I Can Strengthen Infinitely

"Sour-faced Monkey, hand over the item honestly, and I may spare your life." Soul Chaser stood and commanded.

The three of them simultaneously, with extreme coordination, formed a triangle around Sour-faced Monkey, leaving no chance for him to escape.

Three Grandmasters against one Grandmaster - this was undoubtedly a perilous situation.

Sour-faced Monkey felt secretly bitter, but he had no other options left.

"Enough talk, if you have the guts, come and take it yourselves. I fear three of you might not even be enough by the end." Sour-faced Monkey reached to his waist, and a long whip appeared in his hand.

In the martial world, those skilled in Whip Skill are few, as Whip Skill is ruthless and tricky. Without years of hard practice, it’s hard to match the effect of swords and blades. Sometimes a whip strike on someone might only cause light injuries, but a sword or blade cut could be fatal.

Sour-faced Monkey swung the long whip, and it instantly became lively, like a dragon from the sea brain.

Bang!

In that instant, the whip fiercely lashed towards Soul Chaser.

Soul Chaser swung his long sword, clashing directly with the whip, but Sour-faced Monkey’s whip twisted instantly, changing direction mid-attack, skillfully whipping Soul Chaser’s arm, leaving a long mark on his clothing. Fortunately, the Grandmaster’s protective Inner Strength was strong; the whip only damaged the clothes.

"Stubborn." Soul Chaser’s face darkened, and immediately his long sword shook. Eighteen lines of Sword Qi whistled out, like a rainbow piercing the sun, encompassing Sour-faced Monkey entirely.

Sour-faced Monkey’s protective Inner Strength formed an invisible wall, attempting to block all of Soul Chaser’s sword moves.

The Sword Qi penetrated Sour-faced Monkey’s protective Inner Strength but didn’t immediately pierce through, advancing several inches forward before being halted, unable to move further.

From individual power perspectives, Soul Chaser could indeed do nothing to Sour-faced Monkey alone.

But at this moment, Soul Chaser was not coming alone.

Sword Qi came attacking again from two other directions. It was Life-taking and Soul Lock acting, the pressure multiplying with all three acting together, making Sour-faced Monkey’s face instantly turn grim.

His protective Inner Strength was far from enough to withstand simultaneous attacks from three Grandmasters, directly breaking through without resistance.

Soul Chaser sneered, seizing the opportunity to strike while he’s down, waving the long sword in hand like thousands of flowers dancing, with softness mixed with tricks, transforming endlessly, murderous intent floating.

"Yellow Springs Sword Manual!" Lines of Sword Qi suddenly transformed into flowing water, amid which faces of sorrow appeared, along with Yellow Springs Demon Flowers.

This is an extremely sinister Sword Technique. Sour-faced Monkey sensed immediately upon contact that Soul Chaser was using Divine Skill without a doubt.

The day Sour-faced Monkey ventured deep into Lanhai Dragon City, his power was naturally extraordinary, unlike ordinary Grandmasters. Seeing Soul Chaser strike with Divine Skill Sword Technique, he immediately grasped the whip handle with both hands, rapidly stirring it. Instantly, the whip turned into a sea-rousing dragon, with a deep blue dragon shadow appearing vividly on the whip.

"Dragon Palace Eight-Linked Whip!"

Sour-faced Monkey’s Whip Skill was equally extraordinary. Whistling along, the dragon shadow emerged, summoning storms, crashing headlong towards Soul Chaser.

Since it’s known as the Eight-Linked Whip, as expected, one whip transformed into eight whips, with eight dragon shadows rotating, exceptionally grandiose. In an instant, both Life-taking and Soul Lock were also targeted by Sour-faced Monkey.

At this moment, he was fighting one against three, putting forth his full effort.

Soul Chaser and the other two brought their long swords horizontally before their faces, their Inner Strength surged out, each forming a wall of Inner Strength to block Sour-faced Monkey’s attack.

While four were fighting, a sandstorm in the distance was coming closer and closer.

However, none of the four showed any intention of caring, with Soul Chaser and the other two focused solely on killing Sour-faced Monkey to seize the Sacred Artifact, and Sour-faced Monkey knowing well that fighting three was difficult, his last hope lay in the approaching sandstorm.

Using natural disasters to fend off Grandmasters.

The power of the Dragon Palace Eight-Linked Whip was remarkable, holding its ground against the three multiple moves before showing signs of defeat. After all, Sour-faced Monkey was merely a Grandmaster of the Five Qi Chao Yuan Realm.

"Stubborn." Soul Chaser took a whip to his long sword, causing the entire blade to tremble, but as he infused Inner Strength, the sword stabilized instantly, ringing as eyes opened on the blade, emitting a heavy aura.

Sour-faced Monkey hadn’t touched it yet but could clearly sense this sword was no ordinary strike, assuredly a thunderous blow from the enemy.

Boom! Boom!! Boom!

The distant noise grew nearer, louder, and vast, with two narrow-bottomed, wide-topped sand tornadoes sweeping forth.

"Netherworld Tears Demonic Sword." Soul Chaser responded with a swift sword strike.

Swoosh!

