Chapter 339: Fighting Many with One, Defeating Enemies in Succession (Ten-Thousand-Character Chapter)
Stop him!
Change formation!
Because of Du En's move, the operation of the Five Elements Profound Array immediately began to fall into chaos; amidst the mutual generation, an abrupt single instance of mutual overcoming appeared, and the endless cycle was severely obstructed, causing the five members of Xiulin to take immediate action and change formation to counter it.
Thus, rain of spears descended from the sky, which was the killing intent of the Metal element.
Clang, clang, clang! The sharp white spears were like rain, about to replace this patch of yellow earth, to hack to pieces that patch of spreading wood, in accordance with the principle of Metal overcoming Wood! However, no matter how hard they tried, they were ultimately unable to turn the page and replace it, because Du En was currently gripping a pivot point of the array, applying the secret technique of Spirit Gathering.
Furthermore, using Spirit Seeking as an auxiliary, at the moment they actively changed formation, he finally fully located the array's pulse that had just been hidden within the Five Elements.
Now, it was no longer up to them to change formation at will!
Thus, before the metal spears falling from the sky could reach their heads, a fierce fire ignited, directly melting them; it burned ever more intensely, turning into chunks of charred black, falling to the ground, and quietly merging into the yellow earth.
The Five Elements generate each other; Fire overcomes Metal, and Fire generates Earth! The more prosperous the Earth, the more the Wood grows.
Ancient trees reaching for the sky rose from the ground, and a primeval dense forest grew in an instant.
Then, they began to trample upon one another!
It turned out that the five members of Xiulin, seeing that the situation was wrong, simply went along with this trend and exerted their full strength to operate the Wood Array, attempting to use this to snatch back control! "Idiots, stop!"
A loud shout, brooking no doubt, interrupted their actions.
The result was that Du En's adding fuel to the fire did not reach its full potential; as such, the clever technique of Spirit Disturbance was unleashed, but it failed to make use of the Wood Array at its peak.
In the end, it only blew up the five members of Xiulin, blasting them into tatters, leaving them riddled with holes like a beehive.
They were not yet dead, and were cast-spelled back to the Dragon King Peak where the one who had inserted the plug was located.
Tao Shao, this great general of Xiulin—no, not just him alone, the great generals of the other three Immortal Sects—all had to shift their attention back at this moment and focus it on Du En.
In a short time, two dead and six crippled! Added to the four who died at his hands previously, it could be said that since he appeared and entered the game, he had truly broken records one after another; his individual combat record was already enough to rival Tao Shao's, and far exceeded the sum of everyone else's over the past three years.
And this actually left out Hai Zhu and Lou Shuyue! Even so, the others had to admit that this fiend was truly formidable and posed a great threat; they could no longer hesitate or be distracted, and had to strike with a heavy blow immediately!
Kill him first! As for seizing the treasure, it actually didn't have that much to do with them.
The reason was simple.
Just a moment ago, when those eight people charged out together in mid-air, wanting to entangle Du En, the leading generals of the four great Immortal Sects all used their own means in order to seize the Dragon Treasure.
On the side of the Fudong Immortal Sect, Zi Shu and Yin Hu each let out a strange cry, then raised their hands to wipe the masks of the Zodiac Earthly Branches on their faces, and immediately, a deep, profound black leaked out from the mouths that had unhinged and opened.
It was quite familiar, as if they had just seen it, causing Nangong Sheng and the others who were closely watching this side, as well as people from other Immortal Sects, to involuntarily feel a chill run down their spines.
Fudong Supreme?! Then, from that deep, profound black, a bone flew out, as if spitting out leftover scraps of bone, yet it seemed to be knocking against heaven and earth, making people subconsciously shiver and unable to help but feel reverence.
Even the Dragon King, who was lying dead, had its dying glare subconsciously drop, and the myriad of dragons that had died prostrate all pressed their heads to the ground in unison.
Remnant Bone of the Dragon Venerable!
Its appearance and existence caused the hub of this Dragon Palace to show obvious fluctuations and changes, as if the first domino had been pushed over.
Zi Shu and Yin Hu closed the unhinged mouths of their masks, looking exceptionally humble and submissive, and respectfully threw this remnant bone into the Dragon King Dao blood within the Dragon-Nurturing Blood Abyss.
It was just like a monarch returning to his country, just like a master returning home; it naturally took charge as the host, directly accelerating its descent to the bottom, without encountering the slightest obstruction.
And when the Fudong side began their actions, apart from the Luoyu side who could only watch helplessly, the people of the other three Immortal Sects, although shocked by this, were also making their own moves.
The two envoys of the Cangcang Immortal Sect, Yong Liu, jumped into a strange dance, holding a sacrificial rite, wailing and crying out strangely, like a mad shamaness dancing for the gods, extremely insane.
