Chapter 138

Two half-step Life Pool Realm experts instantly inflicted heavy injuries on Iron Great Sword.

Iron Great Sword suddenly realized that Wu Tie was telling the truth—these two fellow disciples of the Reception Hall truly wanted to kill him!

After three hundred years as a mercenary, the combat instinct forged in blood and carnage instantly shattered his trust in his fellow disciples and his loyalty to the sect. Iron Great Sword's survival instinct blazed fiercely amid the agony.

【Hoo………………hee………………】!

Iron Great Sword took a deep breath; a vortex of heaven-and-earth primordial energy suddenly appeared above his head, and with one long inhalation he instantly sucked dry all the air within a radius of several nearby streets.

His broken ribs emitted a piercing impact sound, then knitted themselves back together one by one, the cracks vanishing instantly.

The pulverized flesh and blood regenerated rapidly, strands of Blood Light coiling around his wounds; in less than a breath, Iron Great Sword's injuries were completely healed, and thereafter a faint layer of gold appeared over his deep‑silver skin.

"Six Paths Golden Body!" the two half-step Life Pool Realm experts who had ambushed and wounded Iron Great Sword exclaimed in unison, their faces as if they had seen a ghost.

"Six Paths Golden Body!" Iron Great Sword snarled through gritted teeth: "You never expected that during this closed‑door cultivation I had the fortune to enter the Ancestral Master's Cave!"

The two half-step Life Pool Realm experts of the Six Paths Palace turned ashen, looking like corpses. The Ancestral Master's Cave of the Six Paths Palace is a tremendous opportunity; any disciple who gains entry either becomes the Palace Lord, the head of the Transmission Hall, or the head of the Elder Hall.

Those three positions are the Six Paths Palace's three highest thrones, ordinarily dreaded beings known as the Three Honored Gods of the Six Paths.

And yet such a Iron Great Sword, brimming with limitless future and potential, was actually traded away by Wu Tie for a mere Arhat Subduing Demon Blade? It's… absurd, ludicrous…

In the time it took to utter a few words, as the two half-step Life Pool Realm Six Paths Palace experts had just flashed a few thoughts in their minds, Iron Great Sword's heavy sword let out a brutal tearing sound, bringing forth icy light that instantly ripped open their bodies.

Four arms, four legs, together with two heads…

With a 'pfft', a single strike was enough—Iron Great Sword beheaded two half-step Life Pool Realm experts whose cultivation matched his own.

Although also at the half-step Life Pool Realm, Iron Great Sword, having preliminarily cultivated the Six Paths Golden Body, possessed more than ten times the strength of those two unlucky foes, making an instant kill inevitable.

It was only this brief delay; Wu Tie, brandishing the White Tiger Rend, rushed past Iron Great Sword and went to meet the last Reception Hall half-step Life Pool Realm expert standing directly ahead.

Wu Tie stood two meters tall, facing a three‑meter‑tall burly giant; their auras were stern as mountains, colliding and sending low thunder rumbling through the void, yet Wu Tie's aura showed no sign of yielding.

Furthermore, Wu Tie activated the Mighty God Demon Technique, his aura surging; the clash of their qi forced the giant, despite being over ten meters away, to stagger backward three steps.

The giant's face turned ashen.

He could barely tell that Wu Tie's aura was pure and simple, clearly that of the first level of the Chonglou Realm. For one knows that each breakthrough in the Chonglou Realm makes the aura less simple, growing instead rich, complex, and ever‑changing, as more divine abilities and secret arts meld into it.

Thus, Wu Tie is merely at the first level of the Chonglou Realm.

He actually managed to suppress a half‑step Life Pool Realm expert like himself with sheer aura!

A half‑step Life Pool Realm expert is a powerhouse who stands above the thirty‑third level of the Chonglou Realm, with one foot already stepped into the Life Pool Realm.

How could Wu Tie possibly crush me by crossing thirty‑two levels? It makes no sense!

"Die!" the giant sprang up, right hand clenched into a fist, legs in a front‑back stance, and threw his full‑strength punch straight at Wu Tie's head.

Wu Tie's eyes lit up—this was a move from the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist, the Mighty Vajra Dragon‑Capturing Hand!

This move is extraordinarily exquisite; though it looks like one cannot maneuver in midair, in reality the body becomes like a flood dragon, able to adapt on the fly, seize the opponent's weak point and shift techniques instantly—appearing to overwhelm with force, yet actually winning through skill.

It was obvious that this fellow had been terrified by Wu Tie's fearsome aura; he preferred to fight with technique rather than clash head‑on.

Thus, this technique keeps ninety percent of its power stored within the body, ready for further changes, while only a true ten percent is released outward to meet the enemy.

