NOVPUB"Seeking death? Colluding with evil demons and heretics, you’re the one seeking death!"
Su Changkong spoke coldly, summoning his divine skills. A suit of platinum-colored armor formed and enveloped his body with an air of ancient dignity and majesty, as if he were an emperor who ruled over all under the heavens, too intimidating to be looked upon directly.
"Boom!"
In a flash, Su Changkong closed the distance with Gu Ming again, his divine light bursting forth, displaying the stature of a Martial Saint with every punch and palm.
"You will understand the price of angering me!" Gu Ming grinded his teeth with a grating sound, his skin turning a ghostly green. Around him, waves of ghastly green flames that seemed to be hellfire appeared, hurtling towards Su Changkong. Even a touch would reduce the flesh of ordinary Divine Seed Martial Saints to nothingness!
The clash between two powerful beings was such that even average Entering Saint Martial Artists would find it difficult to approach.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Yu Xing, the leader of the Heavenly Saint Soldiers, also let out a furious roar. With a thrust of his right hand, a short spear appeared and was projected through the air.
"Swish!"
That short spear, wrapped in golden light like a Heavenly God’s spear, shot towards the disciples of the Blood River Sect.
"Splat!"
A disciple of the Blood River Sect didn’t even have time to react before the spear pierced through his skull, blood and brains splattering, killing him instantly!
A great battle erupted in an instant.
Blood Jade Hall couldn’t believe Su Changkong dared to make a move under these circumstances. Seeing their own disciple slain, their eyes instantly filled with furious bloodshot veins, "You’re seeking death!"
Blood Jade Hall dare not kill the members of the Jiang Family, fearing a repeat of what had happened hundreds of years ago when Jiang Family sent strong warriors to destroy their sect. However, the Heavenly Saint Soldiers were fair game—if they dared to act, then they would all be killed!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Blood Jade Hall’s burly body moved through the void, wrapped in divine patterns. Accompanied by the sound of surging tides, he, as if a surging river of blood, charged directly at Yu Xing, who had made the first move.
"Locking Immortal Hand!"
Yu Xing channeled his divine skills, his five fingers stretching forth, manifesting five thick chains in the void. These chains could lock down a person’s movements and cultivation, wrapping around the surging Blood Jade Hall.
"Scram!"
Blood Jade Hall let out a thunderous shout, which was even more terrifying than divine skills themselves. The entwining chains were violently shattered and cast aside, and with his right fist clenched, he furiously bombarded Yu Xing’s chest, compressing the void into a singularity, making it nearly impossible for Yu Xing to dodge and forcing him to take the hit head-on.
"Commander Yu!"
The surrounding Heavenly Saint Soldiers’ armor glimmered with radiant divine light, subtly connected to Yu Xing, indicating they had deployed a joint secret technique. Centered on Yu Xing, it dramatically enhanced his aura.
"Bang!"
The punch smashed into Yu Xing’s chest, sending shockwaves rippling, throwing him backward, causing the other Heavenly Saint Soldiers to tremble and their strengths to diminish.
It was only thanks to the Divine Artifact armor, standard issue among the Heavenly Saint Soldiers, which provided not only amazing defense but also the ability to share the impact among them, that Yu Xing could withstand Blood Jade Hall’s punch without dying or suffering grave injuries.
"Facing the Divine Body Realm... is way too forced!"
Yu Xing, as he stabilized his body from being flung, couldn’t help but think that despite their joint formation and Divine Artifact armor, without sufficient numbers, they stood little chance against Blood Jade Hall.
"I’ll shatter your shell!"
After knocking Yu Xing back with a punch, Blood Jade Hall’s blood-red hair fluttered in the wind, giving Yu Xing no chance to catch his breath.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening tiger’s roar echoed in Yu Xing’s ears, piercing his soul and slowing his movements. A fierce and domineering punch force struck him from the side—naturally, it came from Su Changkong.
Yu Xing’s brow furrowed in displeasure. To him, the power and speed of this punch seemed ordinary, but the fact that it contained forces that targeted the Sea of Consciousness and soul made it undesirable to face head-on. With a thought, a drop of blood seeped from Yu Xing’s pores, quickly expanding into a nearly three-foot diameter blood globe, creating a barrier between them.
"Bang!"
Su Changkong’s heavy punch landed on the blood globe, sending vibrations and splitting forces through it, causing the globe to cave in and distort before exploding outward.
From the shattered blood globe, a large hand reached out, aiming for Su Changkong’s throat with a grip that could crush regular Divine Artifact armor to pieces.
