Chapter 55 One Against Four (Seeking Follow-up Reads, Seeking Tickets)
They had not been separated for long at this moment, making it inconvenient to attack. It was perfect timing to lead these few people on a stroll through this Palace Complex, searching for a Treasure Land of Opportunity while also figuring out the situation of the Earth Palace.
Perhaps there might be a Formation and Restriction that could be utilized.
Of course, it would be fine even if there wasn't. He had the confidence to eliminate these four people. Although his Cultivation to this day was far from reaching an invincible state, in the Qi Condensation Realm, few were his match.
Various Perfected Techniques and Secret Arts were all part of his battle prowess.
Especially the power he possessed after reattaching his severed limb completely transcended a layer. If he didn't fight now, when would he?!!
Three incense sticks later.
At the instant of passing the corner of a Palace, in the shadows, Wang Yu fully activated the Night Concealment Spell. His Aura instantly vanished, and his entire being seemed to transform into shadows, achieving a visual stealth effect.
He pressed tightly against the Palace wall, even his breathing ceased. In a short while, Su Qing Shan and the other three rushed over, their expressions unsightly as they said:
"Cunning brat, how can he run so fast!"
"His Aura has also disappeared."
"Did we lose him?"
Su Qing Shan's face was gloomy. As he turned his head to speak, his pupils constricted. He was renowned in the Outer Sect for his Combat Technique, and at this moment, he felt his skin tighten, an extremely dangerous sensation coming from his neck.
Immediately retreating backward, he also summoned a High-Grade Magic Artifact in the shape of an ice-blue long sword, erecting it in front of him as a defensive measure!
In the next instant, his pupils constricted sharply.
He saw a giant Ice Sword nearly three zhang (ten meters) long sweeping horizontally, aiming precisely at their heads. His peripheral vision glanced at the sword hilt.
It was Wang Yu wielding the sword with his left hand, forcefully swinging it over.
This was another form variation of the Perfected Ice Sword Technique, combining scattered forces into one, making its power even greater than ordinary High-Grade Spells.
Someone reacted in time, falling backward to dodge, but their chest was still frozen into patches of frost.
Someone else tapped their toes on the ground, displaying exquisite Movement Technique, also dodging the sudden attack.
However, there was still a Seventh Layer Qi Condensation Stage cultivator who, in panic, chose to use a Mid-Grade Magic Artifact level saber to block, just like Su Qing Shan.
Then, everyone witnessed a scene that was utterly horrifying.
The giant Ice Sword was unstoppable, shattering the treasured saber into fragments. That cultivator was also blasted into a cloud of blood mist, scattering a large amount of body parts and organs. The power was simply appalling!
"Cough, cough—"
Su Qing Shan, who had used his Artifact Crafting to defend, knelt on one knee, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, staring at Wang Yu with a face full of dread.
He could roughly guess how Xu Jiao Jiao had died.
It was nothing more than a contest of brute force, where she had been outmatched. While feeling dread, he also developed a greedy desire for Wang Yu's left hand. That abnormal swelling and dense Corpse Energy were very much like some kind of special Magic Artifact.
"This child is giving his all, his stamina will be insufficient.
"Attack!"
The one with exquisite Movement Technique pulled out afterimages, raising his foot and sweeping horizontally, kicking out a visible nine-foot Wind-Splitting Step like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves.
This was a unique Body Refinement Technique of Savage Ghost Peak.
Wind-Splitting Step.
The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect wasn't entirely a dark style inheritance. There were also normal Techniques. As the attack approached, Wang Yu swayed his body, transforming into three and quickly scattering.
The Phantom Form Steps in Perfected State were incredibly deceptive. One Phantom Body actively met the Wind-Splitting force head-on, while the remaining Phantom Bodies approached this person like butterflies flitting through flowers.
In an instant.
Wang Yu's left hand grabbed the leg he kicked out, shaking it with brute force. With cracking sounds, tendons and bones were dislocated, and then he slammed it into the Ground.
"Splatter—"
It was directly smashed into three sections, and the upper body was even turned into minced meat. Such ferocity could not help but make people gasp in cold air!
The one whose chest was frozen grew even more hesitant, and when Wang Yu's dark green eyes swept over him, he couldn't help but tremble, his heart giving rise to thoughts of retreat.
"Die!"
