Chapter 2189 United They Stood
The portal was something that Lin Mu could easily recognize.
'It's certain a Spatial Portal… But it isn't stable for sure.' Lin Mu thought after seeing its state.
In fact, he wasn't even sure why the portal was open right now as there didn't seem to be anything holding it up. Normally a portal would appear under the influence of a Teleportation array or a direct break in the spatial fabric.
But this didn't seem to be either of those things.
'I can't use Spatial Perception to check, but it doesn't look like it was opened normally.' Lin Mu reckoned.
~BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZHIIIIIII~
But the misfortune for Elder Zen and Hall Master Fei didn't end there. The giant chimeric beast seemingly let out an earth shattering cry as a massive energy fluctuation was felt.
"It's caught up!" Elder Zen sensed the presence of the beast behind them growing.
"We are so close, we need to do something." Hall Master Fei said as she saw the four heads of the chimeric beast opening wide.
A massive amount of energy gathered in the gaping maws and grew into a giant orb.
"We'll die trying if that's the last thing we do!" Elder Zen was not going to give up without a fight.
Hall Master Fei was also not going to leave him behind. As such, both of them charged up their strongest skills in order to counterattack.
The giant chimeric beast was at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm which was something they would never be able to deal with on their own.
Both of them were at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, and even if they were stronger than most other cultivators at the same stage, there was still a limit to what they could do.
~HUMMM~HUMMM~
Waves of Sword Intent spread from the two, as two pillars of light rose into the sky. One of the pillars was yellow while the second was blue, coming from Elder Zen and Hall Master Fei respectively.
If one looked at the pillars of light, they would find their eyes hurting. A sharp sword intent was imbued in both the pillars and it was clear that these were the representation of their individual powers.
But as the two pillars reached the sky, they seemingly melded together, turning into a bright green color.
The cultivation bases of the two seemingly melded, as a unison was reached. Both of them had their swords raised, as Ocean Raker and Afternoon Pine resonated.
"Pine Master Style- Seventh Form: Zenith Sky Pine!" Elder Zen chanted, as Afternoon Pine flew out into the sky.
Imbued with the Sword Intent and the skill that had been executed by the man, it grew in size. It reached a size of fifty meters and filled the sky with a sharp aura.
But this was just half of what was to happen. Hall Master Fei too executed her own skill, joining her lover.
"Seven Seas Sword Style- Fifth Form: Tsunami!" Hall Master Fei's Ocean Raker flew out as well.
But instead of enlarging, it instead created millions of mirror image that filled the area. This combined with the blue sword intent looked like a giant wave that rushed towards the four headed beast.
With both sky and land being covered, the four headed beast had no scope of avoidance. Though it didn't seem like it intended to do that anyways.
~ROAR~
The four heads roared and launched the energy orbs that rushed towards the two cultivators.
The enlarged Afternoon Pine cut through two of the orbs from the sky, as it it were an executioners Axe cutting off a head.
~KABOOM~
On the bottom, the Tsunami overwhelmed the final two energy orbs, causing the to explode and push them back.
The explosion was bright and strong, forcing them to be blinded for a bit. The Four headed chimeric beast was not safe either and suffered quite a bit of damage under it.
Their sword skills had managed to not only destroy the orbs but also reach then beast. But by that point, the power of the attack had reduced considerably and now only a fraction of it had affected the four headed chimera.
A few wounds appeared on its body, while its four heads let out blood curdling cries.
~SCREECH~
Their cries seemingly melded into a horrendous screech that could make one's ears bleed. Even Lin Mu could feel their discomfort being transferred to him at this moment.
'A Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beast certainly isn't simple… Even its cry has enough power to kill several immortals if they didn't defend against it.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"It's still fine." Hall Master Fei said with a frown.
"At least we managed to stop its attacks… But not for long." Elder Zen stated as he felt the Qi within his body going wild.
The skill he had used earlier was not something he could use without paying a cost. But in the current situation he was more than willing to pay it.
Hall Master Fei was in a similar condition and had strained herself to use her skill.
Both of them had exhausted a lot of immortal Qi in this and they certainly wouldn't be able to last long after this.
~ROAR~
"We're still some distance away… Those Auroch Chimeric beasts have managed to survive and are still blocking the path." Hall Master Fei stated, her eyes tinged with exhaustion.
"We only have one option… We have to use that." Elder Zen said, hinting to something.
Hall Master Fei then saw Elder Zen taking out a red thread. It looked like a simple cotton thread, but a mysterious power was exuding from it.
"Looks like this will be our final stand." Hall Master Fei said with a sad smile.
But she took out an item too.
It was a miniature sword that was half black and half white. Fine runes were carved onto it and a mysterious power exuded from it.
"If its with you, I can definitely do this." Elder Zen said as he tied the red thread on his left hand. "I'll be with on till the very end." Hall Master Fei said, tying the other end of the red thread to her right hand.
With both their hands linked, they then clasped their fingers together.
Hand in hand, Hall Master Fei let go of the miniature sword.
~WHOOSH~
The miniature sword flew out and transformed into a black and white light that merged into Afternoon Pine and Ocean Raker.
This imbued the two swords with that same mysterious aura. Hall Master Fei and Elder Zen then made a sword gesture with their free hand and pointed at the four headed chimeric beast.
"Dual Unity Swordsmanship! Blade of Companion!" They uttered in unison.
Upon their chant, Afternoon Pine and Ocean Raker seemingly transformed. An illusory field appeared, as the two swords merged not a single entity.
It looked like the full sized version of the miniature sword they had used, but its power was massive now.
The dual colored sword rose into the sky, creating a tall illusory blade that was over a hundred meters tall!
"SEVER!" They shouted in unison while moving their fingers in a downward slash.
~HONGLONG~
A loud grating sound was heard as the sword cut down into the four headed beast!
The four heads cried out in pain, as they found their body being split into half. The sword slash was not simple though, as the energy contained within it wreaked havoc in the body of the Four Headed beast.
That was not all either, as the area of effect from the slash was enough to kill all the Auroch Chimeric Beasts that were around them.
They too were cut in half, while the sword intent contained within the slash started to churn through their corpses. Similar thing was happening to the Four Headed Chimeric beast as its meridians were being ravaged.
A long cut had appeared in the middle of the four heads, allowing the skill's power to easily sink into the beast. The beast felt like a million knives were cutting it apart from the inside.
The power of the slash eventually reached the Four headed chimeric beast's Dantian. This was when the slash's effect improved exponentially and broke through the Dantian.
~KACHA~
An almost inaudible sound was heard, as the Sword Intent contaminated the Dantian.
The contamination was not simple and caused a cascading effect as the Qi within the Dantian raged.
The Sword Intent and Qi reacted in a volatile manner, until they caused another explosion.
~KABOOM~
The explosion was greater than anything before and directly blasted the beast apart.
"It was… Nice to be in your company…" Elder Zen said as he felt the explosion reaching them.
"I wish to be reincarnated and meet you again…" Hall Master Fei said right before the explosion swallowed them whole.
Their bodies disappeared within the explosion, while two metallic glints were sent flying into the portal.
If one had good eyesight, they would have seen that these were the two swords!
