Free Web NovelChapter 307: Chapter 306: Crushing the 3 Shadows, Sweeping Invincibly
BZZZT!
A spider-shaped mark emerged from the center of Jueying Zhenren’s brow!
His bonded Spirit Pet!
However, the mark’s appearance wasn’t for a summoning, but for a fusion!
"ROAR!"
Jueying Zhenren’s eyes turned crimson as his physical body began to transform!
From his ribs, eight spider-like limbs, gleaming like cold iron spears, suddenly burst forth!
It was like a demon from a story revealing its true form, shedding its human skin!
BOOM!
Pitch-black smoke erupted from Jueying Zhenren, radiating outward in all directions!
WHOOSH.
A moment later, the smoke cleared.
Jueying Zhenren, the great cultivator at Crystal Perfection and leader of the Four Shadows, had transformed into a monster—half-man, half-spider, with six eyes, eight legs, and wreathed in black mist!
The Shadow-devouring Spider Demon transformation!
On the Path of Beast Taming, besides the most traditional beastmasters,
there existed many other branches!
For example: the path of transformation!
A beast-taming cultivator could fuse and transform with their bonded Spirit Pet!
They would become a being that possessed a cultivator’s spellcasting abilities and combat awareness, yet also had a demonic beast’s powerful physique and Regeneration Skill!
Furthermore.
BZZZT!
The Thousand Sceneries Shadow Slaying Saber, a top-tier magic weapon, was thrown into the air.
In mid-air, it dismantled itself, separating into eight fragments!
And then, these eight fragments merged into Jueying Zhenren’s eight spider limbs, becoming their blades!
SHINK SHINK SHINK!
The reinforced spider limbs resembled a forest of long spears.
In an instant, they unleashed nearly a thousand thrusts!
Each thrust contained enough power to easily pierce through a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.
After activating the Shadow-devouring Spider Demon transformation and merging with his bonded Spirit Pet, Jueying Zhenren’s combat power had surged significantly!
And yet...
Such an attack was purely for defense!
Because.
At that same moment, Su Ye moved!
It was a simple motion.
He raised his hand.
And threw the spear.
Whale-Hunting Spear!
He hurled the Moonfall Halberd!
It was completely silent, because... its speed was far greater than the speed of sound!
A blurred silver line, almost too fast for the naked eye to see, streaked across the sky!
"Hiss..."
"So fast!"
Jueying Zhenren’s pupils contracted violently.
He formed a hand seal and began an incantation, about to summon more techniques to bolster his defense.
But then, the light in Jueying Zhenren’s eyes suddenly went dim, and his hand seal faltered.
Soul Suppressing!
As both were Tier Three, the Soul Suppressing effect had priority!
Jueying Zhenren naturally couldn’t be exempt!
SCHLICK!
The silver line traversed hundreds of feet in an instant.
As if piercing a sheet of paper, it penetrated Jueying Zhenren’s chest!
And its momentum didn’t stop there!
The curved blade hooked into him, carrying Jueying Zhenren’s body backward at extreme speed!
BOOM!
In the blink of an eye.
The Moonfall Halberd flew for several miles before embedding itself in the ground like a javelin!
It was like the impact of a cannonball.
An invisible shockwave erupted!
Black rock fragments flew everywhere!
Plumes of dust rose into the air!
It left a mark resembling a meteor crater!
Jueying Zhenren’s body was pinned to the center of this crater!
SQUELCH.
The wound tore open.
From the wound, blood flowed down the Silver Frost Halberd Blade, spreading like little red snakes.
DRIP, DRIP. It fell to the ground, forming a pool of blood in just a few breaths!
It was unknown whether Jueying Zhenren was alive or dead!
The battlefield fell silent!
...
「In the distance.」
"How is this possible?"
Phantom Zhenren’s face was a mask of shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Her cherry-red lips parted as she raised a hand to cover them.
"How could this be?"
She had counted clearly.
From the start of the fight, not even ten breaths had passed!
