Chapter 194 - Put Him Down... (1/2)

Shui Zian's body was marred with bloodstains but he still moved as swiftly as ever. Powerful water currents flowed under him as if there were a huge river under him, lifting him up and ramming about everywhere like huge dragons as Shui Zian tried to escape from the encirclement of his three foes.

He was old and he was not as strong as he used to be. After enduring this protracted battle for three long days, he had lost quite an amount of energy and stamina. With the addition of the injuries on his body, he eventually suffered some difficulties during the battle.

If he was still at the prime of his life, he might not have even felt tired. After all, he was a member of the Shui Tu Clan, a clan renowned for their durability in battles as a result of the unique techniques and arts they practiced.

"Shui Zian, you are indeed very powerful, being able to withstand our joint attacks up until now. What a shame, you're no longer the same as your were when you were younger."

An old lady provoked Shui Zian as she swung her Bright Moon Mirror, launching Sword Qi that clashed non-stop with the [Sword Sixty-Four Styles] and she said again, "We used three days to exhaust you so that we could kill you without worrying about you being able to retaliate before you die. Now now, since you are already exhausted, it's time for us to harvest your life!"

In mid-air, the [Sword Sixty-Four Styles] moved like countless dragons and as it spread out its Sword Qi, it set up a defensive grid line that was nigh impenetrable.

On the other side, the black robe was also a type of powerful soul weapon possessed by Xiao Yin, crafted over an entire life's worth of effort.

It flew in the air erratically and without pattern, landing on Xiao Yin's shoulder intermittently to protect him, allowing him to jump into the [Sword Sixty-Four Styles] or even cover the Sword Qi in it before melting them into ashes.

Then, another Qi Practitioner shook the huge ray net in the air, launching Sword Qi in the form of strings that shattered everything in its path.

Shui Zian could go up against any one of them without fear, but under their combined power, in addition to the powerful soul weapons, Shui Zian was experiencing tremendous pressure under such circumstances.

Fortunately, the three of them were quite attached to their lives and wellbeing and so they opted to gradually exhaust Shui Zian's energy and stamina first, allowing the damage from his previous injuries to gradually reap his life. This would spare them the risk of directly killing him so as to ensure their safety.

But now, with his energy and stamina fully depleted, it was time for them to kill him!

"Shui Zian, die!"

The three of them jumped up and Xiao Yin wore the black robe back and he waved his hands as he charged into the [Sword Sixty-Four Styles] . As he waved his hands, the sleeves of the robe became bigger and rounder before absorbing the Sword Qis into the sleeves.

As Shui Zian wanted to detonate the Sword Qis being absorbed into Xiao Yin's sleeves, Xiao Qin and Xiao Yuan shouted, forming their Yuan Shen, the coiling Aos. They roared and emitted tremendous sound waves that shot towards Shui Zian!

[Celestial Moon Howling Art] !

Shui Zian got hit and he was knocked backward, coughing out blood immediately as the strong water current under his legs stopped flowing and dropped onto the ground. Before he had yet to recover his balance, Xiao Yin neutralized Shui Zian's Sword Qi and quickly closed the distance with him and pressed his palms onto his chest.

Boom——

Shui Zian's chest immediately sunk and his rib cage broke. At the same time, the mirror soul weapon in Xiao Yuan's hands launched out Sword Qis that breached the defensive grid line of the [Sixty-Four Sword Style] and shot towards Shui Zian!

At Shui Zian's back, the River God, He Bo appeared and formed layers of water lotuses that protectively surrounded Shui Zian while He Bo waved his arms, fending off the Xiao Yuan's Sword Qi.

Xiao Yuan roared and she got close to He Bo, turning into a huge Ao before she opening her jaws and biting towards He Bo and the water lotuses.

He Bo reached out his hands and the water lotuses flew into his hands with Shui Zian in it as He Bo quickly back off. However, as soon as He Bo backed off, the huge net in the sky appeared again and trapped He Bo along with the water lotuses in it. Then, one after another, light rays shot out from the net and perforated the He Bo Yuan Shen!

Hu——

The water lotuses expanded quickly and they broke open the net while He Bo carried Shui Zian in his hands as they rushed out from the huge net. Then, the huge Ao that Xiao Yuan became rammed into He Bo and almost caused He Bo to disperse while inflicting even more serious injuries to Shui Zian.

Xiao Yin removed his black robe and he threw it towards He Bo and Shui Zian, covering them in the shadow of the black robe.

As the He Bo Yuan Shen touched the ground, and upon seeing no hopes of escaping the coverage of the huge net, he turned into water that gushed towards the surroundings while hiding Shui Zian under the water.

"Trying to escape?"

Xiao Qing summoned back her huge net and she spread it out in all directions while Xiao Que and Xiao Yuan guarded the two ends of the safe passage while waiting for Shui Zian to reveal himself.

Suddenly, the huge ray net lit up and blue-colored rays shot out and hit one lotus, causing it to expand. This in turn, opened up a hole in the net out of which water continually gushed out.

"Not trying to escape from the safe passage?"

The three of them were slightly stunned as they knew that the direction Shui Zian was running towards was the path back into the Divine Battlefield!

"With those heavy injuries, he is dead for sure. Should we still continue our pursuit?"

Xiao Qing retracted her huge net and she said with a frown, "The Divine Battlefield has only one safe passage out. Every other passage would lead only to a dead end with no chance for survival. Even with the three of us, we would only be able to guarantee our own safety if we entered ... he is dead for sure."

Xiao Yuan then said, "Dangers lurk all over the Divine Battlefield and even during his prime, he would die to the dangers if he entered the other passages. This is not to mention that he is on the cusp of death right now! There is no need for us to take the risk!"

Xiao Yin nodded and replied, "That's right. We could only ensure our own lives even if we entered the other passages in Divine Battlefield together. He's just one man who is on his last legs before his fires of life are completely extinguished."

At the same time, a voice could be heard saying, "My three dear priests, Shui Zian is a wise and careful man. It is hard to be at ease if we do not see his body."

A slender shadow could then be seen emerging from the ground before splitting into three heads.
