C396 Fallen Sun Tower Lower(2)
He hadn't expected the Fallen Sun Sect to possess such formidable strength, enabling a practitioner at the Shape Gathering Stage to wield power comparable to the peak of the Reality Condensing Stage. The unique effects of the Fallen Sun Tower likely have a limited range, making it less versatile than the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. If Woo Zhengyang had been more cautious and avoided charging directly to the Fallen Sun Peak, the tower wouldn't pose much of a threat to him.
Now, it's too late for regrets. Since he's already here, Woo Zhengyang won't retreat easily. Otherwise, everything he's done so far would be in vain, and removing the Fallen Sun Sect would become even more challenging.
"Increase the speed of the formation!" Woo Zhengyang commanded.
"Sir, you're already at your physical limit. Pushing further might damage your meridians!" Bing'er expressed her concern.
"No worries. The techniques I've practiced have made my meridians far more resilient than average. I should be able to handle it!"
With Woo Zhengyang's reassurance, Bing'er remained silent.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman in midair attacked again. The fiery red light sword in her hand continued to expand, as if all the power of a blazing sun was concentrated into a single beam, its might evident.
The No Life Sword in Woo Zhengyang's hand once again emitted an icy blue glow. However, this time, the blue light merely enveloped the sword without extending much further.
Within a thousand feet of the Sunset Tower, my power and the tower's are indistinguishable. If I'm not mistaken, you have a similar secret technique through those four girls. But can you withstand me?
The middle-aged woman's sharp eyes quickly discerned the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
"You'll find out soon enough!" Woo Zhengyang replied coolly, swinging the No Life Sword toward the light curtain ahead.
The middle-aged woman's strike was still gathering power, undoubtedly formidable, and Woo Zhengyang couldn't just sit and wait. Their positions were too disadvantageous, so he aimed to break through the light curtain first.
"Boom..."
A more intense tremor followed, causing some of the lower-ranked disciples within the light curtain to bleed from their orifices. Woo Zhengyang wasn't unscathed either; his entire right arm felt numb, and if not for the protection of the Profound Heavy Gathering Silk Gloves, his hand might have been torn apart by the force of that strike.
To Woo Zhengyang's relief, his full-force blow left a web of cracks where the No Life Sword struck the light curtain.
"How is this possible?" The middle-aged woman, still gathering power in mid-air, showed a hint of surprise on her face.
"Master, the sword in his hand is a King Rank weapon. Our master went to the Profound Heaven Sect for that very sword!" a Shape Gathering Stage cultivator reminded her.
As everyone stood in shock, Woo Zhengyang and the four women, including Bing'er, were not idle. Streams of energy coursed through Woo Zhengyang's veins, infusing the No Life Sword, causing a new sword glow to emerge.
"Boom..."
Another strike landed in the same spot. The spiderweb cracks on the light curtain, which had just begun to mend, expanded further with this blow.
"Damn it!" The middle-aged woman, witnessing this, could no longer remain calm. She forcefully raised her light sword.
At this moment, the light sword in her hand stretched over a hundred feet long, raised high like a thunderbolt descending from the sky. This was not even its full potential; if the sword were fully charged, it would be even more spectacular.
As the sword descended, the world seemed to change color. The entire Fallen Sun Sect appeared to lose its hue, leaving only the mesmerizing light sword slicing down from the sky. Even though Woo Zhengyang was the target, many of the onlooking outer disciples trembled, as if they were the ones facing the sword.
Yet Woo Zhengyang remained unfazed by the sword aimed at him. He swung his third strike at the light curtain of the Fallen Sun Sect.
"Crack..."
Three strikes landed on the same point, and the red light curtain finally couldn't withstand it, breaking open a small hole. With Woo Zhengyang's expertise in formations, he knew this semi-circular light barrier wasn't an independent entity. It was intricately linked with the formations surrounding the Fallen Sun Peak, with the Fallen Sun Tower merely supplying energy. So, by breaking one point, the connected formation was inevitably damaged, making recovery impossible.
Sure enough, a small spark can start a prairie fire. After that tiny crack appeared, the web of fractures spread rapidly, and soon the entire light curtain was covered with cracks. Eventually, it shattered into pieces and never reformed.
This guy actually broke through the light curtain barrier.
Everyone hiding behind the barrier was dumbfounded. Without its protection, they were no match for Woo Zhengyang.
All their hopes rested on the middle-aged woman's sword. Such a powerful strike was beyond their understanding, and they were sure that kid couldn't possibly dodge it!
Yet, for some reason, seeing Woo Zhengyang's calm demeanor made their confidence waver. This guy was too uncanny, defying all logic.
Sure enough, when the light sword descended from above, Woo Zhengyang didn't panic at all. He casually summoned something...
