Chapter 312 - Battling the Emissary (2/2)
Bang-!
The fierce collision produced energy shockwaves that swept out in all directions, riling up a wind storm across the world within the giant bell that caused their robes to flutter wildly.
The resultant energy undulations swept across the world within the giant bell as the two weapons collided, riling up a storm of wind that caused their robes to flutter wildly.
”Impossible…!” Zuomin Ta exclaimed in disbelief as his halberd was stopped dead in its tracks by the relatively fragile-looking Moon Culler.
Using a mere sword, the First Cycle Origin Core realm White Griffin actually blocked his full-power halberd strike?
How?!
That did not make any sense!
On the other hand, Lu Tianzi grinned.
The Palm of Thousand Venoms might not have worked well, but the Eternal Wraith Sword certainly did.
Since that was the case…
Lu Tianzi's left hand let go as well, allowing the Torrential Sabre to float freely.
Seeing this, Zuomin Ta was even more enraged.
”You are underestimating me a little too much!” Zuomin Ta swept out with his Origin Force, wrapping it around both the Moon Culler and the Torrential Sabre.
Since his opponent was foolish enough to let go of his weapons, he would gladly accept them as his own!
But the next moment, Zuomin Ta froze.
No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to wrestle the two weapons away from his opponent's control!
In fact, there wasn't even a contest.
The weapons simply did not even budge no matter how he tried to pull at them with his Origin Fore!
Ridiculous… was his opponent really just a First Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist?
How could his control over Origin Force be this strong?!
Lu Tianzi naturally noticed what Zuomin Ta was trying to do, and could only laugh in his heart.
If it was about their control over Origin Force, Lu Tianzi would indeed not have much confidence when facing this Third Cycle Origin Core realm opponent.
However, the Eternal Wraith Sword worked differently from mere Origin Force control.
The Eternal Wraith Sword worked on the basis of establishing a connection with his sword to grant him complete control over it.
This so-called control went beyond mere manipulation by touch. This was about control on a mental level, allowing him to freely control the movements of his sword with a single thought.
In comparison to forcefully moving the sword with Origin Force, it was on a whole other level.
Right from the start, there was simply no chance that his opponent could have wrestled control of his weapons away from him!
Pu-!
Before Zuomin Ta could even recover from his shock, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
”This…” Zuomin Ta immediately linked his condition back to Lu Tianzi's earlier palm strike. ”I knew you were lying. You are a poison master after all!”
”I wasn't one, but I guess I am now,” Lu Tianzi blinked blankly.
So the Palm of Thousand Venoms did have an effect on his opponent, just that the effect was not as instantaneous as when Lord Er executed it.
To reach Lord Er's level, it seemed that he still had a long road ahead of him!
”Damn you. Even at this point, you are still denying?” Zuomin Ta cursed. ”So be it then, the truth is no longer important. All that matters now is for you to meet your end!”
After saying his piece, Zuomin Ta drove his origin core to the limit, channelling every last bit of his Essence energy into his halberd. This time, the two raven bracelets on his wrists glowed brightly as well, and the illusory wings behind him extended out in an intimidating manner.
With the vast momentum gathered, Zuomin Ta raised his halberd and swung down with all his might.
Just like before, the halberd instantly grew in size, turning into a giant weapon that threatened to crush Lu Tianzi into oblivion.
This time, the pressure exuded by his attack was far greater than before. Even Lu Tianzi could not help but be amazed at the sudden increase in power level.
In response, Lu Tianzi pointed towards the halberd. Both the Moon Culler and the Torrential Sabre immediately moved into action.
At the same time, Lu Tianzi drew out the Star Reaper Spear from within his spatial ring. With the spear in hand, Lu Tianzi shot up from the ground, heading straight towards Zuomin Ta without the slightest hesitation.
Rising Serpent Splitting the Heavens!
Lu Tianzi might not be as adept with the spear as he was with the sword and sabre, but this was a unique combat technique that would grow stronger as the angle of the attack grew higher.
Now that Zuomin Ta was directly above him, the strength of this technique would be amplified by multiple folds, making it the ideal opportunity to use it!
Bang-!
Sword, sabre, and spear struck the halberd all at once. Compared to the earlier exchange, this collision was far stronger, and the resulting shockwaves far fiercer.
But at the end of it, even the mighty halberd strike from Zuomin Ta was sent straight back to where it came from.
”Wha-?!” Zuomin Ta's stance was blown right open by the collision.
He did not even have time to curse this time.
While the Torrential Sabre and Moon Culler crossed and held up his halberd, stopping Zuomin Ta from bring it back down, Lu Tianzi seized this opening and thrust out the Star Reaper Spear, piercing it straight towards Zuomin Ta's chest.
Stab-!
Blood spurt out like a fountain as the Star Reaper Spear tunnelled straight through Zuomin Ta's chest, its speartip emerging from behind his back.
”Y-You… who are you exactly?” Zuomin Ta struggled to speak through the blood that had welled up in his throat.
His trembling hands involuntarily let go of his halberd, allowing it to fall to the ground with a loud thud.
”I've already told you many times before,” Lu Tianzi sighed. ”But as you said, the truth is no longer important. All that matters now is for you to meet your end.”
