Counterattack

Despite being surrounded by powerful enemies and in dire straits, Si Ming had experienced countless fierce battles in his life and killed too many peerless experts to count on one hand, so he would not lose his fighting spirit because of this.

"You should indeed be proud of the strategy I painstakingly devised for you, and you should remember it well, because this will be your final battle."

The "Barbarian King" arrogantly pointed his finger, and his five subordinates moved in unison, each using different martial arts techniques: fists, palms, fingers, claws, and legs. Five kinds of energy flowed out in succession, each with different attributes and variations. Combined with the Foundation the Peak Spirit Transformation, the earth trembled as if it were about to crack.

Take good care of yourself.

Si Ming gave Liu Yongzhan a word of advice, then drew the Wheel-Turning King Sword. In this perilous situation, he could not afford to be arrogant. The sword tip spun like Peacock Spreads Its Tail, the Sword Qi energy turning into silk, entangling and decomposing all five types of energy, turning them into his own. With a thrust of the sword tip forward, the five energies merged and surged out, attacking the female martial artist who used leg strength.

"Gale's Furious Drill!"

The female warrior wore leopard-skin shorts, revealing a pair of strong, shapely, and incredibly elastic long legs. As these long legs spun, an unparalleled gust of wind stirred up dust, which transformed into tangible objects that shot out like giant drills.

However, Si Ming's One Sword combined the power of the five people and was amplified with his own Sword Qi, making its power incomparable to the previous strike. It used the principle of breaking through solid with solid, forcefully shattering the giant drill and sending the female warrior behind it flying as well.

The other four ignored the female warrior's life and continued their attack. Among them, the King, Eagle King, and Scorpion King seemed to have a combined attack method and were gathering their strength. Therefore, the last Little Wu wearing a bamboo hat rushed to the front and fought with Si Ming first.

"Ghost Blade Nether Severance!"

Suddenly, the short-statured martial artist drew two swords, and a fierce wind howled, raging in all directions, with the sound of waves crashing. The two ghostly blades were blown out to resist the nether wind, causing the surrounding air to freeze and chill one's soul. As they flew, they left behind layers of afterimages, enveloping Si Ming.

It would take time for the myriad blade shadows to strike, violent and chilling, as if they were meant to kill a person with ten thousand blades. But before the blade shadows could fall, Si Ming rolled up his sword as if sealing off a dark aura, which appeared out of thin air three feet away. The space seemed to collapse, absorbing all the incoming blade energy and transferring it to an unknown alternate dimension.

"The Gate of All Wonders!"

No matter how the Little Wu attacked, no matter how he slashed or cleaved, even with the sword energy and dark energy crisscrossing the sky, he couldn't break through the three-foot distance. He couldn't even create a ripple, as if a void ocean was blocking his way.

At the same time, Si Ming raised one hand, flicked his finger, and a sharp burst of energy shot out with a "whoosh," piercing directly through the opponent's chest and drawing out a bloody flower. Even the third level of Heavenly Silkworm Force could not stop it. After consuming the Undying Brain Divine Gu, one could only possess the first level of Heavenly Silkworm Force, but being controlled by the Undying Brain Divine Gu could directly climb to the third level.

At this moment, the Vulture King, Eagle King, and Scorpion King finished charging up their power and stood firmly in their respective mysterious positions, resonating with the Hundun Spirit-Devouring Array Formation and drawing the array's power towards Si Ming.

In an instant, the Sword Qi filling the sky was trapped by an invisible force that seemed to exist yet not exist, seemingly illusory yet not illusory, seemingly without a trace, yet seemingly filling the heavens and earth. It slowed down more and more, even about to freeze. The collapsed "Gate of All Wonders" was also affected, losing its ability to absorb energy.

"Three Corpses Seal - Hundred Acids Bury the Earth!"

The three joined forces to cast a seal, Vicious Qi condensed into the skeletal remains of demon gods, each a hundred feet tall. In an instant, black winds howled, and gloomy clouds gathered. Countless dense demonic shadows Blink, all of which were bound by the chains formed by the Three Corpses Seal, preventing them from going out of control. Their mournful howls made the heavens and earth tremble.

The demon god's skeleton simultaneously swung its fist down, shattering the space instantly. A deep, bottomless crack appeared out of nowhere in the void, causing the Gate of All Wonders to collapse. The four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire spread out like wildfire, or like mercury spilling onto the ground, cascading in all directions.

Si Ming was struck by the residual force and his body darted backward. Facing the oncoming demonic attack, the blade in his hand spun gently, like a clear spring or a swaying feather.

"None Under Heaven Can Contend; the A Mighty Army Is Destroyed!"

The seemingly weak and feeble sword moves actually embody the essence of using minimal force to overcome great strength. Moreover, although Si Ming is suffering from severe poison and has difficulty exerting his strength, even if he can only use 30% of his power, it is still astonishing.

Every time Si Ming thrust out his One Sword, he would deflect the giant fist swung by the demon god's skeleton and then gently pull it away, thus shifting the direction of the fist, which could even pierce through collapsing space, and causing it to brush past him.

