Chapter 638 - 314: Returned to Original Form!
Chapter 638: Chapter 314: Returned to Original Form!
“Danger!”
Having experienced countless life-and-death battles, coupled with his powerful soul power perception, Luo Cheng instinctively sensed a crisis the moment he arrived above the corpse. He activated his Protective Essence Energy at once, and beneath his feet, an Essence Energy Vortex began to form.
Boom!
The Essence Energy Vortex exploded with a roar, causing Luo Cheng’s speed to increase abruptly, like a streak of lightning, shooting out.
Almost simultaneously!
Shiiiit!
The corpses on the ground suddenly split apart, and a strikingly astonishing pitch-black Sword Qi soared into the sky, slicing a large hole through the thick ominous clouds!
Luo Cheng was knocked unsteady by the remaining waves of Sword Qi. Although not injured, he was infuriated by the ambush, nearly falling into the trap, as he locked his sharp gaze on the direction from which the Sword Qi rose.
“Who is it hiding? Show yourself!”
Without saying more, Luo Cheng swung his sword in a slash.
Boom!
The ground cracked open, and a figure shot out.
It was a young swordsman dressed in black, in his early twenties, with a face as pale as paper, devoid of any blood color, giving off a sinister aura. His presence was elusive, with hidden murderous intent.
Luo Cheng noticed the Xuanyuan Sect Inner Sect Disciple Token on the young man’s waist and his sharp Sword Momentum, his eyes flashed.
“You are Qi Yu, ranked second on the Xuanhe List! I remember you’re not a Crown Prince Hall member. Could it be that you’re here for the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill?”
In the entire Xuanyuan Sect Inner Sect, there are hundreds of thousands of swordsmen, but only one swordsman has comprehended Eighty Percent Sword Intent and has such strength, ranked second among the Top Ten Seed Disciples, the number one swordsman of the Inner Sect, Qi Yu!
Of course, this title of the number one swordsman in the Inner Sect is in the past, as he has been replaced by Luo Cheng!
Qi Yu stood in mid-air, coldly watching Luo Cheng, his tone sinister, “You could actually perceive my sword move. How is that possible? Did you discover me earlier?”
Qi Yu had been observing Luo Cheng’s movements from afar, deliberately hiding beneath the corpse to conceal his presence, intending to unleash a killer sword move!
He initially thought this sword move was enough to take Luo Cheng’s life, or at least severely injure him. However, the result was completely unexpected, as Luo Cheng seemed to have anticipated it and effortlessly evaded the killer sword move!
“None of that matters.”
Luo Cheng shook his head, looking at Qi Yu, his voice icy: “You’re not a Crown Prince Hall member, and we had no quarrel, yet you chose to attack me. I can’t let you go. Sever one of your arms, and I’ll give you a chance, sparing your life.”
“Haha, spare my life! Such arrogance!”
Qi Yu let out a sinister laugh, staring at Luo Cheng, his eyes gleaming like a venomous snake in the dark:
“To be honest with you, even without the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill, I intend to kill you today. You have comprehended the Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype, and now rumors surrond you as the number one swordsman of the Inner Sect. I want everyone to clearly see who truly is the number one swordsman!”
Qi Yu voluntarily took on the task of killing Luo Cheng. The Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill was just one aspect; he could no longer tolerate a young man who awakened a Wasted Martial Soul overshadowing him! Even becoming a Supreme Elder’s Closed-door Disciple!
To him, all this was something Luo Cheng was utterly undeserving of!
“Today, I will return you to your original form!”
With a cold shout, Qi Yu directly attacked, his long sword emitting strands of black Sword Qi, slashing out.
Shiiiit!
Countless black Sword Qi shot out like numerous black rays, instantly engulfing Luo Cheng!
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed, and at Luo Cheng’s location, the air currents raged wildly, illuminating patches of bright white lightning, constantly booming.
“Xuanyuan Sect Inner Sect Second Disciple Qi Yu, he has actually attacked Luo Cheng!”