In an instant, the sky darkened, and Sour-faced Monkey felt a sharp force heading straight for his throat, seemingly accompanied by ghosts and gods illusion, soul-stealing.

This sword was Soul Chaser’s ace up the sleeve.

Sour-faced Monkey’s face turned grave, knowing that if he defended against this sword with full power, he’d expose his back to the remaining two Xiao family brothers, and even if he blocked Soul Chaser’s sword, the outcome would likely be grim.

At this urgent moment, inspiration suddenly struck Sour-faced Monkey, his eyes lit up.

He reached behind and retrieved the Sacred Artifact from Lanhai Dragon City, appearing in his hand.

Clang!

With the collision of the Sacred Artifact against Soul Chaser’s sword, as Sacred Wheel Realm’s artifact, it was the hardest object in the world, unable to be broken by Soul Chaser’s exceptional sword strike.

Seizing this opportunity, Grim-faced Monkey immediately swung his whip to deal with Life-taking and Soul Lock, once again enduring a round under their three-pronged assault.

By now, the sandstorm had completely reached their side, threatening to swallow them all in one breath.

A typical tornado could still be dealt with using the power of a Grandmaster, but this one, in terms of size, was indeed excessively large. Considering the overall situation, it seemed that the Grandmasters present would have a hard time contending with it.

Grim-faced Monkey was acutely aware that he would definitely be unable to match these three on his own, so even before the confrontation, he had planned his escape route, which was into the massive sand tornado that was already upon them.

Without risk, there’s no reward. To evade the pursuit of these three, Grim-faced Monkey had to make a desperate gamble.

Clearly, this time his bet paid off; he successfully stalled their three-way attack, gaining time for the sand tornado’s arrival.

In an instant, Grim-faced Monkey plunged headfirst into the tornado.

"Not good! Don’t let him escape!" Soul Chaser shouted anxiously.

With this incident, Grim-faced Monkey would become more cautious next time, ensuring the three would have no further opportunity against him.

"Big brother, should we use that move?" Soul Lock quickly asked, seeing Grim-faced Monkey about to vanish into the tornado.

With that question, Soul Chaser immediately understood what he was referring to.

The Xiao family brothers had once gone treasure hunting at sea and, fortunately, they discovered an island where they found a secret realm.

The secret realm was small, with only a few treasures, but it contained an astonishing Heaven and Earth Level Divine Skill.

It was called the "Scorching Blood Burning Wave Heart Sword Slash."

A Heaven and Earth Level Divine Skill is exceedingly rare; once possessed by a Grandmaster, using it to leapfrog and defeat opponents is not difficult at all. The Xiao family’s Heaven and Earth Level Divine Skill was potent, but the cost of using it was significant and not something to be wielded casually.

Yet, the current circumstances dictated that its use was necessary; without forcibly detaining Grim-faced Monkey, they’d waste considerable time wandering the Northern Desert.

Soul Chaser couldn’t afford to think too much at that moment and nodded, saying, "Use it! Come, let’s aim to finish this quickly."

"Yes!"

The three bit their tongues to draw blood, spitting it onto their swords, then chanted an obscure, tongue-twisting incantation.

Buzzing sounds!

The blood on the sword blades, as if writhing, transformed into mysterious characters that floated upwards into the sky.

As these characters appeared, a chanting sound naturally resonated through the heavens and earth, vast and majestic, lingering in the ears.

Grim-faced Monkey, on the brink of disappearing into the tornado, froze the instant he heard this sound, his face turning ashen, with bluish veins bulging on his forehead, as if in agony.

Numerous blood-colored characters flew upwards and converged into a crimson blood cloud, which began to nurture an extraordinary power within.

Sizzling sounds!

A blood-red sword tip silently emerged from the cloud, rapidly descending vertically towards Grim-faced Monkey.

The more the blood-red sword descended, the more its size became clear; it was a double-edged heavy sword, its blade interior was hollowed with many characters.

Where the sword pointed, the air turned muddy, blood mist swirled and intensified, eventually forming a blood-mud-like existence.

Boom!

The direction of the sword was straight towards the tornado.

Grim-faced Monkey’s expression turned grim; he could clearly see that the formidable power of the falling blood sword was nearly cleaving the massive sand tornado in two. At this rate, the complete collapse of the tornado was merely a matter of time.

Once the tornado collapsed, Grim-faced Monkey would lose his means of defense, and then he’d be at the mercy of the Xiao family brothers.

But beyond this, Grim-faced Monkey had to consider how to survive before the blood sword fell.

The sword’s target was precisely his current location!

Yet, after much contemplation, Grim-faced Monkey found no confidence in countering that blood sword, for it was a Heaven and Earth Level Divine Skill.

Conceiving no better option, Grim-faced Monkey pinned his hope on the object in his hand, the Sacred Wheel.

Go!

Without hesitation, Grim-faced Monkey thrust the Sacred Wheel above his head to confront the blood sword. In a flash, the blood sword blade collided precisely with the Sacred Wheel.

Crackling sounds!

The collision between the two resulted in intense frictional noise.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a hair-thin crack appeared on the surface of the Sacred Wheel.

This Sacred Wheel, born from the body of a Saint Wheel Realm expert, could not withstand the power of the blood sword.
