726 Mad Miao Cong (2/2)
”You attacked just right on time!” Cultivating what he did, Miao Cong's mind had long been taken over by lunacy. With a roar, he struck the copper stick in his hand downward with all the strength he could muster. The stick traveled at a speed faster than the speed of sound, tearing the airflow as it condensed its impact.
”Clang!”
Miao Cong flew, returning to his original spot. The spot in his hands where he held the copper stick was covered in blood, gushing from the split-open skin between his thumbs and index fingers. The muscles all over his body were torn and his injuries were extremely severe.
Meng Qi would certainly not give up his advantage now that he had gained the upper hand. He thrust Flowing Fire with his left hand and ignited a ”blazing sun”. He released sword lights one after another and enveloped Miao Cong in it. Simultaneously, the muscles on his back wriggled and grew two new arms. One held the Sword of the Mystic Turtle, the other the Saber of the Shattered Jade!
”Argh!” Miao Cong screamed maniacally as he once again consumed his lifespan. In a flash, there was barely any of his lifespan left and his breath rose dramatically to break through into the grandmaster level. His wounds were also quickly healed.
Meng Qi's pupils shrank in shock. ”He can decide for himself how much lifespan he has left?”
The long stick was placed horizontally. There seemed to be a tear in the void that condensed to form a vortex. The vortex absorbed the countless sword lights that Meng Qi unleashed, leaving only the jade-like sword body of Flowing Fire.
”Clang!” Meng Qi took a step backward. The serial attacks of the Sword of the Mystic Turtle and the Saber of the Shattered Jade were interrupted. Miao Cong smashed through yet another rock wall and buried the mound.
Miao Cong's strength was still rising as he depleted his lifespan. His yellowish brown breath turned into a layer of armor that enveloped him.
He flashed an evil grin at Meng Qi. ”The Second Order of the Earth Rank, with a lifespan that lasts as long as a wick of an oil lamp. Can you match up to me?”
His madness was beyond words!
Miao Cong once again smashed with his long stick in such a way that, were it not for the Law Phenomenon, Meng Qi would have nearly failed to catch onto the trajectory of its shadow. Meng Qi thrust Heaven Inflicted Pain upward to turn the firmament on its end. The brilliant burst of saber radiance cut through the darkness and split the Chaos open.
”Clang!” Just as the sound of collision reverberated, the stick came flying at Meng Qi. The sword in Meng Qi's left hand combusted into hundreds upon thousands of sword lights, formed layers of net, and extinguished the stick's Qi.
”Clang, clang, clang! Clank, clank, clank!”
Miao Cong kept attacking at a frantic pace, forcing Meng Qi to use weaponized four arms to fight him from the ground all the way to midair. Their fierce battle caused clouds of dust, heavy wind, torrential rain, and lightning!
”Clang, clang, clang, clang!” Miao Cong's speed, strength, and rhythm were genuinely that of an Eight-fold Heaven master. Meng Qi was only able to keep up mentally thanks to his secret cultivation prior. He had merged his bladesmanship, sword art, palm stroke, fist style, and the like into a single technique, and thus heightened his realm. It allowed him to make the correct respond once he detected an attack. His use of swords and sabers were all based on instinctive. Whether it was his Dharmakaya killing moves, Exterior-level movements, or combined assault of his swords and sabers, he always responded appropriately when the circumstances asked for it. If he had to think before he made each response, he might just falter under such a frantic and fearless offense. Even escaping might be a challenge!
”Kaboom!”
Meng Qi struck Miao Cong squarely with the Big Bang Technique, but the latter managed to use his copper stick to block Meng Qi's sabers and swords. Miao Cong ended up getting hurt on his left shoulder.
”Thump!” Both of them slammed into a hill respectively, destroying it. Fortunately, Meng Qi promptly activated ”Kunlun Taoist Robe” but he was sure that the stick had broken the bone in his left shoulder!
Even so, exhaustion was already creeping up on him after such an intense round of battle. The maintenance of the Law Phenomenon was close to its limit.
”Crash!” Miao Cong rose to his feet, sending crushed rocks flying in all directions. His burning lifespan was already its very limit but his breath had already surpassed the Eight-fold Heaven realm to reach the Nine-fold Heaven realm. For a moment, he was in the Peak of the Exterior realm!
”In the span of ten breaths, you will die if you fail to defend yourself. If I can't shatter your defense, then it will be my death!” Miao Cong was in a completely crazed state, making him a perfect match for his skill.
Meng Qi was clear-headed and at peace with himself. He suddenly threw himself at Miao Cong with a heavy saber momentum. Sword light bathed them all as an illusory Chaotic Hole and a miniature Grand Sun appeared. They collided with each other and caused glaring white light and terrifyingly high temperature to burst forth.
The burst of light filled Miao Cong's vision, causing his Eye Aperture to lose its effectiveness. The high temperature affected his Nose Aperture, physical sensation, and the like. Even so, he remained as majestic and fearless as ever. Once again, he fiercely slammed his long stick and tore the void apart. Countless deep and frightening cracks began forming in the void.
”Kaboom!”
Miao Cong's stick shattered the white light but when his vision recovered, he saw no sight of Meng Qi anywhere. Suddenly, an abrupt burst of saber radiance appeared before Miao Cong. Lightning gathered as it ambushed Miao Cong.
Meng Qi swung his saber at Miao Cong without hesitation. Then, he changed his direction and thrust his saber.
”If I can't defend myself, then I will go on the offensive!”
Qi Zhengyan was facing off with the two strange black-clothed men, who guarded the place like they were two boulders. Now and then, the men would integrate into one and their collective strength would rise to the Four or Five-fold Heaven realm. Then, they would separate and launch pincer attacks on Qi Zhengyan.
After exchanging several bows, an expressionless Qi Zhengyan threw a punch with his left hand. This punch produced countless shadows of his fist. Each shadow was a dark blue hue like ocean waves. The shadows were so dense that they felt tangible.
They converged to form a large integral whole, before turning into a boundless sea!
”Clang, clang, clang, clang!” The shadows proved challenging for the two black-clothed men to dodge. The surface of their bodies exploded continuously as they took repeated shadow punches from Qi Zhengyan. Their skins ended up looking like sieves.
Indigo Sea!
”Kaboom!” The explosions flung them away, slamming them into the mounds and terminating their breaths.
Just then, a shadow flitted behind Qi Zhengyan and thrust a fine sword through the center of his back!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Liu Yuntao stared at him apathetically. There was no emotion in her eyes whatsoever as if such assassinations had occurred hundreds, if not thousands, of times.
Yet, just as she was going to pull her sword out, she realized that it was impossible no matter how hard she tried. It was as if she did not stab Qi Zhengyan but the latter had her restrained instead!
Fear rose in her. She wanted to abandon her sword but she could not tear her hand away from the handle as if it was glued there.
Then, she heard a quiet sigh and saw the man in a fluttering green robe in front thrust his hand backward and send a palm stroke flying at her.
He did it without turning his head. The five fingers on his left hand were scorched black, but they were not the result of filthy darkness. Rather, it was the serene darkness of the night that was as smooth as jade.
Liu Yuntao felt like her gaze was being sucked into that palm and that her Vital Spirit had fallen into an infinite hell. She watched helplessly as the palm smacked her forehead.
