Chapter 285: Chapter 260: A Deadly Game_1
The might of the sword’s radiance was shocking to the extreme, its speed terrifying to hear.
Even the mighty King Ming’s countenance changed in an instant, as he unhesitatingly thrust his lance downwards.
Clang!
An earth-shattering explosion ensued.
At the intersection of the lance tip and the sword tip, a dazzling radiance erupted, like a mini sun.
The lance and the sword light were in a stalemate for a mere moment. The lance trembled dramatically, and King Ming’s body jolted and flew hundreds of meters upward before stabilizing.
Due to summoning the Primordial Spirit Manifestation, much of his strength had been dispersed, and in that strike just now, he had been at a disadvantage.
Just as King Ming’s body came to a halt, above him, a figure abruptly appeared, holding a war sword and striking down towards King Ming’s head.
Without a second thought, King Ming raised his lance to block.
With a ’clang’, King Ming’s body descended rapidly. The Primordial Spirit Manifestation flashed and landed beside King Ming, hurling an upward strike with a battle ax from one of its arms, spinning rapidly and cleaving towards the person above.
That figure at his top swung his sword, blocking the battle axe.
"Sky-Breaking Sword, Zhuo Kunsheng."
King Ming’s cold voice echoed.
A tremor passed through the hearts of many within Shengxuan Mountain.
Zhuo Kunsheng, the contemporary Sect Master of Tianque Sect and the strongest among them, was one of the twenty strongest individuals in Da Chu. He was equal in fame to King Ming.
"Chu Tianming, my Tianque Sect and Shengxuan Sect are twigs of the same tree. If you wish to annihilate them, I’ll slay you."
Zhuo Kunsheng, who seemed to be in his fifties, had a robust stature and exuded a stronng oppressive aura.
"Zhuo Kunsheng, your presence here suggests that this is all part of your plan, not just the Yan Clan releasing the Ancient Blood Demon."
King Ming spoke coldly.
"Ha, Chu Tianming, you are indeed clever. From the moment the Yan Clan began releasing the Ancient Blood Demon, to when I dispatched a decoy army of two hundred thousand to besiege the Mansion of King Ming, the purpose was this moment, to lure you alone to Shengxuan Sect."
"Truly, as I anticipated. You, Chu Tianming, are so arrogant and self-confident that you would come to Shengxuan Sect alone. Today is the end of you, Chu Tianming."
Zhuo Kunsheng laughed heartily.
As Zhuo Kunsheng spoke, another figure appeared on each side of King Ming.
These were two old men, their hair white with age, but their auras were terrifying.
"The two Supreme Elders of Tianque Sect are also present, but you think the three of you can hold King Ming?"
King Ming spoke, his face remaining calm even surrounded by formidable foes.
"Chu Tianming, how about including us?"
A harsh and unpleasant voice echoed.
Two figures materialized behind King Ming.
One of the old men was adorned entirely in red, with a blood-red robe, and an aura of blood that pervaded his surroundings.
Lo and behold, it was none other than Lord Xueshen.
The other man was an extremely obese and robust man who towered at an astonishing five meters tall. His round and roly-poly belly and his overall pudgy appearance made him appear like a colossal meatball from afar.
The aura of the fat man was in no way inferior to that of Lord Xueshen, evidently of similar standing.
"Lord Xueshen, Lord of the Greedy Wolf Hall, Zhuo Kunsheng, does your Tianque Sect consort with Spirit Sect as well?"
King Ming finally showed a serious expression, his words laced with a hint of mockery.
"Chu Tianming, the current situation has changed, and this world no longer only belongs to your Chu Clan. The ways of the Chu Clan cannot bind others."
Zhuo Kunsheng responded.
"Hehehe, what Sect Master Zhuo said is correct. In this world, your Chu Clan is the only one still resisting our Holy Sect. Many of the feudal princes are embracing our Holy Sect. In this changing era, if you cannot keep up, you Chu Tianming, are bound to be eliminated."
