Chapter 2290: Chapter 2294: Self-Detonation—Only One Remains (Extra Chapter for ’Duanmu Linghuai’!)
"Looks like there’s no other way!"
Glancing at the entangled Sang Zhenye, and then at Zhang Sanfeng who has yet to integrate the dao seed into his body, Zhang Daoling murmured softly to himself, turning his gaze towards the advancing Tang Lin and Wen Bo.
Tang Lin and Wen Bo paid no mind to Zhang Daoling, someone who at the early Unity Realm Stage without experiencing the Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body, is merely at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.
"Friend Sanfeng, there are countless Great Dao in heaven and earth; although many Great Dao share similar attributes, everyone’s understanding is different. This is the rule of the Great Dao. You and I have merged our Great Dao, and the Great Dao we’ve comprehended has become identical, thus repelled by the heavens which is why you cannot integrate the dao seed within your body."
A calm voice rang out as Zhang Daoling, looking at Tang Lin and Wen Bo who had rushed over, spoke towards Zhang Sanfeng: "Therefore, only one of us can remain. Today, let this old Taoist assist Friend Sanfeng, hoping you can carry forward the Taoist art!"
As he finished speaking, he smiled slightly, and a powerful Primordial Spirit Aura erupted from within him.
"Self-destructing the Primordial Spirit!?"
Tang Lin and Lin Wenbo’s expressions changed drastically, hurriedly halting their advance.
"Senior, don’t!"
Zhang Sanfeng’s face changed dramatically, suddenly understanding Zhang Daoling’s intention, his heart surged with intense remorse.
If he had known it would come to this, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed to prove the Great Dao with Zhang Daoling or propose such a tribulation method!
"Friend Sanfeng, do not be sorrowful. This outcome, this old Taoist knew long ago. Being struck by an enemy in the past, I have been injured at my core, unable to break through any further. To be able to help you reach the Unity Realm, this old Taoist is already satisfied!"
Zhang Daoling smiled and glanced at Zhang Sanfeng, his figure flashed and charged towards Tang Lin and Wen Bo.
"Bastard!"
"Don’t come over!"
Tang Lin and Wen Bo’s expressions changed, they hurriedly retreated once more.
Their realms were forcibly boosted by Soul Devouring Power; though their realms were elevated, their Great Dao Comprehension didn’t keep up, their strength at best was equivalent to the early Unity Realm stage. This is also why Qin Chaolan fiercely struck Chen Zhenhua with such ease.
Every step in the Unity Realm requires surviving a Heavenly Tribulation, every time is a qualitative leap.
And now, Tang Lin and Wen Bo’s situation; if Zhang Daoling self-destructs beside them, they will surely be heavily injured, something they absolutely do not wish to see.
Below, Jiang Chen watched Zhang Daoling, who was resolute and unyielding, with clenched teeth, tightly grasping his fists. His nails pierced his palms, drawing bright-red blood.
Yet he showed no awareness, his heart was filled with sorrow and helplessness!
Though he still possessed a hint of Phantom Sword Intent, he had a vague feeling that someone had their eyes fixed on him, from those subtle perceptions, he had already guessed who it was.
If he unleashed Phantom Sword Intent, that person would surely attack relentlessly, then not only would he perish, but Sang Zhenye and the others would have no way out!
For that person is genuinely at the peak of the Unity Realm!
Jiang Chen dared not follow his senses to look, fearing being discovered by that concealed person. Though he didn’t know why that person hadn’t acted yet, should they remain inactive, perhaps everyone still had a sliver of hope for survival!
Beside him, Lin Yuyan had already been scared dumb by the drastic events, hiding behind Jiang Chen, watching those fellow disciples being slaughtered with a face as pale as a sheet, tears had already filled her face!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Zhang Daoling who was chasing Tang Lin and Wen Bo abruptly appeared beside Wu Qian and another person.
"Elder Sang, take Mr. Jiang and Friend Sanfeng and go!"
Zhang Daoling urgently commanded, and his body suddenly expanded.
"Bastard!"
"Get lost!"
Wu Qian and his companion shouted in fury.
Rumble!
Zhang Daoling’s body exploded violently, a wave of raging Qi Force instantly engulfed Wu Qian and his companion.
Towering black and white radiance suddenly obscured the sky, the surrounding space violently trembled!
Whoosh!
At the instant Zhang Daoling exploded, the forever-repelling dao seed instantly surged into Zhang Sanfeng’s brow.
Wow!
Black and white Great Dao Divine Light erupted from Zhang Sanfeng’s body, his brow gleamed, the Power of the Great Dao instantly returned to his control.
"Dao Ling Senior!"
Zhang Sanfeng cried out in sorrow, his gaze towards the explosion filled with self-blame. Zhang Daoling’s death could almost be counted as being caused by him!
Swish swish!
Two figures rapidly flew out from the explosion, Fan Zhongming’s complexion paled with traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, his aura slightly chaotic, while Wu Qian was comparatively better, though his clothes were thoroughly tattered.
Hm?
Suddenly, Zhang Sanfeng’s expression shifted, extending his hand to beckon.
Whoosh!
A severely weakened Primordial Spirit Power flew out from that immense radiance, landing in Zhang Sanfeng’s hand.
Feeling the familiar aura on the Primordial Spirit Power, Zhang Sanfeng’s expression brightened, carefully storing the weakened Primordial Spirit Power into his Sea of Consciousness.
Whoosh!
"Leave now!"
A figure appeared beside Zhang Sanfeng, Sang Zhenye swiftly grabbed him, rushing towards Jiang Chen.
"Stop him!"
Tang Lin shouted, rapidly charging towards Jiang Chen with Lin Wenbo, while Fan Zhongming and Wu Qian intercepted Sang Zhenye.
Seeing Fan Zhongming and Wu Qian’s pale faces, Jiang Chen suddenly confirmed a suspicion in his heart. But even if confirmed, his group still lacked powerful opponents!
"Move!"
Sang Zhenye shouted, fiercely delivering a palm strike towards Wu Qian and the other blocking him.
Wu Qian and his companion did not retreat, raising their palms to meet Sang Zhenye’s attack.
Rumble!
Amidst the thunderous roar, Wu Qian and his companion were instantly sent flying backwards, but Sang Zhenye was still hindered.
"Take Jiang Chen and leave!"
Seeing Tang Lin and Wen Bo almost reaching Jiang Chen’s side, Sang Zhenye tossed Zhang Sanfeng forward and rushed upward, entangling Wu Qian and his companion.
"Leave them both!"
Lin Wenbo sneered, twisting to charge at Zhang Sanfeng, while Tang Lin continued towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen fixed his gaze on the approaching Tang Lin, his mind frantically calculating the chances of them escaping. In the end, Jiang Chen felt a wave of powerlessness; escape was impossible! Under these circumstances, there’s no way out!
If escape is impossible, then fighting and killing at least one opponent won’t be in vain!
Full of resolve, cold killing intent emerged in Jiang Chen’s eyes, a trace of blood-colored radiance quietly appeared at the center of his brow.
"Get lost!"
Just as Jiang Chen was about to unleash the Phantom Sword Intent, fighting recklessly, an angry roar resonated, and a figure swiftly appeared beside him, delivering a fierce palm strike towards Tang Lin.
Tang Lin’s face shifted, hurriedly delivering a palm to counter the incoming assault.
Bang!
As palms collided, a tremendous crash and roar ensued, overflowing with a wave of fierce Qi Force, radiating outward.
Whoosh!
A gentle force collided with Jiang Chen and Lin Yuyan, gently pushing them out beyond the range of expanding Qi Force ripples.
