anwhile, where Xue Dangdang and Nalan Ziyun stood, the old monk ignored the massive shockwave. His expression remained grave as he continuously ford Seal Techniques, but sweat had already begun to trickle down his face.
When the energy ripples—the sa ones that had made Chu Qingcheng spit blood—crashed into a point more than ten ters behind him...
It was as if they had encountered an invisible black hole. They were instantly devoured, vanishing without a trace.
Within a radius of more than ten ters around Xue Dangdang and the other two, not even a single speck of dust was disturbed.
...
Despite landing a successful blow, Shen Lang’s expression grew even more grave and focused.
’Yuwen Huaji’s aura is still there. He actually managed to withstand a Netherworld Demon Tribulation of that magnitude by destroying a Profound Artifact. He’s not dead yet!’
Shen Lang knew that his self-created Netherworld Demon Tribulation hadn’t been fully developed yet. Before today, it was rely a half-finished product; the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi he absorbed with his hands couldn’t be completely fused.
When he first created this powerful Attack Technique, he had nearly lost control and caused a major disaster.
Although he had finally perfected it and achieved a successful fusion while in his frenzied state, its power wasn’t quite overwhelming, and its speed was clearly a bit too slow.
Since Yuwen Huaji wasn’t dead, he certainly wouldn’t give Shen Lang a chance to use it again.
This showed that while the Netherworld Demon Tribulation’s Attack Power was monstrously strong, its speed was a major drawback.
But at this mont, Shen Lang was clearly unwilling to dwell on such things.
His gaze and his Divine Thought were all locked onto the deep crater below.
’I can’t let him recover!’
Floating in the air, Shen Lang’s eyes were ice-cold, his killing intent overflowing. The instant his montum peaked, he gripped his saber with both hands and raised it high above his head!
’Celestial Demon Body, power of the Ghost King! Prison Guardian Blade Technique, Fourth Form: Demon Blade Prison Guardian, Celestial Demon Subduing!’
With a silent roar in his heart, the long saber in Shen Lang’s hand erupted with a brilliant light as he furiously slashed down toward the deep crater below...
And at that mont, the massive Celestial Demon illusion behind him mirrored his actions. The Great Saber in its hand nearly solidified as it brutally chopped down, its strike converging and fusing with the light from Shen Lang’s blade!
Celestial Demon and Celestial Demon, united as one!
An unparalleled flash of the blade, a peerless edge!
Shen Lang had guessed correctly. Although Yuwen Huaji was grievously wounded once again in the crater, he could still move, and his Divine Thought was also locked onto him.
Just as the blade ca slashing down, Yuwen Huaji—who was hiding in the crater and had just swallowed an Elixir Pill to restore so Primordial Qi—turned pale with fright. Heedless of his grave injuries, he staggered and shot out of the deep crater!
Unfortunately, his speed was no longer what it once was. His injuries were so severe that, under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn’t have even been able to move.
Thus, even though Yuwen Huaji could clearly sense the terrifying power of Shen Lang’s strike, his body couldn’t react as freely as it once had. He had barely flown out when the incomparably mighty blade slamd down on his head!
"AHH!"
Like an Asura, Yuwen Huaji subconsciously raised his arms to block, and was once again smashed back into the crater by Shen Lang!
With a sudden flap of the wings on his back, Shen Lang shot down into the massive crater like a cannonball, launching a frenzied assault with his two-handed saber against the half-crippled Yuwen Huaji!
"AHHHH..."
Shen Lang’s crazed roars echoed throughout Celestial Phoenix City. He moved rapidly along the edge of the crater, his Celestial Water Blade unleashing streams of blade light that rained down on Yuwen Huaji.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
In the dead of night, his form flickered around Yuwen Huaji like a ghost. Blade strike after blade strike forced miserable cries from his foe.
Having already suffered successive heavy blows, and after being fiercely clawed by the Golden Dragon Illusion released by Chu Qingcheng, Yuwen Huaji was already on his last legs.
Then, Shen Lang’s Netherworld Demon Tribulation had left him half-crippled.
Finally, he had been gravely wounded by a strike from Shen Lang, who had unleashed all his Celestial Demon Power and infused it with Sword Intent.
With only his left hand remaining, he was now actually struggling to withstand Shen Lang’s frenzied onslaught!
"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"
The deafening clang of tal on tal radiated out from where the two clashed.
Wave after wave of ferocious energy and Powerful Qi erupted from the point of contact between Shen Lang’s long saber and Yuwen Huaji’s gauntlet.
In the narrow clearing above the giant crater, large, deep cracks spiderwebbed across the ground. Rubble of all sizes shot madly from the crater, and amidst the earth-shattering tremors, the surrounding abandoned stone houses collapsed one by one.
The air was thick with flying sand and stones!
The world was plunged into darkness and chaos!
"Hahaha, you little bastard, I told you that you couldn’t do a thing to ! Even if this old man is on his last legs, you still can’t touch !"
With his hair disheveled and his body drenched in blood, Yuwen Huaji’s old face was utterly savage as he laughed maniacally.
He no longer possessed any of his forr imposing aura.
The flas around his body flickered, looking as if they could be extinguished at any mont.
The Fla Lotus, which could originally repel Shen Lang’s attacks, had shrunk to a sixth of its original size, now barely the size of a palm.
"Die, old dog!"
Shen Lang roared, his long saber his only response.
Wielding terrifying Sword Qi infused with his Sword Intent, he relentlessly attacked the right side of Yuwen Huaji’s body.
Having lost his right arm, this was Yuwen Huaji’s greatest weakness.
Although each slash was still blocked by the Fla Lotus, most of the force still shattered the defense and slamd into Yuwen Huaji’s body.
