Chapter 565 - 327: Slaying the Three National Guardian Realm Experts (Happy New Year) (Part 2)

You Wudang couldn’t react in time, and You Wuba felt an icy chill down his back, as if the entire space he was in had been locked.

He wanted to escape, but ultimately he couldn’t.

Swish!

Golden light slashed down.

With a tremendous roar, the seal was lifted, and everything could move again.

The rapid descent of You Wuba’s two halves was the best proof.

"Brother Rong!"

You Wudang’s eyes widened in fury.

"Die for me!"

The Black Banner surged more violently in an instant, with primordial techniques being hurled out freely, as if the primordial artifacts flashing with black light sensed the fall of their companions and raged.

But he couldn’t even determine the location of the one who unleashed the golden light, blindly unleashing all means, which not only proved useless but also put himself in danger.

Chu Ming had used his True Intent to slay You Wuba with a single strike and naturally wouldn’t stay in the same place.

Leveraging the powerful abilities of the Book and Painting Realm, he dodged a hundred meters away, suspended in the air, calmly watching the rampaging You Wudang.

After the opponent vented with a near-apocalyptic onslaught, Chu Ming made his move again.

True Intent infused into the Golden Light Dragon Slayer Saber.

A familiar scene occurred once more, but with a different target.

A golden light appeared behind You Wudang, seemingly tearing through space.

Roar!

You Wudang seemed prepared, summoning the Nether Witch Banner a moment before the cold flash hit, with endless black fog engulfing the golden light with a roar.

This move was effective; the golden light couldn’t slash through, only cutting seven or eight-tenths deep into the black fog before dissipating.

Atop the clouds, Chu Ming’s face was somewhat pale.

He hadn’t expected that the Black Banner could not only devour primordial techniques but also withstand the True Intent Blade.

Perhaps it was the insufficient understanding of True Intent, or maybe the Golden Light Dragon Slayer Saber’s grade was inadequate; after pondering for a moment, Chu Ming put it away.

After two exchanges, he confirmed that relying solely on his martial arts prowess at the Fifth Realm, it was unlikely he could slay the wielder of the Black Banner.

"Then I can only outlast them."

The Sword Gourd Spirit detected that the Black Banner, although powerful, showed the fatigue of its controller as he continuously attacked with primordial techniques.

It was clear the opponent couldn’t control the Black Banner for too long.

His advantage lay in the mutated Sixth Realm, the tree of Primordial Qi Seed like a red sun, and the continuous supply of pure primordial qi from the Sea of Consciousness.

With such a display of elemental technique Star Rings, he could fight for a day.

With this thought in mind, Chu Ming deliberately revealed his form, charged toward the ground, captured the body of the slain You Wuba, and then fled towards the outskirts of the city.

Though he could afford to wear them out, he didn’t want to cause unnecessary casualties above County City, especially with Little Shan and others still in the city.

"Where are you going? Leave your life here!"

You Wudang, blinded by hatred, focused solely on avenging his brother Rong by killing the one in the black robe, not paying attention to the Nether Witch Banner absorbing大量元炁.

One ahead, one behind, they soon fled dozens of miles outside the city.

"This should be enough."

Chu Ming stopped atop a mountain peak, waiting for You Wudang to catch up.

In less than two breaths.

Buzz!

Black fog squeezed in from all directions, a terrifying evil ghost opened its giant mouth, and in the blink of an eye, swallowed the entire peak.

Immediately afterward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dozens of Star Rings exploded across the peak, causing the black fog to churn, nearly collapsing and dispersing.

In this exchange, You Wudang’s primordial qi was instantly drained by the Nether Witch Banner from his Primordial Qi Mansion.

The depleted Primordial Qi Mansion weakened his Primordial Consciousness, jolting him into sudden awareness of something.

"What kind of primordial technique is like those Star Rings?"

"Why does this person show no signs of fatigue after casting so many primordial techniques?!"

He hastily took out an elixir and swallowed it, once again controlling the Nether Witch Banner to fend off attacks.

However, while primordial qi can be restored with elixirs, the Primordial Consciousness cannot.

Repeatedly overloading the control of the Nether Witch Banner to fend off attacks amplified his sense of powerlessness and weakness.

If it continued, avenging his brother Rong was out of the question; he feared he too would perish here.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying explosions erupted from the evil ghost’s giant mouth formed by black fog. Although the Nether Witch Banner mitigated its power, every blast seemed alarmingly close to him.

After swallowing two more elixirs to restore his primordial qi, You Wudang’s rationality finally overcame his hatred.

He was scared.

The black fog created by the Nether Witch Banner rapidly retracted, the evil ghost roared and howled, but the oppression from before was gone.

"Escape?"

Chu Ming smiled lightly.

After wearing them down this long, he wouldn’t let his prey escape.

The elemental technique Star Rings continued their bombardment, two Tier Six primordial artifacts attacking from above and below.

You Wudang was no longer just scared but terrified.

His Primordial Qi Mansion no longer focused on controlling the Nether Witch Banner; all of it was used for escape.

But some lessons come at a price when learned too late.

Now that he wanted to flee, it was still too late.

The outcome was swift.

You Wudang, fully committed to escaping, could no longer control the Nether Witch Banner. Without the defense of this formidable Garrison Treasure, and in his weakened Primordial Consciousness state, he was blocked by the black-robed youth before he could escape far.

Next, a dozen Star Rings shimmering with moonlight formed around him.

You Wudang’s eyes were both crazed and desperate.

"You’ve forced me!"

The Black Light Primordial Artifact and Nether Witch Banner shot out simultaneously and collided in an instant.

"You’re not leaving alive either!"

You Wudang intended to detonate both primordial artifacts, perishing together with the black-robed youth.

Boom!

But before he could act, the surrounding Star Rings closed in at high speed.

You Wudang hesitated not for a second; his eyes filled with ferocity, and the Black Light Primordial Artifact detonated first.

Boom! Boom!

Instantly, the ground shook.

Following this, the Nether Witch Banner swelled to its limit, seemingly on the brink of explosion.
