Chapter 700: Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-Five: A Total Loss_2

As a thought surged up within her, Luo Bingli’s pupils, emitting a divine light, suddenly contracted, and she lowered her gaze to look at her right hand that had just been deconstructed.

Due to the information provided by Fu Qinggeng and her own habitual thinking about the calamity, she had actually neglected one of the most basic common sense in the cultivation world.

No matter how bizarre the Spellcraft seemed in function, its foundation still required Origin Qi from heaven and earth for support.

And the same was true for the membrane encircling the opponent.

During her probing attempt earlier, she had not used much Origin Qi to concentrate in her right hand, but it took the opponent about nine breaths to deconstruct her right hand made of Qi...

With this thought in mind, Luo Bingli looked at Xu Yuan, now with a trace of clarity in her eyes.

Since that membrane around the foe required energy to maintain, it also indicated that there was a limit to how much Origin Qi the opponent could form.

If she could break through this critical point in an instant, then she could injure or even kill the opponent!

With this thought flashing by,

having speculated a possible method to confront the enemy, Luo Bingli did not hesitate, and the aura around her body suddenly surged.

She didn’t have much time left. Even if Taishiran risked his life, he wouldn’t be able to stop Lou Ji for too long. She had to settle the matter with her opponent in the shortest time possible.

For a moment, the space became silent.

Standing on the ground, Xu Yuan looked up at the figure emitting a light as if a deity had descended to the mortal world. A hint of puzzlement flashed through his dark eyes, seemingly not understanding what the other wanted to do.

But the next instant, he knew.

The figure in the sky turned into a streak of light and appeared in front of him at a speed that eluded his vision.

Seeing the bright orb that appeared before his eyes, Xu Yuan’s face instinctively rose with an emotion of annoyance.

He didn’t understand; he had already said he wouldn’t eat her, so why wouldn’t this unpalatable thing leave?!

Driven by the most primal anger, Xu Yuan swung a palm knife towards the "orb" that had come close, while at the same time, countless tangled willow branches shot out from the ground and his body, entwining towards the opponent.

Unfortunately, in this state, Luo Bingli was far faster than him.

Before the palm knife and the willow branches could touch her body, she had already pressed a speck of light to Xu Yuan’s face with her slender index finger.

Catching sight of the tiny speck of light, the anger in Xu Yuan’s eyes visibly dissipated, replaced by a hint of fear.

He felt a dangerous aura emanating from this small speck of light.

Without thinking, Xu Yuan suddenly tried to retract his power and retreat, but his speed was no match for Luo Bingli’s.

In that instant, the pitch-black fog around them became silent and eerie,

the fear on Xu Yuan’s face,

the indifference in Luo Bingli’s eyes,

and the myriad of willow branches that had reached out all froze at this moment.

"...."

"...."

"...."

The speck of light turned into a beam, emitting a dazzling radiance that instantly dispersed the eerie fog covering half of the city.

There was no booming sound, no explosion; there was only a "snap" when the beam of light struck the membrane surrounding Xu Yuan’s body.

After a few breaths, the dazzling light beam gradually weakened and finally disappeared into the void like twinkling stars.

All was calm again, and in front of Luo Bingli stood only a headless corpse. The willow branches that had surged toward her had become rigid in place, and there was a deep, bottomless hole the size of a foot on the ground behind the body!

Was it over....

Luo Bingli gazed at the source of the calamity before her with its head blown to pieces, yet there was not much relief in her eyes.

Although she still could not feel any sign of life from the body, it was, after all, the source of the calamity.

Moreover, although Xu Changtian still maintained a human shape, it was clear from the near-fatal Slash Strike on the upper body caused by the wooden knife that the body’s structure had changed, and the weak points fatal to humans might no longer apply to him.

But under her vigilant gaze,

the standing headless body, after a silent moment, slowly knelt down onto the ground and then collapsed onto the ground like sludge...

Seeing this scene,

Luo Bingli’s heart slightly eased, but again, a massive amount of Origin Qi surged around her body, quickly condensing another speck of light at her fingertip.

