A Newborn Sword Move
In mid-air, the scattered flesh and blood began to gather together, and small Gu worms, appearing from nowhere, quickly devoured the flesh and blood, growing larger and stronger at a visible speed.
"It seems this guy also has super regeneration abilities. Was that expected?"
Si Ming observed intently, and suddenly realized the key to the matter. "His super regeneration is not a perpetual motion machine, but rather comes at the cost of consuming Jing Essence, which should be the Jing Essence of the 36 million innocent people he mentioned earlier."
Murong Qing frowned and asked, "How many times do we need to kill him before we can kill him?"
"His body was incredibly massive, meaning that the Jing Essence consumed with each rebirth was astronomical. As long as we..."
We can inflict enough damage on him, kill him twice more, and even if he can regenerate, he will be extremely weak and powerless, completely at our mercy.
Murong Qing nodded and said without hesitation, "Then let's go."
"You think you can kill me twice over?"
A voice brimming with boundless rage emanated from the converging flesh and blood in mid-air. "Wishful thinking! You're nothing but two annoying insects. If I'm determined, I can easily crush you!"
While circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries, Si Ming provocatively said in an attempt to buy time, "But it seems that you are the one who is being crushed right now. In a narrow encounter, the brave will prevail. You are afraid of death, want to live longer, dare not fight for your life, and instinctively want to retreat in the face of danger. This is your biggest reason for defeat."
"... I humbly accept your advice. As you said, it is undoubtedly a disqualification for a martial artist to be afraid to fight to the death. Therefore, I acknowledge my mistake and am ready to correct it. Now I am ready to risk my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura within the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor a powerful sorcerer) rapidly expanded and became extremely chaotic.
Si Ming's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, he plans to sacrifice a chance at rebirth by self-destructing with his Extreme Essence!"
Chapter 915 New Sword Techniques
The Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor's idea was obvious: since moves powered by Extreme Essence energy were easy to dodge, he might as well launch a full-screen attack with no blind spots, leaving the opponent nowhere to hide. At this moment, he was in the process of physical regeneration and could not use any moves, so the simplest and most brutal method was to self-destruct.
Others only have one life and dare not self-destruct unless absolutely necessary, but the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor can sacrifice his Jing Essence to revive and be reborn, so he is naturally fearless. Moreover, he has the initiative to self-destruct and can calmly control everything, thus avoiding damage to his source.
Moreover, compared to being hit by an enemy's ultimate move, self-destruction consumes less Jing Essence. For example, if he were killed by Si Ming and Murong Qing's Imperial Dragon Sword move just now, he could only be reborn twice at most. But if he self-destructs, he can have six more revelations. The choice is self-evident.
"What nonsense about risking your life? In the end, you only dare to self-destruct because you can be reborn." Si Ming scoffed dismissively.
"But he did find our weakness. Extreme Essence is indeed unstoppable. Just being swept by its residual force injured us. If we were to withstand the impact of the self-destruction, we would probably be reduced to ashes."
"You can use 'Coiling Dragon and Elusive Phoenix Conceal Immortal Traces' to dodge."
Si Ming had used this move against the Netherworld Insect Princess before; it allows one to exist between reality and illusion, thus dodging attacks.
"No, his self-destruction will definitely destroy the sword formation. If we choose to dodge, he will definitely take the opportunity to escape. After all, the Divine Pillar has been destroyed, and he has no reason to stay and fight us to the death."
While communicating at the speed of light with their spiritual senses, the two also made sword incantations with their hands to calculate. However, they both unanimously used the "Supreme Great Divination Sword Technique". Their thoughts ran wildly with the Sword Intent, analyzing all the information and clues, and formulating the best tactics.
In the blink of an eye, before the aura of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor had even reached its peak, Si Ming and Murong Qing had already devised over three hundred failed solutions and six feasible ways to break the deadlock. They ultimately chose the one that best suited them, even though it carried a great risk, because if it succeeded, the rewards would be equally enormous.
"Let's get started."
Their eyes met, and they each made up their minds.
"All Evils Fall Silent, All Wickedness Is Extinguished!"
Si Ming raised his sword and unleashed his power, the Evil-Slaying Sword Intent spreading outwards.
The air suddenly stilled, and all things fell silent.
