Chapter 1312 - 720: Farlza (Double - ) (2)
Chen Yi unleashed a flurry of sword strikes, and in the rippling waves emerged thousands of sword shadows, spreading behind him like a peacock spreading its feathers. The sword shadows swayed violently, yet never dispersed.
At the instant the sword tip met with the hand force, time seemed to pause momentarily before a visible ripple spread out, causing even the space it passed to show subtle cracks.
Purity Saintess retreated several steps, the brilliance of the Bright Hall formed multiple barriers in front of her, yet it was still shaken by the aftermath, causing the brilliance to flicker.
Even with the Resentment Demon Master as a meat shield, Chen Yi returned to the Third Grade Realm, and his Sword Intent World was almost at its peak. However, there’s a significant gap compared to the First Grade Realm and almost a chasm from being the world’s number one. He could only leverage force against force, using sword intent to invoke the Resentment Demon Master’s boundless unenlightenment, grinding away at that palm like polishing jade.
Xu Qi slowly withdrew his palm, increasingly joyful in his eyes. How many years had it been since he felt this way?
He momentarily ignored the Purity Saintess, instead focusing on Chen Yi,
"Is there a sword?"
Chen Yi’s hand holding the sword slightly trembled, the web between thumb and forefinger already cracked.
Yet the corner of his mouth turned up in a smile: "How about we kill her first?"
As the words echoed, Xu Qi slowly turned his head, seeming to have finally picked up the task at hand.
Purity Saintess looked at the two in the arena, knowing today’s situation was beyond her control.
Xu Qi walked step by step in the sky, his form moved like an ordinary person.
However, in an instant, between heaven and earth, there were myriad streaks of green rainbow piercing vertically.
The remnants in the sky slowly dissipated.
The fist intent ceased to disperse, all concentrating in a single line, aimed directly at Purity Saintess, this punch returned to the original, without changing the wind and clouds, only the void silently extinguished where his fist passed.
Purity Saintess finally showed fear, urgently holding the Bright Hall, her surrounding brilliance all gathered into the hall, making the towering hall suddenly more real. The bells at the eaves rang without wind, emitting a cleansing divine sound.
She was about to face the True Heavenly People’s punch with the Bright Hall’s body.
At this moment, Chen Yi moved.
He did not attack Purity Saintess, but his sword tip lightly turned, pointing at the Resentment Demon Master’s head.
The restrained brilliance on the Hou Kang Sword completely vanished, the sword became transparent like glass, countless fine sword threads flowed from the sword tip, infiltrating the Demon Master’s massive body like a spider web.
The Resentment Demon Master let out a painful yet joyful roar, the swirling resentment around him suddenly solidified, and in the next instant, transformed into billions of gray Sword of Nothingness!
"Go."
Chen Yi uttered softly, the billions of Swords of Nothingness did not shoot towards Purity Saintess but merged into the trajectory of Xu Qi’s concentrated Fist Gang like rivers flowing into the sea.
Xu Qi’s fist intent was majestic and grand, and at this moment, with endless unenlightened sword intent merging, it produced mysterious changes, shrouding the edges of the Fist Gang in a layer of dusky halo, causing time to stagnate and causality to be disturbed.
Purity Saintess exerted all her strength, pushing her surrounding brilliance and control over the Bright Hall to the extreme. The towering hall echoed like a grand bellring, attempting to repel this strike.
Dong—Ka!
First, a soul-shattering boom, followed closely by a clear and unsettling cracking sound!
Only to see the surface of the Bright Hall, where brilliance flowed, right at the point of impact by the Fist Gang, a clear crack rapidly spread, like exquisite porcelain being struck hard, swiftly extending from one side of the gate to the dome! The brilliance of the hall swayed violently, flickering, and the formerly overwhelming pressure couldn’t help but diminish rapidly.
Yet, this wasn’t the greatest fright for Purity Saintess, her figure trembled, her immaterial light-source body blurred and twisted, seemingly on the brink of collapse.
The "Ming Venerable" realm she achieved by borrowing the authority of the Bright Hall was already like rootless duckweed, and now its foundation was damaged, and the backlash came immediately.
Purity Saintess forcibly raised her stance, extracting what remained of the Bright Hall’s brilliance, erupting once more with dazzling radiance, like a dying star’s final flash, a vast repelling force violently expanded, forcibly deflecting both Xu Qi’s remaining Fist Gang momentum and the lurking dark torrent of the Resentment Demon Master.
