Yefutidaolu

Chapter 321 White-hot

Faced with the seven realms that were resisting him, these people who were loyal to Yang Ling—it was unclear where Yang Ling had found them.

"Ants." Huang Chengshi's voice was like a cold wind blowing through withered bones.

The Ghost King Swordsman appeared before him like a shadow. Without even drawing his sword, the Ghost King merely shifted his body at an incredible angle, then darted through the dense forest of spears like a fish. Where he passed, the elite guards froze, a thin line of blood slowly appearing at their throats before their heads rolled off, blood gushing forth like a fountain!

The commander of the personal guards roared, burning his life essence, and slashed out with his sword, the blade's energy blazing like flames! Huang Chengshi finally flicked his finger, and a highly refined spell, launched after the attack, easily pierced through the blade's energy and then through the commander's brow. The commander's eyes instantly lost their light, and his tall body crashed to the ground.

Even if Youmingdi didn't have much energy to focus on combat because he was busy refining his qi and blood and taming the Ghost King, and his physical combat strength was relatively weak compared to others in the same realm, he was still a ninth-realm cultivator and would never lose to a seventh-realm cultivator.

The seventh-realm guardian, sensing the approaching shadow of death, revealed grief and determination on his face. He bit his tongue sharply, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the magical artifact before him, and roared, "Rise!"

With a whoosh, a solid, earth-yellow light barrier instantly rose, locking the Ghost King of the Netherworld within. This barrier was thick and solid, carrying the aura of the earth; it was clearly their trump card for survival.

"A desperate struggle." Huang Chengshi's figure appeared in front of the light barrier, a cruel smile curving his lips.

This protective wall is 'land'.

The Five Elements are Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are Taiji. Zhou Zigu said that Taiji is nothing more than Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are nothing more than the Five Elements! From now on, we will discuss water as water, fire as fire, and the interplay of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Earth is also mentioned.

This is the foundation of the opponent's magic. Through this transformation, the surrounding area is transformed into a small piece of land, isolated from the outside world. It can both defend and trap the enemy. It is not simply an "earth element" technique. If you regard this protective barrier as a simple earth element technique, you will definitely suffer a great loss. The earth itself contains the five elements. There are metal veins, groundwater, wood, and fire in the earth. As for earth, there are even more.

Unfortunately, he was far superior in terms of magic.

The Eight Trigrams contain Qian and Kun, thus clearly showing that Heaven and Earth are both manifestations of Taiji. The Five Elements each have their own nature, and the Four Seasons also have their order. Spring brings forth life, summer fosters growth, autumn brings tranquility, and winter brings storage. Spring turns to summer, summer to autumn, autumn to winter, and winter to spring again, in an endless cycle.

The five elements are different in nature, the four seasons are different in qi, but they are all nothing more than yin and yang. Yin and yang are in different positions and move and stay at different times, but they are all inseparable from Taiji.

Essence refers to the unity of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Condensation means gathering. When Qi gathers, it forms a shape. Nature is the master, while Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are the warp and weft, and each of them gathers and forms a shape according to its kind. When form interacts with Qi, all things are transformed from form, and endless changes occur.

As long as the five elements are reversed, this small piece of land will collapse on its own.

The barrier was easily broken through; this is the difference in the depth of our understanding. I understand all your techniques, but you can't understand any of mine.

On the other side, the trapped swordsman, the Ghost King, once again gathered that sharp edge that made the very space tremble. This time, his sword intent was even more refined and pure than before, as if it could pierce through all obstacles in the world!
Just as his fingertip sword energy was about to strike—

Mutations reborn!

Without warning, the bricks and stones of the city wall beneath Huang Chengshi's feet suddenly bulged upwards and cracked! It wasn't a fluctuation of magic, but rather a burst of pure, extreme physical power erupting from the ground!
A massive figure, as imposing as a bear, burst through the brickwork and soared into the sky! His body was covered in dark red beast-like patterns, and his muscles were as bulging as rocks.

He's not from the Qilin tribe! The strange beast markings on his body are from the Earthworm.

There is a beast that looks like a sheep but has four horns. It is called the Tulou and it eats people.

It was a master from the Tulou tribe! He had somehow infiltrated the city walls and forcefully tore through the ground! His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared like a wild beast. His two large, fan-like hands, accompanied by a fierce wind that tore through the air, were like two giant iron pincers, viciously grabbing at Huang Chengshi's legs! The timing was perfect; it was the instant Huang Chengshi had just unleashed his old power and had not yet generated new power, his mind completely focused on the opening in his spell!
Huang Chengshi's pupils suddenly contracted! His reaction was extremely fast, and he forcefully changed direction. The Ghost King also changed his battle position in an instant, pointing downwards like lightning, and a sharp sword aura shot towards the top of the giant's head!

