Chapter 179 - Mountains Fall and the Earth Splits
Chapter 179 Mountains Fall and the Earth Splits
The bloody mist spread around in the air under the night sky. Rattlesnake’s scream seemed to be still echoing in the air, but the strong sword intent that swept off hundreds of meters in a second had dissipated.
Everything happened so fast that it felt like an illusion. Only the blood mist in the air could prove what just happened.
Blood, flesh, bones, and viscera.
That sharp sword intent rushed through, and everything got crushed into powder.
Rattlesnake.
She used to be the top General of Night Spirit, and she might have secretly surpassed the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. Rattlesnake, who was a half step to Invincible Realm, rushed in front and directly confronted the ultimate sword intent.
The night breeze blew, the slim raindrops fell, and the blood mist floated in the air for a short while then quickly disappeared.
There seemed to be no trace of Rattlesnake’s existence to be found in the whole forest.
An instakill!
An instakill from hundreds of meters away.
Rattlesnake, who was closely a half step to Invincible Realm, got blown up into blood mist before she could do anything to fight back.
How terrifying would the person who gave the sword strike be?
“Saint!”
A roar of horror suddenly rang out.
The ragged red robe of Tian Yue, the High Priest of Ise Grand Shrine, swelled up violently. In the blink of an eye, he forcefully suppressed his injury caused by the hypertoxic substance.
Tian Yue’s face was exceptionally pale, but his soared momentum instantly got back to the peak.
About three years ago, he had fought once with Saint in Dongdu. He would never forget about that extreme and aggressive sword intent. Three years later, when that grand, strong sword intent rushed through the battlefield and instantly killed Rattlesnake, he recognized the sword intent almost immediately.
Saint from Samsara Palace, the head of 12 Super Masters, one of the superiors a half step to Invincible Realm that was closest to the full Invincible Realm in the Dark World.
He was a half step behind? A level down? Half a level down?
To be above the Thunder-shocking Realm and under the Invincible Realm.
The subtle difference was actually very great. A level of difference in the Half-step Invincible Realm could be the difference between life and death.
The High Priest Tian Yue was a superior a half step to Invincible Realm. Three years ago, he lost to Saint. And three years later today, although his state didn’t weaken, his health was weaker than that in younger years, while Saint was still quite young, at least he was still very promising to get into the Invincible Realm.
Tian Yue himself was probably degrading in skills.
While Saint was always improving by leaps and bounds.
The gap between them would only get wider and wider, so before Saint got near to the battlefield, Tian Yue forcefully locked down the toxin in him. Although it would cause him a more serious injury later, he pushed himself to the level of a half step to Invincible Realm.
“Kill!”
Tian Yue screamed loudly. He didn’t hold back anymore. He lifted his arms and made an embrace position.
The sound of thunder faintly echoed in the sky.
A vast expanse of air exploded around him. The twisted airflow formed strong tearing wind, stirring up everything within the distance of dozens of meters. The shocking thunder and lightning lit up in his arms, then they twisted and intertwined together, forming a ball-shaped object.
Dawn in white stood in front of Tian Yue.
Bai Ye beside him was also in white.
And suddenly, the white shadow disappeared.
Bai Ye’s body suddenly disappeared, and the sound of the blade breaking through space at high speed rang out. With lightning dimly shining, the blade rushed straight to Dawn.
Bai Ye’s body disappeared, only the sword intent was left in the air.
The unique technique of Wuji Palace.
The Dark Ambush!
This wasn’t the most powerful move of Wuji Palace, but it was seen as the real quintessence of Tianhai Wuji’s lifetime knowledge.
Tianhai Wuji was the most powerful grandmaster of sabre techniques in East Island. But this move was the true Reining Sword move.
The key to this move was dissipation.
The sword intent condensed.
The shadow dissipated.
At that moment, Bai Ye’s shadow seemed to be really wiped out from the world, only the sword light of the blade breaking through the space shining in the air.
Dawn didn’t strike back. He couldn’t anyway.
