Fa Bisheng’s Six Paths Wheel turned and sucked his followers into his Yuan Shen secret realms. Then, he bolted away faster and faster while saying, “But there is a winner already, I see no need for either one of us to die. I am inferior to him, so I have to go. If I don’t, my chances of dying are higher than him! Furthermore…”
The wound on his neck was seemingly healed without any scars left. But as soon as his hand was lifted way from the wound, it would immediately widen and bleed again.
Fa Bisheng's eyes thumped, the wound was not just as big as the part covered by his hand. It was actually far bigger but the other parts of the wound were suppressed by his powerful arcane energy. However, the wound left by Zhong Yue’s saber couldn’t be healed within such a short time.
The residual power from Zhong Yue’s skill still lingered in the wound, constantly devouring the life energy that tried to heal the wound. Even if he cultivated the Immortal Body, the wound would only continue to worsen.
This is where he was most worried.
Zhong Yue's psyche rumbled and he said, "Prince Fa, I am not a kind man who doesn’t fight back after getting a punch in the face. Since the battle has been started, it’s best that only one of us survives at the end of the day.”
Carrying Bai Canghai, Ma Sansou and Goddess Shen Hou in his Yuan Shen secret realms, he walked across the lake after Fa Bisheng. Due to his familiarity with the geography, the distance between them closed quickly.
Fa Bisheng stiffened up his face and sped up again, taking higher risks in exchange for time and speed. Fortunately, he had already explored the lake once and knew of many dangerous places. Allowing him to pick the best route he knew to sped away. Although not as fast as Zhong Yue, he wasn’t much slower either.
"Since Prince Fa is not willing to stand and fight, then I guess I can only a strike from a distance away!” Zhong Yue unsheathed a saber and raised it high. The Solar Divine Saber shone brightly in godly rays like a rising sun, lighting up over the land of million miles.
Zhong Yue brought the saber down in a slashing motion, and the saber and sun disappeared abruptly.
Fa Bisheng's hair fell off from the back of his head. When he saw the saber and sun disappearing from the scene, his heart pounded heavily. And arms immediately grew out from under his arms. He cast out a huge divine bell and raised it high.
The bell’s surface was engraved with various carvings, and totem patterns curled around the bell, forming nine rings around the bell body. There were also the figures of the many celestial races engraved on the bell surface, such as dragons and phoenixes.
The bell gave out a loud din and trembled violently. It was burnt red with its top melting away into golden water. Outside of the bell was a blazing sun and a saber. Then, the【Sun Burst】was unleashed and shattered the bell apart!
The divine bell was shattered into pieces and the fragments spewed out in all directions.
Fa Bisheng raised his hands and directly received the descending saber with brute force. Just as the moment when the【Sun Burst】’s power ebbed and the Solar Divine Saber disappeared, he saw a bone palm piercing out from the void.
The palm exploded into 54 small bone pieces that turned into bone spears, bone sabers, bone clubs, and bone swords; attacking Fa Bisheng from all directions!
Fa Bisheng snorted and said, "He is trying to interfere with my attention. There must be a stronger skill hidden within the bone pieces. I will fend down his divine saber, and you all will block the bones!"
The Qi Practitioners standing in the light wheels behind his head launched their attacks and defended the incoming bone pieces!
More than a dozen Qi Practitioners shuddered violently at the moment of impact, they were shocked and stunned. These bone sabers, bone spears, bone clubs, and bone swords were just parts of Zhong Yue’s palm. And it was out of their expectations that even when divided into small pieces, the bones would have such great power. Their durability was no weaker than the divine weapons; their power was on par with the divine weapons as well!
54 bone pieces stuck at the same time while the Metamagnet Divine Saber suddenly split the air apart and thrust over. When Fa Bisheng responded with all his nerves at the incoming divine saber, the 54 bone pieces suddenly reformed together and clawed into the light wheels behind his head, crushing a Qi Practitioner into a clump of dead meat.
Fa Bisheng roared and his face turned red.
On the other hand, Jun Wudao's clothes fluttered violently even when there was no breeze. She was facing the battle, but her eyes were tightly closed. She didn’t take the opportunity to assault either Zhong Yue or Fa Bisheng.
