The Blood River Surged, One Good Deed Its Dam
When these Seven Souls first left the body, each soul still retained a slight influence of the will of the Wu Shanjun's soul.
Therefore, all Seven Souls took on human form, complete with hair ornaments and long robes, and were still speaking.
However, the Mountain Collapse Divine Sword, starting from the weak point of the Seven Souls' transformation, expanded to the surrounding area, causing the Seven Souls to split apart and fall into a situation similar to an ordinary person being hit in a vital spot.
In the blink of an eye, the seven figures turned into seven wisps of smoke, dissipating and drifting away.
The enormous remains of the Dharma Aspect are already falling.
The smile on Wu Shanjun's face had vanished, but he showed no sign of panic. He let out a resolute shout.
"The heart resides in the mind, and the mind is the sword!!"
These six words have absolutely nothing to do with the Buddhist Six-Character Mantra, but when he recited them, there were sounds like a Zen bell shaking and a Dharma gong resounding.
The head of the remains of the Dharma Aspect is located directly above Chu Tianshu and Wu Shanjun.
With this loud shout, the enormous head of the Dharma Aspect, like a weathered boulder, suddenly turned into fine sand and ashes on the outside, which drifted and scattered diagonally.
A perfectly healthy head transformed into a massive, blood-red sword in an instant, its tip pointing directly at Chu Tianshu before crashing down.
The sword also has many brain-like grooves on its blade, with wrinkled and bloated lines that give a dizzying and nauseating feeling.
The mind resides in the brain, and the brain is the sword!
Chu Tianshu's Sanqi suddenly trembled, and the surface of the blade seemed to be covered with a layer of fine flower petals, which was the manifestation of auspicious energy.
Although Wu Shanjun was determined to subdue his enemy, the moment the auspicious energy clashed with the Blood Sha energy, the malevolent energy began to dissolve, becoming slippery and impossible to grasp.
As Chu Tianshu instantly withdrew his sword, Wu Shanjun managed to pluck off only a layer of flower petals with both hands.
The blood-red giant sword fell, but Chu Tianshu had already drawn his sword and retreated.
The giant sword, like a long red wall, stood between the two, continuing its descent.
Bite!!!
Chu Tianshu dodged and returned, thrusting his sword into the "red wall".
The Sanqi Divine Sword are as swift as starlight and as dense as a torrential rain.
In the short time it took for the "Red Wall" to fall, he unleashed hundreds of sword strikes, the cries of the swords merging into a long, drawn-out sound.
The sword's force did not damage the red wall; it penetrated the body and struck towards Wu Shanjun on the opposite side.
With petals still clinging to his hands, Wu Shanjun suddenly saw hundreds of lights appear on the red wall in succession.
The silvery Sword Radiance, as thin as steel needles, pierced through from different angles, striking Wu Shanjun's entire body.
"Pain!"
Wu Shanjun's hands moved with lightning speed, deflecting the Sword Qi, yet he was struck by three needles in succession on his philtrum, lower lip, and left shoulder.
The pain from those three needles was beyond his expectations, and it seemed to inexplicably stir a sense of sadness within him.
But given his temperament, he was able to withstand it. What truly shocked him was something else entirely.
Wu Shanjun's three souls were trained to be extremely tight, and Chu Tianshu's zither music Sword Intent could not separate them in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Wu Shanjun can also use his mind to detect external objects and summon malevolent energy.
The most important component of his current strength is the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, and he feels that although his Seven Souls are destroyed, it doesn't pose a significant obstacle.
He didn't care about problems like not being able to breathe.
Can't breathe? Then I'll just stop breathing!
But the Seven Souls represent much more than just breathing.
Non-Poison, Thief Swallower, Filth Removal, discerning advantages and disadvantages, digesting external forces, eliminating distracting thoughts, etc., perhaps he can temporarily take over by relying on his exceptionally powerful three souls.
But there are still Corpse Dog.
The "Corpse Dog" represents not ordinary perception, but a premonition of crisis.
When only three souls remain, one must first observe something with one's mind before making a judgment and then reacting.
When both the soul and spirit are intact, the more skilled the fighter, the stronger their premonition of danger. They can react before their opponent even makes a move.
These two actions, one before and one after, may seem similar, but in reality, the difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Even in his previous Dharma Aspect form, Wu Shanjun's enormous body was able to precisely block Chu Tianshu's attacks.
Now, Chu Tianshu launched a barrage of attacks, unleashing hundreds of Sword Qi, which he was unable to completely block.
If they retreat, their speed will definitely not be as fast as the direct attack of the Sword Qi.
Wu Shanjun acted decisively, his figure spun around, and he plummeted downwards.
Chu Tianshu seemed to have foreseen the future. With a tremor beneath his feet, the surrounding energy cracked open, and his figure plummeted as if he had lost his footing, his black hair whipping upwards in the wind.
Even in this falling state, he still seemed to be splashing ink on a landscape painting, freely and unrestrainedly unleashing a series of sword strikes.
