Chapter 376 - Asura
Chapter 376 Asura
Chen Moxue thought about many possibilities.
Li Tianlan was very strong, for he had the battle strength of the Invincible Realm at the age of 22. If he had the chance to fight one person per time alone, no one was his match in this maneuver.
Chen Moxue knew very well that even if he had Heaven Punishment Sword Formation, it was difficult for him to really send Li Tianlan to hell.
After all, his strength was slightly worse.
And the strength of the people who set up the sword formation was slightly worse, too.
The real Heaven Punishment Sword Formation had a real master at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm as the core, two masters of the Thunder-shocking Realm who offered aid, and the other masters of the Fire-flaming Realm who burst out with all their strength. The condensed sword intent of the Heaven Punishment Sword was almost equal to that of the blow of a top Half-step Invincible Realm master with all his might.
Now, the strength of the Heaven Punishment Sword Formation formed by Chen Moxue was uneven. He himself was a long way from the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. The sword stroke of such a sword formation could exert power infinitely close to Half-step Invincible Realm at most.
Naturally, such a sword stroke couldn’t kill Li Tianlan.
But in Chen Moxue’s prediction, this sword stroke could cause Li Tianlan serious injuries, at worst.
After all, according to the information they received, Li Tianlan had fought Gu Qianchuan and Gu Xingyun a few days ago, and he was injured. He was not at his best at all.
Even if Li Tianlan broke their sword formation, he would definitely pay the price.
Chen Moxue had thought about too many pictures after Li Tianlan was injured.
Li Tianlan was indeed injured right now.
Blood dripped along the corner of Li Tianlan’s mouth, and the Sword Energy of the Heaven Punishment Sword seemed to tear the skin on his arm. Blackish red blood ran down the cuffs, staining his entire palm.
Li Tianlan’s spirit did not decline at all. Instead, he became crazy and cold.
He squeezed his palm slightly, holding Chen Moxue’s neck, and lifted him directly.
Chen Moxue’s complexion gradually turned purple. He was breathing hard and struggling subconsciously.
In his sight, Li Tianlan’s eyes were bloodshot, and the dense blood streaks occupied the whites of his eyes.
His eyes were scarlet.
It was unspeakable rage and devilishness.
Wild, cold, fierce, and irritable, without the so-called reason and thinking. At this moment, Li Tianlan revealed unspeakable strangeness and evil.
Chen Moxue directly spat out a mouthful of blood. He wanted to laugh, but he nursed a grievance in his heart.
What did the Heaven Punishment Sword Formation, which was regarded by them as one of the trump cards in the maneuver, do?
It just left Li Tianlan some painless injuries.
Oh, maybe it broke a branch?
Were those the results?
What made Chen Moxue feel unhappy the most was that the so-called Heaven Punishment Sword Formation shattered when its starting position was completed.
No words could describe the absurdity in Chen Moxue’s heart.
When the shadow of the giant sword fell toward Li Tianlan like a flowing light, the sword intent of the Shattering of Land was released in his hand.
So subtle, yet so fierce and so fast.
The blood-stained palm tore the sword intent of the giant sword in a moment, and when the Heaven Punishment Sword was about to reach its peak, the palm directly grasped his neck and forcibly dragged him down.
Heaven Punishment Sword.
Neither the initial light curtain nor the shadow of the giant sword was the real Heaven Punishment Sword. The real one was the sword of Chen Moxue, who acted as the core of the sword formation.
That sword stroke was interrupted by Li Tianlan at the most delicate moment while it was about to reach the peak.
The slightest difference led to a huge error.
It was so exaggerated that it looked like a coincidence.
What was more exaggerated was that during the whole process, Chen Moxue did not feel Li Tianlan’s sword intent, nor did he feel his power.
The other party seemed to just reach out, and everything was over.
“How do you…”
Li Tianlan’s grip was getting tighter.
Chen Moxue held Li Tianlan’s palm tightly, his voice hoarse and deformed.
Li Tianlan glanced at him.
His eyes were cold and indifferent.
