A Life-and-Death Saber Stroke, Swift as a Flashing Lantern

The most disgusting opponents are often those who have the ability to threaten you, and you have no idea when they will make their move.

As Chu Tianshu slipped past the Heavenly Official, Yuan Buyu rushed forward, seemingly about to make a move.

However, when Chu Tianshu fought Yu Huangfen the nine-bend tunnel split open, they continued straight ahead.

Yuan Buyu seemed to have changed his mind and did not rush directly towards the flashing swords.

He maintained a steady distance, occasionally shifting his arm slightly.

Chu Tianshu was not fooled three out of four times when threatened.

However, there was one time when Chu Tianshu focused too much on something else, and his left arm suddenly received several more knife wounds.

The knife on the Yu Huangfen seemed to possess the power to cleave a tree through paper.

In such a wide-ranging and intense battle, his sword can still minimize unnecessary wear and tear.

The sword energy only truly erupted when it wanted to penetrate into the meridians of Chu Tianshu's arm.

Fortunately, Chu Tianshu's Great Void Internal Art neutralized the poison, at least locking in the injury.

He gritted his teeth slightly, about to draw his sword again.

Several figures suddenly swooped down from above the pond.

A burly man with a dog's head and a human body, a woman with a sour, red body, and a short, fat monster as hard as a rock whose gender was indistinguishable.

A flamboyant monster with three heads and four arms, but as thin as a bamboo pole!

They actually rushed towards the Yu Huangfen.

These figures were all powerful spirits and monsters attending the meeting; they couldn't possibly have come voluntarily to attack the commander appointed by the Ghost Mother Clan.

But the force of their attack seemed to set all the blood in their veins ablaze.

The bloodline of the spirit burned into a purplish-red flame.

Their arms and figures clearly demonstrated extremely skillful fist, palm, and claw techniques.

The terrifying air pressure instantly filled the entire pond, showing signs of pressing the bottom silt down by seven feet and widening all the surrounding pond walls.

Yu Huangfen's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed the absolute bestiality emanating from these powerful spirits, a ferocity that was burning both body and soul and refused to give up.

Chu Tianshu's expression also changed.

Lin Chucheng!

He also practiced the Drifting Tumbleweed Under Heaven Peaches and Plums Diagram" but did not cultivate the Peach and Plum Saber Qi. Instead, he used it all to feed the vital energy of the stone tablet in the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom.

Nurture that unique vitality like a seed, allowing it to sprout.

It is like a life force that can turn jade into immortality, or a beastly nature that commands the respect of all animals.

Lin Chucheng separated this power and injected it into his four opponents, stimulating their uncontrollable bloodline power and driving them towards him.

In such a short time, he injured Busha all four powerful spirits, and even divided his own power to bombard their bodies.

Lin Chucheng's actions went beyond mere danger; they were downright madness.

Moreover, it was a kind of weathered, calm, and even playful madness.

If Yuan Buyu had stayed on the battlefield, Lin Chucheng might have had a different approach.

However, Yuan Buyu followed Chu Tianshu to his place.

This led to the current situation.

The fervor in Chu Tianshu's eyes ignited to its limit in an instant, and the red light in his pupils almost dyed the Heavenly Eye on his forehead red.

The Sanqi Divine Sword, imbued with his burning soul-stirring Sword Intent, erupted and flew from his hand, transforming into a long, blood-red rainbow.

Because its will was too fierce, this rainbow could not follow a straight line in a conventional way.

Instead, it moved like a wild dragon, flashing and weaving among the four powerful spirits in an instant.

The four monsters and the sword, facing the Yu Huangfen, formed a net-like attack, like a massive meteorite pressing down from the wilderness.

As Chu Tianshu released his longsword, he suddenly twisted his body, his stance like a raging tiger, his forehead slamming into the air, and chaotic energy rippled outwards with the sound ring.

"Hmph! You've already achieved quite a few victories, yet instead of taking the opportunity to retreat, you're attacking me?!"

