Kaka rushed up, caught Feng Yuanzheng's upper body, pulled out a syringe, and injected it directly into Feng Yuanzheng.
"Boss, why are you like Frieza from Namek?" Kaka joked. "Got cut in half by a Destructo Disc?"
"Damn you!" Feng Yuanzheng was furious. "Where's my lower body?"
"Coming, the lower body is coming!" Not far away, Feng Jianye was clutching one leg, carrying Feng Yuanzheng's lower body, and sprinting towards them.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll reattach your leg right away!"
Yagyu Killing God, in the sky, coldly watched this scene and raised his right hand.
"Want to reattach a leg? Go to hell!"
He waved his right hand, and a tens-of-meters-long saber light struck down from the sky towards Feng Jianye.
Just as the saber light was about to strike Feng Jianye, Feng Jianye's body suddenly shifted horizontally, appearing five steps to the left as if teleporting, and the saber light sliced past him.
"Hahahaha, you thought I only knew how to defend? Got fooled, you idiot!"
Feng Jianye laughed loudly, flipped a middle finger at the sky, and continued to rush forward with his head down.
"Dodge? Let's see where you'll dodge!"
Yagyu Killing God, descended from the sky, his Killing Intent chilling.
"Damn it! He really thinks I'm a pushover!"
Feng Jianye turned around, raised his right hand, and a light wall immediately appeared in front of him.
"Clang!"
Yagyu Killing God's palm-saber struck the light wall, generating rhomboid light patterns that completely dispersed Yagyu Killing God's power.
Yagyu Killing God's eyes narrowed, and he raised his arm to strike down with another palm, which was still blocked by the wall of light.
Feng Jianye's body shook, and his running steps became somewhat unsteady.
"Let's see how many times you can block!"
Yagyu Killing God, let out a cold laugh, raised his right hand a third time, saber light gathered, and he struck down fiercely.
However, at that instant, Yagyu Killing God's descending right hand suddenly changed direction, swinging backward, simultaneously turning his entire body backward.
Whoosh!
Crack!
The palm-saber cut through the air with a violent whooshing sound, then collided with a rapidly incoming wooden spear, instantly severing it. Its momentum undiminished, the saber light flew straight towards the direction the wooden spear had come from.
A finger flicked, striking precisely on the incoming saber light.
With a "Boom!" sound, the half-meter-long saber light was shattered into dust by that flick!
"You're not dead yet?" Yagyu Killing God, looked at the person slowly rising from the giant pit, his gaze growing even colder.
"Why do you damned Central Plains people always refuse to just die peacefully?"
"Are you an idiot?" Zhou Ming looked at Yagyu Killing God, with disdain. "Why don't you want to die yourself?"
At this moment, Zhou Ming's appearance was greatly different from his usual self. His legs had transformed into gnarled tree roots, deeply embedded in the earth. Under the effect of the Deep Root Gu, his developed root system continuously absorbed a massive amount of Earth Qi, providing Zhou Ming with an endless supply of power.
His long hair flowed like a waterfall, drifting back over three meters, adorned with lush green leaves. His hands were slender and long, his fingers like vines, twisting bonelessly and freely. His skin had a completely woody texture, embellished with flowers and leaves. He looked more like a bizarre wooden sculpture than a human.
"Come on, while I still have time, let's have a good fight."
A strange smile appeared on Zhou Ming's wooden face. He raised his hands, and a green halo enveloped him as the ground violently churned.
"Killing Move, Lone Tree Forms a Forest!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless tree roots, as thick as stone pillars, burst from the earth. Soil and rocks churned, the earth shook incessantly, and the entire mountain rumbled, shattering and collapsing. Root after root shot into the sky, rapidly covered in rough brown bark, then sprouted tender buds, grew branches, bore green leaves, and bloomed with flower buds, which quickly flowered and bore fruit.
It was as if this entire area had been put on fast-forward; hundreds of years passed quickly here. In the blink of an eye, a vast forest, covering the original mountain, had fully grown!
"Come and die."
Zhou Ming stood in the center of the forest, on the largest tree, and waved at Yagyu Killing God. That enormous tree was so vast that its canopy alone covered a hundred-meter radius, a true marvel.
"Hmph, ghostly tricks, what can they do to me? Man-Saber Fusion!"
Yagyu Killing God, once again transformed into a giant saber, like a Saber of Heavenly Punishment, descending from the sky, intending to cleanse the eight directions of the mortal world, sweep away everything, utterly domineering.
Zhou Ming lightly raised his hands, and the Gu in his Aperture were frantically activated.
"Killing Move, City - Spring Grass and Trees Grow Deep!"
Within the Aperture, the stony Aperture wall was covered with cracks and ravines. The deepest and longest one extended from the top all the way to the bottom. The True Essence sea churned, raising monstrous waves. True Essence continuously emerged from the cracked areas of the Aperture wall, only to be consumed immediately, in turn stimulating the production of more True Essence.
The power of the Forest Sea Reincarnation Body was pushed to its limit. The stone Aperture, reaching its final stage, could no longer maintain stability. The surging True Essence brought terrifying pressure, further shattering the stone Aperture while also accelerating the Aperture's recovery, bringing Zhou Ming closer to death.
When the last of the stone Aperture receded, and the full power of the Ten Extreme Physique was unleashed, it would also be the moment the Aperture could no longer bear the load and self-destructed, and simultaneously, the moment of Zhou Ming's demise!
But now, Zhou Ming still had a final bit of time.
The moment the City - Spring Grass and Trees Grow Deep Killing Move was completed, the power of the Every Plant a Soldier Gu also spread throughout the entire forest with the Killing Move.
The Every Plant a Soldier Gu could transform all flowers, plants, and trees within a certain range around the Gu Master into the Gu Master's means of attack.
