Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1379: Chapter 1153: Abandoning the Earth Platform

"Looks like... it’s really resolved?!" Niu Fen exclaimed in surprise.

The other Divine Sect experts nearby also clearly sensed the change in Lou Zhen, and were all overjoyed.

"Such... such a method, truly miraculous!"

"The curse of the High Stage Demon King was resolved in such a short time!"

"These envoys from the Great Flame, they are indeed impressive..."

All the Divine Sect disciples were filled with surprise and delight, reassessing Kong Zheng.

The mystical techniques, although not the forte of Divine Sect Sword Practitioners, even if the Taishang Sect’s top experts were to handle it, they might not necessarily suppress the strong curse of the Eighth Stage Demon King like this.

After sensing the change, Lou Zhen’s eyes brightened, and he solemnly clasped his hands towards Kong Zheng.

"Thank you, Friend Kong. Your extraordinary techniques are truly astonishing!"

Kong Zheng shook his head slightly, "The curse of such a Demon King is not easy to resolve. I only temporarily suppressed it a bit, and Sword Master Lou, you cannot fight for too long."

"That’s already very good," Lou Zhen smiled.

Though his strength was reduced, at least he could still fight, and the significance of a Ninth Stage Sword Master needs no words!

Kong Zheng said nothing more, withdrawing his Treasure Fan and stood aside.

And within moments, the countless artifact spirit lights on the Heavenly Sword Platform grew dim and began to shatter in large swathes.

Xue Qin hoisted his broad blade, fully breaking through the Heavenly Sword Platform, and retreated into the black clouds outside the mountain gate.

With the fall of the Heavenly Sword Platform, the original Three Talents Formation was left with only the Human and Earth Platforms.

The Cangtian Conglong Formation enveloping the inside and outside of the Divine Sect trembled, and its might seemed to plummet.

"Thirty percent," Yin Ju muttered to himself.

With his astonishing sensitivity to energy, Yin Ju immediately identified the decline in the formation’s power, even though the Cangtian Conglong Formation was not fully operational.

Hun Ling mused, "Thirty percent... in that case, just breaking one more Sword Platform would leave the formation with less than half its power."

Yin Ju nodded subtly. Breaking one more would suffice!

He cast a glance at Su Yuan standing on the Human Sword Platform, then shifted his gaze to the Earth Sword Platform.

"The wolf eagle of the Desert Eagle Kingdom, this person is notable," Yin Ju observed, eyeing the middle-aged man with hawk eyes.

Tong Kun whispered, "This person is notoriously fierce, and once when a Demon King under my command inadvertently offended him, it took two days and nights to escape heavily injured!"

"Is that so..." Yin Ju nodded slightly.

On the Earth Sword Platform, the battle between Lang Ying and Linghu Yao had reached a fever pitch.

At this moment, Lang Ying’s body was riddled with wounds, even his right arm had been severed, and he was engaging Linghu Yao at high speed with his left hand wielding a knife!

And Linghu Yao, who originally had the upper hand, was somewhat at a loss under the ferocious onslaught of Lang Ying’s fearless attacks.

"This guy... I didn’t expect him to be so crazy!"

Linghu Yao frowned as he looked at Lang Ying pressing ever closer and trading injuries.

It wasn’t that Linghu Yao truly feared such a wild assault and had no solution.

On the contrary, if this were an ordinary life-and-death battle, and the opponent dared to be so reckless, Linghu Yao had plenty of methods to defeat him, even at the cost of injury!

But the situation was different now.

Linghu Yao not only wanted to defeat the Demon King before him but also needed to continue defending the Earth Sword Platform!

Seemingly catching Linghu Yao’s distraction, Lang Ying’s eyes flashed coldly, suddenly closing in for a swift slash!

"Whoosh!"

The long knife broke through the defense, slashing across Linghu Yao’s body, splattering blood everywhere!

Leaning back with the force, Linghu Yao looked down at the wound on his chest, his expression sinking.

"I must resolve him quickly, or he’ll resolve me!"

At this point, Linghu Yao couldn’t afford to worry about anything else; he had to deal with the man in front of him first.

He opened his left hand, and a thick Purple Qi rose from his palm.

And in the next instant, the pursuing Lang Ying stabbed forward, piercing Linghu Yao’s chest on the spot!

"Got you!"

Lang Ying’s eyes gleamed with cold killing intent as he shook the long knife, causing the Golden Gang on the blade to surge, ready to burst forth!

But just then, Linghu Yao grabbed the long knife with his left hand, and the Purple Qi in his palm immediately suppressed the golden light about to burst out!

"Huh?!"

Lang Ying’s expression changed as he tried to withdraw his knife, but it was held tight by the Purple Qi.

The "Sticky Word Technique" of the Six Swordsmanship!

Linghu Yao raised his longsword high, the Purple Mist Sword Energy shimmering on it, and in Lang Ying’s changing expression, cleaved downward swiftly!

Instantly, the Purple Mist arced like a rainbow, and Lang Ying was struck and sent flying, blood spewing through the air, severely injured!

"Huff...!"

Lang Ying’s face turned deathly pale as he looked at his nearly bisected body, gritted his teeth, and chose to withdraw.

But having achieved a striking blow, Linghu Yao wouldn’t let him off easily; now that one enemy was gone, there would be one fewer to face later!

Pressing down on his own wound, Linghu Yao wielded his longsword, transforming into a streak of Purple Mist to chase after...

After a fierce exchange, Lang Ying’s body, now in pieces, fell from the sky.

Aside from the pierced chest, Linghu Yao had gained several more deep wounds, down to the bone.

In this death struggle, though he had slain Lang Ying, he had also been wounded again by the dying counterattack.

Linghu Yao took a deep breath, immediately raising his hand, using his fingertips imbued with Purple Mist Sword Energy like needles, to briefly seal his wounds.

But there was no time for Linghu Yao to rest; as Lang Ying was slain, another figure flew out from the rolling black clouds.

It was a burly Demon King with muscles hard as iron lumps, bare-chested, under Tong Kun’s command, the Sixth Stage Demon King Shi Badu!

Unlike Su Yuan who guarded the Human Sword Platform, Linghu Yao was already wounded, and taking him down would be a significant achievement!

"Boom!" went Shi Badu as he landed heavily on the Sword Platform, looking up at Linghu Yao, "Human, let me be the one to end you!"

Linghu Yao dared not be careless, taking a deep breath and firmly gripping his longsword to prepare for the fight.

But just then, the countless artifact lights on the Earth Sword Platform suddenly brightened, then started to decompose.

"What?!"

Both Linghu Yao and the Demon King were shocked.

Linghu Yao turned to see Lou Zhen holding an Array Talisman, dismantling the Earth Sword Formation.

"Sword Master, this...?"

"Come down," Lou Zhen called from afar.

Hearing this, Linghu Yao thought briefly and understood Lou Zhen’s intention.

At this point, Linghu Yao was already injured, and continuing would certainly lead to severe harm.

Abandoning the Earth Sword Platform would not only allow Linghu Yao’s wounds to be treated sooner and preserve his strength but also prevent any damage to his Sword Intent.

This way, Linghu Yao still had hope of breaking into the Seventh Stage soon after.

"Don’t think of escaping!"

Seeing the platform about to collapse, Shi Badu took a step forward, charging like a cannonball with a sonic boom.

But the deconstructed multitude of artifact lights exploded into endless sword light, slicing into Shi Badu, sending gold fragments flying, ringing "clang clang clang..."

Now that the platform was disassembled, there was no point in defending any longer.

Sighing quietly, Linghu Yao leapt back to Heavenly Sword Peak.