He lifted his palm holding Chen Moxue and suddenly slammed Chen Moxue’s body hard into the ground.
“Puff!”
It wasn’t the dull sound of the human body that was slammed to the ground.
As Li Tianlan smashed Chen Moxue’s body against the ground, the latter seemed to be smashed directly into the water.
Faint blue beams of light appeared silently on the ground and continued to refract and spread, converging with each other.
It was the most fierce and violent lightning. But at this moment, the lightning was converging like water, hard and yet soft. Countless rays of light intertwined into the water surface and offset most of Li Tianlan’s power on Chen Moxue.
Blood continued to gush from the corner of Chen Moxue’s mouth. The Heaven Punishment Sword was interrupted by Li Tianlan at the most delicate time. The sword intent did not pour out but exploded directly in Chen Moxue’s body. The rest of Li Tianlan’s power rushed into Chen Moxue’s body and straightly destroyed the balance within his body. Chen Moxue was pale, and his vital force declined in an instant.
The Heaven Punishment Sword never seriously injured Li Tianlan. Instead, it directly deprived Chen Moxue of his fighting capacity.
The waves gathered by lightning were still surging, wrapping up Chen Moxue and spreading upward along his legs.
Li Tianlan loosened his grip and suddenly turned around.
At the end of the water-like lightning, Wang Shengxiao, the successor of the Wang family of Beihai, slowly came along.
The Chosen One from Beihai, who had always been modest and gentle, now had no smile or expression on his face, and his eyes were cold.
He held the wide-bladed, heavy, huge sword tightly in his hand, with Sword Energy surging around him.
Li Tianlan’s scarlet eyes immediately locked the vital parts of Wang Shengxiao’s body.
“Let go of him.”
Wang Shengxiao gently lifted the huge sword in his hand. He looked at Li Tianlan, his tone indifferent.
An immense amount of sword intent roared around him and converged toward the epee named Firmament in his hand.
He looked straight into Li Tianlan’s eyes with irresistible toughness and majesty.
Li Tianlan’s scarlet eyes grew crazier.
He put his palm on Chen Moxue’s head.
The water-like lightning spread along the body of Chen Moxue.
Li Tianlan’s palm was lit up by a faint blue light, which then immediately turned white.
The dim blue waves and the blazing white sword intent were in a stalemate on two ends with Chen Moxue’s body as the battleground. Chen Moxue’s face suddenly twisted, and he seemed to be suffering greatly.
“Let go of him.”
Wang Shengxiao’s eyes grew colder, and the surging sword intent around him gained a touch of killing intent and mania.
He must keep Chen Moxue alive.
Unlike the general elite, Chen Moxue’s aptitude, in fact, was not as good as the real young Chosen Ones, but it was not that worse. In the big Deep-sea Academy, apart from Jiang Shangyu’s Three Thousand World and Song Ci’s Phantom Palace, Blizzard was known as the most powerful organization. Chen Moxue had taken the initiative to move closer to him, so the Wang family of Beihai had no reason to let such a talent go.
It was the era of the Chosen Ones.
But under the brilliance of the Chosen Ones, the others may be able to shine as well.
In the era of Wang Tianzong, Li Kuangtu, and Gu Xingyun, people like Dongcheng Wudi, Situ Cangyue, Gu Qianchuan, and the Nirvana Sword Master of Mount Shu appeared too. Given Chen Moxue’s aptitude, he could definitely grow into a top Half-step Invincible Realm expert in ten years. Such a person would definitely be of great importance to the team formed by Wang Shengxiao in the future.
“You want to make me do that alone?”
Li Tianlan looked at Wang Shengxiao and sneered.
His voice was strange, stiff and empty, but it sounded from all directions, grand and indifferent.
Wang Shengxiao glanced at Chen Moxue.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Li Tianlan suddenly raised his hand.
The blazing white lightning gathered in his hand.
The Twenty-first Blade · the Shattering of Land.
“Kill!”