But unknowingly, on top of the Dragon King Peak, a circular shape appeared, as if it had always existed there; from it seeped strange, viscous black blood like asphalt, which spread out from the top of the Dragon King's head and quietly submerged into the Dragon-Nurturing Blood Abyss.
*Sss, sss, sss*—it made a sound as if corrosive liquid were flowing in, and then, that Dao blood was actually polluted, transforming into the same filthy black blood at a very fast speed, and its goal was equally clear: while affecting the Dragon Venerable's remnant bone from a distance, it headed toward the bottom of the Blood Abyss.
Nangong Sheng and the others felt their scalps go numb.
The Dragon King's corpse could not stop it, the Dragon-Nurturing Blood Abyss would likewise be transformed, and even the Dragon Venerable's remnant bone seemed to be interfered with; this was clearly another move that transcended the True Monarch level, something only a contemporary Supreme could make! Looking at the other two Immortal Sects, the Zhijing Immortal Sect and the Xiulin Immortal Sect, their actions were also very orderly, likewise throwing things inside.
Tao Shao of the Xiulin Immortal Sect threw something very ordinary: a primitive wooden block, which looked like it had been around for many years, appearing exceptionally common, yet it seemed to carry a certain nostalgia, making people feel, upon seeing it, as if it were an old object they had once held in their own hands at some point in years past.
After it was thrown down, it immediately fell silently as if returning to its original owner, submerging into the Blood Abyss without any obvious ripples.
Finally, the Zhijing Immortal Sect.
"Ah! Big Sister?"
Rui Yi directly pushed and threw her junior sister, who had been protected and carried like a startled quail, down into the Dragon-Nurturing Blood Abyss, making her widen her eyes and let out a short cry, before she fell into the Blood Abyss and lost her voice as she plummeted to the bottom.
Flames like torches ignited.
"Ahhhhh! Big Sister ahhhhh!!!"
She screamed miserably, like an evil ghost, struggling and wanting to swim up, constantly reaching out her hands toward her own sister, who was looking down from the peak with eyes full of bitterness.
However, she sank deeper and deeper, becoming more and more painful...
"Wow! This woman is truly insidious and vicious, with the heart of a scorpion!"
Jiang Ying could not help but say this, and thinking back to the previous events, she was full of resentment; if the situation were normal now, she would have to rush over directly to see if she could hang her up and beat her.
Is this the focus of attention right now?
Nangong Sheng glanced over with some helplessness, his heart filled only with a thick sense of powerlessness.
And he only felt weak.
You all really do have the handiwork of a Supreme!
That was generally the kind of thought he had.
Although it could be seen from their different performances that they were prepared, he had not expected that in these preparations, everyone would have the handiwork of a Supreme; by comparison, it only made this side feel an extraordinary sense of disparity, faintly sour and helpless.
Just as the means of the four great Immortal Sects were developing and could not be stopped at all.
*Boom, boom, boom! * The commotion of the magical artifacts self-destructing drowned out their actions, causing everyone to look over in unison, only to see the space being blown to pieces, and those three people quickly ending up with two dead and one crippled.
Suddenly everyone was shocked; even Jiang Ying, the little demoness who had been hoping for a self-destruction earlier, was dumbfounded at this moment.
How did he just blow up ten thousand of them? That was a full ten thousand! It was equivalent to the full-strength strike of ten thousand cultivators of the same rank! Can he handle it!
Thus, they shook their bodies violently, immediately realizing that something was wrong and ominous, and began to extricate themselves from their respective affairs.
It was true that they carried the handiwork of a Supreme, but the Supremes clearly would not care about their lives; after they used their handiwork, they actually had no value.
In other words, if Du En rushed up, he could kill them!
Such a formidable threat lay before them, and they could not help but be concerned; even the Twilight and Cang Envoys, who were performing their ritual dance, were thinking of resolving this quickly to escape, and thus danced even more frantically.
Then, the Five Elements Profound Array was swiftly broken through by Du En.
"Idiots, stop!"
Tao Shao's loud shout as he looked up did not prevent his side's defeat.
Amidst the booming explosions, he could only pull the five people back; they flew backward and crashed down, a scene that slapped his face like a stinging blow, causing the lead general—who had long since shed his mortal flesh and possessed a refined, inhuman appearance—to involuntarily reveal a gloomy expression.
With the array broken and the Five Elements dispersed, Du En stepped forward calmly; as his divine sense spread wantonly, the space began to ripple, and looking at the people from the other immortal sects, he said, "The handiwork of the Supremes truly leaves no one out."
Once these arrogant words were spoken, the expressions of every one of these people changed.
"Also, are you not going to continue seizing the treasures? Judging by your posture just now, didn't you all want to get a share of the spoils?"