Yuan Buyu's mind raced, a mixture of annoyance and confidence on his face, and he raised his arms.

Azure blue Gang Qi instantly emanated from all the acupoints on his body, simultaneously radiating outwards and forming a perfectly spherical protective shield.

Although he stood on the mud, the moment he unleashed this layer of Gang Qi, he exuded an imposing aura, as firm and unyielding as a mountain.

It seems that this circle itself has already endured the polishing and pressure of countless deep-sea currents.

The more it is polished, the smoother and more stable it becomes, forming an indescribable mother-child relationship with the earth's water veins.

This circle is the essence of the sea.

This rigidity is a tight structure bestowed by the extremely flexible yet thick earth's water veins.

The Hollow Radiance White Ape's "Thousand Transformations Ice Shield" talent.

After being catalyzed by the full power of the "Water Demon Virgin Art".

This is how the perfect Gang Qi, like the essence of the ocean, was created, possessing a captivating and alluring charm!

In Chu Tianshu's view, this seemingly pure, simple, and beautiful Gang Qi actually had an incredibly complex internal structure.

It's not the purity that's attractive; rather, it's the complexity that makes it so appealing.

When a person's vision or spiritual sense comes into contact with it, it's as if they've touched some kind of talisman.

Only then would one feel the captivating allure of that perfectly spherical, azure-blue Gang Qi —a charm that transcends the mundane and is utterly mesmerizing.

With his Mountain Collapse Divine Palm, it would probably take more than twenty rounds to determine the range of its physical waveform.

However, the Mountain Collapse Divine Palm is not only used to test weaknesses; it is also an extremely powerful way to exert force.

Yuan Buyu seemed to see Chu Tianshu, who had already come to her, suddenly shrink and move away.

It was almost shrunk to a tiny dot, and you could only vaguely make out that it was a fully clothed human figure.

Before Yuan Buyu could even form a new thought, Chu Tianshu suddenly pressed his face against hers!

He slammed his palm into the azure-blue Gang Qi!

That sudden distance, that astonishing closeness, is an illusion.

In reality, Chu Tianshu was always nearby; it was just that when he stirred up the energy within his body and grasped the waveform, this strange phenomenon occurred.

By grasping one's own waveform, at the extreme points of back-and-forth turbulence, a tremendous force is generated that almost surpasses the peak.

All the various energies absorbed by the General Outline of Superior Methods were accumulated in this palm strike and then pushed out.

Bang!!!!

A sea-blue Gang Qi trembled violently.

Even Yuan Buyu's face trembled for a moment, forming waves.

No matter what his expression was before, he couldn't maintain it now.

He felt as if he had encountered an underwater earthquake, and the connection between the azure Gang Qi and the underground water veins was severed by the shock.

The entire Gang Qi ball retreated violently, making a large hole in the inner wall of the pool with a loud pop.

The azure light rapidly receded into the large hole, quickly pushing aside the soil and rocks along its path.

It almost crashed through a tunnel.

Chu Tianshu took a big step and chased into the tunnel, his figure flying in a straight line. He watched as the blue light grew larger and became within reach.

Thump!!

Chu Tianshu's right hand was deeply immersed in the blue light, gripping and twisting.

The azure-blue Gang Qi was already unstable due to his previous palm strike.

This time, it looked exactly like a piece of blue rubber that had been twisted into a swirling pattern.

Under immense force, it suddenly broke open.

Although the Gang Qi was broken, Yuan Buyu's body was still pulled and moved by the force of the pull.

The distance between them suddenly shrank even further.

Chu Tianshu's left hand lashed out, his fist aimed straight for his collarbone.

Without hesitation, the monkey raised its arm to block, feeling a sharp pain in its collarbone, but it dared not be careless and quickly covered its head with its hand.

Chu Tianshu's right hand struck him like a heavy hammer, making his head droop slightly.

After Yuan Buyu mastered the "Leakless Mystic Art," he relied on his bloodline talent and the Water Demon Virgin Art, an endurance technique tailored for the White Ape Clan.

