Devour

Chapter 379 Guardian Knight

After clearing the incoming attack, Tan Gong clenched his electric sword and pointed it at the enemy, his eyes wide with anger and his voice boomed like thunder: "The Free and Easy Spiritual Sword Art is of the Wu Yuan Neng Pin level, while my 'Wind and Thunder Destroying World Sword Art' is of the Wu Yuan Miao Pin level, which definitely outclasses you! A mere sword cultivator who dares to challenge you will undoubtedly lose!"

He pinched his fingers to make a magic formula, and one after another, the wooden soul lightning blade light streaked across the sky like a dragon across the sky, slashing straight at Master Li from afar, as if it was about to tear the entire sky apart.

"With the Confucian scholars here, you can't destroy the world." Master Li showed no fear at all. With a thought, he controlled his Qi and turned it into a sword that danced and flew through the sky.

Countless swords intertwined in the air, forming a vast sea of ​​swords, covering the sky like clouds and fog. The lightning that attacked was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing in an instant without a trace.

"My skills are also better than your Tianchi magic skills!" Tan Gong used the Great Sun True Fire Yin Cathode Power to further enhance the electrical energy.

But as soon as the tip of the Wood Soul Thunder Blade tore open a gap in the sea of ​​swords, more sword energy immediately rushed in to fill it tightly and perfectly, just like an endless sea floating in the sky that was as soft as water, solid as gold, and sharp as frost.

"The nerd's skills are even deeper than mine. The martial arts he learned are eclectic and integrated into the sword art, which is unpredictable and extremely difficult to deal with!" Tan Gong rushed left and right to try to break through the numerous blockades of the sea of ​​swords, but the Wood Soul Lightning Sword could not reach beyond a radius of several miles, and could not even reach the spirit boat formation watching the battle.

"This guy is a powerful figure among sword cultivators. It seems that his sword power is inexhaustible and increases instead of decreasing. But you can't do anything to me. Watch out!" Tan Gong roared angrily, and the electric light all over his body condensed together to produce amazing changes.

"Fateful thundercloud form!" Tan Gong changed at will and merged with the wood soul's lightning and light into one, expanding and becoming bigger again and again, forming a continuous and vast thundercloud.

The celestial wonders were like a field of strange visions, with thousands of electric lights flowing around it. On the surface, the jade-green face of Tan Gong appeared, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

I saw dark green clouds stretching for more than three thousand miles, rumbling and shaking the earth. The sound was so powerful that it seemed like a thunderstorm had arrived, covering the sky and making people feel awe.

"He's advanced his Wood Soul Thunder Secret Art once." Master Li nodded slightly in recognition of his outstanding performance. "This kind of talent, when cultivated into a divine form, is called the 'Great Demonic Form.' It possesses immense advantages in the use of various spells, far surpassing the Lesser Demonic Forms in Shanhui City."

Despite his praise, Master Li deliberately mocked him on the battlefield: "The Sun Chaser God abandoned his human form and transformed into the Five Elements, truly leaving many sword cultivators helpless."

Tan Gong laughed wildly and said, "You useless bookworm, playing with a mere sword energy is just a kinetic attack. What can it do to me? Today, I will make sure that you and the fleet of spirit boats behind you perish without a burial place!"

Thunderclouds rolled violently, lightning slithered like serpents of jade, crackling and exploding. Wherever Mr. Tan moved, a raging storm swept through, scattering the surrounding sword energy. Thousands of lightning blades blazed in a volley, slaying everything they touched, like the source of world destruction.

Master Li calmly dodged the incoming lightning, continuing his instruction earnestly: "In the final analysis, you are a cultivator of magic, not swordsmanship. You rely on your magical prowess to intimidate others. As for the Wind and Thunder World-Destroying Sword Art, it's just a superficial technique. You haven't grasped the essence of the sword path at all. Your so-called rank has been wasted in vain."

"There's no point in distinguishing between magic cultivators and sword cultivators. Killing you is enough!" Tan Gong refused to listen. His roar echoed through the sky like thunder. His magnificent body moved at an astonishing speed. He was so arrogant that he vowed to tear the entire continent apart.

Master Li calmly chanted his magic formulas and unleashed his sword moves, muttering something with magical power: "Open the heavens, forge a path, and slay the immortals!"

Billions of sword energies converged like a rushing sea, piercing the dense clouds high above with overwhelming force. A dazzling golden light shone through the shattered sky, like a brilliant beam cast by the rising sun, or like an incomparably sharp holy sword towering over all creation.

The light was filled with a vast and holy aura, as if it came from the Nine Heavens Immortal Saint. It carried with it countless sword energies and condensed into substance, truly transforming into a towering giant sword, emitting terrifying pressure and piercing straight into the endless thunderclouds.

"The Xiaoyao Spirit Sword kills gods and demons, break it for me!" Master Li's clear and melodious voice resounded through the clouds, as if it could penetrate the sky and reach beyond.

