Chapter 579

"Bang!"

The terrifyingly powerful spiritual weapon instantly shattered the golden *Gang Qi* and the silver spear head. Terrifying cracks spread, extending from the spear tip all the way to the spear shaft.

Song Shixian's gaze was cruel, a touch of satisfaction appearing. He could finally kill this beast and avenge the many people of the Song family.

He did not fear the opponent engaging him in battle; he only feared the opponent would keep running. Otherwise, even with a spiritual weapon in hand, he would have no certainty of killing Xu Yang.

"Crack!"

The half-spiritual weapon grade long spear did not even last for a single breath of time. Even though Xu Yang had infused it with pure and tyrannical golden *Gang Qi*, it exploded in an instant, the fragments shooting back with the force to pierce gold and crack stone.

Fortunately, he had long anticipated this. The moment the blade struck the spear tip, he had already discarded the spear handle and vanished from his spot.

The fragments that rolled back pierced only the phantom image he had left behind.

A phantom image?

Song Shixian's pupils could not help but contract. This was a phantom image?

"Not good!" He was terrified, realizing something was wrong, and quickly retracted the spiritual weapon to protect his chest.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a roar sounded in his ears, and a golden fist punched through the air with peerless momentum, slamming heavily onto the spiritual weapon.

"Clang!"

This punch was heavier than ten thousand *jun*, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting. The spiritual weapon emitted a massive roar, and the light that had just begun to shine was blasted back.

The golden fist *Gang* shattered, sweeping out like sharp blades. Xu Yang felt his fist sting; the terrifying recoil caused his fist to be covered in cracks, blood splattering.

Colliding with a spiritual weapon bare-handed—even if this spiritual weapon was not being driven to its strongest state, the consequences were more severe than he had imagined. Merely the portion of *Qi* that was shaken out had cracked his robust body, which could resist half-spiritual weapons. The power was simply terrifying.

Of course, Song Shixian was not having an easy time. He was able to chase and kill Xu Yang not because he was powerful, but because the spiritual weapon was powerful.

Although the half-spiritual weapon had offset most of the power of this punch, the remaining force was not something he could ignore.

He felt as if a great mountain had slammed into the Green Water Blade. The vast power nearly caused the Green Water Blade to fly out of his hand, and the blade body rolled back and smashed against his body-protecting *Gang Qi*!

"Crack!"

Amidst the teeth-aching sound of shattering, spiderweb-like cracks quickly covered his body-protecting *Gang Qi*. The terrifying vibration caused his muscles and bones to roar, his blood and *Qi* churning incessantly.

What terrified him even more was that Xu Yang's fist had only been cracked by the *Qi* of the spiritual weapon and had not suffered any overly heavy injuries.

Xu Yang was actually also shocked by the power of the spiritual weapon. Since he had cultivated the Diamond Body Technique, his indestructible body had never truly been injured, but this time, it had actually bled.

"Little beast, die!"

Song Shixian suppressed his churning blood and *Qi*, infusing *Gang Qi* into the spiritual weapon to counter-attack, but in his eyes, he saw a terrifying scene.

A golden giant bear appeared on Xu Yang's back, roaring toward the sky. At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to be shaken, and the world of his mind rumbled.

Song Shixian's pupils contracted violently, his heart churning like a stormy sea. Martial arts imagery!

This was martial arts imagery!

Xu Yang was only at Marrow Cleansing Major Success and had already comprehended martial arts imagery.

The mountain-like pressure swept out, the violent aura covering the sky and earth. Song Shixian's horror instantly turned into fear and terror, as if the Xu Yang before him had turned into a savage, ancient beast. The sky-topping ferocity made his entire body tremble uncontrollably, his liver and gallbladder splitting.

He knew it was not he who was afraid, but that the pressure emitted by the martial arts imagery had shaken his mind, causing him to feel fear and terror.

He knew that if he did not shake off this state, he would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, left only for Xu Yang to kill. He poured his *Gang Qi* into the Green Water Blade as if his life depended on it, but it was already too late.

In a battle between such experts, a moment of stagnation or hesitation basically doomed one to defeat and death.

"Boom!"

The air emitted a deafening explosion. A golden hand punched through the air like a thunderbolt.

Xu Yang's gaze was cold. Looking at the terrified Song Shixian, the boiling *Gang Qi* caused the cracks on the back of his hand to hiss and bleed, but he did not care. The palm, capable of crushing mountains and breaking peaks, condensed all his cultivation of Marrow Cleansing Major Success. Carrying an unstoppable momentum, it avoided the spiritual weapon and slammed heavily onto Song Shixian's body.

"Bang!"

The force erupted like crashing waves, irresistible.

The golden palm was like a heavy hammer striking porcelain. The crimson body-protecting *Gang Qi* exploded with a *bang*, the force overflowing.

An expression of pain instantly covered Song Shixian's face, his pores cracking and bleeding in many places. He opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but before he could, the golden hand that had shattered his body-protecting *Gang Qi* had already imprinted itself on his chest with unstoppable force.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

Two muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously. Song Shixian was struck as if by lightning, his chest collapsing in response, his eyeballs bulging, instantly filled with bloodshot veins. His body was like a balloon being injected with gas, showing a tendency to inflate in an instant.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream tore through the mountains and fields. Song Shixian's eyes went black from the pain, his mind went blank, and his body flew backward off the ground, spraying blood from his mouth. He did not even notice that the Song family's ancestral treasure, the spiritual weapon Green Water Blade, had flown out of his hand. ===== CHAPTER 580 =====
