Golden light shone brilliantly, as dazzling as the scorching sun in the sky, emitting a heart-palpitating and powerful Soul Pressure, as if the entire world was enveloped by this force.
And the man standing in the center of this golden light was none other than Qin Baisheng. His posture was as upright as a pine tree, his gaze sharp as lightning, and his entire body radiated an incomparable Aura of majesty, like a god of war descending upon the world.
At this moment, Qin Baisheng was suppressing the Lang Ya Earth Spirit before him with the posture of a sovereign ruling the world. The Soul Pressure blooming from his body left everyone breathless; even those experts who usually held themselves in high regard could not help but feel a sense of awe when facing such terrifying Soul Pressure.
"Qin Baisheng's soul foundation is so strong!" Liu Chen marveled inwardly from the side. Although he possessed a large number of Guts Gu that could be used to strengthen his own soul foundation, compared to Qin Baisheng, it was like a small wizard meeting a great one.
Qin Baisheng also displayed the foundation of a demon venerables split soul; even without the accumulation of Guts Gu, his soul foundation far exceeded other Gu Immortals.
After all, Liu Chen had not mastered the true method of refining the soul, so when facing Qin Baisheng, he could at most barely resist the other's Soul Pressure and could not completely ignore his presence.
This gap made Liu Chen deeply realize what soul strength meant for a cultivator. Furthermore, he currently possessed the System's reinforcement; he just lacked the time to digest these foundations.
Just then, Qin Baisheng suddenly made a strange movement: he clenched both hands into fists, raising one high above his head while placing the other in front of his chest. Then, he lowered his head and began to ponder, as if showing weakness or admitting defeat to an enemy. Even more bizarre was that at this moment, Qin Baisheng did not release any Qi at all, as if he had turned into an ordinary Mortal.
"What's going on?
Seeing this scene, the Inkman King Mo Tanson, who had been in a state of high tension, suddenly became restless.
"Watch out! That's the Five Finger Fist Heart Sword!" The sharp-eyed Liu Chen immediately noticed the anomaly and shouted loudly without hesitation.
"Five Finger Fist Heart Sword!"
Lang Ya Earth Spirit's heart jolted violently, his face filled with horror.
He naturally knew what this Move meant—this was the strongest killer Move once used by the Pseudo-Immortal Venerable Bo Qing when he traversed the Five Regions and was invincible throughout the world!
At this moment, facing such a terrifying Move, Lang Ya Earth Spirit had no time to think and could only immediately execute the fastest defensive killer Move he could activate.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Primordial Shield!"
In an instant, a mass of black and white cloud Qi, so dense it wouldn't dissipate, surged forth like a tide and quickly condensed into an indestructible giant shield in front of the three of them.
However, unexpectedly, at this time, Qin Baisheng, with his fist raised high and clenched, directly extended one finger.
Instantly, a dazzling and brilliant sword light suddenly erupted. Its brightness was a hundred times more intense than the sun!
Even more shocking was that the power contained in this sword light was so astonishing that it took only an instant to forcibly cleave a large hole in that seemingly flawless Primordial Shield!
At the same time, because the speed was too fast, Lang Ya Earth Spirit, who was hidden within the Primordial Shield, was pushed by Liu Chen. He avoided his vitals at the critical moment, but his right arm was ruthlessly pierced by the Sword Qi!
Not only that, but Cloud Cover Continent, affected by the aftershocks, was directly torn with a deep gully by the Sword Qi. Through the rift, one could faintly see the even more vast world below—there were winding Dragons, birds soaring in the sky, towering mountains, surging oceans, and countless Hairy Men towns and kingdoms of various sizes.
"Ah~~!"
Accompanied by a piercingly shrill scream, Lang Ya Earth Spirit tightly clutched his injured right arm, his body trembling involuntarily, his face full of pain.
Mo Tanson, who was nearby, was also terrified by the scene. He stared wide-eyed with horror at the Lang Ya Earth Spirit being attacked not far ahead and at Qin Baisheng, who was preparing to launch a new round of offensive. He thought to himself: "What a powerful killer Move... with our current strength, it's simply impossible to withstand such great power... I'm afraid even if we go all out, it would be absolutely difficult to escape death!"
Sure enough, Qin Baisheng slowly extended another finger from his clenched right hand.
In an instant, a sharp and matchless Sword Intent erupted, sweeping toward Lang Ya Earth Spirit like surging waves. It was clear that this next sword strike would be many times more terrifying and fierce than any previous one.
Seeing the situation was extremely critical, Mo Tanson could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly turned to shout at Lang Ya Earth Spirit: "Land Spirit! Hurry up and think of something! This guy is about to release the second sword! If we don't take action, we're all finished!"
However, at this moment, Lang Ya Earth Spirit was already heavily injured, and the Sword Qi inside his body was difficult to dispel. How could he have any countermeasure?
Just as everyone thought everything was about to end, a figure suddenly shot out rapidly from beneath Cloud Cover Continent, arriving beside Lang Ya Earth Spirit in the blink of an eye.
"Old Ancestor, I have come to protect you!"
This person was a Hairy Men Gu Immortal with a Rank Seven cultivation Realm. With a loud shout, he fully activated various defensive killer Moves, standing in front of Lang Ya Earth Spirit to block this Sword Qi for him!
Following that, six figures, like ghosts, sped out from beneath Cloud Cover Continent, arriving in front of that Hairy Men Gu Immortal in an instant.
Unexpectedly, these six people completely disregarded the current scene and atmosphere, and they all began to wail loudly. Tears poured down like a bursting dam, and some Hairy Men Gu Immortals even cried until they fainted.
Although he successfully blocked Qin Baisheng's incredibly sharp second sword, that Hairy Men Gu Immortal ultimately could not escape death and had already lost his life to the Yellow Springs. However, at this moment, facing this sudden change, the other Hairy Men Gu Immortals seemed to have completely lost their reason, only caring about their sorrowful crying.
"All of you, shut the hell up!"
Seeing this, Liu Chen was instantly enraged and harshly rebuked the Hairy Men Gu Immortal who was wailing loudly.
Then, he activated Person as Before (Imitation) and lightly flicked a finger toward that Rank Seven Hairy Men Gu Immortal who had just perished.
In an instant, the Rank Seven Hairy Men Gu Immortal, who had been completely devoid of life, actually slowly opened his eyes and regained his life!
"Man as Before?" Lang Ya Earth Spirit, who had been watching from the side for a long time, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock upon seeing this. He stared at the imitation immortal gu in Liu Chen's hand that was emitting a faint light and murmured to himself: "As expected, even the imitation immortal gu refined by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable has ultimately fallen into your hands."
However, Liu Chen did not intend to expose his true strength and trump cards at this moment.
He frowned slightly and said in a heavy tone: "Although I can use Man as Before to bring him back to life, the remaining sword path dao marks in his body are truly too troublesome. With my current ability, I cannot yet properly resolve this issue."
Hearing this, the Hairy Men Gu Immortals who were originally immersed in grief immediately turned their tears into smiles, overjoyed.
One of the Hairy Men Gu Immortals was so excited he almost jumped up, repeatedly muttering: "Great, Da Mao has finally come back to life!"
Another one praised Liu Chen with deep gratitude: "You truly are our savior!"
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became exceptionally cheerful and lively, as if that previous life-and-death parting had never happened.