"Fool." Wu Tie snorted coldly, then he drove the White Tiger Rend heavily into the ground, its tip tilted forward sixty degrees.

The invisible force field released, an invisible power locked onto the giant's legs and yanked them downward violently.

The giant was already not far in front of Wu Tie when his legs suddenly sank, his body spinning out of control downward. With a 'pfft', his forehead struck the tip of the White Tiger Rend, which easily pierced his skull.

Wu Tie retracted the White Tiger Rend; behind him, Lu Ji came charging on a metallic spider, firing an explosive round that blasted into the giant's head.

With a 'bang', blood and brain matter sprayed everywhere; Wu Tie hastily wrapped himself in an invisible force field, preventing the gore from hitting him. He roared angrily at Lu Ji: "He's already dead, dead, dead—do you understand?"

Lu Ji bared his teeth in a grin; his petite frame seemed possessed by a demon king as he waved his right hand and fired another explosive round.

This cunning fellow's shot happened to strike a Six Paths Palace disciple at the Sensing Mystery Realm.

With a deafening 'boom', the disciple's chest exploded into a bowl‑sized hole, his body hurled dozens of meters away, blood gushing from the wound—clearly he was not going to survive.

Lu Ji swiftly loaded two more rounds into his rifle and shouted loudly at Wu Tie: "Lord Wu Tie, charge ahead, charge, charge!"

Wu Tie glared at Lu Ji…

Just what kind of bullying did this kid suffer while he was in the Lu family?

As the saying goes, 'whoever wields a lethal weapon harbors murderous intent'; Wu Tie gave him some extremely lethal design schematics, and with this group of strong companions, the boy is practically turning into a demon.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the witch maiden perched on Wu Tie's shoulder shouted gleefully.

She waved her Wind and Cloud Banner wildly; instantly, gales howled and smoke clouds roiled around them, distorting light and shadow so that the Six Paths Palace disciples nearby lost sight of Wu Tie and his companions altogether.

The witch maiden flicked her left hand; the Moon Scar shot forth soundlessly, a blade of cold light slicing through the air—before many Six Paths Palace disciples could even locate the enemy, their necks were cut by the keen Moon Scar, blood spurting like a spring.

Wu Tie glanced at the blood‑soaked Iron Great Sword and bellowed: "Great Sword, let's go… they want to kill you, why are you just standing there?"

Iron Great Sword shuddered, gazed at the two Six Paths Palace experts he had torn apart on the ground, and gave a faint smile: "Yeah, I'm no longer a Six Paths Palace disciple… ha, hahahaha!"

With a 'boom', Stone Fly, relying on the immense strength of his bulk, swung his spiked club and sent several Six Paths Palace disciples who couldn't see the enemy flying; he jiggled his fatty frame and hurried after Wu Tie.

Yan Hanlu closely followed Wu Tie's heels, her two finely forged sabers dancing up and down, leaving shallow cuts on the bodies of the Six Paths Palace disciples.

Yan Hanlu knew her cultivation was insufficient to inflict real damage on those thick‑skinned Six Paths Palace disciples; she didn't aim to kill in one blow, only to break skin and draw blood, which was easy for her.

The crucial point is that her blades were coated with rotten bone marrow meticulously prepared by Old Bai.

Furthermore, after Wu Tie's demonic modification, the poison potency of that rotten bone marrow was increased tenfold or more—enough that even a Chonglou Realm expert could not withstand it.

One could see Six Paths Palace disciples after disciple wailing as they collapsed, their wounds rapidly festering and oozing pus; within a few breaths the rot reached the bone, which turned black and decayed, the toxin swiftly invading the marrow and rushing through the body.

Yan Hanlu's eyes flashed with cold light; her two sabers whirled in a hundred‑meter radius around her, and Six Paths Palace disciples kept screaming as they fell.

Wu Tie charged forward, gripping the White Tiger Rend.

Over a hundred Six Paths Palace disciples barred his way, most of them Chonglou Realm experts.

Without any fancy moves, Wu Tie simply gripped his spear with both hands; each step he took, the White Tiger Rend thrust forward.

The simplest thrust, the most brutal thrust—the White Tiger Rend emitted spine‑tingling tiger roars, shooting straight white light ahead in fierce stabs.

Wu Tie's spear technique is very simple; the Six Paths Palace disciples easily judged that he was merely making a straight thrust.

They raised their heavy shields, hoping to block Wu Tie and his spear.

The 3,600,000‑jin White Tiger Split, Wu Tie activates the Great Strength God‑Devil Method; over 100 million jin of bodily strength, under the bolster of the Great Strength God‑Devil Method, as the mana burns, Wu Tie's erupting strength exceeds 1 billion jin!

