Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 202 - 194: Kill to Break Through the Tribulation! The Great Battle Resumes!
Using a Sub-Divine Power once will consume five percent of my True Essence reserves, while using a Divine Power will consume fifty percent.
After undergoing a transformation, the Sword Origin Water Lotus now has thirty-six sword petals, enough to sustain a battle.
If I am no match, I can sneak into the various mountain ranges or rivers and escape toward Luo City, determined to take down those four murderers even in death...
By the riverside reeds, Hong Yuan closed his eyes, sitting tranquilly on a rock, the Heavenly River Sword resting on his knees.
The river breeze was moist, rustling through his blue robe.
Feeling the increasingly heavy sense of foreboding in his heart, Hong Yuan showed no hint of alarm or doubt on his face; instead, he wore a calm demeanor.
Of course, Hong Yuan was calm; this was merely an Incarnation, not his Original Body.
A quarter of an hour later, Hong Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them, while the Heavenly River Sword also emitted a restless, trembling sound.
"They’re here!"
Hong Yuan raised his head to the sky, observing the arriving guests.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed, and fierce winds howled.
Accompanied by deafening war drums and battle cries that shook the heavens, a series of Cloud Boats sliced through the air.
They circled around Hong Yuan, quickly enveloping him.
Beside each Cloud Boat, black-armored knights on flying Ferocious Beasts stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Green Wind Roc Legion, the Golden Arrow Gryphon Legion, the Chase Wind Eagle Legion... The sky had turned into a kaleidoscope of colors.
When numbers exceed ten thousand, they appear boundless. The arrivals had indeed reached tens of thousands!
"You certainly don’t underestimate me," Hong Yuan said, standing tall, the wild wind whipping his face, his long hair dancing freely.
Suddenly, Hong Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and a pleased smile appeared on his face. "Ye Xunwen, Cheng Hu, Mo Fei Zhi, and Li Zixing... this must be Heaven aiding me. HAHAHA!"
Even facing a life-and-death crisis, Hong Yuan remained cheerful and fearless, bursting into loud laughter.
His actions caused Li Zixing and the other disciples of Qinglu Taoist Temple to clench their teeth tightly, flames seemingly flickering in their eyes.
"Scourge, you dare to be so brazen with death imminent!"
"Blood Demon Sword, surrender without a struggle, and I will grant you a swift death!"
"Blood Demon Sword, you damned fiend! To cultivate your demonic arts, you have slain tens of thousands. Your sins are grievous and unforgivable, too numerous to record!"
"..."
Faced with the chorus of accusations from the multitude, Hong Yuan remained composed, his expression unchanging.
Zhuge Chou saw that Hong Yuan remained as calm as still water, unperturbed, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Strike now," Li Ziyang, a True Transmission of Qinglu, said indifferently.
Behind him, his officers either raised battle flags or beat on large drums.
The Ferocious Beasts roared in response, launching their attacks in unison.
The next moment, a torrent of arrows was unleashed, and countless beams of Essence Qi light surged toward Hong Yuan.
Naturally, Hong Yuan wouldn’t let them have their way. He immediately swung the Heavenly River Sword, activating the Sub-Divine Power, Sword Qi Thunder Sound.
Wave after wave of massive white fluctuations swept out from Hong Yuan’s swing. The white waves clashed with the beams of Essence Qi light, swallowing them before surging back toward the Beast Swarm and the flotilla of Cloud Boats.
"Hmph, not bad," Li Ziyang snorted lightly. With a squeeze of his hand toward the white fluctuations, a gust of wind arose and quelled them.
When one move failed, they switched to another. Zhuge Chou waved the commander’s flag, issuing commands.
Blood Tao and Array Tao death move—Nine Transformations of the Dragon Son!
The next moment, streams of blood energy burst forth from the Qinglu Warriors and the Beast Swarm. This energy converged in the sky, forming a blood-red expanse that oppressed an area for tens of miles.
"ROAR!" "BELLOW!" "SHRIEK!"
Nine different roars thundered from the blood-red heavens. Subsequently, nine distinct and colossal Blood Beasts made their appearance.
Prison Ox, Yazi, Mocking Wind...
Each Blood Beast possessed the might of a peak Fifth Tier!
