Chapter 133 - 129: Outside the Fox Immortal Cave
Translator: 549690339 |
The high-held four-colored giant sword cuts towards the falling ice. The sharpness of the flowing water sword intent combined with the heaviness of the earth sword intent gives this spiritual sword the power to split mountains and divide cliffs.
The seemingly slow arc unsurprisingly cut through the falling ice first. The cold ice that can trap a peak warrior didn’t last even a second before it was sliced through. Before Gong Zheng, who had been frozen, could rejoice, the huge spiritual sword struck his shoulder.
The tremendous force, which even the Ghost Python Fierce Scale Armor couldn’t resist, numbed his right shoulder. It felt as if a mountain was crushing him. Like a swatted fly, he plummeted to the ground and crashed into a deep pit!
If he hadn’t been protected by the spiritual armor, this single strike could have sliced him apart.
Seeing the first strike hadn’t done its intended damage, Master Xu raised his sword again, turning the slashing motion into a probing one, urging the spiritual sword towards the ground.
Like the decree of the heavens, the judgment sword descended from the sky! inside the pit, Gong Zheng hadn’t recovered from the shock when he saw the enormous spiritual sword bearing down on him. He tried to escape, but his muscles and tendons seemed to have snapped. He couldn’t move at all.
The spiritual sword in his sight grew larger and closer, and he watched helplessly as the sword pierced the center of the Ghost Python Fierce Scale
Armor.
Like a sledgehammer to the chest, the earth fissured once again. Gong Zheng coughed up blood.
But the spiritual armor was indeed worthy of its name. Even such an astonishing spiritual sword couldn’t pierce through the black scales. The sword got heavier and heavier, making Gong Zheng feel as if he could hear his own breastbone creaking under the unbearable pressure.
The sword, despite being shaped from spiritual power, emitted a metallic friction sound against the spiritual armor!
Under the reinforcement of the earth sword intent, the weight of the spiritual sword increased to such an extent that even Master Xu couldn’t control it. His eyes shone brilliantly as he forcefully pressed down his double-handed sword motion!
Since he couldn’t control it, it would be better to let the earth sword intent allow it to be as heavy as possible and crush the enemy.
As the spiritual sword’s yellow light increased dramatically, the heavy earth sword intent surged again. The once balanced four-colored spiritual sword turned dominantly yellow, and the weight of this sword was more than the earth itself could bear.
Amid the rumbling sound, the sword’s tip disappeared into the earth, causing the ground to tremble, followed by the sword body, and then the hilt!
The yellow spiritual sword pressed down on Gong Zheng and entered the abyss.
When the entire spiritual sword disappeared, it left behind an unthinkably deep fissure.
Only at this moment did the Red Flame Serpent Fist fly towards him, signaling that Gong Zheng was not fighting alone.
There was a single Red Flame Serpent Fist, not a combined attack technique.
That meant Tan Hong had made a choice.
With one round of confrontation experience, he no longer anticipated whether the once invincible “Proud Serpent to Flood Dragon Skill” could kill Master Xu.
He couldn’t persist in using the combined attack technique because even if it severely injured the opponent, the enemy could still escape, while his group, without a doubt, would perish. So, he decided to beat back the ambush first, then hold onto the young swordsman while waiting for backup.
Two full-powered flaming pythons fiercely collided with the white tornado. After just one contact, the flaming pythons were torn apart by the tornado. Yet, the prosperous serpent, whose locking spirit form couldn’t be maintained, was different from common spiritual power techniques. After the locking spirit form shattered, instead of dissipating, it caused a massive explosion, exploding the tornado into streams of flame, scattering into the sky and earth.
The flame cloud blurred the crowd’s vision, but it couldn’t deceive Tan Hong’s eyes filled with hatred. If it wasn’t for that youngster intervening, Master Xu would have already been hit by the combined attack technique by now!
‘■It’s this kid ruining my plan!” Tan Hong gritted his teeth, determined to kill Tang Luo first. He disregarded the torrential flame cloud, directly penetrated the unsubsided spiritual flame wave, and used the dancing flame cloud as a shield to launch a front attack at Tang Luo.
