Chapter 479: Chapter 434: Zhanying’s Vengeance (Double-Length) (Part 2)
Upper Realm cultivators truly cannot be compared to Earth Spiritual Realm cultivators. Even though she has an advantage at the Late-Stage Golden Core, she still cannot suppress Zong Lie at Early-Stage Golden Core.
Zong Lie panted heavily, once again swinging up his heavy hammers. The surrounding power crazily converged onto them, igniting a dazzling flame, making him appear extremely terrifying.
Heavy Hammer Mountain Shattering!
Zong Lie fiercely smashed out with the heavy hammers. Lu Nanzhi retreated half a step, her thoughts lightning fast.
With her strength, going head-to-head with Zong Lie would definitely result in her suffering. To restrain Zong Lie she must... overcome force with softness!
Some time ago, when she and Jiang Yuebai were studying the Iron Palm Sect’s cultivation technique forms together, there was a mention of martial cultivators using force to overcome strategy. At that time, Jiang Yuebai said,
"Water, colorless and tasteless, softest and kindest, silent and weak when small, surging and overwhelming when massive, accommodating myriad forms, embracing all things, never violating the natural path."
Jiang Yuebai even gave her the Condensing Light Mirror for study and comprehension. She had been researching a new sword array these days and had gained some insights. Now is the time to try it!
"Six Strikes Sword Array!"
It was still the old move; Lu Nanzhi once again erected the six-sided ice wall, surrounding Zong Lie at the moment his heavy hammers struck down.
Boom!
The heavy hammers struck one of the ice walls, but instead of shattering the entire sword array into pieces as before, it was akin to hitting the surface of the sea. The surging tides swallowed all its power.
"Hmm?"
Zong Lie sounded puzzled.
Lu Nanzhi did not attack again. She simply stood quietly behind the six-sided water wall, expressionless as she gazed at Zong Lie.
Zong Lie was breathing heavily, having expended too much spiritual energy. He didn’t want to engage Lu Nanzhi in a prolonged battle and just wanted to quickly push her back, returning to the Mountain Protection Array.
He kept a low profile within the Iron Palm Sect, spending most of his time enhancing his own strength. If a real fight broke out, he would be stronger than the usual arrogant Chai Chong.
Zong Lie mustered his last breath, hammering out phantom images across the sky, with the weight of ten thousand jins, launching a frenzied bombardment on the six-sided ice water wall.
Boom boom boom!
The six-sided water wall was smashed into disarray, water splashing everywhere, but no matter how frantically Zong Lie attacked, the water within the wall would eventually flow back, restoring to its original form.
Lu Nanzhi continually absorbed Zong Lie’s power using the characteristics of water. When the accumulated force reached her capacity to bear, the six-sided water walls began to tremble violently, like boiling water.
"All of it, back to you!"
Lu Nanzhi shouted coldly. The six-sided water walls, along with six bodies, swung their swords with force!
The sword cries pierced through the empty space, crushing forward with unparalleled might, even tearing and twisting the air.
Just as one of Zong Lie’s heavy hammers met a sword aura, the force within the sword aura shredded it into powder, and the power was all too familiar to him - it was exactly the power he had previously hammered into the water wall.
The force of over a hundred hammers condensed into six sword auras. Zong Lie was terrified beyond measure. It was too late to escape, and his heavy armor dissipated like ash.
"No!!!"
Zong Lie’s shrill scream rang out as his entire body was engulfed by the sword auras, torn to shreds, with a rain of blood scattering.
Lu Nanzhi dispersed the sword array and saw Xie Jingshan standing not far away.
"Go help Little Bai."
"Let’s go!"
*
Inside Iron Palm Mountain, a deafening crash resounded across the sky.
Amidst the air, silhouettes intertwined, ferocious palm winds clashing with gun shadows like lightning, neither giving an inch.
The ferocious power detonated in the sky, roaring continuously, gusts of wind tearing through the air, rippling outward, layer by layer surging higher, striking fear into the hearts of onlookers.
The more Jiang Yuebai fought, the more absorbed she became. Yi Zhengyang’s palm technique was indeed unusually fierce, bold and uninhibited, with immense momentum. His offensive was fierce and swift, forcing her to focus completely, with no room to be distracted.
Disciples fleeing outward from the Iron Palm Sect looked up, terrified by the aftershocks of the aerial battle. The mere dispersal of forceful winds could easily shred a Qi Cultivation disciple, and a Foundation Establishment disciple could be killed on the spot if careless.
Bang!
Brilliant light scattered, fierce winds swept across the land, and the two silhouettes each retreated, pulling away from one another.
Yi Zhengyang for a moment could not defeat Jiang Yuebai. The longer they fought, the more powerless he felt, whereas Jiang Yuebai grew more adept and composed.
Murderous intent surged within him, his aura climbed rapidly to the peak, as his hands quickly formed complex, strange handprints. All the spiritual energy around gathered frenziedly to his body with the movements of his fingers.
Rumble!
Thunder roared as an Ancient Barbarian God illusion with a menacing face and massive stature gradually appeared on Yi Zhengyang’s body. A violent and overwhelming force spread swiftly, stirring up fierce winds, forcing Jiang Yuebai to retreat in defense.