A lady beside her asked, “Senior Martial Sister Wudao, why did Prince Fa Bisheng escape without putting up a fight? Prince Fa clearly had the upper hand, only suffering from a slight wound while that Blood Bone Evil God suffered five broken ribs….”
"It isn’t just slit wound, his whole head was cut off." Jun Wudao still didn't open her eyes, her clothes were still floating, while she answered indifferently, “That saber strike was not that simple, it wasn’t just a skill. The blinding light from his saber has covered the truth from you. At the moment they clashed, the two of them both performed three moves. During the first exchange of strikes, Fa Bisheng couldn’t overcome the brute force from the slashing saber. Thus, he made the second move to cast out his Nine Revolving Inner Core to block off the saber. In response, the Blood Bone Evil God cast out his Nine Revolving Inner Core as well.”
"However, the Blood Bone Evil God’s understanding in the Six Paths Reincarnation were beyond Fa Bisheng’s. Although Fa Bisheng cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation as well, he couldn’t use the power of Reincarnation to unify the power of Six Paths. Hence, he lost to the Blood Bone Evil God’s saber. Then, during the collision of the Nine Revolving Inner Cores, his inner core still couldn’t triumph over the Blood Bone Evil God’s inner core. Then, in the third move, his head was cut off."
Jun Wudao closed her eyes and said: "It was two goldy rays that beheaded him, one a Pure Yang, and the other Pure Yin. They soared like dragons and sheared his head away with an unstoppable force. You saw Fa Bisheng covering the wound on his neck. But in truth, he was not trying to cover a wound, but trying to keep his head attached to his neck."
The Qi Practitioners were all awestruck by the truth of the situation.
Beheading Fa Bisheng, a top ten cultivator of Prison Realm in three simple moves… one could only imagine how terrifying the Blood Bone Evil God’s power was!?
"Senior Martial Sister Wudao, then are we chasing or not?" A lady whispered.
"If I am able to find a way to dispel and counter the three skills, I will chase. But if I can't, then there’s no point in chasing as I wouldn’t be able to defeat him." Jun Wudao answered while her eyes were still closed.
Her clothes fluttered in the wind, her eyes are tightly closed, but she was constantly re-enacting in her mind the scene where Zhong Yue's three moves cut off Fa Bisheng's head. She put herself in Fa Bisheng’s place and seek for the way to counter Zhong Yue’s moves.
Although she was conversing with her followers, the replay of the battle played in her mind.
After a long time, Jun Wudao's clothes gradually calmed down and no longer fluttered. She abruptly opened her eyes. Two rays of light shot out from her eyes before they slowly returned to normal.
"I have found the way to counter his skill. I believe I can now deal with him." Jun Wudao set off and the light wheels turned behind his head, sucking her followers into the Six Paths Wheel as she chased after Zhong Yue and Fa Bisheng.
The reason why she didn’t keep the Qi Practitioners into the Six Paths Wheel while exploring this lake was because she needed them to scout out the dangers of this place so that she could remain safe.
Now that she had sufficiently explored, she naturally didn’t need the followers to continue taking any more risks.
Zhong Yue and Fa Bisheng were still changing strikes, while the distance bet
ween the two was steadily drawing closer. At the same time, the Qi Practitioners in the Fa Bisheng’s light wheels were killed one after another every time they clashes.
If Fa Bisheng’s followers were all dead, the next victim would then be Fa Bisheng himself.
Fa Bisheng had a heavy heart. Fortunately, it was hard to enter the lake but easy to exit. He was not far away from its edge. And as long as he escaped from the lake a step faster, he would then be able to outrun Zhong Yue.
Even now, he still had the confidence that he would make it.
Suddenly, the sky violently swayed, and he saw two godly rays flashing out, turning into a black and white Tai Chi Art that hung high in the air. As the Tai Chi Art started turning, countless saber rays and saber Qi like dragons rained down from the Tai Chi Art and struck at him!
Fa Bisheng grew desperate, and despair engulfed his heart.
A distance away from them, Jun Wudao quickly stopped and looked at this scene in utter shock.
“Senior Martial Sister Wudao, why stop?” asked the Qi Practitioners in her light wheels behind her head.