At this very moment, this Rank Four Gu, under the enhancement of multiple factors, had completely surpassed the upper limit of a Rank Four Gu's effect.
The entire forest—all trees, flowers, plants, vines, fruits, and even seeds—all transformed into attacks surging towards the giant saber descending from the sky.
Heaven and earth trembled!
The brilliant saber light stirred the wind and clouds, covering an area of hundreds of li, forming an incredibly thick Saber Intent rainbow, as magnificent as the great sun, dazzling and blinding. The sharpness of the saber light made it impossible to look at directly.
Countless attacks rising from the earth struck the thick, overlapping saber light, as if heaven and earth were merging, all things returning to Chaos. Light and shadows twisted, everything became indistinct.
The space where both sides mutually annihilated each other became a forbidden zone. Saber light collapsed, life was extinguished, and all spirits withered.
Zhou Ming gazed at the battlefield, which resembled a forbidden zone for living beings, knowing in his heart that, under normal circumstances, this had already become a battle of attrition. Whoever couldn't hold on first would face death next.
However, at this moment, Zhou Ming had actually reached his limit—the limit of his Aperture.
The stone membrane on the Aperture wall had completely receded, transforming back into a Rank Four Peak crystal membrane. However, that crystal membrane was also immediately covered in cracks, on the verge of exploding the Aperture, turning to dust, leaving no corpse behind.
"Tsk, it's finally come to this moment."
Zhou Ming sighed softly, and with a thought, he activated the Gu within his body.
Yin-Yang Reversal Gu!
From the Aperture, which had reached its limit and was about to explode, a pair of Gu suddenly flew out.
They were two light clusters, one black and one white, chasing each other in circles, forming a Tai Chi light sphere.
With a thought from Zhou Ming, the Tai Chi light sphere immediately disintegrated. The Gu radiating a black light cluster flew up, unleashing the power of Yin and Yang creation.
In a lush, ancient forest on a mountain, a black light pillar suddenly lit up, shooting straight into the sky, standing between heaven and earth, stirring up changing winds and clouds, altering the colors of heaven and earth, forming a massive vortex of airflow.
At the center of the vortex, vigorous life force erupted. Plants grew wildly, and lush greenery abounded.
The black light pillar disappeared, and the vortex gradually subsided.
A graceful and beautiful figure, a lithe body, shimmered within the vortex.
When the vortex finally dissipated, Zhou Ming slowly walked out from within.
Dressed in white robes purer than snow, with hair like a waterfall of black silk, her pearly white skin glowed with a faint halo in the sunlight, as if a Fairy had stepped out of a painting. Every gesture, every smile, was captivating.
The Yin-Yang Reversal Gu, a Rank Four Gu, had the effect of bringing one back to life. Its side effects included a ten percent reduction in Aptitude, and… gender transformation.
A man using the black Gu to Rebirth once would become a woman; a woman using the white Gu to Rebirth once would become a man.
And now, Zhou Ming, reborn and transformed, had thus become a woman.
"Sword, come."
She parted her red lips slightly and gently beckoned downwards.
"Captain, catch the sword!"
Qin Wumeng threw the Nine Yin Profound Heaven Sword in her hand, controlling it with telekinesis to fly towards Zhou Ming.
Buzz!
Between heaven and earth, a clear and resonant sword cry echoed.
The Nine Yin Profound Heaven Sword flew backward, directly into the sky, its hilt falling straight into Zhou Ming's hand, where she grasped it firmly.
Zhou Ming gently stroked the sword body with her index and middle fingers of both hands. The longsword vibrated, and its melodious cry conveyed a clear sense of joy.
"Hehe, what a good sword."
Zhou Ming let out a light laugh, her laughter like silver bells, clear and pleasant to the ear. She looked up at Yagyu Killing God, her beautiful willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, instantly evoking infinite pity, making one want to smooth them for her.
"Yagyu Killing God, I wonder if you can take one sword strike from me?"
Zhou Ming raised her sword. There was no Sword Move or Sword Intent, just a simple, unextraordinary sword thrust.
And then, an indescribable radiance.
A sword beyond this realm, the radiant glow of Sword Intent!
That one sword!
Infinitely brilliant, a sword of ultimate sublimation!
"How beautiful."
Facing this sword, Yagyu Killing God, seemed to abandon all resistance. His body and mind were completely immersed in this supremely dazzling light, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
The sword light rose, the sword light fell.
The wind was calm, the waves still.
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
Yagyu Killing God, slowly turned around.
"What is this sword called?"
Zhou Ming withdrew her sword and smiled enchantingly.
"This sword originally had no name, but since it's the sword that kills you, the Overlord Saber, it now has a name: Thanos."
"Thanos?" A crack quietly appeared on Yagyu Killing God's face. "A strange name."
Crack crack!
Yagyu Killing God's body was like porcelain, its surface shattered with countless cracks, dense and crisscrossing like a spiderweb, as if it would completely shatter and explode in the next moment.
"Too bad, this move is destined to have a different name!"
Zhou Ming's eyes narrowed, and she raised her sword again.
"It's not that easy to kill me!"
Yagyu Killing God, drew a long saber from his wide sleeve.
It was the adamantium alloy blade that Yagyu Killing God, had dropped when he first used Man-Saber Fusion to cut down Zhou Ming. He hadn't expected that saber to somehow end up in Yagyu Killing God's possession.
The moment she saw this saber, Zhou Ming's pupils constricted, and the Nine Yin Profound Heaven Sword was thrust out again without hesitation.
"Hahahahaha, Man-Saber Fusion!"
Yagyu Killing God, laughed uproariously, looking up at the sky. The next moment, he was engulfed by a dense, waterfall-like torrent of white Sword Qi.
