Chapter 515 Attacking the Red Mist Mountain Ridge 22
Pei Xiaoling finally left the warship and arrived opposite the Poison Toad Ancestor.
He floated in mid-air, his figure appearing extremely small in front of the enormous blood-red toad.
It's as if the giant toad only needed to exhale a breath and Pei Xiaoling would be blown away and disappear.
But in fact, in the next instant, Pei Xiaoling grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It grows tall against the wind.
In a short moment, Pei Xiaoling had grown tall, like a giant standing tall between heaven and earth!
The knife he held in his hand was originally just a black blade, which did not match his seemingly gentle appearance. Now, it had transformed into an extremely large heavy knife, and one could clearly see that the dark patterns hidden within the black blade were actually tiny skulls with sharp, menacing teeth.
Only now, with the blade magnified this much, can the faces of those skulls be clearly seen.
Strangely enough, even though they were just bones, you could still clearly see their expressions.
Or it might be a ferocious expression, or a loud laugh, or a mocking tone, or an angry outburst, or a roar to the heavens...
Various emotions are clearly discernible.
·
Zhong Cai was stunned when he saw the black knife.
[Old Wu! This knife is so strange!]
Wu Shaogan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the knife.
Then, he suddenly felt a sharp, needle-like pain in his brain, very slight but not negligible.
He realized then that this was not something to be looked at for long.
【Ah Cai, don't stare.】
After reminding Zhong Cai, Wu Shaogan remembered that Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing, who were also in the group chat, also gave a reminder.
[Dongxiao, Senior Brother Xuan, that sword is strange; don't look at it too much.]
Wu Dongxiao responded fiercely to Wu Shaogan.
【Oh no! Uncle, you reminded me too late! My head is already throbbing!】
Xuan Bing remained silent for a moment.
He hadn't looked at it much.
In truth, Xuan Bing had never considered himself a particularly cautious person before, but ever since he gained Wu Dongxiao as his junior brother, he had become more and more cautious each year. So much so that he instinctively closed his eyes upon seeing those skulls.
Otherwise, with his current Palace Building realm, he might easily be attracted by those skulls and become deeply entangled in them.
At this moment, Xuan Bing merely twitched his lips slightly, raised his hand to press on Wu Dongxiao's forehead to relieve his pain.
Wu Dongxiao hummed and howled a few times in his mind before slowly adjusting his state.
Zhong Cai's eyelids twitched slightly. He really wanted to slap his cheap nephew on the head, but because the guy's face was visibly pale and he was obviously not feeling well, he held back his restless hand.
Dongxiao, be careful.
I, for example, am not easily fooled!
In fact, Zhong Cai's first reaction upon seeing that strange thing was to share it with Wu Shaogan, rather than to take a closer look, which is why she didn't get caught up in it.
Later, when Wu Shaogan reminded him, he naturally stopped paying close attention.
They escaped quite easily.
·
Zhong Cai continued talking to Wu Shaogan about the black knife.
[I'd never seen those skeletons before, but I think the increasing ferocity of Lord Pei during battle is related to them.]
Wu Shaogan nodded.
The skull symbol evokes a variety of emotions, each different; even its smile is negative.
[It must have been extremely difficult for the Grand Master to control this sword back then.]
However, the fact that Pei Xiaoling could summon this black blade as his companion treasure shows that it is very compatible with Pei Xiaoling.
Therefore, Pei Xiaoling's original personality was probably quite unpredictable, which contrasted sharply with his appearance.
In comparison, Ji Zhan, with his flamboyant appearance and upright demeanor, is also quite different. He is probably the one who holds Pei Xiaoling back, and he is also the one with a truly good nature.
Zhong Cai had a similar idea. After exchanging a glance with Wu Shaogan, the two tacitly agreed.
Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing were both pondering the same thing.
They all restrained their emotions, making sure their attention wasn't solely focused on the black blade, before continuing to watch the battle.
At this point, Wu Shaogan also continued to explain what he had learned.
Everyone instantly focused again.
·
High in the sky, Pei Xiaoling, wielding a massive black sword, slashed down at the giant toad!
Yes, although his body had grown countless times larger, he still "didn't touch the ground," and he dodged through the air.
The moment the blade was slashed, a faint layer of black mist could be seen swirling around it.
But this black energy was very active, as if it were a real living being, and not just black energy.
Even when the black blade is magnified to this extent, only such a thin layer of black mist can be seen. This suggests that when Pei Xiaoling is of normal size and fighting, this amount of black mist attached to the blade would likely be undetectable to both the fighter and the onlookers.
Wu Shaogan squinted.
The black mist was spewing from the mouths of those skulls.
[A very ominous feeling.]
