Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 880 – Behead

Outside the formation, although Wu Xuning's mouth and tongue were dry, he was in a much better state. Nonetheless, his hatred toward Deng Changfeng and Shu Ya did not reduce but increased.

He stared with bright eyes at the Illusion Formation as he wanted to see the changes inside, but the dense white mists inside were preventing him from doing so. He was worried as he did not know what was happening inside.

In the sky, the big cauldron and the flying serpent were still in a stalemate. Lights were s.h.i.+ning in all directions while their powers spread all over.

Wu Xuning touched his weapon and was rather eager to join in the fight. “Can Brother Tianrui defeat that devilish lady? It has been quite some time.”

Xue Xuanle beamed like a flower and looked certain as she answered, “Don't worry. Given Big Brother Yu's cultivation base in formations, it won't be difficult for him to kill an Advanced Spiritualist.”

Wu Xuning was stunned for a brief moment. He could not help but show a bitter look on his face as he sighed. “He's truly a G.o.d-favored one. He's only a Rudimentary Spiritualist, and even if he's a.s.sisted by his formation, the fact that he could kill an Advanced Spiritualist… This is too frightening!”

Xue Xuanle's eyes gleamed. For some reason, she was particularly happy to hear someone praise Ou Yangming.

Wu Xuning could also tell that the young lady had fallen into Ou Yangming's charm, but he did not expose her. Women had their little thoughts, and so did men.

His mind changed drastically after he witnessed how formidable Ou Yangming was.

He rolled his eyes and thought, 'If Xue Xuanle's able to get close to this G.o.d-favored one, the situation in Huixun City would be entirely different.

Not to mention that the Xue family could rise again, but the Wu family would also benefit greatly.

Normally, one would have 3 opportunities to change one's fate throughout one's life. The first would be through reincarnation, the second would be through cultivation, and the third would be through marriage.

Now that the 3 opportunities were right in front of Xue Xuanle, how could Wu Xuning expose her?

All of a sudden, Deng Changfeng staggered and fell on the ground such that his calves and knees were buried inside.

A cauldron was meant to be a sacred object that could suppress a country's destiny, so how could it not be heavy? At this point, blood could be seen on the corner of Deng Changfeng's mouth, and he felt bitter about this.

He did not think that the young fellow, whom he regarded as an ant, would suddenly turn into a formation master. It would be fine if the fellow was merely a formation master but most importantly, his formation could trap an Advanced Spiritualist. This was beyond Deng Changfeng's knowledge.

A fleeting red light could be seen in Deng Changfeng's eyes. He later struck his chest and spat out essence and blood.

With a hoa.r.s.e and dry voice, he yelled like a mad ferocious beast, “Blood Refinement!” Before his voice was gone, he swung the spiritual Qi in his palm. Consequently, his essence and blood in the air transformed into red mists and a.s.similated into the big cauldron.

The change happened too quickly, hence Xue Boren could not stop it in time.

Red lights surged on the big cauldron and spread from bottom to top. The mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts on it seemed to have come to life.

There were so many red lights at this moment as though they were retrieved from h.e.l.l.

The mountains shook while the ground rumbled as countless red lines were released from the big cauldron.

Deng Changfeng lifted his right hand and had a muddled look in his eyes. Clear air rose while murky air sank as if he carried Yin and Yang energies. They transformed into all things on earth and emitted a peculiar light.

When Deng Changfeng pointed at the sky, the big cauldron instantly moved and crushed the flying serpent in front of him like a small hill. Subsequently, the serpent turned into light spots that dispersed in the air. The void vibrated while gravel flew into the sky, and the universe fell silent.

Xue Boren's face changed. He lowered his center of gravity and retreated.

An unprecedented sense of crisis appeared in his heart, and it made him feel like he had fallen into an ice hole.

Deng Changfeng sneered. “I led this attack with my essence and blood and used my Qi momentum as the connecting line. It's simply unavoidable and can only be confronted head-on. Once I settle you, I'll go and take care of that young fella!”

He was initially unwilling to use his essence and blood to lead this attack, but the big cauldron was too heavy. Moreover, he vaguely had a bad feeling, and the sudden sense that appeared had, several times, saved him from being killed. Therefore, the man decided to finish this fight quickly.

Xue Boren suppressed his fear and bit the tip of his tongue.

As his sabers spun, saber-lights that looked like horned dragons flew out. 1, 2, 3…

More of them eventually flew out, and they carried a unique rhythm. Even though their attacking powers were not the strongest, they were released non-stop.

The surging saber-lights kept weakening the big cauldron's solid aura. Concurrently, Xue Boren increased his speed and pulled the distance apart so that he could slash a few more saber-lights to break the cauldron.

At the spur of the moment, Xue Boren's eyes lit up. “It's time!”

He combined the sabers and swept them at the same time as he roared, “Pipa Falls! Storm Comes!” 2 saber-lights that looked like horned dragons instantly became entangled with each other and became one. They carried the magnanimous momentum of a hidden dragon coming out of its mountain and charged at the big cauldron.

Xue Xuanle was elated. She exclaimed, “The “Pipa Falls, Storm Comes” is considered the mightiest technique in the Xue family. Great Elder Xue has killed Advanced Spiritualists with this technique, so I'm sure he'll emerge victorious.”

