Chapter 855: Chapter 854: Thorny Kill

Hou Niao carefully organized his response. In the Jinxiu Continent, his days of easy battle victories against others were gone. Only upon arriving in the universe did he realize he was nothing. Previously, there was Daoist Zhi Xuan, now it’s Daoist Mu Fan, and who else would there be, he didn’t know.

It was only today that he understood how fortunate he had been to kill Bao Xishan back then, but that incident had essentially exhausted all his luck, and now his true form was revealed.

He could only hope for a risky maneuver, a one-hit kill.

His opponent was obviously on guard against his desperate moves, testing the wisdom and patience of both sides.

The flying sword searched endlessly for the Daoist’s trace, passing through flames, water curtains, soil barriers, golden shields, wooden walls… continuously colliding with the opponent’s spells along the way, growing weaker each time, until it was forced to return to the Purple Mansion to regain strength.

This process repeated over and over, ending inconclusively each time. Without a decent Golden Core Level swordsmanship, without Sword Light Division, the flying sword became a simple artifact, like a flying knife… the only difference being the cycle and reuse.

When he switched to the Body Sword Skill, perception became an issue again, easily confused by the myriad of spells. After all, during the Body Sword Skill, he was in a relatively enclosed space, far less perceptive than when his true body was outside.

A dilemma… essentially, it was just that he hadn’t fully developed yet and came out to fight. Thus, he was stretched thin everywhere.

The Five Elements rotated back to the Wood Element, and under Daoist Mu Fan’s mastery, the entire space seemed to turn green, with grass filling the space, unstoppable by slashing, indestructible by burning.

This was somewhat different from the opponent’s previous uses of Wood Element Techniques, and Hou Niao didn’t rush to counterattack but kept his cool.

He designed several plans for himself, considering the suspicious and intuitive nature of cultivators, he deliberately performed poorly with the Gold and Fire elements. Of course, in reality, he was indeed poor at them, so it was a genuine performance.

But a truly adept cultivator would definitely wonder, why is he so bad in these two aspects? For a Sword Cultivator, isn’t enhancing the flying sword’s power directly through Gold and Fire elements the best choice?

Thinking about it this way could lead to paranoia, and nine times out of ten, they wouldn’t engage in those two elements, which could be a clever move backfiring, but it’s also the instinct of a cultivator who wants to live longer.

Among the remaining three elements, he prepared two plans: if Daoist Mu Fan chose to confront directly via the Water and Earth elements, he would use the Five Elements Mysterious Light, hoping to instantly clear the spell space and buy a few moments for his flying sword to attack.

This required timing, when the opponent revealed their trump card, not when they still had energy to spare; the opportunity was a one-time deal, waiting for the most confident moment was crucial.

If it was like this, he had a certain chance to harm the opponent, but whether he could kill him was uncertain.

The other plan was for the Wood Element environment, like now, but he didn’t know Mu Fan’s intention, so he was still being chased embarrassingly under the Wood Element Techniques, with the flying sword struggling to find enemies, its limited attacks lacking power and difficult to sustain.

Under the mastery of Daoist Mu Fan, the space grew full of grass, which was also hard for Mu Fan to maintain, so he didn’t hesitate. As the grassland transformed, the grasses rapidly grew into towering trees.

The entire space turned into a forest impenetrable by wind and rain, and such a Wood Element Technique made Hou Niao drop his jaw. He wondered about the immense magic power needed to achieve this.

He also vaguely realized that his opponent was likely preparing for a final strike.

Considering this, before the grass completely disappeared, he turned himself into a small grass, with Purple Mansion Strange Stone Orchid as the base… he was familiar with this method, because in Sui Mo City, he had used it to trap three Golden Core cultivators to death.

The Strange Stone Orchid hid among the grass, growing along with it, towering like a tree. The special roots left Daoist Mu Fan’s Wood Gui Lao entirely unaware, thinking everything was progressing smoothly. By this point, the situation was irreversible.

The Daoist god suddenly exerted force, and the entire forest changed again, moving to enclose the only place in the forest with a life aura. During this process, trees turned into thorns, countless barbs gleaming coldly,

No one could resist such Wood Thorn stabbing, layer upon layer, inescapable and unavoidable.

This was why Mu Fan chose the Wood Gui Lao; its thorn kill though not as grand as other Daoist god’s absolute kills, had a silent, unique power in its silence.

When the forest gathered inwards, pressing and transforming into thousands of Wood Thorns, not even an immortal could escape!

The best method to counter such a Forbidden Technique was Fire Techniques, which specifically targeted Daoist like Sword Cultivators. Where would it end if a single flying sword was used to slash?

Within the space formed a massive Wood Thorns Ball, countless wood thorns madly stabbing inward, with the Sword Cultivator at the center. Whether he was in his true form or hidden within the sword, he had to face the compression of such Wood Element Power without an alternative path.

The end had arrived; it was only a matter of time.

Mu Fan leisurely watched the changes in the space, experiencing the control of the Forbidden Technique by his Daoist god, the Wood Gui Lao. This was what Ci Hang relied on to act rampant in the universe, a Five Elements Skill power beyond understanding, and within the Anchor Chain Star System Golden Core Level, few could withstand his attack, making him one of the top prospects favored by the Anchor Chain’s upper echelon.

The thorns were still madly gathering stabs, and Mu Fan was waiting for the life aura inside to vanish, but… the life aura, after initially weakening, began to slowly and firmly strengthen, and faster and faster!

He sensed this change, and so did the Daoist god, Wood Gui Lao. As an existence passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, how could it tolerate such defiance? Under its continuing pressure, the Wood Thorns became even more frenzied, refusing to rest until achieving its goal.

Wood Gui Lao persisted out of pride, and Mu Fan felt something was wrong?

He could clearly feel the output of his magic power, and although he still had energy to spare, it couldn’t last much longer. With so many Wood Thorns, it required an immense amount of magic power to sustain.

These changes actually occurred within an instant, and he was a decisive person. Upon realizing the Sword Cultivator’s life aura was growing stronger and the Wood Thorns couldn’t suppress it, he resolutely decided to swap out his Daoist god!

In the Sea Of Consciousness, Fire General descended upon the consciousness eye, as the fire began, combining with countless Wood Thorns, creating a Hell Burning Sky!

It seemed well thought out, but the problem was the Wood Gui Lao wouldn’t budge!

Daoist gods were divine objects he worshipped and nurtured daily for over a century, absolutely incapable of disobeying their owner’s commands…

Mu Fan’s heart sank, danger was imminent.

The power of their Ci Hang Lineage was both the making and breaking by Daoist gods. If the Daoist god in the Sea Of Consciousness entered a temporary death-like state, all his abilities would drop to zero.

Wood Gui Lao refused to leave, and Fire General couldn’t settle into position, he was now a lamb awaiting slaughter!

With fear in his heart, he looked at the thorn ball, which suddenly broke apart, a point of sword light spinning towards him…
