Chapter 485 - 8: Ambush (Part 2)
The voice first sounded astonished, then furious:
"I have already conceded, yet you still won’t let it go. You insist on pushing it to the extreme, it’s simply intolerable."
"Hmph!"
Li Shu snorted coldly:
"Old dog, throughout history, the victor is crowned king. Without slaying you, the people of Zhaonan Prefecture will not be at ease. Prepare to die!"
"Die?" Black Wind Ascendant roared angrily:
"I fear you lack the ability to kill me!"
The sound ceased.
Pitch-black sandstorm whirled out from the sedan chair, turning into ashes the moment it touched the mana-infused vines.
Bone-Eroding Soul-Devouring Wind!
Doomsday Earth Sand!
With the appearance of the sandstorm, an icy killing intent instantly spread throughout the area.
Even with Fang Zheng’s physical resilience, his skin felt a numbing sensation, unimaginable for others.
Ordinary Martial Artists blown by this cold wind would likely freeze on the spot, unable to move, easily slaughtered.
This thing...
So formidable!
Fang Zheng’s eyes narrowed in surprise.
He had always been confined to the small Gu’an County. Despite his considerable cultivation base, he lacked experience in confronting top-notch experts.
He had only seen various magical artifacts in the inheritance left by Master Jiuyuan; experiencing them personally was a first.
"Go!"
Black Wind Ascendant broke free from constraints, leaping out of the sedan chair, waving his hand to drive the sandstorm towards Li Shu.
"Black Wind Daoist."
Elder Mu’s voice rang out timely:
"Today your opponent is me!"
Before the words were finished, a flash of spiritual light flew from the darkness, falling straight into the sandstorm, which immediately halted and tumbled downwards.
"Wind Stabilizing Pearl!"
Black Wind Ascendant’s face changed drastically:
"You are indeed prepared!"
"Otherwise?" Elder Mu snorted coldly:
"To deal with you, I specifically borrowed this treasure. Without the sandstorm, let’s see what other magical treasures you have?"
"Hmph!"
Black Wind Ascendant retreated a step, muttering:
"Come out!"
"Bang!"
"Clang..."
The black sedan behind trembled suddenly, three black shadows leaped out, carrying ghostly white aura toward everyone.
What is that?
Fang Zheng’s skin tightened, feeling alarmed, he raised a hand fiercely to strike a Five-Thunder Palm across the air.
"Boom!"
The thunder light struck the attacking figure, yet their speed didn’t diminish, still attacking.
But it also allowed Fang Zheng to see who was coming.
"Zombie?"
"No!"
"It’s a Martial Artist practicing Corpse Technique!"
"Correct." The person grinned sinisterly:
"Tao Jing of Celestial Corpse Sect, please advise!"
Celestial Corpse Sect?
Flawless Martial Artist!
Fang Zheng’s expression turned grim.
Celestial Corpse, White Lotus, Seven Kills... all are among the Six Paths of Demon Heaven, known for their cunning techniques.
Just like the figure before him, not only a Flawless Martial Artist, but the True Qi practiced was corpse energy that eroded living beings.
Palm strike,
A foul stench, mixed with a fishy wind swept through, instantly withered the vitality of surrounding grass and insects, turning them into ’dry corpses’.
Ordinary Martial Artists could not even withstand long proximity, let alone confront him, resulting in dizziness and headache.
"Bang!"
"Bang Bang!"
The two exchanged a few moves, colliding back and forth. Amidst flashes of lightning and thunderous roars, Tao Jing slightly fell behind.
"Such a mighty Five-Thunder Palm!"
Retreating a step, Tao Jing’s face turned serious:
"Such pure Thunder Attribute True Qi."
The Power of Thunder was the nemesis of all sinister things, naturally including the corpse energy on him.
"You’re too kind."
Fang Zheng’s expression remained unchanged:
"You’re not bad either!"
Celestial Corpse Sect deservedly ranked among the Six Paths of Demon Heaven, the corpse energy cultivated was substantial, even the Five Thunders Hand struggled to disperse it.
"Let’s go again!"
With a low cry, Fang Zheng struck forward.
The Elemental Thunder Skill feared not Celestial Corpse Skill, instead restrained the opponent, seeing no adverse effects, he attacked boldly.
Five Thunders!
Fingers clenched inward, thunder pattern emerged on the palm, palm force lightly expelled, strikes of thunder shot from his hands.
Instantly,
Thunder roared loudly, forcing the opponent to tread carefully.
Meanwhile.
Three Flawless Martial Artists from Celestial Corpse Sect joined the battle, stalling others’ attacks.
Commandery Princess Li Shu wielded her spear, relentlessly suppressing a Celestial Corpse Sect Flawless Martial Artist.
Gang Leader Liu Sandao of Great Saber Gang faced another.
Others tangled in chaotic battle.
Overall, our side held the advantage, even Black Wind Ascendant was thoroughly suppressed by Elder Mu.
Victory,
Was only a matter of time.
"Swish!"
"Bang!"
Figures intersected, palms collided, Fang Zheng stepped back, the coloring of his face shifted, seemingly struggling.
In reality, his breath was stable, only puzzled.
Something’s wrong!
The situation was clear. Black Wind Ascendant’s side was defeated, why were they not trying to escape?
Instead, fighting to the death?
Claiming so many loyal individuals stand by Black Wind Ascendant, Fang Zheng would never believe.
Especially the experts from Celestial Corpse Sect, they were more likely allies, rather than subordinates of Black Wind Ascendant.
Logically,
Seeing the unfavorable situation, they should seek to escape, yet now attacking madly without fear.
Moreover...
The battlefield was gradually shrinking.
This should have been noticed by others too, but the opponents’ fierce attacks distracted them.
Only Fang Zheng,
Though appearing evenly matched, held back, observing the battlefield situation.
"Catch this!"
Tao Jing flew up, striking repeatedly with his palms, corpse energy condensed into a giant palm descending fiercely.
"Bang!"
The ground shook violently, but there was no figure below.
Fang Zheng appeared several meters away, glaring suspiciously at the fallen black sedan.
Unnoticed by all,
A figure appeared above the black sedan.
The person wore a large black cloak, a bizarre grey wolf mask, cradling a puppy.
"Qing..."