A hundred fist shadows crashed down, the earth groaned and large craters appeared, but Si Ming was the target of the concentrated fire, was not even a hair on his head. Moreover, with each attack he deflected, he would take a portion of the force and, after a hundred punches, he had completed the preparation for a counterattack. He immediately spun around and slashed out with his sword.

A majestic Sword Qi aura, sharp as a blazing sun falling and stars collapsing, shot out with unstoppable force, its momentum penetrating the earth and annihilating everything. Even the Vulture King, Eagle King, and Scorpion King could not withstand it. Their protective Gang Qi was shattered, and a hideous sword wound appeared on their chests, spitting out blood.

Snap snap snap...

"Barbarian King" clapped his hands and said, "Even with your Jing Essence and Qi Essence depleted, you managed to break through the enemy's defenses using martial arts techniques that employ softness to overcome hardness and borrow strength to strike back. You are truly no ordinary person!"

While calming his breathing and secretly gathering his strength, Si Ming pretended to be relaxed and said, "Even if a dragon is swimming in shallow water, it is not something these small fry can provoke. Expecting them to take me down is wishful thinking."

Knowing that a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous, he was eager to escape. Despite the fact that he had easily defeated the five opponents, the Eagle King and the others possessed remarkable stamina and recovery ability thanks to the formation. Their injuries were healing at a visible speed, and continuing to fight would only exhaust their strength.

However, forcibly breaking through the formation while trapped is not an easy task. The best approach would naturally be to use the nuclear explosion technique from the "Supreme Plain Decay True Scripture". However, such techniques require a large amount of Jing Essence as fuel and will put a huge burden on the body when activated. Given Si Ming's condition of being poisoned by "Horse-Toppling Poison", it is not an easy task and an opportunity to make the move needs to be found.

"Indeed, these five useless fellows can't possibly defeat you. The moves you just used should be from the 'Supreme Sword Scripture,' right? I remember it's the supreme Swordsmanship of the Supreme Sect. In terms of defense alone, it's the best among All Heavens Sword Art."

The "Barbarian King" stretched out his hands and said calmly:

"In the end, only I can handle this. Very well, I'll give you a dignified ending."

Si Ming wanted to speak to stall for time, but suddenly he felt a sense of disorientation and extreme discomfort. Before he could figure out what was going on, the "Barbarian King" appeared in front of him as if by teleportation and placed a palm on his chest.

"Nine Insects Art: Malignant Sores and Madness!"

Chapter 902 Counterattack

The instant the palm struck, Si Ming felt as if his internal organs had exploded, his mind and consciousness were boiling, his five senses were distorted, he was being devoured by countless insects, and the whole world became bizarre and grotesque, as if the curtain protecting his rationality had been lifted, revealing the most terrifying truth within.

Countless fleshy buds protruded from his body surface, twisting and growing outwards, as if they were about to decompose into worms. A fleshy lump also protruded from the back of his neck, gradually evolving into facial features, as if it were about to grow another head.

If his physical condition were intact, this level of mutation would be no match for Si Ming. His control over his body had already reached the cellular level, and even strong nuclear radiation could only provide him with free energy. However, now that he is under the influence of "Horse-Toppling Poison," his control over his body has plummeted to rock bottom, and there is a tendency for him to completely lose control.

"Your Blood Qi far surpasses that of dragons and phoenixes, comparable to High Antiquity ferocious beasts. If you were to mutate into a monster, who knows what terrifying creature you would evolve into."

Although the "Barbarian King" was somewhat curious, he was also worried that Si Ming would be mutated into a monster that even he could not deal with. He immediately seized the opportunity to pursue, raised his right hand and pointed his fingertip at the other's brow.

"The Absolute Sword Destroys the Nine Continents!"

But before the finger could land, just inches away, Si Ming's face suddenly went expressionless, becoming calm and stiff, as if all emotions had been extinguished, suppressing the mad and evil thoughts within him, and he lightly shifted his feet to avoid "Barbarian King's " finger.

At the same time, a sword light flashed, and Sword Qi crisscrossed. A Sword Qi, seemingly slow but actually fast, surged out with a murderous intent that could destroy everything.

The "Barbarian King" had not expected that his opponent would still have room to retaliate under such circumstances, nor did he expect that the Hundun Spirit-Devouring Formation could devour all spiritual power. Where did the opponent's true True Qi come from? Caught off guard, he had no time to dodge. The Sword Qi that annihilated all things struck his chest directly. Fortunately, his strong protective energy suddenly erupted.

Ninefold Heavenly Silkworm Force!

The Extinction Sword Qi clashed with the Heavenly Silkworm Force Qi. Although the former was sharp and indestructible, the latter was layered and continuous. Even after being torn apart by thousands of layers of force, it was still not penetrated. The Barbarian King seized this moment of delay and retreated rapidly while unleashing his ultimate move.

"Nine Insects Seal - Paralysis, Boils, Carbuncles and Fistulas!"

Countless insect shadows erupted from the "Barbarian King's " palm, cascading like a waterfall, dark and indistinct. Each one contained a different disease and madness, enough to make one lose their mind with just a glance. It targeted both the body and the soul, as if a plague god had descended to wreak havoc on the world.
