Chapter 571: 524 End Four

Roar!!!

In an instant, Li Chengyi let out a dragon roar and shot toward Huo Qingkong within the pillar of light. His speed wasn’t fast, hovering just a bit above twenty-five times the speed of sound, far slower than the previous sword light storm.

But what was eerie was that just when Huo Qingkong wanted to dodge, a flash of dark light occurred.

And he disappeared!!!?

Spurt!!!

A spray of blood appeared.

In the empty space behind Huo Qingkong, Li Chengyi’s crossed swords descended with full force upon his back.

The Golden Sword Blade loudly struck Huo Qingkong’s back, tearing through the robe and, just before, reached the blood-colored sentimental threads that protected him.

The threads were torn and slashed apart by the terrifying Giant Strength that Li Chengyi possessed at that moment.

Enhanced by the Flower Language Technique, his vitality had increased tremendously compared to before, and the physical quality of his body had also improved several times.

That was the Flower Language’s passive ability of the robust vitality of the Green Fleece Mugwort.

Now, Li Chengyi was unleashing his full power without reserve, his striking force reaching beyond five hundred thousand tonnes.

And all that force concentrated into the two Golden Sword Blades, generating a pressure that could slice through any known hard material to humanity.

The previously indomitable blood-colored sentimental threads were easily torn apart.

Immediately following was the second line of defense, the interception by the Sword of Wisdom.

Clang!!

A dark red semi-transparent Sword of Wisdom was sent flying by the Golden Sword.

With remaining strength, Li Chengyi slashed fiercely onto the skin of Huo Qingkong’s back.

Having undergone the Dragon Transformation, he opened his mouth and a column of crimson flame burst forth, bombarding his opponent’s back at close range.

Boom!!

The sound of swords and the explosion of flames merged into one.

Huo Qingkong, like a meteorite, plummeted from the sky and crashed into the ground.

He fell toward the outer forest of the Faceless Sword Sect, an area not enveloped by the formation.

Li Chengyi had clearly exerted force deliberately to avoid the area where everyone was.

However, what he had not noticed was that even without the destructive force of the impact, the black snow naturally evoked by him, coupled with the blood-colored pillar summoned by Huo Qingkong, was already proving to be extremely challenging for the crowd.

Some lower-leveled disciples were already performing their skills to the point of exhaustion, with only a portion of the stewards and elite disciples still struggling to keep up.

If this were to continue, without any additional action, the majority of people would either become monsters due to corruption by the black snow and red glow or dissolve into black water.

Sharp howling sounds erupted.

Li Chengyi pursued fiercely, heading towards the forest where Huo Qingkong fell as if he were a dark pillar of smoke.

Although he did hit with that last sword, the feeling was strange.

Striking true, but the sensation was as if he couldn’t exert his full force, as though only forty percent of his strength was actually affecting the opponent.

Just like before, when Huo Qingkong’s sword light hit Li Chengyi’s own body, it also inexplicably weakened instantly, with half of the sword light spontaneously extinguishing and getting swallowed by his flesh, transforming into energy to heal his wounds.

At that time, Li Chengyi indeed did not realize it and did get injured, but the injury healed automatically in the instant it occurred.

This was also why his robe was completely shredded.

Afterward, he had no choice but to transform into a dragon, using the black scales as armor to cover his body.

"That strange feeling... must be some of the Faceless Scholar’s traits beginning to show. I must seal this guy quickly, otherwise..."

Li Chengyi’s heart chilled, and he sped up even more in pursuit.

But just then.

Huo Qingkong who fell into the forest suddenly turned around, with a blast of red light propelling him to shoot up from the ground.

Void Step!!

In the blink of an eye, Huo Qingkong’s figure vanished, reappearing behind Li Chengyi with a terrifying speed surpassing fifty times the speed of sound, attempting to repeat the move that had hit him before.

But in a split second, a flash of shadow appeared on Li Chengyi’s body, and he disappeared from where he stood.

This was Shadow Flash!

No matter how fast the movement, it could never surpass the speed of Shadow Flash.

Now enhanced, the Shadow Flash’s distance and activation speed far exceeded what it had been before.

Ignoring direction and inertia, Li Chengyi materialized above Huo Qingkong, striking down with his sword.

Clang!

The Sword of Wisdom intercepted for just a moment before Huo Qingkong raised his hand with a black sword to strike.

Clang clang clang clang!!!!!

In an instant, the two exchanged thousands of blows, their sword blades colliding, Swords of Wisdom densely intermingling, shattering and then reassembling.

Networks of sentimental threads spanned a few hundred meters around them, one red and one black, like giant spiderwebs, eroding and entangling each other.

Their battleground was just over ten meters above the forest, and the residual waves from their collisions, along with the expanse of sentimental threads, instantly turned the surrounding several hundred meters into a Realm of Death.

Trees were chopped into fragments the size of fingernails, and the soil and stones were violently carved apart by the high-speed slashes; the air rapidly heated up, sparks shining like stars, lighting up the area.

Those were the sparks from countless swords and Swords of Wisdom colliding at high speeds.

Ripples of dense shockwaves surged through the air, completely turning the area into a vacuum, where the sparks were quickly extinguished.

The two clashed frantically, Wisdom against Wisdom, black sword against Golden Sword.

Li Chengyi was not as fast as his opponent, but he was completely defensive and kept attacking.

The incredible strength of his bones, combined with the scales of the King of Shadow Dragons and his substantial life force, gave him a terrifyingly dense body.

Even if wounded, at most he would bear a scratch on his bones. Such minor injuries healed instantly before one could even notice them carefully.

The maliciously rapid attacks from Huo Qingkong, the faster he struck, the quicker Li Chengyi recovered!

Unless one blow could completely annihilate him.