During this period of silent stillness, Murong Qing was one of only two people who could move, as she too activated the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique.
"Slaughter Seal, Killing Realm, Sever Sin!"
This ultimate move, which should only be activated by those who have cultivated the Ten Thousand Slaughters Primordial Art, ignores all conditions of use under the blessing of the Sacred Sword. The abundant Yuan Technique condenses into the No Slaughter Sacred Seal, and the magnificent sword light cleaves the sky and cuts through the earth.
The moment the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor was frozen in place, he attempted to use his supernatural abilities to evade the attack, erasing the time it took for the opponent to attack him, and taking the opportunity to hide far away.
The result was completely ineffective, because "All Evils Fall Silent, All Wickedness Is Extinguished" only appeared to be a pause in time. In fact, it was a special state in which only the spirit could act, and it had nothing to do with time. Or, to put it another way, it was similar to Si Ming's soul entering a state of light speed, completing the battle in a short instant. Therefore, the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor's superpower did not have time to activate.
If it were only Si Ming's sword moves, at most it would only trigger the self-destruction of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor in advance. This move can freeze time and space, but its destructive power is only average and cannot inflict enough damage on the enemy. Murong Qing's sword moves are strong, but they do not have the effect of freezing time and space.
After the two joined forces, their complementary strengths created a chain reaction that even the founder had not anticipated. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to unleash a move after time and space are frozen, but Murong Qing using the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, which was unaffected by Sword Intent, and could freely accumulate sword momentum to its limit.
Amidst the terrified gaze of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor, a magnificent torrent of sword Torrent pierced straight into his body, erupting with a deafening roar. The No Slaughter Sacred Seal dissolved flesh and blood, and the soaring Sword Qi filled the heavens and earth. Countless sharp swords flew like a storm, dancing across the sky, their sword momentum like a net, sharp and unparalleled, a truly magnificent sight.
"Awooo--"
Amidst screams of agony, the self-destruction of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor was still triggered prematurely, but because most of its flesh and blood were annihilated, its power was less than one-tenth of what it should have been. Si Ming stood in front of Murong Qing, his hands clasped together, and he exerted all his strength to activate the defensive ability of the Tathagata's Indestructible Body to resist the impact of the Extreme Essence.
There was still no explosion or smoke. The objects swept by the Extreme Essence were directly annihilated, turning into particles and dissipating. Si Ming was hit again, his skin cracked all over his body, blood splattered, and the Buddha phantoms that were guarding his various acupoints dimmed. It took a while for him to recover.
Despite being severely injured by the shock, with his internal organs almost shattered, his Tathagata Dharma Body once again withstood the test.
At the same time, Murong Qing disappeared from the spot. She was chasing after the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor. Because the previous self-destruction destroyed the sword formation, the reborn Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor naturally fled desperately, even abandoning its huge and flamboyant body in the process.
In the night sky, two figures flickered incessantly, engaging in fierce battles each time they appeared, their power earth-shattering. Then, there was a pause, and the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor disappeared, reappearing in another place. But in the blink of an eye, Murong Qing caught up with him again, and the battle continued in this cycle.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor kept using his supernatural power to erase time, while Murong Qing used the Instant Sword Technique to hold on tightly.
If he were in good condition, Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor could easily get rid of Murong Qing and even injure him. However, in his eagerness to escape, he did not wait for his body to recover and fled immediately after the self-destruction. While fleeing, he sacrificed his Jing Essence to regenerate. With his mind divided and his condition extremely poor, he not only failed to get rid of Murong Qing, but was also repeatedly injured in the battle.
Si Ming did not step forward to help, but Tathagata Dharma Body's Dharma Body had reached the limit of common sense, especially in the treatment of internal injuries. If one had X-ray vision, it would not be difficult to see that his internal organs were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, like assembling building blocks.
"Keep bothering me, do you really think I can't kill you?"
Having tried various methods, he still couldn't escape Murong Qing's Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor. He was completely enraged and stopped fleeing, switching from defense to offense.
"Three Corpses Seal - Thousand Souls Sacrifice to Heaven!"
The body of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor suddenly exploded, turning into a purplish-black liquid that polluted the air and the earth. Anything that came into contact with it turned into a black substance riddled with holes, and would shatter at the slightest touch.
