Chapter 1128 – The Unbridled Spear and Heartbreaking Arrow (2/2)
If one only relied on their eyes, it was simply impossible to pin down his exact position.
This was the manifestation of one's Dao once one was thoroughly linked with the laws of the world.
He had only broken into the Saint Realm tonight, so he still did not have sufficient understanding of these laws, much less any mastery, but it was clear that he had already progressed a great deal.
This was the ability of a Divine Domain expert. Whether fighting or sleeping, they could deepen the understanding between them and the world.
The two flames at the top of the mountain were cold and serene.
A deep and indifferent voice emerged from the mountain.
”Purely in terms of the strength of your will to fight, you could be ranked in the top three from the last few centuries.”
Mountain Man Yanzhi seemed to know that Xiao Zhang still had the strength to fight, but he did not care.
Even though Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were also present, he still did not care.
He had a very indifferent attitude and was even in the mood to evaluate Xiao Zhang.
Given his experience, this sort of evaluation could be considered high praise.
Xiao Zhang seemed ungrateful. ”For a monster, you're rather talkative.”
The Demon race had always called themselves the Divine race, but they were not angry at being called demons. This was the reasoning behind the saying 'demon and god in one body'. However, they loathed being called monsters, because this term was easily associated with the Demi-human race, and in the long river of history, the Demi-human race had spent the majority of the time as slaves to the Demon race.
Mountain Man Yanzhi's eyes grew even colder, even more serene.
Xiao Zhang sneered, ”What? You're covered in stone from top to bottom, so you have to be a monster. Are you not convinced?”
Mountain Man Yanzhi said, ”I am a mountain man.”
Xiao Zhang laughed, ”Hahahaha! What mountain man? You're just an old monster in a black mountain!”
His scratchy laughter echoed over the grassland.
The laughter suddenly stopped.
Xiao Zhang thrust his spear.
The starlight spilling over the grassland looked just like the shallow waters of a stream.
As the spear thrust forward, this starlight suddenly moved, transforming into a cloth.
As the spear struck the mountain, the starlight followed, bursting apart into countless flecks of silver.
It was a display of breathtaking beauty, appearing like both fireworks and a flower blooming.
……
……
A silver flower suddenly bloomed in the darkness several li away.
Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong knew that this was the spear clashing with the mountain.
Soon after, a yellow dragon appeared over there, streaked with a hint of red, howling as it rose into the air.
The clash of these two powerful Qis caused all the gravel in the several li surrounding them to rise, dimming the starlight and making it difficult to see.
Mountain Man Yanzhi truly did have an unfathomable cultivation level. While dealing with the terrifying might of the spear, he had not forgotten to continue suppressing Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
The mountain range in the night sky suddenly pressed downward, the five finger-like mountains plunging straight into the South Stream Temple sword array.
The air was filled with grating screeches.
The swords hacked countless rocks off from the mountains. They rustled down and scattered into specks of light in midair.
The mountainous palm had gotten even closer to the ground.
The Wutong tree was now severely bent and could snap at any moment. Its green leaves were almost completely exhausted.
Xu Yourong had already prepared herself for this. With her habitual calm, she softly said, ”Go.”
In a flash of light, the Earth Monkey disappeared.
Chen Changsheng sent it back into the Garden of Zhou before gripping her hand.
A pair of pure white wings unfurled in the night breeze, blazing with golden flames.
A stream of light flowed through the grassland as two streaks of Phoenix flame pierced through the darkness.
A hole was punched in the screen of dust and grass formed by the fierce winds.
Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng appeared in front of Mountain Man Yanzhi.
Two sword glows appeared, dazzlingly bright, then they fused into a striking sword rainbow.
The spear appeared again, traveling together with the sword rainbow to strike the mountain in a supremely unbridled fashion, causing a most arrogant flower to appear in the darkness.
The ground quaked as an explosion reverberated through the world.
Countless stones shot out, tearing through the darkness like arrows. Countless beasts in a radius of several dozen li were smashed to death.
As the dust settled, Mountain Man Yanzhi's figure gradually appeared.
Two extremely deep scars had appeared in the center of the mountain. From the look of it, they seemed about a foot deep.
These two scars intersected so that they looked like that constellation familiar to all the demon nobles of Xuelao City, the Southern Cross.
Their place of intersection was even deeper, the hole it made very round and smooth, like an artisan had bored it out with a tool. It appeared to extend far into the mountain.
This was the mark left by the spear.
If this mountain was a person, the place where the swords intersected and the spear had left a hole was a person's chest. Just a little to the left was where the Ethereal Palace was located.
The unbridled spear and harmonious pair of swords had finally broken through Mountain Man Yanzhi's defense.
That place was Mountain Man Yanzhi's only flaw.
This had been calculated by Xu Yourong.
The question was, had the hole completely pierced through the mountain?
……
……
The grassland's surface was scored with holes, the black soil and grass mixed into an inseparable mess.
Xiao Zhang lay on the ground, the paper on his face soaked in blood, his eyes fixed on Mountain Man Yanzhi several dozen zhang away.
Chen Changsheng had also been severely wounded. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his face pale as he constantly coughed.
The holes in the paper were black and Xiao Zhang's eyes were also dark and deep. His voice was as hoarse as a broken bell.
”Damn, was this still not enough?”
Chen Changsheng sighed.
They had broken through the mountain, but they had failed to flatten it.
Xu Yourong stood up and once more drew her longbow.
Her face was very pale, and as she pulled on the bowstring, it paled even further, becoming as white as snow.
Her black hair drifted over her cheeks, contrasting so starkly that it frightened the soul.
A stream of blood spurted out of her mouth.
The spots of blood on her white robes looked like crumpled petals.
The Qi she exuded was even stronger.
The bowstring moved without a sound.
A small and delicate arrow flew through the darkness, silently shooting toward the mountain.
Without the smallest error, it shot into the hole.
There was a light pop like something had broken.
Xiao Zhang and Chen Changsheng felt a terrible pain in their chests.
Because they had heard that sound.
It was the sound of the heart breaking.
Xu Yourong's face was as white as a sheet of paper. Her body swayed as blood trickled down the corners of her lips.
Even she herself had been injured by that small and delicate arrow.
Mountain Man Yanzhi had naturally suffered the worst wound.
A howl of supreme pain and anger rose from the mountain.
