Taking Action VI
"It's safe here; no one will harm you. Here, you remain the supreme and Great Ling Divine General."
Zhang Rongfang's voice continuously transformed into invisible tendrils, penetrating the blood and entering Auduna's ears as she fought against the blood's corrosive effects.
Her mind began to become slightly confused and she swayed. The boiling and struggling of the Spirit Thread in her body also began to slowly weaken.
Buzz!!
But in an instant, a point of Silver Light suddenly shone from between her brows.
The Silver Light transformed into a shockwave, shooting out and piercing through the blood in front of it, fiercely stabbing towards Zhang Rongfang.
Zhang Rongfang, having lost all sense of movement and believing he had temporarily subdued Auduna, was preparing to completely corrupt and eliminate her before leaving to provide support.
Suddenly, a flash of Silver Light grazed his face, cutting his cheek and leaving a thin, bloody gash.
Blood slowly seeped from the wound.
He gently reached out, dipped his hand in the blood, and put it in his mouth.
"Cannot heal?"
A cold smile crept across Zhang Rongfang's face as he looked at Auduna was bound and restrained by the Lotus Throne platform.
At this moment, the entire Lotus Throne began to tremble violently.
The blood rippled outwards in concentric circles, as if something inside was about to burst forth.
The trembling grew stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
Finally, poof! A beam of Silver Light shot out from within, piercing the blood on the Lotus Throne and striking the mountain wall on one side.
Immediately afterwards, a second, third, and fourth densely packed silver beams burst forth from the center, instantly riddling the blood Lotus Throne with holes.
"Zhang Rongfang!! I admit I underestimated you. But from now on, I won't make that mistake again."
Auduna swung her battle halberd through the blood, tearing apart the Lotus Throne, and walked out step by step.
At this moment, her entire body was enveloped in an invisible, thick, and powerful aura.
The airflow appeared powerful, but it didn't affect the surrounding ground stones at all. Instead, in Zhang Rongfang's perception, it swirled and swept around, like boiling water.
The air currents distorted the light and the sound of the wind, interfering with his perception of everything around him.
"Is this the mental attack of Great Grandmaster?" Zhang Rongfang asked, squinting.
"Psychological warfare?" Auduna scoffed. "Looks like your master didn't teach you anything."
"But it doesn't matter anyway, after today, whether you know or not will be irrelevant."
She raised her halberd.
Swish! The tip of the halberd pointed at Zhang Rongfang.
"Where is Feng Ling?!"
Suddenly she shouted sharply.
Boom!!!
With a loud shout, the invisible energy surrounding her rapidly transformed, and large patches of Silver Spirit Thread quickly emerged from her skin.
The Spirit Thread and airflow combined and wove together into a gigantic silver dragon.
The dragon is six meters tall, has two wings, a snake-like neck, pure white eyes, and an invisible roar that it emits when it opens its mouth.
"Nine Dragons Flying Spirit Halberd!"
Auduna raised her halberd high, her eyes also turning pure white.
"Kill!!"
She brandished her battle halberd.
At the same time, the silver dragon also flapped its wings suddenly.
Laugh!!
The flying dragon vanished, transforming into a silver mist that lunged towards Zhang Rongfang.
Its speed was almost the same as when the Spirit Thread burst out, reaching 300 meters in an instant!
In an instant, the silver dragon flew to Zhang Rongfang's front, opened its mouth, and bit his head.
At this moment, Zhang Rongfang felt a strange stiffness in all his muscles, as if countless tiny forces were constantly interfering with his exertion from all directions.
"Interesting."
He raised his head and looked directly into the silver dragon's white eyes.
Those eyes seemed to share the same connection as Auduna's eyes at that moment. The Blood Lotus pattern instantly spread and expanded from his back.
Zhang Rongfang suddenly raised his hand, and his right arm expanded and grew larger in a flash, transforming into a blood-red giant hand that was much larger than himself, which fiercely grasped the dragon's neck.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the Spirit Thread lines on the dragon's neck slicing through Zhang Rongfang's palm like chainsaws.
