Battle of Pacifying the Nether (IV)
"Let's see how much you can break down, Collapse Mountain!"
Seeing the attack neutralized again, the Menban was filled with rage. "That woman, ah!"
Despite the long battle, his Layered Mountain Sword Art had never been able to stack up. As soon as he gathered his sword momentum, this woman would pounce on him, and the large blue cauldron formed from her true energy, covering an area of tens of meters, would stick to his sword like resin.
His attacks were all neutralized, and this woman's cultivation was slightly higher than his. After fighting for so long, he had been at a disadvantage and felt very frustrated.
"If that's the case, then try this trick again," the Menban said, its eyes flashing with malice.
The true energy around his body surged like a volcanic eruption, and the mountain-like formations seemed to explode, shattering the mountain and leaving no trace.
A burst of violent true energy, as powerful as a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, suddenly erupted. The Azure Water Cauldron was directly shattered by this force, and both of them were blasted away by the power of this true energy.
The Menban retreated six zhang (approximately 33 meters) and its feet slammed heavily on the ground as it bent over. "Cough cough," it coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked up at the opposite side with a ferocious expression.
The moment the Azure Water Cauldron exploded, a stunningly beautiful figure was blasted backward, flying more than ten feet. As she landed, the woman shifted her form as if dancing, spinning several times before a faint shadow of the cauldron reappeared around her.
Looking at the Menban, the woman spoke calmly.
"Martial arts should strive for excellence; brute force is nothing more than this. Our Five Elements Heavenly Sect refines the five elements into a cauldron."
"I cultivate the gentleness of water, which can transform all things, harmonizing without contention. How can your mere brute force break through it?"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the woman's face suddenly turned deathly pale. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her aura weakened. Clearly, she had also been injured by the sudden sword strike from the Menban.
Upon seeing the woman cough up blood, the Menban grinned, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth, and laughed gleefully.
"Hahaha, you S-girl, what are you pretending for?"
"You have your limit to how much force you can apply. If you come again, I'll smash you to pieces today."
After saying this, the Menban's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and it drew its sword and charged forward. The two then engaged in a fierce battle, which quickly turned into a chaotic melee.
On another edge of the battlefield, three figures fought with a violent and surging aura of true energy, creating an earth-shattering battle. Ghost Servant was fighting against two Great Feng Ascension Realm experts who came from Da Feng.
A burly man with a green glow emanated from his body, surrounded by endless Corpse Qi. The shimmering green light and the condensed Corpse Fiend aura around him made him look like an unparalleled ferocious beast.
Surrounded by Corpse Qi, the green-glowing man charged straight at the Ghost Servant. Beside him, a golden-armored man wielding Spear Intent a sharp, soaring aura, but his target was not the Ghost Servant.
After the man in green light rushed out, he went around to the side, trying to avoid the two and head towards Cheng Shifei and Unparalleled. He knew very well who his target was: the Prince of Qin.
The Ghost Servant leaped into the air, his true energy coalescing into a giant foot beneath his feet. With a single kick, it seemed to shatter mountains and rivers, sending the burly man in green light flying several feet away.
Using the recoil of true energy, the Ghost Servant moved like the wind, like a black lightning bolt, extremely fast. The man with the gun had only rushed out more than ten feet when the Ghost Servant blocked his way.
With a flick of his sleeve, dark true energy clung to it, accompanied by a howling Gale Force, sending the figure holding the spear flying.
The Ghost Servant landed on the ground and stood still, a single person like a solid defensive line. His aura surged, and behind him, true energy condensed into a huge black mist. He wore a black robe that was completely dark even in daylight, as if darkness was swallowing everything, making people tremble.
His gaze fell on the burly man who was covered in green light, exuded overwhelming Corpse Fiend aura, and reeked of decay. His eyes showed some surprise. After fighting for so long, this guy was practically unharmed, with only minor injuries.
This is no ordinary person!
Body Cultivator, and Body Cultivator at the Peak Ascension Realm.
