I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 501: Chapter 299: Awakening of the True Spirit of the Divine Fiend (Part 2)

Qin Yuesheng was naturally pleased to see this. The forces on both sides fought each other, hoping for him to take advantage of the situation like a fisherman profiting from a fight between snipe and clam.

Jin Zihua faced attacks from both sides and felt immense pressure. However, knowing that his sect sent him alone to the East Wilds to fight Xuanyang Monarch for the True Spirit of Divine Fury, naturally, they didn’t let him come to die without preparation, providing him with plenty of valuable artifacts to equip him with the strength to fight.

Flame Ghost Venerable attacked with a torrent of flames. These flames were red to the point of turning purple, clearly not ordinary fire. Surprisingly, they emitted no heat. If Jin Zihua closed his eyes, he might not have sensed the approaching fire.

Unlike usual objects, they seemed particularly menacing.

Without the slightest hesitation, he summoned a dragon-headed short staff and hurled it at Flame Ghost Venerable.

Meanwhile, he used a small sword to block Xuanyang Monarch’s attack.

Flame Ghost Venerable had wreaked havoc in the East Wilds centuries ago and had never ventured out, so he instinctively underestimated the dragon-headed short staff that Jin Zihua had summoned.

Unbeknownst to him, the seemingly ordinary dragon-headed short staff passed right through Flame Ghost Venerable’s fire curtain, heading directly for his chest.

All the flames were absorbed by the dragon-headed staff’s dragon mouth, an item that seemed to be the bane of flames.

Witnessing this scene, Flame Ghost Venerable’s expression immediately changed, and he couldn’t help but be a little alarmed.

The cost of viewing the sky from the bottom of a well was paying the price for his negligence. Seeing the dragon-headed staff getting closer, Flame Ghost Venerable quickly pushed forth with both hands, launching a pure purple fireball.

Bang!

The fireball collided with the dragon-headed short staff. Unsurprisingly, the flames were once again absorbed by the staff, rendering Flame Ghost Venerable’s techniques utterly useless at this moment.

"Fire Dragon Staff! You even brought such a Divine Soldier of the Righteous Alliance." As a Left Guard Envoy of the Celestial Evil Sect, Xuanyang Monarch’s insight was exceptional, instantly recognizing the origin of the dragon-headed short staff.

He also fully understood that Jin Zihua was here to seize the True Spirit of Divine Fury, likely to empower this Divine Soldier.

The Fire Dragon Staff was not a combat-oriented Divine Soldier. It could absorb all fire, from the great tribulation of Celestial Fire to mere kitchen stove fires.

It was a significant Divine Soldier of the Righteous Alliance. If it were to gain intellect from the True Spirit of Divine Fury, the Righteous Alliance’s power would surely rise significantly.

This was something Xuanyang Monarch absolutely did not want to see.

Thus, without a moment’s delay, Xuanyang Monarch quickly tossed an item, sending it flying toward Jin Zihua.

The object flew with incredible speed, making it impossible for most to discern what it was. But this was no challenge for Qin Yuesheng. By enhancing his vision, he saw the object’s true form was fully revealed before his eyes.

It was a shuttle adorned with a pair of iron spikes.

The shuttle was pointed at both ends, hollow in the middle, dazzling with dark golden patterns. As it flew, its iron wings flapped intensely, granting it terrifying speed.

Seeing the shuttle approach and feeling its terrifying sharpness up close, Jin Zihua immediately dodged to the side. But unexpectedly, the shuttle changed direction mid-air, continuing to pursue him with remarkable agility.

"Soul-Piercing Punishment!" Jin Zihua muttered in shock.

The Celestial Evil Sect had three notorious Evil Soldiers known as Bone-Breaking Punishment, Decapitation Punishment, and Soul-Piercing Punishment, all devices of torture, with Soul-Piercing Punishment being the object before him.

The shuttle could effortlessly pierce one’s chest, creating a fist-sized hole through the heart, hence its name.

Named for its heart-piercing power, its penetrative force was not to be underestimated. Even Jin Zihua had little confidence in his ability to withstand a single blow from Soul-Piercing Punishment.

This battle between Jin Zihua and Xuanyang Monarch was but a microcosm of the contest between the Righteous Alliance and the Celestial Evil Sect.

As Soul-Piercing Punishment was about to pierce through Jin Zihua’s chest, a black shadow suddenly flashed by, pulling Jin Zihua aside with ease, evading the attack.

Jin Zihua felt instantly relieved, looking at the person who saved him with both gratitude and confusion.

Who was this person? The fact they came here and saved him meant they were more likely a friend than a foe. Could it be a hidden backup arranged by the Righteous Alliance?

The person who saved Jin Zihua was Qin Yuesheng.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend. With the combined strength of Xuanyang Monarch and Flame Ghost Venerable, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t afford to let Jin Zihua die so easily before eliminating one of them.

At this stage, the opponent was still considered an ally.

When Qin Yuesheng appeared, Xuanyang Monarch was momentarily stunned, never expecting that besides himself and Jin Zihua, there was someone else who could arrive here.

When did the other party come? How long had they been here?

Flame Ghost Venerable’s abilities were entirely suppressed by the Fire Dragon Staff. But since it wasn’t as lethally damaging as Soul-Piercing Punishment, Flame Ghost Venerable had the opportunity to glance over at Qin Yuesheng.

What he saw made him furious, nearly blowing smoke from his seven orifices.

Old enemy! An old enemy always makes the eyes red with anger. Flame Ghost Venerable immediately recognized that Qin Yuesheng was the one who wiped them, the Great Ghost Venerables, out in Cyan Yang City that night.

If he hadn’t escaped quickly then, he would have suffered the same fate as the other Great Ghost Venerables.

Qin Yuesheng had no idea what Flame Ghost Venerable looked like after completing his transformation and didn’t recognize him.
