Chapter 800 - A Magnificent Spear Attack
Chapter 800: A Magnificent Spear Attack
Ou Yangming still curbed his aura completely as if he was feigning death.
A white figure flew past the sky after half an hour with a face as dark as still water. It was Li Xin, who had left and returned. As he scoffed, green veins were seen bulging on his face. They looked like squirming green insects on his fearsome face, making him look hideous. In particular, the elder’s eyes were as red as blood.
Blood Shadow glanced at him but sensed a chillness attacking his head, hence he immediately looked away.
After another 30 minutes, Ou Yangming breathed out the murky air inside his mouth. Consequently, bubbles emerged from under the water and burst at the surface.
When Ou Yangming submerged himself in the water, the temperature of the river in the morning of deep autumn was already very low, but he was still perspiring through every pore on his body. The beads of sweat mixed with the clear river water. The young fellow took a deep breath but was suddenly alarmed. He moved to the side as he could not be bothered about anything else at the moment, but the second he did, the small boat was crushed by a palm wind, and an airwave spread outward.
Ou Yangming was pushed outward by the airwave. His Qi and blood surged, and he could taste something sweet inside his mouth.
Li Xin looked confident as he remarked softly, “I must admit that you’re a genius. If I wasn’t struck by the idea to come back to take a look, you would’ve gotten away already. You’re quite capable to have wasted so much of my time.”
Ou Yangming shook his head. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he was. He retrieved the Blood Condensation Spear from his interspatial bag.
As he took a step forward, he became taller, and his momentum grew stronger. A strong wind was stirred up above his head.
Numerous mists drifted away in front of him, whereas a white cyclone was formed above his head. The cyclone kept collapsing inward, where it was formed and destroyed, and the process repeated itself. It was extremely mysterious, and it could not be put into words.
Ou Yangming pointed his spear at the sky and grunted. “Condense!”
The cyclone quickly surged and was pushed aside layer by layer, revealing a golden spear shadow that was condensed in the middle. Golden light spread in all directions, and an overbearing intent reverberated. It seemed like every obstacle would instantly be crushed by the spear. This was a domineering intent where nothing could be stopped by 3 mountains and 10 seas; this was—true path intent.
A playful look could be seen on Li Xin’s face as he was surprised yet overjoyed. ‘True path intent—this is true path intent. What if I fathom it and use it together with the devouring power?’ The thought of this caused him to have a fervent look in his eyes. ‘Fine, let me sense it for now. For all I know, I might apprehend something.’ With that, he paid attention and waited seriously.
At this moment, a queer head suddenly came out of the golden light. It had a black and a red eye each, and they looked like lanterns that were hanging from a roof. When the head opened its mouth, a devouring power burst out. Its teeth were thin and packed, and it let out a piercing sound as it tried to bite Li Xin.
Li Xin was startled, but he instantly went into a rage. It had not been over 2 days, but he was already fooled by a Spiritualist so many times.
It turned out that the path intent only existed for a show, by which Ou Yangming’s killing trick was the giant head, which was hiding inside the golden light. Given that Li Xin was prepared to witness the intent and even faced it calmly, this was simply a loud slap in his face.
He was furious, and he retreated right away while he ordered, “Blood Shadow, stop it!”
Blood Shadow’s face changed. At last, he gritted his teeth and used his body technique while he retrieved a giant red ax from his interspatial bag. The ax was over 3 meters long and unlike a normal ax, it looked like a bloody mist was surrounding it, and it did not have a blade. Blood Shadow had a ruthless look on his face as he lifted the ax and charged forward to chop the giant head.
After the giant head was blocked by Blood Shadow, Li Xin pressed his finger forward. Numerous green rattans then appeared in the sky, and they looked like messy algae that were full of life. All of a sudden, the tips of the rattans were red, which looked like drops of essence and blood that were drawn from between one’s eyebrows. When all of the rattans were eventually painted in red, they swayed in the wind. This scene was enough to give anyone chills. Under the sunlight, the rattans headed toward Ou Yangming to entangle him.
Even so, Ou Yangming remained composed.
A soft sound was heard coming from his interspatial bag. With a flash of thought, 1,080 Earthly Formation Boards flew out at the same time. They were connected from end to end, and a naturally smooth feeling filled the air. As the formation boards spun swiftly, the runes that seemed to have been carved by a knife, lit up concurrently. The lights shone in their splendors and released a power that seemed to be able to crush a mountain. As such, the rattans were blocked for the time being.
Taking advantage of the time that was bought by the Earthly Formation Boards, a light glowed in Ou Yangming’s hand as he retrieved an Illusion Formation Board.
Countless complicated patterns could be seen on the formation board, and they interlaced with each other. They could easily make one feel dizzy, such that one would be drawn if one took a few more looks at them, but one would not remember any of the lines. This was the effect of an illusion, where one would not be able to make sense of what was real or fake. The Illusion Formation Board was entirely different from the Earthly Formation Boards as it was about illusion. Similar to flowers in a mirror and a moon in the water, it could be seen but could not be reached.
Ou Yangming held the Blood Condensation Spear with his right hand and pushed outward with his left.
His overbearing mental power assimilated into the Illusion Formation Board, then an “illusory” conception burst out and moved forward. It enveloped a 3-kilometers range without warning.
