Chapter 67 - Cut Off The Arm (1/2)
Li Yi’s face was gloomy as he threw out his fists in great fury, streams of ice energy dispersing the sword qi that streaked across the air. “Even if you can unseal two third-grade mystic weapons at the same time, there is a gap of two realms between you and me! Let’s see how you are going to cross it!” He cried out angrily.
“Two realms?” Yunxiao scoffed, “I may still have some fear if you are a Martial Lord. A mere Great Martial Master? Old Eight, look into my eyes!”
Startled, Li Yi looked reflexively into Yunxiao’s eyes. He immediately saw two demonic-looking, blood-red crescent moons, surrounded by endless darkness like a bottomless abyss of demons.
Yunxiao’s face was cold as he said softly, “Universal Soul Suppressor—Demon Moon!”
“AHHH!”
Li Yi only felt that his mind was lost instantly. With his face turning blank and his hands hung listlessly, he stood there like an idiot.
“Good, very good! Now, you just stand there obediently and let me stab you twice with my swords.”
Yunxiao’s face became a little ferocious while his eyes glowed evilly, and the veins on his forehead bulged as beads of sweats rolled off his cheeks. Obviously, casting this eye technique was too demanding for him!
He raised the Taiyin sword gently and then slashed it down fiercely!
“Watch out, junior brother!”
In the distance, Guang Yuanjia noticed that the situation was not right, and he immediately let out an anxious roar. His voice was infused with energy, so it rang out like a bell and shook the hearts of those who heard it.
Li Yi shuddered and woke up instantly, horrified to find that the sword was only three inches from the tip of his nose. He could not avoid it!
“Ahh!”
In desperation, his potential shot up. At this critical juncture, he forcibly moved several inches to the side! In the next moment, the sword fell and cut off his left arm! A great pain washed up his shoulder, making him bare his teeth and break out in a cold sweat.
Yunxiao shook his head slightly. He knew that since he had failed to kill Li Yi this time, he would not be able to do it again even if he went on fighting. Therefore, he simply stepped back and stared at Li Yi coldly with the sword in his arms.
The soul attack technique he just cast was called ‘Universal Soul Suppressor’. It was a very powerful divine ability that could only be cast by people with strong souls. It consumed a lot of soul power, no less than a high-intensity refinement session.
In addition to their strength, each of those peak-level Martial Sovereigns at the top of the Heaven and Earth Power Chart had an extremely powerful advantage that made their opponents unable to keep pace with. For example, Tyrant Martial Sovereign’s imperishable golden body and his previous incarnation, and Gu Feiyang’s ninth-tier soul power. This ‘Universal Soul Suppressor’ was a kind of divine ability that directly attacked the soul. With his ninth-tier soul power in his previous life, even Martial Sovereigns of the Nine Heavens realm did not dare to look him in the eye.
Therefore, with his current soul power of a second-tier alchemist, he could make an unprepared Great Martial Master lose his mind for a short time. However, after failing for the first time, he was unable to cast it for the second time, and Li Yi was already on his guard.
Nevertheless, Li Yi did not know Yunxiao’s current situation. After his left arm was cut off, he was utterly horrified, and the feeling of being completely controlled by someone else just now had thoroughly chilled his heart. “Senior brothers, let’s retreat for now!” he cried out in a hurry.
Guang Yuanjia and Yu Yuanwen had been pestered by Ji Meng. The more they fought, the angrier they became. Although they had the upper hand under their joint forces, Ji Meng’s desperate fighting style, coupled with his unpredictable sword technique, still gave them a great headache.
Now, after seeing Li Yi not only lose the sword given to him by their master but also an arm, the two of them had no more desire to fight. After forcing back Ji Meng with one strike, they immediately retreated to Li Yi’s side, grabbed him from left and right, and then leaped into the air to flee.
Ji Meng was about to pursue but Yunxiao stopped him. “Don’t worry about these three now. Get rid of their minions.”
As soon as the enemy Martial Masters saw that their leaders had fled, they immediately lost their fighting spirit. They retreated as they fought, trying to find a chance to escape the battlefield. However, the State Guardians responsible for protecting Yunxiao had long been furious because of their heavy casualties. They would not let these enemies escape so easily!
Yunxiao watched the slaughter coldly. His face was expressionless as if he was staring blankly, but his heart was filled with surprise.
He clearly felt that the Great Expansion Divine Technique, which was almost impossible to take shape, was able to barely appear in the Divine Realm Tablet after he cast the eye technique once and suffered a great loss of his soul power.
Sure enough, this Divine Realm Tablet was a divine artifact that surpassed the super-grade mystic weapons!
There must be some power in the tablet that could support the manifestation of the Great Expansion Divine Technique. Yunxiao sent his divine sense into the tablet and read the little gold characters in silence. With that, he immediately felt a strange power emerging between the lines that began to flow through the tablet into his body, then gather in the spiritual altar in his mind, nourishing his soul like a stream of clear spring.
The feeling of nourishment was more comfortable and refreshing than any medicinal pills he knew.
