Chapter 748 - 400: Qing Guang Hall (Part 3)
The rapid changes in his footwork were truly dazzling. Although his realm was higher and speed swifter, it was as if he had fallen into the palm of an opponent’s hand. Each time that the formation shifted and repositioned, it was perfectly timed to catch him just as he was about to attack but hadn’t yet struck, forcing him into a defensive position, unable to use his strength and left only to fend off and parry.
Even though each individual’s cultivation level was slightly inferior, the three of them together could rival him. Taking on one would surely bring assistance from the others, making it difficult to secure a swift victory.
Soon, they might not even need to work together as a trio. If they managed to spare one person to use the Purple Mist Primordial Breaker to counter his Green Fall Attraction, he might have to reveal the bottom card of his Skull Flying Sword in exchange. But then, how would he deal with the remaining two attacking simultaneously...?
No! I can’t keep delaying! Decide swiftly! Kill one first!
"Cliff Fall Point!"
With a furious shout, the voice from Qing Guang Hall hurled the bamboo pen in hand straight toward Zheng Mingyi’s chest! The speed of the pen suddenly surged, and the pen tip abruptly condensed with Green Dao Qi, thick as ink, striking forth like a massive stone, concentrating on a single point, forcefully penetrating through! Determined to kill one person regardless! The weakest one!
"Junior Brother, watch out!"
"Hold the formation!"
Indeed, although Junior Brother Zheng Mingyi had succeeded in a surprise attack earlier, it had clearly drained a lot of his cultivation, leaving him vulnerable now after thirty rounds, revealing him as the weakest link in the formation!
Seeing the opponent’s pen aimed at him was within Zheng Mingyi’s expectations, placing absolute trust in his Senior Brother. He didn’t panic or flee, instead letting out a cry as he attracted the circulating East Splendor Dao Qi to shield his body, maintaining precise footwork to withstand the strike!
"Startled Swan!"
"Swipe!"
However, who would have guessed that Qing Guang Hall would pull a deceptive move! With a twist of the pen tip, they executed a maneuver like a retreating spear! The pen tip darted swiftly to the lower left, like a fleeting glimpse, nimble and elusive, moving with unpredictable trajectory! It was a reverse strike, targeting Wei Hanguang!
This round-faced chatterbox is the most annoying! Kill him first!
Witnessing his Junior Brother in danger, Wei Hanguang was rushing to the rescue. Just then, a retreating spear from Qing Guang Hall struck right at him, too late to retract and adjust! He decisively countered!
"Nine Heavens Without Me!"
The sword light burst forth suddenly! Sword energy surged! Wei Hanguang altered his sword style, open and broad! Painting a fiery arbor and golden circle in the air! Meeting the strike with full force, diverting the tip of Startled Swan about to hit him... Wait! The pen tip lacked power! It was still a feint!?
Correct! Qing Guang Hall, after all, had received the True Monarch’s Immortal Transmission! How could they be toyed with so easily by young ones!
One move to draw him near! One to trick him into using his ultimate move! Next, to bring about his demise! Now I turn the tables!
"Wild Clouds Fury!"
In an instant, Qing Guang Hall plunged into a state of frenzy, his pen danced wildly like a dragon and snake! Exuberantly and wantonly! The vibrant ink transformed into countless chaotic, flying particles in a storm, obscuring vision! Launching a large-scale reckless attack indiscriminately! Blowing apart and scattering the trio’s formation! Seizing this opportunity, encircling Wei Hanguang within the pen tip’s strike! At that moment, Dao Qi felt like a knife, the Qing Guang like a sword! Cutting Wei Hanguang to pieces, blood mist spraying wildly!
"Xuanyuan Break!"
At such a crucial juncture, Wei Hanguang hesitated no more, discarded his sword to channel power, pointing a finger! Direct hit on Qing Guang Hall’s pen tip!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound.
The bamboo pen shattered, scattering into thousands of jade pieces.
Along with it, Qing Guang Hall’s right arm exploded into fine dust.
Ah, it couldn’t withstand it, after all.
But I was prepared for this!
"Life and Death Sword!"
Qing Guang Hall shouted, lifting with his left hand, the jade skull in his palm glowed from its eyes, as sword light prepared to burst from the skull!
"Whoosh!"
However, a band of golden light flashed over, swiftly removing Qing Guang Hall’s left wrist, even seizing the skull flying sword away!
Qing Guang Hall turned to see Xu Dongyang, holding a golden mirror, pinching the formula and chanting, had evidently been anticipating his move for a long time.
"That traitor was in cahoots with you all..."
"Bang! Bang!"
The next moment, Xu Dongyang and Zheng Mingyi together thrust forward, the Xuanyuan Break striking down, demolishing Qing Guang Hall’s head and chest in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
Just then! As the trio’s powers were fully unleashed! A beam of green light erupted from the spine of the corpse, shooting skyward!
Nascent Soul Emergence! Escaping thousands of miles in a flash! I must escape!!
"Whoosh!"
Yet even this attempt to flee failed!
From within the grasslands, a gold gleam abruptly flashed past! Perfectly intercepting the green light’s escape, capturing Qing Guang’s Primordial Spirit!
The golden glow landed and rolled to reveal itself as a golden cicada.
Seeing this, the disciples of East Splendor Mountain ceased breathing control or Qi Replenishment, and rose, bowing low.
A voice from the grass said,
"This person’s lifetime of cultivation, to have personally explored to this extent is commendable.
Rein him into the sect for training, through another life, perhaps he may mature.
All the nuns inside, slaughter them, leave not even the chickens or dogs behind."
"Yes, we shall strictly follow Master’s decree."
