Chapter 705: Chapter 625: Into the Trap, a Carefully Planned All-Out Strike (Combined Chapter)
’Boom!’
In Zhou Nan’s perception, it was as if the four directions of heaven and earth were simultaneously pressing down on him.
The surrounding gases turned into a visible gray liquid state, the space in his field of vision seemed divided into many discontinuous layers, eerie like a mirage.
The immense pressure and force made it difficult for him to breathe, all the bones in his body were creaking, and a large number of tiny blood droplets were oozing from the surface of his body.
If he hadn’t promptly summoned his Protective Spirit Essence and called a piece of top-grade Spiritual Artifact armor from within, he suspected he might have been crushed on the spot.
However, even though he avoided the fate of being crushed.
He could still feel the endless pressure from all around, making it difficult for him to take even a step.
“Manipulating the heavens and earth, isn’t this a technique only Golden Core cultivators have?” Caught in a surprise attack, Zhou Nan was both shocked, angry, and afraid.
The next moment.
Before him, Cui Rong suddenly emitted a dazzling and translucent red light.
His hands raised high, his entire person seemed to transform into a sword, exuding an incredibly sharp and fierce aura.
At the same time, a pair of delicate, red wings, thin as cicada’s wings, sprouted from either side of his back.
“Body Transformation.”
Cui Rong turned into a human-shaped sword, vibrating rapidly on the spot with a ’buzz buzz buzz.’
Suddenly, he shot towards Zhou Nan, as if releasing all his potential energy in an instant.
His speed was too fast, like red lightning, almost impossible for Zhou Nan, with his Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform’s eyesight, to see clearly.
He had no choice but to summon his Spirit Platform, a four-story ancient pavilion with eaves, entirely blue-black, rising above his head.
The ancient pavilion seemed to hover between reality and illusion, with a bronze ancient lamp burning at the edge of each floor.
The lamplights connected into a line and expanded into a surface, forming a flowing, semi-transparent blue barrier when the light fell, holding him securely at the center.
’Bang!’
The human-shaped sword struck Zhou Nan fiercely, causing intense vibrations in the blue barrier, breaking it open, and continued to push forward without pause.
Then, it shattered Zhou Nan’s top-grade Spiritual Artifact armor, piercing through his Protective Spirit Essence…
“Ah!!!”
Blood sprayed through the sky.
Zhou Nan let out a sharp scream, barely escaping to an area several hundred feet away from just now.
Half of his body had been shattered, even revealing the beating internal organs and bloody bones, white connective tissues inside—an unspeakable sight.
For a mere human, they would have died on the spot.
However, with a Golden Core seed’s Fourth Layer Spirit Platform cultivation, he wasn’t so easily killed, barely wrapping his body in Spirit Essence, though half his life was lost.
Zhou Nan looked at Lou Yi with an extremely venomous gaze, “You’re not Cui Rong, who exactly are you?”
“Dead men have no right to know.” Lou Yi shook his head.
“I’ll fight you to the end!” Zhou Nan roared, a sharp red light flying out from his body, racing towards Lou Yi.
But under his feet, a pink handkerchief suddenly appeared, swiftly carrying him away to the distance.
The saying goes, as long as the green hills last, there’s no fear of running out of firewood.
In his current terrible state, Zhou Nan naturally wouldn’t fight a battle he had no confidence in winning.
“Think you can escape?”
The pair of red wings behind Lou Yi flapped with a high-frequency ’buzz buzz buzz.’
And Lou Yi himself utilized the Grandmaster Realm to fly rapidly through the air, turning into a streak of red lightning, closing the distance between the two into attack range in an instant.
“Body Transformation.”
“No!!”
With a sharp red light flashing once more, Zhou Nan’s voice of despair was abruptly cut off.
Only a pile of fine red flesh was left floating amidst the gray mist on the scene.
Upon killing Zhou Nan, Lou Yi showed no satisfaction on his face.
He introspected his own body, finding that many bones were shattered from the earlier intense collision.
Clearly, he hadn’t escaped unscathed from the cross-tier battle just now.
However, under the effect of his regeneration talent, his internal injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
’With a close-range, nearly full-strength sneak attack, plus the opponent completely losing his courage, I barely managed to kill him.
If Zhou Nan was determined to fight me to the death, I might not have been able to kill him.’
’Even the strength of the Fourth Layer Spirit Platform is this formidable, the Fifth Layer will likely be even harder to kill, making even a sneak attack without much confidence… I need to maximize the battle’s results, create a chance for my clone.’
With this in mind, Lou Yi’s form shifted, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a seductive-looking man.
With fair skin, a snake-like face, and even the same eerie aura, identical to Zhou Nan.
Moments later, he returned to Zhou Nan’s original squad.
Seeing Lou Yi, now transformed as Zhou Nan, returning alone, everyone showed a look of astonishment on their faces, “Boss, why are you coming back alone?”
“Hmph! That bunch of guys, they even disregard Lord Trench Patrol Guest’s orders!” Lou Yi said angrily, his voice just as shrill as Zhou Nan’s.
“I think those Golden Evil Children have become arrogant!” a blue-robed cultivator said eerily, “If we report this to Lord Trench Patrol Guest, it will be quite a punishment for them!”
“Oh, go tell Lord Trench Patrol Guest now,” Lou Yi acted decisively, appointing that person to handle it,
“Tell him, we have discovered a highly powerful spiritual creature that only he can deal with.”
“Yes!” The blue-robed cultivator responded loudly, turning and running hurriedly into the gray mist.
Soon, the Trench Patrol Guest ’He’ arrived at the scene.
He was somewhat portly, with messy facial hair, wearing a copper mask, dressed in a black robe, his aura obscure and profound.
“My Lord!”
Everyone respectfully saluted He, who only coolly nodded in response.
