Chapter 66: Life-and-Death Struggle
The thunderous roar reverberated as Jin Buduan activated many life-saving artifacts on his body. Normally, they remained concealed, but upon encountering danger, they sprang into action, creating an invisible barrier that blocked harm.
Of course, this was connected to the King of the White Sea’s skilled control. The same artifact could achieve different levels of effect in different hands. Not to mention those treasures with hidden restrictions; if one’s cultivation rank was insufficient, one would lack the power to wield them. Thus, spirit talismans that demanded less from the user had a considerable market.
However, once the talismans were used up, without artifacts available, one would be like Li Hui now—helplessly staring, unable to do anything but watch the King of the White Sea return to normal and strike with an empty palm.
“Smack!” This palm carried an overwhelming momentum, causing Jin Mingyang to spit blood and fly backward, instantly knocked unconscious.
Beyond his cultivation method, there were secret techniques, such as the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique. These techniques could attack, defend, or assist and often had unexpected results. Unlike cultivation methods, secret techniques might involve only a single move and required a practitioner with special spirit markings; however, once learned, their utility was limitless.
The palm strike delivered by the King of the White Sea to Jin Mingyang was a secret technique he had mastered years ago while advancing to the Bosa realm, and even after possession, he could still use it.
“Kid, it’s just you and me now. Tell me, where is the Dragon Energy in the dragon vein? And the Canghuang Dominating Blood Dragon Robe? That treasure belonged to the former emperor and is considered inauspicious for ordinary cultivators to touch.”
Where could Li Hui find the Dragon Energy and the dragon robe? The silver snake bracelet had devoured them long ago, and it only devoured without excretion!
Given the current situation, even if he begged for mercy, he couldn’t extinguish the King of the White Sea’s killing intent. If he weren’t so desperate to uncover the Dragon Energy and the dragon robe’s whereabouts, he believed the King would have already attacked.
“I’m all in! After eighteen years, I’ll be a real man again.” Li Hui resolved to fight to the death; faced with such a formidable enemy, he saw no way out.
Since he was going all out, he unleashed everything. The nine heads let out eerie cries and charged at the King of the White Sea. Lieutenant Liu and the ghost soldiers knew that it was a life-and-death moment and lunged forward, clawing and biting.
Li Hui raised his hand and affixed a Nine Patterns Blood Ignition Talisman to his chest. His eyes turned bright red, and he bellowed, releasing twin jets of heat through his nostrils.
“Kill! Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique!”
With a loud shout, countless golden light patterns burst forth, instantly weaving together into a misty dragon claw, one claw fiercely grasping a golden pearl, smashing forward like a pestle.
“What is this?” The King of the White Sea was taken aback, surprised that this kid possessed something he couldn’t comprehend. Additionally, the dense golden spirit patterns seemed to suppress his royal aura, which was nothing short of incredible.
“Boom…” The Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique tore through the air, sparkling with light, but regrettably, the golden pearl showed no miraculous effects, adding only a bit more force.
“Boom…”
“Boom…”
Two of the nine heads were nearly smashed. Black smoke billowed from them, lit by glimmers of gold. They inhaled deeply, drawing in the golden light, illuminating their interiors like countless masks.
In just a few moments, the heads astonishingly recovered speedily and lunged again at the King of the White Sea, their mouths agape and ready to bite.
“How could these golden lights… the Dragon Energy refined over many years in the Yin Corpse Ten Thousand Souls Array possibly come from these heads? Could these inferior Yin-Yang heads actually consume and digest it? Absolutely impossible.”
The King of the White Sea found this utterly absurd. He continuously struck at the heads; however, they were incredibly resilient. Each time they suffered damage, they would rapidly absorb golden light to restore themselves. Even if they couldn’t defeat him, they were proving to be a nuisance.
Thirty ghost soldiers surged forward, led by Lieutenant Liu holding the black flag. This flag was not an artifact but a military standard soaked in their soldiers’ blood during their lifetimes. With every wave, it exuded a mysterious aura that wrapped around the newly possessed King of the White Sea, causing him great annoyance.
“Hmph, a dying struggle.” The King of the White Sea flicked his hand, summoning a golden sword, which emitted a resounding wave of sword energy.
The thirty ghost soldiers couldn’t withstand it, their forms dissipating, and even Lieutenant Liu’s black flag twisted and fell to the ground.
The nine heads fared no better. Though they desperately tried to reverse the Yin and Yang and counterattack using formations, they fell one by one, rolling about helplessly. No matter how much golden light they absorbed, they couldn’t keep pace with the sword aura’s destructive power.
The hindrance was now cleared. The King of the White Sea’s complexion paled. This golden sword was a treasure, and he could only muster one-tenth of its power now, an immense drain on his energy.
“Clang…” Li Hui continued to execute the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique, managing to snag a few specks of scattered light from the King of the White Sea, as if the silver snake bracelet’s absorption abilities were in some way resonating with the dragon claw technique.
“Is this the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique? Only a cultivator with claw-like spirit markings has the chance to learn it, especially one with a Dragon Claw pattern. I can’t believe the Jade Symbol Sect released a disciple like you. Were they preparing for the future? Leaving a spark for the sect? Hahaha, the Jade Symbol Sect thinks they can play their cards right; the more they try to preserve this, the more enjoyable it will be to destroy!” The King of the White Sea advanced majestically, exuding a powerful aura, rendering Li Hui’s efforts futile.
“Damn you! Even if I die, I’ll take you down with me!” Li Hui’s blood surged; the Nine Patterns Blood Ignition Talisman’s effect kept escalating.
The King of the White Sea’s gaze turned cold as he lifted the golden sword and thrust it violently. “Pfft!” It pierced through him. Li Hui cried out in pain, gripping the sword that had penetrated his shoulder with his left hand while his right arm lunged towards the King of the White Sea.
In that moment, blood boiled, vision turned red; Li Hui had cast aside life and death, driven solely by the thought of mutual destruction…
“What?” The King of the White Sea was horrified beyond belief, his golden sword bursting with thousands of radiant sparks as the blade neared collapse, and all his defensive artifacts, including a defensive treasure, transformed into light and flowed towards Li Hui like rivers.
“What’s happening?” Before the King of the White Sea could react, the silver snake coiled around Li Hui’s wrist began to slowly raise its head to amplify the talismans.
Thirty-six major acupoints on Li Hui’s body emitted golden beams of light; nine of the main acupoints flowed with purple light, where fish-like talismans swam around.
“Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols piercing the acupoints?”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The purple light struck the King of the White Sea. He screamed in terror, “Bastard, the Purple Absolute Divine Symbol inscribed by a Master from the All-Manifestation Realm.”
The attacks intensified, and Li Hui couldn’t remember when he had stepped back.
He thought he was dead, but the thirty-six acupoints continuously ignited life energy, allowing him to survive. Ultimately, the King of the White Sea perished, his newly possessed body evaporating in the purple light.
Li Hui could only collect four items, picking up Lieutenant Liu’s black flag as well, recalling the nine heads and casting a glance at Jin Mingyang as he staggered away from the scene.
Jin Mingyang was protected by toxins, and approaching recklessly would only lead to unexpected difficulties.
The commotion in Fusu City was so intense that the Jade Symbol Sect and Hidden Sky Sect would arrive at any moment, and the names of the Purple Absolute Divine Symbol and Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols were firmly engraved in his mind…