His skill was so profound that he believed he could even put up a fight against a human's Double Flawlessness.

He dared to come alone to negotiate with the Heavenly Official and the Earthly Ruler, precisely because he had the confidence to do so.

However, the profoundness of Chu Tianshu's cultivation technique was no less than that of the white ape.

Moreover, he had cultivated the talent of Myriad Evils Refine Forms since childhood, and had grasped the abstract meaning of different techniques in a concrete and subtle way.

He also realized that he could use the true meaning of "destruction" to connect different techniques into one.

In his eyes, Yuan Buyu merely a human shield, which was not meant as a derogatory term, but rather an objective assessment.

The so-called meat shield is...

"Stupid monkey, in a one-on-one fight, you wouldn't stand a chance against me!!"

Chu Tianshu's thoughts expanded along with the radiation waves, and his fists and feet also expanded, like heavy hammers and axes, striking seven times in a flash.

Yuan Buyu took it all on.

But the pain was fleeting.

He wasn't afraid of pain, but another unsettling feeling, like a flash flood, surged from the spot where he had just been hit up his spine.

Then, from his spine, it surged violently into his mind!

That wasn't pain, that was... bliss!

Yuan Buyu had never imagined that such a comfortable feeling could exist in the world; he felt as if his bones had melted and shattered.

Like the crispiest sesame seed cake, it crumbled into pieces and crumbs.

But that shattering actually made him feel more comfortable; he just wished it would shatter faster and more completely.

For someone with Leakless Mystic Art, even if their bones are truly broken, they can be temporarily held together with their power, and may even heal completely.

However, Yuan Buyu's inner strength suddenly dissipated in the bliss.

"Ugh!!"

The first cry of the ape transformed into an indescribable roar.

Even if he practiced the "Virginity Skill," or even if he practiced another set of techniques from his clan, the "Hundred Desires Ape Demon Great Art," he had already indulged in pleasure to the fullest and was close to seeing through the illusions of the world.

If they were to actually face Chu Tianshu's onslaught, they probably still wouldn't be able to withstand it.

At that moment, Chu Tianshu felt a sudden chill in his heart.

Puff!!!

Yuan Buyu's dissipated and bursting power was like countless thin, sharp, and long blue blades, incredibly strong and resilient.

The number of acupoints in his body was equal to the number of blue blades that burst forth in a single motion.

The entire ape vanished in an instant, leaving only a giant blue sphere of blades spinning wildly at high speed.

The surrounding soil and rocks were destroyed by the blade in the blink of an eye, especially the soil and rocks in the air, which were directly chopped into tiny fragments that shot into the sky.

The tunnel, which was originally dark and shrouded in darkness, was easily turned into a large pit.

Chu Tianshu was the person closest to the ball of knives at that moment.

In that instant, he didn't have time to move to another direction.

Chu Tianshu could only use his hands to move rapidly, striking countless times in an instant with powerful hand seals and finger strength.

In the nick of time, when his sleeves and chest were completely ripped apart, he cut off the blade.

The biting cold made his face appear icy blue.

That was Saber Intent, not the Saber Intent that had been planted in Yuan Buyu's body beforehand.

However, at the moment when Yuan Buyu beyond redemption, he lost control of his own power.

Yu Huangfen remotely used his Saber Intent, aligned with the Water Demon Virgin Art, to remotely control Yuan Buyu's power, transforming it into a sword.

As Chu Tianshu had to deal with the knife-like ball in front of him, he realized with alarm that it was a deadly threat.

In the pond.

The ground around the Yu Huangfen was littered with broken corpses, scattered in Sanqi.

The knife in his hand suddenly felt as heavy as a deep ocean current, and then suddenly felt light.

As fleeting as a revolving lantern between life and death.

A lifetime of memories, condensed into the fleeting moment before death—how swift is the flash of a blade.

This blade of light was as intricate as the afterimage of dragon scales, yet as fluid as the sunlight filtering through the clouds.

It came at an angle and sliced into Chu Tianshu's back.
