Chapter 75

As the onlookers were worried about Xu Wenfeng, he leaped up once again, landing in front of the mutant in an instant, and delivered a series of five consecutive leap strikes, sending the mutant flying into the sky. The Blood Suction Technique was thus rudely interrupted, disrupting the flow of his true qi.

After the five leap strikes, he swiftly followed up with a series of rapid sword strikes.

The continuous attacks left the Blood Sea mutant with no chance to retaliate, being hit repeatedly.

However, this time, the wave-like Dragon Breath and the wide-ranging killing Qingguang Sword Qi were not used, clearly indicating that these two powerful moves could not be used again in a short time.

The Blood Sea mutant, which had been cut into countless pieces, reformed and revived, still with a cold expression, tilting its head and moving its limbs for a moment.

In contrast, Xu Wenfeng was slightly panting, showing that the physical strain was indeed significant.

At this moment, Heng Yi's Death Sword Dance abruptly stopped.

The high-speed, sustained state of the ultimate skill for over sixty breaths made him even more exhausted.

The shadow stopped regenerating, and a cloud of black ash scattered in the wind, unable to kill or repair the meridians with the dark burst.

As the Death Sword Dance could no longer be used, Heng Yi gathered all the natural qi of heaven and earth, which transformed into a pillar of light from the red Soul-Integrated Dharma Sword—

The light pillar instantly flew through a hundred zhang of empty space, striking the back of the Blood Sea mutant with great force!

As the light beam penetrated the mutant's body, it absorbed power like the Infinite Sword, maintaining its original diameter and brightness as it flew diagonally into the clear blue sky, finally disappearing at the horizon—

The Blood Sea mutant slowly turned its head, looking at Heng Yi a hundred zhang away. The missing parts of its body quickly regenerated, and just as it was healing, it suddenly let out a roar!

Xu Wenfeng, who was about to launch another attack, suddenly stood firm, his sword ready, focusing his mind.

Heng Yi, remembering Chen Zizai's warning, did not rashly approach the mutant, fearing that he might become a source of Blood Sea energy for the Blood Sea mutant.

The severity of the wounds inflicted by the Death Sword was better than he had expected. He had been worried that the vast difference in strength would prevent the Death Sword from even leaving a scratch.

The Shadow Clan had no magical artifacts, but his Soul-Integrated Dharma Artifact greatly increased the killing power of his true qi. Combined with the Bloodthirsty Jade Pendant and his special ability to channel all his true qi into ultimate skills, the killing power was significantly enhanced, enough to deal a heavy blow to the Blood Sea mutant, which had no magical artifact protection.

As the Blood Sea mutant roared, the eagle-shaped mark on its forehead suddenly glowed!

Chen Zizai's brows furrowed. "Finally, it's going to use the strongest power of the Second Level of the Heavenly Venerable Realm!"

Everyone in the Divine Gate knew that at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, one could cultivate the soul of a spirit beast.

The Shadow Clan was born with the inheritance of such a spirit beast soul, unlike humans who had to find a stronger and more suitable spirit beast soul.

In the eyes of the onlookers, the eagle-shaped mark on the Blood Sea mutant's forehead suddenly enlarged—

In an instant, it transformed into a black giant eagle, ten zhang long.

As it transformed, the black shadow darted toward Heng Yi like a fierce wind—

"Trouble! Heng Yi has consumed more Blood Sea energy than Xu Wenfeng, and the mutant hates him more!" Chen Zizai's heart tightened. The power of a spirit beast was very strong, a state where the cultivator and the spirit beast's power merged. In the spirit beast state, one could use the unique innate skills of the spirit beast.

Seeing the eagle flying toward Heng Yi, many people urgently shouted, "Run!"

In an instant, Heng Yi's mind raced. Seeing the black shadow's fierce eyes and the open mouth, he immediately abandoned the idea of fleeing.

Instead, he launched a flurry of chaotic slashes, his body transforming into a streak of light as he charged toward the black eagle—

"Madness!" The four goddesses of Nanxiang Mountain couldn't help but exclaim in unison. Facing a spirit beast at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, a Ground Venerable would be utterly helpless, and even a slight collision would likely result in death!

Many people who were worried about Heng Yi hoped that Xu Wenfeng could come to his aid in time.

As the mutant transformed into a spirit beast soul, Xu Wenfeng roared, and a black dragon mark appeared on his forehead, suddenly enlarging!

In a moment, it transformed into a black dragon, over ten zhang long!

However, the black eagle moved faster and had the advantage of transforming first. The black dragon, now transformed, seemed unable to catch up. In the air, the black dragon raised its head, and a red energy light appeared in its blood-red eyes—

Xu Wenfeng's voice echoed simultaneously in all the team training beads.

"Attack!"

Although Chen Zizai and others were unsure of the reason, Xu Wenfeng had previously said he would give them a chance.

Chen Zizai and other quick-acting team leaders immediately led their teams to fly up and charge at the black eagle—

Hu Baijie wished she could instantly appear in front of Heng Yi to protect him from the black eagle, but she couldn't suddenly teleport.

