Chapter 422: Chapter 422 A Handful Of Pills
"Boom!"
Endless brilliant lights detonated across my body!
These represented the ultimate techniques of Grandmaster Peak fighters, and despite my physical strength, I couldn’t withstand them!
My body crashed violently into the earth, the massive blade barely missing me as it swept by!
"Strike now, seize him!" someone commanded coldly.
At those words, chains suddenly wrapped around me.
These restraints were crafted from pure Inner Strength, locking down my arms and legs, leaving me unable to move!
Already badly wounded, I found myself struggling even harder in this moment!
"Swoosh!"
The skeleton raised its blade once more, slashing down at me with fierce determination.
My expression darkened as I attempted to break free, but these powerful chains held me fast!
Chirp-ah!
The enormous blade crashed down on my body!
The golden aura surrounding me shattered immediately, powerless to halt the blade’s descent!
The black weapon struck my chest.
A crimson gash opened before everyone’s sight!
"Puff!"
The tremendous force made me cough up blood!
"Ah!!"
In that instant, I threw back my head and bellowed in fury as terrifying Qi Jin exploded outward!
The chains holding me prisoner broke apart instantly! Brilliant light erupted beneath my feet as deadly killing intent wrapped around me, my battle spirit reaching new heights!
"He broke through somehow," someone muttered coldly.
"He’s running on fumes, won’t last much longer."
"Everyone, press the advantage, don’t give him any openings."
The group exchanged looks, coming to an understanding.
As for me, floating in the air, my face was deadly serious.
I hadn’t expected this fight to prove so challenging.
"If I can’t destroy this skeleton, I have zero chance of winning today," I said coldly.
"Swoosh!"
I flipped my palm, and a bronze sword dropped into my grip.
"Before I left Divine Alchemist Pavilion, I mastered sword arts," I whispered to myself.
"Originally meant for fighting Vance Johansson, but I didn’t think I’d need it this quickly."
Bronze sword in hand, my eyes blazed with unshakeable resolve.
My blood essence flowed from my forehead, touching the bronze sword. Instantly, the weapon pulsed with an eerie, mesmerizing radiance!
This glow wasn’t blinding, but it was strangely compelling, drawing every gaze and refusing to let go!
"Come on, let’s see if you can avoid the Divine Rank sword technique my father left behind, skeleton," I said coldly.
The skeleton, seeming to grasp my words, raised its massive blade and charged at me again!
"Nine Slashes, First Slash!"
I gripped the sword with both hands, and intimidating Sword Light erupted in this moment!
The strange radiance surged forward like a furious ocean!
My blood ignited, killing intent rolling, the enchanting Sword Light blanketed the sky as it met the skeleton!
"Clang!"
Blade met sword, creating a dazzling spark!
The skeleton’s huge form was actually pushed back several paces!
"It really works," I sneered.
The Nine Slashes was an authentic Divine Rank Sacred Technique, rumored to split the heavens and rend the earth when mastered completely!
But right now, I could only manage the second slash, so I couldn’t waste any time.
"Everyone, move quickly. Once this skeleton falls, we might not get another shot!" someone yelled frantically.
The crowd activated their techniques again, ready to deliver a killing blow to me!
I glared at them coldly and muttered, "I need to finish this skeleton fast!"
As I spoke, the bronze sword’s glow shot up three feet higher!
"Nine Slashes, Second Slash!" I roared, channeling all my spiritual power into the bronze sword in that instant!
The blood-red Sword Light seemed to descend from the horizon, its overwhelming force shaking the very earth!
The nearby mountain was leveled to flat ground, and even from miles away, anyone could witness this incredible sight!
"Chirp-ah!"
Sword Light struck the skeleton, slicing through its entire form as easily as cutting butter!
At this moment, the jet-black skeleton began to collapse, turning into endless dark mist that vanished into the sky.
My breathing became somewhat labored.
With my current power, unleashing the second sword was already pushing my limits.
Randal Tristan’s body plummeted straight down.