Yet Jueying Zhenren—the leader of the Four Shadows, a cultivator at Perfection Crystal Cultivation—had been utterly defeated, his fate unknown!
Moreover, this devastating loss couldn’t be excused by claiming he had underestimated his opponent or been careless!
In terms of cultivation, it was a Crystal Perfection fighting a Mid-stage Crystal.
In terms of numbers, it was two of the Four Shadows ganging up on one person!
Jueying Zhenren had even used his strongest trump card, the Shadow-devouring Spider Demon transformation!
Phantom Zhenren knew that unlike conventional transformation paths, Jueying Zhenren’s involved Quasi-Techniques!
But, he still...
"Gulp."
Phantom Zhenren swallowed nervously.
She stared at the black-robed figure in mid-air.
A look of genuine fear appeared on her pretty face!
’This Cyan Profound cultivator... he’s so powerful it feels like I’m in a dream!’
"Su Ye...?"
"No wonder he could serve as the commander-in-chief of the United Fleet with only a Mid-Stage Crystal Cultivation..."
"He’s clearly far more powerful than even someone at Crystal Perfection!"
Phantom Zhenren muttered in horror.
Her eyelid twitched violently, and the thought of fleeing filled her mind!
...
WHOOSH.
A gentle breeze stirred.
One strike!
He had grievously wounded Jueying Zhenren.
Su Ye was perfectly calm.
Then,
his pair of ethereal blue eyes shifted slightly.
He looked toward a spot in the sky where there was nothing but drifting clouds.
He stared intently.
「A moment later.」
Faint ripples appeared in the air.
An old man in gray robes, looking like a dead tree, materialized.
Beside him, a dagger shrouded in a gray glow hovered in the air.
"Such powerful Divine Sense..."
"I suppose... Wuying also fell to you?"
Chengying’s gaze was solemn.
Though it was a question, there was no hint of inquiry in his tone.
It was painfully obvious.
Su Ye had no intention of answering.
Instead, he asked,
"Want to try?"
"Killing me."
"My magic weapon isn’t with me right now. This is your best chance."
The corner of Su Ye’s mouth curled into a smile.
However, it held not a trace of warmth.
Instead, his ethereal blue eyes revealed a hint of cruel, icy intent!
At that moment, the Divine Blood, at a high concentration of 50%,
was surging through his veins at an incredible speed!
This caused tyrannical and bloodthirsty desires to constantly well up within him!
"Those eyes..."
"The peculiarity of an Innate Dao Body?"
"The Cyan Profound Sect really has recruited a fine prospect..."
Chengying’s eyes narrowed as he gave Su Ye a look filled with deep apprehension.
Before his words had even faded,
his body had already turned into a phantom, slowly dissipating!
At the same time, the shadows behind Su Ye surged like a tide, and Chengying’s figure suddenly appeared!
His dagger-like magic weapon became a streak of light, stabbing straight for Su Ye’s heart!
Shadow Escape!
However.
CLANG!
A hand as flawless as white jade caught the dagger.
A faint red mark appeared on the palm, but...
—that was all!
"With his bare hands?!"
Chengying was horrified.
’That’s a magic weapon!’
He didn’t know.
Tier Three Late Stage Body Refining.
Thirty-four points in defense attributes.
The Defense Power it provided was just that terrifying!
Then, Su Ye let out a savage grin.
His muscles and bones trembled slightly as his five fingers clenched tight.
He threw a heavy punch!
BOOM!
The air cracked!
Chengying’s protective magical barrier shattered instantly!
Along with it, the upper half of his torso exploded under the force of the punch, turning into a bloody mist!
THUD.
He went into freefall, crashed to the ground, and fell unconscious as his vision went black!
Having dealt with two Crystal Perfection cultivators,
Su Ye’s figure flickered, using a Wind Escape Skill to cross dozens of li.
He appeared right above Phantom Zhenren!
"Hiss!"
"Wait! Can we talk this over?"
