Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Victor’s gaze resembled the eyes of the Grim Reaper, cold and indifferent, piercing straight into people’s hearts, causing their scalps to go numb.
Hu Ba’s face instantly turned pale.
“Little Ba! Quickly retreat!”
Gray fog swirled around Hu Zhi’s body. In that instant, he felt terrifying killing intent coming from Victor’s body. An inexplicable boundless vitality, he did not look like a person that was on the verge of death at all!
He shouted and was about to attack, but it was too late.
Victor’s right hand appeared on Hu Ba’s right shoulder like a ghost. Victor grabbed Hu Ba’s joint while he was in a panic and casually squeezed it.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bones breaking entered Hu Ba’s ears. It was exceptionally distinct in this quiet valley!
Hu Ba was stunned for a moment. He looked at his right arm that was drooping down at an awkward angle. For a moment, he could not comprehend what had just happened.
“Ahhhh!”
Hu Ba let out a desperate and painful scream. At the same time, Hu Zhi made his move!
“Go to h.e.l.l!”
In his haste, he no longer had the time to think about why Victor was alive. He pulled out his long sword and stabbed it at Victor’s chest.
Victor turned around abruptly. The silent spiritual power and the power of nature exploded from the Wood Spirit Embryo.
Victor’s right hand burst out with a green light and he grabbed Hu Zhi’s long sword.
“Mighty Palms!”
Before Hu Zhi’s shocked eyes, Victor’s hands emitted a golden light, he grabbed Hu Zhi’s long sword and instantly twisted the upper-grade Yellow-rank spiritual artifact, deforming it!
“What!?”
Hu Zhi’s face was filled with disbelief. Although Victor’s palm was covered with a layer of metal-attribute spiritual power, it was impossible for him to twist his upper-grade Yellow-rank spiritual artifact with his palm alone!
There were also other cultivators who were proficient in fist and palm techniques. However, they all wore spirit weapon gloves. Otherwise, how could they fight against a spirit weapon with their bare hands?
Amidst the lightning and power of fire, Hu Zhi no longer had the time to think about it. Victor grabbed the spirit sword with his right hand and swung his left fist hastily.
Golden Flame Lion King Fist!
A golden lion was formed by the endless and wild fire of nature. The lion burst out in a loud roar. At that moment, Hu Zhi felt that his body was like a fragile leaf that was being torn apart in a hot and violent wind and was about to be turned into ashes!
At the critical moment, Hu Zhi let out a furious roar. He circulated all the spiritual power in his body to the extreme and turned into a sharp sword light that met Victor’s punch.
Crack!
The sword light shattered, and the qi and blood in Hu Zhi’s body surged. He barely managed to maintain his balance as he landed on the ground. However, he could not help but take seven or eight steps back. His face was filled with horror.
Not only Hu Zhi, but the short man, Ah Li, and the others were also shocked by the sudden change. What was going on?
How did Victor, who was originally like a dead person, suddenly come back to life?
Where did the spiritual power in his body come from?
The one who was most shocked was Bai Yulan. She had been staying with Victor the whole time, and she was able to clearly see the changes in Victor’s body. She was certain that more than half of the spiritual power in Victor’s body was gone, and his vitality was extremely weak. It would have been fortunate if he was able to even stay alive!
Why did he suddenly have such terrifying power?
“Who… Who are you?”
Hu Zhi looked at Victor, his heart full of doubt. The previous short exchange happened in a flash, thus Hu Zhi didn’t have time to observe Victor’s cultivation level clearly.
However, what puzzled him was that after he carefully checked, this kid’s aura was only at the 13th level of the spirit gathering realm.
He had just entered the 13th level, yet he was able to force him back in terms of strength?
Could there be such a person in this world?
Victor did not waste his breath on him. After absorbing the Void Magic Stone, his body had been tempered by the master of the netherworld’s bloodline.
He had successfully broken through to the 13th level of the spirit gathering realm. The only pity was that he had practically exhausted all the spiritual energy in his body. The energy that he could use now was the energy acc.u.mulated in the spirit embryo.
Although the Wood Spirit Embryo could provide more spiritual power now than before, the consumption now was also greater than before. If he used fully relied on the power of nature, he would not be able to last long.
With a shake of his right hand, the Purple Micro Divine Sword shot out!
Green spiritual power whistled out, and the air around the tip of the sword began to tremble.
Hu Zhi’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “It seems like you are going to fight to the death. You gained the upper hand with one move, and you think you can win me? Don’t force me to use my secret technique!”
Hearing the word “secret technique”, Victor naturally didn’t have any reaction. On the other hand, Bai Yulan’s face turned slightly pale. It was obvious that what Hu Zhi said was true.
“Senior Brother Victor, this secret technique is the half-set Burning Blood secret technique that the Bright Moon Sect obtained when they fought their way into the Land of the Netherworld.
“This secret technique can only be used at the cost of sacrificing one’s lifespan and cultivation base. It’s very powerful!”
Bai Yulan quickly transmitted her voice to Victor through spiritual power.
Hu Zhi saw Bai Yulan’s expression and figured the content of her message to Victor. He looked pleased.
He sneered, “Kid, be tactful. Once the secret technique is used, you will definitely die.
“However, I don’t want to damage my own lifespan. If you are willing to stop fighting, I can let you go. I will even give you some of the Bright Moon Sect’s secret treasures. Otherwise…”
Before Hu Zhi could finish speaking, Victor’s sword had already greeted him.
Rumble!
The air shook and spiritual power whistled.
A ferocious look flashed across Hu Zhi’s face. “You forced me to do this! Blood Burning Secret Skill!”
Pu!
Hu Zhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The spiritual power and the blood threads merged into a b.l.o.o.d.y fog that rushed out. For a moment, the gray fog around him turned into a thick b.l.o.o.d.y fog.
Hu Zhi’s eyes were red. The muscles on his hands bulged, and his fingernails looked like ghost claws.
This secret skill would not only greatly damage the caster’s lifespan and cultivation, but also affect the caster’s will. Once used, the caster would not be able to control the killing intent in his heart.
“Die!”
Hu Zhi suddenly jumped up, and a huge blood-red ghost claw attacked Victor. A b.l.o.o.d.y smell emerged.
The smell was not an illusion, but real blood, which came from Hu Zhi’s blood essence.
Facing this blood-red ghost claw, Victor’s eyes darkened, and he took a deep breath.
Green Dragon Life Form!
In the next moment, the dragon’s roar pierced through the clouds and rocks, and a vast dragon’s might filled the s.p.a.ce.
Soon after, the Divine Tree of Wood of the Wood Spirit Embryo whizzed out, and a shadow of a divine green dragon coiled on it. Countless bolts of lightning surrounded it, and then it charged straight at the ghost claw.
Boom!
The blood-red ghost claw exploded, and the shockwave spread in all directions, scattering gravel everywhere.
“What is this?” Hu Zhi shouted with a pale face.
The power of lightning was the most effective against evil existences. In addition to that, the lightning tribulation was combined with the true intention of the green dragon, along with the power of nature condensed from Victor’s Wood Spirit Embryo. The three powers had combined into one, and it was definitely not be something that ordinary secret techniques could resist. Moreover, Hu Zhi had only learned half of the secret technique.
Facing the shadow of the Divine Lightning Dragon, Hu Zhi had no time to think. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, then the black and red mist formed a b.l.o.o.d.y shield in front of Hu Zhi.
