Chapter 256 Lei Qianshang Falls
That Favored’s hatchet brought with it a terrifying gale as it slashed down viciously on Wilde .
BOOM!
Wilde’s spiked club slammed into the huge hatchet . Wilde hadn’t expected that Favored to have used some sort of secret technique to multiply his strength .
A huge force pushed him back a dozen steps . With each step, the ground beneath him trembled . The ground seemed to have become liquid, with waves of dirt spreading out .
After being forced back a dozen steps, he then even lost his center of gravity, tumbling back even further before finally stabilizing .
Long Chen was shocked . This Corrupt Favored was incredibly powerful . He was actually able to suppress Wilde in terms of power .
“I’ll let you taste one of my attacks!”
Wilde stood up and suddenly shouted, his voice like thunder shaking the heavens . A strange red color appeared over his body .
Long Chen was truly shocked now . He had scene that situation occur once before . This had happened to Wilde back in the Heroic Assembly House back in Phoenix Cry .
At that time, Long Chen had been sent flying by Huang Chang, while Wilde hadn’t even begun cultivating . And yet, when that red color had appeared over his body, he had been able to block one of Huang Chang’s attacks .
Now that the red light once more surfaced on his body, Wilde’s body erupted with a terrifying aura . It was as if there was an ancient monster inside his body that had opened up its eyes .
With each step forward, Wilde caused the ground to quiver, appearing incredibly intimidating with his giant form .
Wilde roared, his arms covered in green veins . In fact, it was possible to see the blood flowing under his skin .
He swung his club, causing heaven and earth to shake . That Corrupt Favored was horrified . He felt as if he wasn’t facing a human, but a demon god, a bloodthirsty demon god .
The instant Wilde attacked, he was completely locked down by a terrifying force . He was filled with horror, and he didn’t even have the will to resist .
He viciously bit down on his tongue . He was extremely ruthless, biting off a portion of his tongue, using the pain to awaken himself from his terror .
If he let his terror extend to his heart, he wouldn’t be able to fight back at all .
He roared, smashing his huge hatchet onto Wilde’s club .
BOOOM!
It was like a bomb had gone off . The ground exploded to dust, and a huge wave of earth spread in every direction .
That Corrupt Favored’s arms turned numb, and he was sent flying back, tumbling across the ground . When he got up, his hands were completely covered in blood and the webbing between his thumb and forefinger and been split apart .
“You didn’t die? Come again!”
Wilde roared and once more swung his club at him .
That Favored was completely shocked . He had never imagined that even after using his secret technique, he would still lose in terms of power .
He finally realized a fact: he was not a match for Wilde in terms of brute power . If he once more faced him head-on, he would definitely end up suffering .
He was a brute power kind of expert, and wasn’t used to using skillful techniques . He could only continue facing off against him . However, now he focused purely on defense . He no longer tried to forcibly attack .
Although he was focused on defense and conserving his strength, lessening the impacts of Wilde’s blows, he had given up the initiative and superior ground to Wilde . Now under Wilde’s crazy blows, he was forced back miserably time and time again .
The Corrupt Elders that were watching were stunned . That Favored had been forced into a disadvantage this quickly . In fact, he was essentially defeated, only relying on delaying tactics to hold out until the battle was over .
“Tu Fang, you old fox, how dare you play such a trick against me! Just you wait!” Gui Yan was grinding his teeth . He thought Tu Fang had just made his side appear weaker in order to bait him . In his imagination, this wasn’t supposed to have been a battle, but a one-sided massacre .
They had had twenty-seven thousand disciples, which was almost five times the Righteous path . Normally the Righteous path’s disciples were at least double theirs, and they only barely managed to eke out a draw .
Furthermore, they had gained five peak geniuses who were all Favored . And Yin Luo was a genius amongst Favored, someone rare for them to find even once in a thousand years .
With that kind of numbers and power, Gui Yan had just thought this would be a game to kill them . However, it had now developed to this point .
Before the two armies had even met, half of his army had been exterminated .
Yin Luo had now been tied up with some fellow named Mo Nian who was inconceivably powerful . He had somehow been able to fight against Yin Luo this entire time without entering a disadvantage .
And now two other Favored-level experts had appeared on their enemy’s side . That immediately ruined his plans . Now a trace of unease appeared in Gui Yan’s heart .
“Are you guys idiots? What are you just standing around for? Hurry up and kill them all! First, slaughter that damn brat who’s leading them!” raged Gui Yan . In his fury, he no longer cared about capturing Long Chen alive . All he wanted was to exterminate them all .
If more unexpected things popped up, he really wouldn’t have the face to report back after this . Just reporting what had happened so far was enough to warrant him receiving a torrent of curses from his higher-ups .
