Black-Robed Invasion, Identity Exposed (Please Follow)

In an instant, a point of red light shot toward Wang Xuance's brow. It was so fast that not even the faintest sound could be heard!

With a crack, the azure faceplate shattered!

The red light pierced the skin of his forehead, and a piercing pain surged over him like a tide. Before he could think, a golden shadow spread across his right fist, which he fiercely swung at his brow.

Clang—

Wang Xuance felt his right arm go numb and itch. Struck by the force of his fist, that crimson gleam slid past the side of his neck!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A faint ripple spread through the air, followed by a great buzzing as scarlet threads whirled into flight.

Wu Shan curled and extended the five fingers of his right hand within his wide sleeve, then clenched them hard. Scarlet radiance rapidly burst outward from him in all directions.

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

Three dull, muffled sounds rang out in succession. Blood splashed through the air, scarlet liquid carpeting the ground. The stench of blood was overpowering, and the scene was utterly chilling!

"Oh? You actually dodged my first Bloodglow Needle. Heh, heh, rather interesting!"

[True Martial Qi +100!]

[True Martial Qi +100!]

Wang Xuance was both shocked and enraged. The flesh on his forehead had split open; it had only been a hair's breadth away from piercing his skull.

His gaze flicked toward the distance, where a scarlet needle as fine as an ox hair lay on the ground.

The red gleam that had ambushed him without a sound, viciously and nearly pierced through his brow, had been this very thing.

Wang Xuance had been alert enough to evade that incomparably sinister killing needle, but the others had not been so fortunate.

In the distance, Wu Shan held the unconscious Li Mingyu by the head. With a twist of force, there came a crisp crack, and the entire neck was crushed into several segments like cotton. With a casual toss, blood gushed from all seven orifices. The corpse flew dozens of yards away and died on the spot!

The three elite disciples from Iron Garment, Giant Whale, and Forest Martial Hall had long since died. Each bore a bloody hole in the forehead, terror frozen on their faces as they died with their eyes unclosed!

"Hahaha, so it really is you, brat! Good, good! You really were here!"

Madness filled Wu Shan's eyes as he stared at Wang Xuance with a vicious, sinister gaze.

Wang Xuance touched the skin between his brows. Relying on his formidable blood and qi, countless granules of flesh had already begun to grow and heal the wound.

Had the faceplate not blocked it for a moment and given him a sliver of time to react, he would likely have died as miserably as the three corpses on the ground.

"You vicious little wretch!"

"Courting death!"

"You brazen madman! You dare kill my disciple!"

With the elite disciples of the four martial halls all dead, thunderous roars of fury erupted from every direction. Four vast auras pressed down together.

They were like the surging, collapsing waters of the Yellow River rushing close, their roaring tide deafening and their mighty force irresistible.

Struck by those auras, Wu Shan's sleeves burst apart. He could only grunt and stagger back several steps.

"Heh heh, esteemed seniors, if you do not reveal yourselves now, when will you?"

As soon as the words fell, two vast streams of azure radiance rose from the northern and southern sides of White Light City, shooting over at tremendous speed!

Like two snow-white flood dragons pouring down from a massive waterfall, they danced through the air, their momentum like a rainbow piercing the sun. They lightly swept before Wu Shan, severing that inexplicable force.

The pressure on him immediately eased. He spat out a mouthful of bloody water, instantly feeling much better as he gasped for breath.

"Hahaha, Old Rock Ghost, after all these years, your strength has not improved at all!"

"Tsk, tsk, Old White Daoist, it has been a long time. I trust you have been well!"

At some unknown moment, six black-robed figures of varying heights had appeared in the sky. Yet every one of their auras was no weaker than those of the hall masters, and they had arrived together.

One of them cast a sidelong glance at Wu Shan and chuckled.

"Kid, do not forget the mission. You know the consequences if you fail."

Rip!

The black robes of the six figures billowed without wind as vast True Martial Qi poured forth. Their bodies flashed, charging straight at the six hall masters.

"Enough. Now it is time to settle matters between us. Will you hand it over yourself, or shall I take it from your corpse?"

"You really made me search for you long enough..."

Wu Shan's expression twisted with madness as his pale white teeth lightly clicked together.

Step by step, he walked toward Wang Xuance. The Date-Pit Golden Seal on his brow flashed, and a ring of golden-red Essence of Blood and Qi emerged around him, lively and leaping, its momentum immense!

"Heh. You want my life? That depends on whether you have the skill!"

Wang Xuance remained expressionless. He merely stood up, dusted the dirt from his robe, and said mockingly.

"Good, good! You are the bravest person I have ever met. Once I split open your skull later, let us see whether you can still be so tough!"

Whoosh!

Wu Shan swept his sleeve, and a scarlet blade tore through the air. Like a vicious flood dragon that devoured men, it stabbed straight at Wang Xuance's face.

Clang—

A ripple exploded through the air. Before the blade could pierce him, Wang Xuance's golden fist smashed into it and sent it flying back.

His feet planted one before the other like nails, and the great dragon of his spine sprang up as he shot forward with a whoosh.

Dispersing Clouds, Scattering Snow!