Within moments, it crumbled to dust and disappeared completely from existence.
The scene fell silent.
Everyone sensed a hint of dread.
"Everyone, don’t panic. This kid is drained. As long as we unite, we can kill him easily," some said anxiously.
Even so, my seemingly unstoppable presence cast a shadow over their hearts.
In mid-air, I stared coldly at the group of people.
The surging murderous aura around me didn’t diminish at all.
"Mason Raymond, we can let you live today," someone suggested abandoning the fight.
Once someone loses nerve, the others’ morale would crumble instantly.
"Exactly, we respect your talent and don’t want to kill you like this."
"Maybe in the future, we could see you reach the summit."
I looked coldly at the group, smiling, "Sorry, but I don’t plan on sparing any of you."
When I said this, the atmosphere became incredibly tense.
"Mason Raymond, our goodwill is trying to spare you, but you don’t appreciate it!" someone shouted angrily.
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter in mid-air.
The laughter rang through the valley, making people’s ears ring.
"What are you... what are you laughing about!" Under my laughter, someone felt nervous and couldn’t help shouting angrily to mask the fear in their heart.
I said coldly, "Opportunity and danger always go hand in hand. For me, I can accept the danger for the sake of opportunity. What about all of you?"
Everyone looked confused and asked, "What do you... what do you mean?"
"It means... you’re all dying today."
As soon as I finished speaking, my body suddenly vanished.
The next second, they saw a fist large as the sun coming at them!
This was the peak of my Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist, stirring up countless ripples on the water’s surface!
"This is bad, let’s flee!"
Someone realized the danger and frantically tried to escape.
Some couldn’t get away under the mighty power of my Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist and were pulverized by a single punch!
I pursued without mercy, using a do-or-die fighting style.
My spiritual power was nearly exhausted, but it still couldn’t stop my surging killing intent!
In an instant, the riverside seemed to transform into hell, with blood flowing into the river, staining it crimson!
All the people panicked, and even when they tried to fight back, they were still no match for me.
"Pa!"
I pushed the Heaven Swallowing Skill to its limits. With each wave of my hands, someone was drained of their Inner Strength!
The massacre continued from day to night until a full moon hung in the sky before finally ending.
Looking at the countless corpses around me, I felt no guilt in my heart.
I seemed to go wild, feeling an indescribable thrill!
But the excitement in my heart couldn’t support my body’s exhaustion.
I sat by the river and whispered, "The eleven Grandmasters let me reach the second layer of the Enlightenment Stage. It seems absorbing their cultivation is much quicker."
At this moment, I suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.
"Mr. Raymond’s abilities are truly remarkable."
The speaker was none other than the Formation Master, Kamden Nick.
During this time, he hadn’t acted and was just observing from the sidelines.
I glanced at him and said coldly, "You didn’t attack, and I won’t kill you. Leave."
Kamden Nick raised an eyebrow and said, "Should I thank Mr. Raymond, then?"
I stayed quiet and ignored Kamden Nick.
Kamden Nick sneered, "Mason Raymond, you didn’t take me for a good guy, did you?"
Hearing this, I slowly got to my feet.
I looked at Kamden Nick and asked, "What do you mean?"
Kamden Nick laughed, "To be honest, I was just waiting! Waiting for you to be worn out, then I’ll attack and destroy your dantian, stealing the cultivation technique for myself!"
"You actually thought I was a good person? Should I call you naive or just dumb?" Kamden Nick raised an eyebrow.
I looked at Kamden Nick coldly and asked, "Do you really think you can kill me?"
Kamden Nick snorted, "If you were at full strength, I wouldn’t stand a chance. But now... you’re exhausted, nothing but a sitting duck."
I looked Kamden Nick up and down, smiling coldly, "Do you think I didn’t spot you?"
Kamden Nick frowned, confused, "What do you mean?"
I sneered, "Have you forgotten that I am the Master of Medicine God Pavilion?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I pulled out a handful of Pills and popped them into my mouth like candy.
