Chapter 245: You 2 Bastards
Shen Daoxing was startled. The Seven-Colored Profound Platform inside him spun rapidly as black arcs of electricity flickered. Venerable Power surged out, gathering upon the Great Ming Demon Sparrow.
A black arc of light traced a graceful curve through the sky. In an instant, the surrounding ice crystals melted away completely.
But just as the ice crystals melted, a wave of cold swept past, turning everything back into a world of ice and snow.
Shen Daoxing was taken aback. Only by repeatedly swinging the Great Ming Demon Sparrow could he fend off the relentless tide of cold.
The corners of Yi Xingtian’s mouth curled up as he glared at Shen Daoxing. "You overestimate yourself. Now, die."
The words had barely left his lips when he raised the cyan bead in his hand. A dazzling light erupted, and an indescribable chill rushed out, threatening to freeze everything in its path. Even the air began to solidify. He abruptly raised his arm and, without the slightest hesitation, viciously smashed the bead toward Shen Daoxing.
"Break!"
Shen Daoxing roared. Black arcs of electricity flashed as Venerable Power surged from his body, and he swung the Great Ming Demon Sparrow forward.
Yet, against the overwhelming, all-freezing tide of cold, the Great Ming Demon Sparrow felt as if it were slicing through a deep swamp. It slowed more and more until it finally struck the cyan bead with a loud THUD.
A dazzling cyan light flared.
CLANG!
A crisp ring echoed.
The Great Ming Demon Sparrow was knocked right out of his hand, sent flying into the distance.
Yi Xingtian smirked. "A piddling Spirit Transformation cultivator dares to show off in front of me?"
The light from the cyan bead in his hand flared as he brought it smashing down toward Shen Daoxing’s face.
’As expected, an Earth Profound Realm expert isn’t someone at the Spirit Transformation Realm can compare to. He can’t be defeated so easily.’
Within Huangliang Tomb, Ge Ye shot up from his meditation cushion, prepared to intervene at a moment’s notice.
’Shen Daoxing is a one-in-a-million talent who barely passed the Huangliang Immortal’s trial. I can’t let him die here.’
He faced the overwhelming tide of cold, the terrifying strike of an Earth Profound expert.
Just then, Shen Daoxing slowly extended a hand.
"Seal, come to me!"
He called out softly.
Abruptly, a dazzling white light erupted from within his body.
The exquisite little Venerable Dharma Seal transformed into a streak of light, tracing a graceful arc through the air before landing with a WHOOSH in Shen Daoxing’s hand.
The Seal rose!
The Seal fell!
A brilliant white light erupted, bathing the entire area in its glow.
In an instant, the overwhelming tide of cold vanished without a trace. Everything frozen melted away.
BANG!
Yi Xingtian’s cyan bead slammed into the Venerable Dharma Seal.
The light on the cyan bead vanished in a flash.
CLANG!
A sharp ring echoed.
The cyan bead was sent flying.
"Hm?"
Yi Xingtian was taken aback.
Shen Daoxing tossed the Venerable Dharma Seal high into the air. Its pure white light flared as it hovered in the sky, spinning rapidly. It grew larger and larger, becoming the size of a small mountain in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a BOOM, it began to fall.
"You dare show off such pathetic little tricks in front of me?"
Yi Xingtian stood as firm as a mountain and sneered. He thrust out a palm, and the air before it seemed to compress and crackle.
BOOM!
The mountain-sized Venerable Dharma Seal descended.
"Hm?"
Yi Xingtian’s face flushed red and his body shuddered to a halt as he realized something was wrong.
CRACK!
The ground beneath his feet cracked open, the fissure spreading and branching into countless smaller fractures.
"What is this Magical Artifact?!"
Alarmed, Yi Xingtian hurriedly thrust out his other palm. He strained with both hands to hold up the giant Dharma Seal, the veins on his arms bulging. He had to use every ounce of his strength just to keep from being crushed.
Shen Daoxing didn’t answer. Pushing off from the ground, he shot into the air and landed with a THUD on top of the Venerable Dharma Seal.
Yi Xingtian’s body jolted and sank again, his feet plunging deep into the soil.
’What in the world is this Magical Artifact?’ Yi Xingtian was horrified. ’How can it suppress my Earth Profound Realm power?’
"Celestial Secret, Nan Xuan, what are you waiting for? Attack him with me!" Yi Xingtian yelled desperately.
He twisted his head to look, only to see Profound Celestial Secret and Nan Xuan cowering in the distance, staring blankly in his direction. It was clear they had never intended to intervene.
"You... You two..." Enraged, Yi Xingtian’s mouth fell open and he spat out a huge mouthful of blood.
"Even Senior Brother Xingtian can’t do anything to him!"
Nan Xuan was dumbfounded. After a shocked glance at Shen Daoxing, he turned to Profound Celestial Secret, wondering if they should help.
But Profound Celestial Secret’s feet seemed nailed to the ground. He had no intention of helping, because everything unfolding before him confirmed it.
Everything he had previously divined was true!
"Damn it! Brat, did you really think an Earth Profound expert would be such a pushover?"
Yi Xingtian roared with fury. A brilliant light flared from within his Dantian as boundless Spiritual Power surged forth, manifesting as an incomparably immense force.
Shen Daoxing saw the Venerable Dharma Seal being lifted, inch by inch. Yi Xingtian was about to break free.
’Of course, I can’t let him get away with it.’
"Taiyi Demon Suppression, Ten Swords of All Heavens!"
He raised two fingers and pointed them toward the sky. A seven-colored light shot up from his body.
SWOOSH!
Without warning, a massive hole tore open in the sky, immediately filled by a gigantic Treasure Sword.
In the blink of an eye.
The blade of the Treasure Sword ignited with flames that seared the air.
It fell like a meteor.
BOOM!
A tremendous crash resounded.
The giant Treasure Sword slammed down upon Yi Xingtian.
The light protecting Yi Xingtian immediately dimmed. He cried out as he spat another huge mouthful of blood, his aura weakening.
But a moment later, the light around him flared once more, and his immense power surged anew.
"Again!"
Another rift opened in the sky, revealing a colossal Treasure Sword that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth.
In the blink of an eye!
The great Treasure Sword fell like a meteor.
RUMBLE!
It crashed down on Yi Xingtian once more.
"Gah!"
He coughed up another large mouthful of blood.
"Celestial Secret! Nan Xuan! Aren’t you going to help me?!"
Yi Xingtian snapped his head around, only to see that Profound Celestial Secret and Nan Xuan hadn’t taken a single step toward him. In fact, they were getting farther away.
"You... You two..."
Once again, Yi Xingtian coughed up a great mouthful of blood.
At that moment, another incomparably huge Treasure Sword plummeted from the sky like a falling star.
A spray of crimson blood flew into the air.
Yi Xingtian spewed yet another mouthful of blood.
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
...
But the gigantic Treasure Swords in the sky did not stop there. One after another, rifts tore open in the heavens.
One sword, two swords, three swords... A total of seven gigantic Treasure Swords emerged from above, darkening the entire sky. Only their seven massive silhouettes remained.
Yi Xingtian, struggling to hold up the Venerable Dharma Seal, looked up at the sky and trembled. When he turned to look at Profound Celestial Secret and Nan Xuan again, he saw that they had secretly summoned an Array. They were actually trying to escape the Huangliang Secret Realm.
"You... you two bastards!"
Overcome with rage, Yi Xingtian spat out another great mouthful of blood.
