Chapter 731 – Buried in the Sea of Sand
An Zheng acquired three mysterious books, one of which was the [Jade Void Eastern Travelling Technique]. The value of this book was that while An Zheng was travelling east, in the Jinling, no one saw any flaws in the core of the Dao Sect.
The second book was [Heavenly Passing Demon Beast Break]. This book recorded a lot of information about the battle between the disciples of Hollow Jade Temple and the ancient demon beasts. It basically encompassed most of the ancient demon beasts, and today, these demon beasts had all become Summoning the Spiritual World’s summoner.
The third book, [Mountain Sea Nerve], recorded most of the ancient demon beasts’ habits, places to live, origins, and abilities. If An Zheng were to combine the [Heavenly Passage] and the [Mountain Sea Nerve] to see, it would be very useful to him in his future battles with the Summoning the Spiritual World and the other demon beasts.
That was why An Zheng was able to recognize the Eagle Horse at first glance. It was an extremely terrifying beast. It was recorded in the Mountain Sea Nerve that wherever Eagle Horse appeared, there would definitely be a severe drought. The Northwest Region was already exhausted, and they needed the Da Xi family to transfer a large amount of food from the Central Plains in order to guarantee this. If he relied on the self-sufficiency of the Northwest Region, he wouldn’t even be able to solve his problem of getting food and clothing.
If the Eagle Horse were not eliminated, the desert in the Northwest Region would proliferate. Not only would the fertile land turn into desert, even the roads would be destroyed. This was not sensationalism, but something that was extremely likely to happen.
Large tracts of land turned into a desert. The roads were being devoured, and it didn’t take long for food and materials to arrive. Three months later, the northwest region would become a living hell. Who knew how many people would starve to death and how many would flee?
And in the Eagle Horse’s absolute domain, the desert was his power.
An Zheng closed his right eye, and the three blue star point s in his left eye flew around faster and faster. Because he shattered the gigantic hand of sand in front of him with a single strike, An Zheng had exposed his position.
The Eagle Horse sneered: “You are very strong, but regretfully, you are finished.”
His hands continuously waved about, and in the middle of the desert, more and more Giant Sand Hands smashed towards An Zheng. An Zheng’s body moved as fast as lightning, constantly moving and dodging in the desert. The giant hand of sand slammed down on his body. If his reaction speed had been slightly slower, he would have been trapped by the giant hand of sand. Other than that, there were countless sand serpents that were formed from sand that pounced towards An Zheng. They were even more terrifying than the Sand Giant Hand.
With a bang, An Zheng smashed the sand python’s head that was coming at him apart witunch, then his legs tightened. The other sand python’s body had wrapped itself around An Zheng’s ankle. An Zheng felt that the strength at his ankles were becoming more and more powerful, as if countless needles were stabbing into his body at the same time.
Lightning flashed, purple lightning coiled around An Zheng’s feet, and directly smashed the sand python to pieces.
In this world, the five elements were at odds with each other, but it was not absolute. The cultivator who was good at using water attribute techniques before when fighting the Eagle Horse was helpless in front of it, but that did not mean that water attribute techniques and physiques could not defeat the Eagle Horse. For example, if he could reach the Lower Celestial Stage, he could still suppress it.
“I want to see how long you can last.”
The Eagle Horse’s hands fiercely slapped down, and with a bang, two sand walls billowed on both sides of An Zheng’s body like enormous waves. He was dozens of meters tall, and its thickness could not be seen. Two sand walls heavily collided together, smashing An Zheng within.
The Eagle Horse clenched its fists and twisted back and forth a few times.
The sand tightened and tightened likython. Not to mention being inside, even seeing this scene caused one to subconsciously feel chills. The countless strands of sand twisted back and forth, shrinking from the original four or five meters diameter to only two or three meters diameter. Inside, there was a living person, and the intensity of this contraction was enough to turn a person into powder.