As he spoke again, his calm tone seemed to carry contempt and disdain; this sudden display of emotion was like a sharp sword, stabbing directly into their hearts—bloody, painful, and very real.
"Roar!"
Yin Hu roared immediately, his meaning clear.
Why waste breath on him? Finish him! And so, the two of them immediately transformed, shifting from human to beast.
There is a strange beast, in shape like a tiger but with an ox's tail, its sound like a barking dog; its name is Zhi, and it loves to eat humans most of all.
Although the original version's sound is like a barking dog, in Yin Hu's view, a tiger learning to bark like a dog was truly beneath his dignity and out of character, so he had directly altered the version he practiced.
The sound of the Zhi-Tiger is determined by me! "Roar!"
The terrifying roar brought with it a wicked wind, and the fierce tiger, dozens of zhang long, stepped into the air; its momentum was wild, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty, shaking the space, moving with incredible speed, with only a mottled tiger shadow flashing by, intending to eat people on the spot without leaving a bone.
The group of magical artifacts charged forward in a frontal assault, but he was completely fearless, intending to clash head-on.
However, the others had a tacit understanding at this moment and would certainly not sit by and watch the tiger fight; thus, at this very moment, the Yong and Liu Envoys had just finished their ritual dance and immediately seized the opportunity to combine their efforts and cast their techniques from afar.
The so-called 'Yong' means to block.
The so-called 'Liu' means to flow.
The meaning of Yong-Liu is to block the flow! The secret techniques were used in tandem, applied directly to that shocking group of magical artifacts, immediately blocking the flow of their spiritual light, artifact restrictions, and magic power, causing Du En's Myriad Control Art to fail; the magical artifacts fell like rain.
Fortunately, he had reached a state of mastery in this spell, and at the final moment, relying on a frantic infusion of magic power, he offset part of the impact of the combined secret technique and pulled back ten thousand of them.
Plop, plop~ The other tens of thousands fell like rain into the deep lake of the Blood Abyss.
Perhaps because the handiwork of the Four Great Immortal Sects' Supremes was still in effect, or perhaps because the magical artifacts themselves would not be ignited by the Dragon King Dao blood, in any case, they were currently just sinking without turning into balls of fire; some were trying to rise again, but like that Junior Sister of the Limitless Realm, their struggles were in vain.
"Hahaha! You still won't die from this?!"
Yin Hu laughed wildly; facing the remaining magical artifacts, he raised a claw and swiped, shattering and scattering them, charging straight toward Du En, his ox tail lashing out behind him, tearing through the air to smash those that were still trying to tail him for a suicide attack.
Rumble, rumble~ Seeing the fierce tiger pouncing, Du En did not retreat, because Tao Shao had quietly arrived behind him, and that Rui Yi had also moved gracefully, stepping through the air to a not-so-distant side, as if to provide support, or perhaps waiting for Du En to signal cooperation, or even more likely, to block any potential explosive assistance from Nangong Sheng and Jiang Ying.
In short, the path of retreat was cut off! Then fight head-on!
Thus, the Profound Armor Giant Statue appeared!
The foundation was something he was well-versed in, but he could pour in magic power, piling it up crudely on an excessive scale until it reached the current limit of his cultivation technique's mastery.
The Azure Yellow Canon encompasses the Earth Element, and the Profound Armor Giant Statue is also an Earth Element spell.
Therefore, a giant statue nearly a hundred zhang tall stepped out into the air, wrapped in a sandstorm that blotted out the sky, and threw a punch directly, slamming fiercely into the fierce tiger's face, deforming it on the spot and knocking out several teeth.
"Well fought!"
A voice erupted from his throat; Yin Hu swiped backhand, tearing apart a corner of the sandstorm and cracking the giant statue's fist, then suddenly expanded, raising his shoulder height to a hundred zhang.
Pushing back hard from the front!
At the same time, as his ox tail lashed out, it cut through the sandstorm and slammed fiercely into the giant statue's back, smashing it into pieces, while on the recoil, he swatted away the remaining magical artifacts trying to close in for a suicide attack like flies.
Such ferocity, fully displaying the demeanor of a peerless general, made Nangong Sheng's eyes gloomy, because this fellow clearly hadn't used his full strength before, completely slacking off against him, which was truly hateful! "Eh! Where is the rat?"
Jiang Ying's words caused the Luoyu group, who were closely watching the frontal clash, to feel a shock in their hearts.
That's right, the Fudong Immortal Sect still had a Zi Shu...
"Chi chi chi, a bit too late."
Zi Shu spoke suddenly, and he was already patting Du En on the shoulder; he touched and left, reappearing at his original position atop the Dragon King Peak.
He was also transformed into a beast at this moment, but it was quite strange.