“Where is he!”
Tan Hong, full of killing intent, was shocked after breaking through the flame cloud. There was no sign of the youngster. He clearly remembered that the opponent was ambushing from the left just now. In just a short period, where could he have gone?
Not on the left!
Not in front!
Not on the right!
Could it be… Tan Hong looked up and saw Tang Luo standing in mid-air, arms crossed across his chest, his face filled with mockery.
■■Are you, by any chance, looking for me?” Tang Luo looked down at Tan Hong, who was frantically searching like a headless fly below him, and taunted out
loud.
Tan Hong looked up at Tang Luo floating in the sky, retreated two steps in shock, and pointed at him shouting: “Impossible! You can’t be from the Fierce
Realm!”
Tang Luo looked around fifteen or sixteen years old. If he’s a strong one from the Fierce Realm, then what the heck have I been training martial arts all these years for! Tan Hong suppressed his inner shock, continuously comforting himself.
If he is from the Fierce Realm, why didn’t he kill us directly instead of letting that young swordsman make a move? He certainly isn’t from the Fierce Realm.
Constantly contemplating, Tan Hong gradually regained his composure, though his eyes revealed complex emotions.
Of course, Tang Luo isn’t from the Fierce Realm, but he couldn’t be bothered to explain it to Tan Hong, standing quietly in midair.
Fight a peak transcendent martial artist? Spare me the jokes. Who knows how much spiritual power will be drained? There’s no feud between us, so why should I?
His spiritual power is limited. He had already helped his cousin with an unexpected attack that dismantled the opponent’s Combined Attack Technique. It was enough to sit back and watch the victory.
With the immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique crossing the air, and the opponent unable to perform a Combined Attack Technique, he was already in an unbeatable position. There’s no need to waste more spiritual power in a battle that’s bound to be won.
He had supreme confidence in his cousin.
Only to see a few shots from his cousin piercing the flame python and rushing towards the remaining four martial artists from the Feng family.
A dozen auras of varying colors emanating from his spiritual sword surrounded him, spinning faster and faster, creating a halo of light.
His cousin moved swiftly, rushing towards the martial artists from the Feng family. He disappeared suddenly within a ten-meter distance, leaving behind only a residual image gone without a trace.
-Stay close, don’t get ambushed!” Tan Hong shouted instructions, but deep down, he had doubts about whether he could hold on until reinforcements arrived.
The four Feng family martial artists stood back-to-back, condensing spiritual energy in their hands and guarding carefully around them.
“Well, the higher you stand, the further you see!” Tang Luo said to himself. As the only spectator, he knew exactly where his cousin went. The opponent didn’t disappear, but went underground with the cover of sword light. Looking at the Feng family martial artists on high alert, Tang Luo knew things would get ugly for them.
In the small gap in the circle formed by the four back-to-back martial artists, his cousin reemerged from the underground!
Wondering what would happen if a spinning swords array dispelled a crowd? Tang Luo didn’t know before, but had a clear view now.
The upward spiral of the sword light was the most beautiful scene in the world, slicing the four people into segments from the foot to the head.
Instead of holding on till reinforcement, they didn’t even last a second. Tang Luo silently cursed to himself and landed leisurely.
His cousin also emerged from the pile of flesh as the sword’s light dissipated.
The two landed almost simultaneously, sharing a smile before speaking to each other.
“Incredible1” Tang Luo sincerely complimented. Objectively speaking, as a martial artist who could perform single Combined Attack Techniques, he felt invincible in the same realm, but after watching his cousin fight, he realized what true brilliance was. This was the first time he truly acknowledged a gifted martial artist from the bottom of his heart.
His cousin casually brushed it off and said “Thank you” to Tang Luo.
-Let’s go and check if those people are alright.” Tang Luo was not in the mood for more small talk. He pointed towards the Fox Immortal Temple and said to his cousin.
Upon hearing this, his cousin quickly responded, “Right! Right!”
The two men headed towards the Fox Immortal Temple..