The Eagle Horse walked out from the sandstorm and looked at the sand python with its yellow eyes that were twisting around and around, “It’s just so-so, but the evaluation that the Monarch has towards you is too high. Now I know, the reason Hua She and Qiong Qi died in your hands isn’t because you’re really that strong, but because they’re too stupid. Qiong Qi had always said that he was one of the four great vicious beasts and that he was nobler than us, but he still needed me to avenge him. As for Hua She... ”
The Eagle Horse snorted: “If it doesn’t die, then why does it seem like I’m stronger.”
The Eagle Horse walked to the side of the pythons. With a wave of its hand, the pythons began to loosen up and swim to other places one by one. When the sand fell, the Eagle Horse waited to see the broken parts of the corpse.
“So what if you have reverse scale?”
The Eagle Horse kicked away the last pile of sand and ridiculed: “I told you before, the so called legend of the Holy Fish is only a joke …”
Beneath the grave-like sand dune, An Zheng’s body was not present. Not even a drop of blood, let alone a corpse. The Eagle Horse saw a small ball of sand roll up and a purple thing came out from it.
The Eagle Horse’s face suddenly changed, and her figure explosively retreated, however, it was already too late. That’s the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns … Boom! An attack of the level of forbidden martial arts exploded at such a close distance. No one could escape unscathed.
The violent explosion even dispersed the dust storm, and the dark, dark space finally turned bright and clear. The powerful explosion was enough to cut apart a mountain peak and raze a small town to the ground.
When the Eagle Horse sensed that it was in danger, it used its hind legs continuously and extended its two hands to protect itself. Sand walls after sand wall appeared behind him, but they were all broken by the power of the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns. He retreated quickly, but the explosion from the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns spread even faster.
After a boom, the Eagle Horse laid dozens of sand walls, but were still unable to stop the might of the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns.
[Sand Crystal Iron]!
The Eagle Horse roared. The moment he felt the power of the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns had already touched his body, he was actually able to escape from the pursuer’s back as though he was shedding his shell. A gash had appeared on his back, and he crawled out like a molt to continue his retreat. The remaining layer of his skin had turned a dark brown, the color of the strongest rock.
In the surrounding sand, a similar dark brown substance was purified and injected into the layer of skin. A black Eagle Horse that looked like it was made of metal stood there, suddenly grew bigger, and extended its arms to block the strike of the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns exploded onto the black brown giant’s chest, directly blowing his chest apart. However, this Sand Crystal Iron had actually stopped the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns. Dozens of things that couldn’t be accomplished by the sand wall were blocked by this superb talent. The black steel-like giant swayed a few times and then collapsed with a loud bang, causing the waves of sand to churn.
The Eagle Horse felt cold sweat on its back, this was the first time it felt like it was so close to death.
Even after so many attempts, the sand wall was still unable to stop the terrifying power. Even though he felt that he had experienced many terrifying heavenly powers, he was still afraid this time. He was truly afraid.
The most terrifying thing was, even with his absolute defense of Sand Crystal Iron, it could not withstand An Lun’s attack.
The so-called absolute defense he showed off to An Zheng before, was this Sand Crystal Iron. Even the beasts in the Summoning the Spiritual World that were famous for their offensive power had no meaning against his Sand Crystal Iron. Including Qiong Qi … Previously, the Qiong Qi easily destroyed Hua She’s water cage technique and injured him. However, when faced with his Sand Crystal Iron, he could only sigh.
Even his most revered Monarch had once said in public that the Sand Crystal Iron was something that the heavens could not break.
Heavenly might?
“Now you know, I didn’t kill your companions because they were weaker than you, but because I was too strong.”
The voice came from behind the Eagle Horse, and in that instant, the Eagle Horse even felt like it had entered hell. He was too close and did not make a sound so he did not even notice An Zheng appearing behind him.
