Ending the Battle
"Oh, then let me see just how strong your will truly is."
The Beast King Anye also unleashed the same move, its Suanni Bone Saber glowing with a dazzling red light as it slashed out.
Zheng Jingyuan's One Sword surpassed all his previous ones, entering a completely new level. His powerful spirit supported his broken and injured body, allowing him to unleash the most powerful strike of his life.
However, the world is ultimately material. Even if one surpasses their former self, it cannot bridge the vast gap between them. The blade energy shattered the sword Sword-Ray and pressed closer and closer to Zheng Jingyuan, seemingly about to lead him down the same path as his companion.
With a loud bang, the two weapons clashed, their divine power surged, and Zheng Jingyuan was thrown out, landing heavily on the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood, but he did not die.
"Sir, is this portion heavy enough?"
It was Si Ming who caught the Beast King Anye's blade. He used the Crimson Scorpion Evil Saber to block the Suanni Bone Saber, and the two struggled and reached a stalemate.
At this moment, Si Ming had already activated three divine powers, but still hadn't gained the upper hand. He was secretly surprised, but his expression remained calm as he casually said, "You can always add more if it's not enough. Our service principle is customer first, so we can keep increasing the portion until you're satisfied. If you're satisfied, remember to give us a five-star review!"
As he spoke, he secretly activated the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art, which doubled his power, finally overwhelming his opponent. He then swung his sword, forcing the Beast King Anye back several feet.
"Wow, an interesting fellow has arrived. This is the first time I've ever lost to someone in terms of strength."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it eventually."
Si Ming, never one to back down in a verbal battle, retorted and then turned to Zheng Jingyuan, saying, "Hurry up and get back with the group. Leave this man to me."
Having vented his anger with that One Sword strike, Zheng Jingyuan's mind had calmed down. He no longer insisted on staying, but hesitated and said, "But the sect leader...?"
"My companions have gone to rescue people, just take care of yourself."
Seeing that Si Ming could single-handedly hold off the Beast King Anye, Zheng Jingyuan had no doubt about his companion's strength. He nodded, immediately took Elder Feng's body, and quickly left the scene to avoid becoming a burden.
The Beast King Anye didn't stop Zheng Jingyuan from leaving, seemingly indifferent to him. Its gaze remained fixed on Si Ming, and it licked its lips, saying, "Those three guys were just fun toys; no one remembers a toy's name. But you are an opponent whose name I will remember. State your name."
"The leader of the Heavenly Martial Alliance is Si... Ma Liang." At the crucial moment, Si Ming finally didn't let the cat out of the bag, remembering the alias he had used before.
"Leader of the Heavenly Martial Alliance? Sick Young Master?"
The Beast King Anye looked at him suspiciously for a while, then pursed his lips, probably thinking the title was ridiculous, but he didn't question Si Ming's identity.
"As expected of a master who participated in the battle to kill the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, come, take three of my strikes first, and see how tough you are."
The Beast King Anye laughed loudly, his body radiating Power of Anomalies, and his aura continued to rise. The previous battle with the Third Elder of the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect was just a fun game for him, and now he was truly entering the state of battle.
"Three stabs you, my foot! One stab and your mother's gone!"
Si Ming was enveloped in golden light, instantly entering a state of Solar Prominence Eruption. Combined with the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art, he unleashed eighteen times his divine power. With a single slash, the silver river poured down, sending the Beast King Anye flying like a baseball, crashing into a mountain wall a thousand meters away.
Chapter 553 Ceasefire
The Solar Prominence Eruption would rapidly deplete his True Qi, even with the replenishment speed of the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace. Therefore, Si Ming had to finish the battle quickly. After cleaving his opponent away with a single strike that gathered divine power, he stomped his feet on the ground, causing it to explode with a bang and kicking up tons of mud and sand. The powerful momentum he gained from this propelled him forward like a cruise missile.
The Beast King Anye unleashed Power of Anomalies, blasting away the rocks that had been pressing down on him. As soon as he saw the light of day again, he saw a figure rushing towards him. He hurriedly swung his sword to block, but he could not withstand the impact of the vast divine power and was pressed deeper into the mountain.
The two engaged in a fierce battle within the mountain. The Beast King Anye was able to withstand the Si Ming, who unleashed three divine powers, demonstrating that his strength was among the top tier of those who had reached the Spirit Transformation. However, Si Ming, who was at his limit, had already surpassed common sense, his power reaching the realm of Gods and Devils. Even a seemingly ordinary strike possessed the power to split mountains and shatter the earth.
