Chapter 314 - 221: Dragon-Falling Slays the Enemy, Spear Dao Perfection
Chapter 314: Chapter 221: Dragon-Falling Slays the Enemy, Spear Dao Perfection
He didn’t even look at Yan Fusha’s position. He just spun around and executed a Retreating Lance.
It was the eighth form of the Dragon-Falling Spear Technique: Inverting Heaven and Earth!
The moment he thrust, the spear’s light split in two, like a pair of long golden dragons attacking Yan Fusha from above and below.
Meanwhile, Chen Yi himself was between the two golden dragons. His body and long spear became one, also transforming into a draconic form as he charged forward to kill.
Yan Fusha’s eyes widened, and a savage smile suddenly spread across his face.
"A fine attack! Haha!"
As he spoke, he never stopped moving. He met the three draconic spear gleams head-on, flipping his claws upward.
The five-colored Evil Poison coalesced into a ball.
He then pressed his claws downward, unleashing ten blades of Evil Poison.
An instant later, the three draconic spear gleams collided with the Evil Poison, erupting in a deafening roar.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...
The golden spear light scattered and the five-colored Evil Poison surged, shattering everything within a hundred-foot radius.
Boulders and trees alike were pulverized into fine debris that scattered in all directions.
Amidst the clash of deadly killing moves, time seemed to stand still.
Chen Yi clearly saw Yan Fusha’s savage face, as well as the several wounds left where the spear’s light had pierced his Protective True Gang.
He also saw the pustules forming on his own wounds where the Evil Poison had corroded his flesh.
In the next moment, inspiration struck.
Chen Yi gripped his long spear with both hands and twirled it twice, the golden spear light forming two Wind-Fire Wheels.
In an instant, he swept away all the surrounding Evil Poison.
Immediately after, without a moment’s thought, Chen Yi unleashed one of the four killing moves he had gained after his Dragon-Falling Spear Technique reached the Celestial Tier.
Dragon-Falling!
Chen Yi raised his long spear high without any flourish, then brought it down in a simple, unadorned chop.
But as he swung the long spear in a full circle, it traced a golden arc, like a crescent moon.
What followed was a disturbance in the Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism that shook the area for a thousand feet around—
A dark cloud, only a thousand feet wide, instantly appeared in the night sky, and a bolt of golden lightning struck straight down.
It was like a mighty golden dragon, roaring as it rushed toward the defenseless Yan Fusha.
"ROAR!!"
As the dragon’s phantom struck Yan Fusha, a clear, drawn-out dragon’s cry echoed in all directions.
Faintly, a golden dragon phantom could be seen spiraling upward before vanishing into the dark cloud.
Chen Yi then appeared behind Yan Fusha, staggering as if from exhaustion.
Yan Fusha, in contrast, slowly turned his head. His surging True Essence Gang Qi was gone, the black, savage marks on his body had vanished, and all that remained was a shriveled husk.
He tremblingly raised a hand, pointed at Chen Yi with a stunned look in his eyes, and said, "You... you’ve... Spear Dao Perfection..."
The Martial Arts Realms, from entry-level, Minor Success, and Great Success to Perfection, are all about the application of the Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism.
Different Realms allow one to borrow different amounts of power from heaven and earth.
At the entry-level, one forms the rudiments of a Martial Arts Mental Realm, gaining access to things like Sword Qi and Spear Qi to enhance the power of their Techniques.
The Minor Success Realm is when the Martial Arts Mental Realm is considered established.
One can receive a partial blessing from the Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism and also gain unique ways to apply it.
For example, the Mountain and Gale aspects of the Fist Dao.
At the Great Success Realm, the power of one’s Techniques expands further. Fist Intent becomes heavier, Sword Intent becomes sharper, and their range grows wider.
These three Realms are the limit known to ordinary Jianghu People—the limit of human capability.
But it is a different matter entirely if one’s Martial Arts Cultivation reaches the Perfection Realm.
The most direct sign is a change in the world itself—lightning flashing and thunder rolling, rivers flowing backward, and so on.
As long as a person’s Cultivation and True Essence are sufficient to support it, even moving mountains and filling seas is not impossible.
Therefore, in Yan Fusha’s eyes, Chen Yi’s Dragon-Falling spear move, which had just triggered a change in the world, had already reached the realm of Perfect Spear Dao.
But what was the truth?
Chen Yi glanced at him and shook his head. "Not yet."
A man’s words on his deathbed are said to be true; he had no reason to lie to Yan Fusha.
Who would have known that just as a faint, knowing smile appeared on Yan Fusha’s face and his body split in two, Chen Yi would see a brilliant Jin Guang before his eyes.
Rows of large golden characters appeared one after another—
[At the first quarter of the Zi hour, you witnessed Yan Fusha and others from the Five Poison Sect kidnap Chen Yi, son-in-law of the Dingyuan Marquis’s Mansion, and Pei Guanli of the Mountain Race. You personally slayed fourteen Evil Demons from the Five Poison Sect, including Yan Fusha. Performance: Excellent.]
[Reward: "Thousand Poison Skill," Opportunity +45.]
[Spear Technique Advanced. Technique: Dragon-Falling, has broken through to Perfect Level. Gained a glimpse into the meaning of Spear Dao Perfection.]
[Spear Dao: Great Success. Progress +1000. Reached Perfection Realm.]
Chen Yi scanned the text, his face frozen in a daze. He then felt vast and profound mysteries of the Spear Dao flooding his mind.
’My Spear Dao... it really reached Perfection?’
Chen Yi read it over twice more to be sure, then couldn’t help but look at Yan Fusha’s corpse, a smile creeping onto his face.
"My apologies, Elder Yan. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. The epiphany just came a little too suddenly."
’Heh, Spear Dao Perfection.’
’This really is a blessing in disguise.’
But before Chen Yi could celebrate for long, his vision went black and he collapsed backward.
He hit the ground with a THUD.
The areas on his body that had been corroded by the Evil Poison began to swell up, one after another.
Blood and pus oozed from the wounds.
Seeing this from the Chishui River, the joyous expression on Pei Guanli’s face turned to worry. She scrambled back to the Painted Boat to retrieve her various bottles and jars, then leaped directly off the boat and swam desperately toward Chen Yi.
A few moments later, Pei Guanli reached Chen Yi’s side.
Without even taking a moment to examine him closely, she took out some Antitoxic Powder and fed it to Chen Yi.
By now, her face was streaked with tears. "Brother-in-law, don’t scare me."
"You can’t let anything happen to you! Or else... or else..."
Pei Guanli sobbed as she shook Chen Yi. "Or else Sister Jinghong will never forgive me."
"Brother-in-law, waahhh..."
Just then, Chen Yi spoke weakly, "Stop crying... and... and stop shaking me."
"If you keep shaking me, I’m really going to die."