Lord Xueshen laughed coldly, and the air around him grew thicker with the scent of blood, morphing into a sea of blood that covered the surrounding void.
Hum!
At this moment, King Ming moved suddenly. His long lance vibrated, shot out like a dragon, and rushed towards a certain direction.
This direction was the area defended by a Supreme Elder of the Tianque Sect.
"Attack!"
Zhuo Kunsheng and the others, poised and ready, prepared to attack at a moment’s notice. When King Ming moved, they too moved.
Light emanated from each of their bodies as they all exhibited the Primordial Spirit Manifestation.
Primordial Spirit Manifestations of varying sizes appeared in the sky, among which the largest was Zhuo Kunsheng’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation, which was three hundred meters tall and equivalent to King Ming’s Manifestation.
The six experts launched their attacks at King Ming simultaneously. At the same time, the experts of the Shengxuan Sect activated the Shengxuan Tower, pushing it towards King Ming.
Each of them was a top-notch expert in the Da Chu nation. Their combined attack bore a terrifying power. Even the formidable King Ming could not break free from the enclosure, being forced back with a staggering step, his face pale and a trace of blood smeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Five Senses, Strip."
Lord Xueshen, exerting his full strength to drive the Primordial Spirit Manifestation, released a piercing shriek from his Manifestation, and invisible sound waves surged forth, enveloping King Ming.
King Ming suddenly felt as though everything turned dark, taste, smell, hearing, all stripped away.
"Cosmic Water Jail."
A Supreme Elder of Tianque Sect chanted softly, and a treasure bead the size of a goose egg appeared on his hand, initiating a vast water flow, which transformed into a water cage, ensnaring King Ming.
"Kill!"
The Lord of the Greedy Wolf Hall wielded a large axe, his arms exerting strength, hurled the large axe fiercely, cleaving towards King Ming.
The other Supreme Elder from Tianque Sect held a jet-black warbow, releasing a dazzling arrow that aimed right at King Ming’s heart.
The most frightening of them all had to be the Sect Master of Tianque Sect, Zhuo Kunsheng.
His sword seemed to pull the very rules of heaven and earth. Traces of green energy adhered to the sword, which, when slashed, emitted a sword light like a rearing horse, seemingly cleaving the heaven and earth apart, and aimed at King Ming’s neck.
A combined strike from multiple experts, complementing each other, it was a lethal blow, one that few in this world could block.
King Ming roared, stirring the invisible forces between heaven and earth. His body was enveloped in a dazzling golden glow, with his long spear and Primordial Spirit Manifestation both cloaked in a layer of gold.
The entire void was trembling.
Whiz, whiz, whiz...
Myriad amounts of golden light transformed into innumerable forces, rushing out in all directions.
Lord Xueshen’s sonic attack was instantly crushed.
King Ming regained his senses, swung his long spear to induce golden light, and with a shake of his arm, thrust his rapidly spinning spear and smashed the water-cell. His attack then collided with the sword light of Zhuo Kunsheng.
These two terrifying attacks have led to a stalemate.
However, the attacks from the other masters, along with their Primordial Spirit Manifestations, rushed him like a tide, submerging King Ming.
Boom!
Suddenly, a figure was flung backwards, flying tens of thousands of meters away, hitting a mountain and causing it to explode. Countless giant stones flew around chaotically and a thousand-meter-high peak collapsed.
Next, the figure soared out from the crumbling mountain, astonishingly it was King Ming.
At this moment, King Ming was extremely disadvantaged, disheveled, pale-faced, and spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
It could be seen that there was a palm print on his chest, which had almost pierced through him.
There was also a sword wound on his abdomen, that almost split his body in half.
King Ming turned to flee, transforming into a streak of golden light and rapidly speeding off into the distance.
"Pursue him, don’t let him escape! Chu Tianming’s cultivation level is increasingly profound. His understanding and control of the Rule of Gold is also extremely profound. If we don’t kill him today, he will pose an endless threat in the future."