For the calamity, one must not let down their guard until they’ve completely turned the opponent into dust.

In the silent and ruined desolation, the dazzling light grew ever more intense. Just as the Spellcraft was about to condense again, a series of "thump, thump, thump" heartbeats inappropriately sounded.

The moment the sound began, Luo Bingli’s heart sank sharply.

This monster was, indeed, not dead yet.

At that moment, in his gaze, the headless corpse that lay like rotting mud on the ground eerily rose from the earth in a bizarre posture.

Without any hesitation, Luo Bingli’s hand once again burst into a radiant glow.

But at this time, the headless corpse suddenly reached out to touch the wooden knife embedded in its chest.

The moment its fingertips touched the knife handle, a violent, murderous frenzy instantly enveloped the vicinity for hundreds of feet.

In a daze, Luo Bingli found herself in a dark space, and when she looked up, she saw a huge ancient willow dangling countless carcasses!

However, her powerful cultivation allowed her to quickly regain clarity within a very short period of time, and the light particles at her fingertips turned into beams of light that surged towards the opponent’s torso once more.

But this time,

the creature had preemptively pulled out the wooden knife and slashed vertically at her.

A single slash cleaved through the light.

The brilliant beam of light was directly split by the eerie blade, shooting violently to both sides!

As the light faded, two crescent-shaped deep pits had formed on the ground behind the headless corpse.

Witnessing this scene that defied comprehension, a trace of doubt flickered in Luo Bingli’s beautiful eyes.

She could clearly sense that the creature was moving faster than before.

With no time to think further, the headless corpse had already raised the wooden knife high and swung it down at her from across the void.

And with that action,

the air, cleared of mist by the light, suddenly filled with countless strokes of ink-like Sword Qi, which rushed toward her in an instant.

As the light flashed and the Sword Qi struck the ground, the landscape, full of wounds, was once again torn with countless deep sword marks reaching dozens of feet.

When Luo Bingli reappeared, she was already hundreds of feet away.

And in her field of vision,

the body of the headless monster was undergoing changes.

After pulling out the blade, the near-fatal slash that had nearly cleaved its upper body in two was healing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the head that she had just obliterated was slowly reconstituting itself.

"You... do... not... want... to... leave,"

Following a brief silence, an unharmed Xu Yuan, looking at the woman hundreds of feet away, had a glint of madness flash across his dark eyes, "Then... you... will... be... eaten... by... me."

Having said that, he raised the Willow Ghost Blade in his hand again and swung it gently at her.

Unlike the previous sky-filling ink Sword Qi, this time, Luo Bingli didn’t perceive any incoming Energy Mechanism.

While puzzled,

a sudden gust of pressure bore down on her body, which was constructed of Origin Qi, and in an instant, her entire body was torn in two.

This invisible Slash Strike was imbued with that eerie energy swirling around the opponent’s body.

Because of the special structure of her Qi-based body, Luo Bingli did not immediately perish, but, facing the figure exuding a terrifying aura, she involuntarily showed a trace of powerlessness in her eyes.

So this, is this what true calamity feels like...

...

...

...

Elsewhere in the ruins of Huizhou, another battle was raging.

No sooner had Lou Ji finished speaking than Taishiran made his move.

Lou Ji had already made her stance clear; since their paths diverged, they could only meet with blades drawn.

Moreover,

Taishiran wanted to try, he wanted to see if, in the last moments of his life, he could drag the Black Scale Leader, who had chosen to aid the tyrant, down to hell with him.

Even if there was only a one percent chance, he still wanted to try.

And the outcome of this attempt was not beyond Taishiran’s expectations.

He failed.

Kneeling on the ground, the blood continuously flowing from Taishiran’s lips had already dyed the ground beneath him red.

Slowly lifting his gaze to the figure still standing in mid-air, he this time realized that Lou Ji was not looking at him but was staring into the depths of the mist.

In the midst of his confusion, Lou Ji’s voice, carrying a light smile, wafted over:

"Hey, the woman you placed so much hope on seems to have been driven away by Changtian."
