Chapter 51: Blood Curse
The Golden Light Mantra was much stronger than when I sensed it last time; it had already reached the minor completion stage.
How much progress has he made in such a short time!
For a flesh-and-blood martial artist, this is truly not easy.
At this moment, Wu He completely ignored her. After beheading the female shaman, he turned around and looked at the Khitan soldier holding the sword, who was also at the late stage of the Flesh Refining Realm.
……
The ancestral hall is now in ruins.
A dark purple hurricane swept wildly for hundreds of meters around, its terrifying power forcibly forcing the silver-armored figure back.
After flipping several times in the air, Zhao Guangyi steadied himself and looked down from mid-air.
As the hurricane subsided, the nine shamans chanted in unison, their positions forming a tight and peculiar array. Black sorcery intertwined and entangled, effectively blocking Zhao Guangyi, who was at the Five Elements Realm of Open Source, from advancing an inch.
Inside the formation, Wen Xin smashed the ceramic jar with several palm strikes, held the bronze cauldron in his hands, and quickly completed the final step of his spell.
The dark purple liquid inside was shrinking and condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Guangyi squinted slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
Until Wen Xin shouted, black flames shot up from the cauldron, the bronze cauldron shattered, and a palm-sized amount of holy medicine automatically poured into the black jade gourd.
"Form ranks."
Where Zhao Guangyi's spear pointed, the numerous Imperial Guards below quickly took their positions, with Zhang Lin and other disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion among them. As they swept their whisks, golden light began to shimmer on each Imperial Guard.
In an instant, an ancient and vast aura of killing intent resounded.
"kill!"
With the support of their formidable battle formation, the soldiers charged fearlessly toward the Khitan shamans.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Guangyi charged straight at Wen Xin!
At this moment, having completed the preparation of the sacred medicine, he showed no reluctance to continue the battle. With a flick of his wide sleeves, countless silver needles silently shot out.
With a sweep of his spear, Zhao Guangyi unleashed a powerful gust of wind that cleaved them all in two.
However, this delay allowed Wen Xin to descend into the pit.
"How could I tolerate you!"
He charged in, gun in hand!
Before long, the ground suddenly cracked open, followed by a series of explosions, blasting numerous Khitan soldiers and shamans into the air.
Two figures flew out one after the other.
They soared into the night sky, locked in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, the commotion here also caught Wu He's attention.
He looked this way, and at the same time, he swiftly pulled his fist out of the Khitan soldier's arms, tearing out the bloody internal organs and flesh.
[Progress completed (Great Mastery of Dragon Slayer): 300/400]
"Open source five palaces, reaching the heavens and descending to the earth."
"A realm that one yearns for."
Wu He picked up his Plum Blossom Knife from the side, feeling a little sentimental.
After the fourth level of Body Tempering, one enters the Realm of Open Source and Five Palaces, where one begins to cultivate the inner core of the five internal organs and master the true power of transcendence.
I still have a long way to go.
At that moment, a figure flashed across the battlefield and was precisely spotted by Wu He.
Because the direction he fled was the very place that his own Hai-character camp was guarding.
Moreover, judging from his speed and aura, he far surpassed the Body Refining Realm and was clearly a Bone Strengthening Realm martial artist!
Wu He felt a slight tremor in his heart and immediately gripped his long sword, chasing after them.
A martial artist at the Strong Bone Realm is someone his subordinates absolutely cannot stop, and if he lets him go, he will definitely be accused of dereliction of duty.
After all, he was not a key player in this battle.
However, just as he was giving chase, another group of people suddenly rushed out from a distance and blocked the Khitan soldier.
It was Wang Chen and Du Jianlian, among others!
[Progress completed (Flying Geese Technique Mastery): 103/400]
Wu He glanced at the She Tian Ce, but just as he turned his gaze back to the Khitan soldier, he was surprised to see that Wang Chen and the others were all frozen in place, letting the Khitan soldier pass by.
Their eyes were unfocused, and they all made gestures as if they were about to attack, but they didn't make any further moves.
"This is……"
Wu He squinted and noticed that there was a thin mist between them, and that the Khitan soldiers were still swinging blood-red rattles in their hands as they fled.
Shaman!
He was startled, realizing that this was a shaman disguised as a Khitan soldier.