Under the Dark Ambush, Bai Ye’s body was really gone, only his sword could be seen in the air. No attack could really touch and hurt him.
The sword light, thunder, and lightning all fell down.
A few meters away from him, the light ball in Tian Yue’s arms suddenly blew up.
There were thunder and lightning raging everywhere, swallowing and destroying everything.
The thunder and lightning rushed to the spot where Bai Ye was just at, and they spread in all the space around, breaking through everything.
This was one of the strongest final hits of Ise Grand Shrine.
The Dark Sacrifice!
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye and Tian Yue struck at the same time, in full force.
The sword intent, the thunder, and the lightning lit up the whole sky. The raging, violent killing intent directly covered up Dawn in white.
...
Nobody was a fool.
Bai Ye and Tian Yue weren’t fools.
Holy Light wasn’t a fool.
Prince Renwu wasn’t a fool.
Duke, Horsewoman, Li Tianlan weren’t fools, either.
How was the contrast of powers on the battlefield?
Dawn was a real superior a half step to Invincible Realm.
Duke was also extremely close to this level.
Among the 12 Super Masters of Samsara, there was Asura between Horsewoman and Duke. Her strength was weaker than Duke’s, but the difference was little.
An ordinary superior at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm was definitely impossible to be one of the Super Masters of Samsara Palace.
Li Tianlan was injured now. It was hard to figure out his combat capability. But after taking the potion named Surge from North America, in three months, his strength would get to the Fire-flaming Realm. He had the Tribulation’s Buddhist Incantation of Nine Words, the Map of God of War from the Li family, Wind and Thunder Veins, so he was exceptionally powerful with all these. Li Tianlan in this state could easily kill an ordinary superior of the Thunder-shocking Realm and protect himself from a superior at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm.
While as his enemy, East Island indeed held advantages in strength.
Tian Yue and Holy Light from Northern Europe were both standard superiors of Half-step Invincible Realm.
Bai Ye wouldn’t be weaker than Duke.
Prince Renwu was also in the Thunder-shocking Realm. Although he hadn’t reached the peak, his combat capability was enough.
Plus they had hundreds of East Island elites around.
They felt secure for their manpower, knowing nothing could beat them.
But Saint’s appearance messed up the contrast of power between the two parties.
The strong sword intent that could travel hundreds of meters in a second killed Rattlesnake instantly. Such strength had completely proven the strong momentum of the top one Super Master of Samsara Palace. Tian Yue had passed his peak. Even Holy Light was still at his peak, it would be completely impossible for himself to do that.
But everyone was aware that, Saint hadn’t fully reached the Invincible Realm.
When talking about the scene, the sword move just now was weaker than Dongcheng Rushi’s Sword Move of the Flying Fairy from Outer Space, but when it came to strength, that move was close to the moves a superior of the Invincible Realm could make.
Killing Rattlesnake from hundreds of meters away definitely took all of Saint’s strength.
This method seemed chilling and overbearing, but how could Saint not pay for this himself?
At least he would be weak for a short period of time, and that was for sure.
Saint’s weak state and the distance of hundreds of meters between them gave East Island the best chance.
As long as they caught Li Tianlan in this short period of time, even if Duke didn’t die, even if Horseman didn’t die, and the other young men didn’t die, as long as they beat them and caught Li Tianlan, their mission would be completed.
If they waited till Saint recovered from his weak state and hurried to the battlefield, then it wasn’t a matter about winning and losing. It was highly possible that none of them could get out alive.
They had to seize every minute and every second!
Suddenly, everyone in the forest went completely insane. They had to give everything they had!
...
Tian Yue was doing his best, and Bai Ye was doing his best too.
Holy Light was also doing his best.
As the leader of Knights Templars that came to East Island, he was just as nervous and pressured as East Island.
Of course, the reason was Samsara.
The Samsara Palace.
This was one of most mysterious dark powers known in the Dark World. No one knew where their headquarter was. People only heard the rumor that they were very powerful and influential in Europe.
