Chapter 829: The Great Sun Descends
The Yinglong Warship continued to move through the seemingly endless rift between the yin and yang realms, and the situation had already taken a dramatic turn.
With the deaths of Nichinin, the Grand Abbot of Jinsho-ji, and Shinmen Yukinosuke from the Niten Ichiryu School, only three remained—a shinkan from the Asahi-jingu, a miko of royal descent, and a jonin from the Koga School.
Meanwhile, on the Daoist side, not a single person had been harmed.
The shinkan involuntarily took a few steps back.
Li Changge restored Mortal Vitality to its original length. With a flash from the Bright Crown on his head, he vanished once again.
This was neither spatial compression nor astral shifting. It was simply a result of time slowing down. As he moved at normal speed within the slowed flow of time, anyone not within the same temporal rhythm could only perceive it as instant teleportation.
In the next instant, Li Changge appeared before the shinkan and drove his sword into the man’s chest, blood gushing forth.
As a semi-immortal object, Mortal Vitality had a natural sword qi that was also known as the Tribulation Defiance. This was said to be the most lethal sword qi beneath the level of true Immortals.
Thus, neither Nichinin nor the shinkan could withstand its might.
These poor souls were simply unlucky, completely crushed in terms of weaponry. It was like two armies clashing. One side was full-grown men, while the other was teenage boys. The men might be stronger, but all they had were melee weapons, while the boys were armed with modern firearms. The outcome had already been decided by the tools they carried.
Then, Mortal Vitality began to take root and sprout. Countless tendrils spread from the wound, and soon, more than a dozen identical sword edges burst from within the shinkan’s body, protruding outward from all directions.
Yet anyone bold enough to challenge the Daoists had to possess some strength. The shinkan was not truly dead. His yin-spirit, now detached from his body, floated upward without dissipating, like a parasite that refused to die.