But the warrior from the Beast Tribe didn't care about life or death! He didn't dodge or evade, but simply tilted his head sharply, letting the sword energy graz his scalp, leaving a trail of blood and shattered skull! The excruciating pain contorted his face, but his movements didn't stop at all! His calloused, veiny hands, with a resolute determination to die together, gripped Huang Chengshi's ankle tightly!
Click!

A sickeningly loud cracking sound rang out! Huang Chengshi, as a cultivator from the Netherworld, possessed abundant qi and blood and a strong physique, but he didn't have any special body-refining methods, only abundant qi and blood. Therefore, his ankle was instantly deformed by this extremely brutal force! A piercing pain came, and Huang Chengshi couldn't help but groan, his body staggering!
"Die!" The Tulou warrior used his last strength, his arm muscles bulging, ready to slam Huang Chengshi hard to the ground!

Huang Chengshi's eyes flashed with murderous intent! He endured the excruciating pain, twisted his body in a bizarre way as if he had no bones, broke his ankle, and then rapidly regenerated it in mid-air!
His severed leg rapidly differentiated its flesh and blood, giving birth to several ghost kings. They weren't at the ninth realm, but they were at the eighth realm!
This is an elder from the Netherworld, with such profound knowledge and experience!

Just how many ghost kings did he raise himself?
In that instant, these ghost kings devoured Huang Chengshi's flesh and blood, their momentum surged, and they attacked the Tulou tribe warriors with lightning speed, their concentrated energy piercing the hearts of the Tulou tribe warriors with unparalleled precision!
puff!
Blood splattered! The Tulou warrior's body stiffened abruptly, the light in his crimson eyes dimmed rapidly, but his hands gripping Huang Chengshi's ankles remained as firm as iron, never letting go until his death!

This delay, though only a brief moment, was a life-saving opportunity for the defenders on the city wall!

"Protect the formation!" Several skilled defenders and sorcerers, finally realizing what was happening, rushed forward, relentlessly slamming their attacks into the restrained Huang Chengshi. Huang Chengshi was both shocked and furious! He had never imagined that he would be injured in such a barbaric way by a "lowly" barbarian!

With a flick of his wrist, a longsword was drawn! He threw it at the Ghost King, but the Ghost King, a ninth-realm swordsman, saw a glint of light flash in his previously dazed eyes. As soon as the longsword was in his hand, a terrifying, gray sword aura that seemed capable of swallowing light swept out!

Puff puff puff!

The first few elite defenders were sliced ​​in two as if by an invisible blade! Blood and entrails splattered on the ancient city walls.

But even more defenders surged forward fearlessly, unleashing all sorts of talismans and hidden weapons! Some sorcerers even took the opportunity to reinforce the earthen-yellow light shield protecting the array's core!
Huang Chengshi was held back by the dead Tulou warriors, which restricted his movement. He was also surrounded and attacked by the defending army. For a time, he was unable to break free, let alone destroy the great formation that was so close at hand!
He could only slash at the surging defenders with his sword while simultaneously using his sword energy to cut the lifeless hands that were tightly gripping his ankles. His eyes were filled with icy rage; a dignified ninth-realm expert, dragged down here by a barbarian at the cost of his life!

They even used a trump card!
It should be noted that the Ninth Realm Swordsman Ghost King was created by him after he plotted to kill a martial artist hundreds of years ago. He had not actually completely subdued the Ghost King. Separating the sword from the sword would suppress the Ghost King's activity and prevent it from devouring its master.

But at this critical juncture, returning the opponent's sword would greatly amplify the Ghost King's power, but it would also cause the opponent's spirit to revive, and he might even regain his mind and seek revenge.

But it doesn't matter.

In this situation, we can't afford to worry about these things anymore.

Everyone is going all out.

The border city wall was completely transformed into a boiling, blood-and-flesh-and-blood millstone.