“I heard the Eighth Prince, Jin Min, used a Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill as a bounty for Luo Cheng’s head. I had some doubts before, but now it seems it’s undeniably true!”
“Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill! What a grand reward indeed!”
“Qi Yu is ranked second on the Xuanhe List, with a comprehension of Eighty Percent Sword Intent Prototype. His Swordsmanship is insidious and ruthless. Luo Cheng might escape this ordeal!”
“A great reward inspires bravery! That Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill is enough to buy ten of Luo Cheng’s lives!”
The commotion attracted many people’s attention, and upon seeing Qi Yu attempting to kill Luo Cheng, discussions erupted.
At this moment.
Bang!
A sound of intense vibration rose from the chaotic area, clearing away all the smoke. Luo Cheng’s figure emerged from within, completely enveloped in a towering tripod with three feet and two ears, completely untouched.
What!
Qi Yu’s pupils contracted sharply.
Luo Cheng looked indifferently at Qi Yu: “Since you’ve given up your only chance to live, all I can do is send you on your way.”
“Haha! Blocking just one of my sword moves, you seem overly arrogant, too happy early! I’ll let you witness the true power of my Ghost Shadow Nine Extremes Sword!”
Qi Yu let out a sinister laugh and then directly released his Eight-star Martial Soul, distorting the air around him into pitch-black shadows.
The shadow figures bore some resemblance to Qi Yu, swirling about, obscuring the sunlight, casting everything into darkness, even emitting wails and howls like ghosts and wolves, unsettling one’s mind.
Buzz!
Qi Yu’s footsteps shook, his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood, reappearing split into five, surrounding Luo Cheng.
“Ghost Shadow Five Flashes! Ghost Shadow Instant Kill!”
The faces of the five Qi Yus, shrouded in black shadows, all displayed a hideous smile, simultaneously wielding their swords, aiming to hack Luo Cheng to pieces.
Buzzzz…
Strands of black Sword Qi, seemingly endless, making the area within a hundred meters around Luo Cheng pitch black. With the support of Eighty Percent Sword Intent Prototype, each Sword Qi was razor-sharp, seemingly wanting to completely tear apart the entire space!
It seemed that Luo Cheng would soon be swallowed by the black Sword Qi.
At the next moment.
A brilliant flash appeared in Luo Cheng’s eyes, a terrifying killing intent, accompanied by peerless sharpness, erupted suddenly. It was as if the heavens and earth saw a real and illusory crimson sword shadow, its Sword Momentum so powerful that it caused the entire space to tremble, the earth and sky resonating!
“Divine Wind Absolute Kill!”
With a sweep of the Thunder Hidden Sword, countless Sword Qi resonated collectively, the air currents violently fluctuated, transforming into a massive tornado pillar, rapidly expanding, traversing outward with Luo Cheng at the center.
When the endless black Sword Qi came into contact with the tornado pillar, it was instantly drawn in, like clay oxen entering the sea, vanishing without a trace!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four human-shaped shadows were successively shredded by the Sword Qi Tornado, leaving only the true form of Qi Yu. His eyes widened, decisively employing his movement technique with utmost resolve, transforming into shadows, retreating swiftly.
However, he was ultimately a moment too late.
Slash!
The Tornado Sword Energy grazed him, accompanied by a brutal tearing sound, and Qi Yu’s arm and leg, along with half his body, were completely shredded, followed by an extremely shrill scream.
Bang!
Only half of his body crashed heavily to the ground, Qi Yu’s deathly pale face now even whiter than paper, with no trace of blood.
“Nine Percent Sword Intent Late Stage… Cough! Just the Sword Intent Prototype, how could it contain such powerful killing intent… Cough! Even a true Sword Intent shouldn’t be possible…”
Qi Yu stared at Luo Cheng, voicing deep doubts from his heart, spewing mouthfuls of blood with every word, until his gaze became entirely dark, losing all vitality!
