Chapter 184 Spreading Wings into the Blue Abyss, Etching My Name in the Immortal Realm Part 2
The last bit of strength from the Pharmacist Lapis Light Bodhisattva helped Xie Xianyu reduce the impact. Thanks to the robust physique of the Heavenly Deceit Martial Artist, Xie Xianyu was still alive, though in terrible condition.
Possibly countless bones in her body had been broken, and her limbs were twisted into grotesque forms. One of her eyeballs had burst under the rapidly increasing intracranial pressure, with her crimson tongue lolling out of her mouth, saliva mixed with blood cascading down onto her chest like a waterfall.
Even though she couldn't speak, Xie Xianyu still desperately chanted scriptures, hoping to gain more strength from the hands of the Pharmacist Lapis Light Bodhisattva.
However, what drove her to despair was that the usually responsive Lapis Light Bodhisattva now seemed as absent as a stone sunk in the deep sea. There was not the slightest response, and even her own transformed soul was rapidly weakening.
"It's over," a cold, brutal voice said.
Immediately afterward, a large hand spread open, grabbing Xie Xianyu's entire upper body like a toy, "Those Buddhas won't make a losing deal by giving you more power when they know you are doomed to die. Do you have any last words?"
As if she hadn't heard, Xie Xianyu continued to chant scriptures unceasingly.
"Disgusting," Su Heng frowned, feeling a sense of annoyance and immediately lost his patience.
He tightened his five fingers and squeezed fiercely—
"Pfft!"
A muffled sound followed, and Xie Xianyu's body exploded like rotten fruit.
First, her head flew into the air and rolled on the ground. Then various organs, bones, and fluids of fat and blood burst from her severed neck, staining a large swath of the ground a dark red. No matter the peerless beauty or demoness from the evil sects, after death, they were nothing but piles of rotting flesh.
Su Heng looked down at Xie Xianyu's dreadfully discolored face on the ground.
He lifted his leg and stomped down.
The skull shattered, and brain matter burst forth. With a gust of Yin Wind, the last trace of Xie Xianyu in this world completely vanished.
Su Heng slowly turned around, his attention returned to Dahei Miking and Xu Hanlin after dispensing with someone who had repeatedly thwarted his plans.
...
Xie Xianyu, Dahei Miking, and Xu Hanlin were strangers to one another.
But under the immense pressure Su Heng applied, their cooperation was surprisingly in sync. After all, reaching this level of cultivation meant each of them had gone through numerous trials and had rich combat experience, knowing what choices to make under such circumstances would be most effective.
When Su Heng made a move on Xie Xianyu,
Dahei Miking and Xu Hanlin wanted to intervene and rescue her.
Unfortunately, Su Heng's speed was simply too fast and ferocious.
Even though they intended to react, they couldn't manage any in time. By the time they regained their senses, Xie Xianyu had already become a pile of dry bones under Su Heng's foot. With one down and two left, the remaining pair felt a profound threat.
He was struggling violently, howling skywards.
But it was utterly futile.
Like sublimation, masses of black mist evaporated off the Martial Artist, the flesh being destroyed and cracked by the extreme heat. In the bright white light, the shadow of the Martial Artist grew smaller and smaller — skin, muscle, organs...
All of it was stripped away, until only a robust skeleton could be seen.
Eventually, even the skeleton cracked and scattered, turning to dust.
The Martial Artist completely vanished from the battlefield.
With one strike.
A giant, intensely hot sphere of light remained on the battlefield, hundreds of meters in diameter, resembling countless streams of liquid fire flowing upwards. The terrifying shockwave from the explosion surged towards the sky, tearing open the clouds, leaving a void in the overcast heavens.
The air heated up, expanded, forming a gust that swept up dust and pebbles, further transforming into a black dust storm whirling in all directions.
In the midst of the black storm, Su Heng's towering form remained steadfast.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
His eagle-like, blood-colored gaze searched the surroundings for any trace of Xu Hanlin. After receiving power from the Demon Country's Ruler and sprouting wings, Xu Hanlin's speed was extraordinarily fast. If he intended to flee amidst the chaos, it could indeed be somewhat troublesome.
If Su Heng were to pursue, he would likely catch up.
But doing so would waste a lot of time, and there were aspects of the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm that Su Heng had yet to fully understand. After all, the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm only opened once every thirty years, and it was too precious an opportunity for Su Heng to miss.
Just as Su Heng was silently pondering his next move—
Boom!
A blood-colored thunderlight exploded.
In the dazzling thunderlight, a blood-colored arc blade sliced through the air, sweeping towards Su Heng's back of the head in an instant.
He didn't even dodge, letting the sharp strike land on his shoulder. He turned around and looked up, a hint of surprise crossing his face. In the turbulent skies above, Xu Hanlin had not chosen to escape, but to stay and fight.
"Foolish decision," Su Heng sneered, "but it does save me time."
He lifted his head, a massive amount of force being mobilized. His left index finger lit up, dark red light gathering, followed by another blinding golden light beam that streaked across the sky, striking Xu Hanlin heavily. A sun-like, gigantic, bright fireball appeared in the sky, releasing light and heat, causing the surrounding air to heat and twist, and the clouds to evaporate into a massive cavity.
Su Heng yawned, turning to leave.
But he took a step forward and suddenly stopped, his pupils quivering slightly, his mouth agape, his face showing an intrigued expression.