When the voice came out, the Eagle Horse immediately turned around and fiercely retreated with both hands. From the center of its palm, two sand cones as sharp as blades pierced straight out. But there was nothing behind him. Nothing.
Peng!
The moment he turned around to attack, An Zheng appeared on the other side. Standing behind him, An Zheng smashed his fist onto the Eagle Horse’s waist. That fist had an incomparable ball of purple lightning lingering around it, making a sizzling sound as if it was resonating inside the Eagle Horse’s brain. The purple lightning pierced through the Eagle Horse’s body. An Zheng used one arm to lift the Eagle Horse up, and then fiercely clenched his fist.
The fist was tightly clenched inside the Eagle Horse’s body. In that instant, with a bang, countless purple electric currents shot out from the Eagle Horse’s body. The purple lightning was like a dragon, striking the Eagle Horse’s body and riddling it with thousands of holes.
The Eagle Horse let out a blood-curdling screech, and sand flowed down from the wounds on its body.
With a bang, the Eagle Horse’s body separated, and a few black as ink snakes drilled into the desert. An Zheng coldly snorted, and both his hands fiercely pressed onto the ground.
[Thunder Clap]!
Countless bolts of purple lightning fell from the sky, instantly covering a radius of several hundred meters. Three small black snakes were forced out of the desert by the electric current, fleeing in panic. An Zheng took a big stride forward, and at the same time, threw the Broken Army Sword back. He grabbed onto a small black snake with one hand and with a flash of purple electricity, the small snake twisted its body violently. A few seconds later, it turned into black ashes and fell from An Zheng’s hands. As for the other black snake, it was nailed to the ground by a Broken Army Sword and was still wagging its tail.
Just as the third little black snake was about to hide back into the desert, the three spinning blue star point s in An Zheng’s left eye suddenly stopped. The body of the little black snake suddenly stiffened. It was as if it had been turned into a stone and couldn’t move at all.
The art of binding gold at home.
An Zheng walked over, raised his leg, and trampled the little black snake to death.
He turned around and looked at his surroundings. There was doubt in his eyes. He knew that the Eagle Horse would definitely not kill it so easily. Although it couldn’t be compared in terms of level, this thing was not only strong in defense, but also had the ability to escape.
Maybe because the Eagle Horse’s Qi around were too weak, An Zheng did not sense it.
The hurricane dispersed and the dust and sand that filled the sky slowly fell down. The sky gradually cleared up and became a field of light. When the cultivators around them saw An Zheng, they immediately cheered.
Those cultivators had joined forces to block the spread of the desert. An Zheng noticed that these cultivators could be considered to be doing their best. All kinds of cultivation techniques and powers combined to surround the desert for more than a thousand meters, but they didn’t continue to spread.
Two cultivators ran over, and looked at An Zheng with deep concern: “Are you alright? The desert has already been blocked by us.”
An Zheng smiled appreciatively: “I’m fine.”
“What about that demon beast? Did you kill him? ”
An Zheng shook his head: “I don’t think so. It’s very strong and cunning.”
When they heard that the demonic beast wasn’t killed, a shadow loomed over everyone’s hearts. In just a short moment, a round desert with a diameter of ovehousand meters appeared. This Eagle Horse did not seem like it was here to kill people, but to demonstrate its might. If it did not die, it would not show itself on purpose and would instead create a desert somewhere else. Perhaps before long, the entire northwest would fall into a state of panic.
No one noticed that an extremely tiny sand ant had crawled out of the crowd. When it reached the back of the crowd, a pair of wings sprouted from its back. It vibrated a few times before flying into the distance.
Tens of kilometers away, the sand ant finally arrived at its destination.
The Eagle Horse sat cross-legged beneath a large tree. Reaching out his hand, the sand ant immediately fell into his palm and disappeared.
“This is just the beginning, but I have already seen through all of your abilities.”
The Eagle Horse stood up, turned around and said, “The next time, you will be buried in the sea of sand.”
