Chapter 855: Chapter 854: Thorny Kill
Hou Niao carefully organized his response. In the Jinxiu Continent, his days of easy battle victories against others were gone. Only upon arriving in the universe did he realize he was nothing. Previously, there was Daoist Zhi Xuan, now it’s Daoist Mu Fan, and who else would there be, he didn’t know.
It was only today that he understood how fortunate he had been to kill Bao Xishan back then, but that incident had essentially exhausted all his luck, and now his true form was revealed.
He could only hope for a risky maneuver, a one-hit kill.
His opponent was obviously on guard against his desperate moves, testing the wisdom and patience of both sides.
The flying sword searched endlessly for the Daoist’s trace, passing through flas, water curtains, soil barriers, golden shields, wooden walls… continuously colliding with the opponent’s spells along the way, growing weaker each ti, until it was forced to return to the Purple Mansion to regain strength.
This process repeated over and over, ending inconclusively each ti. Without a decent Golden Core Level swordsmanship, without Sword Light Division, the flying sword beca a simple artifact, like a flying knife… the only difference being the cycle and reuse.
When he switched to the Body Sword Skill, perception beca an issue again, easily confused by the myriad of spells. After all, during the Body Sword Skill, he was in a relatively enclosed space, far less perceptive than when his true body was outside.
A dilemma… essentially, it was just that he hadn’t fully developed yet and ca out to fight. Thus, he was stretched thin everywhere.
The Five Elents rotated back to the Wood Elent, and under Daoist Mu Fan’s mastery, the entire space seed to turn green, with grass filling the space, unstoppable by slashing, indestructible by burning.
This was sowhat different from the opponent’s previous uses of Wood Elent Techniques, and Hou Niao didn’t rush to counterattack but kept his cool.
He designed several plans for himself, considering the suspicious and intuitive nature of cultivators, he deliberately perford poorly with the Gold and Fire elents. Of course, in reality, he was indeed poor at them, so it was a genuine performance.
But a truly adept cultivator would definitely wonder, why is he so bad in these two aspects? For a Sword Cultivator, isn’t enhancing the flying sword’s power directly through Gold and Fire elents the best choice?
Thinking about it this way could lead to paranoia, and nine tis out of ten, they wouldn’t engage in those two elents, which could be a clever move backfiring, but it’s also the instinct of a cultivator who wants to live longer.
Among the remaining three elents, he prepared two plans: if Daoist Mu Fan chose to confront directly via the Water and Earth elents, he would use the Five Elents Mysterious Light, hoping to instantly clear the spell space and buy a few monts for his flying sword to attack.
This required timing, when the opponent revealed their trump card, not when they still had energy to spare; the opportunity was a one-ti deal, waiting for the most confident mont was crucial.
If it was like this, he had a certain chance to harm the opponent, but whether he could kill him was uncertain.
The other plan was for the Wood Elent environnt, like now, but he didn’t know Mu Fan’s intention, so he was still being chased embarrassingly under the Wood Elent Techniques, with the flying sword struggling to find enemies, its limited attacks lacking power and difficult to sustain.
Under the mastery of Daoist Mu Fan, the space grew full of grass, which was also hard for Mu Fan to maintain, so he didn’t hesitate. As the grassland transford, the grasses rapidly grew into towering trees.
The entire space turned into a forest impenetrable by wind and rain, and such a Wood Elent Technique made Hou Niao drop his jaw. He wondered about the imnse magic power needed to achieve this.
He also vaguely realized that his opponent was likely preparing for a final strike.
Considering this, before the grass completely disappeared, he turned himself into a small grass, with Purple Mansion Strange Stone Orchid as the base… he was familiar with this thod, because in Sui Mo City, he had used it to trap three Golden Core cultivators to death.
The Strange Stone Orchid hid among the grass, growing along with it, towering like a tree. The special roots left Daoist Mu Fan’s Wood Gui Lao entirely unaware, thinking everything was progressing smoothly. By this point, the situation was irreversible.
The Daoist god suddenly exerted force, and the entire forest changed again, moving to enclose the only place in the forest with a life aura. During this process, trees turned into thorns, countless barbs gleaming coldly,
No one could resist such Wood Thorn stabbing, layer upon layer, inescapable and unavoidable.
This was why Mu Fan chose the Wood Gui Lao; its thorn kill though not as grand as other Daoist god’s absolute kills, had a silent, unique power in its silence.
When the forest gathered inwards, pressing and transforming into thousands of Wood Thorns, not even an immortal could escape!
The best thod to counter such a Forbidden Technique was Fire Techniques, which specifically targeted Daoist like Sword Cultivators. Where would it end if a single flying sword was used to slash?
Within the space ford a massive Wood Thorns Ball, countless wood thorns madly stabbing inward, with the Sword Cultivator at the center. Whether he was in his true form or hidden within the sword, he had to face the compression of such Wood Elent Power without an alternative path.
The end had arrived; it was only a matter of ti.
Mu Fan leisurely watched the changes in the space, experiencing the control of the Forbidden Technique by his Daoist god, the Wood Gui Lao. This was what Ci Hang relied on to act rampant in the universe, a Five Elents Skill power beyond understanding, and within the Anchor Chain Star System Golden Core Level, few could withstand his attack, making him one of the top prospects favored by the Anchor Chain’s upper echelon.
The thorns were still madly gathering stabs, and Mu Fan was waiting for the life aura inside to vanish, but… the life aura, after initially weakening, began to slowly and firmly strengthen, and faster and faster!
He sensed this change, and so did the Daoist god, Wood Gui Lao. As an existence passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, how could it tolerate such defiance? Under its continuing pressure, the Wood Thorns beca even more frenzied, refusing to rest until achieving its goal.
Wood Gui Lao persisted out of pride, and Mu Fan felt sothing was wrong?
He could clearly feel the output of his magic power, and although he still had energy to spare, it couldn’t last much longer. With so many Wood Thorns, it required an imnse amount of magic power to sustain.
These changes actually occurred within an instant, and he was a decisive person. Upon realizing the Sword Cultivator’s life aura was growing stronger and the Wood Thorns couldn’t suppress it, he resolutely decided to swap out his Daoist god!
In the Sea Of Consciousness, Fire General descended upon the consciousness eye, as the fire began, combining with countless Wood Thorns, creating a Hell Burning Sky!
It seed well thought out, but the problem was the Wood Gui Lao wouldn’t budge!
Daoist gods were divine objects he worshipped and nurtured daily for over a century, absolutely incapable of disobeying their owner’s commands…
Mu Fan’s heart sank, danger was imminent.
The power of their Ci Hang Lineage was both the making and breaking by Daoist gods. If the Daoist god in the Sea Of Consciousness entered a temporary death-like state, all his abilities would drop to zero.
Wood Gui Lao refused to leave, and Fire General couldn’t settle into position, he was now a lamb awaiting slaughter!
With fear in his heart, he looked at the thorn ball, which suddenly broke apart, a point of sword light spinning towards him…
