Chapter 1347: Not His Match At All
Chapter 1347: Not His Match At All
The ebony sword eliminated a group of souls, then swept back in reverse. Under the cover of the sword light, something silently fell into Qin Sang’s palm.
At the same time, a dreamlike voice transmission sounded beside his ear. Qin Sang’s movements paused because of it.
The others noticed something unusual. Canghong asked with concern, "Daoist Qin, what happened?"
"The Blood Infants’ counterattacks are growing fiercer." Qin Sang shook his head and covered for himself.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked into the depths of the ghostly mist. The surrounding space had once again been filled by endless souls and ghostly creatures. The voice just now had belonged to Bai, but Qin Sang could not determine which direction it had come from.
Bai had acted very cautiously, as though he was guarding against something.
Canghong did not suspect otherwise. Worry appeared on his face, and he nodded. "After that tremendous sound occurred, the blood clouds and souls have become more and more numerous. Old Devil Ye has clearly noticed us. His intention is obvious. He wants to stop us from approaching the altar with everything he has. That sound just now was truly earth-shaking. The anomaly in the inner palace has likely developed to an extremely intense degree. Old Devil Ye’s plot should soon be revealed..."
Qin Sang silently listened to Canghong’s words without comment. A strange glint flashed deep in his eyes. He tightened his grip, feeling something cold and sinister in his palm. A thin cord had appeared there.
Bai had controlled a soul and secretly sent the Devil-Binding Chain back to him!
After that, Qin Sang’s expression remained normal as he continued controlling his sword to open the way, as though nothing had happened. Yet by now, his vigilance had been raised to the utmost.
Blood clouds layered upon one another. Ghostly howls came in waves.
Just as Canghong had expected, they had drawn most of the evil array’s power. More and more souls and ghostly creatures were being driven over by Old Devil Ye.
Everyone was now completely surrounded by blood clouds. Within their field of vision, everything was blood-red. The blood clouds were incomparably thick, and their gazes could not pierce through them.
Combined with the endless souls and ghostly creatures, everyone felt as though they had been thrown into a blood-colored hell. The pressure on them grew heavier and heavier.
The blood clouds followed closely as they moved, like living things, constantly churning without pause.
Boom! The Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet scattered a mass of blood clouds. Its momentum was fierce as it charged forward rapidly.
This scene had already repeated countless times. There was nothing unusual about it.
The reason they could move so quickly was largely due to the Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet’s efforts.
But at this moment, Qin Sang, who had been on guard the entire time, suddenly had his pupils constricted. Warning signs surged in his heart, and he did not hesitate to release the sword seal he had prepared long ago.
Hum! The sword cry shook the heavens!
Everyone was startled and looked toward Qin Sang, only to see the ebony sword’s sword light surging like a dragon. Sword qi spanned the air, instantly killing countless surrounding souls and ghostly creatures.
Boom! The sword light shone with ultimate brilliance and slashed toward the void in front of Qin Sang!
Everyone was shocked and doubtful. Before they could see what had happened, a sudden change occurred around them. Amid rumbling sounds, the thick blood clouds abruptly pressed down, carrying countless souls and ghostly creatures as they charged fiercely into the crowd!
A moment of chaos erupted.For a time, everyone found it difficult even to steady themselves. Their formation instantly collapsed and was submerged by the blood clouds. They hurriedly and clumsily activated their astras to resist.
In front of Qin Sang, the sword light tore through the air and descended from the sky. Beneath the sword light, a figure quietly emerged. It was the jade skeleton!
The jade skeleton turned his neck, and his bones cracked with a series of clicking sounds. He raised one hand and actually blocked the sword light with ease. The ghostfire in his eye sockets conveyed a sense of contempt. "Hehe, a mere early-stage Spiritual Infant cultivator can actually see through my evasion art. No wonder Little Brat Ye is so wary of you."
"Who are you?" Qin Sang’s expression was calm as he asked coldly.
When he saw the jade skeleton’s appearance, Qin Sang could not help feeling a chill in his heart.
