Chapter 1611: Chapter 1274: Perilous Situation (2)
Violent mana surged out from Jiang Luo’s body, as his hands formed seals, countless fierce ghosts howled and devoured each other, finally transforming into two fierce ghosts, one large and one small.
One was tens of feet tall, like a small mountain; the other was no different from an ordinary person, but with vibrant eyes, seemingly possessing spiritual intelligence.
The former was sent against Meng Zihong, while the latter targeted Li Zhixuan, with Old Demon himself assisting in the battle formation.
Rumble——
The giant troll’s steps caused the earth to vibrate, yet its speed wasn’t slow, instantly appearing before Meng Zihong and smashing at him with its giant palm.
Meng Zihong naturally didn’t want to confront it head-on, but when he tried to dodge, he suddenly found himself seemingly crushed by a mountain, unable to move.
"Break for me!"
No choice, at the edge of life and death, he had to muster all his strength to save himself, with mana rapidly circulating within his body, his stature rising further, mana flowing into the twin hammers, he vigorously struck the giant troll.
Crack!
The pressure shattered instantly, simultaneously shattering one of the giant troll’s arms, temporarily halting its movements.
Li Zhixuan, who cultivated the Sword Tao of Slaughter, possessed battle power that ranked among the strongest of the human immortals, especially with the sword qi endowed with killing intent, even Jiang Luo dared not confront it directly.
...
The commotion of the battle between Li Zhixuan, Meng Zihong, and Jiang Luo drew considerable attention from onlookers.
Everyone who saw this scene felt astonished. Two human immortals were actually fighting an earth immortal, and judging by the looks, the fight seemed balanced!
It’s unclear whether it should be said that the earth immortal demon cultivator was too weak, or that the two human immortal cultivators were too powerful.
Li Zhixuan’s swordsmanship was sharp, incredibly keen, unstoppable; Meng Zihong’s thunder method suppressed yin qi, overpowering, fiercely aggressive.
Moreover, the two had developed perfect tacit understanding after decades of joint demon-slaying, needing neither words nor eye contact, merely observing each other’s actions to know how to coordinate!
The battle among the three continued for an unknown duration, Jiang Luo covered in numerous wounds, clothes tattered, hair disheveled, appearing particularly wretched.
Meanwhile, Li Zhixuan and Meng Zihong, who possessed lower realms, were in an even more tragic state, soaked in blood, breath diminished, any further fighting might render them dead.
The few closely observing mentors on the sidelines grew anxious, urging both to temporarily give up, preserve themselves, for there would surely be another opportunity in the future.
"Hmph! You come and go as you please, you really don’t take me seriously!" Jiang Luo was highly displeased, further determined to kill these two.
After all, today these two truly embarrassed him.
He, a dignified earth immortal great demon, actually battled two ants for so long, not only failing to easily crush them, but ended up extremely disheveled!
Should this news spread, Jiang Luo’s name would likely be ridiculed by Wanling for years, perhaps even passed down consistently, nailed onto history’s pillar of shame, mocked by all.
"Mr. Xu, can you still fight?!"
Though run low on mana, severely injured, Li Zhixuan remained straight-backed, unwaveringly said, "Of course! This battle will lead to either victory or sacrifice!"
"Well said!"
Meng Zihong highly praised, agreeing, "This battle will lead to either victory or sacrifice!"
"Kill!"
Once more both rallied mana and rushed forward to attack Jiang Luo.
"Fools! Since you wish for death, I’ll grant it!"
Sword qi surged like a rainbow, carrying an unstoppable momentum, directly thrusting towards Old Demon’s weak points.
Jiang Luo no longer dared to underestimate them, deploying defense divine abilities intending to block them.
Crack!
Unexpectedly, the defense couldn’t hold the sword qi, in the collision instant, a powerful shockwave swept the surroundings, shaving off half a foot of earth.
Bam!