"If I can’t find a way to counter this great skill before going against Blood Bone Evil God, I may end up surviving at the end but only at the cost of a heavily wounded body... and all of your lives.”
Jun Wudao muttered, closing his eyes again, "Blood Bone Evil God knows that I am coming, this display is only a warning. Without finding a way to counter this skill, it will impair my perfect frame of mind.”
Chapter 679: Trouble! |
If she didn’t find a way to counter the skill, she didn’t have the confidence to win. And fighting an expert like Zhong Yue without utmost confidence is already a death sentence.
Faraway, Zhong Yue's【Dao Crusher】unleashed its full power and completely suppressed Fa Bisheng. Only three Qi Practitioners were left in the Fa Bisheng’s Six Paths Wheel, and they were all suppressed by the【Dao Crusher】, even Fa Bisheng struggled to move his body.
King Geng once commented on the power of the【Dao Crusher】— “The sun and moon halts the heaven and earth, the Yin and Yang traps the Yuan Shen, the Reincarnation ceases the Wu Xing and Wan Xiang, whereas the saber crushes the Dao.” Then he continued by stating that although the 【Dao Crusher】was marvelous, it was still too primitive.
However, today, if King Geng was to see the【Dao Crusher】in action again, it would be a totally different story. It had evolved into something on a completely different level.
His improvements were far quicker than one could ever imagine!
The【Dao Crusher】before required plenty of simulations to be done on the Dao cultivated by the opponents. It then proceeded to halt their Dao and weaken it before finally destroying it along with the opponent’s mortal body, Yuan Shen and even soul!
At this moment, the saber rays rained down onto Fa Bisheng. Some of the godly rays entered his Yuan Shen secret realms and in a flash, the last three surviving Qi Practitioners were killed as well.
But it wasn't that simple. The entrance of the saber rays into his Yuan Shen secret realms depicted that the saber rays had already penetrated into his Yuan Shen. A slight moment of carelessness would lead to irreversible consequences.
Fa Bisheng was struggling with the effort to fight back the incoming saber rays. The【God Slaying Three Styles】 's third style,【Dao Crusher】, was different to the first two styles. The【Sun Burst】 targeted the Yuan Shen, and the【Moon Tide】targeted the mortal body. They were both relatively straightforward skills that struck directly on their opponents.
The【Dao Crusher】was more reliant on calculations. It required Zhong Yue to incorporate the Yang and Yin lines to run simulations to calculate the opponent’s weaknesses to strike at.
It even incorporated Feng Xiaozhong's 【Dragon Shears】that could penetrate all defenses. The【Dao Crusher】was far stronger than when Zhong Yue had cast it out on King Geng
Fa Bisheng roared and tried to fight, but no matter how many soul weapons and divine weapons he sacrificed, he couldn’t push the【Dao Crusher】back. No matter how many skills he cast, they were instantly dispersed in the face of the【Dao Crusher】.
Suddenly, a saber pierced through his defense. The saber ray flashed across his eyes, and with a loud boom, a red line of blood slowly spread across Fa Bisheng’s neck. Sudden, the wound opened up and blood gushed out of it endlessly like a fountain.
Fa Bisheng shouted, he couldn’t hold any longer and gushing blood from his broken neck propelled his head into the sky like a rocket.
It was this moment, a vast power suddenly burst out from his forehead. A horrifying divine aura so vast that it covered every inch of the land. It felt as if the king of gods had awakened within his head, and its aura alone crushed Zhong Yue’s black and white Tai Chi Art into pieces!
Zhong Yue was shocked and quickly clenched the sabers in his hands while he retreated, "The Prison Realm Lord's arts!"
The Prison Realm Realm Lord was obviously very fond of Fa Bisheng that he even hid a life-saving card in Fa Bisheng’s psyche ocean. If the situation stayed its course, it was only a matter of time before Zhong Yue would kill Fa Bisheng. Thus, Fa Bisheng’s final trump card that was left behind by his father, Fa Zhaozhen the Prison Realm Realm Lord, was triggered!
How powerful were the Realm Lord's arts? Even a Deity Overlord might not be able to survive the Realm Lord’s skill, let alone Zhong Yue!