But as soon as the skin was cut open, the Spirit Thread was corroded by the gushing blood and turned into black ash.
Then the skin heals, then it's cut open again and corroded.
This process is repeated.
For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate in the canyon.
The silver dragon struggled and roared, but it was unable to break free from Zhang Rongfang's Innate Giant Strength after his Blood Lotus transformation.
Boom.
Just then, Zhang Rongfang heard a soft sound in his mind, like a line segment breaking.
His eyes shifted slightly, and he glanced around with his eyes closed.
A large red line, indicating Bloody Tracking, appeared and lit up before his eyes.
One of the thickest red lines suddenly snapped at that moment.
'That's...!?'
The moment Zhang Rongfang saw it, his face darkened.
A Blood Descendant master from the Heaven Character Division is dead!? There were no warning signs, not even a chance for the damage to subside, before he jumped directly to the death stage.
Open your eyes.
A blood-red crystal slowly appeared between his brows, set like an eye.
He no longer wanted to waste any more time with Auduna.
Resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
Make a decision in your mind.
Zhang Rongfang's eyes gleamed even more fiercely with bloodlust.
'White Scale.'
'Exist!'
Call!!
At the same time, four powerful auras belonging to Gods and Buddhas surged and exploded from behind him.
It charged straight at the silver dragon in front of it, freezing it in place, while a portion of it also rushed towards Auduna.
"Final Form: Godspeed!"
Zhang Rongfang's body swelled, grew larger, and taller. Before it was fully transformed, he turned into a faint phantom and disappeared from the spot.
"Kill!!!" Auduna roared, swinging her halberd and lunging forward.
Under the pressure of the military force, she was able to see the opponent's speed and react accordingly.
So! Let's begin the next round! Click! A crisp sound rang out.
Auduna's eyes widened in surprise, and she froze on the spot.
The halberd in her hand hovered in mid-air before snapping in two with a crash, like a dry stalk of wheat, the front broken off and flying horizontally from her side.
Boom!! At the same time, Auduna's body flew backward, as if hit by an invisible force, and crashed heavily into the mountain wall.
The layers of rock behind her were smashed and shattered.
Large chunks of rock broke off and fell, instantly burying the area where she was standing.
She felt excruciating pain all over her body, and an incredibly terrifying sense of threat surged from directly in front of her.
She wanted to Great God Descent, but the sense of threat quickly dissipated.
Inside the mountain, in the rock passage that was carved out by the impact.
Zhang Rongfang grabbed Auduna's head with one hand and pinned her to the stone wall.
He had a feeling that he could extract something from the other person with just a thought, or even kill them instantly.
This seems to be a special ability he has never used before, brought about by Soul Plunder.
But at the same time, the Enemy Anticipation was also constantly warning him.
Once he uses Soul Plunder, Auduna will surely Great God Descent.
"Do you need it?" Zhang Rongfang stared at Auduna, then gently released her.
The ability to Soul Plunder is too troublesome; once used, it will surely incur the wrath of all Gods and Buddhas.
At that time, it might attract all the Gods and Buddhas to intercept and kill it.
It's not the right time yet. "Well then, see you next time."
Thud! In an instant, Zhang Rongfang crushed Auduna's head with his palm. At the same time, countless drops of blood seeped from his palm, pouring into the wound on Auduna's neck.
The Spirit Thread and blood clashed violently, producing plumes of smoke.
Auduna was about to activate the Great God Descent, but stopped. A single momentary misjudgment was enough to determine the life or death of a battle between Great Grandmaster.
She had finally been resurrected, and it took her a year to recover from her injuries and regain her military strength. And now... "Looking forward to seeing you again." Zhang Rongfang smiled slightly, watching as the other person's body was completely covered and submerged in blood.
Then he turned and headed towards the exit.
"Divine Descent too often really does damage one's intelligence," he suddenly realized, somewhat understanding the pain and dilemma of the Spirit General.
