Chapter 57 Sudden Death from Innate Nature, Pillars Collapse
"My bloodline is not something you can bear."
The Serpent King remained calm, but secretly glanced at Xiang Zaishan on the ground, and his heart was filled with dread.
"So badly injured?"
He reached out and gently touched the wound. Milky white liquid seeped out from deep within the scales, covering the deep wound that exposed bone.
However, this did not work, and the wound tissue healed abnormally slowly.
"Such powerful innate sword energy!"
Xiang Zaishan remained resolute, saying, "I'm fine. I wasn't seriously injured. Father, kill him! Avenge my brother!"
Xiang Shengtian nodded and said loudly, "Old Feng! After all these years, you still like to hide your face? My brother, I can sense your rumbling stomach, aren't you coming out?"
The words echoed for a moment among the mountains.
A sinister voice came from the bushes: "Old Xiang, you look very young, but in reality, you're just like me, already quite old."
The conversation was taking place in the east, but the figure appeared in the west. The old man, with his thin, filthy body and a few white hairs on his face, looked like a strange, unremarkable country farmer.
Xiang Shengtian said calmly, "The earth dragon is about to rise again. Only by devouring this human can we recover some strength. This fellow is currently affected by the demonic blood of my race, so he should be completely annihilated!"
Rat King Feng Zizai chuckled and said, "I wonder how much strength you, Old Xiang, still have left."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Shengtian immediately threw his head back and laughed heartily, his demeanor arrogant.
The rising demonic blood turned his purple robe into dust, and almost instantly his body swelled to more than ten feet in length, with a crescent-shaped longsword slowly extending from deep within his arm.
The sky darkened, and a menacing aura filled the air.
The next moment, the massive body transformed into a black shadow and shot out with a burst of light, carrying with it a rainbow of violent blood energy that danced across the sky.
At this moment, Cao Lie, the swordsman who was over seventy years old, no longer had any thought of escaping.
No matter how brilliant his strategies were, he could hardly have imagined that his descendants would somehow capture the young son of the serpent king who had wreaked havoc in the land, and then refine him into a pill and swallow it to break through to the next realm.
It turns out that the chaos caused by the Three Calamities Blade Demons these days was all due to this, and it was also because he made the bold statement of slaying the demons after breaking through the realm that he came to this demon cave alone with his sword.
Everything has its cause and effect, and since it all started with me, it must come to an end with me.
Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh. How ever-present and unpredictable is the hand of fate! When he thought he had finally broken free of his shackles and reached the innate realm he had dreamed of all his life, how could he have imagined that such a great calamity would be looming over him?
but,
If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.
Regardless, his lifelong dedication to swordsmanship and training had not been in vain, and he was certain that everything he had learned would blossom as brilliantly as fireworks.
Thinking of this, his mind became as clear as crystal, with only this body, this sword, this sky, and this earth, and his soaring fighting spirit driving the lingering sword energy.
To die and then to live.
The sword's cry suddenly burst forth, filling the heavens and earth; startled birds took flight, and crows and geese turned and flew far away.
In the blink of an eye, countless swords clashed.
The invincible innate true energy stirred the blood energy, causing it to spray and disperse like water droplets, causing rocks, trees, and other plants to rise from the ground wherever it passed.
In an instant, Cao Lie entered the posture of the entire province, allowing the demonic blood to taint him, and each sword strike was infused with blazing innate sword energy.
call--
Xiang Shengtian somersaulted and flew backward.
How terrifying this moment is!
The Cao family patriarch transformed into a sword light and soared into the sky, unleashing layers upon layers of explosive sword rain. A turbid giant wave rippled across the entire lake surface, and the surging sword energy pierced through the water. In no time, numerous dead creatures floated to the surface.
"Old Feng, aren't you going to make a move?!"
The Rat King was shocked and bewildered. He never expected that this human's fighting spirit could be so vast and magnificent, and that he could be so contemptuous in the face of impending death. If he did not make a move, Xiang Shengtian would be severely injured under the sword light.