Xu Qi’s figure hesitated slightly, drifting back dozens of feet, his green robe fluttering, dissipating the vibration.
Just as her old force was exhausted, new strength not yet born, and her mind showed a tiny gap due to pushing the Bright Hall,
Xu Qi’s retreat abruptly halted, as if he stepped on an invisible wall, and in the next moment, his figure suddenly returned!
Another punch.
Nigh covering the four directions.
As if turning the surrounding entire world into his fist momentum, intending to thoroughly smash and ram the swaying Bright Hall, along with the Purity Saintess within, and the entire space.
Purity Saintess had just managed to break free from the joint attack, her breath yet to settle, when she saw the earth-tilting fist strike advancing once more.
She knew Xu Qi had never unleashed his full strength from the start.
As misfortunes often come in pairs, just as she was defending against Xu Qi’s formidable and overbearing second punch, endless darkness stealthily approached from behind.
The massive figure of the Resentment Demon Master had somehow torn through the void, seizing the moment when she repelled the attack with immense unenlightened resentment, like a giant ancient beast lying in wait, opening its monstrous jaws to devour the world, lunging at her!
With the True Heavenly Person’s fist covering the land in the front, and the malicious intent of the Resentment Demon Master devouring the world from the back, Purity Saintess’s "eyes" could no longer maintain calmness.
Her Ming Venerable realm had only just formed, inherently unstable; matching the True Heavenly Person had already pushed her to the limits of effort, and the Resentment Demon Master was behind her.
Purity Saintess made a decision in her heart instantly.
At this critical juncture, she no longer attempted to confront the onslaught head-on but took an immensely daring move.
As if depleting a pond to catch all the fish, she drew upon the brilliance of the Bright Hall, allowing the already cracking line of the Bright Hall to wail and tremble under Xu Qi’s Fist Gang’s aftershock, its light dimming further.
Immediately, she clasped her hands together and then slowly pulled them apart, as if opening a grand curtain between heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
As if the Milky Way had reversed, a far more enormous and turbulent River of Time was violently torn open from the void, using the Bright Hall as a medium!
The river’s waves surged, within it floated countless fragmented images of past and future.
Such a vast and majestic River of Time, once entered, even Xu Qi could not trace her against the current.
Purity Saintess leaped into it.
Chen Yi’s pupils shrunk slightly; though he unleashed his sword, he could not catch up, as the waves from the open and rippling River of Time shocked even the Resentment Demon Master’s form into stillness.
Was he to watch helplessly as she vanished into the River of Time?
He gritted his teeth.
If only there were more time.
Just one breath, a mere breath would suffice...
A wish to come true, but how can a wish come true?
Now that she commands the Bright Hall,
Who could detain her within the River of Time?!
"Dark Demon Bone builds this prison, the greedy winds and delusional rains erode my soul, yet the spiritual light does not extinguish, hidden within the Xumi Seed... Now with the Pure Tongue, chant the Breaking Barrier Mantra: ’Yesda! Yesda!’
In the River of Time, where heaven and earth undulate like ripples, suddenly the sound of chanting scripture echoed continuously, starting faint as a drifting leaf, then growing larger and wider.
Chen Yi suddenly halted, his pupils constricting again, suddenly remembering someone.
A figure he could barely recall, someone who vanished almost inexplicably, who before disappearing seemed to be calling to the Ming Venerable.
In an instant, he hesitated no longer, wielding the final trace of brilliance left in the Kang Sword with his fingertips,
"Hold her, Wu Meng!"
"Petition the Twelve Layers of Light Envoy, summon the Pure Wind, steer the Bright Boat! Wield the Wisdom Sword, sever the Dark Chain! Open the Mercy Gate, lead her home!"
"Falsa! Falsa!"
Purity Saintess’s figure was already half a step into the River of Time for a moment, suddenly pausing, her gaze shifting as an endless River of Time revealed a speck of darkness, swiftly growing larger and nearer, in a moment hurtling like a black thunderbolt straight at her.
Under the pull of a trace of the Bright Hall’s brilliance, it forcefully crossed from the other side of the River of Time.
Only a moment.
As if resonating with heaven and earth, this thunderbolt struck toward Purity Saintess.
Chen Yi stepped on the Resentment Demon Master’s head, riding on limitless unenlightenment as he rose.
A sword thrust straight forward.