The expression on Tan Gong's face, emerging from the clouds, changed drastically. He said in horror, "He has reached the seventh level of despair, vaguely beyond the reach of mana. He even borrowed immortal power to slay gods and demons... He is of the gold element, specifically designed to restrain wood-element wind and thunder!"

The sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds rolled in. A massive, golden sword pierced through the thunderclouds in an instant, like tearing a piece of cloth, sending tiny flashes of lightning scattering in all directions.

Tan Gong's face was distorted, full of pain and hideousness, and he let out a terrible scream like the wailing of an evil ghost: "Woo wa wa wa wa ..."

The sound of thunder pierced through the clouds and cracked the rocks, shaking the heavens and the earth. The clouds were in disarray and lost their support, flying away!

……

On the other side of the spiritual boat, Ningxiang's cultivation reached perfection, and the vision of reversing the universe was put away. The brilliance faded, and where Nie Ziqiong's body had been, only a set of black-gold battle armor, a black-gold crown with pheasant feathers, and other scattered ornaments remained, as if his flesh and blood had evaporated without a trace.

Jinlian bowed and congratulated, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for successfully obtaining one of the Five Elements Sacred Body bloodlines. This has brought you great luck and brought you a significant step closer to achieving enlightenment!"

Ningxiang looked down at her hands with delight, sensing the subtle changes, and exclaimed in amazement, "It's so easy to break through! And I think my aptitude has improved a bit, too."

She raised her head, her gaze falling on Cheng Bai, who looked stunned, and whispered softly, "Don't worry... This method only works for the bloodline of the Emperor's son, it won't work for anyone else."

Cheng Bai was speechless, muttering to himself, "I haven't said anything yet, why would you worry about this? Could it be that the princes will seize each other's bloodline luck, and only the one who survives will become the Great Emperor?"

Yao Yingying, however, was worried about potential trouble and asked, "Uh... Nie Ziqiong's sudden disappearance is no small matter. Have you thought of a way to deal with it?"

Zixuan chuckled and encouraged, "To put it bluntly, it's not difficult to resolve. Queen Yao originally came here to fight, and now it's her job to wipe out all the forces related to Nie Ziqiong."

Yao Yingying narrowed her beautiful eyes, revealing a look of disdain as she said, "We just finished negotiating peace, and now you're turning against us and killing us all? Do I look like someone who's fickle?"

This change of attitude was faster than turning the pages of a book, it was like child's play. Cheng Bai carefully considered it and quickly interrupted, "There is another way. Since we have already seized the fortune of the Ksitigarbha Emperor's son, if we can also bring the Slaughtering Society under our wing, it would undoubtedly be the most ideal outcome."

Yao Yingying's eyes rolled around, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a sly smile, "Maybe we don't have to do anything, and things will resolve themselves. I sense that Tianning Village is very unstable, and the enemies are making a terrible fuss."

Cheng Bai's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Phoenix Force also sensed unusual changes within the village. He quickly rushed to the observation deck, surveying the situation from afar.

Lightning and thunder were faintly visible amidst the misty clouds above. The battle between the two saints was still undecided. Meanwhile, smoke billowed from the village below, and the battle intensified.

Cheng Bai focused his spiritual eyes to look down and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "What are those things?"

Strange four-legged creatures crawled all over the ground, their swift movement reminiscent of spiders, but much more agile.

They stood over eight meters tall, their bodies round and regular. Seen from all sides, each one had a nearly identical round body and long legs. Reflecting sunlight, they shone with a dazzling golden brilliance, indicating that their material was gold crystal carbon.

"These are the Sun Chaser's Guardian Knights. They're a higher-ranking unit than the Seven-Colored Diamonds and are used to reinforce the Arcane Legion and air defense forces," Li Tong explained while speaking to Cheng Bai. "Hey... look over there! Di Xuan has hidden a small Netherworld shuttle and successfully escaped the underworld."

Looking at the location of the small house at the foot of the mountain, the building had collapsed and shattered. Amidst the ruins, a massive hexagonal light gate rose high from the floor to mid-air. Inside, it seemed to be a passage to another world, and a large group of world-guarding knights were rushing out one after another.

Faced with a powerful enemy, Tu Minhui would naturally not sit and wait for death.

"Everyone, don't go head-on into battle. Follow me and fight while you retreat!" Min Wushuang felt the pressure and let out a long roar. The Great Thousand Dragon Crown in his hand danced with the sword light, and he led the villagers to fight the attack desperately.

The Guardian Knights appear to have legs but no arms, but the all-round rotating shadow force turrets on top flash dark purple flames, and can shape various energy weapons such as whips, axes, swords, shields, etc. according to the needs of the enemy. The changes in attack and defense at long distances and near distances are bizarre, and they can move unexpectedly on the battlefield.