’This is bad. As the battle progresses, this old dog is starting to get used to having only a left hand, and he’s adapting to my frenzied fighting style! The Elixir Pills he swallowed are starting to take effect. I can’t let him have a chance to recover his Spiritual Power!’
’I have to use this chance to completely exhaust his Spiritual Power!’
A crazed look appeared on Shen Lang’s face. He circled the blood-soaked figure of Yuwen Huaji, his footwork following Profound Mysteries, each slash faster and more ferocious than the last!
The Fla Lotuses on Yuwen Huaji’s body continuously appeared, only to be continuously destroyed by Shen Lang!
If Yuwen Huaji recovered even a little Spiritual Power, his defense would beco much stronger, and he would also be able to start activating powerful Spiritual Artifacts.
Seeing this clearly, Shen Lang’s attacks beca even more frenzied and tyrannical.
’I must take this chance to kill him!’
The piercing shriek of clashing tal was incessant, until it was the only sound left in all of Celestial Phoenix City...
However, no matter how crazed Shen Lang’s fighting style was, with the power he was currently displaying, he could still only worsen Yuwen Huaji’s injuries; it was not enough to be fatal!
A powerhouse at the Peak of Xuanwu Realm Ninth Heaven, even if they lost all their Spiritual Power and just stood there to be hacked at by an ordinary Spirit Martial Realm cultivator, would have nothing to fear, relying on their physical toughness alone.
To be able to inflict such damage on Yuwen Huaji, a master at the Peak of Xuanwu Realm Ninth Heaven, and even make him scream repeatedly, was sothing probably only a freak like Shen Lang could do.
And after adapting to all this and clearly realizing that Shen Lang’s attacks couldn’t truly kill him, Yuwen Huaji finally began to react.
He began to continuously pull out Defensive Spiritual Artifacts and Talismans to withstand Shen Lang’s wild bombardnt.
He even managed to occasionally counterattack. Each ti he threw a heavy punch, the strange, ferocious energy erupting from his gauntlet alone was enough to force Shen Lang into constant retreat!
However, Yuwen Huaji’s real opportunities to counterattack were few and far between.
Shen Lang’s offensive was a raging tempest, a veritable mountain collapse and tsunami.
His Sword Qi, carrying ferocious Thunder Power and unparalleled Sword Intent, hamred at Yuwen Huaji with the desperate, unyielding montum of a fight to the death.
Amidst the endless BOOMS, the surrounding air churned like a stormy sky, sending rubble flying in a terrifying display.
Seeing Shen Lang fight more and more fiercely, his Spiritual Power seemingly as endless as a great, flowing river, showing no signs of exhaustion, Yuwen Huaji couldn’t help but feel a little alard, yet he remained extraordinarily smug.
’No matter how long Shen Lang can last, no matter how abundant his Spiritual Power is, as long as he can’t kill , I can turn this around!’
’All I need now is ti!’
’Just a little ti, just a little bit of Spiritual Power, and I can take Shen Lang’s life!’
"Little bastard, have you had your fun? If you have, then it’s my turn!"
With a frenzied shriek, Yuwen Huaji began to gather the dicinal power from the Elixir Pills he had swallowed, concentrating the Spiritual Power he had just managed to accumulate into the gauntlet on his left hand!
At that very mont, a massive vortex of fire erupted from Yuwen Huaji’s gauntlet. As it spun, it rapidly condensed into a tangible, fiery-red ball of energy, which he then smashed toward Shen Lang’s incoming long saber!
Shen Lang could feel the power of this punch, but his eyes were crimson, his long hair dancing wildly, and he simply refused to pull back his saber and dodge!
"BOOM!"
A fierce gale assaulted him. The mont the fiery-red energy ball made contact with Shen Lang’s long saber, it detonated like a bomb, and the powerful shockwave sent him flying backward!
"STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!"
Driven back by the imnse force, Shen Lang staggered backward. With every step, the stone beneath his foot instantly crumbled to dust!
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth...
High above in the void, the very young-looking Master of Chaos sighed softly and reached his right hand out toward the crater below...
Just then, a hand reached out from the side and stopped him.
Chu Qingcheng said in a solemn voice, "Since you were unwilling to interfere from the beginning, there’s no need to interfere now. Besides, Xiaolang wouldn’t want you to interfere."
The Master of Chaos looked like he wanted to say sothing but held back. He sighed and said, "Amitabha, this humble monk has his own difficulties..."
Chu Qingcheng paid no mind to his difficulties. She turned her gaze back down below. "To kill Yuwen Huaji, Xiaolang can only rely on himself now. But..."
"Hahahaha, you little brat! This old man has crossed more bridges than you’ve walked roads! The Magical Treasures, Spiritual Artifacts, and Talismans on this old man are more than in your entire little Celestial Phoenix City! You want to fight ? You’re not worthy! Now that I’ve recovered a tiny bit of Spiritual Power, just this little bit is enough to seal your doom! I will tear you to shreds!"
Yuwen Huaji laughed wildly with pride. With a flick of his wrist, he took out the small, blood-red circle he had used to collect Beast Souls on the Tala Prairie!
This was the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle from the Spirit Copper Level Influence, Divine Dragon Valley!
The mont the blood-colored circle appeared, Yuwen Huaji poured every last bit of his remaining Spiritual Power into it!
Instantly, a cold light glinted, a bloody mist splattered, and the wails of ghosts and howls of gods rang out!
From within the circle ca the sound of ten thousand beasts roaring in unison, as if countless Fierce Beasts were stampeding toward them, vowing to trample Celestial Phoenix City flat!
