Chapter 457: Chapter 303 Breakthrough_3

His and Xu Yuan’s positions had switched places, with dozens of spiral blood-colored bone spurs firmly nailing his robust body in midair, and the arm holding the sword, though severed, still pierced into his chest!

Illusionary Realm...

The insight of a tribe leader allowed Chi Su to understand what had just occurred.

Although he broke free from the illusion in an instant, that moment had already put him at a disadvantage.

Because, Xu Yuan did not need any prisoners.

Quickly scanning the cave, three ink-colored bone spurs pierced through the entire cave caught his eye, and then the peripheral light in Chi Su’s dark blue pupils caught the one-armed blood-colored figure on the ground of the cave.

Information instantly collated, Chi Su made a judgment in his heart.

Though he fell into the illusion, that guy had also not dodged the three bone spurs released by his Dao Domain.

That meant, the opponent had already been hit by his ’ultimate technique’, Origin Qi delay.

In an instant, the desolate cave fell silent.

"Hum—"

A humming sound,

The barbarian patterns around Chi Su glowed intensely, his punctured muscles swelled instantly, and the dozens of spiral bone spurs fixing him in place cracked, showing fissures, while the Dao Domain spread and countless bone spurs surged out from all directions toward Xu Yuan!

Xu Yuan had moved the instant before Chi Su made his move.

He streaked through the air like a meteor, speeding toward the Barbarian King suspended in midair.

Though temporarily without human spellcraft and sword techniques, he still had the physique of a ghostly figure, and the remaining arm, under the control of his will, transformed into a half-zhang-long hunting blade.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment,

As Chi Su shattered the bone prison, the blood-colored meteor that Xu Yuan had become was already swinging the arm blade in close proximity!

"Hum!!!!!"

...

...

...

"Huff...."

"Huff...."

"Ha...."

In the silent cave, faint breaths could be heard, along with scattered rubble and pits everywhere.

Trembling, Xu Yuan picked up the severed arm holding the Qingyu Sword from the ground, pressing it to the stump on his body.

Under the influence of the fungal armor, the severed joint was quickly sealed.

Origin Qi poured in, and the tightly gripped Qingyu Sword in the severed arm let out a hum, its tip once again flaring with the Blood Ink Sword Technique’s glow.

After completing these actions, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to look at Chi Su, who was half-kneeling in a massive pit a hundred zhang away.

Neither he nor Chi Su had achieved their goal to swiftly kill the other.

With sword in hand, Xu Yuan took slow steps toward him.

But he had won this fierce melee battle in the end, thanks to the advantage of the Illusionary Realm and the physique of a ghostly figure.

It was a bitter victory, but he had still won.

However, it would have been much simpler if he could have used those powerful techniques from the Blood Essence Meteoring Art.

Within the Blood Essence Meteoring Art, aside from the close-combat Blood Ink Sword Technique, there were also records of many powerful spellcrafts, similar to the Yantian Art’s Heavenly Word Mantra.

It was because of these powerful spellcrafts that Xu Yuan had positioned himself as a noble ’spellcaster’ from the beginning of his practice.

But things had not gone as he wished.

Perhaps due to Jing He’s Pure Yang constitutional meridians in the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, he had no meridians to channel the powerful techniques in the Blood Essence Meteoring Art, resulting in his body having no instinctual response to those techniques.

Therefore, he had somehow shifted from that noble ’spellcaster’ to a close-combat swordsman who now only used the Blood Ink Sword Technique.

Well, at this point, it didn’t really matter. A spellcaster who couldn’t fight up close wasn’t a good berserker.

Now, with the body of a ghostly figure and the bloody fungal armor, he had become an almost unkillable blood ox of a berserker.

However, it was also thanks to this ghoul’s body that he was able to defeat the Barbarian King.

It’s just that his father, maternal uncle, and Xu Changge were all planning to cultivate him into a sword-wielder.

Thinking of his father in the Imperial Capital, Xu Yuan let out a slight sigh.

If he could be turned, he wouldn’t have to fight so fiercely to the death.

And if that father of his could get a body that was immortal and indestructible, perhaps the congenital illness he was born with could heal itself, right?

There was also the Emperor on the Golden Throne who was nearing the end of his life.

If he gave him an opportunity, the other party would probably also be willing to become a ghoul.

Once he became a ghoul, he would be able to survive, and thus the Imperial Family and his Prime Minister’s Mansion would temporarily have no reason for conflict.

If the two elders both turned into ghouls, they could keep going forever, and the plan against the Sects wouldn’t be so urgent; moreover, if these Saints possessed bodies of ghouls that were immortal, wiping out those Sects should be much easier.

There were also the Big Ice Lump and the others....

After the Big Ice Lump and the others turned into ghouls, they could live forever....

As long as they became ghouls....

Thinking of this, the image of a tumorous Luo Xiran suddenly surged in Xu Yuan’s mind.

Wait....

Hold on....

No, no.... this doesn’t seem right!

Xu Yuan clutched his forehead, his crimson pupil without a white contracting and expanding as he suddenly turned to the Barbarian King with a smile.

Right.

Now was not the time to think about such distant matters but to kill this fellow first, and then... then... eat him?

Xu Yuan licked the corner of his lips but soon his thoughts plunged into chaos again.

"Changtian."

A cold yet smiling voice suddenly rang in Xu Yuan’s ear, gentle and soft:

"Don’t resist, all of this is inevitable....

"As long as you consume this Semi-Saint, you will become stronger...."

Xu Yuan suddenly raised his sword, his gaze fixed on the burly Barbarian in front of him, his crimson pupils filled with madness:

"Shut up!"

"...." Barbarian King.

"Great power will free you from worries, eternal life will let you live forever with the people you cherish... Do you really not crave such a life?"

The quiet female voice arose from nowhere, beguilingly echoing in Xu Yuan’s ears: "And all of this requires only that you consume this Semi-Saint."

Boom!

The ground shattered,

Xu Yuan’s figure moved instantaneously to in front of the Barbarian King:

"Chi Su, I told you to shut up!"

"...."

The Barbarian King calmly watched the mad "human" before him, then slowly began to rise to his feet from the ground:

"Ghoul, you want to tempt him into eating this king?"

As he spoke,

A breath quietly dispersed from around his body.

Xu Yuan, in a haze of consciousness, was struggling against his body’s instincts, completely unaware of the changes happening around him.

But Luo Xiran, who observed the scene through the crimson fungal carapace, noticed something amiss, her voice turning sharp:

"Changtian, kill him quickly! He’s about to break through!"
