“He’s here!”
“No, he’s over here.”
The Silver Snake spear swept the surroundings.
Wang Hu broke through the mechanism chains, wielding his battle blade.
Li Xuanxiao’s figure flickered at the center of the battlefield, his presence detectable.
But there were four distinct presences.
For a moment, Wang Hu couldn’t tell which one was real. A cold sweat seeped down his forehead.
What Wang Hu didn’t notice was a wisp of icy blue mist quietly seeping into the earth vein.
It was the Bone-Eroding Miasma, refined earlier by Li Xuanxiao using the Golden Snake Poison Sac, specially designed to break through Protective True Qi.
By the time Wang Hu realized, the Bone-Eroding Miasma had already surged into his Yongquan acupoint beneath his foot.The battle-hardened Protective True Qi that Wang Hu prided himself on emitted a metallic, rusty screech under the poison’s erosion.
However, Wang Hu was a seasoned veteran who immediately made a decision without hesitation, fiercely slashing his poisoned left foot with his weapon.
Blood gushed like a spring from Wang Hu’s left foot, but he didn’t even frown.
If he didn’t sever the poisoned left foot immediately, the Bone-Eroding Miasma would quickly spread throughout his body.
By then, even with his extraordinary skills, survival would be nearly impossible.
Wang Hu exchanged glances with the other three.
This man must not be underestimated!!
The four stood in four different directions, spaced apart to form a square formation.
In the blink of an eye, ghostly military souls clad in golden armor emerged within the formation.
Some held long spears, others wielded heavy blades, and some drove war chariots, all exuding fierce killing intent.
Initially acting independently, these military soul phantoms seemed drawn by some force, beginning to resonate with each other.
Their killing aura intertwined and collided in the void, eventually condensing into three towering golden armored giants dozens of meters tall.
This was the killing phenomenon of the military formation, a fearsome power once unleashed.
Li Xuanxiao remained unflustered, hand forming a spell sign, sweeping his large sleeve.
Several formation flags dropped from his sleeve, taking root upon landing and quickly forming a grand formation.
Once again, charm coins flew from Li Xuanxiao’s sleeve; each coin transformed into a three-meter-tall giant upon landing.
Though not as tall and mighty as the golden giants, they made up for it with sheer numbers.
Li Xuanxiao gripped a long sword and swung it from top to bottom.
The might of swordsmanship fully displayed.
Suddenly, the long sword in his hand burst forth a dazzling cold light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, stabbing directly at the four opponents with thunderous momentum.
In an instant, a muffled “puff” was heard as the cold light was forcibly blocked by the golden armored giants.
Yet, the sword light’s power was overwhelming; despite being blocked, its immense force pushed the golden giants steadily backward.
A closer look revealed obvious dents on the giants’ hands from the sword light’s impact, as if their hands could no longer bear such tremendous power.
However, the dents were continuously repairing themselves.
Still, despite the dents repairing, the sword light relentlessly assaulted the giants.
Their hands were gradually worn down, the dents deepening.
“Switch!”
Wang Hu’s expression flickered unpredictably.
Another golden giant wielding a weapon replaced the one being pushed back.
It used a long blade to block the sword light.
Under the gradual attrition of the sword light, its momentum began to wane.
“This isn’t a military cultivator,” Wang Hu said, “This is swordsmanship.”
The difference between a pure military cultivator and a sword cultivator was far more than trivial.
What the opponent had just displayed was swordsmanship.
“What a sword cultivator!”
However, just as the four thought the sword light had been resisted and was about to vanish,
Suddenly, the sword light exploded violently, transforming into countless dazzling silver rays, as spectacular as fireworks blooming.
These silver lights were not ordinary sword light but 3,600 poison-tempered meteor iron needles.
Each meteor iron needle glimmered with cold light.
These 3,600 poison-tempered meteor iron needles rained densely upon the four.
“Buzzing!!!”
Cracking sounds burst from every part of the golden giants, and the battle-hardened formation shattered with a thunderous crash.
This sudden change caught everyone off guard.
They hurriedly wielded their killing weapons to resist the silver needle downpour.
In moments, the four were battered into disarray.
Wang Hu stared at his arm; the critical acupoint on his arm had already been sealed by the poison needles.
A shock surged through Wang Hu’s heart. He originally planned to summon another killing weapon from his Purple Palace Dantian to deal with the crisis.
But just as he prepared to act, a strange sensation suddenly rose in his heart.
He hurriedly inspected his Purple Palace Dantian internally.
What he saw shocked him.
The place where his life-bound treasure should have been was tangled with countless fine threads.
These threads resembled a gigantic spiderweb, tightly wrapping his life-bound divine weapon within.
Worse, the threads weren’t limited to the life-bound treasure.
They extended along the spiritual energy bond like puppet strings, tightly binding his Qihai as well.
With both his life-bound treasure and Qihai controlled by these threads, Wang Hu almost completely lost control over his own power.
Not only him, but the other three were in the same predicament.
Behind the poison needles were invariably thin, invisible threads.
Inside their bodies, a dense network formed, fully enveloping them and pulling them into the jaws of death.
Before killing them, Li Xuanxiao showed no mercy in performing soul search techniques.
He hoped to find any clues about the Frost Venom Toad.
However, to his disappointment, the four had no information regarding the Frost Venom Toad’s whereabouts.
Li Xuanxiao did not hesitate and directly wiped out the four.
“............”
Zhang Zi and Caishen stared at the scene with astonished expressions.
Neither had expected that fighting one against four would not only succeed but end so quickly.
Moments ago, they were still pondering how to escape; this time, survival seemed almost impossible.
They never imagined the matter would end like this.
When Li Xuanxiao landed before them,
Zhang Zi and Caishen couldn’t help but feel nervous. This person’s strength was so overwhelming, yet he had been hiding it all this time.
Now, would he suddenly strike at them?
Judging from how he killed four Transformation Spirit level cultivators in such a short time, they definitely had no chance of survival.
