Chapter 69: Spiritual Energy Perfection, Death!
Chapter 69: Spiritual Energy Perfection, Death!
"Boom!"
Two loud bangs were accompanied by blinding lightning. Although the blue and red swords were top-grade magic weapons, they were still knocked away by the bombardment of the lightning explosion talisman, and their power was reduced.
"Well!"
The old man in black robes groaned, his face visibly paling.
He controlled both magic swords with his divine sense, so if they were damaged, it would naturally affect his soul.
Fortunately, the damage to the green and red swords was not serious, and the old man in black robes only experienced a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness before he pulled through.
"You little beast, let's see where you can run to!"
The black-robed old man's feet flashed with spiritual light, and in a flash, he appeared above the sea where Chen Ye had just disappeared.
"Cold Light Palm!"
He roared, and spiritual energy erupted from his palm, wisps of cold mist quickly forming a huge palm print, which he slammed down fiercely.
boom!!
The seawater within the range of the palm print sank downwards, instantly freezing into a thick layer of ice!
Even dozens of feet below the sea surface, Chen Ye was surprised to feel the power emanating from above.
No wonder everyone says that the Great Perfection of Spiritual Energy is called a half-step secret treasure. That black-robed old man was at least eighty years old. Even with his blood energy declining, he could still unleash such a powerful attack. He was a completely different kind of being from the late-stage Spiritual Energy cultivators he had killed before!
Fortunately, he immediately dove into the depths when he sensed something was wrong; otherwise, if that palm strike had landed on him, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
"Get out here!"
The old man in black robes looked like a madman, striking down with one palm after another, causing the seawater within a hundred-foot radius to boil as if it were boiling, with waves rising skyward.
No matter how he bombarded him, Chen Ye remained firmly underwater at a depth of several tens of feet without surfacing.
The old man is in a rage; only a fool would willingly show himself to face his fury.
No matter what level a cultivator is, their spiritual energy is limited. They can find a way to replenish it when it is almost depleted. Chen Ye did not believe that he could hold his breath underwater for more than an hour, and that old guy could also blast it for an hour.
On the other side, on the spirit ship.
The black-robed old man's attention was drawn to Chen Ye, and Gong Yuechan took the opportunity to break free from the black net that was covering her.
Although cultivators can multitask, they will still be distracted to some extent. Moreover, her own strength is not weak. In the past year, her cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering stage!
"Was that... Chen Ye?"
Gong Yuechan recalled the figure that had suddenly appeared from the sea, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
To be honest, she never expected to run into Chen Ye again at this time.
The last time the two met was more than a year ago, when Chen Ye was preparing to leave Jinwu Island and came to say goodbye, but she did not meet with Chen Ye, citing seclusion as the reason.
But who would have thought that in just over a year, Chen Ye's cultivation level had already broken through two levels, reaching the late stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm!
But now is not the time to think about these things. Although the old man in black robes can't take care of her for the time being, Gong Yuechan has no intention of running away.
With her delicate hands forming a hand seal, three water blades, each over ten feet long, slashed through the air. At the same time, she summoned a slender magic sword, as thin as an ice spike, from her storage bag. Stepping onto the deck, she leaped towards the black-robed old man.
The old man in black robes was already anxious and resentful because he couldn't force Chen Ye to come out of his way, and now he was even more furious when he saw Gong Yuechan rushing towards him.
Originally, I was thinking of capturing a core member of the Gong family alive, but now there's no need for that anymore.
Boom boom boom!
The old man in black robes shattered the water blades that were slashing at him with several palm strikes. Then, enduring the pain in his sea of consciousness, he controlled the blue and red swords to turn around. One sword blocked Gong Yuechan's attack, while the other sword spat out a cold light and went straight for her fair neck!
Sizzle~~
The sharp blade sliced through Gong Yuechan's protective spiritual shield, producing a piercing scraping sound.