Jin Dafu stood like a blood-soaked demon god at the center of the most intense vortex before the protective array's light barrier. His massive body was covered with white marks left by arrows, charred black from corrosive venom, and shallow cuts from swords—these attacks from lower-level cultivators, though unable to truly cripple his powerful physique at the peak of the ninth realm, were like endless mosquito bites, constantly consuming his protective qi, wearing down his patience, and igniting the savage killing intent within him that could burn the entire world!
"Get out of my way, you ants!" Jin Dafu's roar was like thunder from the heavens, each roar causing the surrounding soldiers to bleed from their ears and noses. His enormous fist was no longer simply smashing against the light barrier, but had transformed into a destructive storm! With a single punch, the dark golden fist energy spread outwards in a fan shape like a tangible shockwave!
boom--!
Wherever the fist's energy passed, the scene was indescribably horrific! Dozens of heavily armored infantrymen, who had formed a shield formation to try to stop him, along with their steel tower shields, were torn, twisted, and thrown away like fragile pieces of paper! Broken armor, severed limbs, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs rained down in the shockwave, staining large sections of the city wall a shocking crimson!

The ground beneath his feet was no longer bricks and stones, but a sticky, slippery crimson swamp formed by repeated soaking and trampling of flesh and mud!

Each step he took was accompanied by a chilling cracking sound of bones breaking and desperate screams. Those soldiers who fearlessly charged at him, trying to pierce his joints with spears and trip him with grappling hooks, were instantly reduced to dust before his absolute power, like moths drawn to a flame. Jin Dafu fought with increasing ferocity; the liquid golden aura that had faded on his body, stimulated by boundless slaughter and rage, solidified and boiled again! His power seemed limitless; instead, stimulated by this mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, it grew ever more ferocious and unstoppable!
As for the other eighth and ninth realms, although they were briefly delayed by the numerous fearless warriors of the Beast Tribe, they were ultimately top experts from aristocratic families and great immortal sects. They shattered the corpses on their ankles, and with each swing of their weapons or fists, waves of energy spread out like the scythe of death, each flash taking the lives of a dozen or even dozens of guards.

Some are ghostly in appearance, specifically targeting and eliminating key figures such as defending generals and sorcerers.

Some were like gods, leaving behind a trail of death wherever they went.

Ten eighth-realm experts charged through the chaotic city walls like tigers among sheep, ordinary soldiers falling like weeds before them. The two ninth-realm powerhouses finally joined the fray. They didn't directly participate in the frontline battles, but with each gesture—a light touch of their fingertips or a flick of their sleeves—large sections of the city walls were crushed and collapsed by an invisible force, or entire units of defenders were reduced to ashes by strange magic!
At this rate, if it weren't for the support of the border defense formation, the border would probably have been breached long ago.

This is an absolute crushing defeat.

The resistance of the defenders and the beast warriors was utterly futile in the face of such an overwhelming disparity in strength.

Under Jin Dafu's relentless and violent bombardment and Huang Chengshi's precise cutting, the light barrier of the city's protective formation cracked more and more, and its light grew weaker and weaker, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

On the city walls, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.

The main force of the Beast Tribe had bloodshot eyes, but they still pressed forward relentlessly, using their flesh and blood to fill, block, and deplete every last bit of the enemy's strength.

The warriors of the Beast Tribe roared like trapped beasts, tearing at their prey with their teeth, ramming them with their heads, and even clinging to their enemies in an attempt to slow the destructive advance. However, Jin Dafu and his men's advance was only slightly hindered; their killing efficiency did not decrease at all, but instead became even more efficient and ruthless.

A chilling aura of despair, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around the hearts of every defender. Jin Dafu's roar was like a demonic whisper; he seemed to have truly transformed into an invincible god of slaughter, determined to utterly crush and level all life on the city walls, along with the fortress itself! His massive, dark golden figure advanced step by step through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, each step crushing countless lives, each step bringing the fall of the border closer!
"It's about to break..." A blood-soaked veteran looked at Jin Dafu, who resembled a moving natural disaster, his broken sword hanging limply at his sides, his eyes filled with nothing but despair.
At this critical moment, when the border defenses were about to be completely destroyed and the morale of the defenders was on the verge of collapse—

The world suddenly became quiet!
It wasn't that the sounds disappeared, but rather that a more primal, vast, and domineering "presence" instantly overwhelmed all the noise, roars, and explosions on the battlefield! It was as if a primordial beast, slumbering in the ancient wilderness, had suddenly opened its indifferent giant eyes!
Boom! ! !

The sound did not come from the throat, but rather seemed to explode simultaneously from the depths of the earth and from the heavens, like the first thunderclap at the beginning of creation, descending without warning!
A figure appeared there.

That is Qilin Shen!