Wu Xuning was surprised yet overjoyed. He would be free from danger if Deng Changfeng was killed.

Who knew, Deng Changfeng sneered and was not bothered about this technique at all. He scoffed and uttered, “You're courting death!”

With a flash of thought, the big cauldron exploded more violently with a more forceful power that seemed to be able to suppress eternity and crumble mountains. It pushed forward as well.

“Boom…”

The ground shook. The saber-lights only managed to block the cauldron for a single breath before they crumbled bit by bit and disappeared.

Rumbles were heard in the void while boundless airwaves were stirred up. Instead of stopping, the big cauldron flickered in a cold light and aimed for Xue Boren's chest. A domineering and irresistible power entered the elder's body through his chest. As a result, his chest dented, and he flew away like a cannonball. He coughed blood from his heart and lungs, and his organs had all been s.h.i.+fted. Blood splattered out of his mouth as if he had plenty of them.

The elder crashed into numerous ancient trees into halves before he fell hard onto the ground.

Xue Xuanle and Wu Xuning exchanged glances. They turned pale and noticed how frightened each other was.

In particular, Xue Xuanle could not believe that the “Pipa Falls, Storm Comes” was so utterly defeated.

Deng Changfeng smirked and showed his white teeth. Red lights flickered in his eyes as he chuckled. “Don't worry, I'll kill you with my next attack. It'll be fast and won't hurt a bit.” With that, he pointed his finger at the sky, then the big cauldron zoomed toward Xue Boren.

Xue Boren's face twitched. His organs were no longer in place, and the spiritual Qi inside his dantian had dispersed. He could not even move his fingers at all, so how could he dodge the attack?

As such, he could only watch as the big cauldron grew bigger and became closer to him. He was helpless.

Xue Xuanle widened her eyes so much that they were going to pop. She felt like she had returned to the cave outside the ruined temple when they were pursued by Teng Jiao. She was in despair.

During Xue Boren's life-or-death moment, an incredibly cold voice was heard coming from the formation. “How presumptuous!”

Quickly after, a figure flew out from the Illusion Formation's mists and turned his wrist to retrieve a spear.

At the same time, he wore the Star Trace Suit and stretched out his back, then he flew backward toward the big cauldron in the form of a light stream.

However, the big cauldron was falling too quickly and had almost turned into an afterimage. Given the young fellow's speed, he would not be able to stop it in time.

Ou Yangming's eyes flashed. He roared furiously with great momentum.

The Heavenly Phoenix Fire inside his body burned while the spiritual Qi inside his dantian and the blood inside his meridians boiled. The air around him became distorted at an unbelievable speed, so much so that the mists above the Forest of Death were swept away in all directions.

Runes that looked neither like mists nor clouds lit up on the Star Trace Suit.

“Star Trace Discharge!” Ou Yangming shouted. With a flash of thought, 5 visible green threads condensed in the sky. They were exceptionally thin and were countless times thinner than silk. The green thread-like cold stars quickly dimmed and interlaced into a net, which later shrouded the big cauldron.

Just as the big cauldron was less than 3 meters away from Xue Boren's head, the big green net spread swiftly and was as closely packed as seaweeds in the sea. It flew down to envelop the cauldron.

Following that, a dim light flickered on the big net, and a tremendously sharp slicing power burst out.

It took less than a second for the big cauldron to break and turn into innumerable black mists that drifted away with the wind.

Due to the Star Trace Suit, Ou Yangming's meridians expanded as tyrannical power from the suit entered his body and flowed along his meridians. He moved nimbly and pounced like a roc[1] as he charged at Deng Changfeng at lightning speed.

Deng Changfeng's face changed. He sneered. “I misjudged you—you're a master.”

“So noisy!” Ou Yangming sounded cold. When he held his spear tightly, all of the tadpole-like runes on it shone and emitted dim lights. As he lifted it in front of him, a spear shadow burst out and carried the momentum of a river rus.h.i.+ng into the sea to strike his opponent.

Deng Changfeng felt like his mind was frozen. His brain seemed to be in a mess, and he could not resist at all.

A “crack” was heard as Deng Changfeng's head simply rolled away. The scene was unimaginably shocking.

Xue Xuanle was so stupefied that her red lips parted. She wondered, 'An Advanced Spiritualist was killed just like that? Is this… A myth?”

Wu Xuning's mind was blank…

When he looked at the Star Trace Suit and Ou Yangming, who looked like the G.o.d of war, his mouth became drier than before.

That said, Xue Boren was the most dumbfounded one out of all of them. He was in an intense fight against Deng Changfeng for a long time, thus he knew very well how strong the man was. Nonetheless, the evil man, who could be considered a top powerhouse in Huixun City, was killed by one hit and died without being able to utter a single word.

'Isn't Younger Brother Tianrui a formation master? How is his combat power so terrifying?' The usually calm great elder from the Xue family was bewildered.

Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief. 'I made it in time.'

Earlier on, he was using his formation to kill Shu Ya and had just pushed her to a dead-end. When he sensed through his mental power that Xue Boren was in danger, he quickly stopped to save the elder.

At this moment, the Illusion Formation broke as if it was a large mouth that had just been torn by an enormous power. It was a hideous scene.

A figure with unkempt hair flew out using a secret technique that burned one's essence and blood. She drew a perfect arc in the sky and went into the dead Qi.
