Free Web NovelChapter 553: Chapter 505: Mortal Blow
The rune lock chain on her body continued to tighten, causing Jiang Yuebai to stumble in pain. Just as she was about to think of a way to break free, a chilling energy suddenly emanated from her spine, absorbing all the power from the rune lock chain.
Earlier, when she thrust out her spear, her power was clearly much weaker than before, yet she successfully broke Dongqiao’s third layer of protective gang qi.
She had weakened since she infused the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon’s shattered bones into her body.
Judging by the current situation, though her overall strength had diminished, the dragon qi within her spine granted her some devouring capabilities.
However, the absorbed power did not nurture her body, much like the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, which only absorbs but does not release.
Could it be that it hasn’t reached a critical point?
As Jiang Yuebai quickly pondered, a sudden scream echoed from afar, and immediately Bai Jiuyou flew straight towards Jiang Yuebai like a cannonball.
Jiang Yuebai hurriedly stepped forward to catch her, but upon touching Bai Jiuyou, the terrifying power on her body jolted into Jiang Yuebai’s organs, causing her to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, and together they fell into the deep pit below.
Boom!
The ground cracked, and debris flew everywhere.
Amidst the sky filled with smoke and ash, Jiang Yuebai was in severe pain, and her entire right arm, which had touched Bai Jiuyou, exploded. Everything below her right shoulder was a bloody mess as she lay in the deep pit.
However, the ground beneath was soft, so she wasn’t further injured.
Bai Jiuyou!
Jiang Yuebai quickly scrambled up, realizing that the moment they fell, Bai Jiuyou had deliberately swapped positions, cushioning the fall beneath her.
Bai Jiuyou grimaced in pain, her little face scrunched up, yet there were no visible wounds on her body.
Jiang Yuebai’s right shoulder quickly entwined with white vines, forming a new arm that pulled Bai Jiuyou out of the pit.
Bai Jiuyou, with a gloomy face, said, "He won’t kill me, but I can’t defeat him either."
Roar!!
An Azure Dragon’s shadow suddenly burst from Fuyu’s body, disappearing in a flash. The Little Qiu Dragon and Tree Dragon Hongye were mercilessly suppressed by Fuyu, and screamed as they fell from the sky, crashing hard behind Jiang Yuebai and Bai Jiuyou.
Tianyou’s face was as cold as water, standing mid-air. He discarded Bai Jiuyou’s shattered Dragon Tooth Hammer and crushed the black sand enveloping Dongqiao with a palm.
Dongqiao staggered and half-kneeled, a few Fire Dragon Small Swords stuck in his body, glaring angrily at Jiang Yuebai.
"I want to see how much ability you still have!"
Dongqiao, consumed with rage, released his aura and formed a complex web of three hundred and sixty-five thousand golden talismans that interlinked into small arrays, which further formed a great array. Ultimately, they transformed into a massive golden talisman dragon, with golden light surging and thunderous power, aggressively charging at Jiang Yuebai.
Simultaneously, Tianyou and Fuyu also took action.
The three Divinity Transformation cultivators worked together, sealing all escape routes for Jiang Yuebai and her companions, making battle the only option.
"I’ll handle this!"
Bai Jiuyou shouted, throwing herself against the most powerful True Venerable Tianyou.
Roar!
Tree Dragon Hongye and Little Qiu Dragon supported each other, dragging their injured bodies to face Fuyu head-on.
The Golden Dragon roared, and Jiang Yuebai raised her eyes, unwavering and fearless, clutching the White Dragon Spear and stepping forward.
Wandering Dragon Roar, Nine Consecutive Shots!
Two strong forces met in fierce combat, the Golden Dragon shattering inch by inch under Jiang Yuebai’s spear, while Jiang Yuebai’s body also gradually crumbled.
Golden light scattered, with an astonishing howl!
The golden light fully engulfed her vision, yet Jiang Yuebai, with stubborn courage, refused to retreat even in death!
Clang!
Zither sound suddenly appeared!
Pffft!
A blade pierced flesh, scattering golden light.
Jiang Yuebai’s broken and tattered arm clasped the cracked White Dragon Spear, raising her blood-stained face with pupils constricting.
Dongqiao, eyes wide with disbelief, continued to bleed from his mouth, pierced through the throat by a single spear!
Boom! Boom!
Two explosive blasts followed, creating a sweeping wave of air.
In the distance, True Venerable Tianyou’s half-body was smashed by Bai Jiuyou’s punch, blood gushing profusely, while Fuyu was likewise pierced through the torso by Little Qiu Dragon’s horn, coughing up blood continuously.
Everyone opened their eyes wide in shock, including the three who were healing from afar. They too were horrified, unconsciously leaping from the surface of the sea, staring dumbfounded at the battlefield.