At this moment, Jiang Luo was bombarded with twin hammers, his whole body flew, crashing heavily on the ground.
Meng Zihong was poised, striking simultaneously, at the moment of defense’s ruin, he attacked Old Demon with all his might.
Unfortunately, even though Old Demon hadn’t refined his body, upon reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, naturally it couldn’t be frail, thus this strike only exacerbated Old Demon’s injuries.
Meanwhile, further angering Jiang Luo.
"Good, good, good! It’s been many years since anyone pushed me to this state, and now, thanks to two human immortal ants, it has happened."
His tone betrayed no anger, yet the more so, the more it evidenced his fury had reached an exceedingly terrifying level.
As expected!
In the ensuing battle, Li Zhixuan and Meng Zihong were crushed, unable to breathe, injuries grew more severe, battle power severely diminished.
...
This time, fighting lasted only two hours, before Li Zhixuan and Meng Zihong couldn’t persevere.
No other reason!
Both had all but depleted their mana!
"Final strike!"
The two exchanged a glance, shouted together, and bit the Immortal Pill that had been held in their mouths for some time.
The Immortal Pill erupted like a volcano, vast spiritual energy rushed their dantian, instantly elevating the nearly dry sea of magic to halfway.
Yet this mana only existed briefly, promptly mobilized entirely.
Li Zhixuan was enveloped in red glow, coupled with the blood streaming from wounds, resembled the mythical Asura, mysterious sword against her wrist, she suddenly swiped, copious blood absorbed by the mysterious sword.
Instantaneously! The mysterious sword in hand erupted with unprecedented sword qi, carrying endless killing intent and evil qi, slashing at Old Demon.
"Aaaaah!" Meng Zihong was even more ruthless, forcibly pulling nearby summoned lightning from other cultivators, then swallowing it.
His body emitted explosive sounds, his figure suddenly expanded enormously, in a breath becoming a hundred-zhang giant, double hammers swirling in the sky, attracting those thunderclouds atop.
Rumble——
Like mountain-sized giant hammers smashed towards Jiang Luo, erupting earth-shattering roars, distorting space, as if heaven and earth quivered.
"Damn!"
Old Demon’s face changed dramatically, he didn’t anticipate their resolute savagery, even willing to abandon their lives, determined to kill him.
Yet he couldn’t think anymore, only straining fully to block these two attacks.
"I must kill you both!"
He silently vowed, otherwise he was unworthy of being an earth immortal!
Poof!
After deploying their final strike and killing move, both were blown away like paper, slain by the shockwave, smashed heavily on the ground, bleeding profusely, breath weak, faces pale, seemingly a gust of wind could claim their lives.
Pop——
Simultaneously, a cork being pulled sound rang within their sea of consciousness.
Through this deadly battle, they both attained their goal, breaking through the bottleneck.
As for whether Jiang Luo Old Demon survived, it already didn’t matter.
Still, under their killing move, he survived, though severely injured, he could easily claim the lives of the two unconscious persons.
"Good child."
At this moment, a spirit light descended beside Meng Zihong, if awake he would recognize it as his mentor.
With a wave, two spirit lights penetrated Li Zhixuan and Meng Zihong’s mouths, then gestured, bringing them away from the battlefield.
In a blink, while his mentor’s attention was never upon Jiang Luo, he wasn’t worth personally handling.
This matter of cause and effect, naturally awaits Meng Zihong attaining earth immortal before settling himself.
...
It’s unclear how long passed, Li Zhixuan finally opened her eyes.
"Survived." She remained extremely weak, primarily due to the final killing move, Violent Spirit Immortal Pill wrecked her meridians internally, mysterious sword absorbed a vast amount of her blood essence, Life-slaying Laws drained her divine sense.
Virtually leaving spirit empty in all three aspects!
If not for Meng Zihong’s sect, Qinghua Sect, caring at any cost, even if Li Zhixuan miraculously survived the demon cultivator, she’d be a cripple.