His Fist Aura was heavy and fierce as the vault of heaven pressing down, roaring toward Wu Shan's head.

"Hmph, a paltry trick!"

Wu Shan formed a claw with five fingers, forcing out several scarlet threads of blood with a series of pops, then yanked backward!

Qilian Mountain Sword Dao Pavilion, First Form: Lashing the Milky Way!

The scarlet blade that Wang Xuance had knocked aside with one punch seemed to be pulled by some force. With a whoosh, it split into six red shadows and flew back.

Their target was precisely Wang Xuance's back!

If Wang Xuance insisted on hammering Wu Shan to death, his back would surely be pierced through. Left with no choice, he withdrew his fist and swung it behind him.

Eight-Armed Vajra!

Clang! Clang! Clang—

Eight fist edges crashed out like waves striking the shore, one wave following another, fierce beyond compare and endless without limit, scattering the red shadows in every direction.

[True Martial Qi +80!]

[True Martial Qi +80!]

[True Martial Qi +80!]

Wu Shan also seized the chance to shift several yards away. His eyes burned as he stared fixedly at Wang Xuance, speaking word by word in a grim tone.

"Vajra Fist at the perfected level. That martial art truly allows a martial artist to swiftly grasp the true essence of Buddhist Sect martial arts!"

"Hahaha! My journey of a thousand miles was not in vain. Brat, you truly must die now. Only I deserve to cultivate that martial art!"

With an angry roar, he smashed both fists into his chest and spat out a clump of golden-red blood. Then he formed a sword gesture with two fingers and swept it across before him. The Essence of Blood and Qi mixed with his blood qi, collapsing and spreading into countless clouds of blood mist.

Golden threads flowed, their aura long and lingering!

The six red shadows shot into the blood mist like homing doves returning to their nest.

Blood Slaughter!

Wu Shan shouted inwardly. A three-foot Blood Sword with an overpowering stench of blood floated before him. Clusters of light gathered over the blade, and even an ordinary person could see the sword tip's aura soaring wildly, Sword Qi cold and menacing!

It seemed that activating this Blood Sword had exhausted all his strength. The instant the blade took shape, his aura plunged to rock bottom, his face turned deathly pale, and sweat poured down like rain.

"Die for me!"

With a thought, he swept his sword fingers horizontally and pointed at Wang Xuance.

"Go!"

Whoosh!

The Blood Sword blurred and vanished from its original spot. The next moment, Wang Xuance once again felt the sensation of his brow splitting open—but this time, he knew it was a life-or-death crisis he could not withstand!

I have to risk it!

As the thought arose, Wang Xuance poured True Martial Qi into the Great Arm Scripture.

He poured in a full one thousand two hundred and twenty strands of True Martial Qi. Purple-golden qi coiled around Wang Xuance's body as though a celestial being sheltered him, giving him a solemn and precious bearing!

[Thud!!]

[High-grade Profound-rank martial art Great Arm Scripture advancement begins!]

[Great Arm Scripture: 1220/2000 (Beginner) Copper Flood Dragon Realm]

[True Martial Qi]: 0

Wang Xuance exhaled a breath of pale golden turbid air. The boundless, ocean-like blood and qi within him, as abundant as a rainbow spanning the heavens, suddenly poured back into his dantian and condensed into a round, emerald-green pill pearl.

Two tiny azure flood dragons, lifelike and covered in grim scales, coiled atop the pill pearl. Their five claws gripped the pearl, their ferocity fully revealed!

The corner of Wang Xuance's mouth curled slightly. A vast aura instantly erupted from his body, like an azure rainbow blooming as it sought to pierce the sky.

In an instant, both arms turned azure, muscles knotting with immense strength. Two emerald-green runes crawled across his arms like two fanged azure flood dragons eager to devour living beings.

Great Arm Scripture, First Form: Azure Edge Battle Slaughter!

He pulled his arms back, and two ferocious azure flood dragon phantoms materialized. Their heads opened bloody maws slightly as azure threads flowed ceaselessly, emitting a humming cry!

Whoosh—

Wang Xuance silently spoke in his heart.

"Go!"

The twin flood dragons spat out two azure edges each a yard long. Their momentum was like a rainbow as they bore the force of wind and thunder toward Wu Shan.

Where the two stood, Sword Qi surged and Fist Aura shattered!

The ground around the arena had long since become riddled with pits and hollows, while dust flew into the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang—

The Blood Sword and azure edges collided, striking out a string of unimaginable sparks and sending countless azure and crimson ripples spreading outward.

With a crack.

The Blood Sword trembled all over before exploding apart. One azure edge turned into a thread of green light, pierced through the Blood Sword's body, and lunged forward.

Pfft!

That Blood Sword was linked to Wu Shan's mind. With the blade destroyed, he naturally suffered the backlash as well. After spraying out a mouthful of blood qi, his aura fell again and again, leaving him utterly listless.

The azure edge had not lost any strength. Like a violent storm, it swept in to kill him. Wu Shan's aura had withered to the extreme; how could he have even the slightest strength left to resist? He could only close his eyes and await death.

"Heh heh, little fellow, Wu Shan cannot die here just yet!"

A sudden voice echoed through the surroundings.