There is a beast, in shape like a Feishu rat, with white ears and a white beak; its name is Juru.
There is also a bird, in shape like a wild duck but with a rat's tail, good at climbing trees; its name is Jiegou.
One is a beast of strife and weaponry, the other is a bird that spreads plague.
The beast he had transformed into at this time had the body of a white-eared, white-beaked rat, but it had duck wings and was covered in feathers, even on its tail; it was truly exceptionally strange.
But the crowd quickly understood the reason.
He actually cultivated both methods and merged the two beasts; he was truly formidable and terrifying, worthy of his status as the first of the zodiac and a lead general of the same rank!
—Just now, taking advantage of Yin Hu's frontal assault, the Yong and Liu Envoys' blocking maneuver, Tao Shao's pressure from the rear, and the inscrutable and unsettling presence of Rui Yi—under the cover of all these circumstances, he had quietly approached Du En and already spread his notorious plague onto him.
Du En was sick!
"Cough, cough..."
High fever, sweating, coughing... even the Inexhaustible Azure Spirit Body could not resist, because Zi Shu had prepared for a long time and had brought out his trump card! They were all genius leaders of the same generation from the immortal sects; although there was a difference in quantity, it was hard to have a true difference in quality, so he could naturally cancel out Du En's spirit body advantage!
But based on the characteristics of the Inexhaustible Azure Spirit Body, it also dragged Zi Shu down, leaving him unable to perform any more violent attacks, as he needed to tightly maintain the plague method.
Seeing that Du En had been struck, the hearts of the Luoyu group tightened.
Not to mention any serious business, missions, or the like, just the fact that if even he, who could still fight, was finished, then they themselves didn't even need to be mentioned; they would certainly be wiped out along the way, dying without even a scrap left.
Nangong Sheng and Jiang Ying were about to act immediately, but Rui Yi intentionally or unintentionally stood in their line of sight, forming an invisible obstacle that made them very wary.
Tao Shao of the Rotten Forest was even more direct, turning to face them as if Du En were no longer worth his attention, intending to finish off these weaklings first.
"Roar! Die!"
Boom, boom, boom! Yin Hu erupted with fierce power at this moment, intending to kill Du En while he had the chance, pushing the Profound Armor Giant Statue until it wailed and shattered, forcing it to retreat heavily and uncontrollably.
"Jie jie jie!"
"You are truly damned!"
The Yongliu Duo stepped through the air, blocking the path with every step, knocking all the remaining thousands of Dharma artifacts down into the Blood Abyss; then, with a press from afar, the Profound Armor Colossus could not stop itself from collapsing, sinking and falling toward the Blood Abyss.
Meddlesome!
An eyesore!
Yin Hu and they looked at each other with mutual loathing, yet they did not do anything more, continuing to attack Du En together.
Strike while he is sick, take his life! Regarding this, Du En braced against his severe illness and directly cast a spell once more.
Grass and trees form a forest, casting Spirit Grafting! A forest forcibly conjured directly covered the surroundings, intending to delay the enemies' footsteps.
But because they had not even reached the level of being well-practiced, no matter how much they were forced, there was an upper limit; they could not compare to the Profound Armor Colossus and the Sandstorm Technique, and furthermore, since those two spells had just been thwarted, these naturally were also unlikely to be effective.
As soon as the forest appeared, it was swept away by the tail of Zhi Hu Niu, and the Spirit Grafting could not escape the eyes of the two envoys, being cleared away immediately.
"Hahaha, he is at his wit's end!"
Zi Shu laughed loudly, his voice full of vigor, as if the dispute and commotion further incited Du En's mind to turmoil, causing him to war against himself.
To tell the truth, he had long found Du En's calm appearance unpleasant, and he was just about to make him lose his composure at this moment, revealing his own ugly state, to satisfy his own amusement.
Then, Du En suddenly appeared before him, a crimson Guan blade in hand, slashing down fiercely at his head.
Clang! Boom! The shockwave blew Zi Shu away directly; while tumbling, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was the tail of Zhi Hu Niu breaking through the air to follow, blocking that blade for him at the critical moment!
Crack~ The crimson Guan blade cracked, then shattered, disappearing like light.
At the same time, the tail of the ox was also severed and fell, causing Yin Hu to let out an involuntary roar of pain.
"Your target, is me?"
He was somewhat slow to realize, feeling only shock and anger.
"You could say that; whether it's slaughtering him or severing your tail, both work."
Du En spoke with his usual calmness, his sickly state not yet removed, and after speaking, he could not help but cough.
However, sickness is sickness, but there was a simple method of defense that Zi Shu had not thought of at all, which he only finally perceived and confirmed at close range at this moment.
"You are actually using your Dharma power to forcibly sustain your spirit body?!"