Su Changkong stepped on the void, his figure flashing like a shadow, evading Yu Xing’s decisive grab.
"You take on the remnants of the Blood River Sect, and leave him to me!"
Su Changkong’s voice rang out in Yu Xing and the others’ minds.
"Yes!"
At this moment, Yu Xing and his people had no choice but to trust Su Changkong. Jiang Yao’s decision to let Su Changkong take on Blood Jade Hall must have been based on some level of confidence.
Yu Xing and his contingent of thirty-one all steered clear of Blood Jade Hall, charging towards the disciples of the Blood River Sect.
The bloodlust of Blood Jade Hall surged; he did not know the identity of this black-clothed youth but anyone who dared to obstruct him would meet only a dead end!
"Divine Body Realm… Let’s see just how far you can go!"
Su Changkong’s eyes blazed with high fighting spirit. Since the strength of Blood Jade Hall was average among those in the Divine Body Realm, it excited Su Changkong to hunt!
"River of Blood Hell!"
Blood Jade Hall activated his Divine Skills, godly patterns transforming to crimson, heavy with the thick scent of blood in the air.
The sky dimmed in a flash, the midday sun stained blood-red, and Su Changkong realized that within a radius of several miles from where he stood, there surged dark undercurrents as if he was trapped within a blood river.
The overpowering stench of blood made Su Changkong’s brain slightly dizzy, and his body felt extremely heavy, as if he was deep in the ocean, bearing immense pressure, struggling to even move a finger.
"Die!"
Blood Jade Hall’s face twisted ferociously, the blood-red river tightened like a massive serpent, coiling and crushing towards Su Changkong at its center.
The most sophisticated movements lost their effectiveness in the face of Blood Jade Hall’s Divine Skills.
"Five Animal Frolics. White Crane Escapes into Void!"
Su Changkong dared not be careless, with the Divine Patterns of the Five Animal Divine Seed circulating in his heart, his body swiftly became translucent and vanished into the river of blood.
"Crack! Snap!"
Between the twisting of the blood river, there broke out a chain of collisions and booming sounds.
"Hm?"
Blood Jade Hall looked surprised. Su Changkong’s presence had disappeared, but he could feel that his Divine Skills had not killed him!
"Sss!"
During Blood Jade Hall’s surprise, a tall figure materialized from the void in front of him. Su Changkong rushed from the void, piercing through the barriers of space, gripping the handle of the Iron-Cutting Sword, his Primordial Spirit resonating with the sword in his hands, rendering the blade golden in color and, from the air, delivering a downward chop.
Before the sword even struck, it caused Blood Jade Hall’s spirit to falter slightly.
Blood Jade Hall raised a beefy arm to meet the descending blade, godly patterns winding around his limb!
"Sss!"
As the sword struck down, the mountain below split open a nearly thousand-meter-long colossal fissure, yet the sharp blade failed to cut through Blood Jade Hall’s muscle, protected as it was by the indestructible godly patterns.
"To withstand my Iron-Cutting Sword with your flesh?"
Su Changkong inwardly marveled at the potency of the Divine Body warriors.
Divine Patterns etched into the flesh significantly strengthened the physique, casual strikes equating to Divine Skill might, and the Divine Body was impregnable. Below the Divine Body Realm, it was difficult to inflict meaningful damage on such a formidable opponent!
With just a thought from Su Changkong, as the Iron-Cutting Sword hit Blood Jade Hall’s arm, golden threads spread out, climbing along Blood Jade Hall’s arm, attempting to bind him.
The impregnable Geng Metal silkworm silk, not only could it kill enemies, but it could also entrap them! 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Blood Jade Hall was expressionless while his skin turned blood red, and before the Geng Metal silkworm silk could retract and strangle him, it became as if poisoned, changing to crimson and even eroding backwards toward Su Changkong.
Su Changkong immediately cut off the Geng Metal silkworm silk to prevent the corrupting influence of Blood Jade Hall’s Divine Skills.
"A mere Martial Saint with a Divine Seed… dares to challenge me?"
Blood Jade Hall’s gaze was cold as a tomb. After a brief exchange, he judged that Su Changkong was merely a Martial Saint with a Divine Seed, and even the level of power he showed suggested that he hadn’t reached the third layer of the Entering Saint Heaven, with an amount of Divine Patterns that was fairly common.
This infuriated Blood Jade Hall; he was a Divine Body Martial Saint, and if it were an elite from an Ancient Clan such as Jiang Yao, it would have been a different matter. But this black-clothed youth dared to attack him proactively? It was a contemptuous affront, and he absolutely had to obliterate him, spirit and soul, to extract the most grievous price!