Zhuo Kunsheng let out a roar, transformed into a sword light, and quickly started chasing after him.
The two Supreme Elders of the Tianque Sect, as well as Lord Xueshen, the Master of Greedy Wolf Hall, and the Sect Master of Shengxuan Sect, all had solemn expressions on their faces.
They had already greatly overestimated King Ming, but his strength was still beyond their expectations.
Despite being besieged by so many masters, he still managed to survive and burst out of the encirclement.
You must know that Zhuo Kunsheng alone was a master at the same level as King Ming. They had fought several times and were all on equal footing. Coupled with the involvement of several other top masters, they had thought King Ming’s death under a joint siege was certain.
Today, King Ming is gravely injured, presenting the best opportunity to kill him. Everyone in pursuit had their speed at its peak, chasing after King Ming.
Whiz!
A Supreme Elder of the Tianque Sect launched a golden arrow that shot through the sun.
Lu Yan’s Nine Ring Arrow compared to this one, was like a candle to the bright moon. There was no comparison.
The arrow shot across dozens of miles in an instant, aiming at King Ming.
King Ming swung his spear to block the arrow, but the action also caused his wound to throb, turning his face pale.
"Chu Tianming, you will certainly die today!"
Lord Xueshen activated the power of his Martial Spirit, grew a pair of wings and flapped them vigorously. His speed was extremely fast, keeping up with the sword light transformed by Zhuo Kunsheng, leading the pursuit.
The previous siege had left King Ming gravely injured. His speed was now inferior to that of Lord Xueshen and Zhuo Kunsheng.
The distance between the parties was gradually closing.
One chased and one fled, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered tens of thousands of miles.
Suddenly, it seemed like they were about to catch up with King Ming.
A mountain range appeared in front of them.
The mountain range was pitch-black, filled with dark fog, resembling a huge dragon lying on the earth.
"Moling Mountain Range."
The faces of Lord Xueshen, Zhuo Kunsheng, and others all changed.
Without looking back, King Ming charged straight into the Moling Mountain Range, and disappeared from sight.
Zhuo Kunsheng and Lord Xueshen stopped in mid-air, not daring to enter.
"Legend has it that in the ancient past, a terrifying demon fell in Moling Mountain Range, forming its own Devil’s Domain. It’s a forbidden place for living beings."
Zhuo Kunsheng said slowly, a serious expression on his face.
Even a high-level master at his level didn’t dare to enter lightly.
Except for two safe paths, the rest of the Moling Mountain Range is a forbidden area for others, including Zhuo Kunsheng.
Historically, more than once, top-level powerhouses have entered, but never come out again.
Some speculated that the great demon in the Moling Mountain Range didn’t die but was revived, hiding inside to heal its wounds.
Others say that the great demon that fell in the Moling Mountain Range was too powerful, beyond Primordial Spirit Realm, so the Devil’s Domain formed after its death is incredibly horrifying.
There were numerous opinions.
"Your Spirit Sect, isn’t it good at dealing with demons? How much do you understand about the Moling Mountain Range? Can you go in and collaborate with the demon inside to kill Chu Tianming?"
Zhuo Kunsheng said.
Lord Xueshen shook his head and said, "No, we don’t know much about the Moling Mountain Range."
Zhuo Kunsheng appeared sceptical, obviously not believing him.
After all, after Martial Spirits develop malevolently, they transform into Spirit Demons.
It could be said that the origin of demons lies in Martial Spirits.
How could the Spirit Sect not understand the Moling Mountain Range?
At this moment, the Master of Greedy Wolf Hall and the two Supreme Elders of the Tianque Sect also caught up.
"Ancient demons, although related to Spirit Demons, are also different. Ancient demons are incredibly pure demons, while the great demon of Moling Mountain Range fell in an earth-shattering war five thousand years ago. That level of power is inconceivable, beyond our comprehension. Even the high-level masters of our Spirit Sect dare not enter."
Lord Xueshen stated.