The fierce wind and the streak of light that was Heng Yi quickly approached. Just as the black eagle's massive body was about to collide with the streak of light, Heng Yi suddenly disappeared!

In the air, no one saw where Heng Yi had teleported to as the people surged forward—

Just as Heng Yi was about to collide with the black eagle, he activated Instant Slash, appearing in the black eagle's open mouth.

He should have avoided the black eagle, but he realized that only the Flurry of Chaotic Slashes could move faster than the black eagle. However, without an enemy to kill, the Flurry of Chaotic Slashes could only last for three breaths. What would happen after three breaths?

At that moment, he saw the black eagle's mouth open and, without hesitation, charged into it.

As he was about to collide, the Instant Slash successfully allowed Heng Yi to enter the black eagle's mouth.

In the air, the black dragon's head suddenly swung, and a red light beam shot out, striking the black eagle's back—

The black eagle let out a piercing scream—

Its body, pressed by the continuous dragon breath, struggled but continued to sink rapidly!

The piercing scream made Heng Yi's ears bleed, and he instantly lost his hearing!

Ignoring this, Heng Yi immediately activated the Flurry of Chaotic Slashes as he entered, the white blade light flashing and madly slashing the flesh inside the black eagle's mouth—

The people flying up at that moment understood why Xu Wenfeng had said to attack. The black eagle, unable to move under the dragon breath, was sinking rapidly, making it the perfect opportunity for a group attack.

Those who were slower to react and had not seen the opportunity moments ago now rushed up, fearing they would be left behind.

Chen Zizai secretly admired Xu Wenfeng's strategy. Clearly, Xu Wenfeng had known from the mutant's forehead mark what its spirit beast was and had prepared a countermeasure for its transformed state.

The beautiful dragon breath attack instantly left the spirit beast state of the mutant with no chance to fight back, immediately putting it in a desperate situation of being surrounded and passively attacked.

The black eagle's wings struggled to flap, but under the heavy pressure of the red dragon breath, they could not move quickly. Inside its mouth, Heng Yi's Flurry of Chaotic Slashes continued to inflict deep wounds with countless blade lights in just two breaths.

The black eagle's large tongue moved wildly in resistance. When the Flurry of Chaotic Slashes was completed, Heng Yi, unable to avoid the tongue's movements by flying alone, hid at the base of the tongue and unleashed the Infinite Sword, infused with the Ultimate Blade Flower, mercilessly slashing the black eagle's throat—

With the white light of the energy explosion spreading, the Ultimate Blade Flower's light burst into a white pillar, illuminating the black eagle's throat, which was covered in wounds—

Outside, people heard the black eagle's even more pitiful screams, assuming that the injuries were caused by Xu Wenfeng's dragon breath light pillar.

"Quick! It's too late if you're slow!"

Those who were slower were anxious, fearing that the Blood Sea mutant would be killed before they could reach it.

Among the group guarding Xu Daxiong, those who were in better condition and could still move all flew up, hoping to take a chance. Only Xu Daxiong, Xiao Xia, and others with severe injuries could only watch helplessly.

Inside the black eagle's mouth, Heng Yi finished his set of divine book ultimate skills, swinging his Soul-Integrated Dharma Sword. Each strike, empowered by the sword's ability to channel three-tenths of his gathered true qi, continuously slashed the black eagle's tongue and throat.

These ordinary sword strikes, which would normally have little killing power compared to ultimate skills, now had the power of two-tenths of the Infinite Sword due to the sword's ability, making them even stronger than the ultimate skills of a Third Level Ground Venerable!

He slashed with great joy, but the mutant suffered significant injuries.

If the Shadow Clan mutant had emotions, it would surely regret not killing him at all costs at the beginning!

Suddenly, the mutant appeared in front of Heng Yi.

A black-red energy sword appeared in the mutant's hand, and a fierce voice exploded in Heng Yi's ear. "You must die!"

The mutant's body suddenly rose, falling like a meteor toward Heng Yi, the energy sword in his hand swiftly stabbing toward Heng Yi's heart—

At this moment, Heng Yi realized that the spirit beast state of the Heavenly Venerable Realm could coexist with the mutant's original form!

This strike was an enraged attack from the Second Level of the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Even with Xu Wenfeng's abilities, he could not avoid it by flying alone without using an ultimate skill!

Could a Third Level Ground Venerable like Heng Yi withstand it?

In the black eagle's mouth, Hei Yue unexpectedly flew in.

She saw the Blood Sea mutant's sword about to stab—

Hei Yue's figure flashed, disappearing in the air, and when she reappeared in front of Heng Yi, Heng Yi had vanished—

Activating Instant Slash to avoid the mutant's attack, Heng Yi's Dharma Sword gathered the energy needed to cast the Death Sword, pointing it at the mutant.

But he saw Hei Yue appear where he had vanished.

'Oh no!'

Heng Yi never dreamed that Hei Yue would come here, and even less that she would block the mutant's attack for him.

As the black-red energy sword pierced Hei Yue's abdomen, the Blood Sea mutant stopped its attack. At the same time, it was kicked in the chest by Hei Yue, causing it to fly back involuntarily. Hei Yue's gaze remained cold as she stared at the mutant.