Two peerless ferocious beasts clashed fiercely, their violent forces reverberating within the mountain. Each clash was like a thunderclap in clear weather, a roar of dragons and lions, causing the entire Righteous Qi Peak to shake incessantly, resembling the Five Fingers Mountain after Tang Sanzang had removed the Buddhist scroll, threatening to collapse. The evil sect experts and Monster Race the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect trapped on the summit, although also filled with fear, were fortunate enough to escape unharmed because they dared not leave the range of the Myriad Tribulations Mystic Light Array.
"Zen Blade Subdues the Tiger!"
"Ferocious Spirit Evil Slash!"
The two, one human and one monster, unleashed their ultimate moves within the confined space. The residual force, unable to escape and further compressed, finally triggered a massive explosion after several turbulences. The eastern mountainside suddenly cracked open, spewing out countless flying rocks with the force of a volcanic eruption. Instantly, a large number of evil sect experts and Monster Race elites who had just descended the mountain were killed, while the Righteous Qi Peak was also disfigured, with a huge gap appearing.
At the same time, a figure was also shot into the sky by the explosion. It was Si Ming. His clothes were tattered, but he had few injuries. His Mercury Alloy Body was undoubtedly top-notch in terms of durability.
He struck behind him with a backhand palm, using the energy of his palm to counteract his retreat. Then, he activated his Yuan Gong, condensing the power of Asura into six ten-zhang-long evil blades, which swooped down towards the gap in the mountainside.
"Six Paths Fall Together!"
At the site of the landslide, the Beast King Anye stood amidst the rubble, letting out a wild, exhilarating laugh, as if he had never enjoyed such a satisfying battle before.
"Well done, Ferocious Spirit Divine Desolation!"
Sensing its master's soaring fighting spirit, the Suanni Bone Saber emitted an excited roar, and the shadow of a dragon beast faintly appeared. The Beast King Anye enhanced its Power of Anomalies, condensed the Blade God, and did not act rashly. However, its enormous aura enveloped the entire mountain, making the creatures that had not yet left feel as if they were being crushed by a boulder, making it difficult to breathe.
Just as the six evil blades descended upon the gap, about to strike him, a sharp glint flashed in the Beast King Anye's sinister eyes. He unleashed a horizontal slash, instantly stirring up wind and clouds, the blade's energy like a rainbow, furiously cleaving the sky.
The Six Evil Blades could not withstand the crushing force of the Vicious Spirit's blade energy, and crumbled and disintegrated inch by inch. Just as they were about to strike Si Ming, he snorted coldly, and a hundred-foot-tall Asura Wrathful Form suddenly appeared behind him. The enormous figure blocked out the sunlight, turning the vision of the Beast King Anye into shadow.
"Asura Overturns the Brahma Sea!"
Asura Wrathful Form barrage of punches, one striking the blade's energy and deflecting its trajectory, while the other struck the Beast King Anye. With a deafening roar, the terrifying force sent dust billowing through the air, piercing through the mountainside and causing the other side to explode. The remaining force surged forward, carving a flat road through the forest, destroying trees and overturning the earth. The immense power swept across the surrounding area in an instant, accompanied by a deafening, earth-shaking sound.
Upon witnessing this scene, the three forces engaged in the melee stopped in their tracks, utterly horrified and bewildered, finding the battle beyond their wildest imagination, almost like something out of a myth.
Is this something a human could do?
"He really didn't use his full strength in that fight."
Is the Beast King Anye still alive?
The next moment, at the collapsed mountain cave, a surge of sword energy erupted like a rising tide, answering everyone's questions.
"Wind Tribulation Flame Astral Qi!"
The wind of blades swept across the land, leaving nothing but barren land. Dark, malevolent flames devoured everything in their path. Power of Anomalies emanated, and Otherworld Domain unfolded. In an instant, the surrounding world transformed into a scene of purgatory. Evil currents surged, geothermal activity erupted, and fiery streams burst forth from the earth, launching an all-encompassing attack.
Si Ming was multitasking, wielding the Crimson Scorpion Evil Saber to fight head-on against the opponent's fierce wind blade energy, while simultaneously commanding the Asura Wrathful Form to suppress the evil flames.
The two fought with their ultimate moves, leaving crisscrossing knife marks on the mountainside. The clear sounds echoed endlessly, and the earth shook. The Beast King Anye charged out and slashed at Si Ming's chest with his knife, but Asura Wrathful Form swung his arm and struck the Beast King Anye head-on with a fist bigger than a man, deforming his wild and rugged face.