The sword tip flickered and touched the "red wall" repeatedly, its power penetrating through objects.
Boom!!!
A blood-red giant sword fell from the night sky to the earth, successively overtaking other falling Dharma Aspect fragments, such as the shoulder and elbow.
The blood-red greatsword was originally an offensive technique, so its falling speed was naturally fast enough.
But at this moment, the giant sword could not shake off the figures on its left and right sides.
The person on the left is focused on spinning to protect themselves, while the person on the right is wielding their sword with unrestrained speed.
Finally, the giant sword crashed down at the foot of the mountain, its tip deeply embedded in the river of blood.
The figure on the left disappeared into the river of blood without pausing.
Chu Tianshu on the right, his expression changed slightly as soon as his left foot touched the blood river. He then stepped on the water with his right foot, flying backward and away from the blood river, landing on the shore.
The river of blood surges and flows mightily.
After Wu Shanjun entered the water, the water level continued to rise rapidly.
Beneath the pale red river water, one can see the silhouette of a person in a deep red robe.
Its long, flowing robe-like tail, resembling that of a mythical dragon-fish, darted swiftly underwater.
His deep red robe initially revealed hundreds of gleaming sword Sword Qi, like silver needles.
But as soon as they swam underwater, these Sword Qi were completely worn away by the blood river water.
Chu Tianshu glanced around, fixed his gaze on the target, and dashed along the shore with his sword, pursuing and killing along the way.
"This river of blood, what a troublesome thing!"
He didn't fly, but ran. Each time he landed, a faint light flashed, as he used the ground to release fluctuations and probe the properties of the Blood River.
The Southern Border was already a place teeming with poisonous and malevolent forces. Furthermore, due to the rampant spread of ancient Witch Cult, various types of poisonous insects were cultivated on the basis of the existing natural toxins. With each generation, the poisonous and malevolent forces became even more profound.
Although Incense Valley can purify its own territory, penetrating deep underground, it can only treat the surface of those wild mountains and the like.
When Wu Shanjun created this river of blood, he infused the earth's energy with a massive amount of Blood Sha, drawing out all the poisonous energy deep within the terrain.
If he had forcibly absorbed it, there would have been countless obstacles in the process. However, he relied on the inexhaustible Blood Sha within the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron and the Samsara Disc as a medium to exchange for it.
Therefore, the River of Blood flowed wider and wider, and all kinds of evil spirits flowed into it.
What's even more troublesome is that every drop of water in the Blood River acts as the eyes and ears of Wu Shanjun.
If Chu Tianshu's attack had to cross the Blood River before reaching Wu Shanjun, it would give him enough time to react.
While it cannot completely compensate for the damage caused by losing the Seven Souls, it can temporarily make up for some of the shortcomings.
"The very nature of continuous growth is inherent to the characteristics of the life-giving evil. No matter how potent the poison, its foundation is a deformed life." After running wildly for a few breaths, Chu Tianshu made a rough estimate in his mind and looked ahead.
The Blood River flows mightily, flanked by mountains.
The hillsides near the riverbank, once covered in primeval forests, are now reduced to blackened, decaying wood and rotting vines.
"Kill!!"
Chu Tianshu glared angrily, raised his eyebrows, and roared, unleashing his full power to its peak.
Everything around him seemed to slow down under the pressure of his aura.
Sanqi was swung up with all his might, his long arm stretched to its limit, and he slashed diagonally forward and into the distance.
A crescent-shaped emerald beam of light shot out with a roar, growing larger and longer in the air.
Its slanted edge conforms to the slope of the mountain.
They flattened an entire hillside several miles ahead, making it completely smooth.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!
On the hillside, countless large black trees snapped cleanly, rolled and crashed into the river of blood.
The largest tree closest to the river had just been knocked down when, as if the sky had collapsed, countless black logs rolled down from behind.
The Blood River accepts all who come, and its corrosive and toxic properties are astonishingly high.
Originally, no matter how many of these large trees entered, they would immediately be corroded and melted, becoming part of the blood river.
However, the cross-sections of these broken trees, and even the withered veins inside the trees, were not black, but green, a deep, shimmering green.
When the blood river water came into contact with these deep green lights, it turned from a clear stream into foam, from which mold grew.
The mold multiplied wildly, producing thin, green, crystal-like branches and a thin canopy.
The toxicity of the Blood River's waters seemed to act as the best nourishment, washing over these strange creatures and causing them to grow ever stronger.
quick.
Click! Click! Crack!
It is often said that the sound of spring grass sprouting is like spring thunder if you listen closely, but that is just a poetic metaphor.
Now, these plants are growing too fast and too crowded, spreading across the Blood Riverbed and rapidly pushing up the surface of the river.
The poetic metaphors have somehow become a reality.
The sound of plants growing can also be gathered into thunder.
The emerald-green jungle, like a sturdy dam, rises from the blood river and blocks its flow.
"What?!"
After Wu Shanjun fell into the Blood River, he continued to move forward along it, releasing Blood Sha without restraint to replace poison evil, causing the Blood River to grow continuously.