Clang——
A faint and elusive zither sound came from somewhere, rising and falling, laden with an ancient, vast sensation, creating invisible winds that entwined Tianyou, Dongqiao, and Fuyu, imprisoning them.
Without this, Jiang Yuebai could never have pierced Dongqiao through the throat with one spear.
"Senior Sister Fuyu!"
From afar, Qiu Yun and Xuan Zhen hurriedly rushed to the gravely injured Fuyu, repelling Little Qiu Dragon, and retreating to feed her an elixir.
Old Man Taipu suffered the heaviest injuries, stumbling as he was supported by his two disciples, unable to reach Tianyou and Dongqiao immediately.
Tianyou, blood in his mouth, had only shredded flesh between his right shoulder. His eyes filled with red as he forced open the waves of sound imprisoning him.
Bai Jiuyou was blown away by that powerful force, while Tree Dragon Hongye shot swiftly to catch her in the air.
Jiang Yuebai did not know where the sound waves came from, or whether it was Qii Siheng, since he was the only Sound Cultivation she knew.
Earlier, he had triggered her Heart Demon, and now suddenly helped her. Exactly what was Qii Siheng up to?
At this moment, Jiang Yuebai could not afford many considerations. Her wrist sank as Taiyin and Sun Power charged forth like the wind, surging through the White Dragon Spear.
Dongqiao’s entire body shattered under the White Dragon Spear, leaving only a primordial spirit surrounded by golden light, which immediately attempted to escape rapidly after breaking free.
Jiang Yuebai’s eyes sharpened, waving her hand to unleash five spiritual artifacts, forming the Five Elements Formation. The formation light contracted to its limit, trapping Dongqiao’s primordial spirit within a square yard, as Five Elements Divine Light continuously struck inside, extinguishing the primordial spirit.
The primordial spirit isn’t as durable as a physical body, and Jiang Yuebai’s Five Elements Divine Light contained Taiyin and Sun Strength, holding immense destructive power against the primordial spirit of Divinity Transformation cultivators.
"Ahhh!!"
Dongqiao’s primordial spirit screamed miserably, Tianyou and Fuyu severely injured and unable to resist, were kept at bay by Bai Jiuyou and Little Qiu Dragon, without strength to assist.
"Too much bullying!"
Old Man Taipu, overwhelmed with extreme rage and hatred, erupted instantly, pushing aside his two disciples, channeling his entire power into a majestic Earth Dragon winding around his arm, and viciously roared, charging towards Jiang Yuebai’s back.
Jiang Yuebai concentrated fully on crushing Dongqiao’s primordial spirit, as Old Man Taipu’s lethal move was upon her in an instant.
"Watch out!"
Bai Jiuyou, Hongye, and Little Qiu Dragon raced with all their might towards Jiang Yuebai.
Roar!!
At that moment, a figure suddenly emerged behind Jiang Yuebai in mid-air.
The wind roared, and everything seemed to slow down.
Bai Jiuyou’s eyes widened in disbelief, Jiang Yuebai turned her head in shock, others too showed expressions of shock.
In mid-air stood a female cultivator in blue garments, pierced directly through her body by the Earth Dragon light shadow sent forth by Old Man Taipu and Little Qiu Dragon’s converged Wind and Thunder Blade, front and back.
Jing Chujun!
No one knew why she suddenly appeared, but at this moment, Jing Chujun cried in pain, her entire body irreversibly disintegrating into ashes in mid-air.
Jing Chujun realized at this moment that she had been deceived by Qii Siheng from the beginning. It was he who intentionally let her see that Demon Cultivator, captured that Demon Cultivator, and arranged the person who helped her escape.
All of this was calculated by Qii Siheng, every step planned, hearts discerned, all for this moment!
Old Man Taipu and Little Qiu Dragon were both at Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation. Each unleashed their full strength with Qii Siheng’s manipulation from the shadows. Jing Chujun had no chance of survival whatsoever.
Jiang Yuebai’s mind buzzed again as she heard the faint zither sound, following its direction, she lifted her gaze and saw Qii Siheng standing in the distance. Among so many people, none had noticed his presence.
Qii Siheng held a Memory Jade, his lips moved, then he looked deeply at Bai Jiuyou, smiled, and disappeared.
He said, "The fourth movement ends, the final movement is yours to compose!"
Bai Jiuyou suddenly experienced a splitting headache, and everyone was left stupefied in place, as everything that had just occurred exploded in their hearts like lightning.
Fuyu forced herself to stand, trembling all over, gazing at Jing Chujun who had turned to ash, unable to be grasped.
Old Man Taipu staggered back in disbelief. Jing Chujun died at the hands of Old Man Taipu and Little Qiu Dragon, equating to her dying at the hands of Fulong Sect and Biyou Palace.
Jing Chujun’s great-grandfather is an Integration Dao Lord of the True Martial Immortal Sect!
