Chapter 478: Chapter 434: Zhanying’s Vengeance (Double-Length)
In the forest, Xie Jingshan battles Chai Chong.
Crimson blood-colored light emanates from Chai Chong’s withered claws, carrying a heavy scent of blood. In an instant, it forms a layer of eerie blood mist around him.
Bloodthirsty Claw!
Chai Chong viciously swings his claws, Xie Jingshan blocks with his sword, instantly toppling a large area of trees around them. A strange smell with crimson ripples spreads out.
Xie Jingshan frowns, feeling as though the blood in his body wants to leave.
Chai Chong, who looks like a dried corpse, takes a deep breath from afar, his pale complexion instantly becoming a bit rosy.
Blood sucking? And poison?
Xie Jingshan doesn’t dare to act impulsively, cautiously observing. Chai Chong, along with a massive blood mist, transforms into a red light and dashes forward, his claws interweaving as fast as lightning, unleashing a sky full of sharp and sinister blood claws, instantly enveloping Xie Jingshan.
Xie Jingshan furrows his brow tightly, the Huo Dou Sword sweeps up a golden fire line, cutting down all those blood claws.
Chai Chong charges to the front, Xie Jingshan holds his sword to block.
Zhing!
Chai Chong’s hands, as hard as steel, grasped onto Xie Jingshan’s sword, producing the sound of clashing metal.
Golden fire surges; Chai Chong feels as though facing a great enemy, hurriedly retreats.
Not knowing what plan Chai Chong is plotting, after retreating, he attacks ferociously again, his whole being akin to a leopard, swift and unstoppable.
Sword shadows and blood claws flicker like specters; every collision sparks a string of dazzling sparks.
Moments later, Chai Chong swings his claw down from above Xie Jingshan’s head, causing Xie Jingshan to suddenly feel dizzy, his blood qi insufficient, and he is struck back forcefully by Chai Chong’s sharp claws.
Chai Chong’s face is sinister, landing far away, watching Xie Jingshan sway, his pallor severe, barely standing with his sword used as support.
"Heh~ hit by my blood poison, what does it matter even if your cultivation is high, still you’re...!!"
Before Chai Chong could finish his words, a golden sword aura suddenly attacks from behind. Chai Chong dodges clumsily, a large chunk of flesh from his right shoulder is instantly sliced off.
He turns around abruptly, seeing behind him stands another Xie Jingshan, identical to the last, completely unaffected by blood poison, with a rosy complexion.
Chai Chong turns his horror-stricken face toward the distant Xie Jingshan, who is gradually transforming into a small sword, clearly a special kind of clone magic treasure.
Within the Iron Palm Sect, Chai Chong’s abilities are somewhat weak but mastered in poison. Anyone afflicted by his toxins would become his blood meal; it has always been thus, unfailingly successful.
This is the first time Chai Chong has encountered someone immune to his poison; with the poison useless, his arms might as well be disabled.
Xie Jingshan sneers contemptuously, "Playing poison with me? Who do you think you are?"
Xie Jingshan, influenced by Jiang Yuebai, thought having a clone to play true and false, illusory and real, was quite fun. Therefore, before going out this time, he had his grandfather craft a Magic Sword Avatar.
Earlier, he discreetly crouched nearby controlling the clone to fight Chai Chong; if he wins, then relying solely on the clone, he can defeat this trash; if he loses, then he’s just warming up with the clone and hasn’t exerted his full strength yet.
No matter what happens, he won’t lose face; it’s perfect!
"If you have no other moves, then try this young master’s newly learned Fire Thunder Sword Intent!"
As soon as the words fall, Xie Jingshan wields his sword and strikes forcefully. The Golden Crow Fire is intensely vigorous, like galaxies pouring down, exploding amidst fierce clashes with bursts of thunderous echoes.
The entire forest is instantly enveloped in dazzling golden thunder, as if piercing through the void, shattering everything, surging toward Chai Chong with overwhelming force.
Chai Chong is horrified, desperately defending, but is momentarily engulfed by the sea of golden thunder.
Boom, boom, boom!
Thunder roars, the world is awash in golden brilliance, vast and boundless.
Chai Chong doesn’t even have time to scream before being pulverized to dust within the Golden Crow Fire Thunder, nothing remains.
Xie Jingshan collects his sword and looks up; in the distant mountain recess, Lu Nanzhi is battling Zong Lie, fighting fiercely.
*
Lu Nanzhi traps Zong Lie within the Six Strikes Sword Array, the Ice Simurgh soaring, ice arrows falling like a storm, killing blows emerge from the Six-Sided Ice Wall, attacking Zong Lie from six directions.
Zong Lie clad in heavy armor, wielding a flame heavy hammer larger than a man, stands unflinchingly like the ancient War God against Lu Nanzhi’s fierce assault.
His armor, made of unknown material, is impenetrable by Lu Nanzhi’s demonic qi and ice arrows; indestructible.
Zong Lie shouts explosively, his heavy hammer lifted high, growing larger against the wind, akin to a volcano erupting, slams brutally against one side of the sword array’s ice wall.
Boom!
The violent force shatters the entire sword array; Lu Nanzhi takes a heavy blow and falls out from the sword array, retreating several steps before stabilizing her form.
Without supplemental demonic qi here, Zong Lie’s power is unlike anything Lu Nanzhi has ever seen; her ice is vulnerable against his monstrous strength.
