Chapter 710: Qihuang's Molting, Bones Unchanged

Li Shenghong sighed, and the coffin began to move; he immediately acted as Protector, not allowing the coffin any movement.

Severing the link between the coffin and the Formation—Chen Chuyang had already done this step; he merely completed the total isolation on that basis.

Li Shenghong's goal was not only to cut the connection between the coffin and the spiritual vein core, but also to sever the link between the coffin and the outside coffin; this link must be cut, otherwise any situation arising in the coffin would be known to those outside.

The first‑generation Qihuang Qi Songbai stared at the interior; although battle raged outside, he still would not overlook monitoring inside. Li Shenghong must be cautious; he does not wish to disturb the balance here, nor let Qi Songbai learn of Chen Chuyang's actions.

The spiritual vein core is of massive importance; its loss would be a boon for him, but not for Qi Songbai.

"Hold steady for me."

Li Shenghong exerted all his strength, acting as Protector on the coffin, barely holding it steady so that the coffin would not connect with the outside coffin.

Li Shenghong, sweating profusely, took a deep breath.

He looked outward; Qi Songbai had not noticed any movement here. Li Shenghong could not be careless and must keep this place stable.

Outside, Qi Songbai stared at the crowd, his right hand clenched the Demon Heart Swordsman's blade tightly; his cold eyes fixed on the Demon Heart Swordsman, a blood‑red glow staring at him. The swordsman's spirit jolted, but his will was so firm that he recovered instantly.

He released his grip, discarded the blade, and stepped back.

"Hmph, you think you can run, kid? You won't get away."

"Obey and become a part of me; that is your honor."

His left hand shot forward, crossing space; despite the obvious distance, it instantly grasped the Demon Heart Swordsman's throat. The swordsman was horrified, his eyes flashing terror and fear; his true qi erupted, yet to no avail.

The hand pressed firmly, draining him of everything.

"Damn, you actually…"

Qi Songbai lunged forward, opened his massive jaws, and snapped down.

Sharp teeth pierced the Demon Heart Swordsman's flesh; the true qi shield could not stop him.

Contact with blood made Qi Songbai show a satisfied expression, then he sucked greedily.

The swordsman's body visibly shrank; his blood was swiftly swallowed.

In a few breaths, before anyone could react, the swordsman was left as a dry corpse.

"Damn, we can't let him continue."

"After he absorbs the Demon Heart Swordsman's blood, his strength will increase dramatically."

"We…"

Tian Xin Dao Ren acted instantly, his right hand gathering a massive palm and striking down.

"Tian Xin massive palm."

The massive palm had not yet pressed down when Qi Songbai lifted his head, waved his right hand casually, shattering the huge palm.

Qi Songbai's attack did not end there; he raised his head and stared at Tian Xin Dao Ren.

The Demon Heart Swordsman that fell from his mouth hit the ground, his body withered, blood and soul drained, dead beyond death.

"Next, it's your turn."

Tian Xin Dao Ren's face turned pale with shock as he stared at Qi Songbai.

Mu Long Dao Long held his blade and slashed forward.

Huang Fu Xiu followed, drawing his blade instantly.

In an instant, the two blades sliced across Qi Songbai's body; Qi Songbai spread his arms.

A shield about three meters around his body appeared, intercepting the two blades.

Qi Songbai opened his blood‑stained mouth, blood dripping from his teeth onto the ground.

"Tick."

"Tick."

The scent of blood lingered; the two frowned and increased their attack force.

Qi Sword, seeing this, no longer held back; at this moment, if they do not kill Qi Songbai, they will be the ones to die.

"Qi Tian Sword Technique."

"Qi Tian."

Technique, from top to bottom.

The massive Technique cut through heaven and earth.

Qi Songbai lifted his head, cold‑staring at Qi Sword, disdainfully saying, "Kid, you are still too young; you cannot master the Qi Tian Sword Technique. To think you can break my defense is a fool's dream."

"Bang."

The Technique was blocked.

The three attacks were simultaneously halted, unable to advance further.

Qi Songbai lowered his head; the ground writhed as the Earth Snake Ancestor's attack reached his feet.

"Earth Snake Entwine."

"Ten Thousand Snakes Ascend."

Countless venomous snakes crawled up from the ground, opening blood‑filled maws, coiling toward Qi Songbai.

In a few breaths, Qi Songbai's body was covered by the snakes; his shield and true qi showed a crack in an instant.

Mu Long Dao Long's face lit up with joy: "Now is the moment."

Huang Fu Xiu coldly said, "Die."

Qi Sword squinted, "Go die."

The three exerted force simultaneously, annihilating at once.

The blades and sword edges simultaneously shredded those venomous snakes, striking Qi Songbai's body fiercely.

"Bang bang bang."

Three voices rang out, and the three of them were shocked, flung away.

They stared in disbelief at Qi Songbai before them; the three attackers' full-force strike could not break his defense, and they were even blown away by him.

Pfft.

Pfft pfft.

The three spat blood simultaneously; seeing this, Tian Xin Dao Ren dared not hold back.

Heavenly Heart Execution!

Fingers condensed, thrusting toward Qi Songbai's body.

Pfft—sizzle.

The enormous finger actually pierced Qi Songbai's defense, and along with it, his body was pierced through as well.

Tian Xin Dao Ren's face lit with joy; he had finally awaited this moment.

Seeing this, the others all showed delight.

Success!

His defense has been broken.

Earth Snake Old Ancestor sensed something amiss, and warned: "Be careful, this person…… is fine."

Qi Songbai lowered his head, looking at his pierced chest, and gave a grim smile.

Not bad; at last I have not disappointed myself.

Heavenly Heart Old Devil, you're still so sinister.

Qi Songbai raised his right hand; fingers condensed, sharp nails elongating.

Pointing at Tian Xin Dao Ren, he gave a grim smile, mouth full of fangs, terrifying to behold.

Pfft—sizzle.

Tian Xin Dao Ren hadn't yet understood what happened, and his body was flung backward.

A wound appeared on his chest.

A finger-sized wound, the same wound, in the same spot.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Qi Songbai lifted his foot, and those poisonous snakes were snapped apart, blood spilling everywhere.

The Earth Snake Old Ancestor's binding shattered in an instant.

Pfft.

Earth Snake Old Ancestor was blown back by the rebound, violently retreating several meters, his face filled with shock.

This person is terrifying indeed.

After sleeping for so many years, his strength remains heaven-defying; these years, he has not been merely sleeping.

Cough cough cough.

Earth Snake Old Ancestor felt the urge to retreat; Qi Songbai's chest wound quickly healed, a continuous flow of spiritual energy and blood entered his body, repairing his wound, making up his loss, and the hairs on his body actually began to contract slightly.

This change was terrifying.

The purple gradually faded, revealing the form of flesh.

True flesh.

Undying Bone.

He is undergoing transformation.

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Qi Songbai, their faces grim.

They had different thoughts, all wanting to flee, to leave Qihuang Baku.
