Chapter 1265: Chapter 1251: Unexpected Chapter 1265: Chapter 1251: Unexpected The local snake muttered, “Damn, that old bastard is too cunning, trying to hold back and prevent from leaving, waiting for his reinforcents to arrive. I’ll have to kill him first to see if the old fellow is impressive or if the Sacred Spirit Stone is more powerful.”
Constantly awakening the powerful energy within the Sacred Spirit Stone, the energy blasted in waves, forcing carefulness as being engulfed by the strong energy was a constant risk.
The local snake bombarded frantically like a madman, killing until thick smoke rose all around. Fortunately, Shao Hengjiang had brought quite a few n with him.
This guy was getting desperate, truly impatient. To stay on the safe side, Shao Hengjiang shifted from offense to defense again. The Sacred Spirit Stone contained endless energy, and engaging in a war of attrition with the opponent seed unworthy. He still didn’t know how much energy the local snake could release.
He glanced around, finding the situation quite in his favor after all since the people from the Immortal City Sect hadn’t shown up. If they had, he would have had to be extra cautious. It was said that the Dragon Slayer Sword was formidable, not sothing ordinary people could withstand. Back then, Mutant Winged Dragon nearly wiped out the Immortal and Demon Domain with one.
Luckily, they hadn’t appeared, and he remained on high alert.
The more frantic the local snake beca, it was not better – it only showed how chaotic his mind was. For Shao Hengjiang, this was useful. Co on, let’s see what else you’ve got. With more than a dozen elders aiding Shao Hengjiang, it wasn’t going to be easy for him to board the ship.
The local snake sowhat disbelieved in evil, as powerful energy kept being released. However, he also knew he couldn’t keep increasing it indefinitely because his control was limited. Once a certain threshold was reached, he would lose control.
During the ti on Sacred Spirit Island, didn’t that brat end up nearly devoured by the Sacred Spirit Stone in his final failure of control? Qiandu Xiang suffered severe injuries from this and was eventually killed.
However, he couldn’t stop releasing energy, because without elevating to more powerful levels, he simply couldn’t defeat Shao Hengjiang.
With a rapid release, the energy surged toward Shao Hengjiang like a torrential flood.
Shao Hengjiang dodged with a Swift Movent Technique. Seizing the opportunity to escape, the local snake was t with an energy strike followed by a Dodging Technique that sent his own attacking energy back at him, clinging to him like a tenacious plaster, impossible to shake off.
Angry, the local snake cursed up a storm.
Shao Hengjiang wasn’t buying it. Leveraging his superior martial arts, he resolved to seize the Sacred Spirit Stone from the local snake’s hands; otherwise, he would be at too great a disadvantage.
Longhun and a few people beside him covered their faces, ready to make their move at any mont. Yet, he pondered that if he could kill Shao Hengjiang, it would be ideal. The folks from Lion Head Island wouldn’t seek revenge from the Immortal City Sect if they died, and the braggarts from the Thirty-Six Islands wouldn’t dare seek revenge either.
But if he killed Shao Hengjiang and blad the Immortal City Sect, they would offend Iron Ten Thousand Island, Immortal dicine Island, and the Sacred Spirit Sect – surely these three would seek revenge from the Immortal City Sect then.
After all the atrocities committed by the Immortal City Sect, not seeking revenge wouldn’t be right. As he thought this, he realized Shao Hengjiang’s martial arts were genuinely not simple and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
He took out the Immortal Pearl and said, “Mo Ku, you must break through for . I don’t need Wan Liyun getting in the way.”
“Don’t worry, with so many people you’ve given , if I can’t handle Wan Liyun, I might as well quit.”
“Good that you understand.”
“Everyone get ready, not one can be left behind. We must all return intact.”
Another half hour passed by.
The local snake grew increasingly anxious, no longer knowing what to do, and had no choice but to continuously release even more powerful energy.
Shao Hengjiang knew the guy was practically drained. In just another half hour, he would completely lose control, and that’s when he would try to snatch the Sacred Spirit Stone from his hands.
He constantly elevated his power, each move more fierce than the last, starting off with a move that obstructed heaven and obscured the earth, leaving him utterly disoriented.
The local snake could summon the energy of the Sacred Spirit Stone, but doing so was wasteful and didn’t pose enough of a threat to Shao Hengjiang. He only went off sheer willpower, performing research for but a few days, how could he beco an expert? At best, he was a last-minute effort. After half an hour, it beca clear he could only keep making moves.
He wanted to call Yang Zuotai over to help, but Yang Zuotai was already being targeted by others, and the local snake had no better option.
As the local snake beca disoriented, Shao Hengjiang did not relent but sought to overwhelm him in one fell swoop and force his surrender.
Launching an overbearing move that pressured the local snake into continuous retreat, he could only change from offense to defense, giving himself a mont to calm down.
Shao Hengjiang saw the opponent switch from offense to defense, becoming even more composed, and summoned another surge of overwhelming righteousness.
Local bully ford a protective ring ahead of himself, blocking the incoming energy, hoping to outlast Shao Hengjiang, seeing who would run out of energy first. After all, he had an inexhaustible supply of energy, but the old geezer was different; his strength would diminish eventually.
