Chapter 425: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_2
Upon witnessing this spectacle, Gong Wanshan and the other four exchanged glances, instantly feeling a headache brewing.
If the Divine Wood Sect’s cultivators began to deploy this formation, even if the five of them collaborated, they might not be able to break through this realm.
However, they had no room to retreat on the battlefield. If they didn’t stop Fu Huakun here, the latter could easily act. Whether it was dealing with Mu Hanxiong or attacking the Qi Practitioners from Rock Country, it would be a significant issue.
If Mu Hanxiong were held back, then the Divine Wood Sect’s young man, who had perfected the Sword Rainbow Fission technique, could challenge any of them individually and ensure a fatal outcome.
On the other hand, if they avoided Fu Huakun’s strongest attack now, then the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation would show the Qi Practitioners of the Rock Country what it means to mow the grass.
The harm caused by the Immortality Skill was average, relevant only to cultivators of the same realm.
If a Qi Practitioner was up against this skill, even ordinary wooden arrows, which were unblockable Rank-2 spells, would pose a problem.
Rock Country attacked Rolling Thunder Mountain with a force of twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators and twelve hundred Qi Practitioners.
The strongest among them, Ji Dingjin and Chu Zuoshu, battled fiercely in the air above the mountain peak, but everyone knew that Ji Dingjin holding on was their biggest victory.
Fu Huakun, the second most potent cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect after Chu Zuoshu, didn’t show himself earlier due to his preparation of the Earth Gold Knife Array. Nevertheless, Mu Hanxiong had been vigilantly anticipating his arrival.
However, growing impatient during the wait, Mu Hanxiong plunged into the battle array of Qi practitioners from Lei Nation.
Lian Chenghai and the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Lei Nation, who were initially idle, had to join forces to pull Mu Hanxiong out of the Qi Practitioner battlefield, to save their kinsmen from more casualties.
It was during this time that Ji Dao Yuan sought Chen Mobai and was confidently beaten by a single strike.
“Today, even an Immortal from the Upper Realm couldn’t save you!”
Mu Hanxiong flew to Chen Mobai’s face, glanced at Fu Huakun, who was fighting against five others, and spoke coldly.
In response to him, a splendid Purple Fire Sword Light flared.
Chen Mobai didn’t bother to waste words with him.
The abundant combat experience in Little Red Sky made him acutely aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
Although his spiritual power was comparable to that of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator due to the practice of Two Phases Technique, he knew he could not compete with the late-stage cultivators. Hence, a quick battle resolution was imperative.
Of course, Mu Hanxiong understood the formidable power of the Sword Light.
The Body Cultivators of the Shake Mountain, fear such top-ranked Sword Cultivators who have mastered the Sword Light.
In fact, during the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages, the Body Cultivators could claim to be the strongest among their peers.
Aside from a few cultivators who had practiced unique Cultivation Techniques, even Sword Cultivators found it impossible to breach their defenses.
However, a Sword Cultivator who had mastered Sword Rainbow Fission was another story.
The extremely refined Sword Qi could cut through even pure iron, let alone the body of a Body Cultivator.
Nonetheless, having completed Foundation Establishment over a hundred years ago and having battled with Golden Cliff Elders who have cultivated Sword Light, Mu Hanxiong had his unique experiences and techniques for battling top-ranked Sword Cultivators.
“Iron Armor Cultivation!”
With a fierce shout, the swirling black-red energy streams around him merged with his armor instantaneously, further fortifying the Rank-2 Magic Artifact with another layer of energy shield.
Add to that his robust physical body.
With three layers of defenses, he was able to grasp Chen Mobai’s Purple Fire Sword Light, despite his palm being ripped open and smoke rising from it. He could undoubtedly endure the Sword Light.
Amid a roaring sound.
Mu Hanxiong swiftly moved in mid-air, lunged at Chen Mobai, and launched a powerful palm strike.
Sword Cultivators were generally offensively strong but defense-wise weak—the polar opposite of Body Cultivators.
As long as they landed one close-range attack, they could crush their foes’ fragile bodies.
However, Chen Mobai, who had experienced countless battles in Little Red Sky, was quite familiar with this tactic due his peers in the four major Daoist Academies and the top ten universities coming up with various strategies against it.
With the rapid operation of his Divine Sense, the “Red Misty Cloud Silk” around him condensed into a dark-red fire gas—like an incredibly soft cotton cloth, dissolving most of the powerful force in Mu Hanxiong’s palm.
Then, spots of green light flew out as the full power of the Green Scale Arm Guard was unleashed, transforming into a six-fold scale shield.
Mu Hanxiong’s left palm fell, dispersing the misty cloud gas and breaking three shields. Although his palm lost its force, his right hand was already swinging down.
Even more terrifying, his powerful right palm cleared all the clouds and mist around Chen Mobai, and the remaining three scale shields scattered into hundreds of pieces that filled the air.
Yet, what met Mu Hanxiong’s strike was a golden jade axe.
This top-ranked Rank-2 Magic Artifact, after being instilled with five drops of liquid spiritual power by Chen Mobai, exploded with an unprecedented jade-like glow. It exhibited its sharpness to the fullest, not only breaking Mu Hanxiong’s robust palm force but also shattering his energy shield, armor, and three-layer defense.
Amid the sudden burst of bloody light, almost half of his palm was sliced off. However, Mu Hanxiong’s expression remained unchanged.
After trapping the golden jade axe with the bones of his right hand, the fully recharged left palm was violently slammed down on Chen Mobai, who was fully devoid of any protective energy.
But at that moment, Mu Hanxiong saw Chen Mobai’s eyes flash a clear lustrous gloss.
