Chapter 699: Chapter 709: Wounded and on the Run
The price Elder Zi Xu paid could very well be grave injury.
Death, should not be likely.
After all, both his and You Hu’s strength rank among the elite within the Nine-star Sword Gods. Together, they should have no problem preserving their lives.
However, within Hell Valley, danger is unpredictable, crises lurk at every turn, and the wisest choice is to always maintain peak condition. To be prepared for the killing tribulation that could descend at any moment.
This is also the principle of preserving oneself through wisdom.
"Chu Feng, retreat quickly!"
There was a firmness in You Hu’s voice, along with a hint of intense urgency.
"I will not retreat! All three of you, enter my Sword Array!"
Since Chu Feng dared to challenge Hu Yanhao, he naturally had something to rely on. The Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation Diagram, when necessary, could certainly unleash unbelievable power.
In the past, Chu Feng, together with individuals at the Great Sword Master Realm like Han Shuang and Han Xiaoying, were able to form the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, allowing them to challenge even peak Sword Saints.
They could even make enemies cry for their fathers and beg for mercy.
Now, Chu Feng together with two Nine-star Sword Gods and one Three-star Sword God, as well as himself.
The combined power of four people, he believed, would undoubtedly give Hu Yanhao a surprise.
Even with a clever scheme, slaying Hu Yanhao was highly possible.
Having consecutively killed two Nine-star Sword God level experts, Chu Feng’s boldness had grown even greater. In killing enemies, he became more confident.
"Sword Formation Diagram!" You Hu’s bell-like giant eyes lit up.
"It seems to be a very advanced Sword Formation Diagram, even more advanced than Si Huang’s Small Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram," Elder Zi Xu also revealed a look of joy on his face.
If possible, no one wishes to get injured.
Elder Zi Xu was quite old and was even less willing to get injured. At his age, having stagnated at the Nine-star Sword God Realm for many years, his hopes to break through to the Supreme Sword God Realm were slim.
If he were to sustain a serious injury, it could very likely put an end to his path of advancing to the Supreme Sword God level.
All three of them flickered without hesitation and entered the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation Diagram.
"Follow my command! Slash!"
Upon Chu Feng’s instruction within the invisible Sword Formation Diagram, as the four took their positions, the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was immediately formed. All four figures vanished.
All that could be seen in this area was a grayish haze, with Evil Qi surging to the sky, brimming with Killing Aura.
The mere vile and ominous aura emanating from the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was enough to chill one’s heart and courage.
"Master, watch me!"
The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was telepathically linked with Chu Feng, and the cooperation between them was absolutely perfect.
It floated in mid-air, faintly revealing a constantly changing, fierce gray shadow.
Within that shadow, pairs of deep, sinister eyes appeared. They were neither as kind as human eyes, nor as ferocious as demon beast eyes.
To sum it up in two words, they were eerie.
"Talent Skills, Demon Eye Soul Diamond!"
Facing a Supreme Sword God adversary, the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was also not careless. It directly used its newly awakened talent skills.
All one hundred of its eyes opened in a flash.
Emitting streamers of black gleam.
They converged to form an extremely terrifying gray soul diamond.
This was no physical attack, but the most eerie, hardest to defend Divine Soul attack.
The shape of that soul diamond was like the Flint Drill used by the mythical Suiren to ignite fire by drilling wood.
Whoosh!
Its speed was incredibly fast, likely not far from the speed of light.
In a single flash, like a swift arrow, it effortlessly pierced through all of Hu Yanhao’s defenses. Be it Hu Yanhao’s Bull Head Magic Shield, his Defensive Sword Soul, or the Sword Domain, and so on.
All were unable to stop it in the slightest.
To defend against a Divine Soul attack, one must possess a Magical Treasure capable of such defense.
Unfortunately, such treasures were extremely rare.
Though Hu Yanhao was the number one Heavenly Pride of the Dragon Slayer Sect, he did not have such a treasure. Naturally, he was also unable to defend against the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King’s Demon Eye Soul Diamond attack.
"Ah——"
He could not help but let out an extremely miserable scream.
"What an opportunity!"
A fierce killing intent flashed in Chu Feng’s eyes; as he resisted Hu Yanhao’s full-power slash with his Sword Formation, he also fiercely counterattacked.
Combining the strength of four people, he unleashed an extremely terrifying and radiant sword light.
Boom!
Boom!
The sword lights from both sides struck each other almost simultaneously.
Hu Yanhao’s Bull Head Magic Shield, already struggling to fend off Si Huang’s sword lotus strike, emitted a mournful shriek and shrank sharply as it could not withstand Chu Feng’s violent slash.
It flew back into Hu Yanhao’s body.
Chu Feng’s sword light, with its momentum unabated, fiercely slashed onto Hu Yanhao’s body.
Hum!
Who knew that Hu Yanhao was truly formidable. Even as his Divine Soul suffered the assault and he experienced extreme pain.
The moment the Bull Head Magic Shield flew back into his body, he had already reacted.
The Defensive Sword Soul exerted its power, staunchly defending against Chu Feng’s sword light slash.
"I’ll lend you a hand!"
Si Huang exclaimed with joy as her sword lotus bloomed fiercely.
Boom!
Hu Yanhao’s Defensive Sword Soul instantly disintegrated. However, Si Huang’s sword lotus also exhausted all its energy and likewise dissipated.
Chu Feng’s Little Extermination Sword Light then fiercely slashed down.
Hu Yanhao violently threw back his head and arched his back, narrowly avoiding decapitation.
Bang!
Chu Feng’s sword light struck Hu Yanhao’s shoulder.
Crack!
Although Hu Yanhao was wearing Treasure Clothes of Magical Treasure Level, they could not withstand this slash.
The Treasure Clothes were torn apart, and the sword light carved into Hu Yanhao’s shoulder blade.
In an instant, a gash appeared, and silver blood sprayed out.
"Ah...get lost!"
Having suffered such serious injuries, Hu Yanhao let out a scream of pain, and simultaneously swung his sword wildly in retaliation, his body transforming into a lightning bolt.
With a flash, he escaped onto the back of the Crimson Dragon.
"Go!"
He rode off on the Crimson Dragon.
Within Hell Valley, the Crimson Dragon couldn’t fly and could only slither like a snake, which looked extremely comical and amusing.
"You little beast, I will not let you off! I will avenge this debt!" While Hu Yanhao roared with anger, he still retained a certain combat strength. At least, fifty percent of his combat strength was for sure.
But the Treasure Clothes he wore were also ruined.
That would pain him for quite some time.
The wound on his shoulder was bone-deep, and without a year or two of rest, it would be difficult to heal completely.
"There are plenty out there looking for revenge against me; I’m just worried you’ll fall directly in this Hell Valley!" Chu Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face revealing a mischievous smile.
He had already dispelled the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation and stored the Sword Formation Diagram away.
This was an exotic treasure, not to be flaunted carelessly. It was better to be cautious.
If anyone eyed it with desire and stole it, that would be a loss.
"He escaped..." Si Huang’s beautiful face showed a look of astonishment. In her dreams, she never would have thought that Hu Yanhao, with his explosively strong power, would actually end up fleeing while injured.
And all this was caused by Chu Feng, the man who she had always looked down upon and belittled.
"How strong is he, really? How many more cards is he hiding?"
Si Huang felt that Chu Feng was like an enigmatic man.
Upon the first encounter, he seemed plain and unremarkable, not standing out at all.
However, when an enemy engaged with him, the cards Chu Feng revealed one after another were enough to dazzle and bewitch.