People may be able to accept dying completely, but it is much harder to accept becoming increasingly stupid.
After all, many people hope to die with dignity, rather than live a life devoid of dignity.
Bang! The rocks at the entrance of the passage were smashed apart by the tremendous force, revealing the exit.
Zhang Rongfang walked out of the mountain passage and looked at the group of people from Heaven Character Division who were hiding in the shadows in the distance, trembling with fear.
"Guard this place."
"Yes!"
Many Human Immortal Temple priests from the Immortal Temple responded enthusiastically.
When they looked up again, there was no one in sight.
*** Guan Du River.
The Human Immortal Temple fought and retreated, dragging out a battle line several kilometers long. They only stopped at their branch stronghold at the Guan Du River, where they used the stronghold to send messages, hold their positions, and await reinforcements.
Unfortunately.
The two Blood Descendant grandmasters from the two Heaven Character Division were Divine Descent by one of the Holy Cross Star during their Final Form all-out battle.
In a one-on-one duel, only the Final Form. The two grandmasters from the Heaven Character Division activated their Blood Lotus, firmly gaining the upper hand over their opponents.
But after the Holy Cross Star initiated the Divine Descent, the situation was completely reversed.
The divine Divine Descent activated by a Grandmaster, with its suppressive divine power, while not as powerful as that of Great Grandmaster or Spirit General, still creates a significant imbalance in combat strength among experts of the same level.
In just a few dozen rounds, one of the Blood Descendant masters of the Heaven Character Division was killed.
The Human Immortal Temple lost a top expert, and the rest were no match for the Holy Cross Star, and were killed one after another.
Within minutes, only a dozen or so Daoists remained on the field, protecting Chang Yuqing and the others.
If it weren't for the fact that the deceased grandmaster's blood ultimately corroded the body of a Holy Cross Star, severely injuring him.
I'm afraid they won't last until now.
The casualties at the Human Immortal Temple were heavy, and the situation was equally difficult for the White Ten Sect.
Only three knights of the entire White Ten Sect remain.
Flan Sain and another Holy Cross Star Mina both suffered injuries, one minor and one serious.
Moreover, the blood corrosion caused by the Blood Immortal Path cannot be healed quickly.
"Very good. You're all very good!!" Flan Sain's eyes were slightly crazed as he stared intently at the last remaining Grandmaster of the Heaven Character Division.
"It seems I underestimated you." He stood by the Guan Du River, watching Chang Yuqing and the others who were also gathered at a distance on the riverbank.
"I thought the mere Human Immortal Temple was just a small fry that could be wiped out at will. With our massive army pressing in, I doubt you would dare to provoke us."
I never expected you guys to be so bold!
Flan Sain moved forward step by step.
He was still in Divine Descent state, his eyes gleaming with a blinding Silver Light, and an invisible divine aura emanating from behind him, making it difficult for those around him to breathe.
"Weren't you guys so arrogant?! You were just yelling that we were asking for death?" Flan Sain said.
"Now, let's see who's courting death?"
"Don't waste time, Flan Sain," Mina, another Holy Cross Star, said in a deep voice.
"With so many casualties, we must bring back enough spoils! Otherwise, the Archbishop will not be satisfied."
"You think you've already won??" Chang Yuqing sneered from the other side. "Master must already know you killed the people from the Heaven Character Division. So, you're all dead!"
She knew her master Zhang Rongfang's attitude.
Ordinary Blood Descendant don't care how many die, but master-level Blood Descendant are the fundamental foundation of the Human Immortal Temple.
The death of even one of them is like cutting off a piece of his flesh!
Therefore, Master will definitely arrive immediately. Perhaps these two thought that the Human Immortal Temple would back down or send more Grandmasters as a last resort.
Unfortunately, they underestimated their master's speed and agility. At his speed, it would only take him a short while to get here from inside the temple. "Dead? Heh, still stubborn even when death is imminent. If your temple master dares to come, the Archbishop and the chief judge would be more than happy to welcome him to the port," Flan Sain said meaningfully.
