Chapter 641: Chapter 637: Desperate Struggle to Death Chapter 641: Chapter 637: Desperate Struggle to Death Lu Huaming’s longsword plunged into the black light shield, but it felt like it was stuck on an incredibly hard giant stone, regardless of how much mana he expended in his attempted drive, progress was stubbornly elusive.
Seeing that evasion was no longer possible, Shen Luo abruptly stopped and pushed his palms forward. All the mana from within his body poured forth without reservation, casting a brilliant golden glow on the dragon horn cone. The size of the cone doubled and shielded in front of him, successfully blocking the black firelines.
The extrely hot firelines struck the golden cone, their intense heat rapidly absorbing and diminishing the golden light on the surface of the cone. It was visibly shrinking quickly and was gradually being pushed back bit by bit.
Seeing that Shen Luo was about to falter, Lu Huaming’s gaze quickly shifted towards the injured Gu Hualing.
“I’m sorry…” he whispered, bending his fingers that were forming a sword technique.
The longsword, originally locked in a contest with the black light shield, abruptly changed direction and aid towards the defenseless Gu Hualing.
The Black Phoenix Demon noticed this imdiately and was filled with rage. Instantly withdrawing the Phoenix Fla Firelines, it grabbed at the flying sword. With just a squeeze, it had the longsword firmly in its grip.
However, the longsword, filled with the extensive mana of Lu Huaming, was still advancing with fierce montum. It cut two shocking wounds in the palm of the Black Phoenix Demon.
Right then, the bleeding palm of the Black Phoenix Demon suddenly ignited with a raging fire. Amidst the black flas, intertwining with streaks of golden sparks, the entire longsword was quickly heated till it turned cherry-red.
The Black Phoenix Demon’s gaze landed on Lu Huaming, followed by a cold snort, and then a sudden crushing grip.
With a crisp “crack”, the heated longsword snapped in the middle.
After a lengthy period of refining the longsword, Lu Huaming and his weapon had a deep connection. The mont the body of the sword was shattered, it felt like nurous Qiao acupoints in his chest and belly were blasted, leading to a fiery and excruciating pain.
Unable to suppress a groan, traces of blood trickled down the corner of his lips, eyes, nostrils and even ears. He had been seriously injured.
The Black Phoenix Demon, now fuming at Lu Huaming’s attempt to aid Gu Hualing, picked up a fragnt of the Broken Sword and violently flung it towards Lu Huaming.
With a “whoosh” echoing through the air, the Broken Sword fragnt, like an arrow, left behind a crimson arc in mid-air, aid directly at the mid-brow of Lu Huaming.
At that mont, Shen Luo, who was already on his way towards Lu Huaming, stood in front of him.
By his side, another red arc light exploded. The Pure Yang Sword Embryo traced a blurry arc of light, colliding fiercely with the fragnt of the Broken Sword.
The two red lights shattered simultaneously, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo was sent flying one direction, while the fragnt of the Broken Sword still charged towards them.
Left with no choice, Shen Luo summoned the Dragon Horn Cone again to block it.
With a resounding “clang”, the Dragon Horn Cone shuddered noticeably, repelled and pushed back. The Broken Sword fragnt, after two collisions, eventually shattered into iron slag and scattered around.
Shen Luo summoned back the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. The rapid depletion of his mana left him almost unable to manipulate the Dragon Horn Cone. The exhausting consumption of his spiritual power made his head feel dizzy and his Dantian felt incredibly vacant.
“Shen Luo, I’m afraid we might not escape unscathed this ti. I’m about to perform a secret technique. It may not gravely harm the demon, but at least we can montarily hold our own. You must seize that opportunity to escape, or I won’t be able to focus and perform at full strength here.” At that mont, Lu Huaming’s voice unexpectedly echoed in Shen Luo’s Sea of Knowledge.
Hearing his na being called instead of the usual “Brother Shen”, Shen Luo realized that despite Lu Huaming’s seemingly relaxed tone, their situation had reached its most dire state.
“Brother Lu, at such a critical mont, why are you still insisting on showing off your strength? Don’t think I don’t understand the cost of using that secret technique. The effects from the last ti haven’t completely dissipated yet. You’re thinking about doing it again. Even without this demoness, you’ll be knocking on the Underworld’s door,” Shen Luo responded with a worried frown.
“Whether it works or not, we have to try. We can’t let both of us fall here, right? Enough talk, it takes ti to cast this secret technique. I need you to buy so ti,” sighed Lu Huaming.
After speaking, he didn’t wait for Shen Luo’s consent. He crossed his legs to sit down on his own. Then he took a white jade plate from his waist and clasped it in his palms, pouring his mana into it. The jade plate imdiately lit up with a gentle glow.
Shen Luo rembered that the last ti he saw Lu Huaming using this secret technique, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from his body. Clearly, it seed much more difficult this ti.
Though he wanted to stop Lu Huaming, words failed him. He could only silently bla himself for his insufficient cultivation level, and his inability to be as powerful as he was in his dream.
While blaming himself, a wave of heat suddenly surged from the front. Shen Luo quickly focused his attention, only to find a turbulent black fire wave rushing towards him. It was taking up a semicircular shape, almost cutting off most of his retreat paths.
Shen Luo gave a wry smile. At this mont, he had to buy so ti for Lu Huaming, and even if there was a way to retreat, he couldn’t.
“I can only fight…”
With a steely grip on his heart, Shen Luo took an elixir from his waist ant to replenish mana. Crushing it in his mouth, he quickly swallowed it down then swiftly waved his hand forward.
Then, a small seal flew out into mid-air and plunged down heavily from in front of Shen Luo. Its inscription glowed with a yellow halo while a series of spectral mountain peaks erged one after another, cascading down before him.
“Boom, boom, boom.”
Each ti a spectral mountain fell, it was accompanied by a thunderous shock. As it hit the ground, it seed to connect with the Earth’s Qi and started to root itself, drawing up the Earth’s spiritual power.
This technique was the desperate asure of the Five Mountains Seal. Once cast, the seal truly connects with the Earth and can never be withdrawn. If it could continuously absorb the aura of Heaven and Earth for hundreds of years, and the essence of the sun and the moon, it could literally grow roots and transform into a physical entity over ti.
This technique was originally used to suppress other objects completely. The virtual-to-real Five Peaks and the Three Mountains and Five Peaks Array they ford had been very effective in suppressing common demons below the Soul Condensation stage.
However, he was in a desperate situation now, and Shen Luo could not afford to hesitate.
The five peaks fell one after another, their spectral silhouettes intertwining. They bisected the valley of Hei Feng Ao, blocking the burning flas.
Through the semi-transparent spectral mountain scenery, Shen Luo saw the Black Phoenix Demon taking a step forward. She lifted her hand above her head, and a golden fla condensed around her palm.
Then, with a swing of her arm that looked like she was wielding a knife, she slashed it down in their direction.
On her arm, the golden fla erupted into a hundred-foot golden light that solidified into a giant golden blade and landed heavily on the Five Peaks.
Accompanied by a “boom,” one of the peaks at the center of the Five Peaks crumbled imdiately. Its illusion was as fragile as tofu and simply inadequate to resist the attack, scattering imdiately.
The trace of a crack left on the Five Peaks True Form Seal under the Central Yue Mountain Peak after the last battle instantly enlarged several tis. Following one of the mountain lines on the seal, it spread out, finally shattering with a “snap.”
When the True Form Seal shattered completely, the Five Peaks vanished along with it. The unobstructed sea of fla surged forward again.
