Chapter 467 - 431: Slaying a Late-Stage Cultivator Again, Dragon Shadow Star Casting
"Damn it, what do I do?"
The snake-faced middle-aged man was in a panic. Beneath his mask, his face was drained of all color.
He was a heretic cultivator, not some direct disciple from a major sect who had a top-tier Secret Technique like the North Peng Sky-dropping Skill up his sleeve!
Using conventional methods, it wasn’t impossible to break the Wind Prison, but the time it would take... was more than enough for Su Ye to catch up to him!
"I’ll risk it all!"
"Whatever trump cards I lose, that little bitch will have to pay me back for them!"
The snake-faced middle-aged man roared under his breath.
He only had one Divine Technique, which he had already activated.
But after years of burning, killing, and pillaging—of lawless profiteering—he naturally had a few trump cards up his sleeve to have avoided the long arm of the law for so long.
RIIIP!
A bulge appeared under the ribs of the snake-faced man’s black robe. The fabric suddenly tore, and a grayish-black beast’s claw shot out from the opening!
With a single swipe of the beast’s claw, the pillar of wind shattered and dissipated.
In an instant, dozens of wind pillars were all shattered!
’Good...’ The snake-faced man was overjoyed. He flew away at top speed, trying to escape the battlefield!
But at that moment, Su Ye let out a cold laugh and summoned his Moonfall Halberd!
Whale-Hunting Spear!
Against an opponent of the same realm, the Whale-Hunting Spear was remarkably effective!
The snake-faced man’s movements abruptly froze. By the time he came to his senses, the Gang Wind giant had already reached him!
RUMBLE!
A massive, azure hand, imbued with the power of countless Gang Winds, came crashing down!
Beneath the Gang Wind hand, empowered by the Divine Technique, the protective shield around the snake-faced man shattered in an instant. Next came his magical robes, his flesh, his bones...
SZZZZT!
Like a blender chopping fruit.
Blood exploded everywhere!
Far in the distance, the silver-masked woman who had escaped with her life was chilled to the bone.
In just a few short minutes, two Late-stage Golden Core cultivators had fallen one after the other... This Yehai was only at the early... ’Ugh, no, Mid-stage Golden Core?’
’But... a Mid-stage Golden Core killing Late-stage Golden Core cultivators like slaughtering chickens?!’
’What kind of monster is he?’
And at that moment, after killing the snake-faced man, Su Ye’s gaze turned toward her once more...
’It’s fine. I have the North Peng Sky-dropping Skill. He can’t kill me...’ The silver-masked woman felt a little relieved and was about to activate the Secret Technique to escape again.
However, Su Ye wasn’t about to let her escape so easily!
[Heart of the Vast Sea]
[Monarch of Calamity]
When these two Divine Techniques were activated together, they produced a derivative ability.
VMMMM!
The Sea of Deep Blue emerged.
Lines of energy intertwined, evolving into an icy, silver eye!
The Eyes of Eternal Union!
At the same time.
It seemed that compared to when he was in the Crystalization realm, Su Ye’s use of this move had produced a new variation.
His own eyes began to glow unconsciously, turning an icy silver. In the void behind him, a second Eye of Eternal Union appeared, forming a complete pair!
’Hmm?’
’There’s this kind of change, too?’
Su Ye’s mind stirred. ’What’s the reason for this?’
’Is it because my comprehension of the Annihilation Flow method has increased? Or because I advanced to the Mid-stage Golden Core? Or perhaps... the purification of my Magical Power’s quality?’
’Maybe it’s a combination of all of them?’
This pleasant surprise left Su Ye a little astonished.
But one man’s joy is another’s sorrow. Su Ye’s surprise was the worst possible news for the silver-masked woman.
HISS...
Her teeth chattered as a chill washed over her.
It felt as if her very soul was freezing.
A fine layer of white frost appeared on her body, rapidly enveloping her and turning into solid ice.
Even the pure white wings of her North Peng Sky-dropping Skill stiffened!
’Hmm?’
’How is this possible? It can actually affect my North Peng Sky-dropping Skill?’
’Someone who just entered the Mid-stage Golden Core should only have about twenty percent comprehension of the laws, right? Even for a Divine Technique, this is too...’ The silver-masked woman was stunned.
’It’s a Divinity Transformation Level Secret Technique! Even if I’ve only cultivated it to the second level, it shouldn’t be affected like this by a Mid-stage Golden Core’s Divine Technique, right?’
There was no time to think.
CHH!
Before her wings could stiffen completely, she forced them to beat, and her figure vanished once more.
A torrent of spatial turbulence appeared, and the silver-masked woman’s figure materialized four hundred li away...
’Good.’
’One more time. Based on this rate of corrosion and the consumption of Magical Power, I can still activate the North Peng Sky-dropping Skill one more time...’
The silver-masked woman thought to herself.
But suddenly...
A shadow fell over her body.
VMMMM!
A towering, jet-black hull broke through the Gang Wind and appeared right in front of her!
