Dust rose into the air as a giant of more than four ters stood up, so tall that both i Huaping and Mad Sword ng had to raise their heads to look.
i Huaping’s vision was severely damaged such that he couldn’t see clearly, but Mad Sword ng’s eyes were working properly, and he saw that the giant’s face was extrely similar to Tang Jie’s. He cried out in shock, “What’s going on here?”
But Tang Jie was no longer interested in talking with him.
He had been talking before to buy ti for the original body to lay down the formation, and now that the original body was back, it was ti to speedily end this battle. Otherwise, one of them might escape, or a passerby might discover his secret of two bodies sharing one soul, which would be a real problem.
As the original body appeared, the avatar waved his hand, and a long-handled warhamr flew out of the Mustard Seed Bag toward the original body.
The warhamr was around five ters long and as thick as a large bowl. The hamrhead alone was the size of a millstone. A normal person holding it would seem like a child holding a giant axe, not even able to lift it up, let alone fight with it. But it was perfect for the original body’s four-ter-tall figure.
Tang Jie had spent a great deal of money to have this art relic forged for his original body. It was made from tough tals, all the seals had the single purpose of toughening the weapon, and it weighed a hundred tons. The weapon alone had cost more than a hundred thousand spirit coins, taking up a third of the money Tang Jie had gotten from selling off the materials for the Jade Gate Heaven Seal Formation. As for armor, Tang Jie hadn’t gotten any, as it might affect his ability to move around.
The original body grabbed the warhamr and swung it at ng and i.
The two of them reacted quickly by jumping to the sides. The giant hamrhead brushed past them and slamd into the ground with a powerful shockwave.
This enormous force was comparable to nurous exquisite spell arts. The site of the impact now played host to a crater ten-so ters deep.
As the shockwave swept out, a halo appeared beneath i Huaping’s feet, extending outward with a silver glow.
A Spirit Ring!
Every Celestial Heart True Person had one, and it was a manifestation of their spirit power leaking outward. But the vast majority of Celestial Heart True Persons had very faint Spirit Rings that were barely discernible. Shi Jingzhai and the others had also had them, but they were so faint as to be invisible.
As the Spirit Ring erged, i Huaping waved the brush in his right hand and then jabbed at the air, shouting, “The brush stirs the autumn winds!”
With a stroke of his brush, a gale erupted, creating a vortex that swept up him and Mad Sword ng and blocked the shockwave.
Mad Sword ng bellowed as his sword unleashed a large wave of sword energy: “Heaven Absolute Sword Energy!”
A rain of swords engulfed Tang Jie’s original body, but he simply covered his face with his left hand and ignored the rest of the attacks. The sharp wave of swords collided with him in a great clatter and a shower of sparks, like it was striking a man made of tal.
“How is this possible?” Mad Sword ng was stunned.
His Heaven Absolute Sword Energy was of such ferocity that the barriers of ordinary cultivators couldn’t last against it. But this giant had blocked it with his physical body. All the storm of swords had done was leave several hundred white marks on him, and with his formidable regeneration, these marks quickly faded.
Tang Jie smirked. “That just shows how little you’ve seen of the world!”
He had even endured the Southern Divine Fire, so what was a little sword rain?
As he spoke, he raised the warhamr again, sending it howling at i Huaping’s waist. The hamrhead was so big that it would smash more than half of his body into a pulp.
i Huaping raised his brush again. “Follow the wind into my canvas!”
As he raised his brush, space seed to freeze. Tang Jie’s charging figure beca immobile, and his surroundings filled with dazzling colors. As these colors flashed, they gradually ford into a plane.
In this plane, Tang Jie’s arm expanded as if it was being imprinted into a painting. In a bizarre sensation, the flowing lights made Tang Jie’s body spin in the air.
This “Follow the wind into my canvas” was an Immortal spell that i Huaping had spent many years trying to comprehend. It was like Tang Jie’s Heavenly Cloud Blade, though it was many tis more profound. It managed to tightly bind Tang Jie’s body in a canvas.
i Huaping laughed. “No matter how strong you are, in my…”
Before he could finish bragging, that canvas in the air started to crack apart, creating a spiderweb of fractures in the air.