As the vast godly aura filled that air, Zhong Yue was moving back at a great speed. All of a sudden, his body stiffened up. Under the Realm Lord’s pressure, Zhong Yue lost the ability to even lift a finger up and could only watch as the skill hurtled toward him!
“You are strong, to be able to force me to use the trump card my father gave to me. You are truly amazing.” Fa Bisheng’s head hovered in the air, his face was filled with anger and revealed a hideous expression.
When the final trump card was activated, his wounds were erased out by the divine power and were immediately healed by his Immortal Body. Fa Bisheng stared deeply at Zhong Yue and praised, "This was originally intended to be reserved for King Geng. But I didn't expect to have to use it so early on a cultivator whose name I had never even heard of before. But to die by my father’s hand, even if not directly, is still an honor for you."
But just as he finished talking, the skill Prison Realm Realm Lord Fa Zhaozhen left for him abruptly lost all of its power, as if it had never existed in the first place!
Fa Bisheng was stunned, and his head quickly descended from the air to reconnect with his mortal body’s neck.
"What did Prince Fa just say? I didn’t hear it clearly. Can I ask you to repeat it again?"
Before his head reached to his body, Zhong Yue's had reached him together with the Solar Divine Saber and a wave of【Sun Burst】!
Arms grew out from Fa Bisheng's headless mortal body as he cast out a barrage of【Dharma Thriving Seal】with his full power!
The Six Paths Wheel behind him turned, distorting the space around while the countless【Dharma Thriving Seal】were launched at Zhong Yue’s Solar Divine Saber.
His head bolted out at the same time and landed on his neck. But the Solar Divine Saber had penetrated through the countless【Dharma Thriving Seal】, bore through his mortal body, and slammed on the ground.
The earth shook, but the saber did not leave any holes on the ground.
The saber was launched in overpowering brute force, but when it reached the ground, it couldn’t even create a dent on the floor as if it were utterly powerless.
Fa Bisheng's body was stiff, leaving his arms unable to catch the saber. The Solar Divine Saber was then soon bore through his body.
Fortunately, Zhong Yue's saber felt powerful when it was launched at him, but was actually powerless at all when it stabbed into him. He could feel that his mortal body hadn’t been fatally injured.
Even so, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and his voice turned hoarse, "My father is the Prison Realm Realm Lord, Fa Zhaozh
en"
Some distance away, Zhong Yue reached his hand out into space and retrieved the Solar Divine Saber back into his Yuan Shen secret realms. He nodded, "I know."
Fa Bisheng's eyelids thumped, "If you kill me, you won’t be able to live long yourself. But if you spare me today, you can still live freely. I can see that you are not a low-level beast of the lower realms in the Ancient Land of God Graves. Instead, you are also one of the many Qi Practitioners in the Prison Realm. If you kill me, there will be no place for you in the Prison Realm anymore."
Zhong Yue nodded, "I know."
Fa Bisheng heaved a sigh of relief before turning to walk away. But as he took the tenth step, Fa Bisheng suddenly swayed violently and collapsed to the ground breathlessly.
His body fell to the ground, his head separated from his neck and rolled twice before stopping on the ground.
Zhong Yue’s【Sun Burst】did nothing to his mortal body, not a single wound. But it was Fa Bisheng’s Yuan Shen that was severely wounded.
Fa Bisheng relief at Zhong Yue’s decision to no longer act was his final undoing.
If he hadn’t relaxed, his Yuan Shen's injury could have been suppressed to be attended to later on. But the relaxation was like letting pressure of a wound, and within ten steps, his Yuan Shen's injury had gone past the point of no return, and he was dead in a matter of seconds!
"I’ve been hearing that you said you didn't rely on your father for all of your achievements. Yet, you didn’t hesitate in throwing his name around before dying." Zhong Yue walked forward, his psyche rumbled as he said, "If you hadn’t mentioned him over and over again, you would have at least gotten my respect when you die. You are truly a disappointment…"
Inside the light wheels behind his head, Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou looked at one another and saw the terror in each other’s eyes as well as the cold sweat that rolled down their foreheads.
Just when they thought that going against the Realm Lord’s son was the worst thing ever, things had escalated to a whole other level!
