Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 285 - 240: The Greatest Divine Skill is this Sword Spirit

Endless gorges crumbled down!

Jiao Zhu was oppressed from mid-air and slammed into the Red Port Land!

The heavy passes were utterly a natural moat being crushed, even the vast Red Tide that swept over from the Dark Domain was flattened by the Cangxia falling from the sky.

The Red Port Saint Sect, which had long been razed to the ground, sank, revealing a terrifying Earth Cave.

The Holy Sect Disciples stood outside this Earth Cave, created by a single punch, already scared out of their wits.

Among them, several astute Disciples now even showed a look of surviving a calamity, grateful that they had slacked off when besieging Wu Hen earlier. Otherwise, had this punch been delivered on their worthless bodies, perhaps not even ashes would be left!

Cai Ni leaned against a collapsed stone wall, tending to her wounds. As she looked up at the sky again and saw that familiar figure, her eyes were filled with disbelief...

His strength continued to upend her previous understanding.

Recalling her own arrogance and disdain over the past nearly one year, she felt even more ashamed.

Her brother’s strength was clearly on par with that of the Master.

If it had been any other disciple of the Holy Sect, like Gu Yue, Qing Meng, Jiao Liecheng, they would have probably become wildly arrogant by now, killing anyone who displeased them, but her brother had always been forbearing until now... If it weren’t for her nearly being humiliated, he would likely not have easily exposed himself.

Wuwuwu, she was truly inhumane in the past, how could she have treated her brother so terribly.

"Father, have you recovered your breath??" Cai Ni immediately asked Cai Huang.

"Hmm, I never expected that this skirmish would clear a tenth of the congestion in my meridians," Cai Huang nodded. He looked at his daughter, realizing that her arm was dislocated.

"Jiao Zhu must have been injured, we can’t give him a chance to catch his breath," Cai Ni said.

"You don’t need to teach me how to handle things!" Cai Huang retorted irritably.

Combat was a necessity in the cultivation of the Holy Sect, and Cai Huang himself realized it was indeed too cowardly of him to have lost the vigor that a Holy Sect Cultivator should have, making it natural for his blood to clot easily!

At this point, he could no longer shrink back.

Today, Jiao Zhu must die!

Of course, the display of strength by Wu Hen also greatly boosted Cai Huang’s confidence.

He was self-centered, and also profit-driven. Once he saw the opportunity to take down Jiao Zhu who had been oppressing him, how could he possibly shrink back?

One must know that the Spiritual Factors of Otherworldly Dust are finite. He, Jiao Zhu, and Xin Feng are all stuck at First-class Heavenly Brilliance, and right before them is a Dragon Gate within reach. Once leaped over, this gate will close for the others as well.

Hence, for beings truly desiring to ascend to the Hua Chen Realm, those at the same Evolution Chain Gate are actually competitors. Some merciless individuals are even willing to eliminate those at the same realm as themselves, to achieve the ultimate goal of Evolution Ascension.

Jiao Zhu wanted to kill him for this reason.

However, Jiao Zhu did not anticipate the variable that was Wu Hen, including Cai Huang himself.

"Jiao Zhu, your Crystal Formation is half-baked. Compared to that powerful elder in our family, it’s utterly laughable!" Cai Huang said.

Below the Earth Cave, Jiao Zhu slowly climbed to his feet, surrounded by a large scatter of Blood Crystal debris.

Unless Cai Huang cared about the youngster’s life and refrained from casting it, then he would have effectively nullified one of Cai Huang’s abilities, turning the tide in his favor!

Jiao Zhu thought this plan was feasible, so he deliberately exposed a flaw to make his opponent think they could injure him.

This flaw was sold masterfully. He used his pinkie to crush the annoying Ominous Bronze Spear and then stepped into the black river current.

Once his movements were hindered, the opponent would surely come slashing with the sword, and then he could use the Golden Blood Cage to trap him.

With his left palm half-clenched, resembling an upside-down cage, Jiao Zhu stared at Wu Hen with his blood-red eyes, waiting for him to strike with his sword, a hit he even deemed worth sustaining an injury!

The sword light was like ink, silent yet extremely sharp.

The pitch-black Ancient Sword still slashed over. Jiao Zhu was delighted in his heart. If he could break this joint offensive from the two, he was very confident he could kill one of them.

His left hand flipped swiftly, and blood columns surged up suddenly, converging above Jiao Zhu to form a Golden Blood Cage.

At the same time, Jiao Zhu forcibly twisted his body to dodge the incoming sword. The sword grazed his shoulder, bringing a piercing cold chill that made Jiao Zhu grimace in pain."

He turned around, and his palm shaped into a tiger’s claw reaching for the back of the sword hilt. At this distance, even a Hua Chen Realm powerhouse would not be able to escape his grasp...

But as his tiger’s claw dug in, there was nothing behind the sword hilt?

Jiao Zhu looked up, and in the instant the sword light disappeared, he saw that Wu Hen was still in the same spot from before; it was only his sword that had struck!

After the Sword Spirit slashed open his shoulder, it circled around to his back to slash at him!

A dark sword valley formed suddenly. Jiao Zhu couldn’t believe it and it was already too late to dodge. A deep wound was opened across his back, and blood gushed out from the wound."

For Jiao Zhu, who specialized in bloodline techniques, every drop of essence blood was a source of his power. Once it leaked from the wound in the form of fresh blood, it equated to weakening his core strength!

Jiao Zhu was taken aback and hurriedly parried off the peculiar Sword Spirit with his arm, then hastily fled into the distance.

"Your greatest superpower is this Sword Spirit!" Jiao Zhu realized belatedly, and raged.

However, Wu Hen just smiled.

He wasn’t foolish enough to truly consider Cai Huang a comrade in life and death.

If there was a chance, Cai Huang would definitely be more than willing to kill him along with Jiao Zhu, so that no one could threaten him...

Taking this factor into account, Wu Hen couldn’t possibly engage in a life-or-death battle with Jiao Zhu. He had to be on guard against Cai Huang.

"Whoosh~"

The Sword of Death Omen returned to Wu Hen’s hand, and he immediately began to control his breathing.

In fact, Wu Hen had another divine skill in his left hand, a powerful move left to him by his late wife from his previous life, the Nine Palaces Lotus.

But Wu Hen would definitely not use it while the outcome of the battle was still unclear.

"Ol’Bastard Cai Huang, don’t let me down. Even if you don’t blast Jiao Zhu to death, you’d better leave him severely crippled!"
