Chapter 63

As the seven Dark Shadow Clan members, who were lined up and using their bodies and lives to withstand the Death Sword Dance's sword qi slashes, fell to the third one, the fourth person had already rushed in front of Hengyi!

The male Dark Shadow, with a fierce expression, raised his fist, infusing it with all his true qi, and mercilessly struck at Hengyi, who was rapidly spinning and wielding his weapon, continuously emitting red sword qi from his body—

The closer distance increased the frequency of the red sword qi attacks, and in an instant, the protective true qi of this Dark Shadow was shattered, and the condensed strength was almost completely dissipated.

His fist was just a hair's breadth away from hitting Hengyi when he was already torn apart by the Death Sword Dance's sword qi, losing any ability to resist...

He had no regrets.

Because the fifth Dark Shadow's fist had already struck the protective true qi on Hengyi's forehead—

The moment the protective true qi was shattered, Hengyi instinctively activated the Instant Slash—

Just as the fist was about to hit Hengyi's forehead, Hengyi vanished.

After the intense battle, he had developed this combat instinct: when his protective true qi was attacked, it meant a Dark Shadow would harm him.

In an instant, Hengyi disappeared from the female Dark Shadow's sight.

Hengyi's figure moved swiftly—

Appearing above the female Dark Shadow, the two Infinite Swords, infused with the Ultimate Blade Flower, instantly struck her head, followed by an energy burst and the downward thrust of the Instant Slash!

Under the multiple damages, the female Dark Shadow instantly lost her life. Before the light of the energy burst had even spread, Hengyi disappeared again, killing the sixth and then the seventh Earth Venerable cultivation Dark Shadow—

At this moment, the white light of the first energy burst had just spread to the sixth Dark Shadow in line...

The white light of the explosion sent three Dark Shadow corpses flying. Once again, the red sword qi of the Death Sword Dance erupted from Hengyi's body, transforming into a thousand strands of red sword qi that slashed in all directions as he rapidly spun!

At this moment, the red afterimage left by Hengyi's first Instant Slash had just disappeared...

In an instant, Hengyi had used the Infinite Flying Sword, Ultimate Blade Flower, energy burst, and Instant Slash three times, killing three Earth Venerable cultivation Dark Shadows who had meticulously advanced to attack Hengyi.

"How can he continuously use his ultimate techniques?" Wang Bupa and the others were completely baffled; they had never heard of such an incredible phenomenon.

Whenever any ultimate technique was used, it would inevitably put a strain on the meridians. Without a period of rest, the meridians could not withstand the next use of the technique. Forcing it would not only fail to work but also cause the strained meridians to burst.

This was an unavoidable reality. Among the countless ultimate techniques in the universe, only a few could achieve a state close to infinite use through other magical effects, but all had strict prerequisites and could not be used endlessly in actual combat.

But the Hengyi before them seemed to ignore the limitations of true qi and the need for meridian rest, truly using ultimate techniques without end, and not just one or two specific ones!

'Is this the complete form of the divine book's ultimate technique?' Chen Zizai was extremely shocked. If such a divine book's ultimate technique could transcend the qualitative limitations of true qi and become a powerful technique for even stronger cultivators, it would undoubtedly be one of the most powerful killing techniques in the universe today.

Especially when facing enemies with a certain gap in cultivation, fighting many with few would be effortless. If one had the cultivation of a Heaven Venerable, with a greatly increased amount and quality of true qi and a significantly enhanced self-recovery ability, fighting dozens of weaker opponents would be a piece of cake!

Chen Zizai vaguely realized that the key to the divine book's ultimate technique achieving this must lie in killing enemies. Only this could explain why Hengyi had displayed such astonishing power today.

"I was wrong; we shouldn't have turned back. Hengyi could have delayed and caught up with us on his own."

Chen Zizai's sigh made Hu Baijie feel deeply guilty. If not for her impulsiveness, Chen Zizai wouldn't have turned back.

But at that time, who could have imagined that Hengyi possessed such an incredible ability?

From the moment Hengyi returned until now, more than ten breaths had passed, and his use of ultimate techniques had never stopped. For him, it seemed as if he had an inexhaustible supply of true qi.

Hai Shan and Hai Yuntian were equally stunned, their mouths agape. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. Not just them, but no one would have believed it, as it completely defied the basic principles of ultimate techniques.

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion!

Black and red energy light surged and spread, throwing the surrounding Dark Shadows in all directions, and also scattering Hu Baijie and Chen Zizai's group, making them lose their footing.

"What's happening?"

Wang Bupa quickly called for everyone to regroup, as the scattered Dark Shadows were rushing towards Hengyi's direction, and many were also rushing towards them.

Taking advantage of the temporary space created by the scattered Dark Shadows, everyone saw Hengyi's body lose balance and fly through the air, and the Soul Devouring Jade Pendant on his waist had disappeared...

'What... The Soul Devouring Jade Pendant exploded because the accumulated power exceeded the limit of the magical artifact?' Chen Zizai realized the source of the explosion, momentarily stunned. At Beixiang Mountain, how many magical artifacts had been destroyed by Hengyi, and now he had witnessed the Soul Devouring Jade Pendant being shattered by overloaded energy!