He found this hard to believe, because this crude and simple method was clearly a massive drain on Dharma power, or rather, extremely large!
Yet, this person was still maintaining a high-intensity combat posture; this Dharma power should not be consumed like this, right?!
Was it just a moment of courage? "No! I underestimated you; it is Endless Life!"
Tao Shao turned around abruptly, sensing the clue, and could not help but be secretly alarmed, then prepared to join the battle.
Facing the enemies pouncing over in unison, Du En looked at the Profound Armor Colossus that had already fallen into the lake and nodded gently. The next moment, behind the Zhi Hu that had just turned, the Tao Shao who had just flown over, and the two envoys closing in, torches suddenly ignited with a 'whoosh'.
Capturing this scene with his divine sense, the four were greatly alarmed and turned around abruptly again, only to see the Profound Armor Colossus being ignited by the blood of the Dragon King Dao, but Du En was stubbornly relying on his endless Dharma power to maintain its existence, and he was even continuously lengthening its body; for every bit it sank and burned, it grew back by a bit.
In fact, it was also thanks to the influence of the Supreme's handiwork, otherwise, it would certainly have been impossible to maintain such a stalemate.
Thus, a torch colossus was created; it floated in the Blood Abyss, stretched out its giant hand, and slapped toward the enemies, as if wanting to pull them into the Dragon-Breeding Blood Abyss.
"Damn it, lunatic!"
Zhi Hu let out a cry and suddenly shrank its size, not daring to take the move head-on again.
Tao Shao had no choice but to increase his altitude first, choosing to avoid the sharp edge.
The Yongliu Duo... the two of them who were being specifically targeted by Du En, had a vine grow out of thin air, binding them directly and bringing them onto the torch colossus, where the flames burned over immediately.
"Awoo!"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
The two envoys barely managed to break free, almost getting burned, and even so, just a graze made them exclaim in pain.
Then, a shadow fell.
It was the Xiongshan Meteor Hammer!
Du En swung it fiercely, expanding it wantonly, truly like a majestic mountain pressing down from above, directly encompassing everyone, intending to knock them all toward the torch colossus.
Seeing this scene, Tao Shao went to meet it directly, his body turning golden, transforming in the blink of an eye into a small golden figure; it was a Buddha statue golden body, pinching the Lion Might Seal, and striking out with overwhelming force.
Thud! The towering majestic mountain was actually carried and stopped by his strength, and then, revealing a stern Vajra expression, he prepared to turn the tables and throw the mountain back, but the next moment he felt his hands empty; it was Du En changing the form of the Dharma treasure.
Lou Shuoyue's Nine-Foot White Silk!
It bound him directly on the spot to strangle him, making it difficult for him to move for a moment, which Nangong Sheng and Jiang Ying in the distance watched... without any surprise or doubt, because they had no idea what Lou Shuoyue's natal Dharma treasure was.
Having directly trapped Tao Shao, this rather conceited enemy, it was naturally impossible to actually strangle him to death; after all, that puppet body could be said to be dead to begin with.
Therefore, what was aimed at him was a move Du En hurriedly unleashed with a raised hand.
High-speed, small-sized meteorite rock!
With a 'whoosh', before the others could react, Tao Shao, who was temporarily unable to move, was smashed into the Dragon-Breeding Blood Abyss.
You actually dared to do this?!
As early as when he was bound and strangled, he had realized Du En's intention; while resisting, he was not particularly worried, because this was a Dharma treasure, a natal Dharma treasure—could he really be planning to take this natal object with him into the Dragon-Breeding Blood Abyss and have it vanish into nothingness together? The facts proved that Du En dared.
And so, with a 'whoosh', it turned into a torch along with him.
"Cough, cough!"
Du En could not help but cough up blood, but his expression remained calm.
It seemed that in his view, this was a necessary sacrifice!
The Yongliu Duo, Zi Shu, and Yin Hu were all alarmed by such resolution, but immediately felt great joy, and one after another unleashed their moves, wanting to take the opportunity to snatch Du En's life!
Their killing intent was heavy as they closed in together.
There was also Rui Yi of the Stop-Boundary Immortal Gate, who seemed to be coming over to take his place after Tao Shao fell into the lake near the Rotten Forest, to join in the siege and kill Du En.
But she still appeared indecisive, making people hesitate... Du En had never been indecisive; he directly channeled his Dharma power, and an object that had been hidden in a spatial rift while taking advantage of the self-detonation of the Dharma artifacts was now exposed—it was the Talisman Treasure, the Three-Samadhi Pagoda! In the suddenness, Rui Yi was hit.
The illusory pagoda, emitting a soft golden light, was three stories high and directly covered her, making her feel instantly calm and composed, and her originally mysterious and ethereal figure gained a touch of clear serenity.