The fearsome recovery power would instantly regenerate everything.

Shh!

With a strange noise, Huo Qingkong’s black sword got stuck in Li Chengyi’s left shoulder bone, and the speed of its withdrawal slowed slightly.

Boom!!

In that split second, that one-thousandth-of-a-second opening, he was heavily slashed by Li Chengyi’s sword across the chest.

In mid-air, Huo Qingkong, like a red meteor, smashed heavily into the ground.

The ground shook violently, like a bedspread being flung out, with giant waves rolling out from the center and exploding outward.

Countless stones and soil surged like waves, softly rising and swelling, violently crashing towards the distant forest sea.

The snow-white forest sea, already frozen, was once again shattered and torn apart, mixing together to form an even larger white shock wave ring, impacting farther away.

"Weakness is a sin," Li Chengyi raised his sword high, his eyes shining with an unprecedented golden light, looking down from above.

"Repent!"

A massive amount of dark energy rapidly swirled around him.

’Faceless Sword Technique’s ultimate mystery.’

"Faceless!"

Hisss!

A blinding black light emanated from his sword tip, turning into a brilliant sun with a black center and golden edges.

An uncountable number of black sword beams exploded from Li Chengyi’s sword tip, like the deepest dye, instantly enveloping the entire sky in complete darkness.

The world turned pitch black, devoid of light.

Threads of black sword light with golden edges descended from the sky, meteor-like, densely bombarding the enormous pit where Huo Qingkong was located.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

The earth trembled violently, the Faceless Sword Sect’s base shook intensely.

With the continuing tremors, the entire base along with the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of land began to crack, with massive fissures appearing on the ground.

From high above, this vast area looked like an exploding gray-white disc.

Countless cracks spread over the surface of the disc, with dark energy coursing through them, freezing the ground once more and forming multiple layers of ice.

The bombardment of Faceless Sword Light lasted for more than ten seconds before it gradually ceased.

Li Chengyi slowly lowered his sword, descending in altitude, flying toward the darkness at the center of the pit.

The entire pit had now reached a depth of ten thousand meters, with the soil and rock at the bottom compressed into an extremely hard, crystalline, gray mass.

Huo Qingkong lay on his back at the very center, his body battered and bloodied, completely motionless.

But the slight rise and fall of his body indicated that he was still alive, although grievously injured.

"It’s over..." Li Chengyi flew to his side, the red light pillar emanating from the other’s body had also turned dim and nearly transparent.

He raised his hand, aiming at the other.

The Seal of Love can still be used when faced with an individual with a longer lifespan than oneself.

It just requires some modifications to the method of use, first by injuring the other party seriously enough that their lifespan definitely won’t exceed yours.

Then, sealing them will yield twice the result with half the effort.

This was also a method Li Chengyi had experimented with, which he had used when sealing the three great behemoths before.

"Sorry... Senior brother... For the world... for the safety of everyone..."

Flower Language Technique: Activate the Seal of Love!

A bright yellow light engulfed everything below.

Whoosh!

But in that instant, Huo Qingkong’s eyes snapped open, and a blood-red flame blazed upon his body!

The edges of the fire were tinged with silvery glints, signifying that it belonged to the realm of True Fire!

The blood-red flame collided with the yellow light, instantly dispersing it.

Ahhhh!!!

Huo Qingkong looked up and let out a scream that didn’t sound human. His neck swiftly sprouted a multitude of faceless, blurry heads.

This was the very sight Li Chengyi had first encountered when meeting the Faceless Scholar!!

The screaming sound exceeded ordinary sonic speed in this moment, like the speed of light, instantaneously covering the entire Faceless base.

All at once, he reached out his hand, which transformed into dark red, blood-colored claws, and ferociously stabbed Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi wanted to dodge, but within that scream, his whole body went numb, and a unimaginable rage and fear rose in his heart.

It was Ming Guang!!

This powerful effect of the Holy Spirit Technique magnified his negative emotions and took control of him instantly.

Even with the enhanced immunity effect from the Snow Lotus, he was still overpowered for a moment!? Unbelievable!!

No matter what, Huo Qingkong’s control had already succeeded.

The blood-colored claws plunged into Li Chengyi’s chest, piercing his heart, grasping it tightly.

With a yank, the claw tore out.

Rip!

A robust, blood-soaked heart was ripped out by Huo Qingkong.

Simultaneously, Li Chengyi thrust forward with his sword, the Golden Sword Blade deeply impaling the other’s forehead.

Glint Flash erupted.

Dozens of Glint Flashes stacked together and exploded at once, a golden flare burst forth, forcefully separating the two combatants.

The top of Huo Qingkong’s head, from the forehead upwards, split open with a huge gash.

Li Chengyi’s chest was left with an empty cavity where his heart used to be, only a large bloody hole remained.

Both of them stood on their feet, facing each other.

"I am the Rebooter of Destiny!" Huo Qingkong seemed to have become a completely different person, crushing the heart with one hand, the injury on his head rapidly healing.

"From now on... there will be no Huo Qingkong in this world..." At this moment, he appeared to enter another bizarre state.

The dim red light of his body began to brighten rapidly, shining so intensely it was almost blinding.

Hisss!

A red, twisted, complicated symbol materialized out of thin air in front of his chest.

Countless blood-red chains extended from the symbol.

The chains reached into the void around him, their ends transitioned from solid to transparent, disappearing to an unknown place.

"Let all things... reboot!!! Hahahaha!!!"

Huo Qingkong suddenly looked up to the sky.

The red column of light erupting from his body expanded violently, enveloping the surroundings, rapidly covering Li Chengyi and spreading swiftly into the distance.

Everything touched by the red light turned into red powder, dissolving into nothingness, leaving behind only the pure, piercing red light.
