Chapter 688: Kill Them All In One Go!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Once the momentum stops, I will not be able to get out of the predicament anymore. I have to keep it going until it ends! Zhong Yue resisted the injuries and faced the attacks from all directions. His mortal body could not remain in the world for too long. And when it returns to the Six Paths Reincarnation, his strength would inevitably be greatly weakened.

By then, these experts would be able to slowly grind him to death!

Suddenly, the lords staggered together and attacked from all directions. These lords learned from their mistakes and no longer went at him alone. Instead, they formed small groups of three to five. The 22 lords divided themselves into six groups and relied on each other.

This way, when Zhong Yue collided with them, he would be clashing with three to five people at a time. Even if he was temporarily bestowed with the Heavenly Deity level’s arcane energy, it was impossible to break the defense of three equally-qualified Qi Practitioners.

Moreover, the other five groups could also support their comrades at any time, making it difficult to inflict any significant damage to the groups.

Zhong Yue attempted to break out but was pushed back into the encirclement every time. He could not help but frown, his mortal body was about to reach its limit. He wouldn’t be able to hold on for any much longer!

He even tried to cast the same skill once again, using the six-eyed Star Toad’s skill to split the space and separate the Qi Practitioners. However, the lords didn’t give him the opportunity. When they saw the six-eyed Star Toad, they immediately withdrew and avoided the skill.

The same tricks wouldn’t work twice on these experts.

Then, I’m left with no choice but to use that skill! Zhong Yue gave a stern yell and burst into the air while the Qi Practitioners were withdrawing from the scene. All of a sudden, the twin sabers were cast out and turned into a black and white [Tai Chi Art], hanging in the air and growing bigger as time passed. Numerous saber rays rained down on a herd of dragons and lunged at the 22 lords!

It was the [Dao Crusher]!

The [God Slaying Three Styles]’s [Dao Crusher] required a powerful deductive ability to calculate the falling point of each saber. These sabers were launched precisely at the opponent’s weak points and were specially targeted at the opponent’s cultivated Dao.

Through the divine calculatory technique, Zhong Yue was able understand the types of Dao and skills the lords had cultivated and specialized in and was able to strike at their weaknesses.

Moreover, the sun and moon of the [Tai Chi Art] imposed a heavy force of pressure that suppressed 22 lords’ mortal bodies and Yuan Shens. Even space was almost slowed to a halt by it!

At the same time, the saber rays of the [Dao Crusher] barraged toward their weaknesses!

“Don’t worry about his saber rays, break the art first!” Pagoda Master shouted.

The 22 lords yelled together, and their skills were launched at the black and white [Tai Chi Art]. Meanwhile, the saber rays rained down and the lords’ blood splattered in the sky.

Bang—

A loud explosion happened in mid-air, the black and white [Tai Chi Art] shuddered violently, and the art was almost shattered. The number of saber rays from the art suddenly fell sharply.

At the same time the [Tai Chi Art] was struck, Zhong Yue’s body shuddered as well and spurted a mouth of blood. Immediately, the threat from [Dao Crusher] to the lords was suddenly waned greatly.

“He is hurt, kill him!” Pagoda Master was overjoyed and shouted, “Again, this time, we will kill him in one strike!”

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue flew up and landed on the black and white [Tai Chi Art]. He stood on the art surface and suddenly bent over, placing his palms on the back of the art. Immediately, the [Tai Chi Art] recovered, its cracks disappeared, and another wave of dragon-like saber rays rained down even stronger.

“Cast!” His inner core flew out into the art, while the two Innate True Spirit, Star Toad and Golden Crow flew into the art. They turned and replaced the moon and sun of the [Tai Chi Art].

The power of the [Tai Chi Art] rose sharply. At the same time, the skills from below bombarded the art and shuddered Zhong Yue’s body full of cracks.

At the same time, he saber rays whirled down like a tornado and lacerated the lords full of wounds!

“Strike him down!” Pagoda Master shouted at the top of his lungs.

Bang!

The lords and Zhong Yue clashed again. Concomitant with a loud explosion, Zhong Yue’s inner core was ragged and fell off from the art in bad shape.

On the other hand, a lord’s head suddenly fell off from his neck and died in the midst of saber rays.

Pagoda Master reached his hands out to the dead body and perished it away into powders. His face grew hideous as he glanced around and shouted, “Don’t give him any chance of blood sacrificing the dead! Come, another time!”

Another loud noise burst in their ears as the lords launched another round of skills at the [Tai Chi Art]. Zhong Yue’s body shuddered violently and the color faded from his face. He started vomiting blood while blood also trickled out of his orifices.

“He can’t hold for much longer!” Pagoda Master was overjoyed as he felt that the pressure in art had lessened and shouted, “One more time, we’ll kill him this time!”

Around him, yet another two lords died under the saber rays. These saber rays were sharp and well-targeted at their weaknesses. A few several saber rays were more than enough to bring death.

Immediately, the other lords around crushed the dead bodies of their comrades. They gave a stern yell and continued to bombard their skills at the [Tai Chi Art].

Another loud burst of noise ravaged the sky. Ther sun and moon in the art were pushed out and beaten back into the True Spirit forms. The Star Toad and Golden Crow returned to Zhong Yue’s eyes, and blood streamed endlessly out of his eyes.

Whereas the [Tai Chi Art] shattered into streams of light that dissipated in thin air.