And the headquarter of Knights Templars was in Northern Europe, their biggest supporter behind the scene, the Vatican, was also located in Europe.
In the past few years, Northern Europe was always the most crowded place in the Dark World. The Knights Templars called themselves the chosen ones of God, and they carried the willpower of the Vatican and saw the Dark Knights as heresy. While Night Spirit, which was located in Bili State, liked to fish in troubled waters. The people of Samsara Palace only showed up once in a while, and they were hard to identify. The Wang family of Beihai, the Jiang family of South America, Fantasy World and the other dark powers, whether big or small, all had their own goals.
In the countless secretive corners of Northern Europe, people fought and killed each other every day.
And now a great change was about to happen in the Dark World. Although the battlefield was in East Island, it started from Northern Europe as always.
Night Spirit was wiped out.
Samsara, Knights Templars and the Dark Knights were the only superpowers left with the deepest roots in the entire Northern Europe.
But on the day of the final battle in Zhongzhou State, Samsara and the Dark Knights showed a close cooperative relationship that surprised everyone, which made Knights Templars very nervous.
If this situation continued, there wouldn’t be any space for Knights Templars to survive in Northern Europe in the future.
Sworn enemy!
Anyone who stood with the heresy was their sworn enemy.
So Holy Light hurried to East Island and formed an alliance with East Island, which was against Samsara and Zhongzhou State. This was the cooperation that involved the bigger picture and overall situation. Holy Light had a pure mind, so he would give everything he got for his ally!
Attack!
Attack!
He was moving forward.
Duke was backing off.
There were surging air flows everywhere. In the dark, Holy Light’s blonde hair shook violently, and dazzling lights shone around him. The dim blue electric arc went straight up to the sky, and Holy Light’s body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
Holy and majestic.
That seemed to be the strength of faith, sturdy and unshakable.
“Heresy, go to hell!”
In the furious scream, Holy Light struck a fist.
With nothing to hide.
This was the Martial Arts of the Vatican.
The Holy Punishment!
Behind Duke, there were disordered thunder and lightning shining and booming everywhere, stretching themselves with extreme power. In front of Holy Light’s Holy Punishment, he took bigger and bigger steps backward, but the thunder and lightning behind him made him stop rapidly.
Two slim but extremely dangerous electric arcs suddenly shot him from behind. They were harsh and cold.
The Tusk!
The air started to get bloody.
It was like holiness crashing into evil.
In obscurity, the golden and bloody electric arcs intertwined together. Holy Light’s blood burst out from his shoulder, while Duke who had weaker strength got blown away by the former’s fist.
Holy Light, whose bones on his shoulder had been exposed, didn’t show his pain. No one could understand his eager and craziness.
“Heresy!”
In his howling, he rose up in the air and chased after Duke, then rushed down from above.
His unique technique: Trial!
...
Duke was fighting.
Horsewoman was guarding.
Horsewoman was a code name, and it seemed to be more like a guardian.
The few young men who were in a coma on the ground were placed together by Horsewoman. Gunshots were everywhere, and all kinds of bullets swept through all the places around Horsewoman. In her sight, the elites rushed in one after another.
Ice-condensing Realm, Fire-flaming Realm...
They might not be the strongest, but the pressure they brought together could beat an individual of the Thunder-shocking Realm.
Horsewoman looked calm. The bright electric arcs intertwined together densely around her, forming an unbreakable electric net. The countless bullets that hit the electric net were melted down quietly. The elites around were getting closer and closer, and both the freezing and burning lights shone in her eyes, becoming clearer and clearer.
Horsewoman took a deep breath. Watching the elites encircling her, she suddenly lowered her body.
She held her fist tight.
The seemingly delicate fist smashed to the ground.
“Bang!”
The electric net around her suddenly exploded. Countless electric arcs were scattered and formed a perfect circle.
The cracking sound was everywhere in the air, and the blast wave that was composed of pure lightning reached every corner around. Many East Island elites were blown up in the air as if they were struck by thunder.
