178: He actually ran away?
In the silent void, tens of thousands of light swords suddenly appeared, each one identical to the Wen Tian Sword, even emitting the same aura, making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake.
This move was a unique skill meticulously crafted by Ling Feitian, based on repeated deductions from the opponent's past battle records, and even incorporated a bit of his own “exclusive creativity.”
“Using a sword!?” Wen Tian Sword Master laughed in extreme anger upon seeing this.
“Playing with swords in front of me? Ant, you have successfully enraged me.”
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the sky; the real Wen Tian Sword instantly erupted with a blazing light.
A Wen Tian Sword Intent that transcended heaven and earth soared into the sky, straight into the clouds!
“Let me show you what true swordsmanship is!”
【Wen Tian Nine Forms · First Form · asking-the-heavens】!
As this sword strike descended, the entire third level of the abyss began to shake violently!
A sword light, as if capable of splitting the universe, swept out, instantly turning the tens of thousands of replica light swords into nothingness.
The golden chains snapped in response, and a gigantic, pitch-blackcrack appeared in the abyss.
“Ugh—”
Ling Feitian was effortlessly pulverized by this blow.
When he revived, he looked utterly bewildered.
His ultimate move, painstakingly created with significant investment, was shattered by a single sword strike?
How was this possible?
This move alone cost him a whopping 800,000 Fantasy Energy!
Yet, the opponent casually resolved it with one sword swing?
No?
Did you unleash a big move, or did I unleash a small one?
“Impossible! My skill clearly made me immune to your Wen Tian Sword Intent, how could you still unleash it?!”
Ling Feitian questioned Wen Tian Sword Master with a face full of shock.
Hearing this, Wen Tian Sword Master merely chuckled lightly, saying with a calm tone:
“You can be immune to my Wen Tian Sword Intent; I acknowledge that strength.”
“But what about these—the Profound Meaning of Sword, the True Understanding of Sword Dao, the Sword of Laws, and even the Great Dao of Sword—can you be immune to those too?”
Listening to these unfamiliar and profound terms, Ling Feitian's mind went blank.
But he still quietly asked the system in his mind: How much Fantasy Energy would it cost to be immune to the “Profound Meaning of Sword”?
【Requires 10 million Fantasy Energy.】
Seeing this number, Ling Feitian's eyes widened.
He swallowed hard and continued to press: What about those even higher-level Sword Daos after that?
【Immunity to True Understanding of Sword Dao requires 10 billion Fantasy Energy.】
【Immunity to Sword Dao Law requires: 100 quadrillion Fantasy Energy】
【Immunity to Great Dao of Sword: Detection failed, currently unable to be immune】
Ling Feitian stared at the astronomical numbers and the “unable to be immune” prompt, almost choking.
His lips trembled like a sieve, his voice quivering:
“Who the hell are you? How are you cheating even harder than me?”
The Wen Tian Sword Master opposite slowly raised his long sword, his silver hair fluttering in the surging sword qi, his tone calm but full of oppressive power:
“Ant, do you understand the chasm between us now?”
“No matter how many revival coins you have, in front of me, they are just a joke.”
Ling Feitian suddenly burst into laughter, laughing like a madman who had just been struck by lightning:
“Heh, thank you very much.”
“Want to kill me? First, see if you have the ability.”
He lowered his head and glanced at his panel, unhesitatingly pouring his remaining 500,000 Fantasy Energy into the experience pool.
【Consumed 500,000 Fantasy Energy, gained 50 million experience points】
A golden light shot into the sky, and his level soared directly from 50 to 80!
【Congratulations on leveling up! Current Level: 80】
【All Attributes +3000, gained Free Attribute Points × 1500】
Ling Feitian felt the surging power within him, a wild, arrogant smile spreading across his lips:
“White-haired guy, don’t think you’re the only one with cheats.”
Without another word, he dumped all his Free Attribute Points into [Strength] and [Agility], instantly making his speed seem like it was on fast-forward, too quick for the naked eye to discern!
“Come on, let’s keep fighting!”
【Fantasy Manifestation · Absolute Domain】 Activated!
Ling Feitian clasped his hands together, and an invisible force field instantly spread out, enveloping Wen Tian Sword Master.
【Absolute Domain: Within this area, the power of all sword-type skills is reduced by 90%, duration 30 seconds】
This was his ultimate move, meticulously researched to specifically counter sword cultivators!
Wen Tian Sword Master frowned slightly, clearly feeling his sword qi being suppressed.
“Interesting.” He sneered,
“But do you think this is enough to defeat me?”
He no longer concealed his strength; the Wen Tian Sword in his hand erupted with dazzling light, and the two characters “asking-the-heavens” on the sword seemed to come alive, two streaks of light coiling around it like swimming dragons.
【Wen Tian Nine Forms · Second Form · Cycle Severing】
This sword strike seemed to traverse time and space, aiming directly at the depths of Ling Feitian's soul!
Ling Feitian's pupils contracted sharply, his heart jolted—
This was truly a bit troublesome now.
He felt the shadow of death looming, yet he showed no fear, instead laughing loudly and charging towards the danger.
“Go to hell!”
【Fantasy Manifestation · Fist of Annihilation】!
His right fist suddenly erupted with a thick, inky black energy, striking directly at the incoming sword light!
“Boom—!”
The moment the two forces collided, the entire seventh level of the abyss collapsed!
Ling Feitian was also directly sliced through by that sword, losing dozens of revival coins.
But his laughter grew even wilder, even carrying a hint of ferocity.
“Hahahaha… White-haired guy, you’re nothing special after all!”
Though arrogant verbally, he quietly bought several hundred revival coins to save his life.
Wen Tian Sword Master's clothes were ripped by the force of the punch, and his chest was even pierced through!
Through the hole in his chest, one could almost see the scene behind him.
Puff, puff, puff!
He consecutively spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his face instantly turning much paler, and he swayed, almost unable to stand steadily.
Damn it… This body is too weak now; I can't unleash much of my true strength at all.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; his originally silver-white long hair had already been stained dark red by the blood.
He looked down at the penetrating wound on his chest, and for the first time, seriousness and vigilance appeared in his eyes.
“A mere ant…”
The sword body suddenly trembled, humming like a dragon's roar,
“How could it even injure me?”
Ling Feitian pressed his left hand against the wound on his severed arm; the [Hyper Regeneration] he had exchanged for earlier was taking effect, and a new arm was growing at a visible rate.
He spat out a mouthful of bloody foam and sneered:
“This is just the beginning!”
Just as he was about to press his advantage,
Wen Tian Sword Master suddenly chuckled, his laughter carrying an eerie and chilling quality.
“Interesting… Truly interesting…”
He slowly raised his head, his pupils actually glowing with an eerie purple light,
“A mere ant, yet able to injure this Venerable One?”
Hearing this, Ling Feitian immediately became alert, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
This guy was too off; he immediately retreated a few steps, not daring to approach rashly, and instead prepared a long-range attack.
【Fantasy Manifestation · Spear of Divine Punishment】!
He clenched his left hand, and a black spear entwined with lightning instantly condensed, then was fiercely hurled towards Wen Tian Sword Master!
“Boom—!”
The spear tore through the air, carrying destructive power directly towards the opponent's heart!
Without any hesitation, the spearhead accurately pierced through the target!
Seeing this scene, Ling Feitian himself was a little stunned—
This guy, he didn't even dodge?