Shao Hengjiang knew what Local Bully was thinking; he was aware that Local Bully was trying to wear him down. But he wasn’t that foolish. He intended to break Local Bully’s protective ring before his own powers weakened.
An energy strike, like an army of thousands of horses, lunged forward, hitting Local Bully’s protective ring.
Grinding his teeth, Local Bully roared, “Co on, if you’re not afraid of perishing together, bring it on.”
Shao Hengjiang truly didn’t believe Local Bully dared to die together with him; he believed Local Bully yearned to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone. However, would Local Bully really sacrifice himself for the Sacred Spirit Stone? Local Bully wasn’t that kind of person, so what did he achieve?
Absorbing the spiritual essence of all things, the strike surged forward with overwhelming force.
Local Bully had to hold steady, his only option was to keep increasing the energy output of the Sacred Spirit Stone. This old guy really isn’t afraid of death, thinking of a do-or-die battle. What now, dammit! Local Bully was starting to run out of ideas.
Then suddenly, a new attack erupted from another side—it was Wan Liyun’s side.
On spotting the assault, Shao Hengjiang’s thoughts turned to the Immortal City Sect—it must be the band of villains from the Immortal City Sect that had arrived. Other than them, he couldn’t think of any other possibilities. Thankfully, he had left Wan Liyun behind, and Wan Liyun still had over three hundred n under his command, holding a strategic position. They should be able to hold off against four to five hundred people for half an hour, but he needed to secure the Sacred Spirit Stone quickly.
Longhun knew what Shao Hengjiang was thinking, but they didn’t realize their numbers had suddenly increased by several hundred. He ordered his n to quickly generate smoke, as thick black smoke billowed out, obscuring all visibility. This was to montarily confuse the enemy about their actual numbers, seizing the opportunity to storm in for a surprise attack.
Wan Liyun muttered, “Think you can muddle through the chaos and disrupt things? Not happening.” He ordered his n to be extra vigilant and plunged into battle himself, wanting to make a strong impression. However, he soon realized that sothing was amiss. There weren’t just four to five hundred people, but over a thousand, all of whom were highly skilled martial artists, beyond the likes of what the Thirty-Six Islands could muster.
Seeing the smoke rising and the killing spree intertwining with Shao Hengjiang’s n, Local Bully figured it must be the Immortal City Sect. “Bring it on, all together now,” he mused. Although they too coveted the Sacred Spirit Stone in his hand, it also ant anything could happen now. Shao Hengjiang’s n had to contend both with them and the Sacred Spirit Sect, which seed to be of so help to him. He murmured, “Old man, better hurry up and deal with those murderous wolves of the Immortal City Sect, or we’ll all end up dead here.”
Shao Hengjiang believed Nangong Yao would arrive soon; as long as he could hold his ground, he would definitely secure the Sacred Spirit Stone. He increased the energy output, unleashing over a dozen bolts of lightning from his other palm.
“Damn it, this old fool really wants to die together with ,” Local Bully could scarcely believe it; the man kept forcing him to release energy. He couldn’t just hand over the Sacred Spirit Stone like that; he should be able to hold on a little longer. “Co on, if you dare. Let’s see who dies first.”
He would not just hand it over without a fight.
Wan Liyun desperately wanted to keep control, but three hundred n against over a thousand, and even with advantageous terrain, controlling the situation against so many was difficult. A powerful Light Wave exploded, creating an opening, but Shao Hengjiang, in the distance, was unaware. He had no idea that there were over a thousand masked people storming in.
Longhun, wearing a mask, locked onto two targets and drew a beam of energy from the Immortal Pearl aid directly at Local Bully.
Local Bully’s grip on the Sacred Spirit Stone was becoming unstable, prone to losing control at any mont—and this strike was precisely what Longhun hoped for. A crushing force instantly bore down on him.
How could Local Bully be a match for Shao Hengjiang and Longhun? But if he didn’t want to be devoured by energy, his only choice was to keep escalating the Sacred Spirit Stone’s energy output. Anyway, he had two vials of poison; he was supposed to drink one, but now that Shao Hengjiang had him tangled up again, he couldn’t escape.
Shao Hengjiang never anticipated the Immortal City Sect’s n could break through so quickly, and even more unexpected was that hundreds poured in. Sothing was off. He had learned from the n of Lion Head Island that the Immortal City Sect only totaled around four to five hundred, yet here were four to five hundred charging in. What on earth was Wan Liyun doing?
The energy struck, hitting the Light Wave, blowing open the protective ring. Local Bully began releasing energy frantically like a madman.
The massive energy spun out of control, escalating continuously,
Shao Hengjiang felt the situation turning sour and hastily fled. Local Bully threw down the Sacred Spirit Stone and only cared about saving his own skin. A hefty shockwave exploded, launching Local Bully, who hadn’t gotten far, to who knows where—he was probably dead.
Shao Hengjiang was also knocked away by the shockwave, seriously injured.
Longhun glanced back at Old Du, still masked, signaling him to fetch the Sacred Spirit Stone.
Despite his injuries, Shao Hengjiang refused to let them take away the Sacred Spirit Stone and launched an attack with his palm.
Longhun, still masked, unleashed a lightning bolt, blocking Shao Hengjiang, his eyes filled with ferocity.
