Chapter 186 - 182: Retreat Ao Kuang, Take the Golden Sand Pill
The Eastern Sea Dragon King, Ao Kuang, had received a Golden Sand Pill refined from Taiyi Pure Gold from the Buddhist sect and thus promised them that there would be no thick fog rising over the Yangtze River tonight.
Unexpectedly, Enlightenment Dao came to spoil the plan. As soon as they faced each other, seeing that they were both about to ruin each other’s intentions, words failed, and they immediately started fighting fiercely.
Ao Kuang suffered a great loss when ambushed by Enlightenment Dao’s Sword Shadow Clone, which self-destructed with terrifying power, leaving Ao Kuang covered in wounds and bleeding profusely.
Ao Kuang was inwardly shocked, thinking, "What Divine Skills does this man possess that enable a clone to self-destruct with such force! He must be an expert at the Indestructible Realm of Daluo Golden Immortal’s Third Heaven." He also couldn’t help but think, "Once someone reaches the Indestructible Realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal’s Third Heaven, they become almost impossible to kill! And this man’s Mana is unprecedented among those in the Third Heaven—my plan is likely to be ruined by him today! And if the Buddhist sect lays the blame, what should I do then?"
To prevent Ao Kuang from spoiling his plan, Enlightenment Dao was set on not letting him go, intending to kill him on the spot, his fingers forming a Sword technique as he softly chanted a spell, "One sword from the east, the sun and moon set in the west; Sword Leading Immortal Flight, encompassing the Eight Desolates!"
Ao Kuang felt a chill surge from the Bubbling Spring Acupoint in the sole of his foot, spreading throughout his body. Upon closer inspection, he saw a cold star shining through the layers of mist, aimed straight at his throat, which immediately instilled a fear in him as if the shadow of death was already looming over him!
"Sword Leading Immortal Flight!"
This was the ancestral killing move of the Shushan Sword Sect. After Enlightenment Dao understood it, he often used it to kill, having slain the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light, and even the Yamata no Orochi. Now, he was about to slay Ao Kuang with the same technique!
"Chanting—"
Sword chants began to rise to the skies, like a Divine Dragon ascending to the heavens or a Phoenix undergoing Nirvana, causing the entire Yangtze River to seem unstable, such was the terror invoked by the burgeoning Sword Qi. Enlightenment Dao, like a Heavenly Immortal descending to the mortal realm, wielded his sword with supernatural elegance, its force meshed with profound charm and elusive grace, more powerful than ever before.
Astonishment gripped Ao Kuang’s heart. The power of this sword was too frightening—if he was not careful, he would either die or be gravely injured by it. In haste, he took out his divine seal and summoned nearly all the Power of Water Spirit in the Yangtze River, enveloping himself in a cocoon-like shield, layer upon layer, as solid as a fortress of gold.
