"Roar~"
Accompanied by a deafening Dragon roar, countless Sword cries intertwined within it, like a stirring symphony. The Sword Dragon immediately activated the wild Sword Path Gu worms residing within it, and these Gu worms instantly unleashed astonishing power, their effect no less than a Gu Immortal's mortal Immortal Path Killer Move.
This sudden turn of events caught Liu Chen off guard. He felt as if his ears had been struck by a heavy hammer, and a sharp pain surged through them.
However, compared to the minor injury to his ears, what shocked Liu Chen even more was the powerful strength displayed by this Sword Dragon.
"How is this possible?" Liu Chen pondered to himself, "Unless this Sword Dragon has a defensive Immortal Gu hidden on it, it absolutely couldn't have Breakthrough my Immortal Path Killer Move unscathed! Moreover, its offensive power is also exceptionally strong, seemingly amplified by an Immortal Gu. Could it be that this Sword Dragon actually possesses two Immortal Gu?"
Facing such a powerful desolate beast Sword Dragon, Liu Chen couldn't help but inwardly groan in distress. He began to doubt whether his luck was truly so good that a desolate beast would actively deliver two Immortal Gu to him.
In just two rounds, Liu Chen had consumed over twenty green grape immortal essence, which would make other Gu Immortals' hearts ache and bleed.
With the Heavenly Essence Immortal Sword Gu and the heavenly essence treasure imperial lotus (pseudo) Immortal Gu, Liu Chen himself was not lacking in Immortal Essence, so he could recklessly activate Immortal Path Killer Moves in every battle.
However, reality didn't allow him to ponder further; the Sword Dragon's attacks grew fiercer, and Liu Chen had to react quickly.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Suppress Demon!"
Liu Chen roared, and a giant 'just' (zhen, meaning'suppress' or 'correct') character, like a towering mountain, boomed into existence directly above the Sword Dragon's head. This 'just' character emitted dazzling light, carrying unparalleled might, and directly imprinted itself onto the Sword Dragon's body.
In an instant, the Sword Dragon's body was tightly Sealed, unable to move.
The damage from the Sword Path Killer Move to this desolate beast Sword Dragon was almost negligible.
Left with no choice, Liu Chen had to change tactics and unleash Killer Moves from other schools. However, due to the lack of Dao mark amplification, the power of these Killer Moves was naturally far less potent than the Sword Path Killer Moves.
Although the Sword Dragon's movements were temporarily Sealed, the terrifying power still surged within its body, threatening to break through the Seal at any moment.
The Sword Dragon's scales violently trembled, as if it was enduring immense pain and torment. Each of its struggles caused the 'just' character, which maintained the sealing power, to constantly shake and dissipate.
In that fleeting moment, the 'just' character formed by the Suppress Demon Killer Move instantly lost one horizontal and one vertical stroke!
This change was too sudden, catching people off guard.
However, Liu Chen did not panic because of this. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he absolutely could not miss.
Thus, he immediately activated another Killer Move without hesitation—"Immortal Path Killer Move: Formless Hand!"
With this soft cry, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's signature technique once again appeared before everyone's eyes.
In an instant, countless Formless Hands descended like a swarm of locusts from the sky above Liu Chen's immortal aperture, raining down like raindrops.
These Formless Hands seemed both real and illusory, making it difficult to discern their true form. They covered the sky and earth in dense numbers, astonishingly numerous.
However, upon closer inspection, one would find that most of these Formless Hands only had five fingers, and quite a few even had fewer than five. Clearly, the power of these Formless Hands was relatively weak, capable of stealing only mortal Gu.
Yet, among these numerous Formless Hands, one stood out conspicuously—a Formless Hand with six fingers!
This six-fingered Formless Hand was hidden among the other Formless Hands; without careful observation, its existence would be hard to discover.
Undoubtedly, this six-fingered Formless Hand was Liu Chen's true trump card; it could steal Immortal Gu, and its power was naturally not to be underestimated.
These Formless Hands, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, lunged directly at the desolate beast Sword Dragon.
One by one, the open Formless Hands, as if possessing life, precisely grabbed the wild Gu worms on the Sword Dragon's body.
In a blink of an eye, the wild Gu worms caught by the Formless Hands were successfully stolen, and the illusory hands quickly clenched into fists.
These fists streaked across the sky like meteors, hurtling towards Liu Chen at an astonishing speed.
And that six-fingered Formless Hand, capable of stealing Immortal Gu, darted into the Sword Dragon's body like lightning.
In a flash, it too transformed into a fist, flying back towards Liu Chen with lightning speed.
"It's done!"
With an excited shout, Liu Chen's gaze was fixed on the six-fingered Formless Hand. He saw that Formless Hand tightly clenching its fist, and he immediately understood that the six-fingered Formless Hand's Killer Move had successfully stolen the wild Immortal Gu from the Sword Dragon.
However, just as Liu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a deafening roar suddenly erupted. It was the desolate beast Sword Dragon's roar; it was clearly extremely displeased with the six-fingered Formless Hand's Killer Move.
The desolate beast Sword Dragon suddenly struggled violently, its body twisting fiercely as if to break free from its restraints.
In a blink of an eye, the Suppress Demon Killer Move's Seal was easily torn apart by it, the 'just' character completely vanished, and the desolate beast Sword Dragon regained its freedom.
In that instant, the desolate beast Sword Dragon displayed astonishing speed and agility. Its body twisted rapidly like lightning, as if a compressed spring had suddenly released, instantly unleashing powerful force.
As the desolate beast Sword Dragon twisted, a violent gust of wind swept around its body. This gust quickly converged into a massive Sword blade storm. This Sword blade storm was like a giant spinning top, glinting with cold light, as if it could easily tear apart any object.
The desolate beast Sword Dragon's objective was clear: it wanted to destroy these Formless Hands and the Gu worms within them. If this desolate beast Sword Dragon were in the Five Regions, perhaps it could have succeeded; such a Sword blade storm would be enough to instantly crush those Formless Hands and Gu worms.
However, this was not the Five Regions, but within Liu Chen's immortal aperture.
Here, everything was under Liu Chen's control. The moment those Formless Hands successfully stole the Gu worms, they vanished without a trace, directly moved to other locations within the immortal aperture.
Seeing its attack miss and the Formless Hands disappear into thin air, the desolate beast Sword Dragon's rage was instantly ignited. It glared with wide eyes, let out an angry roar, and turned to charge directly at Liu Chen.
Facing the fierce attack of the desolate beast Sword Dragon, Liu Chen showed no fear. He calmly activated his Immortal Path Killer Move, softly uttering, "Immortal Path Killer Move: Sword Shadow Clone!"
As Liu Chen's voice rang out, a faint light suddenly rippled around his body. This light, like water waves, spread out and then quickly condensed into six figures identical to Liu Chen.
