How strong is this sword strike?
On the End of the World Platform, it cut through the cultivator Qin Zhizhen from Tianfu!
Now Jiang Wang himself has become Tianfu, with the brilliance of the Five Mansions together, this sword falls like a mountain, creating a situation where heaven and earth are overturned.
Neither Huan Tao nor Yanzi is willing to withstand it head-on.
Even though they are both in the External Building Environment, and renowned strong figures within it!
So they can only retreat.
Before the sword tip collided with the spear tip, Huan Tao had already begun to fly back.
It was as if he had already been hit, unable to bear its might, and the whole person fell backward.
While falling back, the iron spear in his hand swung upwards, tracing a half-arc.
The arc light was like a crescent moon, like a curved blade, facing Jiang Wang and seemingly aiming to dissect his heart.
But in truth, it couldn’t even get close to Jiang Wang.
It didn’t need to be close!
This spear arc, its strength wasn’t in sharpness, nor in killing intent, but in its disruption of the "momentum"!
This upward counter-thrust, which looked so simple, was actually the "Nineteen Arc Technique" that once instilled fear in the cultivators of the world by Mo Gate.
Mo Gate, known for their mechanical puppets dominating the world, made puppet warriors that could confront true cultivators head-on.
The "Mo Warrior" series was a typical example of this.
But puppet warriors are ultimately different from real cultivators.
Driven by Dao Yuan Stone, they can compare to Path Origin. The engraved moves infused into the puppet’s instincts are not inferior to the techniques of ordinary cultivators.
However, "momentum" and "intention," such spiritual forces, are something that puppets cannot manifest.
At least not before Mo Gate developed the God Return Crystal. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Before the era of the God Return Crystal, Mo Gate resolved this issue with the "Nineteen Arc Technique."
This move, painstakingly created by top experts of Mo Gate, is famed as "using skill to break momentum."
The so-called "Nineteen Arc Technique" is an unparalleled combat skill that solves various "momentums" under nineteen basic situations and countless variations derived therefrom.
When this skill was revealed, the world was astonished.
Mo Gate’s puppet warriors leaped a step forward.
Even in today’s age of the God Return Crystal, it remains an untransmitted mystery of Mo Gate.
To master the Nineteen Arc Technique, Huan Tao’s identity before becoming a Human Demon was surely not simple!
Jiang Wang’s sword, meant to consolidate momentum and intention, blending spirit, energy, and essence all into one sword, leaving no room for avoidance.
Yet when faced with this spear arc, it pierced through that inevitable momentum, breaking out a space for evasion.
This is called "breaking momentum."
And Huan Tao himself, after tracing this spear arc, smoothly retracted the iron spear, turning it back into that iron rod-like heavy sword.
As the heavy sword was restored, he also straightened, holding the sword, and executed two slashes in mid-air, producing two intersecting sword arcs.
Again, it’s the Nineteen Arc Technique!
Intersecting in mid-air, seemingly intending to completely tear apart that mountain-falling sword.
But this was just to block the enemy.
He himself suddenly accelerated, retreating into Stone Chaos Valley in an instant.
This burly man, known as the Decapitating Human Demon, seemed so strong and clumsy, but his speed was astonishing.
And Jiang Wang faced this spear arc and sword arc, advancing boldly!
The Nineteen Arc Technique indeed has the function of breaking momentum with skill, but even it is inadequate against his mountain-falling sword.
After all, techniques are just techniques, people are people.
The Nineteen Arc Technique can break the momentum of the world, but Huan Tao may not be able to break Jiang Wang!
This is why Jiang Wang advances and Huan Tao retreats.
Among the Nine Great Demon Men, Huan Tao ranks sixth. As for Yanzi, the Masked Demon ranked fifth, of course, she wouldn’t just retreat.
She withdrew even before Huan Tao, and while retreating, reached out with a hand stroke.
Hundreds of red-eyed flying swallows emerged from the sheer cliffs on both sides, flickering with red light in their eyes, like ghost fires spread across the sky.
These flames shook the spirit and entangled the mind... Corrodes the human heart.
The shape of the flying swallows is merely a deceptive appearance, the core of this secret technique is actually the red light in those swallow eyes.
The true name of this technique is "Heart Captivating Lamp."
