Chapter 89

As the black blade sliced through, golden blood splattered.

The surging divine power contained within it merged directly with heaven and earth, dissipating without a trace.

Both sides suffered, the black blade hit the black shadow.

The long sword pierced the mountain god of Dazheshan, but the spear was once again futile, passing through the black shadow. No, strictly speaking, it was just a hair's breadth away from the black shadow.

A hair's breadth apart, yet worlds apart.

This Nine Nether Illusion, although Yang Qifeng did not know its specific effects, he had already deduced its general function after seeing the mountain god of Dongshan use it.

It specifically manifested in the word "illusion." It appeared that the attacks on the mountain god of Dazheshan were ineffective, piercing through the black shadow without causing any damage.

But Yang Qifeng knew that this was due to his senses and divine consciousness being deceived. In their vision, the black shadow was pierced, but in reality, the black shadow remained unharmed.

For such a Nine Nether Illusion, Yang Qifeng had already formed a plan in his heart.

He felt that his luck had come.

There are countless martial arts in the world, varied and strange, almost everything is available.

The Nine Nether Illusion, using the word "illusion" to deceive divine consciousness and vision, is a sophisticated technique. When practiced deeply, it is impossible to determine the true body's location, and attacks repeatedly miss.

However, for every strange technique, there is a way to counter it.

People are not fools; no matter how dominant a martial art is.

Times change, the world changes, people change, and martial arts change.

Ancient martial arts that once dominated the world have been cracked and countered in many ways.

If your fire-based martial art is powerful, wouldn't your enemy study water-based martial arts to counter you?

For example, the Wind Stabilizing Pill and the Fire Avoidance Pearl, the appearance of these treasures, though seemingly accidental, is actually inevitable.

Water and fire are merciless, a profound force, and methods to avoid them will definitely be developed.

Although the Nine Nether Illusion is strong, one of the three moves of the Great Sun Blade Technique that Yang Qifeng practices is precisely the counter to it.

Midday Sun, the most powerful and wide-ranging move among the three simplified moves of the Great Sun Blade Technique.

The Nine Nether Illusion deceives perception, divine consciousness, and vision, making your attacks misaligned. But when you switch from single-target attacks to area attacks, the Nine Nether Illusion will be exposed to your attacks.

However, the strength of the Nine Nether Illusion lies in the fact that ordinary area attacks cannot harm it. As long as it is not directly hit, even a hair's breadth away, it is worlds apart.

Unfortunately, when the mountain god of Dongshan used the Nine Nether Illusion against the Great Sun Blade Technique, he was in trouble.

Midday Sun was specifically designed to counter such strange martial arts.

With the light of noon, the explosive sun, it confronts and crushes all such strange and fantastical martial arts.

Not only was he hit, but the Nine Nether Illusion's power was immediately broken.

His eyes filled with shock, the mountain god of Dongshan did not expect to be hit. He advanced instead of retreating, confident in the Nine Nether Illusion.

The long sword was drawn, sword qi surged, and with a flip of his hand, the sword bizarrely turned in the air, the sharp tip piercing his chin and entering his head, causing his head to lift.

The head scattered in the wind, but it was fake.

It was formed by divine power, and the true body of the mountain god of Dazheshan had already escaped.

One hand gripping his bleeding side, he glared at Yang Qifeng with intense anger, as if questioning why Yang Qifeng did not block for him and let him get injured.

Yang Qifeng was also angry at the mountain god of Dazheshan's gaze. He looked at the mountain god of Dazheshan, but did not speak.

The mountain god of Dazheshan was angry, and how could Yang Qifeng not be?

The strategy of attacking Wei to save Zhao was intentional on Yang Qifeng's part. He had already judged that the mountain god of Dongshan had a low probability of giving up the attack.

This led to the previous scene, which was Yang Qifeng's retaliation against the mountain god of Dazheshan.

Regarding the interaction between the mountain god of Dazheshan and the mountain god of Dongshan, Yang Qifeng did not care at all.

What truly mattered to Yang Qifeng was that the mountain god of Dazheshan watched as the mountain god of Dongshan activated the formation.

Yang Qifeng knew the mountain god of Dazheshan's intentions. In this battle, the mountain god of Dazheshan had no choice, could not avoid it, and would die if he did not fight, but might not die if he did.

However, Yang Qifeng was different. He could choose to escape, as he was not bound to Dazheshan.

Therefore, to make Yang Qifeng fight to the death, the mountain god of Dazheshan watched the formation activate, isolating the inside from the outside, cutting off Yang Qifeng's escape route, and forcing him into a life-or-death battle.

Before the battle, Yang Qifeng had also considered the possibility of fleeing if things went wrong, but this thought was buried deep in his mind. The idea of fighting to the death had not faded, and he was unwilling to think about fleeing.

Regardless of how Yang Qifeng thought and planned, the mountain god of Dazheshan's manipulation of him made him angry.

At the time, to avoid exposing himself and losing the opportunity to ambush, he endured it, but it did not mean he was willing to be manipulated by the mountain god of Dazheshan.

The two looked at each other, their gazes quickly shifting away. Despite their anger, they had to cooperate against the common enemy.

They quickly exchanged glances, acknowledging that they had each tricked the other, and reached an agreement to join forces.

Yang Qifeng and the mountain god of Dazheshan joined forces again to fight the mountain god of Dongshan.

This time, with the Nine Nether Illusion broken, the mountain god of Dongshan was no longer as carefree as before, ignoring the attacks of the mountain god of Dazheshan.

The mountain god of Dazheshan's attacks contained profound meanings, which greatly restrained the mountain god of Dongshan, who had a deep understanding of these meanings. His full strength was reduced to seventy percent, and with Yang Qifeng's assistance, the mountain god of Dongshan was actually at a disadvantage, with Yang Qifeng and the mountain god of Dazheshan taking the upper hand.

Of course, this was also because the mountain god of Dongshan's injuries were more severe than those of the mountain god of Dazheshan.

Yang Qifeng's blade did not cause significant injuries to the mountain god of Dongshan, far less than the sword wound the mountain god of Dongshan inflicted on the mountain god of Dazheshan.

The true reason for the mountain god of Dongshan's worsening injuries was the Nine Nether Illusion. The use of this divine power, which was broken by Yang Qifeng's ambush, caused a backlash, making the mountain god of Dongshan's injuries more severe than those of the mountain god of Dazheshan.

Wounds began to appear on his body after just a few dozen exchanges.

Both sides were now in a life-or-death struggle, with no room for probing.

The mountain god of Dongshan added several more wounds to his body, his figure darting forward, pouncing like a python seeking its prey.

The long sword twisted like a snake, constantly writhing, the tip sharp and venomous, like a snake's tongue, ready to devour life.

Yang Qifeng saw this and sneered. He did not raise his black blade, seeing but not blocking, his palm tilted and directly chopped down, his body not retreating, but stepping forward.

Thud, thud, thud! He took three steps forward.

The black blade emerged, flames burning the sea, waves surging, fierce and powerful, its might evident!
