Chapter 2624: Hun Zang Heavily Injured

After using the Heaven-severing strike, Hun Zang became rather pale. He seemed slightly haggard.

No one would be well off if they expended half the power of their soul in an instant.

However, this price came with an extremely astonis.h.i.+ng effect. Having received the Heaven-severing strike, Huangfu Guiyi was now clutching his head in pain as he rapidly retreated while grunting in agony. His face had become sheet-white.

Two streaks of blood ran down from his eyes.

His sheet-white face and the two horrifying streaks of blood created quite a chilling sight.

At that moment, Huangfu Guiyi had been completely incapacitated. The heavy injuries to his soul had temporarily cut off all his senses from the outside world.

Hun Zang glanced past Huangfu Guiyi coldly while feeling a tinge of pity in his heart.

This was because killing Huangfu Guiyi was a piece of cake in his current state. However, it would take a little more time. The mountain soul’s defences were currently facing the danger of collapsing, and once that happened, the Martial Soul Array would definitely be disrupted by Xu Zhiping and the others. He did not have the time to kill Huangfu Guiyi at all.

Swis.h.!.+

With a single movement, Hun Zang vanished. He hurried towards the mountain soul as quickly as he could.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rumbles near the mountain soul never stopped. Instead, they clearly became more and more hurried and more and more frequent. Gongsun Zhi wielded G.o.dslayer’s sword like he had endless power, swinging it at the mountain soul as hard as he could. He moved faster and faster.

The mountain soul shook violently as the barrier of light trembled greatly. It was showing signs of cracking.

The mountain soul clearly could not last much longer.

“The Martial Soul Mountain is almost giving way. Leader, quickly!” Xu Zhiping called out as he continued to keep the mountain soul trapped with the Laws of the Sun. However, there was no joy on his face at all. Instead, he had become extremely stern, and his voice had become rather frantic as well.

He had been constantly paying attention to the battle between Huangfu Guiyi and Hun Zang. He clearly saw Huangfu Guiyi getting heavily injured, so he became filled with fear, or even dread, towards the Heaven-severing technique of the Martial Soul lineage.

He possessed similar strength to Huangfu Guiyi. Since even Huangfu Guiyi had suffered such a horrible fate, it was impossible for him to end up any better if he were struck by the same secret technique.

As a result, he could not help but panic slightly when he sensed Hun Zang hurrying over.

He had completely offended the Martial Soul lineage today. Once the Martial Soul lineage escaped, his Xu family would be the target of the Martial Soul lineage’s endless vengeance. That would definitely be a disaster for the Xu family.

To the other side, Gongsun Zhi had also learnt from Xu Zhiping that Hun Zang was hurrying over. After a moment of hesitation, craziness immediately filled his eyes. He suddenly cut open his hands and allowed his blood to spray onto G.o.dslayer’s sword.

Immediately, G.o.dslayer’s sword shook gently. It produced a deep thrum as if the slumbering sword spirit had begun to awaken under the stimulation of Gongsun Zhi’s blood.

At the same time, a devastating power even greater than before erupted from G.o.dslayer’s sword. The terrifying energy surged out, sculpting an extremely blurry figure.

G.o.dslayer’s sword seemed to gain a certain sense of charm with the appearance of the blurry figure such that the sword became something living.

At the same time, Xu Zhiping’s eyes narrowed. He stared right at the blurry figure drawn from the surging energy on the protector sword, and a wondrous light appeared in his eyes.

“I can actually sense the sliver of a presence that belongs to something living from the sword. It looks like these protector swords aren’t as simple as I imagined them to be.” Xu Zhiping was secretly surprised.

However, due to his own, limited power, Gongsun Zhi failed to notice this at all. He bellowed out at the sky and clutched the hilt with both hands. Energy surged around him as he swung the sword at the mountain soul again after being strengthened.

With a boom, the defensive barrier around the mountain soul sunk in with the slash. Where G.o.dslayer’s sword had struck, the surroundings of the barrier constantly creaked as cracks appeared.

Very soon, the power of the slash ran out. It had almost shattered the defences of the mountain soul.

“Hahahaha, Martial Soul lineage, I would like to see how you handle my next attack!” Gongsun Zhi laughed aloud. Through G.o.dslayer’s sword, he knew that the defences of the Martial Soul Mountain had reached its limits already.

Without any hesitation, madness flared up in his eyes, and he lifted the sword high above his head again. His hands trembled as he held the sword.

His essence blood constantly poured out from the wounds on his hands. He allowed the hilt to absorb the blood in exchange for even greater power.

G.o.dslayer’s sword would exhaust quite a lot of Gongsun Zhi’s essence blood with every such attack. This was equivalent to throwing his life on his line, using his own life to fight. Gongsun Zhi could not deal many attacks like that with his current strength.

As Gongsun Zhi slashed out, the blurry figure appeared once again on the sword. It was connected to G.o.dslayer’s sword such that they seemed to be perfectly fused and inseparable. It was the sword, and the sword was it.

However, it was just too blurry. Only a rough silhouette was visible. Whether it be the facial features or the limbs, none of them were clear. It was very easy to confuse it with a chaotic ball of energy.

Gongsun Zhi trembled even more. His face had also paled. He had lost a third of his essence blood, quite a great loss to his vitality.

However, his face was filled with madness and excitement. He clenched the sword and suddenly swung down, erupting with devastating power that could split the galaxies. The sword fell directly towards the mountain soul like a sword of judgement.

“Argh!” At the same time, Hun Zang bellowed out furiously. His presence became astonis.h.i.+ng as he charged right towards G.o.dslayer’s sword.

In an instant, he arrived before G.o.dslayer’s sword. All of his energy immediately surged out, forming a huge s.h.i.+eld in front of the sword.

Behind him was the mountain soul. In its current state, it definitely could not endure the attack.

Boom!

With a great rumble, the s.h.i.+eld condensed with all the power that Hun Zang possessed crumbled like paper before G.o.dslayer’s sword. The sword continued onwards without stopping, directly pa.s.sing through Hun Zang’s body.

Hun Zang had been cut into two along his chest. Even his medium quality G.o.d artifact armor had been split in half.

At the same time, the expressions of the seven people who maintained the Martial Soul Array all changed. Blood sprayed from their mouths.

They were connected to Hun Zang through the Martial Soul Array. As Hun Zang was heavily injured, they were affected as well.

“First senior brother!” Su Qi cried out as she paled in fright.

The expressions of Chu Jian, Yue Chao, Yun Ziting, Bai Rufeng, and Qing Shan had changed drastically as well.

Boom!

At the same time, a deafening rumble rang out. The sword landed on the mountain soul with a resplendent glow, and the defences finally caved in, shattering under the strike.

Jian Chen and the others who currently stood within the Martial Soul Array were directly exposed before Gongsun Zhi, Xu Zhiping, and Sha Yun.