Just at this moment, Su Qing Shan, holding his ice-blue long sword, slashed down with full force. Under the augmentation of Spirit Power, the Magic Artifact emitted a shimmering fluctuation, surprisingly having a similar effect to the Ice Sword Technique.
A giant Ice Sword slashed down from behind. Wang Yu's old strength was exhausted, and new strength had not yet arisen. Under the urging of his Divine Sense, the Bronze Bell Magic Artifact, a spoil of war he had refined earlier, was summoned by him.
"Dong—"
The Ice Sword collided with the bronze bell, emitting the sound of metal clashing, even though both were High-Grade Magic Artifacts, Wang Yu's Cultivation Level was weaker. In a head-on clash, he was actually suppressed by Su Qing Shan, and couldn't help but kneel down.
Su Qing Shan was overjoyed and said, "Brother Zhicai, attack quickly!"
Xi Zhicai, who had originally intended to leave, saw Wang Yu's difficult resistance, and greed arose in his heart again. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly attacking.
He was from the Evil God Peak Inner Sect. When he circulated his power, his forehead was covered with sinister black patterns, and a vertical pupil seemed to open, blooming with black rays of light that shot straight over.
Wang Yu's pupils also constricted. Although he hadn't been in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect for long, he couldn't be said to have a particularly deep understanding of the Nine Peaks inheritance.
However, he had lived in Evil God Market for a long time, and he only had some understanding of Evil God Peak. This peak's inheritance was mainly focused on Divine Sense, nurturing Yin ghosts to transform into ghost gods, referred to as [Evil Gods]!
Being able to use the power of Evil Gods in human form, specializing in attacking cultivators' Divine Sense.
Divine Sense was difficult to cultivate. Generally, Foundation Establishment Cultivators would deliberately begin to consciously strengthen their Divine Sense. The Evil God Peak inheritance was profound, starting to cultivate Divine Sense in the Qi Condensation Realm, leading to its extremely high entry difficulty.
Without talent in this Dao, it was difficult to cultivate to a profound state.
This was also one of the reasons why it did not have Nascent Soul Cultivators sitting in command.
Except for some Increase in Divine Sense during Pill Refining, Wang Yu had no foundation in this area. This person just happened to hit his weak point.
Seeing the black light approaching, Wang Yu gritted his teeth and braced himself.
At the instant he slapped his palm on the Ground, his entire body shifted horizontally. Although he dodged the black beam, the bronze bell was cleaved away by Su Qing Shan's sword, and a large amount of Ice Crystals appeared out of thin air, directly freezing it.
The opportunity was fleeting. Su Qing Shan immediately chased after him and slashed down again, sword light and Gale Blades of ten-meter-long length emerging endlessly.
Wang Yu used his left arm to block. The Mountain-Patterned Iron Armor Garment that came with the Divine Power Corpse Arm was cleaved, producing harsh scraping sounds. He once again witnessed the Effect of the Second Rank Armored Corpse arm.
Seeing that it was difficult to take him down for a long time, Su Qing Shan became anxious.
Back then, even when dealing with a Qi Condensation Eighth Layer at Qi Condensation Sixth Layer, it wasn't this difficult. Now, it was even worse. He was already Qi Condensation Eighth Layer, yet he still couldn't take down a Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer.
He immediately spoke out, "Brother Zhicai, what exactly are you doing!"
"Boom—"
In a clash, the two retreated far away from each other.
Su Qing Shan's pupils constricted, and he looked at Wang Yu's back in disbelief. It turned out that Xi Zhicai was bound and killed by an Ice Coffin. Three thick Ice Spikes pierced through the Ice Coffin, skewering him in a bloody mess.
"When did this happen..."
"It was naturally during the defensive exchanges just now. Senior Brother Qing Shan wouldn't think that Wang was completely suppressed by you just now, would you?"
Concealing his face with his sleeve, he swallowed a Supreme Grade Spirit Replenishing Pill.
The Spirit Power consumed by repeatedly casting High-Grade Spells was quickly replenished. Wang Yu once again pulled out Phantom Bodies, standing in ten directions. Hand Seals were formed with his right hand, and hundreds of hiltless Ice Swords shot out in a volley.
Su Qing Shan swept his sword horizontally, shattering all the Ice Swords, and said with a gloomy face, "Don't be smug. Su is famous in the Outer Sect, how could you, a mere Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer, be a match for me."
"Mysterious Yin Hand!"