As if to confirm Wu Shaogan's words, the sword light slashed out by the black knife was indeed extremely fierce, and it looked no different from the previous slashes. However, in reality, every wisp of black energy was mixed into the sword light, just like a shadow in the brilliance, following the giant toad like a shadow.
The giant toad suddenly leaped.
Yes, toads and similar creatures certainly have very strong jumping abilities.
With this leap, he jumped higher than Pei Xiaoling's head, and then exhaled an invisible stream of air from above.
The airflow, though seemingly invisible, reacted as if it were an extremely hard weapon the moment it met the black blade, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing.
Immediately afterwards, the clanging sounds continued one after another, so fast that they almost formed a straight line in the human ear!
It was impossible to tell when each collision sound occurred.
At this moment, the frequency of the blade's movement increased, and it was impossible to tell when the attack would begin. It was as if the brilliant blade light had never weakened, forming a continuous radiance that seemed to never even tremble. It was both beautiful and extremely dangerous.
The collision between the invisible air currents and the sword light was extremely intense, but Pei Xiaoling, who was still floating, and the blood-red giant toad that had already landed on the ground, hardly moved and simply faced each other head-on.
·
Zhong Cai squinted, then opened her eyes, then squinted again.
Aside from the blinding glint of the blade, nothing else could be seen.
From an outsider's perspective, the giant blood-red toad was quite comical. It seemed to have its mouth wide open, and its throat seemed to be trembling, or perhaps it was constantly bulging, as if it were making a "silent scream."
Zhong Cai also carefully examined the throat... and it was indeed swollen.
Clearly, the giant toad's attacks came from its mouth, which suggests they weren't exactly clean.
After watching for a while, he always had the feeling that if Lord Pei hadn't been able to block the attack with his sword, something unknown would have smeared all over Lord Pei's face.
What's even more astonishing is that as the two men "communicated" face to face, almost without moving, the land around them never stopped changing.
First, several huge ravines, clearly cleaved by a blade, appeared every now and then. The blade energy swirled around them was intense and lingered for a long time, constantly damaging the surrounding ground and causing countless spiderweb-like cracks to appear.
Then there were some empty spaces on the ground, as if they were being struck by some invisible hammer. In all directions, there were depressions of varying degrees, sometimes large and sometimes small, as if they had been smashed by some terrifying fist. It made people feel as if they were hearing "thump thump" sounds coming from there.
These are clearly traces left by the battle between the two Heavenly Beings.
As the fighting on both sides dragged on, the trenches cleaved by the blades grew more and more numerous, many even overlapping, spreading outwards and leaving the land shattered and broken.
The invisible force hammered out those areas, regardless of size, and they all connected together. The areas of varying depth gradually became very deep, and in some places the soil was even compacted... As it hammered, not only was this area compacted, but it also continued to sink deeper; the trenches that had been cleaved by the knife were also hammered many times, and the sinking was even faster.
In this way, the land seemed to have been ravaged and repaired repeatedly, maintaining this trend of continuous destruction and subsidence, gradually turning from mountains into flat land, and then seemingly sinking into a deep valley.
The battle between the blood-red giant toad and Pei Xiaoling was still as intense as ever.
·
Apart from the Zhong Wu brothers, Wu Xuan and his wife, many more cultivators came out to watch the battle.
Many people were still shocked by the black knife, and they discussed it among themselves.
Those who have undergone Nirvana and are still fighting on the two sides of good and evil, those who have survived are still fighting each other.
However, the battle at Tongtian had a significant impact on them. Regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, the cultivators on both sides tried to use the residual power of that energy to cause their opponents considerable trouble.
And trouble did indeed arise.
At this point, we must commend the righteous path of Nirvana for its unwavering resolve.
The residual power that could be transmitted was already very small, and Nirvana cultivators wouldn't be unable to handle it. The real trouble was the mental impact that the skulls on the black blade had on the cultivators.
The evil path is easily filled with various emotions, and before long these emotions are drained, leaving him unaware of what he is doing, in a daze, and even his counterattacks become somewhat sluggish.
Those who have attained Nirvana on the righteous path, why don't you seize this opportunity?
Those who can cultivate to this level of righteous Nirvana, if not 100%, are at least 80% people with very strong willpower.
They gained the upper hand under these circumstances, and when the evil forces wavered, the righteous forces intervened in time.
As a result, many more heretics fell victim to their influence.
The remaining few heretics barely came to their senses, but they were all terrified.
They never expected the fighting to be this brutal! And so much has happened in such a short time? So many of their comrades have died.
The situation is very serious.
They may not care much about their accomplices, but with most of their accomplices gone, there are more righteous forces surrounding them.
Damn it... It seems like none of the righteous path's Nirvana was lost!
