Chapter 544: Battle in the Yellow Sand
Beneath the vast desert sands.
The figure of the black-clad Amon stood in the shadows of the suspended desert, stepping forward to the top of a crumbling city, his black staff resting upon the laws of Fengdu.
Eerie black light pierced through the dim glow, reaching toward the primal mountains at the edge of this fragment of a city.
The curse began to seep in.
……
On the other side.
The Wind God Xiu stood at the edge of the desert, watching the black-clad figure darting about, showing no intention of intervening.
He had lost to Zhou Ping, drawing the ridicule of the other nine pillar gods. Since that was the case, he decided not to act, letting Saiter, this overconfident fellow, face this human and realize that his loss was not due to his own weakness…
But because this human was too strong.
He even hoped Zhou Ping would push a little harder, so Saiter could suffer a bit, allowing his own humiliation to be completely washed away, and he could turn around and mock the other party.
As long as he waited until Saiter could no longer hold on, he would step in and join forces to suppress this human, easily claiming the fragment of the city.
This time, these humans would have no chance of turning the tide.
Bang bang bang—!!
Dozens of yellow sand hands reached out from the sky and the earth, trying to grasp Zhou Ping’s figure, but he moved through them like a fish, his clothes untouched by a speck of sand.
He leaped into the air, flying between the fingers of three yellow sand hands, then with a flick of his right hand, he lightly slashed around him!
Ding—!
The crisp sound of the sword echoed again, as all the yellow sand hands within a five-hundred-meter radius were sliced apart, the cuts neat and smooth, as if an invisible sword had passed through.
Sword energy swept through, and those hands exploded into pieces, transforming back into a sandstorm that engulfed the heavens and the earth.
Zhou Ping landed lightly on the sandy ground, his toes barely touching, and he shot through the sandstorm like an arrow, heading straight for the towering giant tower at the center of the desert.
Saiter’s brow furrowed, his fingertips curling beneath his cloak.
Immediately, the sand beneath Zhou Ping’s feet began to tremble violently, each grain vibrating at an alarming frequency, emanating terrifying energy!
Zhou Ping sensed the danger keenly, slashing his sword to open a corner of space, his figure flickering and disappearing from the spot.
In the next moment, the vast sandy ground where he had just stood erupted with a blinding white light!
The energy-laden sand began to self-annihilate, taking everything around it—light and air—into instant destruction, vanishing into thin air.
When the white light faded, the original patch of sand had transformed into an empty void.
This was an absolute erasure of the material plane, mediated by yellow sand!
Zhou Ping stepped out from another space, glancing at the annihilated sandy ground, a grave expression appearing in his eyes.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he slashed open space again, flashing forward several hundred meters.
A flash of white light erupted, and the sand where he had just stood was annihilated once more.
Zhou Ping continuously sliced through space, avoiding all the annihilated sandy areas, moving toward the sand tower at an astonishing speed, soon arriving beneath it.
Saiter’s expression darkened.
He never expected that this human could move freely within his vast desert realm, even killing his way to right beneath him.
Humans were not supposed to be weak and humble creatures?
“That’s enough,” Saiter shook his head, casting aside those distracting thoughts, and spoke slowly.
A stronger ant is still just an ant; as long as he took it seriously, he could easily erase it!
Rumbling…
Just as Zhou Ping reached the foot of the sand tower, the entire tower began to shake.
All the yellow sand that formed the tower scattered, and in the blink of an eye, the tower vanished without a trace, the suspended grains of sand reassembling, beginning to construct something…
In the blink of an eye, a massive dark yellow monster loomed over Zhou Ping’s head.
It was a sphinx-like yellow sand giant, its paws alone the size of a football field, with part of its body obscured by clouds, its full form hidden, but roughly estimated, its entire body was about the same size as the shattered city beneath everyone’s feet.
The sphinx opened its mouth, roaring silently, its right foot slowly lifting, heavily stomping down toward Zhou Ping!
The enormous paw compressed the air rapidly, a fierce wind raging beneath it, blowing Zhou Ping’s clothes wildly.
Zhou Ping looked up at the colossal creature and slowly closed his eyes.
With each breath, the surface of his chest glowed brighter with a glass-like radiance!
The giant’s paw slammed down on the desert, forcefully creating a pit in the sand, a torrent of yellow sand flying up like a waterfall, engulfing the entire desert realm.
At that moment, the giant’s paw shattered inch by inch!
Thousands of sharp and fierce sword lights tore through the yellow sand, carrying that black-clad figure soaring into the sky!
Wherever he passed, the body of the yellow sand giant was shredded by the sword energy, disintegrating at an astonishing speed. By the time he completely pierced through the massive yellow sand sphinx, a light sound was heard, and the entire creature exploded!
A cascade of yellow sand fell from the sky, and Zhou Ping stood in the void, his face slightly pale.
“Cough cough cough…”
He covered his mouth with his hand, looking down to cough a couple of times, a hint of crimson appearing in his palm…
Even though he had made a breakthrough in sword intent, given his current physical state, this strike still burdened him significantly.
His figure only paused in the air for a moment before piercing through space, charging straight toward the cloaked Sand God Saiter!
Sword energy surged into the sky!
“Hmm?”
Xiu watched Zhou Ping’s figure, his brow slightly raised, a look of surprise in his eyes.
He had thought the other party was unarmed, which would greatly diminish his strength, but unexpectedly, the opponent, empty-handed, could still exchange blows with Saiter.
Could it be that he hadn’t been injured at all during his battle with himself?
Impossible; his wind had clearly struck him several times, and those violent divine powers should have been unbearable for him…
Could it be that in such a short time, he had made another breakthrough?
Xiu considered this possibility, his heart jolting slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
No matter how much he broke through, he was still a human; the limits of humanity were there. Even if he could suppress Saiter, it was impossible for him to kill the other.
“Xiu, what are you waiting for!!”
Seeing Zhou Ping charging toward him with terrifying sword energy, Saiter felt a bit uncertain and immediately turned to shout at Xiu, who was watching from the sidelines.
Xiu sneered.
So what?
Now you understand how I lost back then, right?
You go ahead; aren’t you still being pressed by that human?
Will you still dare to look down on me in the future?
Xiu deliberately paused for a moment before swirling with the fierce wind, charging toward Zhou Ping.
After all, this was still a mission; if this human really defeated both of them, their faces would be completely lost.