Gong Yuechan's body shimmered with spiritual light. She had expended a great deal of spiritual energy in the previous battle and had not had time to recover before immediately throwing herself into the fight. The protective spiritual shield she had barely managed to maintain was teetering on the brink of collapse under the cutting of the top-grade magic weapon, and seemed to be about to crumble at any moment.
"Die!"
The old man in black robes had a ferocious look on his face. He was about to increase his magic power to make the woman die with his nephew when a sudden change occurred.
huh~
A short, cyan spear suddenly pierced the surface of the sea, striking the black-robed old man from behind with lightning speed.
"You coward, all you do is sneak attacks!"
The old man in black robes cursed inwardly, but he wasn't completely unprepared. He immediately channeled his spiritual energy to form a shield about an inch thick around his body.
This is the Xuan Gang Shield, a defensive spell he has cultivated for over a decade. When used at full power, it can withstand attacks from several cultivators of the same level.
Although Chen Ye's appearance was brief, he was still able to detect his cultivation aura.
He was only at the seventh level of the Spirit Condensation Realm. He only managed to kill Feng Yang's nephew through a sneak attack, yet he managed to break through his defenses.
After killing this woman from the Gong family, we'll capture this person and prepare him for a proper ordeal!
boom!
As the black-robed elder had predicted, the cyan short spear was sent flying by the compressed spiritual energy the moment it touched the Xuan Gang Shield, but his expression immediately changed.
"Something's not right, there's something strange about this kid's attack!"
With his heightened spiritual sensitivity, the black-robed elder noticed that the spot where he had been struck seemed to have weakened considerably, as if some unknown energy was eroding his spiritual shield.
Puff puff!
The next moment, a series of beams of energy flashed past, each strike hitting the same spot with pinpoint accuracy. The speed and density of the attacks were so great that even the black-robed elder felt a chill run down his spine.
Even though he tried his best to dodge, this person seemed to have been able to use this finger-flicking technique since birth. No matter how he dodged, he could hit the same point accurately!
Furthermore, the old man in black robes was being held back by Gong Yuechan. If he did not dodge at all costs, Gong Yuechan would surely seize the opportunity to exploit his weakness.
Puff puff!
Sizzle~~
"ah!!"
A searing, burning sensation surged from his back. The black-robed elder screamed as the spiritual energy shield surrounding his body was scorched, creating a large hole.
He quickly increased his spiritual power, but the more he did so, the stronger the burning sensation became.
A slight buzzing sound rang out, and the old man in black robes felt a slight stinging pain on his back, followed by an unbearable itch.
"You little beast, how dare you poison me!"
The old man in black robes roared in anger, and with a furious strike, he knocked away Gong Yuechan from his front, then turned around, intending to deal with this vicious little beast first.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Ye saw him rushing towards him, he dived into the sea like a spirit fish, then used his water manipulation talent to quickly circle behind the black-robed old man and flicked out another spiritual energy finger.
puff~
"what!"
After several such incidents, the black-robed elder's back was covered in blood and gore. It was only because the spiritual energy within the body of a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Condensation stage had liquefied and given him strong endurance that he survived; otherwise, he would have died from the poison like other cultivators.
At this moment, the old man in black robes also realized that if things continued like this, he would be worn down to death by this little beast sooner or later. Anyway, this grudge was on the Gong family's head, and he could get revenge sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.
He gritted his teeth and poured the last of his spiritual power into the blue and red swords, intending to fly away on them.
"Trying to run away?"
How could Chen Ye let him have his way? The enmity had already been formed, and there was no reason for him to let it go!
hum~
A silent wave pierced through the black-robed elder's sea of consciousness. He had only darted a few feet away when his figure suddenly froze in mid-air.
Chen Ye broke through the water and leaped into the air, his Crimson Feather Sword unleashing a violent sword aura that suddenly slashed across the neck of the black-robed old man!
puff~
The old man in black robes had hatred in his eyes. Only now did he recover from the shock to his soul, but it was too late. His head had already been lifted into the air, and his withered and mutilated body was falling towards the sea.
The spiritual energy is fully formed; death!
