Chapter 608: Turning the Tides

Desperate!

Even after Chu Xuanji had broken through to the Peak of Gang Qi, forcing Chen Daozang to flee in a panic, he still chose to frantically burn the essence of his Gang Qi, desperately trying to kill Chen Daozang.

Because he knew very well that with Chen Daozang having broken through to the Peak of Gang Qi and having completely gained momentum, if he were allowed to leave Hua Xia unharmed today, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain. In the future, with Chen Daozang’s strength and his influence in the Dark World, he could definitely rally a large group of strong people to form a terrifying force, capable of overturning the order of Hua Xia and even the whole world!

Whoo whoo whoo! Whoo whoo whoo!

With one punch, the sky changed color, a cold wind picked up, and countless streams of Evil Yin Qi rushed toward Chu Xuanji.

At that moment.

He was completely enveloped by Evil Yin Qi, emitting a ghastly aura, but his mind was not affected in the slightest. On the contrary, his expression and gaze were extremely determined, as if the falling sky would not alter his decision at this moment!

Boom boom boom~

Soon after, with a roaring sound, a surging wave of Gang Qi burst out from Chu Xuanji’s right fist, like a tidal wave, instantly sucking in all the surrounding Evil Yin Qi, and then transformed into a huge black Punch Ray.

The Punch Ray flashed into existence, the terrifying energy fluctuations spreading in all directions, causing the entire sky to seem to tremble. The dark clouds above were instantly dispersed.

"Chu Xuanji, don’t force me!"

Feeling that massive wave of energy, Chen Daozang knew he was locked in and couldn’t escape the battle area. He let out a great roar but didn’t burn his Gang Qi essence like Chu Xuanji. Instead, he waved his hands continuously, releasing streams of Gang Qi, trying to recreate the "Xuanyin Gate" in defense.

This time, Chen Daozang was much faster, and in an instant he created a Xuanyin Gate that was ten meters high and five meters wide, blocking his front.

Because Chu Xuanji, in the instant of throwing his punch, absorbed all the Evil Yin Qi in the battle area, the Xuanyin Gate Chen Daozang created had noticeably less Evil Yin Qi, and its power was slightly weakened.

Even so, the Xuanyin Gate Chen Daozang created at this moment, compared to when he had previously suppressed his realm and was at the Peak of Gang Qi, was much stronger.

However—

This did not reassure Chen Daozang.

He didn’t stop, continuing to rapidly wave his hands, wanting to create a second Xuanyin Gate.

All this, because he knew that one Xuanyin Gate simply could not withstand a strike from Chu Xuanji, who was burning the essence of his Gang Qi!

After all, just a moment ago, when both he and Chu Xuanji were at the Peak of Gang Qi, Chu Xuanji blew up his Xuanyin Gate with a punch, aided by the burning essence of his Gang Qi and wearing the Black Iron Fist set.

Boom!

As expected, following a loud noise, that terrifying Punch Ray, like a black sun falling, shattered the Xuanyin Gate in an instant.

A terrible energy storm was born, sweeping in all directions from the point of impact, but unable to approach that still-dazzling Punch Ray—any Energy Wave near it instantly turned to nothing.

At that moment...

Chen Daozang cast the second Xuanyin Gate, again blocking the black Punch Ray.

Boom!

Without any surprise, when the black Punch Ray hit the second Xuanyin Gate, the loud noise was heard again, and the second Xuanyin Gate shattered explosively.

After smashing through two Xuanyin Gates in a row, the light of the black Punch Ray dimmed slightly, and the energy fluctuations also decreased a bit, but it was still much more powerful compared to the Punch Ray that Chu Xuanji had released at the Gang Qi peak state.

This is bad!

With two Xuanyin Gates shattered, Chen Daozang’s heart shook, and he could only stimulate the Protective Aura to the extreme, in order to fend off the black Punch Ray’s attack.

Boom!

Immediately afterward, another loud noise, Chen Daozang was struck by the Punch Ray, the Protective Aura on his body unable to withstand the terrible energy impact and explosively shattered.

The terrifying Energy Wave instantly sent Chen Daozang flying far away.

All of this, though complicated, happened in an instant, so fast that no one could see the exact process, only feeling the heart-throbbing energy fluctuations.

However—

Soon, everyone saw a figure appear in the sky.

Chen Daozang was severely injured?

Seeing Chen Daozang flying backward, whether it was Ye Fan, Chu Ji, and Lv Zhan, the three people who had temporarily stopped fighting, or Lv Yuan and Jie Dao, who had paused their battle, or even those cultivators who were fleeing, all were stunned.

"Pfft!"

As if in response to the crowd, in the sky, Chen Daozang fell like a kite whose string had been cut, drifting with the wind, his robe tattered and blood spewing from his mouth endlessly.

He was injured again.

And the wounds were much worse than before, with his meridians and internal organs having been shaken as well as multiple broken bones all over his body.

"Evil disciple, die!"

Seeing Chen Daozang severely wounded, Chu Xuanji roared, wanting to charge at Chen Daozang again.

Strike when the enemy is sick, take their life!

Chu Xuanji intended to take Chen Daozang’s life in one fell swoop!

"Pfft!"

However—

Just as Chu Xuanji began to run his Gang Qi, his body shuddered violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master!"

Seeing this, Ye Fan thought Chu Xuanji had also been seriously injured, his face turning pale as he shouted out loud.

"The Master was too reckless when he burned his Gang Qi just now and didn’t stop at all. He wanted to stimulate the Gang Qi again, which led to losing control of the Gang Qi, getting swallowed by it, and injuring himself. The injury is not serious."

Upon witnessing this, Chu Ji took a moment to think and then understood the reason.

Although her combat power still could not match Ye Fan’s, in terms of experience, she far surpassed him.

