C388 What a Perfect Match!(2)

Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu's attacks were relentless, leaving no room for pause. In contrast, his own strikes required time to replenish the energy consumed by his weapons. Earlier, the presence of a senior elder from the Fallen Star Sect, although not as synchronized as Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu, provided some respite. Now, he had to rely solely on his Vital Spirit Giant Hand for alternating attacks. However, its power couldn't match the weapon-induced martial skills, and he knew he couldn't hold out for long in this state.

As for the senior elder from the Fallen Star Sect, even though he faced Woo Zhengyang and four women, only Woo Zhengyang was actively engaging him, so he wasn't entirely overwhelmed. Yet, he showed no intention of aiding the elder from the Fallen Sun Sect. When Woo Zhengyang's sword light surged toward him, he used the momentum to retreat and then leapt into the air, attempting to escape.

Previously, he and the Fallen Sun Sect elder were unable to disengage because Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu's attack rhythm was precise—one strike followed by another. If either tried to leave, the remaining one would face a combined assault, leading to certain death. Now that the Fallen Sun Sect elder was under a dual attack, he seized the chance to escape, thinking it was better for at least one of them to get away.

As for his earlier claim about burning his Origin Genuine Qi, once ignited, it couldn't be stopped, leading to inevitable death. He would only resort to such a drastic measure if there was absolutely no other option.

The intense burning of his vital energy made him appear like a swirling mist, speeding forward like a white fog. Ice-blue sword beams shot out from the No Life Sword, chasing after the white mist. These beams, though smaller and less powerful than the massive ones before, were incredibly fast and quickly caught up to the elder of the Fallen Star Sect.

The elder turned and slashed at the beams, shattering them, but continued to speed away, increasing the distance between himself and Woo Zhengyang's group. Realizing this, the elder finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Kid, today's grudge will be repaid with interest!"

"You think you can get away?" Woo Zhengyang chuckled.

"You only have this power because of those four girls. Your speed must be limited. Do you really think you can catch me?" Though phrased as a question, his tone was confident.

"Don't be so sure!" Woo Zhengyang replied, unleashing dozens more ice-blue sword beams. At the same time, his left hand sent out a barrage of fiery red punches, a combination of his life force and the power of the Profound Heaven Fire.

The sword's glow was icy blue, while the fist's aura burned a fiery red. These two forces clashed together, like hail and a rain of fire sweeping across the sky, all directed at the Grand Elder of the Fallen Star Sect. Under Woo Zhengyang's control, some of these attacks even appeared directly in front of him...

"Futile effort, you can't stop me today!" The Grand Elder of the Fallen Star Sect sneered, waving his hand to deflect the surrounding fist and sword energies.

Seeing this, a slight smile flickered in Woo Zhengyang's eyes, but he remained silent.

"Ah... you little..."

The scene Woo Zhengyang anticipated soon unfolded.

At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Fallen Star Sect was enveloped in an even more intense light, like a small sun descending upon the world.

Witnessing this, everyone was puzzled. Wasn't he overexerting himself? Wouldn't this cause his cultivation to regress? The most puzzling part was that despite his desperate efforts, his speed wasn't increasing; it was actually slowing down...

"So cunning..." The latter half of the Grand Elder's sentence came through intermittently, and the crowd finally realized that he had likely fallen into Woo Zhengyang's trap.

"The 'Sunset Mountain Blaze Technique' of your three sects from the Fallen Sun Country pairs perfectly with the Explosive Essence Powder!"

Woo Zhengyang's words finally cleared up the confusion for everyone. After observing the 'Sunset Mountain Blaze Technique' from the three sects of the Fallen Sun Country, Woo Zhengyang noticed that the technique's effects were remarkably similar to those of the Explosive Essence Powder, except their technique was controlled, whereas the powder was not.

With his mastery at the Reality Condensing Stage, Woo Zhengyang knew that forcibly suppressing his opponent wouldn’t completely drain their vital energy, so he initially hadn't planned on using the Explosive Essence Powder against them. However, after witnessing the aftermath of the "Sunset Blaze Technique," Woo Zhengyang felt the powder he acquired a couple of days ago might have a surprising effect.

In his first move, Woo Zhengyang merely unleashed a sword light to lower his opponent's guard. The second time, he combined both sword and fist energies, wrapping the Explosive Essence Powder within a fist energy and directing it towards the elder of the Fallen Star Sect.

As the fist energy shattered, the scattered powder enveloped the elder. Just as Woo Zhengyang anticipated, the elder, already burning his vital energy with the "Sunset Blaze Technique," found the addition of the powder akin to pouring gasoline on a fire. Even at the Reality Condensing Stage, he couldn't control the rampant burning of his energy.

In the end, the elder collapsed to the ground, utterly drained and limp as if his bones had vanished. Seizing this opportunity, Woo Zhengyang swiftly closed the distance, driving the No Life Sword into the elder's core...

P.S. At the end of the month, I'm hoping for some support—let's not drop off the leaderboard!