“He is blind now!” Pagoda Master was also shuddering violently from the aftermath of the collision shouted. When he saw Zhong Yue’s eyes bleeding unceasingly, he couldn’t help but shout happily, “It’s now time to…”

Then, streams of light suddenly gathered around Zhong Yue and turned into a huge blank banner. Suddenly, the six light wheels behind Zhong Yue flew forward and entered the banner.

Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye with godly rays bursting out of it. He waved the banner with sounds of sacred rituals resounding the sky. Countless light wheels surged out from the [Six Soul Banner], every six light wheels stacked together and covered the lords in the center!

The lords fought against the incoming light wheels. Although they were not injured, their blood essence tumbled violently. And it was at that moment that the light wheels were able to contain them in the center.

In their eyes, the surroundings never changed but they were no longer in the same dimension. Faint ghost fire was everywhere and slowly floated upward into a bridge in the sky. The bridge was formed from light rays, and countless souls were moving on the bridge.

“This is… Hell?” A lord screeched in fear. The [Six Soul Banner] opened up a channel that connected the real-world and Hell. The light wheels that contained them didn’t affect their mortal bodies but instead, sent their Yuan Shen into into the dimension where Hell was!

“Don’t think that you can trap me with just a mere Six Paths Reincarnation skill!”

Six of the lords gave a stern yell, and six light wheels emerged behind their head. Their Yuan Shen leaped into the light wheels and returned back to the real-world. When the six lords freed themselves of [Six Soul Banner]’s effect, they quickly looked around and saw Zhong Yue waving the huge banner back and forth with both hands. The other lords’ Yuan Shen were being dragged out of their bodies and into the banner.

The six lords’ hearts turned ice cold. They knew that the other lords’ wouldn’t be able to live once their Yuan Shen fell into the banner. Zhong Yue would send the lords’ Yuan Shen to Hell and trap them there for eternity. They would spend the rest of their days in Hell until their dying moments.

Immediately, they realized that Zhong Yue never betted on the [Dao Crusher] in the first place. The [Dao Crusher] was only bait for them to bite on so that he could quietly find the best time to cast the [Six Soul Banner] and exterminate all of them in one fell swoop!

“13 senior martial brothers’ atmans have already been sent to Hell…” One of the six lords suddenly muttered as color drained from his face. Suddenly, he turned and bolted away without any courage of turning his head back again.

It was as if his fear was contagious, the surviving lords all turned and bolted away into streams of light that disappeared over the horizon. Just as they ran for their lives, Pagoda Master’s body shuddered as a small pagoda appeared above his head. Its emergence protected his Yuan Shen from getting dragged into the [Six Soul Banner].

“Come back, come back you cowards!” Pagoda Master woke up and was infuriated when he saw the lords fleeing from the scene. He shouted furiously, “His one feet is in the grave now, this is nothing more than just his last-ditch effort to scare us away. We can easily kill him, end him once and for all!”

But the six lords turned a deaf ear and dashed away.

“Weaklings, you cowards can never achieve anything great!” Pagoda Master’s dark expression face made him look more hideous than ever as he said, “But it’s good, Blood Bone Evil God, all of your enviable fame will be mine to claim! After killing you, the whole of Ancient Land of God Graves will know of my true power…”

But before he drew any closer to Zhong Yue, he suddenly saw the godly rays shimmering in Zhong Yue’s divine third eye. The godly rays were brimming brighter and that poured a bucket of ice cold water on Pagoda Master’s boiling blood. He abruptly lost the courage to confront Zhong Yue alone and immediately left.

As soon as he left, the godly rays in Zhong Yue’s eyes dimmed. His ruined mortal body suddenly disappeared and he returned to the form of a skeleton body. Then, even his skeleton body collapsed and shattered into little bone pieces.

Bai Canghai quickly flew out of Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen secret realms, and gathered the countless broken bones while Ma Sansou quickly dashed over from a distance away. The two first looked at Zhong Yue’s remains and then looked at one other.

Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen was still here, but his whole body was broken into pieces. If the other Qi Practitioners were in the same condition, they would be long dead already. But what was weird was was that although Zhong Yue was in countless pieces now, he was still alive.

Even Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou didn’t quite understand the situation of the Bone Realm creatures, or how to determine whether they were dead or alive.

“Such a severe injury requires strong spirit herbs to cure.” Ma Sansou winked and said, “Why don’t we go back to the Eight Dragons Dominator Palace and bath him with the jade pool Dao liquid?”

“No…” A weak surge of psyche abruptly pulsed out of Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and sternly rejected Ma Sansou’s suggestion. He would rather die than be thrown a bathing pool that was mixed with urine.

“Don’t worry, the creatures of the Bone Realm have a physical structure that is far different to most others. As long as our souls are not extinguished, even if all the bones are reduced to ash, we will still survive. I can heal my wounds on my own.” Zhong Yue’s psyche was weak as he continued, “Go now, Pagoda Master is a man that always doubts, he will definitely come back and confirm if I am well. And if he comes back and sees me in this state, all three of us will die.”

Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou nodded and they quickly gathered all the bones and left.

It wasn’t long before they left, Pagoda Master reappeared at the scene again. He patrolled around and suddenly sneered, “Surely enough, he is at the end of his rope, otherwise he wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to leave!”

He searched around and his eyes abruptly lit up. He found a hint and immediately followed Zhong Yue’s trail.

Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou carried Zhong Yue’s bones and sprinted for a long time. Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s psyche came saying, “You can drop some of my broken bones on the ground.”

Bai Canghai quickly looked around and saw a three-inch jade bone skeleton standing on top of a pile of broken bones. It was also looking at him.

“Brother Zhong, why are you only left with this?” Bai Canghai stunned and exclaimed in shock.
