844 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff End (1/2)
These four pieces of God's Bones were already within his possession and had been nourished to this extent. No one could accuse him of anything if he opted not to hand them over, but he had to act nobly – perhaps it could be said that he wanted to play a mind trick. Instead, he had now trapped himself.
Supreme Cloud had handed over the God's Bones - and Supreme Cloud would lose his life by doing so.
What a delight!
Just a fleeting thought caused Mr. Nian to feel very much soothed.
Two more hours passed.
Mr. Nian felt that no matter how aggressively he launched his attacks, not only was the mystical Qi within him not expended, it continued to replenish itself to the brim. There was even a subtle feeling of his body being fully expanded to the point of exhaustion.
He who was utterly familiar with his physical state now knew that his meridians had reached their endurance limit.
If he were to conceal himself under this state and inject even more mystical Qi into himself incessantly, he would only pull the trigger to a self-explosion!
Fortunately, he need not do so. It was no longer necessary to disguise his capability now that it had reached such an extent.
Putting his thoughts into action, Mr. Nian howled.
”Supreme Cloud, your time has come!”
Yun Yang smiled faintly.
”Exactly the opposite. It should be your time that has come!”
A solid wash of ridicule colored Yun Yang's eyes.
”At this moment, I believe that you've already finished absorbing the energy in the God's Bones I've given you?”
Mr. Nian guffawed listening to the question. He was too full of himself currently that he failed to discern the strange note in Yun Yang's tone. Before the laughter resonated, Mr. Nian corrected his stance and with a drawn-out howl, white light erupted from him in five different directions as if countless swords were shining on him.
He raised his hand and a ball of violet energy rose from his fair palm.
The littering of wounds all over him due to the installation of God's Bones was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The gory cuts and hanging flesh had become supple skin in an instant.
”Grip three thousand miles of amethyst energy in the hands, hold twelve levels of heavens in the eyes!”
Mr. Nian laughed.
”This is the highest path of the martial way! This is the distinguishing factor between a deity and a mortal!”
”Even if I have to start anew in the end, I've come to this level. Anything after that is but a cumulative process. It's only a matter of time!”
”For you, Yun Yang, however, your life ends now. Hand it over!”
Despite his healing wounds, Mr. Nian was still in pain. Having finally turned the tables, he refused to entangle himself in the battle against Yun Yang any longer. It was better to kill his nemesis swiftly and reset his cultivation immediately after seeking a hidden spot.
Killing Supreme Cloud was always a cloud hovering over him, the matter that kept him awake at night. Now as Mr. Nian felt his divine art achieving perfection and his cultivation base improving by vast leaps and bounds, the task had become child's play to him.
It was insignificant.
Leaping, the ball of purple energy in Mr. Nian's hand turned into an amethyst sword.
”The heaven's sword – accomplishes every endeavor!” Mr. Nian drawled loudly, ”Supreme Cloud, no matter how incomparably sharp your saber is, it'll be useless against this heaven's sword!”
As he spoke, he moved to thrust the sword forward.
At this very moment, just in the nick of time, when Ji Lingxi was set to rush in front of Yun Yang' and take the attack for him, Yun Yang suddenly broke out in a guffaw. The Divine Edge in his grip disappeared and was replaced by a gigantic piece of lotus leaf!
