Mo Yan was already severely injured, and his strength was reduced to only half of what it used to be; this was not an exaggeration.
Moreover, although Shen Yunhao has borrowed Mo Yan's power at this moment, the two are not used to each other due to the first fusion, and their strength may not be fully utilized.
In other words, if Daoist Qianhe had not chosen to retreat and defend, but instead opted for a head-on attack, it would have been uncertain who would have been stronger.
It's just a pity...
He chose to trust his defensive magic weapon...
And the Void! It ignores all defenses except for divine artifact-level magical treasures!
Clearly, this is no longer a simple Frost Silence Spirit Infusion; it is the true divine artifact "Void Illusion," which, under the full power of Void Realm and even Great Void Realm cultivation, brings its heaven-defying characteristic of "ignoring defense" to its extreme!
Not far away, Luo Yuchen was slightly taken aback and frowned as he looked at Ouyang Jingfeng beside him.
Ouyang Jingfeng stroked his chin and nodded. "As the master of the Sword Pavilion, how can I forcibly imprison a divine sword? Divine artifacts possess spirits. Once they recognize a master, they will not choose a second one unless the original master dies. Since keeping it in my Sword Pavilion is useless, it is better to return it to its true master!"
"They're all seasoned foxes, why pretend to be big shots... If you want to do someone a favor, just say so. This pretense is disgusting. If it weren't for this incident, this brat would have been recruited by your Azure Sky Sword Pavilion long ago, wouldn't he?"
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Ouyang Jingfeng coughed twice but didn't say anything.
"whispering sound!"
Luo Yuchen rolled her eyes... But if that's the case, does that mean Ouyang Jingfeng has already returned the true Void Illusion to Shen Yunhao?
On the other side...
The dull thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh was clearly heard by Daoist Qianhe, and also perceived by all the spectators in the distance.
The Returning Snow Sword pierced Qianhe Daoist's chest with unparalleled precision, the entire sword tip disappearing as easily as a knife cutting through tofu!
"Ugh—!"
Daoist Qianhe let out an extremely shrill scream!
He could feel an incredibly violent and destructive demonic vine energy surging into his body through the longsword, raging and destroying his meridians and dantian like a flood bursting its banks!
What chilled him to the bone even more was that along with the violent spiritual power surged in, there was also an extremely cold and eerie illusionary demonic energy!
Under the erosion of the demonic energy, most of his spiritual energy was instantly destroyed!
"Aaaaaah! Damn it! You all deserve to die!"
Completely driven mad, in a fit of rage and despair, Daoist Qianhe advanced instead of retreating. A faint, almost imperceptible, crimson glint flashed in his eyes. A strange, viscous, and ominous crimson energy, which had been gathering in his free left hand, suddenly appeared. Taking advantage of the close distance, he slammed his palm into Shen Yunhao's chest!
"puff--!"
Shen Yunhao felt an indescribable, insidious, destructive force penetrate his body. His entire chest visibly collapsed, his sternum shattered, and his internal organs were ruptured and displaced by the terrifying blood-fiend power. In an instant, excruciating pain swept through his entire body!
He ultimately only possessed Mo Yan's cultivation and spiritual energy, but not the terrifying physical body of the Dark Abyss Demon Vine!
Qianhe Daoist's near-death counterattack directly took away most of his life!
Even so, Shen Yunhao's eyes, filled with purple light, showed no fear or hesitation. Instead, a cold, triumphant smirk curled at the corner of his blood-stained lips.
"So... you've finally been forced to use the power of the Blood Sect, you old dog!"
The next moment, countless fine golden threads suddenly erupted from Shen Yunhao's body, permeating his entire body. His shattered internal organs and collapsed chest were frantically reshaped and healed at an eerie speed.
Looking back now, it's clear that because of the existence of the Vast Ocean Heart, Shen Yunhao hadn't been forced to produce those golden threads for quite some time!
Completely disregarding the terrifying injuries he was recovering from, Shen Yunhao, taking advantage of the close proximity between the two, clenched his left fist and delivered a powerful punch to Qianhe Daoist's lower abdomen, specifically his dantian!
He knew that every second was precious, and once Tianyuan Daoist arrived, killing him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
"boom!"
Another muffled thud! Accompanied by a crisp sound of bones shattering... this time it was Shen Yunhao's own left arm bone that broke inch by inch under the enormous recoil force!
But in that instant, Qianhe Daoren's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with despair and disbelief!
"No--!!!"
However, before he could continue screaming, several sharp purple vines suddenly emerged from Shen Yunhao's sleeves like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, and fiercely stabbed into Qianhe Daoren's unprotected brow and sea of consciousness!
Without the protection of spiritual energy, the physical body is as fragile as tofu in front of these spikes that contain the power of the demonic vine's origin!
"Pfft!"
The wisteria thorn pierced precisely between his eyebrows!
But in that very instant!
A voice, extremely gloomy, filled with boundless rage and supreme majesty, suddenly exploded in Shen Yunhao's ears like a thunderclap from the heavens, shaking him to the point of shattering his soul!
"How dare you, you brat!"
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying impact force as vast as the sea suddenly appeared and slammed into Shen Yunhao!
"Bang—!"
Just like being hit head-on by a high-speed mountain, Shen Yunhao coughed up blood and was blasted away, his consciousness instantly becoming blurred.
Just as he was about to crash to the ground, a white figure, as ethereal as a fairy, suddenly leaped up from the scorched forest below, opened its arms, and caught him steadily in its embrace!
The immense impact caused the figure to shudder violently, letting out a muffled groan as his face turned deathly pale and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The crystal jade pendant she wore shattered into dust upon impact... Clearly, in order to catch Shen Yunhao and offset that terrifying impact, she had also sacrificed an invaluable life-saving treasure.
"Yao'er!"
Upon seeing the white figure from afar, Nie Qingshuang couldn't help but scream in surprise!
At this critical moment, the one who suddenly appeared and caught Shen Yunhao was none other than Ning Yuyao, who had disappeared earlier!
At the same time, at the spot where Daoist Qianhe had died, a middle-aged Daoist wearing a Tai Chi robe, with a sinister face and cold eyes, appeared out of thin air.
He casually picked up the limp corpse of Daoist Qianhe and examined it briefly. He sensed that the life force within the body had been completely extinguished, and even the soul had been utterly shattered and annihilated by the last sharp spikes of the demonic vine.
The gloom on the Taoist's face transformed into a terrifying killing intent that almost froze the surrounding air!
He slowly raised his head, his cold, gray eyes staring at Shen Yunhao, who was being held unconscious in Ning Yuyao's arms. Before he could speak, a calm yet icy voice slowly emanated from him.
"You little beast... what a vicious method!"
This person is none other than the Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, a top expert with a long-standing reputation in the world... Tian Yuan Dao Ren!