'Trouble! Hengyi's true qi killing power will be greatly reduced!'

Just as Chen Zizai was worried, he saw red afterimages appearing almost simultaneously around the Dark Shadows who were launching a dark invasion and rushing towards Hengyi. Accompanying them was the spreading white light of the energy burst!

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen Dark Shadows were almost simultaneously killed by Hengyi's rapid appearances behind them, each one being swiftly eliminated!

After the swift killings, Hengyi once again activated the Death Sword Dance, leaving a red afterimage from the continuous Instant Slashes, which had not yet disappeared, moving so fast that it was breathtaking!

Just as Chen Zizai was relieved, he suddenly found himself surrounded by dark matter black gas!

'Not good...'

This thought flashed through his mind, and the pink magical fan in his hand immediately unleashed a chaotic fire around his body, instantly creating several dozen fiery arcs that danced around him.

At the same time, a male Dark Shadow, under the effect of the dark invasion, transformed into black mist and rushed into the flames!

A pair of hands, infused with true qi, fiercely grabbed into Chen Zizai's chest—

Amidst the splattering blood, Chen Zizai endured the pain and swung his fan, instantly engulfing the Dark Shadow in a sea of flames and burning away the dark matter black gas surrounding him.

If not for Chen Zizai's quick reaction, the next moment, countless Dark Shadows would have launched a dark invasion attack through the dark matter black gas...

When Hai Yuntian noticed Chen Zizai's injury and hurriedly flew over to assist, Chen Zizai coldly said, "I'm fine!"

Hai Yuntian slowed down, joining the others to maintain the formation they had before being scattered, each standing in their original positions.

The number of Dark Shadows rushing over was significant. Clearly, the explosion had caused them to no longer focus solely on Hengyi out of hatred, and a considerable number were also attacking them.

Everyone prepared to defend, each concentrating their ultimate techniques, waiting for the Dark Shadows to come within range—

A figure flashed and rushed over!

As the person arrived, the sword followed his spinning figure, emitting a circle of sword light that instantly killed all the Dark Shadows within a ten-foot radius. In a flash, he leaped three feet, emitting another circle of sword light that killed another group of Dark Shadows, and disappeared again!

In an instant, this figure flashed five times, killing many of the Dark Shadows surrounding Chen Zizai and the others. Then, his long sword suddenly slashed, releasing a massive green sword qi, a hundred feet wide, twenty feet high, and thirty feet long, slicing through the air!

In everyone's eyes, the green sword qi flashed across the void, and all the Dark Shadows hit by the sword qi were cut in half and fell to their deaths...

"Xu Wenfeng!"

Everyone, seeing the figure with a massive sword on his shoulder and a calm smile that showed no concern for the surrounding Dark Shadows, felt relieved.

Hengyi's ruthless combat ability, combined with the arrival of Xu Wenfeng, the first human genius to reach the Heaven Venerable realm at the age of fourteen, gave them a sense of safety, far from the threat of death.

Xu Wenfeng's powerful attack with the large, fan-shaped sword qi fully demonstrated the strength of the Heaven Venerable realm. An unknown number of Dark Shadows were killed by the sword qi, and none had the strength to struggle.

The power of the Heaven Venerable realm was incomparable to that of the Earth Venerable. The soul beast abilities he cultivated had not yet been displayed, but this alone was enough to disregard the numerous Dark Shadows.

Knowing this gap, even with Chen Zizai's confidence, he had not dared to compete with Xu Wenfeng for the top achievement in their training mission before setting out.

But at this moment, Chen Zizai suddenly felt a surge of confidence.

Because of Hengyi, Hengyi's combat ability was simply incomprehensible! The speed of killing enemies might not be inferior to Xu Wenfeng's. The soul power of the Heaven Venerable realm was extraordinary, with the ability to rapidly gather natural energy from the heavens and earth, thus possessing far greater sustained combat power than the Earth Venerable realm. However, Hengyi's true qi seemed infinite, and the divine book's ultimate techniques could be used infinitely. Why not strive for it?

Chen Zizai suppressed the pain from his chest wound. Under the influence of the dark matter black gas, the wound was difficult to heal without rest. Taking a blood-clotting powder only stopped the bleeding, and he was not in a condition to continue fighting. But for the sake of the top achievement in the training mission, Chen Zizai was unwilling to waste a moment.

Swinging the pink magical fan in his hand, he released ten fireballs that flew into the center of the Dark Shadows, and the explosions of flames killed all of them.

"I will assist you in defense," Xu Wenfeng said, seeing the continuous red sword qi that shredded the Dark Shadows into pieces. Although he was surprised by Hengyi's ultimate techniques, he knew that Hengyi's situation did not need excessive concern.

Hu Baijie, fearing for Hengyi's safety, quickly said, "Hengyi has been hit by a lot of dark matter black gas, causing blindness, deafness, and weakened perception. The situation is very dangerous!"
