Chapter 90: Desperate Battle!
The attack from the Nine Calamity Sword, infused with its unparalleled sharpness, was immensely powerful! Especially after it had consumed so many rare metals and medicinal materials during this time, its might had reached new heights compared to before!
However, the second elder, being a third rank imperial throne, was a full nine levels higher than Chu Yang. Although his swordsmanship and the quality of his sword moves were far inferior, his deep spiritual energy was not to be underestimated!
Two beams of sword light collided like two meteors! With a loud boom, the sky erupted in dazzling sword light!
The entire Yin Wind Forest trembled violently at that moment; the cement in the swamp surged explosively, leaping up to ten zhang high!
Dong Wushang, Rocky Luo, and Ji Mo, who were closest, let out a pained grunt as they were blasted away by the immense force, crashing to the ground!
Both Chu Yang and the second elder shouted out simultaneously, their bodies sent flying backward. Blood arrows erupted from various parts of both their bodies, and with this strike, both were severely injured!
Chu Yang was struck in the chest, shoulder, thigh, dantian, lower abdomen, and shoulder, while the second elder spurted blood from his chest, shoulder, thigh, and arms!
In mid-air, Chu Yang had already escaped a pre-prepared incomplete ninefold pill and shoved it into his mouth! Just in this brief battle that lasted less than a breath, Chu Yang had already consumed two incomplete ninefold pills!
This highlighted the ferocity of the battle!
Without the ninefold pills, it could be imagined that Chu Yang would have at least died once by now!
He had the ninefold pills, but the second elder did not possess such a divine object. The intensity of this attack caused the field power around the second elder to completely dissipate, and his spiritual energy shield vanished without a trace!
Such a life-saving method, even for an imperial throne, consumed a massive amount of true essence with each use. In such a fierce battle, where was the time or the courage to activate the field again?
Before the second elder's body could land, Gu Duxing, who had just retreated to prepare, had already achieved body-sword unity, shooting forth sword light that pierced the air, charging towards the still-retreating body of the second elder like lightning!
Sensing the crisis, the second elder let out a loud roar, fiercely circulating all his remaining spiritual energy. Instantly, several wounds on his body spurted blood violently, but he managed to hold on to a breath of life. With his spiritual power revitalized, he clashed once more in mid-air with Gu Duxing!
This was the desperate strike of a third rank sword king!
The second elder fought back with all his might, and the two collided fiercely! Both shouted out in agony!
Gu Duxing gritted his teeth, feeling numb as he flew backward in the air, blood spraying from three places on his body, having been brutally injured by the second elder's fists and fingers. Seven of his ribs were broken! His entire chest nearly caved in, but the Black Dragon long sword in his hand was drenched in blood to the hilt!
His sword had deeply pierced the second elder's right chest, but he was repelled by the counterattack.
The second elder staggered back, seriously wounded!
At this moment, Dong Wushang roared like a hungry wolf, achieving unity of man and blade, charging in!
The recently recovered Ji Mo and Rocky Luo also achieved body-sword unity, following behind Dong Wushang to launch a frenzied assault on the second elder!
The attack patterns of the three were the same as Gu Duxing's earlier: they were fighting with reckless abandon, pouring all their power, heart, soul, and life into this attack!
If the second elder did not die, they would certainly perish!
This was a clear intent!
Thus, they had to seize the opportunity to take his life while he was weak!
In the distance, Chu Yang shouted loudly, leaped up, and with a flash of the Nine Calamity Sword, executed another strike of "slaughtering the world" without hesitation! He soared through the air, controlling his sword!