The so-called Three-Samadhi means eliminating all distracting thoughts to make the mind calm; it is a type of Buddhist cultivation method that can exclude all external mental interference and reject all kinds of external force disturbances.
Holding one's heart and guarding the upright, external demons are hard to invade... If used in reverse, it can also make it difficult for people to run away.
"Why must Brother Du be like this?"
Rui Yi spoke with a sigh.
It seemed she wanted to distract Du En, but he did not care at all; facing the three who were attacking, he suddenly raised his head and hands, and thunder erupted instantly, forming a realm in an instant.
Thunder-Command Seal! Streaks of silvery-white thunder, all kinds of Five Elements thunder, and the convergence of yin and yang, plus wind, frost, mist, and rain—the various thunders that were only in form and never fully developed when in the hands of Jia Yao, were now unleashed by Du En and had begun to take shape.
"Roar—"
Yin Hu could not help but wail, as if meeting a nemesis; he was beaten until his skin was torn and flesh was gaping, darting left and right, wanting only to escape this thunder realm.
"Awoo!"
"Ooh!"
The two Envoys of Yong and Liu were also howling like ghosts, beaten into a wretched state by the thunder.
Just as they relied on their raw strength to endure and began to adapt, preparing to counterattack, the thunder realm suddenly vanished, and in its place appeared a large seal.
Ying Dongqing's White Cave Seal! It was as dignified as a mountain peak, dripping with streaks of Geng Metal Qi, like an invisible giant wielding a great sword, wantonly slicing through the earth, catching everyone off guard in an instant.
"Damn it, his magical treasure isn't broken at all!"
Yin Hu had half his tiger face sliced off, blood dripping, looking terrifying, yet his voice remained full of vigor; he was just darting left and right, even more wretched, getting hit from time to time, and even escaping into space was useless because that Geng Metal Qi pierced directly inside! "A thousand changes and ten thousand transformations! It's a thousand changes and ten thousand transformations!"
The Envoy of Yong was sliced until his black robe was in tatters, blood flowing out, but strangely, even so, his specific appearance was not exposed; beneath that tattered black robe, it seemed there was no one there? "Which family's thousand changes and ten thousand transformations is this fierce? If it were really this strong, everyone would go and refine it!"
The Envoy of Liu was also clamoring, but his state was better than the others.
There was also Zi Shu, who had not spoken the whole time; because he needed to maintain his secret technique, dragging Du En down, he ended up being struck by lightning first, and now sliced by Geng Metal, his heart filled with bitterness; his duck wings had long been shredded and sliced off, and he could only retreat incessantly.
Should one say it was fortunate? Because Du En's target was not him, but rather, through successive actions, he was selecting those who needed to be targeted.
The Envoy of Liu!
And so, because of the might of the magical treasure, the Torch Colossus, which they had ignored, had now appeared behind him, causing him to notice; his gaze suddenly became dull, then he gave a strange smile.
"Hehe, you want to finish me off like this?"
He smiled very sneakily; amidst the Colossus's fly-swatting motion, he was like flowing clouds and clear wind, naturally passing through; although his robe was burned a little, it was no problem at all, and as he brushed past, it extinguished, only emitting the smell of cooked meat.
"I am the Envoy of Liu; the so-called 'Liu' (flow) means movement, flowing..."
The Envoy of Liu was smug, and then, he felt a breeze brush his face.
Hmm? What is this?
Oh no...
The White Cave Seal had already dissipated, and in Du En's hand, there was an extra ring-topped small knife.
Impermanence Blade!
Dark and impermanent, without fixed form, unconstrained by common logic.
In one stroke, it blew the Envoy of Liu's magic power into chaos, scattered his thoughts, and sent his body flying, delivering him into the embrace of the Torch Colossus.
"Ah!!!"
A scream rang out immediately; the torch had gained fresh fuel, burning fiercely, making it hard to escape.
But because of this, he was temporarily unable to move, as he needed to trap and kill the Envoy of Liu! After all, this was not truly falling into the Deep Lake of Dao Blood; given his methods, if he let go, it was still possible for him to escape!
"Damn it!"
The Envoy of Yong, due to his technique, quickly regained his senses and immediately pressed his hand into the void.
"I am the Envoy of Yong, the one who blocks; the vital point of your magical treasure is brilliance, so I will block your light!"
Blocked!
This secret technique, which could be called a Dao method, was exerted with all his might, and it actually caused the Impermanence Blade to shatter, unable to re-condense for a time.
If he had brought out the main body, he would have feared no such situation, because the main body of the magical treasure, that change of the Green Dark Palace, occurred within the palace and possessed sufficient resistance to external influence.
