Chapter 541 Battle of Lingxi Island
above the sky.
Hu Xiong Ying had blood at the corner of her mouth and was breathing rapidly. Her right hand, which was holding the sword, remained steady, but her breathing had begun to become erratic.
On the other hand, the Blood Shark Ancestor still had sharp eyes, his robes billowing in the wind, exuding an aura of dominance.
Clearly, Blood Shark Ancestor still had the upper hand.
"Little girl, still not admitting defeat? Do you really think you can fight me?" Blood Shark Ancestor sneered, and countless blood energies condensed into a blood shark phantom, which roared in a low voice behind him.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiong Ying raised his sword and said, "Old man, you're right, I can't kill you, but do you really think I came here alone?"
Her eyes narrowed, and a sword light cleaved the sky, from which a delicate flying sword leaped out.
On the hilt of the sword, Master Nie Qing stood calmly and steadily.
At this moment, countless exclamations rang out, and the powerful figures who were engaged in a fierce battle below also consciously separated to the two sides and began to confront each other.
Huo Zhun's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Chongtian Temple..."
Blood Shark Ancestor also stared intently at Nie Qing, his fists gradually clenching.
"Nie Qing! You really want to come looking for trouble with this rude junior?"
Master Nie Qing glanced at everyone, lingering a little longer on Jian Xin.
She smiled faintly, but instead of answering Blood Shark Ancestor's question directly, she said, "Fellow Daoist, I heard that you are planning to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. Is that true?"
"what!"
The gasps grew even louder.
Many people have never even heard of the term "transformation into a god".
Those who knew about the Divine Transformation were even more dumbfounded.
That's a legendary realm, and Blood Shark Ancestor has already begun to plan such a top secret.
So envious...
Upon hearing this, Blood Shark Ancestor's expression hardened: "What nonsense are you spouting? The Nascent Soul stage is an untouchable realm. Besides, my lifespan is dwindling and my talent is limited. How could I possibly have such unrealistic ideas!"
Hu Xiong Ying laughed loudly: "Old fool, Master Nie Qing was just asking casually, why are you reacting so strongly? Did he touch a sore spot?"
"Arrogant brat! If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Blood Shark Ancestor roared, then looked at Nie Qing with a gloomy expression: "Fellow Daoist, I know your strength, but in Blood Shark Palace, so what if I fight two against one? Do you really think that the two of you joining forces can defeat me?"
Nie Qing slowly shook his head: "No, I was just asked to come and test my sword with the Ancestor."
"Hmph, hypocrites! That's why I hate Taoists the most!"
With a loud shout, the Blood Shark roared, and sword energy soared into the sky.
The three instantly engaged in battle. The sky was covered by endless dark clouds, and only streaks of blood and sword light could be seen, making it impossible to discern their figures.
At this moment, Ye Kang had already quietly returned to Zhang Zuisheng's side.
Fang Yu lay on the ground, with a sword wound on his body and a pale face.
Upon seeing Ye Kang, he immediately exclaimed in terror, "Little Ye! Are you a human or a ghost?!"
Ye Kang rolled his eyes at him and said, "You look no better than a ghost right now."
Zhang Zuisheng wasn't as unreliable as Fang Yu, but he still breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted his voice, "It's good that you're back. You took too much risks. Going to Crimson Fire Island alone was too dangerous. There are still unparalleled masters on Crimson Fire Island."
Ye Kang nodded.
Zhang Zuisheng continued, "You must have caught up with Huo Qingkong halfway there. Killing him would have been good, putting an end to those old grievances."
"Uncle-Master, Crimson Fire Island is gone."
"what?"
Zhang Zuisheng looked completely bewildered, as if he hadn't understood what Ye Kang was saying.
Ye Kang didn't continue explaining, as saying too much might frighten his drunken uncle.
He looked up at the sky and said, "Luckily we came back early, or we would have missed a battle of this magnitude."
"That's true. Witnessing a battle between three top-tier Eight Pillar masters would be an excellent opportunity for anyone. However, we should stay away."
After saying this, Zhang Zuisheng immediately ordered his disciples to retreat quickly.
Not only them, but other sects, guests from all walks of life, and even all the disciples of Blood Shark Palace all began to retreat.
In a short while, Lingxi Island was deserted, and everyone had moved to the sea.
Those with lower cultivation levels, seeking to be on the safe side, went directly to the most remote island, only daring to peek from afar.
There's no way around it; in a war of this magnitude, the entire Lingxi Island becomes a battlefield, and I'm afraid everything on the island will be destroyed.
Sure enough, just after everyone had completely retreated, streaks of sword light slashed down.
With a deafening roar, all the buildings on Lingxi Island were reduced to ruins, and large swathes of trees and forests collapsed.
And this was merely the aftermath of their battle.
"This is terrifying, Uncle-Master, let's go quickly, this is too scary..." Fang Yu wailed.
Zhang Zuisheng immediately tapped him on the head: "Foolish! Such an opportunity is something others would beg for!"
Fang Yu nodded and dared not say anything more.
Ye Kang had already used the Boundless Azure Eyes and exerted all his strength to finally see some of it clearly.
Within the clouds, Nie Qing formed a sword finger, and countless sword energies swirled around her, forming a terrifying sword formation according to her will.
As the sword finger fell, the great formation roared and instantly tore through the clouds, rushing towards Blood Shark Ancestor to kill him.
Hu Xiong Ying, on the other hand, extended his long sword and attacked directly from below, carrying overwhelming killing intent.
Faced with such a terrifying killing move, the Blood Shark Ancestor did not panic. Instead, he waved his right hand, and his true energy turned into a raging crimson color. Tens of thousands of blood shark phantoms roared and pounced out.
He then dodged Hu Xiong Ying's sword with a swift movement, and a circular Yin-Yang Blood Array rose up beneath his feet. Several blood pillars, like a cage, protected Blood Shark Ancestor while trapping Hu Xiong Ying within it.
Master Nie Qing immediately swung her sword to break through the blood-red cage, but at that moment, a blood shark opened its massive jaws behind her and swallowed her whole.
Ye Kang was dumbfounded.
This is what a top-tier expert is like!
Every move he made was an extremely powerful killing move, and his reaction speed far exceeded that of any opponent he had ever encountered. The power of his moves was even greater than that of the Crimson Flame Ancestor.
If the Crimson Fire Ancestor hadn't used earth fire, he really wouldn't have been a match for these three.
Ye Kang realized once again how great the differences were between the eight pillars.
Although they are at the same level of cultivation, the height of the Heavenly Pillar and the strength of their techniques determine the differences between them.
These three are clearly at the pinnacle of the Eight Pillars realm, and are probably only a hair's breadth away from the Divine Transformation realm.
Ye Kang compared his current strength with theirs, and in terms of physical strength alone, he was indeed no worse than them.
However, in terms of martial arts skills and the strength of internal energy, there is still a long way to go.
Just as Ye Kang was sighing, his Azure Eyes of Innocent Insight suddenly flickered, as if he saw a trace of yellow aura, which appeared and disappeared in an instant.
This trace of aura was extremely subtle; even Wu Wang Qing Tong could only detect a trace of it.
So much so that the three powerful figures in the battle did not sense anything amiss.