However, this guy wasn't a proper Body Cultivator. He didn't follow the path of qi and blood; instead, he followed the path of the corpse, using death energy, Corpse Qi, evil energy, and resentment to forcibly transform himself into a zombie.
A zombie at the Peak Ascension Realm, that's a ruthless one!
The gun-wielding man, sent flying by the Ghost Servant, crashed to the ground, a bloodstain spilling from the corner of his mouth. His lips bulged slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the mouthful of blood that had welled up. A look of pain and resentment appeared on his face.
He looked at the burly man to the side and asked in a deep voice.
"Brother Tie, what do we do? We've been fighting for so long, and neither of us can stop him or get past him!"
Ever since they rushed out, the other side has been watching them. Well, of course, someone else has also been watching the Ghost Servant —not him, but the green-glowing man beside him.
It's even possible that this green-glowing man came specifically for the Ghost Servant opposite him, who was also at the Peak Ascension Realm.
It was meant to pave the way for him, but who would have thought that a Body Cultivator at the Peak Ascension Realm would not only fail to pave the way, but both of them were also beaten back by this Ghost Servant.
They've tried everything, neither he nor his iron-clad companion can stop the Ghost Servant. They've been fighting for so long, and neither of them has been able to break through.
Their gaze drifted to a distant place, not far from where the Prince of Qin was. They had already rushed there, but what about now?
They were hundreds of meters away from that place. Every few meters they moved forward, the Ghost Servant would kick them back several meters. The more they tried to advance, the more they were pushed back.
Not only was that guy wearing a Spirit Weapon Robe, but he also moved between the two of them with ease, his speed far exceeding that of the Ascension Realm, and his attack methods were extremely bizarre.
He had several wounds on his body and internal injuries from the fight. He was only at the Mid Ascension Realm and was already struggling to hold on.
Unlike the one beside him, Peak Ascension Realm and Body Cultivator, this was the main force dealing with the Ghost Servant.
He just wanted to rush over and capture the Prince of Qin, but he couldn't get through!
The burly man next to the gunman, whose veins glowed green, also looked at the Ghost Servant with a solemn expression, glancing down at his own body.
Several wounds on his body looked rather gruesome, and there was even a footprint on his chest. Normally, these wounds would have healed instantly with his physical body, but tiny black true energy was still invading the wounds, preventing them from healing.
Surprisingly, the blood flowing from the wounds on this burly man's body was green, just like the glow emanating from the veins on his body.
Fresh blood flowed out, accompanied by a stench like that of a rotting corpse. Green blood droplets dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound as the ground corroded. The surrounding area, several dozen meters in diameter, was corroded into a luminous green color.
"Looking at the Ghost Servant," the green-glowing man said sternly.
"Hold him back. As long as he remains here, the Prince of Qin cannot escape. Once the main army breaks through the Gan Army's defenses, the Prince of Qin of Qin's fate will be the same."
The man with the gun nodded, and the two men turned their gazes back to the Ghost Servant, a sharp glint in their eyes, as if to say, "You can't escape."
Suddenly, the two realized something, their expressions becoming quite interesting. The burly man covered in Corpse Fiend spoke with a hint of anger and disdain.
"Those useless people from the Shadow Kill Hall couldn't even stop Bai Wangye, who was only at the Early Ascension Realm. What use are they?"
Both of them noticed the approaching Bai Wangye, and the man in green said in a deep voice.
"I'll hold off this Ghost Servant, you go and stop Bai Wangye. Just hold him off. The Dagan force is almost at its limit. As long as we wait for the main force to break through, victory is still assured."
After speaking, the green-glowing man unleashed a burst of Corpse Qi, as if ten thousand corpses were buried beneath his body, and charged straight at the Ghost Servant.
The man with the gun also leaped from the side. This time, the Ghost Servant did not stop him. Bai Wangye had already rushed over with a sharp sword in hand. With a swing of his sword, the sharp sword light, carrying several silver needles, rushed straight towards the man with the gun, and a fierce battle ensued.