However, Du En did not do so, but instead took the opportunity to decisively cast a spell: ultra-high-speed, small-sized meteorite rock bombardment!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Meteorite rocks, each five zhang in size, launched a dense attack at the Envoy of Yong, who was casting a spell and whose movements were restricted just like Zi Shu's! "Wah wah wah! You are truly rude and presumptuous! If you have the ability, don't play such tricks!"
He screamed repeatedly, yet he did not get hit, relying on small-scale spatial movement to always narrowly avoid them, letting the meteorites only fall into the Deep Lake of Dao Blood, causing some ripples; in reality, he was completely at ease, paying him back in his own coin! Du En held back Zi Shu and also held back the Envoy of Yong, but how could the Envoy of Yong not counter-drag? The more anxious he was and the more useless effort he made, the more it proved that he had truly seized his vital point! Moreover, this was not a grand and upright one-on-one fight! Well done!
Yin Hu thought to himself, taking advantage of the Envoy of Yong's containment to signal Zi Shu to exert his full power, while he himself no longer held back, directly unleashing a secret technique.
"Awoo!!!"
Amidst a heaven-shaking painful cry, the already blood-drenched Swine-Tiger suddenly grew larger again, reaching the point where it could easily crush a hundred-zhang colossus; at the same time, its flesh and blood began to squirm, and unexpectedly, a large mass of flesh and blood flowed down with a splash.
One after another, small-sized blood-colored Swine-Tigers, only a zhang long, appeared with human faces, each one different.
This was a secret technique of ultimate meaning, derived from fusing a demonic art commonly known to tiger-type demonic beasts—the essence of "acting as a tiger's accomplice"—and combining it with his own Swine-Tiger technique.
Flesh and Blood Accomplice Tigers! For this, he killed two hundred thousand people, two hundred thousand low-level cultivators, using them as bait and refining them as primitive accomplice ghosts; the pain was extreme, no less than the soul-refining insect-devouring act of the Twilight Firmament Immortal Sect.
At this moment, two hundred thousand Flesh and Blood Accomplice Tigers emerged together, the momentum vast; compared to Du En's Ten Thousand Control Art, it was even more terrifying, rushing through the air to pile up and kill him!
Even if your spiritual body is inexhaustible and your magic power is endless, you are ultimately limited by your realm and talent; how can you resist my two hundred thousand Flesh and Blood Accomplice Tigers?!
Yin Hu was cruel, Zi Shu was mocking, and the Envoy of Yong was laughing strangely; everything seemed already destined! Thus, Nangong Sheng directly threw the Battle Spear, and Jiang Ying leaped up, swinging her fist to give it a second acceleration.
Space shattered, shockingly fast, capable of directly blasting apart Yin Hu, who was now only a skeleton after unleashing his secret technique, thereby stopping the continued maintenance of his technique and causing the Accomplice Tigers to lose control and kill each other.
However, this fatal spear, brewed by the two for a long time, was blocked and knocked back by Tao Shao, who had suddenly appeared at just the right moment! He hadn't died at all!
Seeing that Du En was on the verge of death, it was naturally impossible to let external factors interfere, so he broke out of the lake covered in blood and fire, formed the Immovable Seal, like an Immovable Vajra, directly cutting off one's path of life, intending to send him to meet the true Buddha! "Damn it!"
"Abominable!"
Facing Tao Shao, who looked down with a cold gaze like a ruthless god-Buddha, Nangong Sheng and Jiang Ying were both grim; one took back the slightly cracked Battle Spear, and the other was furious, about to rush out to fight with a heavy burden.
Even if she had a supreme physical body—no, it should be said, precisely because she had a supreme physical body, the impact was severe.
—The body's instinct surpassed her soul and magic power, so that just to straighten out her body, which only wanted to escape and submit, she had to spend eighty percent of her energy, and there was also the mental pressure.
It could be said that if it weren't for her previous rationality in refining her natal magical treasure into a type that protects the soul and guards the infant, she would have long been like the others from Falling Feather, completely soft-legged.
Tao Shao naturally could see that these two were already unable to interfere in the battle, so he was very arrogant and simply turned around, wanting to see Du En die with his own eyes, while simultaneously waving his hand to shatter the Three Treasures Pagoda that was trapping Rui Yi from afar.
Although it is a puppet body, it possesses a full set of Buddhist methods, so it can naturally and easily resolve that Samadhi Tower which shares the same origin as Buddhism.
However, what was seen in the eyes was not the defeat and death of Du En, but the scene of the Flesh-and-Blood Chang Tigers being forcibly pressed out of their void-evasion, unable to stop themselves from falling downward.
Something is falling!
Tao Shao suddenly raised his head to look.
He only saw a massive meteorite, heavily pressing down, causing that lake of Dao blood to begin to show a layer of pressure marks.
The Torch Colossus collapsed directly, entering the lake together with the Flow Envoy; it had already been burned almost completely, and without the means of Tao Shao, it could not resist the burning of the Dao blood.
