Chapter 356: Northern Dark Chill

Northern Dark Chill!

The Kunpeng spewed cold air, freezing all the space around the black-robed swordsman.

Frost hung everywhere in the surrounding space!

The black-robed swordsman's forward charge speed plummeted to less than one-tenth, and he could no longer keep up with the several fleeing Martial Kings.

And the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, carrying a piercing detonation, seized the moment when the black-robed swordsman struggled to dodge, stabbing into his shoulder!

The black-robed swordsman's combat awareness was clearly strong enough; even so, he still dodged the vital point.

Crack!

The black-robed swordsman's actions shattered all the frost in the space, and he quickly recovered his movement.

He gazed at the small Kunpeng with a low, dark look.

This small fellow was an unexpected variable for him.

His original goal was to first kill a few outsiders, then seize the Learned Treasure Pearl and flee this place.

When the time is ripe, I'll come back to deal with this little brat.

But he never expected that this little brat, besides having extremely strong offensive ability, actually also possessed this kind of restraining method.

"Is this really the method of a sea demigod?"

The same thought arose in the hearts of the black-robed swordsman and An Jianan.

They had never come into contact with the Sea God, let alone a Kunpeng suspected of having received the Sea God's divine spark.

To them, whether it was the Sea God's power or that of a sea demigod, it was all unknown.

One must try in order to understand the opponent's abilities.

The black-robed swordsman's eyes flashed again, and three clones, identical to him as if carved from the same mold, instantly coalesced.

Two of the clones went to block the Kunpeng, while the other clone continued to pursue and kill the several Martial Kings.

He himself swiftly rushed toward the corpse of Feng Qingchen atop the hall's stairs.

However, when he reached the stairs, he discovered that Feng Qingchen's corpse had long since vanished without a trace.

The black-robed swordsman instantly felt resentful, fearing that Gu Han had already taken Feng Qingchen's corpse when he broke free from the giant whale's bonds.

And those few outsiders were merely a decoy!

The black-robed swordsman turned his body and pointed a finger from afar at Gu Han's position.

"One Slash!"

One of the black-robed swordsman's clones suddenly withered, transforming into a sword beam that seemed able to cleave the sky, shooting off into the air.

At the moment the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear touched the sword beam, it was shaken away, and even the luster on its shaft dimmed considerably!

The sword beam's momentum remained undiminished, and the Wolf of Ages immediately let out a low growl.

Visible purple ripples layered upon one another, freezing the sword beam in place ahead.

The Kunpeng extended a hand, projecting an illusory river that shattered the frozen sword beam.

"Two Slashes!"

Seeing that the first slash had not succeeded, the black-robed swordsman lowered his second finger slowly.

The second clone likewise transformed into a heaven-shaking sword beam, tearing apart the illusory river summoned by the Kunpeng and shooting toward the Kunpeng's chest.

The Kunpeng let out a low shout,

"Wind and Cloud Body Shield!"

His body instantly became the eye of a storm, with endless wind and clouds gathering from all directions, enveloping the Kunpeng within.

The sword beam slammed into the Kunpeng's body, producing an earth-shaking collision that deafened the ears.

The terrifying aftermath lifted the dome of the Hall of Knowledge, allowing the sky's sunlight to gradually pour down, shining upon the black-robed swordsman.

"Three Slashes!"

The black-robed swordsman extended his hand, pointing toward the direction of the last clone.

The seven fleeing Martial Kings, seeing this, were all shocked to the point of despair.

Even the Kunpeng, which had previously seemed invincible, could only fend off the black-robed swordsman's attacks.

How could the seven of them possibly withstand it?

However, at the instant the black-robed swordsman's third finger fell, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

A palm actually pierced straight through his body from behind, emerging from his chest!

Gorgeous formation patterns appeared on his chest, their luster like a prism, as if trying to tear apart the black-robed swordsman's body.

Boom!

The black-robed swordsman's body exploded with a bang, flying tens of meters away in the terrifying blast's aftermath.

Just as everyone felt a surge of joy, they discovered that the black-robed swordsman merely flipped and landed steadily on the ground.

Pitch-black blood kept dripping down, corroding the floor of the Hall of Knowledge.

Yet the black-robed swordsman showed no signs of dying.

"Damn, what monster is this fellow?"

Several Martial Kings, seeing this, couldn't help but curse aloud.

Being swallowed whole by a giant whale and managing to fight one's way out was already enough.

Having one's heart ripped out by a Black Tiger Strike, yet still being able to act as if nothing happened?

Even if it were a creation of the Black Tide, it couldn't possibly be like this, could it?

"Failed to kill him in one strike..."

A somewhat weary voice sounded in everyone's ears.

The group looked toward the distant hall's stairs, only then noticing that both sides had thought Feng Qingchen was already a corpse.

They actually slowly stood up on the stairs.

Feng Chenchen even clenched their hand, still unsatisfied, as if savoring that they actually failed to kill this black-robed swordsman.

In just a few breaths, the black-robed swordsman's chest had restored to normal, with no more black blood dripping.

Feng Chenchen looked at the black-robed swordsman, eyes craving death.

"Indeed, you are not an ordinary person; even as a Savior Heir, you wouldn't have such abilities."

The black-robed swordsman gave a cold laugh, as if they never imagined they would one day be forced to this point!

He placed both hands before his chest, slowly pulling them apart to either side, and the Similarly Sun Short Dagger appeared before him again.

"Since you're all here, I'll send you on your way!"

In an instant, alarm bells rang loudly; several Martial Kings, as if startled, directly drew their Qi Blood to form a shield blocking in front of them.

At the same time, they turned and ran without looking back, trying to put as much distance as possible between themselves and the black-robed swordsman.

However, everyone saw the black-robed swordsman slash open space with a single blade, and an illusory door appeared behind it.

Immediately, the black-robed swordsman stepped into the door and vanished!

Meanwhile, the giant fish-bird's Sea Tsunami Heavenly Roar belatedly arrived, blasting the spot where the black-robed swordsman had been.

Seeing the Sea Tsunami Heavenly Roar miss, the giant fish-bird hastily retracted its racial skill, lest it level the entire Hall of Knowledge.

Even so, the holy ground of the Hall of Erudition had already been shaking on the brink of collapse in their previous battle, shattered and fragmented.

After they left, saying that this place is already the ruins of the Hall of Erudition would not be an exaggeration.

Zi Ling and the others' attention was on Feng Chenchen, who was bent over, as if even their body couldn't straighten.

"Feng Chenchen, are you... alright now?"

Feng Chenchen glanced at Zi Ling lightly; this person, who had studied for many years at the Hall of Erudition, could be considered the longest-tenured Savior Heir there, and he would not forget.

"For now, I still can't die."

"What, is it Feng Yue Shan who sent you to capture me?"

Zi Ling quickly waved their hands,

"No, Teacher, you've misunderstood; we came here to communicate with the God of Reason and retrieve the God of Reason's Spark."

"I just didn't expect to be outpaced by the Black Tide."

"There's no difference between the two; let's go, capture me and return, and report back to Feng Yue Shan."

Seeing Zi Ling still standing there without moving, Feng Chenchen continued,

"The God of Reason is now within my body."
