A Fierce Battle Against a Golden Core Expert
The crimson flying sword suddenly released a deep red Sword-Ray, like a meteorite falling from the sky, trailing a dark red, fiery tail, slicing through the Ye Kong.
The Ghost King was surrounded by a dense aura of ghosts, and the black ghost sword in his hand seemed to carry endless evil power.
He gathered all his ghostly energy in his hands, and with a single slash, the black sword light gleamed coldly in the moonlight, like a dark, furious dragon tearing through the air as it lunged forward.
"Boom!"
A loud bang.
The Ghost King's sword disintegrated, and countless dark red Sword Qi surged into Ghost King body. Instantly, the Ghost King's soul became somewhat illusory, and he was seriously injured, but he still managed to block Du Tianhua's sword.
On the other side.
The Silver Corpse had already reached Du Tianhua.
The Silver Corpse raised its sharp claws and slashed down.
A Law Power shield appeared around Du Tianhua, and a large sword appeared in his only right hand.
This broadsword is about three feet long and its surface is as clear as a mirror. It was the weapon he used before he formed his core. It was a high-grade Spirit Artifact, but he rarely used it after obtaining the dark red flying sword.
Du Tianhua, wielding a large sword, brought it down in a single strike.
This strike, with the force of a thunderbolt, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, instantly slashed towards the Silver Corpse.
The Silver Corpse ignored the incoming broadsword, neither dodging nor avoiding it. Its sharp claws landed on the Law Power shield, producing a piercing sound, like two pieces of refined iron rubbing together.
The broadsword struck the Silver Corpse's left shoulder, the blade completely embedded in its flesh.
To Du Tianhua's surprise, after the broadsword pierced the Silver Corpse's shoulder, it could not go any further and got stuck on the hardest part of the silver Silver Corpse's skeleton.
The Silver Corpse seemed completely unconcerned about its own injuries. Its claws danced like a whirlwind, relentlessly clawing at the Law Power shield. Each collision seemed to stir up invisible ripples, emanating a chilling aura.
The shield swayed, then shattered under the Silver Corpse's relentless attacks.
Just as the Silver Corpse swung its claws once more, about to strike Du Tianhua's face...
With a thought, Du Tianhua unleashed the blade still lodged in the Silver Corpse's shoulder, its light flashing, instantly blasting a large hole in the Silver Corpse's left shoulder. The immense force sent the Silver Corpse plummeting towards the ground.
Just then, a blinding bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
In a moment of haste, Du Tianhua wielded his broadsword and charged straight at the lightning above.
Two zhang above Du Tianhua's head, lightning struck the broadsword and exploded with a deafening roar.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from directly in front of them; it was Song Wen, who only had the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
Song Wen held a short spear in his hand, which was crackling with lightning power, like winding electric snakes. The short spear was a low-grade Spirit Artifact that he had obtained from Lei Tianyu.
The wounded Ghost King and Silver Corpse also rose into the sky from different directions below, attacking Du Tianhua.
"Court death!"
Du Tianhua's eyes turned cold, and he unleashed a sword technique.
The dark red flying sword slashed down from behind Song Wen.
Du Tianhua knew that Song Wen, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator, dared to oppose him, a Golden Core stage cultivator, because of the Silver Corpse and the Ghost King.
If Song Wen hides behind the Silver Corpse and the Ghost King, the heavily injured Song Wen really won't have much of a way to deal with him.
But Song Wen's act of revealing himself and attempting a close-quarters attack was tantamount to courting death.
As long as he kills Song Wen, the threat of the Silver Corpse and the Ghost King will disappear, and he might even gain two powerful allies.
When Song Wen was less than five zhang away from Du Tianhua, the crimson flying sword arrived and pierced through Song Wen's back from behind.
The crimson Swordsmanship unleashed a torrent of magical power, instantly blasting Song Wen's body into pieces.
Before Du Tianhua could even feel joy, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Song Wen thrust his short spear forward, Du Tianhua's back.
Du Tianhua was terrified and hurriedly mobilized his internal Law Power to stop the short spear from penetrating further.