The Yong Envoy had no time to lament or sigh over the miserable death of a fellow sect member, because he himself was also a target of the meteorite's pressure; at this moment, he either had to give up the containment of Du En, or hold on firmly...
"You of the Rotten Forest, why haven't you made a move yet?!"
"Do not command me."
Tao Shao was about to step forward to shoulder the meteorite.
But at this moment, Du En released the ten thousand Tier 4 magical artifacts he had kept at the bottom of his chest, using their self-detonation to clear a path, directly teleporting in front of him, covering Rui Yi in the process, and then followed it up with continuous self-detonations.
"Damn it! He still has magical artifacts..."
Tao Shao's cursing was drowned out, and together with Rui Yi, who only wanted to sigh, he had no choice but to take this move first.
Although Du En's body suffered backlash from the accumulation of pressure, making his condition appear even worse—practically on his last breath—the meteorite now had no one left to block it, plummeting down and erupting with might.
"Woo—"
The Flesh-and-Blood Chang Tigers wailed in unison.
"Roar!"
Yin Hu roared toward the sky, signaling Zi Shu.
Its remaining strength immediately shifted targets.
Stirring strife, inciting conflict, adding frenzy! It had no effect on Du En's side and could not disturb his mind, but when used on fellow sect members, the secret technique connected, immediately triggering a frenzy that caused the Giant Bone Tigers to drive the Flesh-and-Blood Chang Tigers to burst upward, intending to hold up the five-hundred-zhang meteorite strike.
"Good, good, good! You go ahead, I will handle the containment!"
The Yong Envoy was overjoyed and immediately exerted himself even more, determined to drag Du En down to the death.
To this, Du En only said: "Who said I only prepared one?"
Hm?!! The Yong Envoy's joyful voice suddenly stalled.
Because on the other side, above the area where the magical artifacts self-detonated, another meteorite emerged from the darkness and began to plummet; he had never thought that mere self-detonations like those could kill those two, so he had left one for them.
And since he had the spare capacity to leave one, he could naturally do as many as he wanted here!
"Ah!"
The Yong Envoy let out a loud cry, directly withdrawing his technique and his body, running away with incredible speed.
He dared not gamble! In any case, there was still Tao Shao; that guy could even run out after falling into the deep lake of Dao blood, so let them go dog-eat-dog first.
With his withdrawal, the state of Du En's side eased slightly, and he immediately turned his gaze toward Zi Shu.
This rat was immediately terrified and could not help but step back, only to discover that, unknowingly, there was a cliff and precipice behind him—the edge of the Dragon Head.
"You, you, how on earth did you do it?"
Being a leading general among his peers, Zi Shu barely stabilized his mind, trying his best to maintain his secret technique while asking his question, attempting to contain and divert attention.
At the same time, in fact, he was truly curious and concerned about how Du En had managed to hide from everyone and prepare and brew so many meteorites in the sky.
With the amount of magical power required for that size and power, even if Du En's magical power were endless, he shouldn't have had that much output capacity! After all, they had just attacked him in a group; it was impossible to give him any leeway to disperse his magical power...
"Because none of you dared to look up at the sky, I have been silently brewing them since the moment I stepped into the Dragon Palace main hall."
Du En only said this calmly.
"Dare not, look up, at the sky?"
Zi Shu recited these words, suddenly realizing, and was even more terrified! Why did they not dare to look up at the sky even after arriving in this Dragon Palace main hall? The Fallen Feather Heavenly Scar, the supreme great power! Fear was carved into their souls; they absolutely dared not look up...
"By comparison, that Hai Zhu is stronger than all of you; he still dared to look, even in a situation where he had no choice but to look."
Du En commented thus, with his back to the large group of Yin Hu.
In the eyes of the even more terrified Zi Shu, there was only the meteorite falling, as if to destroy the world; the mere two hundred thousand Flesh-and-Blood Chang Tigers instantly turned into paste, falling into the deep lake with a splash, creating ripples and turning into torches.
Yin Hu's massive, frenzied Swine-Tiger body was also suffering from continuous bone fractures at this moment, which was quite gruesome; it sounded like a wail, and under his desperate efforts, with other Chang Tigers acting as cushions, he actually managed to smash the meteorite.
Fragments smashed into the blood lake, causing its ripples to never cease.
Then, Yin Hu, whose frenzy was gradually wearing off, saw the scene above and behind the fragments.
There were four more following!? "I..."
There was no time to vent the emotions in his heart; the following meteorites had already fallen, directly smashing his bones into powder and his mind into pieces, crushing him and carrying him as he crashed heavily into the Dragon-Bearing Blood Abyss, triggering waves of shocking billows, followed by bursts of fire.
Yin Hu, deceased.
