Chapter 896: Chapter 366: ExecutionHis Yang Escape Technique complemented by the Sword Box ability almost rivals the speed of light—fast, but lacking in variation. However, this Yang Escape is not very suitable for combat, but is quite adept at evasion and pursuing enemies. As Chu Xisheng pursued at full speed, even the tunneling speed of a Third Grade Earth Evil Talisman couldn’t compete. In just moments, the distance between them shrank to within five li. At this moment, Chu Xisheng saw a massive cloud mist giant hand pressing down from above. That hand was at least fifty mu in size, and when it descended, it had the momentum to cover the sky and obscure the earth. Chu Xisheng knew that this must be the means of the Shen Kun Great Elder of Beiming Palace, who managed to spare some effort to assist the archers while fiercely battling Yan Guilai. Chu Xisheng was slightly surprised, glancing sideways to take a quick look, only to find the situation ahead had changed. Within that expanse of azure-blue mist, Yan Guilai was fighting one against three. Not only did he have to contend with the Shen Kun Great Elder and that enormous Whale Kun, but there was also an additional Third Grade martial cultivator nearby. This person also wielded formidable Thunder Martial Arts, teaming up with the Shen Kun Great Elder to battle Yan Guilai. Zong Sanping, Ren Xiaowo, Ye Zhiqiu, and Fang Bu Yuan, all flew out from the Bathing Sun Divine Ship. Each faced formidable enemies, with swords and blades clashing fiercely within the three-layered cloud sky. Only Bai Hanguang, due to his weak cultivation, remained in the Bathing Sun Divine Ship to steer. Chu Xisheng, through the azure-blue mist, saw Zong Sanping’s huge balance, also saw Fang Bu Yuan’s gold ingot and copper coin, and Ren Xiaowo’s Heaven Measuring Ruler — all manifestations of their Martial Intent. As for their opponents, they were either creatures of the Whale Peng faction or the overwhelming golden thunder. With just a glance, Chu Xisheng felt assured. Though Yan Guilai fought alone against three, he showed no signs of decline, while Zong Sanping and the others seemed at ease. Only the toxic cloud of the Shen Kun Great Elder forced them to exert immense Qi Power to resist. Chu Xisheng’s attention then fell on the archer. “Slash!” Three-Phases Sky Slaughter Blade — Killing the Heart! From five li away, Chu Xisheng delivered a blade strike straight to the archer’s Primordial Spirit Thought. Combining his powerful Vengeful Blade Intent with the Heaven Slaying Blade’s Extreme Move, he instantly shattered the archer’s Divine Soul, cutting into the depths of his Spiritual Sense. His face turned pale and blue as he fell unconscious, plummeting below the cloud sky. Chu Xisheng’s blade eradicated nearly a third of the archer’s Divine Soul, pushing his Primordial Spirit to the brink of collapse. At this time, the giant cloud mist hand pressed down further, temporarily forcing Chu Xisheng to retreat. The great hand then attempted to swiftly envelop the archer’s figure and leave. However, Chu Xisheng swiftly flashed forward, delivering a slash of Heaven and Earth Annihilation, forcibly tearing open a fissure in the cloud enveloping the archer. “He won’t escape!” Chu Xisheng had significant apprehension towards the Shen Kun Great Elder. His opponent was a Second Grade top master, capable of easily killing a Fourth Grade by sparing just a bit of focus and Qi Power. However, Chu Xisheng did not let go easily, abandoning the Yang Escape and becoming more cautious. He delivered another distant blade strike into the giant cloud hand, bombarding the archer, causing blood and flesh to scatter and shatter within. Once all fell silent within, Chu Xisheng switched direction, flying onward to the battlefield ahead. But just as he approached, the whole sky suddenly darkened, as though shrouded by a black curtain, the sun and sky disappeared from view. The surrounding cloud sky became pitch dark; not only was there zero visibility without light, but Chu Xisheng’s Divine Sense Thought was also cloaked and unable to extend. An instant passed in Chu Xisheng’s mind with a name: This was the First Grade Sky Gang Skill — Covering the Sky! His heart tensed, immediately arranging the twin blades across his front, while the Sword Box behind him opened once more, releasing the Nine Luminaries Divine Wheel Sword within. As Chu Xisheng concentrated and remained on guard, he heard the Shen Kun Great Elder’s sneer: “Let’s go!” With those words, the distant sounds of blade and sword clashing and aura collision rapidly faded. After about fifty breaths, the sky finally returned to normal. The black curtain covering the cloud sky quickly retreated, sunshine shone once more upon the land. Chu Xisheng looked forward to discover the mist had vanished completely. The Shen Kun Great Elder and the massive Whale Kun had also disappeared without a trace. Yan Guilai, holding a blade in one hand, stood tall above the cloud sky, surveying the surroundings with a cold, sharp gaze. Soon after, he let out a cold laugh, sheathing his blade, and turned his gaze towards Chu Xisheng. His face with rugged features, the temple bulged like giant horns, now squeezed a kind-hearted smile with overwhelming appreciation visible in his eyes: “Excellent sword skill! Excellent! Whether the Vengeance Blade or the Heaven Slaying Blade, you’ve started to understand their basics.” “This ‘Golden Peng Arrow’ Zhu Yuan, is a Holy Inheritor Disciple of Beiming Palace, a Fourth Grade cultivator, with exceptional archery, and led a Third Grade Golden Peng for assistance, a noteworthy figure in the Northern Lands. Yet this time he fell by your hands.” Having returned to the Bathing Sun Divine Ship, Ren Xiaowo glanced at this scene, doubtfully turning his gaze to Zong Sanping. — Is the man before him truly his Master Yan? The typically domineering, arrogant Yan Guilai? Zong Sanping calmly met Ren Xiaowo’s gaze. He thought, who besides Yan Guilai? The Great Elder Lu Shouyang of the Sect, as well as Ren Xiaowo’s master, Elder Aox Guo. Which of these commanding figures doesn’t treat Chu Xisheng with kindness?