Upon thinking of this,
A raging blood shadow stretched for several meters, attacking Cao Lie from behind.
"Good timing!!!"
Cao Lie's body, burning with vital energy, soared and fought fiercely in the sea of blood, enduring 1,109 sword strikes before a sudden change occurred.
His true energy was nearly depleted, and his demonic blood began to stir.
stab-
A sharp pain shot through my back.
The Rat King flicked its tongue, revealing a maniacal laugh. Thick, green mucus flowed from its sharp teeth as it slowly put a piece of flesh into its mouth and began to chew it.
"Ah... the flesh and blood I was born with... I haven't eaten such delicious food in so long..."
His face showed pure bliss.
Cao Lie's back, on the other hand, revealed a patch of stark white bone.
With that one scratch, a large chunk was torn off his body, which he had painstakingly honed over sixty years!
Fresh blood was flowing freely.
"Want some? There's plenty more here! Come on!!!"
The sword light suddenly surged and shot towards the Rat King.
The shattered illusions scattered in the air.
The Rat King's body appeared several feet away.
"My Ruyi Three Illusions is something even that swordsman from the Ziyang Sect back then couldn't catch. Your sword is fast, but it can't even touch the hem of my clothes. Today, you can only be eaten by me."
Blood trickled from Xiang Sheng's mouth, but his vertical pupils revealed a crazed look. Cao Lie's injuries were getting worse and worse. Now they only needed to keep wearing him down, and they were not worried about him not dying here.
"kill!!"
The two demons continued their siege without engaging in a decisive battle, intending to deplete Cao Lie's true energy and also to awaken his demonic nature, thus eroding his will.
brush!!!
Another painful experience.
Cao Lie glanced at it and saw that a piece of flesh had been torn off his chest by the rat demon, revealing his glistening sternum.
There was no time to catch his breath. The blades and blood shadows attacked again. After dozens of rounds, Cao Lie's legs, waist, shoulders, and arms were exposed, revealing their stark white bones.
As his sword transformed into a rainbow, Cao Lie repelled the rat demon and sped into the mountains and forests.
"Oh no, he's trying to escape!!"
Xiang Shengtian suddenly charged forward, but Shu Junfeng Zizai turned into a phantom and quickly darted backward, a look of horror on his face.
The next moment, Cao Lie's figure suddenly leaped across the rocks, his ferocious speed doubling in an instant.
With his aged face as if cast in iron, Cao Lie thought of his family and descendants, wondering what the world would say after this battle, and what would become of his family.
But in that fleeting moment, his will and spirit were completely integrated into the sword. His aged body carried a touch of fierceness, a touch of determination, a touch of never giving up, and a touch of unstoppable momentum.
Trees in all directions fell down in the direction of the sword energy. Cao Lie merged with the sword light and shot towards the horrified Serpent Lord.
He began practicing swordsmanship at the age of ten, and the essence and understanding of sixty years are all contained in this one sword strike, blooming completely.
Cao Lie unleashed the most powerful sword strike of his life in this way of burning his life.
The powerful ripples, like raging waves, shot out in all directions, causing trees to fall in rows and rocks to fly everywhere.
The sword's cry, piercing through clouds and splitting rocks, echoed through the earth and mountains, lingering for a long time.
Xiang Shengtian let out a scream, and the scales on his body peeled off layer by layer, splattering crimson demonic blood in all directions.
The longsword shattered inch by inch, turning into fragments that shot out in all directions, merging with the surrounding rocks and trees.
"Awooo!!!!"
The Rat King let out a sharp screech and transformed into a bloody shadow, pouncing on Cao Lie as he flew through the air.
Before this, the latter had already been completely destroyed.
He bit into the flesh of the innate body, tearing a huge hole in Shengtian's chest, but at this moment, he could not help but eat despite the pain.
A series of chewing sounds rose and fell, and the wild beasts around them fled in terror.
