Chapter 4255 Let this broaden your horizons
After the bone flute played its eerie, bone-chilling sound, Hu Jiuqing's expression changed noticeably. Kasang's bone flute was forged from the resentful bones of a thousand people. When it was played loudly, the impact on one's spirit was extremely strong. Back then, we hid inside the Eastern Emperor Bell, a top-tier magical artifact and one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, which is designed to suppress evil forces. Yet, the bone flute was still able to penetrate the barrier of the Eastern Emperor Bell and directly affect us. Even with our ears covered, the sound still reached the depths of our hearts, leaving us nowhere to hide.
If this continues for too long, many people will be affected by the bone flute and go insane.
Even Hu Jiuqing, with his cultivation at the Upper Immortal Realm, was still affected the moment the bone flute was played. Although the effect was extremely brief, it was still possible to succeed if one seized the opportunity.
I was just waiting for Kassan to make his move. The moment I heard the sound of the bone flute, my magic sword pierced Hu Jiuqing's heart again.
We failed the first time, so we can't afford to make any mistakes this time.
Because this is the only time, it will be impossible to ambush Hu Jiuqing again, so he will definitely be more careful.
However, at the same time I thrust out that sword, the Eastern Emperor Bell rang out, striking at the same moment as me.
I was very fast. I aimed the Shengxie Sword at Hu Jiuqing's heart. Just as the Shengxie Sword was about to pierce Hu Jiuqing's body, he suddenly grabbed the Shengxie Sword again and dodged slightly.
But at that moment, the Eastern Emperor Bell suddenly crashed into Hu Jiuqing from behind. The impact was brilliant; Hu Jiuqing, who was holding the Shengxie Sword, was struck by the Eastern Emperor Bell, and the sword pierced directly into his body, passing right through him.
The force of the impact from the Eastern Emperor Bell sent both Hu Jiuqing and me flying backward a distance.
At this moment, Hu Jiuqing was seriously injured and spat out a mouthful of golden blood, much of which landed on the Shengxie Sword. The Shengxie Sword's evil energy surged again, especially the Blood Refining Orb at its end, which began to glow brightly red and started to devour Hu Jiuqing's essence and cultivation.
Hu Jiuqing roared in fury, and immediately swung his sword toward my head.
I quickly released the Victory Sword and used the Divine Firmament Nine Miles technique to dodge a distance.
Hu Jiuqing staggered a couple of times, grabbed the Shengxie Sword, and looked extremely fierce.
The Shengxie Sword recognized its master, and after being caught by Hu Jiuqing, it emitted a buzzing sound, but he still managed to pull it out of his body and throw it far away.
"I will definitely kill you!" Hu Jiuqing's fierce eyes stared intently at me, sending chills down my spine.
At that moment, I glanced behind Hu Jiuqing and discovered that it was actually the slovenly Taoist priest who was activating the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Knowing he was no match for Hu Jiuqing in a direct confrontation, he hid to the side, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
It's highly likely that Kasang and the slovenly Taoist priest had planned this together, otherwise the slovenly Taoist priest wouldn't have acted so quickly.
I didn't injure Hu Jiuqing alone, but I did manage to stab the Shengxie Sword solidly into his body. It's just a pity that he subconsciously dodged just now, avoiding a vital spot, otherwise Hu Jiuqing would be dead by now.
Enraged, Hu Jiuqing once again charged at me with his magic sword.
It was too late for me to retrieve the Victorious Evil Sword, so I took out the Heavenly Swamp Spear from the Dragon-Tiger Mirror. I thought to myself that Hu Jiuqing had already been stabbed by me, so his strength should not be as formidable as before. However, my strength was constantly increasing, and with Sister Na's ghost energy support, I might be able to kill him.
Thinking this, I picked up the Heavenly Swamp Spear and charged towards Hu Jiuqing.
"Old Wu, hold on a little longer, I'll call upon the Ancestral Master!" The slovenly Taoist put away the Eastern Emperor Bell, shouted at me, and then flashed to a big tree, raised the lightning-struck wooden sword high, and launched into another epileptic seizure.
At that moment, I was thinking, "What was that bastard doing all this time? If he had asked the patriarch to possess us earlier, we wouldn't all have been beaten up like this."
However, upon closer reflection, even if the slovenly Taoist priest were to summon the patriarch, it probably wouldn't be very effective. Even if he managed to summon the patriarch's spirit, the slovenly Taoist priest could at best perform at the level of an Earth Immortal, and still wouldn't be a match for Hu Jiuqing.
Soon, I clashed with Hu Jiuqing again, and after that exchange, I realized I had overthought things.
I thought that Hu Jiuqing's strength would be greatly reduced after I pierced his body, but as the fight started, I felt that Hu Jiuqing seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
He seemed to be putting all his strength into killing me on the spot.
This power was explosive. Even though I was holding the Heavenly Swamp Spear and could withstand most of the power of his sword moves, I still felt somewhat unable to hold on.
After seven or eight moves, Hu Jiuqing suddenly unleashed a heavy sword strike that landed on the Tianzhao Spear. The impact sent me flying into the air, where I tumbled to the ground, and the Tianzhao Spear slipped from my grasp.
The next moment, Hu Jiu made a hand seal and suddenly shouted – Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Void!
After that outburst, I felt like the sky was about to fall.
The magic sword in his hand separated into countless sword energies, which soared into the air. Those sword energies quickly gathered together, forming a ball of white light. When the sword energies crashed towards me like a celestial river pouring down, I felt as if it were a black hole capable of swallowing everything.
A celestial being is indeed a celestial being. I feel that even my master would suffer a bit from that sword move, let alone me.
Faced with Hu Jiuqing's devastating attack, I felt like I was going to die.
However, I did not give up. With a quick reach, the Heavenly Swamp Spear fell into my hand once again.
Damn it, so be it if I die. Even if I get killed, I'll die a glorious death.
The Heavenly Spear in my hand emitted a burst of red light, and the green light emanating from the Eight-Foot Magatama above my head enveloped my entire body.
I knew I couldn't dodge this move, so I charged straight at his sword energy.
What makes a real man? Let me show you today.
I let out a roar and slashed down fiercely with the Heavenly Swamp Spear in my hand to meet Hu Jiuqing's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Void sword move.
In an instant, the world spun around, and the sun and moon lost their light.
The next moment, my body crashed heavily to the ground like a tattered sack, creating a deep crater in the ground.
My body felt numb and tingly, as if I had lost all sensation, and my consciousness was somewhat hazy.
I glanced at my body through the fog; it was riddled with holes, all from Hu Jiuqing's sword energy.
If it weren't for the Ama-no-Numa spear blocking most of the force, and the protection of the Yasakani no Magatama, I estimate I would already be nothing but bones by now...
