Chapter 323: Chapter 133: Crushing Hunt, Yellow Springs Death Qi Reveals Its Might! Dantian Qi Sea Transformation, Washing Marrow and Rushing Meridians to Break Through
"Trying to expel the Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi from your body right now? Don’t even think about it!"
Lu Tao was closest to the black-robed man. Forcing down the aching numbness in his arm, he leaped up, his saber gathering all his Primordial Qi as he furiously slashed down at the golden shield!
"CLANG!"
A deafening clang, like the tolling of a great bell, echoed all around. Lu Tao felt a massive rebound force travel up his blade, nearly tearing the saber from his grasp. The impact sent him flying backward!
He stumbled back several steps upon landing before steadying himself. The web of his thumb was bleeding, and his face was filled with shock.
"Everyone, attack together! Break this shield!"
Cao Feng roared, his Long Saber once again channeling the "Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber." Ninefold Force stacked together and slammed viciously into the Imperial Golden Shield.
The Golden Bell shook violently, its surface shimmering erratically, yet it remained as stable as ever, showing no sign of shattering.
The Old Constable also put his all into a slash. The light from his blade was like a bolt of silk, striking the Golden Bell directly, but it only made the bell shake more violently without breaking it in the slightest.
Chu Fan’s brow furrowed slightly. He struck out repeatedly with his "Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand." The Cold Qi and Death Qi within his Palm Force clung to the Golden Bell’s surface, emitting a SIZZLING, corrosive sound.
Where his palms struck, the Golden Bell’s luster seemed to dim slightly.
But the Golden Bell actually had a self-repairing ability and was slowly neutralizing the corrosion from the Cold Qi and Death Qi.
And with Chu Fan’s current Primordial Qi strength, completely shattering this shield in a short amount of time was nigh impossible.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Cao Feng and the other two unleashed a flurry of frenzied slashes.
Though ripples spread across the Imperial Golden Shield, it remained unshakable.
However, the black-robed man inside the shield had grown visibly paler.
Just then, Chu Fan saw the Old Constable’s latest slash make the Golden Bell tremble violently, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He gave his right wrist a gentle flick.
A small, dark shadow detached from his wrist like a nimble snake, then flew up and floated before the Old Constable.
It was none other than the seemingly inconspicuous "Demon-locking Chain"!
Chu Fan said in a low voice, "Use this!"
The Old Constable was stunned for a moment, then his face filled with ecstatic joy.
Although he had never practiced any Chain Techniques, a Spirit Soldier possessed its own Spirituality.
No specific moves were needed. Just by infusing it with Primordial Qi and swinging it wildly, its power was already extraordinary!
He snatched the Demon-locking Chain, pouring his Second Heaven of the Divine Power Realm Primordial Qi into it without reservation.
"CLATTER, CLATTER!"
The originally small chain instantly swelled to over ten feet long, glowing with a deep, dark light.
The links collided, producing a crisp yet terrifying sound.
"Hah!"
The Old Constable shouted as he exhaled.
He swung his arms in a wide circle, treating the Demon-locking Chain like a great whip, and smashed it viciously against the Imperial Golden Shield with a sound that tore through the air!
The black-robed man, sitting cross-legged within the shield, suddenly snapped his eyes open. His pupils shrank as he cried out in alarm, "A Spirit Soldier—the Demon-locking Chain?!"
He knew the limits of his Imperial Golden Shield all too well; it could never block this attack!
"BOOM—CRACK!"
The sound was like shattering glass.
As the chain, glinting with dark light, smashed down, the seemingly unbreakable Imperial Golden Shield shattered on impact, dissolving into a sky full of light specks!
The moment the shield broke, the black-robed man’s survival instincts kicked in.
He threw his dignity aside and rolled wretchedly to the side.
"Die!"
Cao Feng, who had been building up his power, shot out like a cheetah.
His "Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber" transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, aimed straight for the black-robed man’s head!
Though startled, the black-robed man did not panic. At this moment of life and death, his lifetime of combat experience came to the fore.
As he rolled, he swung his left hand, and three condensed, invisible Wind Blades shot out faster than the initial attack, flying in a triangular formation toward Cao Feng’s chest!
He was confident that at such a close range, these three Wind Blades were enough to dismember an Early Stage of the Divine Power Realm Martial Artist!
But Cao Feng didn’t dodge or evade!
"PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!"
The three Wind Blades struck Cao Feng squarely in the chest.
His clothes tore, but the impact sounded like striking tough leather.
Cao Feng’s face paled. He let out a muffled grunt, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.
But his Saber Momentum didn’t falter in the slightest!
"What?!"
The black-robed man’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
The saber’s light fell!
"AHH—!"
A bloodcurdling scream tore through the valley.
Cao Feng’s slash directly severed the black-robed man’s left arm at the elbow as he hastily tried to block!
Fresh blood gushed out like a fountain...
In agonizing pain, the black-robed man infused his right leg with Primordial Qi and kicked viciously at Cao Feng’s abdomen.
If that kick landed, even a giant elephant would be crushed to pieces!
But Cao Feng, having succeeded with his strike, wasn’t greedy for more.
He had already used the rebound force to retreat swiftly toward Chu Fan.
The black-robed man, severely injured, was filled with bone-deep hatred for the one who had taken his arm.
He instinctively gave chase!
Just then, Cyan Snake made her move.
"Ten Thousand Serpent Curse Binding!"
Countless wisps of black qi shot up from the ground like spiritual snakes and wrapped around the black-robed man’s legs.
The black-robed man, who had completely lost his composure, was caught completely off guard. With a THUD, he fell flat on his face!
"..." Everyone present was stunned.
No one had expected that this powerful Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm expert, with his bizarre Body Technique, would be taken down by such a move and fall so disgracefully.
But Chu Fan reacted instantly...
"Silent Extinction Quicksand Technique!"
The sand and gravel on the ground were pulled by an unseen force, forming a curtain of sand that billowed toward the one-armed black-robed man.
For a Divine Power Realm Martial Artist, an attack like this should have been no more than a gentle breeze.
The black-robed man slapped his right palm on the ground, launching his entire body into the air.
He then executed "Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step," dissolving into several residual images as he lunged toward Cao Feng, his killing intent blazing. He swore to kill him with a single palm strike.
But he failed to notice that mixed within the curtain of sand Chu Fan had kicked up were wisps of much finer, almost imperceptible sand.
This fine sand came from the inconspicuous gourd at Chu Fan’s waist.
The "Phantom Kill" poison inside the gourd was colorless and odorless, and the fine sand had been soaking in it for a long time!
The Poisonous Sand silently and stealthily struck the wound on his severed arm, from which blood was still gushing...