Li Xin was dazed for a moment. At this time, Ou Yangming’s Blood Flight Waist Sash emitted a blood light again, and the light split the sky into the most perfect parabola. In the sky, the giant head bit a hole in Blood Shadow’s ax, then it flashed and disappeared.
When Li Xin finally came back to his senses, the redness in his eyes flowed out and painted half of the sky red.
He raised his right hand and pressed down cruelly. As a result, the 65 to 100 meters tall peak began to collapse bit by bit. At the hillside, the process became faster, where the mountaintop was flattened like paste. The mountains around trembled while gravel flew into the sky. Moreover, the calm River Tianlan surged once more.
Li Xin fully unleashed his speed as a top-grade Venerable One. He transformed into a red horse and zoomed out at the speed of light.
After half an hour, he simply leaped over 300 meters away. He looked coldly at a 300-meters tall bluestone below him.
“Hmph, are you trying to escape by utilizing the topography here again? I’ll surely catch you this time.” Li Xin sneered. He was very confident. It was worth noting that a top-grade Venerable One could be exceptionally frightening if one went all-out. After all, such a Venerable One could flatten a city.
Following that, a top-grade Venerable One’s momentum crushed downward, causing invisible airwaves to gush outward.
Ou Yangming’s face changed. A light flickered beneath him as he ran toward the forest.
Behind Ou Yangming, a dark green rattan grew with the wind and went after him. Due to the forceful momentum in the air, he could not retrieve his formation board at all. He only felt that the air around him was crushing inward as though he was stuck in the mud. The young fellow slowed down, and he felt like his mind had been frozen. He quickly bit the tip of his tongue, and the resulting pain dragged him out of the weird state. Subsequently, he fled toward the valley.
Li Xin scorned and lifted his hand to flick his fingers. The tip of the rattans turned red again, and every leaf grew into a rattan that swayed in the air.
At the spur of the moment, a “bam” was heard as the rattans expanded. They blotted out the sky as they were densely packed, and they surrounded Ou Yangming like water that was splashed in a hurry.
With that, rattans emerged from every corner at a range of 3 meters away from Ou Yangming. At that instant, rattans spread all over the trees, the sky, and the ground as if he had entered a dark green world of rattans.
“Boom.” The rattans folded up again after they expanded.
At this moment, Ou Yangming seemed to be standing on the exact opposite of the whole world. It seemed like even space was crushing toward him.
The rattans kept shrinking and cut off his road of retreat.
With a ruthless look on his face, Ou Yangming’s Heavenly Phoenix Fire scorched. The air around him then twisted at an unbelievable speed.
Hot blood was boiling inside Ou Yangming’s body. His body, tendons, and meridians were covered with hot blood.
‘I don’t want to die. I’m not willing to five up.’ Ou Yangming’s voice appeared in his head and slowly filled his mind.
“Even if it’s a Venerable One, I want to fight. I want to take control of my life!” His voice was hoarse as the Heavenly Phoenix Fire underwent a full outbreak. Blood and sweat were being secreted from every pore on his body, causing his clothes to turn red. This was the act of not wanting to give in—this was the representation of one’s blood being burned.
“Fight!” He licked the blood and sweat on the corner of his mouth.
The runes that neither looked like mists nor clouds on the Star Trace Suit gleamed.
“Starry Sky Traces!” Ou Yangming grunted.
“Star Trace Discharge!” He shouted coldly again. Next, 5 visible green threads were formed in the air, and they blocked in front of him.
The threads were incredibly thin, and they flickered light cold stars. They slowly dimmed and gave off a dark and hollow feeling, then they connected and formed a sharp big net to cut the rattans.
Countless rattans crumbled at once.
However, there were too many of them. They were endless and could not be completely cut off.
If one looked from above the sky at the moment, one could see that everything within a 300 meters range was replaced by rattans. Furthermore, a rattan ball that kept drawing inward was surrounding the center of a circle, which was Ou Yangming.
Li Xin glanced at Blood Shadow and chuckled. “It’s over. Let’s go!”
Just as he wanted to descend from the sky, dazzling golden lights were emitted from the thin gaps between the rattans…
Inside the rattans, the Blood Condensation Spear in Ou Yangming’s hand had turned into a golden light. A golden flame danced on top of it while the elongated maple leaf patterns burned. Everything burned.
Ou Yangming was determined at that point. The muscles on his arm tensed up as he swung his arm hand, then the Blood Condensation Spear turned into a golden light and shot out.
The spear represented Ou Yangming’s belief of refusing to admit defeat, as well as his resolution to fight out of desperation and eventually win the fight.
“Boom.” The Blood Condensation Spear exploded in the air, causing countless spear shadows to spread in all directions.
Wherever they passed, the rattans dispersed. It seemed like nothing could stop them. The luster that appeared at this time became the only thing in the sky, and a rumble could be heard in the universe as an enormous airwave extended to all directions. Apart from that, many giant trees and bluestones were crushed into powder, and they rose into the sky after that. It looked like the world was coming to an end as everything was destroyed. The spear attack’s power was so terrifying that even a top-grade Spiritualist would be troubled by the attack.
Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and tapped his Blood Flight Waist Sash. A blood light then drew a parabola in the air and disappeared in the chaotic sky…
