172 Chapter 172 Sword nourishing sword accumulating (1/2)

Although the sword energy had dissipated, the power of ice and fire, as well as purple lightning, still remained. It had directly opened up a several hundred feet long hole.

Not just the Ye Family sisters' eyes were attracted to the sword energy's origin point.

Even Chou Ling was startled, his mouth agape.

The strong and overbearing sword attack had destroyed everything in its path! Even the surrounding spiritual energy was totally wiped out, the spiraling sword light seems to have cut through both heaven and earth.

Chou Ling couldn't help but feel numb, goosebumps rising all over his body.

He didn't carefully watch the intense battle between Zong Shou and Yun Xu, though he did know that his vast and mighty sword attack was something even a Peak Martial Ancestor with six meridians at the Earth Chakra level couldn't face head on! It was truly unstoppable and unashamedly strong!

His eyes started twitching as a feeling of extreme danger surged into his heart. From the wind current covering the sky ahead of him appeared a cold glow, which instantly arrived in front of him. It was a Cloud Pattern Flying Knife, its cold glow shining brightly, seemingly indiscernible.

”...It's the Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword Intent!”

Almost right away Chou Ling had sensed the martial intent on the throwing knife.

Not bothering with the two girls in front of him that were about to fall into his hands, he retreated, frenziedly backing off by a distance of six hundred feet.

His eyes never left the tip of the knife from start to finish, trying his best to discern the trajectory of the illusionary knife. At last, his eyes widened, and he utilized his fingers to clip it. A throwing knife without a handle instantly appeared at his fingertips, though its momentum had not disappeared and it continued to shake.

Just when Chou Ling heaved a sigh of relief, the throwing knife suddenly exploded, breaking into a thousand pieces. Among which, one part of it pierced through his fingertips, suddenly increasing its speed by several times and heading right for his throat!

”...This is a hidden energy explosion?”

Chou Ling's face instantly turned ashen white, moving his head to the side at the crucial moment, barely avoiding the knife slitting his throat. The knife shrapnel still pierced through his left shoulder, drawing a thread of blood.

Even with his strong mental strength he couldn't help but take a deep cold breath.

What kind of cultivation technique did the Gantian Mountain Prince learn? Hiding energy within, and only allowing it to explode until a thousand feet later. Is there something wrong with him…?”

That's right, how could he so easily forget what happened that day in the forest?! Although the sword energy was hidden and activated by himself, it had been hidden for half a day.

He didn't have any more fighting spirit in his heart. He looked at the sky full of blood and flesh pieces in the distance with pity. His senior brother could be considered a vicious person, but he was also really smart. It was quite a shame for him to die here.

His eyes constricted as he saw something that instilled absolute fear into him. Zong Shou made the sword light in his hand disappear, a ball of green smoke rising from the back of his head.

It was compass-sized and wrapped with purple lightning. Even in the blazing afternoon heat, it showed no fear. The smoke seemed to encapsulate three talismans, grabbing the Lightning Tooth Sword and swiftly bringing it back.

”You are a spirit master of the Out of Body Realm? No...wait! Three Spiritual True Talismans, an extremely pure soul power, you're a spirit master of the Night Wandering Realm!”

He cursed continuously, his eyes on the verge of collapse. All he felt was despair, never having felt it spread so rampantly through his heart before.

He gave up on all thoughts of escaping. A spirit master's soul could roam numerous miles in a single breath, meaning it was far stronger than that of martial cultivators. Even if he wanted to run he might not be able to escape.

He immediately put on on a white silk glove. The energy around his body exploded out in that instant, charging into his limbs and meridians as all the pores in his body burst open.

Just as Zong Shou's soul rushed into the sky, Chou Ling roared, the energy and vital energy in his body soaring, gathering all his true qi and strength and punching toward the air.

He had no way out of this battle! Only by using all his energy could he have even a chance of surviving.

Zong Shou's soul didn't worry about the development, his mind still cold and determined. The vital energy charged forth, yet before it even got close it exploded into pieces due to the purple lightning. It still caused some slight harm to his soul though, spreading an igneous pain that should have caused some discomfort.

However, it didn't affect him at all as he was still cold as ice. When the sword light chopped down, it remained a giant spiral, still turning as it chopped downward!

Before when he fought Yun Xu his sword attack was just overbearing, but now it was destructive and suppressive! Total destruction!

Using his Xiantian body, even with an external pill, he couldn't exceed forty-five thousand kilograms of strength. However, at this moment using the soul to drive the sword meant he could use a full one hundred thousand kilograms of power!

Sword and fist collided, immediately resulting in a series of smashing sounds.

Chou Ling's hand was made of blood and flesh, though the silk gloves were something spiritual weapons found hard to damage. But in just ten clashes his bones broke, unnaturally twisting. The ice and fire qualities of the sword attack also instantly surged into him!

The sword attack appeared to be even more overbearing. The Ye Family sisters personally witnessed the spiraling sword image with ashen white faces as it cut Chou Ling's body into pieces ten times smaller than fingertips. The pieces flew all around, dyeing three hundred feet of snow blood red.

And the spiraling sword attack didn't stop there once it struck the ground. Another loud explosion occurred, and it seemed as though the entirety of heaven was shaking. Dust and sand flew up from the ground while pieces of broken ice shot up.