"That’s good,"

Hearing this, Ye Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then abruptly shifted his gaze towards Chen Daozang falling to the ground and said, "Since master can no longer sustain the battle using Gang Qi, then I will be the one to chop off Chen Daozang’s dog head!"

"No way!"

Chu Ji quickly stopped Ye Fan, her tone grave, "Although Chen Daozang has been seriously injured, at their level, they can still continue to fight forcefully. If you go now, you’ll be sending yourself to death."

Just as Chu Ji’s words fell, the originally falling Chen Daozang suddenly stopped, once again standing in the air.

"Chu Xuanji, I truly did not expect that the attack you launched by burning the essence of your Gang Qi at all costs could actually break through my two Xuanyin Gates and shatter my protective aura, causing me heavy injury!"

Chen Daozang looked at Chu Xuanji from afar, his words filled with teeth-gritting rage. By the end, he was so full of hatred that he seemed on the verge of madness, "I hate this, how I wish I could tear you to pieces right now!"

Originally, he thought this trip to Huaxia would entirely go as planned, to overturn the whole of Huaxia. Who would have thought his plans would come to naught at Chu Xuanji’s hands!

"If you are not convinced, we can continue. The battle today will not end until one of us is dead!"

Chu Xuanji’s mouth was stained with traces of blood. Only one-quarter of his Gang Qi remained in his body, just enough for one more ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’. Yet his face was resolute, as if willing to burn the last essence of his Gang Qi and renounce all his cultivation, as long as he could kill Chen Daozang.

"You..."

Chen Daozang trembled with rage.

At this moment, he was seriously injured, although he could still continue to fight forcibly, he would certainly suffer backlash afterward, causing his injuries to worsen.

What was more important was that he could see that Chu Xuanji was determined to fight to the death.

In this case, even if he wanted to kill Chu Xuanji, he would have to burn his Gang Qi essence just like Chu Xuanji.

"The hills will not change, the rivers will flow forever, Chu Xuanji, let’s settle our accounts in the future. We’ll see!"

Although already furious beyond measure, Chen Daozang eventually, driven by his terrifying willpower, suppressed his urge to tear Chu Xuanji apart. With one loud shout, he turned and flew towards the western horizon using Qi Manipulation.

As he watched Chen Daozang flee, Chu Xuanji made no move to pursue.

For one, there was a considerable distance between him and Chen Daozang. If Chen Daozang was determined to escape, it would be impossible to catch up with him.

Furthermore, only one-quarter of his Gang Qi remained inside him. Even using ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’, he could not deal a killing blow to Chen Daozang.

What was most important was that he had achieved his objective—to injure Chen Daozang severely enough that he could not cause trouble for a while. Now that Chen Daozang was heavily injured, he would have to halt his plans, and his influence would likely be affected to some extent.

This way, he wouldn’t be able to summon and gather the strong people of the Dark World in a short period of time. Meanwhile, in the Huaxia Cultivation World, Yan would be able to make use of this time to hunt down Chen Daozang.

"Phew~"

Seeing Chen Daozang making a hasty retreat, Ye Fan and Chu Ji simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Ji stared intently in the direction Chen Daozang had fled, an unmistakable hatred in her eyes.

"Everyone says that the Evil Emperor is selfish and cares for no one but himself, that it was only for Yan’s sake that he fought against the death virus and saved the world back then. But now, for the sake of saving the Huaxia Cultivation World, he does not hesitate to burn his Gang Qi essence. It is really sigh-worthy and admirable!"

Lv Zhan could not help but sigh, his gaze towards Chu Xuanji filled with respect.

"Evil Emperor!"

"Evil Emperor!"

As Lv Zhan’s words died down, those cultivators who had initially fled the square stopped in unison, bowing and paying respects to Chu Xuanji, grateful for his lifesaving grace.

"Brother Xuanji, this battle will be recorded in the annals of cultivation history. Even if you cannot break through to that legendary realm in the future, this one battle alone is enough!" Lv Yuan said with a smile, raising his voice.

Swish!

Unmoved by Lv Yuan’s praise, Chu Xuanji abruptly set his eyes on Jie Dao.

Clank!

Feeling that Chen Daozang’s presence had utterly vanished and seeing Chu Xuanji’s gaze sweep over like a blade, Jie Dao’s entire body shuddered with fear.

"Why... why has it come to this?!"

Jie Dao couldn’t help but secretly question himself, his face now devoid of the bloodthirsty joy and previous schadenfreude, replaced only by shock!

"Jie Dao, you assisted tyranny and brutally slaughtered innocent cultivators, your sin deserves to be torn to thousands of pieces!"

The response to Jie Dao was a low shout from Chu Xuanji.

As his voice trailed off, his figure appeared.

Chu Xuanji, as if he had used the Instant Teleportation Technique, appeared instantly within a hundred meters of Jie Dao, and with a sweeping motion of his right hand, he struck out.

In an instant, a surge of Gang Qi erupted from Chu Xuanji’s right palm, manifesting into a Gang Qi hand that glimmered with a dark light, containing terrifying energy fluctuations, and struck towards Jie Dao.

At the peak of Gang Qi, Chu Xuanji could defeat Jie Dao in three moves.

Now, having not only breached the Great Perfection Realm of Gang Qi but also wearing two High-level Magical Artifacts—the Black Iron Fist set and the Ghost Ring—what would he do?

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Jie Dao’s protective aura was directly torn apart by the Gang Qi hand, the horrifying Energy Wave sending him flying into the air.

At that moment...

Chu Xuanji’s body flashed, instantly arriving before Jie Dao, again raising his right hand, slapping down at Jie Dao as if swatting a fly.

"Slap—"

The sound of the slap was crisp.

Jie Dao was flipped over by Chu Xuanji and plummeted to the ground!