The Ghostly Flood Dragon!
Jiaojiao: "Hello."
BOOM!
The main cannon roared!
A surging pillar of scarlet light shot toward her, aimed right at her face!
It blasted the silver-masked woman’s body away like a broken ragdoll!
In the distance.
Su Ye shrugged.
’She’s fleeing blindly.’
’If she had made a void jump in any other direction, it wouldn’t have been so easy to intercept her... This woman’s luck has really hit rock bottom.’
Vmmm.
Beneath him, the Gang Wind giant’s time limit was up, and it gradually dissipated.
Su Ye didn’t mind, though. With a flicker of his body, he escaped into the netherworld!
Shadow Flash!
Su Ye planned to use a combo to finish her off for good!
This silver-masked woman clearly had a powerful background and might have other trump cards. To avoid having the tables turned on him, Su Ye didn’t dare be careless and went all out.
He would coordinate his attack with the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
He was determined to kill her in a single blow.
And at that moment!
"AHHH!!!"
The silver-masked woman let out a blood-curdling scream!
Surging blood-red flames turned the silver-masked woman’s body into a human torch, frantically burning away at her.
And as she screamed, the scorching blood-flames poured into her mouth, threatening to turn her lungs into a furnace!
At the same time, the chill from the Eyes of Eternal Union was still wreaking havoc inside her body.
A hell of ice and fire.
Such excruciating pain!
Combined with an ever-intensifying sense of crisis, an indescribable fear arose in her heart!
’If I don’t do something... I’m going to die!’
’No!’
’Absolutely not!’
The silver-masked woman’s eyes flew wide open, flashing with determination!
’Even if I have to expose my identity, I have no choice. I have a great future ahead of me. How can I die here?!’
’Seven Stars·Soul Transformation!’ she roared in her mind.
VMMMM!
As if tracing the Big Dipper, seven points on the silver-masked woman’s body lit up in sequence, shining brilliantly like seven great stars!
At the same time, these seven great stars detonated, instantly unleashing the power that had been accumulated in her star acupoints through a special method!
SHOOOM!
Like a strong gust of wind extinguishing all the candles in a room.
The burning blood-flames and solidified frost on the silver-masked woman’s body were instantly dispelled.
She stabilized herself.
Furthermore.
After activating the Seven-Star Soul Transformation, an overwhelming starlight burst from her body, causing the silver-masked woman’s Magical Power fluctuations to reach the level of Golden Core Perfection in an instant!
The starlight shone, illuminating the void.
Then.
’Star Forger: Dragon Shadow!’
ROAR!
The sound of a dragon’s cry echoed through the clouds.
The silver-masked woman threw a punch. The starlight around her converged, forming a dragon-shaped blast of energy that tore through the void and shot toward Su Ye, who had just appeared via Shadow Flash!
"Hmm?!"
In less than a thousandth of a second.
The roaring Dragon Shadow Star Casting collided with the Moonfall Halberd Tip.
Vmmm.
Time seemed to freeze for an instant.
Then, as if stars had collided, a blinding spiritual light erupted. An incomparably terrifying shockwave spread out from the point of explosion in all directions.
A thousand zhang away, the majestic hull of the Ghostly Flood Dragon was caught in the shockwave, swaying and shaking.
Within a ten-li radius, the sharp, azure Gang Wind vanished without a trace.
Vmmm.
The spiritual light faded.
Su Ye hovered in the air, his gaze profound.
Before him, the silver-masked woman’s figure had already vanished.
’Did she escape?’
Su Ye scanned his surroundings, then flew slowly back to the banquet hall of the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
"Mr. Yehai..."
"My lord..."
The crowd of cultivators turned their gazes toward him.
"It’s nothing."
"A few cowardly bandits. I have already killed them."
Su Ye said this casually. He picked up his wine glass with his left hand—the contents still warm—and drained it in one gulp.
"You are all dismissed."
Su Ye said faintly, then left the banquet hall and returned to the captain’s quarters.
The moment he was back in the captain’s quarters, his calm expression twitched. He withdrew the Magical Power maintaining his appearance, and the black robe covering the right half of his body immediately dissolved into shadow!
As for his arm, it was in a much more miserable state!
It was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, with muscles and bones torn and broken. It was nearly crushed to a pulp, twitching uncontrollably and radiating waves of excruciating pain.
Furthermore, a foreign energy was continuously tearing through his right arm, making it difficult for the wound to heal.
Hiss...
’It really hurts...’ A bead of cold sweat trickled down Su Ye’s forehead.
At that moment, a gentle white light appeared, healing him with [Reversing Destiny and Returning to Life]—not a full activation, but using its life force to heal, similar to how ’Shadow Flash’ works.
It was a subordinate ability based on the Divine Technique.
After a long while, Su Ye finished healing his wound and expelling the foreign energy. However, he would still need over a month of quiet rest to fully recover.
He sat on the bed and narrowed his eyes.
’Heh...’
’Dragon Shadow Star Casting...’
He recognized that move.
