Chapter 2210: Slaying Qian Ta, Battling Lady Li

As soon as Qian Ta charged into the Thousand Prison Tower, he was sucked back by Yao Yulou. His entire body flew backward. It was only when he was barely close to Yao Yulou that Qian Ta frantically detonated his True Qi to break free from Yao Yulou’s terrifying suction.

But then... clang!

Yao Yulou drew his sword the moment he broke free, a blood-red sword light flashed out.

In an instant, a tragic scream echoed in the air; one of Qian Ta’s arms was severed by the blood-red sword light.

With a thud, the arm, along with fresh blood, slammed onto the ground.

This scene chilled the hearts of countless people from the Qianwang Holy Tower, but Qian Ta himself didn’t dare to look, let alone try to charge into the Thousand Prison Tower again. Instead, he turned around and sprinted in the direction of Pei Kuang.

He was afraid of dying; he was terrified of being decapitated by the murderous Yao Yulou.

Whoosh...

Unfortunately, before Qian Ta could even get close to Pei Kuang’s Soldier Killing Formation, he saw the blood-red silhouette forming right before his eyes. Without a second thought, he twisted his body and ran, changing direction towards Lady Li.

Now, only Lady Li could block Yao Yulou.

Qian Ta didn’t care if Lady Li was in the middle of reviving her son; he just rushed in that direction.

No matter what, Qianwang Saint Son mustn’t die, but Qian Ta couldn’t care less now.

But then... ah!

A streak of blood-red sword light flashed again, slicing off one of Qian Ta’s legs. His scream pierced the heavens as his whole body crashed to the ground, and then the blood-red figure appeared once more.

Yao Yulou suddenly said gently, "Wanyou, let’s finish off Qian Ta together."

At this moment, Jiang Wanyou’s body had long disappeared, seemingly merged into Yao Yulou’s body. Yao Yulou naturally assumed his wife was now living within him...

With those words, a murderous intent exploded!

He lunged at Qian Ta, one blood-red sword light after another continuously slicing Qian Ta’s body.

Aaaargh...

Qian Ta screamed incessantly, repeatedly yelling towards the distant Lady Li, "My lady, save me quickly, I don’t want to die!"

His frantic calls for help went unanswered by Lady Li.

Finally, Qian Ta’s voice grew weaker and weaker, until it was completely lifeless.

When Yao Yulou finally stopped his sword, Qian Ta had already turned into a pile of shattered bones and flesh, plunging the entire scene into an eerie silence.

Then came the furious shouts of Pei Kuang, along with the fear-filled cries of the Qianwang troops.

During this time, Yao Yulou’s face was expressionless, as if he had done something insignificant.

Once more, he pointed his sword at Lady Li and said, "Wanyou, let’s continue to slash through the Holy Martial Stage of Qianwang Holy Tower. Next is the third realm of the Holy Martial Stage. Let’s see if we can handle it."

As he spoke, Yao Yulou raised his sword, radiating explosive blood light.

At the same time, Lady Li finally opened her eyes.

She spoke softly: "My son, you’ve finally come back to life. That Little Demon Sikong is truly vile; he even implanted Beast Poison in you, almost causing us to be eternally separated by life and death."

Indeed, Sikong Jing had previously implanted Beast Poison when he twisted Pei Yusheng’s neck.

However, it wasn’t a lethal Beast Poison. There was no point in killing Sage Pei Kuang at that time; what Sikong Jing wanted was to stall Lady Li, preventing her from taking action for a while.

If Lady Li hadn’t been rescuing Pei Yusheng, the recent battle would have been utterly different.

With Lady Li’s words, Pei Yusheng also opened his eyes and hoarsely replied, "Mother, capture Little Demon Sikong alive."

Just as Pei Yusheng finished speaking... buzz!

The blood-colored sword light from Yao Yulou also happened to flash by.

At this, Lady Li swiftly swung her hand to grasp the blood-colored sword light, then turned to face Yao Yulou and said, "What an Evil Charm Holy Body. I wonder if after slaying you, I’ll be able to absorb some of the Evil Charm."

