11: Jie Xiu 2

The Ice Spike Talisman was activated first! An ice spike, a foot long and radiating bone-chilling cold, shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, directly at the chest of the Cultivator in mid-air! Its speed was as fast as lightning!

The Cultivator snorted coldly, and the small bronze shield floating in front of him flashed with yellow light, instantly enlarging by several points, steadily blocking in front of the ice spike!

Bang!

The ice spike crashed into the thick, earthy yellow light screen, instantly exploding into a sky full of ice shards, with cold air overflowing, but it failed to shake the light screen in the slightest!

"Insignificant trick!" The Cultivator sneered.

However, just as the ice shards exploded, instantly obscuring his vision!

The second Talisman Lin Feng activated—the Light Body Talisman—had already taken effect! A light spiritual wind instantly enveloped his entire body! His already swift movement technique suddenly increased by another thirty percent!

He transformed into a shadowy figure, swiftly moving along the reefs, not retreating but advancing, rushing towards the sea area below the Cultivator's position!

"Hmm?" The Cultivator was stunned, not expecting Lin Feng to not flee but instead charge, and his target was even below the water surface?

Just in that flash of lightning when he was Divided Soul!

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes! The "fenshui sword" held in his left hand finally unsheathed!

Clang—!

The deep blue sword light was like a cold star exploding in the deep sea! The passive Demon Slayer's restraining Aura was pushed to its extreme, and on the sword's edge, that faint but incomparably sharp dark golden brilliance suddenly lit up!

"Qingfeng Slash!" Lin Feng poured all his spiritual power, without reservation, into the sword! The sword light did not slash towards the Cultivator in the air, but ruthlessly slashed towards the earthy yellow Flying Sword he was standing on!

"Not good!" The Cultivator's face changed drastically! He never expected Lin Feng's target to be the Magical Artifact he was standing on! He wanted to control the Flying Sword to dodge, but the burst of speed Lin Feng gained from the Light Body Talisman was too fast! The sword light, under the cover of the still-dispersing ice shards, was cunning and ruthless!

Clang!!! Crack!

The fenshui sword, carrying the Demon Slayer's restraining dark golden sharpness, ruthlessly slashed into the middle of the Flying Sword! Amidst the ear-piercing clang of metal, the earthy yellow Flying Sword's spiritual light flashed wildly, emitting a mournful cry of being unable to bear the weight, and was actually cut out with a deep crack! Its spiritual power circuit instantly became chaotic!

"Ah!" The Cultivator's feet suddenly found no support, and his body instantly lost balance, plummeting towards the sea surface like a kite with a broken string! Although he reacted extremely quickly, immediately stabilizing himself and floating in mid-air, the Flying Sword beneath his feet had already dimmed in spiritual light, swaying precariously, clearly severely damaged, and its maneuverability greatly reduced!

"Little beast! You're courting death!" The Cultivator was furious and shocked, his eyes bloodshot, like an enraged beast! His diligently refined movement Magical Artifact was actually severely damaged by a Qi Refining Fifth Stage brat! This was an utter humiliation!

Seeing Lin Feng's successful strike, he did not stop, and was about to escape into the sea with the momentum, a hint of madness and determination flashed in the Cultivator's eyes!

"Forcing me to this point... then let you witness what true power is!" He let out a beast-like roar, and his hands suddenly formed a strange and bloody seal!

The spiritual power around his body fluctuated violently as if boiling! A terrifying Aura, far exceeding Qi Refinement Late Stage, and even faintly touching the threshold of Qi Refining Perfection, soared into the sky from his gaunt body like a volcanic eruption!

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

His exposed skin instantly turned crimson, like a cooked shrimp, and black-green blood vessels wriggled and bulged violently like earthworms beneath his skin! The black cloth covering his face was torn away by this violent Aura, revealing a pale, distorted middle-aged face full of pain and madness! His Aura was rapidly escalating, at the cost of his life force rapidly burning!

Forbidden Secret Art! Forcibly elevating to Qi Refining Perfection!

"Die!!!" The Cultivator roared wildly, the crimson Flying Sword's light surged several times, transforming into a terrifying several-zhang-long fiery giant python, carrying the might to incinerate everything, locking onto Lin Feng who had just touched the sea surface!

The small bronze shield also glowed brightly with yellow light, protecting him even more tightly! At this moment, the power he unleashed was enough to crush any Cultivator below Qi Refinement Late Stage!

The shadow of death, like a cold tide, instantly engulfed Lin Feng! The terrifying Spiritual Pressure of Qi Refining Perfection made him feel as if he was in a quagmire, making even breathing difficult! The thought of escaping into the sea to hide was completely shattered by this all-encompassing killing intent!

Nowhere to avoid! Nothing to block!

Qi Refining Fifth Stage versus Qi Refining Perfection? This was an absolutecrush!

The only chance for survival was in that one sliver of hope!

There was no longer any hesitation in Lin Feng's eyes, only icy determination! He forcibly twisted his body, facing the roaring fiery giant python, abandoning all defense, clasping the fenshui sword tightly with both hands, and raising it high!

His consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness, like the most devout believer, sending out the most frantic call to that fruit representing absolute slaughter, the Demon Slayer!

Demon Slayer! Active!

Divine Power - 1!

In the Sea of Consciousness, one of the two faint specks of light representing Divine Power suddenly extinguished! A feeling of immense emptiness and weakness, stronger than last time and originating from the depths of his Soul, instantly swept through his entire body, causing his vision to blacken abruptly, almost making him unable to hold the sword in his hand!

However, just as this feeling of exhaustion surged—

Buzz—!!!

The fenshui sword emitted an unprecedentedly clear and terrifying sword cry, sharp enough to tear through the night sky! On the deep blue sword body, dazzling dark golden light erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years!

The light was so scorching that it instantly overwhelmed the fiery giant python's red light, illuminating the entire sea area as if it were daytime! A terrifyingly sharp Aura, far surpassing Foundation Establishment and reaching Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Peak, descended upon the world, carrying the majestic might to cut down all demonic Auras and evil spirits, and break all Dao!

The sword was no longer just a sword! It seemed to have transformed into the Heavenly Dao's blade of judgment!

Lin Feng only felt that his arm, and even his entire body, no longer belonged to him. He was merely a vessel, a medium, carrying this terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and severing seas!

Slash!

There was no technique, no complex Move. Only a dark golden sword light, pure to the extreme and condensed to the extreme, like lightning streaking across an eternal night, struck upwards against the roaring fiery giant python!

Time, at this moment, seemed to freeze.

Space, under this one sword, seemed to be cut.

The imposing fiery giant python, which was powerful enough to incinerate reefs, upon contact with the dark golden sword light, was silently cleaved in two as if it had met its ultimate nemesis, without even letting out a mournful cry!

The violent flames were extinguished instantly, as if annihilated by an invisible force!

The sword light's momentum remained undiminished, passing through the thick, earthy yellow light screen on the Cultivator's body without any obstruction, like a hot knife cutting through solidified butter!

The small bronze shield let out a crisp mournful cry, its spiritual light instantly dimmed, and a deep crack appeared on its surface!

Finally, the sword light precisely entered the Cultivator's pale face, which was distorted from using the forbidden secret art, but now filled with extreme horror and disbelief!

Pfft!