Then the lightning closed up.
Horsewoman had no expression on her face, but she was secretly observing Li Tianlan.
She could die, but nothing could happen to Li Tianlan.
Horsewoman pressed her lips together, and her expression looked cruel.
She could die when the situation was desperate. Duke, Dawn, Dongcheng Rushi, Li Baitian, Ning Qiancheng...
Anyone of them could die!
...
Switching the places!
At the moment Rattlesnake exploded, without any hesitation, Li Tianlan had entered his most powerful combat state. Three shadows appeared at the same time, and the distance between him and Prince Renwu was getting shorter as he was switching places. Prince Renwu regained his composure after the shock, but a silver spear had already struck at his head with unstoppable momentum.
To change a princess?
From today, the East Island royalty might change the prince.
Prince Renwu felt thunder booming and lightning shining around his whole body. Before he could fight back, the raging light stopped him.
The Stop Formula!
The air that got suddenly twisted seemed to constrain everything.
Li Tianlan’s eyes looked cold. After the Stop Formula, he used the Crack Formula.
He and his shadows all rushed to Prince Renwu at the same time.
However, Prince Renwu’s body had disappeared in a second.
Only the invisible sword intent flew to Li Tianlan while bursting out dim blue light all over the sky.
The unique technique of Wuji Palace.
The Dark Ambush!
Li Tianlan’s facial expression didn’t change a bit. He was still working on his Crack Formula. The Human Emperor suddenly turned into double swords.
The raging fire suddenly burst out and reached the high sky, and the whole mountain forest seemed to be set on fire instantly.
The Eighth Blade of Celestial Flames!
The thunder and lightning around were flying and roaring. He could see from the corner of his eyes that two figures in white appeared at the same time in the falling lightning.
There was a lot of blood on the white clothes. The High Priest Tian Yue, whose red robe had almost been torn into pieces completely, had flown away quickly.
...
Blood on white clothes.
Under Bai Ye’s ambush, Dawn, who took all Tian Yue’s attacks, was covered in blood; Bai Ye’s blood, Tian Yue’s blood, and his own blood.
It was the fiercest confrontation, and neither of them held back.
The battle seemed to finish right after it began.
Dawn’s body was shaking slightly, and his breathing was getting weaker.
While Tian Yue’s body flew over to at least thirty or forty meters away, he lay on the ground and didn’t move since.
“Tian Yue, you’re old!”
Dawn’s eyes looked cold. Watching where Tian Yue fell down, he said with a poker face.
Bai Ye’s figure had appeared.
In a split second, he seemed to successfully dodge all of Dawn’s attacks, and his body was still in the perfect state.
But he didn’t look very excited. On the contrary, he seemed worried.
Working with Tian Yue made them as powerful as two superiors of Half-step Invincible Realm. Even if there would be a difference, it wouldn’t be a big one.
But at that moment, the super master, who appeared out of nowhere, didn’t... seem to... use any unique technique.
The attacks he dodged seemed to be very basic moves.
Who the hell was that? Where did he come from?
Bai Ye’s eyes focused completely.
Watching Dawn’s weak, tired face, he seemed grave. Then he lifted up the long Samurai sword in his hand.
Green light bloomed on the blade of the Samurai sword.
At that moment, there seemed to be strong wind whistling, blowing up Bai Ye’s white robe without any warning.
He took up the saber.
Then he dashed forward.
The green saber light lit up the mountain forest nearby.
The saber light suppressed all the lightning.
Quick!
Quick like lightning.
Strike after strike with no stop.
The speed was indescribable. Bai Ye acted as if he was possessed by a demon. Not only the movement of the saber was fast, but his own movement also sped up rapidly, entering the level of Half-step Invincible Realm.
The saber light burst out at a dazzling speed, covering up everything.
In the saber light, everything seemed to go to ruin.
The most powerful unique technique of Wuji Palace.
The fastest saber in the Dark World.
Mountains Fall and the Earth Splits!