Where the spear passes, shields shatter, longswords shatter, heavy swords shatter, armor shatters, human bodies shatter.

Nothing can withstand Wu Tie's seemingly simple casual jab.

Wu Tie's aura and the White Tiger Split's aura perfectly merge, a mighty battlefield killing aura surges straight into the void.

This is the White Tiger's predation, this is the White Tiger's hunt; I utterly disdain using skill against you, anyway, you are weaker than me…… because you are weaker, I kill you, you cannot block, you cannot block!

No matter if you are a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple, one spear strike, shatter.

No matter if you are a Sensing Mystery Realm disciple, one spear strike, shatter.

No matter if you are a Chonglou Realm disciple, one spear strike, shatter.

Shields, shatter.

Swords and spears, shatter.

Armor, shatter.

Everything is shattered, the white cold light thrusts straight; if you can block it, you also shatter, if you cannot block it, you also shatter. Overbearing power, overbearing weight, overbearing crushing method, overbearing absolute confidence of victory.

Just like this White Tiger Split spear, straight, staunch, ever‑forward.

Wu Tie suddenly recalled a line Old Tie had told him: "This White Tiger Split treasure…… never reasons. What reason is there to speak? Anyway, whoever stands before it must be a corpse."

There's no reason to speak……

Wu Tie burst out laughing "haha", his spear speed grew faster and faster, his walking speed grew faster and faster. One step, one spear; one spear kills one person; when he had taken 128 steps, the 128 Six Paths Palace disciples blocking his way had already been slain to the last.

"Damn it!" A shrill angry roar came from afar, with a "boom" huge sound, Li Meng, clad in golden heavy armor and gripping a dragon‑headed staff with both hands, heavily fell before Wu Tie.

Behind him, several high‑ranking members of the Reception Hall fell one after another, each a peak Chonglou Realm expert or even a half‑step Life Pool Realm master.

"You brat, you dare, you dare……" Li Meng gazed at the vast limbs and severed arms on the ground, his body swayed, and he suddenly spat blood.

These people are the core lineage of his Reception Hall, many of them are elite descendants of the Li family.

They were like chickens and dogs being slaughtered, massacred on the Six Paths Palace's territory.

After this battle, the Reception Hall's strength is at least halved, not to mention how the kin of those dead and wounded disciples will view him, the chief of the Reception Hall.

"You, you, you, what a ruthless heart, what a dark hand."

Li Meng looked at those corpses on the ground, he couldn't figure out what was happening; Wu Tie's hand clearly held a spear, why did these bodies look as if they'd been hacked thousands of times by a murderous maniac with a cleaver?

Wu Tie had already entered some profound and unfathomable realm; the golden light cluster at his brow rapidly dissipated, his mana rapidly burning.

The Great Strength God‑Devil Method turned over and over; Wu Tie strode forward with large steps, ever‑forward, like the White Tiger Split—staunch and hard, preferring to break rather than yield, never retreating.

"Kill!" Wu Tie let out a great shout, the White Tiger Split thrust straight toward Li Meng.

Li Meng let out a hoarse angry roar, he exerted all his strength, likewise bringing down his staff at Wu Tie.

The Six Paths Palace disciples' cultivation method is even more accustomed to hard clashes; they never play fancy tricks on the battlefield against enemies. What they like most is to fight desperately!

The spear and the staff violently collided.

With a huge bang, a section of the staff exploded into fragments; the White Tiger Split suffered no damage, carrying a piercing tiger roar as it thrust straight forward.

Li Meng discarded the broken half‑staff beneath his feet, turned, and unleashed the magnificent Vajra Subjugation Demon Fist, hoping to evade Wu Tie's spear and contend with him using fist techniques.

Every move and form of the Vajra Subjugation Demon Fist lay fully in Wu Tie's mind.

As Li Meng's move came out, Wu Tie's spear followed with a sweep, a perfect arc traced, the spear tip tore through Li Meng's golden heavy armor, and the spear thrust forward again.

Li Meng let out an angry roar, a fist smashed down toward Wu Tie's head.

Behind him, the Iron Great Sword surged forth, likewise a punch slammed into Li Meng's fist, solidly blocking this punch.

The spearhead of the White Tiger Split shattered Li Meng's chest, ruthlessly piercing through his body.

Wu Tie shook both arms, Li Meng's body exploded into fragments just like the other Six Paths Palace disciples.

The Six Paths Palace disciples behind Li Meng trembled all over; suddenly a shout, they turned and fled, thereafter no one dared to fight Wu Tie.

At the instant Li Meng's body burst apart, a scene from many years ago suddenly flashed in his mind.

He muttered lowly: "Indeed, I am a short‑lived fate…… damn it, old witch……"