Although she had just been reviving Pei Yusheng, she was well aware of the surrounding events.

As Lady Li spoke, she then launched a thunderous attack.

Simultaneously, she tossed out a Holy Artifact, securely protecting Pei Yusheng within it.

The battle of the third realm of the Holy Martial Stage officially commenced, with Yao Yulou facing off against Lady Li!

On the other side, at the entrance of the Thousand Prison Tower, the beast-shaped spirit shadow of Sikong Jing growled lowly, "Stay by my side, guard the Thousand Prison Tower."

Of course, his words were directed at the few car-pulling demon beasts still alive...

Roars echoed, and a few half-demonized car-pulling demon beasts immediately surrounded Sikong Jing and the Thousand Prison Tower. Now, countless Divine Shuttle Ships had descended, and the Thousand King Soldiers were attacking from all sides.

Although the individual power of these Thousand King Soldiers was weak, they had the advantage in numbers.

Moreover, among them were some low-grade Soldier Formation Masters. They formed one hundred-man Soldier Killing Formations and charged forward, so Sikong Jing had to rely on the power of these car-pulling demon beasts to protect himself and the Thousand Prison Tower.

No one could be allowed to enter the Thousand Prison Tower to support the guards inside, while Sikong Jing himself had to...

Rescue Jiang Wanyou’s last shred of vitality.

Currently, he was just a beast-shaped spirit shadow, and without the aid of controlling demon beasts, charging into the Thousand Prison Tower wouldn’t help much.

Thus, Sikong Jing’s beast-shaped spirit shadow remained inside the body of a dead car-pulling demon beast.

He observed the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl that had been tossed on the ground earlier, and threatened lowly, "Qian Wumie, if Aunt Jiang has no vitality left, I’ll let the Blood Devouring Demon Beast devour you alive."

Inside the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl, Qian Wumie naturally didn’t know that Sikong Jing was currently just a beast-shaped spirit shadow.

Upon hearing this, he shouted irritably, "Bastard, I can only do my best."

As he spoke, the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl emitted a faint light beneath the corpse of a dead car-pulling demon beast, and at this moment, Sikong Jing was undeniably tense to the extreme. He knew Qian Wumie wasn’t entirely confident either.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Suddenly... whoosh!

The previously empty air began to display faint, seven-colored starlight around the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl.

This scene nearly caused Sikong Jing’s beast-shaped spirit shadow to freeze entirely; he was growing increasingly tense.

Just a moment ago Jiang Auntie had vanished into this seven-colored starlight, and now its reappearance proved that what Qian Wumie said was true: the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl really could gather a person who had been obliterated in body and spirit.

There was truly hope, but the seven-colored starlight was still very, very faint.

Sikong Jing didn’t know how much energy Jiang Wanyou left lingering around, whether there was still a glimmer of hope.

As time went by, more and more seven-colored starlight gathered.

The starlight gradually attached itself to the dim light of the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl. Hidden beneath the corpse of the dead car-pulling demon beast, no one but Sikong Jing could see this miraculous scene, but now wasn’t the time for celebrating.

Until... an even more miraculous scene appeared.

The seven-colored starlight suddenly dispersed from the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl’s dim light, and then a faint, illusory figure appeared around the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl; it was unmistakably Jiang Wanyou’s silhouette.

This made Sikong Jing’s eyes widen in astonishment, and he muttered under his breath, "Is it a Spiritual Shadow?"

In the next moment, Sikong Jing shook his head forcefully and said, "No, it’s more than just a Spiritual Shadow; it seems to be a physical body as well."

The body that Jiang Auntie had just dispersed was being restored. It was too eerie, too mysterious, but Sikong Jing quickly added, "No, it’s not entirely physical either; it’s a mix of Spiritual Shadow and physical body. What kind of state is this?"

Just as he finished speaking, the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl suddenly halted...

Qian Wumie’s voice also rang out from within the Pearl, "I can only gather this much; the rest has dissipated."