Hearing Gui Yan’s words, the Corrupt army finally recovered from their shock, doing their best to bring down their opponents .
There were two figures in particular who were rushing directly for Long Chen . Those two were also Favored who had stood behind Yin Luo .
Originally, they hadn’t been planning on taking action . They were high and noble Favored . Killing a lowly insect was an insult to them . They were only interested in fighting other Favored .
But they didn’t dare ignore Gui Yan’s orders . That resentment in their hearts would have to be released on Long Chen .
“Chilling Wind Slash!”
A wind blade flew straight towards one of the Favored . Tang Wan-er had surprisingly come out of nowhere .
Having advanced to the fourth Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation, Tang Wan-er’s aura had become even more solid . Her wind blades were practically solid, and with the runes covering them, they were incomparably sharp .
One of the Favored coldly snorted and punched out at Tang Wan-er’s wind blade .
But what was surprising to him was that although he forced back Tang Wan-er’s attack, he hadn’t managed to destroy her wind blade .
Weapons condensed from spiritual qi might possess powerful attacking strength, but they weren’t solid weapons, so they were lacking in terms of toughness . They were extremely easy for to break .
But now that Tang Wan-er had advanced to the mid Tendon Transformation realm, her control over her runic power had increased further, allowing her wind blades to contain both strength and flexibility .
Although Tang Wan-er wasn’t a Favored, she possessed a gold Spirit Root, and her talent was shockingly high . She wasn’t someone an ordinary core disciple could compare to .
“You’re asking for it!” That Corrupt Favored coldly shouted and a bizarre weapon appeared in his hand . It looked like a sword, and yet there were two shorter blades on it, similar to a harpoon .
That weapon was called a water-thorn . The water-thorn didn’t have a handle, but instead wrapped around the arm .
Despite being four feet long, it wasn’t at all cumbersome on his arm . The water-thorn’s three blades were lined with sharp teeth that reflected coldly .
After taking out his water-thorn, that Corrupt Favored icily snorted and suddenly appeared right in front of Tang wan-er .
Seeing that water-thorn stab towards her, Tang Wan-er surprisingly ignored it and formed a hand seal . A huge arrow appeared behind her .
“Die!” That Favored coldly snorted . His water-thorn mercilessly stabbed towards her neck, not holding back at all because of her beauty .
“Ice Crystal Shield!” A cold shout rang out, and a shield of ice appeared in front of Tang Wan-er .
That shield was clear, looking like crystal . Within the ice crystals were countless ice flowers, but they weren’t ice flowers, but runes .
BOOM! The water-thorn smashed into the ice shield, but the Favored was shocked to find that this seemingly weak crystal was able to block his attack .
Crack . After blocking his attack, the ice shield burst apart . But at the same time, a huge arrow shot out from behind it .
“Storm Arrow!”
This Battle Skill was one of Tang Wan-er’s family’s legacy Battle Skills, and it was specially made for wind attribute experts .
To release such a huge attack required a moment of time in order to store up enough spiritual qi .
That was why Tang Wan-er had ignored this Favored’s attack . She had known that there would be someone to help block him for her .
That was a trust that had been created through the tempering of life and death experiences . She had full confidence that Ye Zhiqiu would be able to block his attack .
And now that his attack had been blocked, Tang Wan-er had accumulated enough energy . With the shattering of the ice shield, her arrow shot forth .
That Favored hadn’t expected the two of them to be so well coordinated . By the time he reacted, the arrow had already arrived right before him .
“Covering Rain Slash!” However, it went without saying that Favored were incredibly powerful . Despite the attack being so close, he was still calm . His water-thorn became encased in a layer of light, slashing down onto the wind energy arrow .
BANG! The arrow burst apart, but that Favored also wasn’t well off . Having been caught off guard, he hadn’t had enough time and his blood heaved inside him and he was forced back .
“Six Yang Fist!”
BOOM! That Favored hadn’t realized that Gu Yang had already been waiting behind him . As he was sent flying back, Gu Yang ruthlessly punched him in the back .
That Favored coughed out blood, now sent flying in another direction .
“Lightning Slash!” Lei Qianshang’s lightning sword streaked across the horizon, smashing into him heavily .
BOOM! The earth split apart as Lei Qianshang’s attack cut a huge ditch into the ground .
“Careful!”
Long Chen suddenly let out a shout . Lei Qianshang felt a chill and hastily retreated .
But it was too late . A cold light bore out of the ground, piercing straight through his chest . That cold light was the Favored’s water-thorn .
“Die you damn ant!”
The Corrupt Favored angrily roared and his water-thorn cut straight across his heart, cutting Lei Qianshang apart . From the start of the battle, he was the first disciple of the Xuantian Monastery to die .
