Rumble—!
The enormous Taotie stretched out its palm towards Lu Ziming; its massive, rotting flesh palm was so large that it blotted out the sky.
The attack caused panic to spread, the clouds to churn, as if the sky were collapsing.
The air was compressed and exploded inch by inch, producing a terrifying bang.
Looking at this attack that seemed to topple the heavens, Lu Ziming's eyes were bloodshot and his heart was ashen. As a fifth-tier expert who stood at the pinnacle of humanity, he felt a sense of insignificance that was utterly humiliating.
It's like facing an ant being crushed by a human finger.
Perhaps, at this moment, he already had some of the feeling that Zhou Qingfeng had back then.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Lu Ziming was shocked, but he did not sit idly by and wait for death. Instead, he chose to fight to the death.
Clang!
With a thrust of the sword, the longsword swept across the sky, and the light of the soul transformed into a mighty river, gushing forth from the sword.
It was like the Milky Way bursting its banks, flowing endlessly.
Lu Ziming's idea was simple: even if he died, he would kill Fang Xiu.
However, after the sword was thrust out, something happened that left him speechless.
The enormous, seemingly unstoppable hand, as if the sky were collapsing, was actually annihilated inch by inch by his sword energy.
Then his entire arm was destroyed.
Lu Ziming stood there dumbfounded, unable to react for a moment.
In his perception, how could the Taotie, which possessed a godlike and eerie aura, have its arm severed by his sword?
However, the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe them.
A moment later, he realized what was happening and connected it to the weakened version of the Corpse Lake.
His eyes blazed with wild joy: "I know! The monsters you summoned were all projections! They weren't the real thing at all!"
Hahaha........"
He burst into uncontrollable laughter, his heart, which had been dead ashes, was rekindled.
"I knew it! I knew it! How could you, a mere third-tier cultivator, possibly summon such a powerful and bizarre creature! Trying to fool me? You're far from it!"
Clearly, Lu Ziming felt confident in himself again.
Admittedly, those who are unfamiliar with Taotie can easily be fooled by its illusory appearance.
Seeing Lu Ziming laughing wildly, Fang Xiu also laughed.
He knew that the Taotie phantom at this stage couldn't kill a fifth-tier enemy, but he still chose to summon the Taotie.
This is because this is not the present world, but a burial ground. At this point in time, the Taotie is invincible!
"Hehehe..."
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Fang Xiu's lips as he looked down at Lu Ziming from the sky, his eyes full of mockery.
Lu Ziming frowned, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He didn't understand why Fang Xiu could still smile even after he had seen through Fang Xiu's methods.
"why are you laughing!"
Fang Xiu's right eye blazed with blood-red light, black flames suddenly erupted from his body, his black hair turned silver, and he danced wildly in the fierce wind.
"I laugh at you for being a dead man."
Lu Ziming was furious: "Arrogant! Today I'll kill you first and let you know that not just anyone can be the captain!"
He drew his sword again, and a dazzling sword aura shot into the sky, forming a crescent shape, and fiercely slashed towards Fang Xiu in the sky.
Fang Xiu gently raised his right hand and ran it across his face, and a strange mask made of black flames slowly covered his fair face.
The next second, the sound of flesh writhing filled the air.
Suddenly, the Taotie's severed arm grew back.
The newly grown arm blocked the crescent-shaped sword energy, but the arm was also riddled with holes.
But as the rotting flesh churned, the arm returned to its original state.
"Super-fast regeneration?" Lu Ziming sneered. "The use of any ability comes at the cost of spiritual energy. I'd like to see how many times you can recover!"
He swung his sword wildly, the fierce sword energy raging across the field. Protected by the light of his mind, he was not afraid of the eerie attacks that would come after dark.
Those strange phenomena couldn't make his sword deflect even an inch.
Meanwhile, the Taotie's body was constantly being destroyed by his sword.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu's grin widened: "Hehehe... Today I'll show you what true immortality is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying scene unfolded.
Suddenly, the rotting flesh on the Taotie's body emitted a strange odor.
The snakes and insects scattered throughout the area, upon smelling this scent, acted like sharks smelling fish; instead of attacking anyone, they charged madly towards the Taotie.
In the blink of an eye, countless snakes and insects strangely covered the Taotie's entire body, frantically devouring its rotting flesh.
They surged and writhed inside the Taotie's body like maggots.
"Hahaha... This is truly heaven's help!"
Lu Ziming never expected that even the supernatural would start helping him.
However, what he didn't notice was that under the strange bites of these snakes and insects, the aura of the Taotie was getting stronger and stronger.
The snakes and insects that had burrowed into His body were strange; they never came out again, as if they had completely merged into one.
"Heavenly Sword Stance!"
Lu Ziming immediately used his killing move, intending to finish off the Taotie in one blow.
You claim to regenerate at super speed? Then I'll blast you to smithereens!
With a single sword strike, a boundless spiritual light soared into the sky, seemingly transforming into a colossal sword that held up the heavens, carrying the might of heaven and earth and possessing an indestructible divine aura. The sky was cleaved open by this sword strike, like a canvas.
Along with it, the Taotie's enormous body was also cleaved open.
boom!
A violent sword light burst forth from the Taotie's body; this sword light actually exploded from within its body.
In an instant, countless sword energies erupted from his body, and the burst of light nearly engulfed everything in the arena.
When the light dissipated, Fang Xiu and Taotie were no longer in the arena, only scattered flesh and blood.
call!
Lu Ziming, panting heavily, said, "Finally solved. Damn it, I wasted so much of my spiritual energy. I might not even be able to go out and make money tomorrow."
Sensing the eerie aura still emanating from all around, his expression changed slightly. He decided to quickly eliminate everyone and then return to his woodshed.
However, at that moment, the sound of flesh writhing suddenly came from the field.
"What!?" Lu Ziming turned around in disbelief.
Then I witnessed a scene I will never forget.
Suddenly, a fair arm emerged from the bloody flesh and mud, followed by another. With a push from both hands, Fang Xiu leaped out of the mud.
He had no injuries, his silver hair cascaded down his back, his blood-red eyes were like jade, and the grotesque mask on his face remained ferocious and terrifying.
"You're still alive?! How is that possible?!"
Lu Ziming was well aware of the power of his Heavenly Sword Stance, which was his trump card. Facing this move, let alone a third-tier Spirit Master, he was confident that he could kill even a Spirit Master who was also at the early stage of the fifth tier.
But now Fang Xiu is not only not dead, but he also looks lively and energetic.
"Death? Hehehe... As long as the eerie existence remains, I am immortal!!"
As he spoke, his left hand continued to chew.
The power of the Heavenly Sword Force had previously turned him into mincemeat, but that didn't matter. What mattered was the endless strangeness of the burial ground.
This means that his spirituality is boundless, and he can freely exert his ability to absorb pain, making him immortal and indestructible.
