Chapter 486 - 197: Cackling Rampage, Self-Detonation of the True Elixir!_1
Xiang Xiongshan’s face was ferocious, with black hair wildly flying above his head.
In his hand, a blood-red greatsword swung, and a sea of blood emerged.
The boundless sea of blood surged with a terrifying might, attacking the net of sword qi in the sky that shimmered with five-colored radiance.
"Boom!"
The collision between the sea of blood and the sword net instantly caused a loud explosion and dreadful waves of mana.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The waves of this impact swept in all directions, nearly shattering the house buildings and white jade stone slabs surrounding the Immortal City.
Even in the Immortal City, where buildings and floors were made from special materials,
they couldn’t possibly withstand the aftermath of a battle between Nascent Soul Immortals.
"Suppress!"
In just an instant, a majestic and profound voice rose.
Winds whipped up from all directions, and an invisible barrier formed, suppressing and calming the terrible afterwaves.
Heavenly Sword Sect dared to make a move within Jiuxiao Immortal City, naturally considering various aspects and not allowing the battle aftermath to spread wantonly.
Otherwise, such a battle at the Nascent Soul level would reduce even the Immortal City to ruins.
Moreover, there were countless cultivators inside the Immortal City.
If they allowed Nascent Soul Immortals to fight unrestrained, just the aftershocks alone could kill who knows how many Energy Refining Cultivators.
"Let’s go!"
Nangong Mili, upon seeing this scene, didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
Taking Meng Xiaochan with her, she commanded the Purple Jade Spider underneath to continue their assault toward the Immortal City’s main gate.
"Heh."
Yun Jianfeng witnessed the scene and let out a sneer.
He didn’t care about the fleeing Nangong Mili.
His Magical Sword in hand, he slashed forward, emitting a black Sword Qi.
An endless aura of eradication surged forth, aiming to kill the still struggling Xiang Xiongshan against the great net of Sword Qi.
If the opponent was seeking death on their own, he had no qualms about obliging them.
As for Nangong Mili and the others,
with The Celestial City Formation activated and fully sealed, these people were like turtles in a jar; he merely needed to defeat them one by one.
Should he demonstrate excessive power, causing these people to fall into despair, they might band together, or even wreak havoc in the Immortal City.
This was something he did not wish to see.
"Ha!"
Xiang Xiongshan, seeing the annihilating Sword Qi coming at him, his face darkened. True Elixir mana surged through his body, and a fearsome and powerful black armor materialized around him, his body emanating waves of ominous energy.
He took a deep breath, drawing in the air and Spiritual Energy from all around into his abdomen.
With a rumbling sound, his abdomen pulsed, and out of his nostrils spread two dragon-like breaths.
"Roar—"
Immediately afterward, rapid, violent, domineering, surging, and sharp breaths burst forth from his body.
This noise resembled the thunderous sound of thousands of troops in battle and countless fierce birds and beasts howling, an eruption like that of a volcano exploding, sweeping in all directions.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The hurricane rose abruptly, and the visible sound waves surged out from Xiang Xiongshan as the epicenter, laying waste in every direction.
Pavilions, terraces, shops, and storefronts collapsed under this impact.
And on the streets, many people within these shops turned pale with pain, some spewing fresh blood and bursting apart.
Xiang Xiongshan had become a Nascent Soul Immortal for a reason, he was certainly not foolish.
Knowing the situation was dire, he realized he had no chance against Yun Jianfeng and The Celestial City Formation.
Rather than wait for execution, he might as well act in this manner, preventing them from using their full strength against him, and buy Nangong Mili some time.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The might of The Celestial City Formation surged, and the cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect also formed their arrays, taking positions around, quelling this wave of sound and mana.
"Demon Head, you’re courting death!"
Yun Jianfeng, seeing this scene, glared fiercely, his expression turned grave. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the void, instantly appeared numerous black Sword Qi with a chilling killing intent and an aura of eradication.
The Sword Qi was dense and overwhelming, like a boundless ocean, racing towards Xiang Xiongshan.
Before this, he hadn’t used his full force against these people, thinking of it like a cat playing with a mouse.
He wanted them to see hope, to scatter like sand, each fleeing for their lives.
But now, Xiang Xiongshan’s actions had ignited a wave of anger in him.
"Humming—"
Xiang Xiongshan, seeing the unstoppable tide of Sword Qi breaking through the air and knowing he couldn’t avoid it, rapidly formed seals with his hands. His insides rumbled loudly as though a fierce beast was awakening.
The black armor on his body showed the phantom of a black Jiao snake, fierce and dreadful, coiling around him.
"Clang, clang, clang—"
The black Sword Qi arrived, striking the phantom black Jiao snake surrounding his body, causing sparks to fly and creating a symphony of clashing metals.
In the process, the solid Jiao snake phantom visibly weakened and dimmed.
The killing intent was like the wind, the Sword Qi like the tide, continuously relentless, pulsing back and forth.
"Myriad Manifestations!"
Xiang Xiongshan, enduring the endless Sword Qi, had a ferocious look, eyes spewing out black flames resembling glazing, and he roared loudly.
With the blood-red greatsword, he broke through the net of Sword Qi and slashed forward fiercely. His slash carried a domineering might, sweeping across heaven and earth with a boundless sea of blood, accompanied by ghostly wails and wolf howls.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The boundless sea of blood sought to tear through the tide of black Sword Qi.
But the black Sword Qi was inexhaustible and visible to the naked eye; it tore through the sea of blood.
"Suppress!"
At the same time, a tremendous voice resounded between heaven and earth.
Above the Immortal City, with the Great Formation’s five-colored radiance diffusing, a five-colored rainbow, akin to a celestial pillar, shot down at Xiang Xiongshan, its might astonishing.
Facing Yun Jianfeng’s offensive and already near his limit, Xiang Xiongshan’s expression instantly turned extremely grim.
With a fierce look, the mana surged within his body, and the phantom of the Jiao snake on his black armor raised its head to howl, rocketing towards the sky to charge at the pillar of light.
But the Jiao snake, already greatly weakened by the black Sword Qi attack, had its power damaged.
Confronted with the five-colored celestial pillar, it let out a mournful cry and disintegrated into ashes, shattering in the void.