The moment the sword intent broke out in Li Tianlan’s palm, Wang Shengxiao suddenly raised his huge sword. Chen Moxue’s face twisted utterly, and suddenly, he roared.
The waves of lightning enclosing his body ebbed.
Chen Moxue was spurting blood all over his body.
The blood glistened with a forlorn, dark red luster. Every streak of blood carried with itself the sword intent.
That was the Heaven Punishment Sword Intent that exploded in Chen Moxue’s body!
In a flash, the sword intent in the blood and the water-like lightning blended with each other.
In all corners, elite members of Blizzard and Phantom Palace drew their swords at the same time.
The figure of Wang Shengxiao appeared high in the sky, and the dark, huge sword pointed at Li Tianlan with a cold light.
In a split second, it seemed that all sword intent was madly gathering toward Wang Shengxiao’s body.
“Heaven Punishment!”
Wang Shengxiao’s loud and majestic voice sounded like a clap of thunder.
The surging sword intent went from bottom to top, and the whole world was dyed dazzling blue in the blink of an eye. The roaring thunder rolled across the sky, the sun receded under the blue sword intent, and it rained heavily.
Faint blue sword rain.
Li Tianlan broke Chen Moxue’s Heaven Punishment Sword Formation.
But Chen Moxue was still there, as was the incomplete sword formation.
Wang Shengxiao directly replaced Chen Moxue and became the new core of the Heaven Punishment Sword Formation, while the severely injured Chen Moxue played a subsidiary role together with the remaining Heaven Punishment Sword Intent.
The sword stroke was abrupt and violent.
The sword rain fell and gathered. Wang Shengxiao’s figure was getting higher and higher. This sword was out of everyone’s sight.
His figure disappeared instantly.
The pouring rain and the messy sword intent directly converged.
The sword rain and everyone’s sword intent gathered together thoroughly, turning into a faint blue beam of light that penetrated the sky and earth.
At one end of the beam was the sky.
And the other end of it was Li Tianlan!
Li Tianlan suddenly clasped his hands.
The sword intent of the Shattering of Land continued to burst forth between his hands. The blazing white light continued to intertwine before him, turning into a light curtain.
The pouring rain turned into a beam of light, which shed straight and fell on the light curtain.
The entire light curtain trembled suddenly, and a large amount of blood squirted behind the light curtain.
Li Tianlan’s blood.
“Boom!”
Infinite sword intent surged and exploded directly.
The blazing white light curtain instantly shattered, and the beam of light formed by sword rain disappeared utterly.
In the messy light and shadows, Li Tianlan’s clothes were wholly broken, and his body was covered with blood. His face was ghastly pale, and blood was constantly gushing from a cut on his forehead. The blood covered his face, making him look incredibly ferocious.
“Ahhhh!”
Li Tianlan’s eyes were scarlet, and he growled all of a sudden. He suddenly ripped off his broken shirt and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Blood flowed down from him. At this moment, Li Tianlan was like an injured beast. He had no sense at all, and only madness left.
The sword intent of the Shattering of Land circulated in his hands, changing instantly.
The Fourteen Blade · Slaughter!
The frantic killing intent spread across the sky with the flashing sword light.
The Shattering of Land was the sword of shattering.
The Fourteen Blade was the desire of slaughter.
When the two kinds of sword intent merged and overlapped, they formed a new sword.
The Seventeenth Blade · Asura!
All the blood that dripped from Li Tianlan floated upward at the same time.
The blood gathered before him and formed a scarlet blood sword.
Like a bloody man, Li Tianlan suddenly reached out his hand and held the blood sword in his palm.
In the twinkling of an eye, the endless scarlet sword light burst out suddenly and rose from the ground, like a bloody tide surging with tremendous killing intent.
The figure of Wang Shengxiao appeared in the sky.
He clenched the hilt of Firmament with both hands and fell straight from above to below.
His figure was so far away and yet so clear.
Without sword light or the dim blue lightning.
Only one sword and one man were falling and sprinting.