The spiderweb grew larger and larger, and finally, with one last pop, it completely shattered into countless streams of light.
The giant crashed down from the sky, swinging the long warhamr at i Huaping.
If this hit struck true, even a Celestial Heart True Person would be turned into a pancake.
i Huaping rapidly backed away while waving around his brush. He had no ti to cast any spell arts, simply making strokes, and with each stroke of his brush, he created spatial ripples.
Tang Jie was like a mad bull, charging headlong into the spatial ripples, which left bloody streaks across his body. Mad Sword ng’s Heaven Absolute Sword Energy hadn’t been able to hurt him, yet these casual brush strokes had drawn blood.
But Tang Jie didn’t care at all. As a body refiner, no matter what the ultimate outco was, in a battle, he always needed to be on the offense. If he couldn’t even do that, then there simply wasn’t a point in fighting.
A minor pain like this couldn’t make him back down. On the contrary, they stimulated his nerves, and he brazenly laughed, “Too weak!”
His voice rumbled like thunder, and as Tang Jie charged and swung his warhamr around, it created a furious gale that made it impossible for i Huaping to stand straight.
At the sa ti, Tang Jie grabbed a giant rock and tossed it at i Huaping. This rock was a powerful weapon in his hand, and even though i Huaping was a Celestial Heart True Person, the impact of the rock smashing into him made him throw up blood as he was sent flying into the air.
On the side, Mad Sword ng rushed up in panic and thrust his sword at Tang Jie’s back.
For an ordinary disciple or student, this sword would appear to have co out of nowhere, subli to the extre while losing nothing in power.
But this subli and powerful attack was barely even worth considering for the original body. He let the sword stab into the muscles on his back, and it was only able to get three inches deep. He smirked and said, “A re bee sting.”
This mighty attack was nothing more than a bee sting to Tang Jie.
Mad Sword ng froze in shock as Tang Jie turned around and chuckled.
His smiling face was utterly horrifying.
And then Tang Jie punched, sending Mad Sword ng flying.
Fortunately for him, Mad Sword ng had a barrier, so he wasn’t instantly flattened by the punch. But the barrier shattered from the punch, and Mad Sword ng threw up blood upon impact and was no longer able to rise.
The original body snorted, “Can’t even take one attack.”
At this mont, a furious voice ca from behind him. “Then try this… Invite the Immortal within the Painting!”
The original Tang Jie turned to see i Huaping flying in the air, his arms spread out as a painting scroll unfurled behind him.
It was a painting of a palace lady. She was wearing a gown and had a seductive figure, but she had her back to the painting, her face hidden. As the painting appeared, i Huaping’s eyes flew open. The fire in those eyes was no more, replaced by the image of the woman’s back.
“This is…” The original Tang Jie was taken aback. He felt like he had heard about this painting before, but he didn’t rember where.
i Huaping called out, “Immortal, please turn around!”
The woman in the painting suddenly moved, her body turning ever so slightly.
This little shift made Tang Jie feel like his entire mind was drawn into the painting. The world suddenly went dark, and all that was left was the back of that palace lady. It filled up the world, spanning the heavens and earth. His surroundings beca cramped and small, and all sound died away.
In the eyes of others, it appeared as if Tang Jie had gone dumb, just standing there with a blank look on his face.
i Huaping laughed. “Hurry up and die!”
His brush ca down, and as he waved it around in the air, a giant sword began to take form. i Huaping waved his sleeve. “Go!”
The sword shot toward Tang Jie’s original body.
Thud!
The sword pierced through Tang Jie’s body and dissolved into spiritual light. Tang Jie seed to not sense it, his eyes remaining fixed on the painting.
“Hahaha!” i Huaping heartily laughed. Waving his brush again, he drew out a fierce tiger. This tiger leaped through the air and bit at Tang Jie. While it wasn’t as strong as that sword, it was longer-lasting.
i Huaping painted a giant bear, an eagle, and a venomous s