They wanted to reach the stone gate cave within Incense Valley and use the evil creatures within to kill Chu Tianshu.
Therefore, he moved extremely fast across the riverbed, and by the time he discovered the dam was complete, he was almost crashing into it.
His eyes changed, revealing a resolute look. He simply pushed forward with both palms without hesitation, and actually crashed into it.
If it were truly an earthen dam, it would crumble on the spot after being struck by his immense force.
But this dam is made of unique materials, and its internal structure is even more amazing.
Wu Shanjun unleashed a powerful palm strike.
The dam bends sharply, and on the other side, raging waves surge and hundreds of water columns burst forth one after another.
But the dam didn't break!!
At this moment, Chu Tianshu had already leaped over, his sword and man becoming one, and plunged into the dam.
He pierced through the surface of the dam and went straight to the bottom of the dam, as if there was a hole in the dam that he could pass through.
When Chu Tianshu landed at the bottom of the dam, he could already see Wu Shanjun's face through a thin layer of branches.
The Sanqi Divine Sword, swift as a line of silver light, pierced through the dam.
Wu Shanjun's pupils constricted, and his mind, imbued with Blood Sha, transformed into a blood-red longsword that shot out from his forehead.
However, the blood sword had only emerged half an inch.
That sliver of silver light had already pierced through Wu Shanjun's head.
The silver-white and blood-red blades were pressed tightly together, like two pieces of paper stacked on top of each other.
By merely veering off course by this small margin, he had already avoided the Blood Sword's interception.
Having lost his Seven Souls, Wu Shanjun was ultimately too late to stop the sword.
His body was filled with boundless Blood Sha, and when faced with that sword, it was as if a hot knife was cutting through oil, piercing right through him.
"I... I've actually been defeated?!"
Wu Shanjun was stunned. His entire life flashed before his eyes, a life he had led, commanding countless villains and controlling the evil forces of heaven and earth.
The path he realized should become smoother as he goes on, and the more he can integrate the momentum into the future.
How come he was able to suppress Chu Tianshu last time, but was surpassed this time?
Perhaps I am not wicked enough!
He no longer had a chance to think; his soul was like a gaping hole, irreversibly expanding.
The Asura Blood Sha also began to become chaotic at this time.
"Ah!"
An uncontrollable roar erupted from his soul, his physical body covered in blood-red cracks that shone with light.
Chu Tianshu's eyes changed slightly. He instantly closed his eyes, sheathed his sword, and pushed the sword with his left hand, holding the Sanqi blade upright in front of him.
Boom-!!
A blinding flash of light erupted before him, accompanied by a deafening roar at close range.
The loud noise was unusually brief, lasting only a moment, seemingly still in its climax, before suddenly falling silent.
Because the surrounding matter was repelled by the blood-red light, unable to transmit sound, the river water evaporated and disappeared, and the dam was shattered.
A torrent of crimson light surged forth, erupting in all directions.
Only Chu Tianshu remained, able to stand firm on the divine sword and protect himself.
Everything that reached him was cleaved by the sword blade and slid away through a strange, smooth layer of aura surrounding him.
Even so, he was pushed back again and again.
Despite seemingly closing his eyes, Chu Tianshu, who had actually left a sliver of vision open, could feel the surging blood light above his head, to his sides, and under his feet.
Sanqi with his full support, the sword still trembled uncontrollably at a high frequency.
The protective shield, formed by transforming his power into a peaceful aura and using the Mountain Collapse Combat Calculation" to fill the gaps, was still rapidly eroded by the bloodshed.
Even Chu Tianshu felt mentally and physically exhausted.
Several breaths later, the blood-red light slowed down and faded.
Chu Tianshu stood in mid-air and slowly opened his eyes to look.
The earth was blasted into a deep crater, and the surrounding mountains looked as if they had been partially melted, with strange shapes and crooked bodies.
At the very center of the pit, there lies a crimson four-legged square cauldron, with the Samsara Disc suspended above its mouth.
"The Blood River Poison was formed from my own chaotic flow; even I don't know how to break it. How exactly did you manage to break it—?"
A faint, persistent thought drifted in the air, devoid of any other thoughts, leaving only this single question, which entangled itself around Chu Tianshu.
Bass!
Chu Tianshu pierced through the wisp of smoke and resentment with a single sword stroke.
Because I am kind!
Because I can see good karma.
The poisonous creatures of Southern Border have a long history, yet these plants have also lived Southern Border for countless years. They are species that have coexisted with the poison and formed a benevolent bond with it.
However, Wu Shanjun's Asura Blood Sha disrupted the local toxicity, forming a river of blood and drastically increasing its potency, which is why these species...
Unable to compete.
Chu Tianshu's Great Void Divine Art, however, also gave these species an opportunity.
It's not just about the opportunity for unbridled growth; it's also about how the estimation of the Blood River subtly points them in a direction at the crossroads of species change.
With that, he flicked his wrist and shattered that lingering remnant of hope with a single sword strike!
