Chapter 746: Chapter 745: Knife-Shaped Hall
The deep gray shadow man, over thirty feet tall, with blurry contours, emanates a strong blade Qi. That Qi is at least 1.5 times more powerful than than that of the ordinary transparent man.
What’s more terrifying is its mobility.
Or more accurately, it has better coordination with the Array System, hence its movement is much faster. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Mu Ling, its arm swung out like a full moon slicing arc.
"Jade Lion Fist!"
A strong sense of crisis forced Mu Ling to give it his all. One punch, fiercely thrown out.
Bang!
A lion-shaped phantom appeared and bit off the blade Qi. Surprisingly, the Qi divided into two waves. The first wave was destroyed while the second suddenly became difficult to manage. After severing the lion’s phantom, it already arrived in front of Mu Ling.
"Seven Rings Great Method, Lion’s Fury!"
Being unable to defeat even these blade Qi beings utterly embarrassed Mu Ling, especially with the fact that Hua Yiyun and two other outsiders were present.
A halo shot out from Mu Ling’s mind, locking onto the deep gray transparent person. They may be unconscious, but they have intent. As long as there’s intent, they cannot escape the binding of Seven Rings Great Method.
Simultaneously, a giant lion’s skull appeared on his fist, roaring wildly. A wave of sound surged forth, its lethality almost on par with the Fifth Tier level.
This attack, "Lion’s Fury," was Mu Ling’s new move, created based on the experiences of Shi Xiaole and two others.
The deep gray shadowy figure was locked in place for a moment, then faced the powerful sonic assault. Clearly visible were layers of blade Qi on its body being gradually diminished. When only thirty percent remained, it suddenly broke free from the ring of light and merged into Glazed Space.
Whoosh!
An endless blade light from behind cleaved towards Duanmu Keren, with the deep gray shadowy figure heralding a tail.
"What?"
The group was shocked, Mu Ling especially, looking rather upset.
Incredibly, the deep grey figure had immediately recuperated after his fatal attack.
"Phoenix Eye Fist!"
With speed comparable to the gray figure, Duanmu Keren slid sideways. Turning around, throwing a punch - her movements completed in an instant. The red glow suddenly obstructed the dual blade light.
But then the next moment...
Another blade light attacked once again.
Inside Glazed Space, the shadowy gray figure doesn’t accumulate power and has endless blade Qi. Combined with their deadly attack power and unpredictable speed, they can easily kill anyone even slightly stronger than themselves.
"Returning Vitality Divine Palm!"
A thick and heavy aura of a palm sent right the back of deep gray shadowy figure and with its dispersal, the palm energy did not disperse. Instead, it attracted the blade Qi preparing to reassemble. Amid the crackling sound, the blade Qi was slowly obliterated.
"Incredible!"
Everyone, including Duanmu Keren and Mu Ling, looked deeply at Gui Zhihang.
They always knew he was strong, but apparently to this extent. That palm strike just then was absolutely on par with mid-level Fifth Tier.
Shi Xiaole wasn’t surprised, he had never underestimated Gui Zhihang.
Logically, Yao Mie Sheng’s qualifications weren’t necessarily stronger than the three demons. Were he to compete with Gui Zhihang, who also turned 33 this year, the outcome would be uncertain, but it would surely be a fierce battle.
"Hmm?"
Gui Zhihang was frowning.
As the deep gray shadowy figure was obliterated, the surrounding Glazed Space suddenly began to vibrate violently. Then suddenly a pitch-black figure appeared.
If the deep gray figure was a sharp knife, then the pitch-black figure was a bizarre knife. Even the blade’s stray Qi made Gui Zhihang extremely wary.
The void fluctuated.
Clang!
In the scattering of sparks, Gui Zhihang’s protective aura collapsed inward and attached to his body’s surface. However, his counter-attack wasn’t slow. This time, the strength of "Returning Vitality Divine Palm" increased greatly, directly reaching high-level Fifth Tier.
A black blade light flashed, just colliding with the palm energy, and more black blade lights from behind, like a black tide, rushed over Gui Zhihang endlessly.
"Divine Unity Force!"
With a great opening and closing of both hands, under Gui Zhihang’s push, an invisible force suddenly expanded the Glazed Space into a sphere with a diameter of several tens of feet. Within the sphere, it was an empty white expanse, with only irrepressible gusts echoing within.
The black blade light hit it, immediately bogging down, as if stuck in a swamp. Its power seven parts gone, the sphere suddenly expanded and in the blink of an eye enveloped the black shadowy figure within it.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle.
As if being stabbed a thousand times, in an instant, the black shadowy figure didn’t know how many attacks it had endured - reassembling then being obliterated, in an endless cycle.
Duanmu Keren’s eyes constantly shifted.
The power of this move astonishingly reached the top tier Fifth level, no less than that of Yao Mie Sheng a few months ago - no, possibly even more formidable.
Crackle!
A scene arose that drove the people to despair.
The spherical aura energy was depleted, but the black colored figure wasn’t extinguished, only split into three. They set off in three directions at the same time towards Gui Zhihang.
Under the three black blade Qi’s joint attack, the blade Qi seemed like an unbreakable web layer upon layer, which immediately fractured Gui Zhihang’s body protection energy.
"Raging Tide!"
In the critical moment, countless green Sword Qi’s sprouted and rushed out, forming a tide like wave, instantly submerging all three black figures. Amid a tear-inducing piercing sound, two of the three black figures faded a lot in color.
"This guy!"
Including Gui Zhihang, everyone was wearing an incredulous look.
Even the weakest in strength, Yuan Yuying could see that Shi Xiaole’s sword skills had improved significantly compared to a few months ago. He was like a spring, you could never know where his limit lies.
They couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity. As soon as the sword Qi dispersed, Gui Zhihang’s move struck out anew, successfully obliterating the two already dimmed black figures.
"Everyone, I apologize for putting you in peril."
Gui Zhihang didn’t keep advancing.
This place was fraught with danger. He didn’t know what else was waiting for them. One misstep could potentially drag everyone into danger, which wasn’t what he wanted.
There’s now no way back. We have to unite to get through it."
Mu Ling uttered solemnly.
Brother Gui, don’t blame yourself, we chose to come here of our own accord."
Shi Xiaole also tried to assuage him.
Duanmu Keren didn’t say anything. She wouldn’t say something just to assuage others’ fears—those who understood would understand, if they didn’t, it just meant they weren’t on the same path.
Of course, Gui Zhihang understood everyone’s sentiment. His previous words were merely due to feeling overly guilty. He didn’t say much afterwards, but secretly decided in his heart to try his best to protect everyone regardless.
Surprisingly, along the rest of the journey, the group didn’t face any more danger. Instead, the Ends of the Earth Linked Heart Ring in Gui Zhihang’s hand became brighter and brighter, indicating its counterpart was drawing nearer.
Buzz!
The void trembled.
A huge stone hall appeared in front of them. Looking from afar, it was like a giant thick-backed knife resting on an angle. From time to time, a cluster of blade Qi that could make anyone’s heart turn cold burst forth from the gaping entrance.
The group exchanged glances. They had reached this point, backing down was no longer an option. Connected by the same purpose, they all entered the hall together.
