon and tiger were born, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot towards the Big Dipper's palm print to deliver a fatal blow.
A mid-grade defensive treasure!
One Benming Jindan!
At this moment, anyone who witnessed the scene would be shocked, because no one could have imagined that Chen Xiao, who was only in the Zi Fu realm, could actually push a cultivator of the Two Instruments Golden Elixir to such an extent!
Of course, Ling Bai's contribution is great, without him, Chen Tang would probably have been in trouble today.
Boom!
Su Leng's Benming Jindan, its power is terrifying, in just one breath, it easily shattered the Star Dou Great Hand Seal, turning it into billions of fragmented stars that dispersed without a trace.
Bang!
Just then, Ling Bai's Thunder Sword also fell, and the violent thunder power and the Jianyi of the sword merged to slash the Xuan Huang Jiujiao umbrella, causing it to tremble violently and wail. The nine dragons on top were smashed into pieces and flew horizontally, turning into streams of air that submerged into the umbrella surface. However, this sword did not break through Su Leng's defense, and the power of the Earth Stage treasure could be seen from this.
"Kill!"
The Xing Dou Great Handprint was destroyed, Chen Tang's face didn't change at all. The eight handles of the Xu Ming Flying Swords formed the Yan Feng Liu Guang Sword Array again and went to kill Su Leng once more. If a two-instrument golden elixir cultivator were that easy to kill, it would be strange indeed.
"Damn it! Looks like I have no choice but to use my ultimate move!"
Ling Bai was beheaded by a single sword, not even cutting through an umbrella, feeling both ashamed and angry, his figure flashed, transforming into a three-inch-tall handsome little man.
"All phenomena are impermanent, arising and perishing, non-extinction is quiescence, non-arising is extinction..." A string of abstruse and mysterious chanting flowed quickly from Ling Bai's mouth.
Along with the sound, a terrifying force suddenly emerged from all directions in the vast and boundless great hall. This force was neither born nor destroyed, neither dead nor alive, and it returned to the extremely quiet state of chaos, making people feel desperate, helpless, and crumbling...
Splash!
His slender body, originally only three inches tall, suddenly grew taller and taller, his aura also rising wildly. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a young man over ten feet tall, with eyes like deep, gray abysses, dry and desolate. The aura emanating from his body was like that of a god, eternal, silent, and unshakeable!
"Huh?"
Su Leng had barely avoided Chen Tai's sword array attack, and before he could even catch his breath, he felt an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly flood his entire body, as if a mountain of ten thousand feet was pressing down on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"What is this kung fu?"
Looking at Ling Bai's towering figure, looking into his eyes as deep and desolate as an abyss, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him, even he, who was always proud and fearless, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, as if he had fallen into an icy pit.
"Run!"
Almost as soon as this thought flashed, Su Leng rushed out without hesitation, and in his hand, the Wuji Breaking Boundary Pearl emitted a dreamy ripple of light, instantly illuminating a transparent and distorted wall barrier.
"Want to escape?" Ling Bai's lips curled up with a hint of icy arc, his hands clasped together, and everything in the void seemed to be sucked out, collapsing inch by inch. A pale transparent void sword surged out from the collapse.
"Unparalleled Great Silence Destruction Sword!"
Ling Bai let out a loud roar and chopped forward with both hands!
Tick-tock... Tick-tock...
A grey-white transparent void sword slashed down, and the entire grand hall's empty space rang out with a series of ear-piercing explosive cracks. Seeing this scene, Chen Tai, who was originally preparing to chase after Su Leng, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and a thick layer of shock surged into his eyes - this sword technique... could actually tear apart the void?
Gasp!
Su Leng was only one step away from the transparent, twisted wall barrier, yet this one step seemed like a distance of a thousand miles, so far away that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it.
Because his entire body, torso, hair, limbs, flesh and blood... were disappearing at an astonishing speed, silently and horribly, without making a single sound, as if being swallowed bit by bit by a transparent monster, and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared without a trace.
Ding Dong!
Wuji Breaking Boundary Pearl rolled and fell onto the ground.