One lamp to light the way, a thousand lamps to dazzle the eyes, ten thousand lamps to capture the heart.
This is an advanced-grade secret technique.
The Masked Demon used this technique to kill over a hundred Outer Tower Cultivators!
Once the Heart Captivating Lamp was unleashed, even Huan Tao retreated more urgently, unwilling to be contaminated.
But Jiang Wang, rushing forward with his sword, had only an unyielding golden glint in his eyes.
Eternally immortal, eternally steadfast.
No external evil can sway my heart!
With the red light flickering around him, Jiang Wang remained calm and unharmed.
How could the Heart Captivating Lamp shake a steadfast heart?
Yanzi’s eyes flashed with a shade of apprehension, but she and Huan Tao had already retreated into Stone Chaos Valley, one after the other.
Jiang Wang was not willing to let go, pursuing with his sword driving forward. Alone with his sword, he chased the two External Building Environment human demons through the long canyon, his momentum like a rainbow, determined to keep pressing on!
As the three of them advanced one after the other, rushing into Stone Chaos Valley, rumble!
The strange and abrupt boulders started moving.
They clearly moved very slowly, with very slight shifts, like moving two inches to the left and three inches to the right.
Yet in an instant, clouds and fog surged in the entire Stone Chaos Valley, turning the world upside down!
Yanzi, Huan Tao, Jiang Wang, all lost their targets!
...
...
Meanwhile, in that cavern, the Diviner stepped out to create a formation using the stone pillar as a ring, aiming to trap Yu Beidou and target him with possible means.
Yu Beidou’s goal was not to kill Liu Huai or just a mere blood demon puppet, but to "kill" the Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill!
The true entity entangled in conflict with him was never Liu Huai’s body but that ancient beast skin book.
It was knowing this that encouraged the Diviner, who usually scurried away upon hearing of Yu Beidou from a thousand miles away, to dare seek him out now.
Currently, Yu Beidou found himself in a bind, and the Diviner was about to transform into a fisherman, profiting from the mutual confrontation.
This was a scenario he was most satisfied with, using Jiang Wang as bait and the blood demon for performance.
The timing was perfect, with heaven, earth, and humanity in accord!
From beginning to end, he never directly targeted Yu Beidou, because given the gap in cultivation and divination skill, targeting Yu Beidou would inevitably lead to detection.
Fortunately, he knew Yu Beidou would seek him out. Fortunately, while setting up formations in Rong Country, he chanced upon a blood demon. Fortunately, Yu Beidou chose to eliminate the blood demon first!
If Yu Beidou merely aimed to kill a puppet, it wouldn’t matter. But to obliterate the Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill, even temporarily suppressing it for a millennium, required tracing the blood demon’s origin... This created the current situation, where the blood demon had been losing blood for three centuries, and Yu Beidou was ensnared by it, unable to move!
A beautifully crafted setup, with nothing dispensable.
This is masterful!
"Zheng Lao San, Li Lao Si," the Diviner stated calmly, "Prepare to act."
Once Yanzi and Huan Tao engaged, he was already aware of the developments.
He told Zheng Fei and Li Shou to wait for either Jiang Wang or Jiang Wang’s corpse, but that was merely for Yu Beidou’s ears, to mislead him.
He wasn’t truly going to wait that long!
He just needed confirmation that Jiang Wang hadn’t yet mastered the formation in Stone Chaos Valley or acquired the ability to alter the situation, and that was enough!
But Zheng Fei seemed to truly believe...
Unhappily, he said, "Aren’t we waiting for the toy?"
Li Shou eagerly asked, "Why aren’t we waiting anymore?"
Without waiting for the Diviner to explain.
Yu Beidou, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, already turned his head to ask, "In such a hurry?"
The Diviner smiled indifferently, "Killing a tiger requires urgency..."
He froze!
Cold sweat dripped down.
The previously immobile Yu Beidou had actually turned his head!
Yu Beidou looked at him, laughing heartily, "Dear nephew, don’t panic."
After laughing, he lightly exhaled.
Suddenly, a fierce wind surged, sweeping through the cavern, unexpectedly blowing the unprepared Zheng Fei and Li Shou out of the cavern and into Stone Chaos Valley!