"The ferocity of the Blood Beasts could slay a peak Fifth-Tier expert!"
With all nine beasts unleashed, streaks of blood-colored lightning flashed and thunder shook the heavens. The area became swathed in a blood mist.
Sword Tao Sub-Divine Power—Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow!
Hong Yuan moved with wide, powerful swings and agile maneuvers among the nine beasts, ceaselessly slaying one after another.
The sky seemed to pour down a rain of blood, staining the once-clear Yunze Lake crimson.
But the blood energy seemed inexhaustible. As the Prison Ox fell, Yazi would emerge, and Blood Beasts were everywhere.
"Formation..." Hong Yuan’s gaze turned fiercely toward the Beast Swarm around the Cloud Boats. "Break for me!"
Hong Yuan wielded his sword and pivoted. He unleashed a boundless Sword Origin that shattered all Blood Beasts in the blink of an eye, their aura ferocious and imposing.
Ye Xunwen, Cheng Hu, and the others felt their spirits seize, a chill shooting up their spines.
"Cease your rampage!" Li Ziyang bellowed, his hands forming seals as an ancient ’Wind’ character leaped from his fingertips. "Go!"
A howling gale burst forth, forming a solid wall of wind that blocked Hong Yuan’s boundless Sword Origin.
Li Ziyang was a True Transmission of Qinglu and possessed unmatched Taoist techniques. If he hadn’t still been working to reach the peak of the "Nine Characters Taoist Scripture," he would have already initiated the Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation to strike towards the Martial Saint Stage.
"’Incredible! This Blood Demon Sword can actually contend with Senior Brother to some extent!’ exclaimed the Qinglu disciples.
"’Zhuge Elder, help me lock down the Formation,’ Li Ziyang whispered. With a forceful step, he flew out of the Cloud Boat toward Hong Yuan.
Talisman Tao Sub-Divine Power—Heaven-and-Earth Prison Cage.
One ancient character after another flew out. They converged into a four-sided torrent, slowly closing in like a Heaven-and-Earth Prison Cage to imprison Hong Yuan within.
Seeing this, Zhuge Chou immediately lent his assistance.
Nine Blood Beasts were reborn from the blood-red heavens, carrying thousands of blood-red bolts of lightning to crash down on Hong Yuan.
HUM!
Just as the prison cage was about to close, the Heavenly River Sword let out an intense, uneasy cry.
Hong Yuan swung his longsword, discharging endless Sword Intent.
Sword Intent Transforming into Brilliance, then into spirit snakes, then into great forest pythons.
These Sword-light Spirit Snakes and Sword-light Forest Pythons were terrifying beyond measure, seeming as if they could overturn heaven and earth.
Li Ziyang’s heart tightened. Another Sub-Divine Power strike! The opponent’s strength is already approaching mine!
Could he be one of the nine from Phoenix Creek Tutelage...?
The void shook, and the Blood Beasts disintegrated upon contact. Sword Intent clashed with the ancient characters, unleashing dreadful ripples. The Heaven-and-Earth Prison Cage continued to shrink, but Hong Yuan had already used his Sword Intent to escape the predicament.
The faces of the onlookers changed drastically. The Blood Demon Sword’s strength might truly rival Li Ziyang’s; at least for now, they seemed evenly matched.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The two figures clashed, longsword meeting stone seal repeatedly. The resulting shockwaves evaporated the lake and spawned frequent whirlwinds.
After a moment, the two separated, each occupying a section of the void, facing each other from a distance.
"Who exactly are you?!" Li Ziyang demanded gravely.
Due to the fierce battle, Hong Yuan could no longer maintain his disguise, revealing Bo Qing’s visage.
Hong Yuan surveyed his surroundings, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.
If I’m not mistaken, the Talisman Tao Martial Artist I’ve been trading blows with is none other than Li Ziyang, one of the nine Qinglu True Transmissions.
In other words, my strength has truly reached the level of a True Transmission Disciple.
"Who am I?" Hong Yuan’s gaze quickly swept below.
He saw the Cloud Boats, the Ferocious Beasts everywhere, and the desolate ruins of the dried-up lake.
A vicious laugh escaped his lips. "Next, I’ll slaughter every Qinglu disciple and Warrior present! If you can stop me, I will gladly tell you who I am!"
