I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 58 - 53: Blood-Soaked Night on the Long Street (Part 2)
"What?!" Qin Yuesheng was shocked.
He had clearly caved in Shen Lang’s entire chest, how could such an injury still leave him alive?
Originally, Qin Yuesheng planned to pull back the Evil-Subduing Saber and chop off Shen Lang’s head to ensure nothing could go wrong.
Who would have thought the dramatic changes would happen so fast, catching everyone off guard.
The towering Shen Lang, grabbing a headless corpse, rose from the ground, his abnormal height alone exuding an invisible sense of oppression.
He looked like a giant, yet also like a bloodthirsty beast.
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
In front of everyone, Shen Lang devoured the entire corpse into his abdomen.
His physique visibly grew, becoming more robust and gigantic.
"Gulp!" Wei Zongze couldn’t help but swallow.
The situation before him had completely exceeded his imagination, and if not for wearing this official uniform, Wei Zongze would have already thought of fleeing.
Qin Yuesheng gripped the Evil-Subduing Saber, feeling no fear whatsoever.
If he could defeat this monster once, he could defeat him a second time. This time, he was determined to cut him into pieces and didn’t believe he could come back to life again.
Swoosh!
Without hesitation, Qin Yuesheng charged forward.
His saber slashed out like lightning, rapidly aiming towards Shen Lang’s face.
This strike pushed Qin Yuesheng’s body technique to its limits.
But then Shen Lang suddenly plunged his hand into his chest and drew out a long sword, transparent and with a blade made of blue crystal.
Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword!
Qin Yuesheng’s eyes narrowed. He had seen this treasured sword before; it appeared one night alongside the Celestial Demon within the Celestial Demon Heart Realm, but later the masked child hadn’t taken it out of the realm.
Qin Yuesheng assumed this sword had been lost inside there.
Yet now, the sword had appeared within this monster’s body...
Clang!
The Evil-Subduing Saber and Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword clashed. Both were extraordinary weapons, but all things in the world have ranks. The moment they met, their relative strengths became evident.
Instantly, the blade of the Evil-Subduing Saber was chipped into a small triangular notch, with countless cracks extending from the break.
Crack, crack, crack!
The white stone beneath Shen Lang’s feet fractured into a web-like pit from Qin Yuesheng’s force. Though the Evil-Subduing Saber was not a match for the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword, Qin Yuesheng’s power was real and formidable.
However, the power of the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword wasn’t so simple.
At the point of contact between the Evil-Subduing Saber and the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword, chunks of ice suddenly formed, with cold mist corroding the blade of the Evil-Subduing Saber.
Qin Yuesheng felt the handle drop in temperature by dozens of degrees in an instant, turning icy cold and bone-chilling.
His expression changed, and he quickly withdrew the saber and retreated. But Shen Lang had no intention of letting him leave so easily. With a wave of the sword, the cold mist transformed into ice snakes that roared and solidified into a straight path.
Wherever the ice snakes went, the ground froze in layers several fingers thick, with ice spikes violently erupting, creating a daunting spectacle.
Qin Yuesheng’s heightened spirit attribute allowed him to maintain a certain level of calmness under any circumstance. Seeing the ice snakes nearing, Qin Yuesheng gripped the saber tightly and employed the Sea One Slash blade skill.
Instantly, the True Qi within his Dantian circulated rapidly throughout his body. As Qin Yuesheng swung his saber, a blade aura flew out from the Evil-Subduing Saber.
Bang!
The blade aura collided with the ice snakes, instantly freezing into ice and subsequently shattered into pieces by the ice snakes.
The ice snakes, undeterred, continued their threatening advance towards Qin Yuesheng.
Knowing the ice snakes carried extremely low temperatures that even outer forging martial artists couldn’t withstand, for fear their bodies might freeze to death, Qin Yuesheng quickly leaped to evade the attack.
The ice snakes landed on the ground behind Qin Yuesheng, freezing the area into a pile of scattered ice blocks.
Before Qin Yuesheng could land, he was plunged into darkness, Shen Lang somehow appearing before him.
Bam!
A fist the size of a clay pot smashed Qin Yuesheng’s face, sending him crashing downwards like a meteor, breaking through the Jiang Mansion’s wall and landing on the street outside.
Wei Zongze clicked his tongue in secret. The transformed Shen Lang’s strength had evidently grown stronger than before, even Qin Yuesheng was no match for him.
If Shen Lang managed to escape, the citizens of Cyan Yang City would suffer, as ordinary people were mere ants before him, powerless to resist.
"Get me the net!" Wei Zongze ordered, receiving the woven net from a subordinate, immediately running towards Shen Lang.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Lying on the ground, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t stop coughing blood, his face aching to a near-numb state, with a burning sensation spreading from where Shen Lang had struck him.
This caused his eyes to sting, nose to tingle, tears uncontrollably streaming down his face—his body’s stress response.
Following closely, Shen Lang emerged from the Jiang Mansion, staring at Qin Yuesheng, lost in thought.
"Your scent... I recognize it. You also harmed me," Shen Lang murmured.
Struggling to rise, Qin Yuesheng uncertainly asked, "Are you Shen Lang?"
"I’ll kill you first! Then, I’ll kill him!"
Shen Lang suddenly charged, brandishing the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword. Although clearly lacking sword skills, his Celestial Demon-transformed physique, combined with the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword, made his attacks powerful enough without any technique.
Qin Yuesheng turned and fled, swiftly heading towards the Qin Mansion.
In battling a Divine Weapon, only another Divine Weapon would suffice. To defeat Shen Lang, he needed the power of the Celestial Demon.
Seeing his target escaping, Shen Lang furiously intended to catch up.
But suddenly, a shadow enveloped him, wrapping him tightly all over without a gap.
Shen Lang felt a force from behind tugging him, and with the net’s extreme toughness, even his strength couldn’t break free momentarily.
"Roar!"
Shen Lang turned back with a furious roar, seeing Wei Zongze holding tightly to the other end of the net, trying to prevent his advance.
With Qin Yuesheng getting further away, Shen Lang gave a mighty stomp, grabbed the net and yanked Wei Zongze over.
Poor Wei Zongze, with only outer forging and tendon-striking strength, was as weak as a chick before the demonized Shen Lang. Shen Lang swung the sword, cleaving both net and Wei Zongze in half.
Against such a Divine Weapon like the Cold Frost Winter Snow Sword, outer forging martial artists were insignificant.
Even in death, Wei Zongze’s face still bore a tight-lipped expression, with a crack running from his head to his crotch, splitting him in two. Blood didn’t even have time to flow out, instantly frozen into countless red ice chunks by the sword’s freezing power.
Bang! Bang!
Wei Zongze’s body fell to the ground in two halves, coating it with a layer of frost.
With Wei Zongze no longer a hindrance, Shen Lang tore off the tattered net from his body and pursued in the direction of Qin Yuesheng’s escape.
Unlike Qin Yuesheng’s rooftop leaps and contour hopping, Shen Lang barreled through in a straight line like an irrational rhino, smashing through anything in his path.
Every building and wall in his way was brutally cleared by his body.
If anyone were observing from the air, they would see a section of Cyan Yang City steadily collapsing.
Dust billowed, and the spectacle was astounding.
Every innocent citizen appearing in Shen Lang’s sight was sliced into human-shaped ice sculptures.
...
"Huff!"
Exhaling deeply, Qin Yuesheng saw the outline of the Qin Mansion appearing before him and sped up, rushing into the mansion and heading straight to his quarters.
He needed to hurry, to retrieve the Celestial Demon before Shen Lang arrived.