Wang Chen and the others were clearly caught off guard and fell into the trap. Even he, who was at the Strong Bone Realm, found it difficult to resist this kind of witchcraft.
This shaman is most likely at the level of strengthening bones.
Wu He gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and recklessly sped up to catch up.
Whoosh!
The shaman Balizhe, who was running for his life, heard a noise behind him and turned around in surprise, only to see a figure quickly chasing after him.
He immediately followed suit and turned the rattle drum.
But unexpectedly, at the same time, golden light shone from that person's body.
Xiao Cheng's Golden Light Mantra!
Bali Zhe's heart tightened, and he quickly increased his magical power, wanting to defeat the pursuers in one fell swoop.
But to his utter surprise, even though the magical power emanating from his rattle drum was almost solidified, the golden light spell of the pursuers just wouldn't dissipate, remaining incredibly hard.
The primordial Qi is so powerful!
Bali Zhe then realized what was happening, but it was too late.
Wu He had already charged forward with his sword drawn, his back muscles taut to the limit, and his entire body muscles silently bursting with power.
Golden light converged into the Plum Blossom Blade, and the Thunderclap Blade Technique faintly emitted a thunderous sound.
This strike was Wu He's strongest attack ever!
……
Beyond the battlefield, in a mountain valley a hundred miles away.
puff!
The jade-green spear, thrusting through the air, pierced deeply into Wen Xin's chest, its terrifying force pinning him to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"Cough cough~"
Wen Xin coughed up blood, his hands gripping the silver needles as he was about to throw them, when two palm strikes shattered his wrists.
Click~
In the end, it slumped down, powerless and limp.
"As a doctor, you are very capable."
"But it's not strong enough."
Zhao Guangyi slowly descended from the sky, his cold face filled with disdainful eyes.
Wen Xin leaned back as if resigned to his fate: "I lost..."
"Good to know, give me the things."
"...What is it?"
Zhao Guangyi stopped wasting words and went straight to search his body, finally finding the black jade gourd at his waist.
Holding it in his hand, Zhao Guangyi's usually calm eyes trembled violently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
Wen Xin stared at him coldly.
"Heh, you really have a way with things, able to concoct such a strange medicine. Such talent, what a pity."
Zhao Guangyi looked solemn as he carefully examined the black jade gourd. But the next second, the black jade gourd shattered into numerous small fragments.
Inside, there was only clear water.
"Hahaha!"
As Zhao Guangyi's face froze, Wen Xin burst into laughter, blood gushing from his mouth.
"Fool! You think you're Li Cunxu, the Prince of Jin back in the day? Hahaha!"
"You want to use the dragon vein to become the founding emperor? Don't you even know if you're cut out for it?!"
"Zhao Guangyi".
Wen Xin's eyes gleamed with madness, and black energy emanated from his body: "With my ashes, I offer this sacrifice to the Eternal Heaven: I will seize your founding dragon aura, bind your limbs and kill each other, turn blood relatives into enemies, and make your rebellion a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your imperial enterprise will ultimately return to withered bones in the shadows!"
……
puff~
Wu He punched Ba Lizhe through the heart, and the battle finally came to an end.
"Hehe~"
When Bali Zhe collapsed, Wu He also collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his face deathly pale, with a gruesome wound on his waist.
Beside him, the Plum Blossom Blade had been broken in two, and fragments of armor were scattered all over the ground.
After all, he was a shaman at the Strong Bone Realm. No matter how powerful Wu He's abilities were, it was extremely difficult for him to kill someone beyond his level.
"You can't play like that anymore..."
His heart was pounding, but he forced himself to endure the excruciating pain and tore off a piece of cloth to bandage his wound.
At this moment, the Book of Heavenly Debt was shining brightly.
[Progress completed (Great Mastery of Dragon Slayer): 400/400]
"It's done!"
Wu He was overjoyed upon seeing this.
Having forcefully killed a high-level enemy, the remaining debt of the Collapsing Dragon Force has been made up for with 100 progress points.
Once we get back, we can get an advance on the martial arts techniques for the Bone Strengthening Realm.
Cultivation level is the foundation of all combat power, so Wu He was extremely satisfied with this achievement, feeling that all the risky adventures had been worthwhile.
He then stood up, turned over Nabalizhe's body, and took all the silver, weapons, and other valuables.
And, an exquisite black jade gourd.
"What is this?"
Wu He picked it up out of curiosity.