After the battle at Blood Lake, he did not know whether the jade skeleton had feigned his death, or whether some devilish monster from Sin God Palace had borrowed his body to be reborn.
All the flesh and blood on the jade skeleton’s body had already dried up. He was no different from a skeleton, yet he had still survived in the world, and his strength was so terrifying. Even with Bai’s warning and Qin Sang guarding against him in advance, he had nearly failed to unleash his sword in time.
Qin Sang’s mind was tense to the extreme. The hand gripping the Devil-Binding Chain was almost breaking out in sweat.
As expected, this strike had not caused the jade skeleton the slightest injury.
At the same time as he asked the question, Qin Sang did not hesitate at all. His sword seal changed again, and the ebony sword transformed into a sword array. In an instant, the void was shrouded in dimness.
"Seeking death!" the jade skeleton said.
Sensing the sword array’s fluctuations, the ghostfire in the jade skeleton’s eye sockets suddenly leapt. Towering fury surged from him as he let out a violent shout, and his figure vanished into thin air.
In the next moment, countless bone claw shadows erupted!
Bang, bang, bang...
Qin Sang was secretly shocked.
The method the jade skeleton used was something he had never seen before. Even with the help of the Sky Eyes, he could only barely distinguish which were illusions and which were real.
But it was meaningless, because he simply could not react in time. He could not keep up with the changes in the claw shadows, much less counter them.
Qin Sang did everything he could, and the array shifted repeatedly, but the results were meager. Sword light after sword light was extinguished.
Bang! The ebony sword let out a mournful cry. It suffered the impact of tremendous force and was almost knocked flying.
In the span of a breath, faint ripples surfaced in the void before Qin Sang. A bone claw suddenly reached out, radiating a terrifying chill that could freeze a person stiff as it went straight for Qin Sang’s forehead!
I’m not his match at all! This thought flashed through Qin Sang’s mind.
Crack! Thunder boomed. The phoenix wings spread open with a swish.
Lightning flowed between the feathers, setting off the dazzling and magnificent radiance of the phoenix wings. Qin Sang transformed on the spot into a streak of lightning and retreated rapidly.
Rip! The bone claw easily tore through Qin Sang’s head and paused slightly, but no blood splashed out. It had only been an afterimage he had left behind.
Yet the ghost claw was relentless. Without pausing in the slightest, it chased after Qin Sang, determined to tear him apart, and its speed was even faster than Qin Sang’s Lightning Evasion!
Qin Sang felt a stabbing pain at his forehead.
Just then, two whirlpools formed within the blood clouds. Two figures appeared at almost the same time. They were Canghong and Zhenyi!
They were the first to break free from the blood clouds. When they saw Qin Sang being pursued by the jade skeleton, they were shocked by the strength the jade skeleton had displayed.
"Heaven-Breaking Finger!" Canghong roared.
Seeing that Qin Sang was in danger, Canghong did not dare hesitate in the slightest. His eyelids lowered, and he chanted softly while forming a complicated hand seal.
Beside him, a mass of azure light circled, filled with verdant vitality.
Within the azure light, a vine was growing. It had no roots and had grown out of the void itself. It climbed along Canghong until it reached above his head, its leaves overlapping in layers and swaying slightly.
The vine’s main body was hidden beneath the leaves, while layer upon layer of leaves formed a suit of azure armor.
The blood clouds, yin souls, and ghostly creatures counterattacked madly, smashing countless leaves. But immediately after, azure light flashed, and new leaves grew out, preventing them from drawing near.
The vine was clearly an extraordinary protective treasure.
Canghong had no worries about his own safety and focused on casting his secret technique. A vast and ancient aura emanated from his body, shaking the hearts of all who felt it!
Dazzling white light surged behind him. In an instant, the white light dispersed, and a colossal figure walked out from the void. Judging from its features and form, it was none other than Canghong’s own phantom.
The phantom was a hundred zhang tall, standing upright between heaven and earth!
