Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Bloody Battle
At that moment, Gu Zhangyi began walking toward Ye Tianling, stepping on the void.
Her pace seemed slow, but in reality, she closed the distance to Ye Tianling in the space of a single breath.
"I gave you a chance. If you had just obediently submitted, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. But I have to admit, you are truly worthy of the title ’Divine Child’ to have dodged three of my moves. Now, you can die with no regrets!"
Gu Zhangyi said coolly.
A cold, crazed light flickered in Ye Tianling’s eyes as he sneered, "You want my life? An old dog like you isn’t capable of taking it!"
Gu Zhangyi didn’t get angry. Her tone grew even more indifferent. "Why bother? Acting so frantic will only make your death more miserable. Alright, it’s time to send you on your way. The fact that I let you dodge three moves was me going easy on you!"
As Gu Zhangyi spoke, her eyes became completely devoid of emotion.
In that instant, her hand once again transformed into a fox claw, but this time, it was a Battle Soul Mark.
The Mark coalesced instantly, like a Manifestation of a Totem, and shot directly toward Ye Tianling in a single strike.
This attack was far more ferocious and terrifying than any technique she had used before.
Before the force of the strike even landed, the ground beneath Ye Tianling’s feet shattered, and the world in all directions plunged into complete darkness.
This was clearly a true Holy Killing Intent.
Ye Tianling took a deep breath. At this point, he had no choice but to bet everything on one last gamble.
’The Parasite and Creation Abilities of the Insect Race... whether they can withstand this fatal blow is the real key!’
Ye Tianling fully merged his Soul with the Blood Secret Realm.
At that moment, he instantly activated all the Dragon Blood within the thirty-one-story Space-Time Soul-locking Tower.
At the same time, he pushed his Nine-Orifice Exquisite Demon Heart to its absolute limit.
The Dragon Blood Burning, the Bloodline Particles within his body vibrated at their highest possible frequency. Ye Tianling unleashed the Battle Power of the Nine Forbidden, his own strength erupting to over 300% of its normal capacity!
In that instant, Ye Tianling performed a Blood Sacrifice to the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and unleashed a strike of the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao.
Ye Tianling didn’t try to meet Gu Zhangyi’s attack head-on. Instead, he planned to trade his life for hers. As long as a single drop of his blood or a strand of his Residual Soul remained, he could use the Innate Ability of the Insect Race, the Blood Secret Realm, and his Soul state to survive.
Therefore, this strike was also Ye Tianling’s most powerful trump card.
Gu Zhangyi’s attack arrived.
At this very moment, Ye Tianling’s Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword suddenly erupted with a brilliant, bloody light.
"SHOOOOSH—"
It was like a blood-red crescent moon suddenly manifesting a Destruction Totem.
The crescent moon rose.
The sword strike was like a black hole of Destruction, carving out a path of universal Silent Extinction.
The speed of this sword strike was far beyond simply being fast.
"BOOM—"
Gu Zhangyi’s attack landed on Ye Tianling.
Ye Tianling transformed into Soul Energy Particles, activating the Netherworld Life and Death Path, yet he was still instantly obliterated into dust.
A spray of blood burst outward.
The Nirvana Nine Transformations.
The Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique.
The Nirvana Rebirth Skill.
The Netherworld Life and Death Path.
In that instant, the myriad bloody particles erupted with a shocking aura of transformation and instantly converged.
At the same time, a large number of independent Ye Tianlings split off. In a flash, just like the Insect Race, countless finger-sized versions of Ye Tianling all manifested.
"BOOM—"
The many miniature Ye Tianlings converged.
Ye Tianling reformed.
All within a ten-thousandth of a second.
However, Ye Tianling’s Life Force was instantly depleted, leaving him with only nine days left to live.
And his face was utterly pale.
At the same time, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword’s Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao also struck Gu Zhangyi in that same instant.
"PFFFT—"
That strike was too terrifying.
The attack, a Blood Sacrifice Xuan Yuan Soul, had unleashed nearly a third of the Energy stored within the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword!
Power of this level was simply heaven-defying.
This was a killing blow that had previously been able to heavily wound even a Saint!
When the strike hit, Gu Zhangyi immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"AHHH—"
Gu Zhangyi’s glabella was instantly pierced. Her figure flew backward as she clutched her head, writhing in agony.
"Kill!"
Ye Tianling coughed up blood and completely let go of the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, activating its autonomous killing instinct.
"SHOOOOSH—"
The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword struck out again.
"CHH-CHH—"
Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao!
Another strike.
"AHHH—"
Once again, her head was pierced by the sword. Gu Zhangyi still didn’t die, but she was in extreme pain, her body twisting violently.
Ye Tianling’s figure shot forward. He gathered the power of the Samadhi Celestial Fire and directly threw a Reincarnation Life and Death Fist!
The punch landed squarely on Gu Zhangyi’s jaw.
"PFFFT—"
This punch, channeling the grim power of the Sword Venerate Dominating Body, was executed with the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao.
Even though Gu Zhangyi was a Saint, her physique was not strong enough to withstand such a blow. Ye Tianling’s physical body contained terrifying brute force and the Samadhi Celestial Fire.
This punch, amplified by the power of the Celestial Fire, directly smashed Gu Zhangyi’s beautiful face into a twisted mess.
The bones in her jaw all exploded, leaving a pulp of flesh and blood.
Gu Zhangyi was sent flying into the air, and the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword struck out again, even more ferociously.
"Old woman, old dog! Today, I, Ye Tianling, will once again butcher a Saint!"
Ye Tianling roared coldly, soaring into the sky and stomping down with his foot.
Gu Zhangyi took one hit after another. The attacks from the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao had destroyed all her Defense Power, Devoured a portion of her Saint Origin, and shattered a large part of her Battle Soul, leaving her in a terrible state.
What was even more terrifying was that the sentient Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword was like a true Saint!
With Ye Tianling having completely let it go, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword’s attacks had completely suppressed Gu Zhangyi.
Because of this, Ye Tianling’s own attacks could land every time.
With a single stomp, Ye Tianling kicked Gu Zhangyi out of the void, slamming her straight into a deep crater in the ground.
"AHHH—"
Gu Zhangyi screamed miserably again, completely beaten into a daze.
"Go on, kill! Kill, you bitch!"
As Ye Tianling stomped, crushing Gu Zhangyi’s face, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword also slashed out horizontally, instantly severing her neck.
"PFFFT—"
Gu Zhangyi’s head was chopped off.
But, as a Saint, it was impossible for her to die so easily, even at this stage!
The fact that the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword had pierced her glabella three times without killing her was proof enough of how terrifying Saints were.
Saints possessed tenacious Life Force to begin with. And as a mutated member of the Jade Fox Race who possessed the Netherworld Birth and Death Technique, she could transform herself into Soul Energy Particles, manipulating life and death. What’s more, the Jade Fox Race seemed to have seen through much of the Celestial Evil Race’s powerful Cultivation Techniques. The combination of the two made the Life Force of a Sumeru Mountain Cultivator so tenacious it was suffocating!
Having severed Gu Zhangyi’s head, Ye Tianling was about to summon the Samadhi Celestial Fire to incinerate it.
’As long as it’s burned by the Samadhi Celestial Fire, this Gu Zhangyi is dead for sure!’