His speed was getting faster and faster. The dark huge sword Firmament rubbed against the air, sparking a fire, which then was extinguished due to the high speed of fall.
Along with Wang Shengxiao’s figure, a swath of sword intent that was so large and almost non-existent covered directly toward Li Tianlan.
A faint blue light appeared on the blade of Firmament.
It kept flashing.
The flickering blue light was very small, and yet it was as big as the whole sky.
There was sword intent between heaven and earth.
All the sword intent had become heaven and earth with this Heaven Punishment Sword.
The bloody tide rose up against the sky.
Li Tianlan was as ferocious as a devil and as crazy as Asura.
The Heaven Punishment Sword Intent, which covered the world, fell directly into the bloody tide.
Wang Shengxiao’s figure was surrounded by the bloody sword light, but for the first time, it was so clear and majestic.
The faint blue light on the epee Firmament became brighter in the bloody sword light.
He failed to practice the half move of Six Paths of Reincarnation. What was worse, he was seriously injured.
In this situation, with the help of the Heaven Punishment Sword Formation, this could almost be said to be Wang Shengxiao’s strongest sword stroke.
The sword intent was continually superimposed and condensed. The power of this sword stroke was equal to that of a blow from a Half-step Invincible Realm expert.
Not ordinary Half-step Invincible Realm.
This was equivalent to Wang Shengxiao’s strongest sword stroke after he entered the Half-step Invincible Realm!
It seemed as if heaven and earth were squeezing at the same time.
The scarlet sword light stagnated.
The blue light on the sword edge of Firmament suddenly expanded.
This sword was like the world and eternity.
The huge sword edge collided with the blood sword condensed by blood.
The picture seemed to freeze for a moment.
The dim blue light stopped flashing.
The blood no longer surged.
Without any sound, all the sword intent and Sword Energy were broken.
There was a sudden, violent storm on the flat ground in front of the warehouse. The storm surged and spread in absolute silence, and the aftermath swept through every corner of the spot in a formidable fashion. The severely injured Chen Moxue, who was about to withdraw from the battlefield, and more than a dozen elite members of Phantom Palace and Blizzard, were all swallowed up by the storm in a flash.
The storm stirred up chaotic red glows of blood. Limbs and bodies were completely shattered in the storm.
The storm continued to sweep across the flat land and rushed into the dense forest.
The storm had uprooted countless trees, which then broke in the air, but the sword intent was still raging.
“Boom!”
A deafening noise finally sounded after the silent destruction.
Wang Shengxiao and Li Tianlan spat blood at the same time.
With Li Tianlan as the center, the hard and flat ground suddenly collapsed and turned into a deep pit.
Water stains appeared in the deep pit. They then turned into water currents and quickly filled the entire deep pit.
The flat land became a pool.
In the broken sword intent, Li Tianlan’s figure was sent flying directly nearly two hundred meters away, severely penetrated the thick wall of the warehouse, and disappeared into the sight of everyone.
Wang Shengxiao’s figure rushed into the dense forest uncontrollably.
A sudden pair of palms supported Wang Shengxiao from behind.
Under the huge impact, the two men retreated together for nearly twenty meters before stopping.
Wang Shengxiao spat out blood again. His face was ghastly pale, but his eyes were indifferent like never before.
“What happened?”
A voice sounded behind Wang Shengxiao.
Wang Shengxiao looked up at the man.
The person who caught him was Gu Hanshan, Young Master of Kunlun City!
The three young Chosen Ones gathered completely.
Wang Shengxiao stood up, gritting his teeth, and said with a smile, “Li Tianlan lost.”
He was sure of his injury, as well as that of Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan, who lacked the extraordinary protection of the suit made of Cloud Silk and was not at his best, encountered his sword stroke with all his might. The two sides had both suffered.
Li Tianlan could still fight.
Wang Shengxiao could do the same thing.
But at this moment, Wang Shengxiao had Gu Hanshan, Jiang Shangyu, and more than a dozen elite soldiers from the two academies by his side.
No matter how mighty Li Tianlan was, how could he win with severe injuries?