Gripping the superior-grade Spirit Artifact broadsword tightly in his hand, he nimbly turned to the side and swung the broadsword down with the force of a thunderbolt.
Song Wen was beheaded with a broadsword.
Du Tianhua suddenly stiffened, countless bolts of electricity coursed through his body, and his body quickly turned charred black, with a faint smell of burning emanating from it.
It turned out that Song Wen had injected a large amount of thunderous power into his body through the short spear, which suddenly erupted at this moment.
Lightning raged through Du Tianhua's internal organs, causing his Law Power to circulate sluggishly and his body to become extremely stiff.
Du Tianhua hurriedly mobilized his Law Power to expel the lightning from his body.
Song Wen had finally gained a slight advantage at the cost of two Death-Substitute Puppet; how could he let it slip away?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Silver Corpse and the Ghost King had already closed in fiercely.
The Silver Corpse brandished its sharp claws, reaching for Du Tianhua's left leg.
The Ghost King gripped the newly formed Ghost Sword with both hands and unleashed a powerful strike, aiming straight for Du Tianhua's face.
Due to the rampant lightning within his body, Du Tianhua was unable to immediately reconstruct his Law Power shield, so he could only raise his hand and thrust his broadsword at the Ghost King.
At the same time, he fully activated the crimson flying sword and slashed at the Silver Corpse.
He successfully forced the Ghost King back with his broadsword.
However, the crimson flying sword was slightly slower. Just as it was about to strike the Silver Corpse, the Silver Corpse's claws had already silently grabbed Du Tianhua's left leg.
Instantly, blood gushed out.
The Silver Corpse's claws gleamed with Netherglow, its five fingers like five sharp blades, instantly severing Du Tianhua's left thigh.
At this moment, the crimson flying sword struck the Silver Corpse's back.
Several of the Silver Corpse's ribs had been severed, exposing its decaying internal organs.
Du Tianhua and the Silver Corpse were both thrown into the air.
Before Du Tianhua could regain his footing, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
Du Tianhua gritted his teeth, raised his right hand, and swung his sword, slashing at the lightning above.
This time, he failed to completely extinguish the lightning. The weakened lightning struck him, blasting him and his sword from mid-air before slamming them heavily to the ground.
"Fellow Daoist, let's stop here. Everything here is yours, how about it?" Du Tianhua shouted as he plummeted downwards.
Song Wen ignored it all; isn't it a bit too late for him to sue for peace now?
With a thought, a cold light shot out, heading straight for Du Tianhua.
At the same time, the Ghost King stirred up gusts of yin wind and pounced towards Du Tianhua.
Seeing that Song Wen had no intention of stopping, Du Tianhua crushed a white ball the size of an egg with his right hand just before landing.
"Bang!"
As Du Tianhua crashed to the ground, a mist rose up, quickly turning the surrounding area within a mile into a vast expanse of white.
The Cold Moon Blade slashed into the white mist.
Song Wen was shocked to discover that the connection between him and Han Yue was rapidly weakening, and he was gradually losing control of the Cold Moon Blade.
The mist has the effect of shielding Divine Sense!
As Cold Moon Blade ventured too far into the mist, his Divine Sense could no longer perceive him, and he naturally lost control of Cold Moon Blade. Cold Moon Blade could only move through the mist by relying on its own inertia.
Previously, Song Wen had observed the battle between Du Tianhua and Qingyan Daogu through the Sacred Beetle Gu.
At this moment, Song Wen finally understood why Qingyan had entered the Spirit-Hiding Mist with a long sword in hand. Only by wielding Law Treasure could one unleash their full power within the Spirit-Hiding Mist.
Looking at the fog before him, Song Wen was caught in a dilemma.
The Spirit-Hiding Mist can restrict Divine Sense, thus preventing him from using his greatest trump card, the Death-Substitute Puppet.
To perform Death-Substitution Technique, the true body must appear within the range of Divine Sense.
Deep within the Spirit-Hiding Mist, Divine Sense is restricted, limiting one to the vicinity of their original location. In such cases, the Death-Substitution Technique becomes largely meaningless, merely resulting in being killed a few more times.
But Song Wen felt somewhat unwilling to let Du Tianhua go.
