Chapter 469

Su Lingxiu’s needle had a corrosive effect, although not deadly, which could corrode and dissolve the strength of a Divine Soul.

Such an attack was even more difficult to resist for the Divine Soul!

“Effective!”

Su Lingxiu was overjoyed, “Indeed, if I can heal the injuries of the Divine Soul, there is no reason I can’t harm it. I just haven’t figured out how to hurt the Divine Soul until now.”

Boom!

At this moment, Fang Hao once again drew upon the forces of heaven and earth, rooted in Formation, to lay the unique situation of Heaven and Earth, and included Su Liancheng within it!

Su Liancheng felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Who exactly was the man hidden in the shadows, what tactics was he using, and they were unpredictable. In this instant, he felt as though he had entered some sort of trap, with a sense of being involuntarily restrained.

If it were not for the slightly weaker power of this deceptive technique, he would have been completely bound, at the mercy of the other party’s manipulation.

Bang!

Once again, he broke free from the strange bind, his eyes glinted with a cold intensity, he launched a frenzied attack on Meng Chong, intending to deliver a heavy blow under his opponent’s contempt!

Fang Hao swayed, his face pale, but his eyes were bright. Hastily swallowing a medicinal pill, he did not wait to fully recover before he once again drawn upon the great forces of Heaven and Earth.

Su Lingxiu flicked her finger, a wisp of red needle light shot out instantaneously, striking Su Liancheng’s Divine Soul.

This strike was stronger than the last, the Divine Soul strength dissipated instantly, and the red needle light nearly pierced into Su Liancheng’s Divine Soul itself.

Su Liancheng was horrified. An intense sense of crisis arose, causing him to roar and rush in a certain direction, attempting to escape!

“Want to leave? Not so easy!”

Meng Chong sneered, his body moved, translocating in an instant, blocking Su Liancheng’s escape route.

At this moment, the flames of the Phoenix churned, and the fog piled up, even the directions were reversed, Fang Hao once again urged the Great Formation, stepping out to reveal a bright aura on the ground.

A force of terrain, which emerged like chains, ascended and bound Su Liancheng.

The earth-lock formation of Heaven and Earth’s unique paradigm!

The combined strength of Meng Chong and the others suppressed Su Liancheng, even taking advantage of him to enhance themselves. Meanwhile in another part of the Great Formation, Xu Yan was surrounded by a halo of sword light, and his Great Formation had turned into a Sword Array.

The Great Formation laid down by Fang Hao, in Xu Yan’s single thought, transformed into a Mountain River Sword Array. At this moment, Ke Linping felt as though he was in a mountain river.

And Xu Yan was the master of this mountain river. With the surrounding Sword Intent and the continuous force of the Mountain River Sword Array, Ke Linping become increasingly apprehensive the longer the fight went on.

He had a strong sense of crisis.

He attempted many times to break out of the Sword Array, but was forced back each time.

Outside the Great Formation, Li Xuan silently observed the fight within. Xu Yan’s breakthrough to the minor Divine Intent State and his comprehension of Sword Array greatly enhanced his strength.

Now by himself, he could already handle an early-stage Refining God Heavenly Man Martial Artist.

“The outcome is already decided!”

Whether it was Ke Linping or Su Liancheng, their fate had been predetermined the moment they entered the Formation.

“After this battle, Fang Hao will be more proficient in applying the Martial Arts of Mystery, and gain more insights.”

This battle was a good thing.

“Your disciple Su Lingxiu has comprehended the Fusion Divine Needle, allowing you to gain the Fusion Divine Technique.”

As a Dan Doctor Martial Artist, Su Lingxiu, who could heal the injuries of the Divine Soul, naturally would know how to harm it and how to dissolve the Divine Soul.

This was an inevitable result.

“The Jade God Sect and Su Family should be considered as stepping stones.”

That’s what Li Xuan thought in his heart.

Strong individuals often step onto the pinnacle one step at a time using countless stepping stones to rise. Xu Yan and Meng Chong’s entry to the Ling Domain, the Jade God Sect and the Su family, were just those stepping stones for their rise.

“Yuzhou, after all, is not strong. The real geniuses of the Ling Domain are not in this province.”

Li Xuan thought silently.

Although Ke Linping and Su Liancheng were Refining God Heavenly Men, their strength, I am afraid, is not considered very strong among the other Refining God Heavenly Men.

After the matter of the Jade God Sect and Su family, it is about time to leave Yuzhou and head towards the real large provinces of Ling Domain, to compete against the geniuses of Ling Domain.

The battle was nearing its end.

Su Liancheng looked terribly pale, he had expended too much energy, and he had also gone mad. He glared at Su Lingxiu and frantically attacked, intending to take someone down with him even in death.

Although Su Lingxiu was slightly weaker, she was not slow. With the deployment of her movement technique, she created numerous illusions. Combined with being within the Great Formation, this made it impossible for Su Liancheng to accurately determine her true position.

With the attacks from Meng Chong and Fang Hao, trying to harm Su Lingxiu was nothing but wishful thinking!

Suddenly, Su Lingxiu’s golden needles burst forth like a shower. In the gap of Su Liancheng’s resistance, a strike from Meng Chong’s God-annihilating Slash shocked his Divine Soul strength.

It was at this moment that a slender needle, made from the condensation of Dan Flame, pierced his divine soul, creating a small incision.

The needle pierced into his divine soul.

In this instant, from where the needle had pierced, a hole the size of a finger slowly corroded open and continued to spread!

“Ah!”

Intense pain transmitted from his divine soul, Su Liancheng let out a scream. His eyes slightly bulged out due to the pain, his body trembling undeniably, resulting in flaws in his defence and attack.

Humm!

A slashing blade light fell, its fire was like a python. The power of the great formation swallowed him!

On the other side, Xu Yan, with a cold expression, raised his hand slightly. Inside the sword array, the Sword of Thunderbolt and the Sudden Annihilation Sword fell. The mountains and rivers overturned, and the sword array was like a flood.

In the blink of an eye, Ke Linping’s body was pierced. His divine soul continuously crumbled under the Sudden Annihilation Sword.

“Where did you come from?”

Ke Linping had a face full of resentment and indignation. He couldn’t believe he would fall here.

“What state are you in?”

By this point in the battle, he had noticed that Xu Yan’s state was unusual. He was neither a Minor Heavenly Man in the Gathering God State, nor a Major Heavenly Man in the Unification God State, and even less a Refining God Heavenly Man!

However, there was a presence similar to the power of the divine soul, yet it was significantly different from the divine soul!

“Divine Intent State!”

Xu Yan said indifferently.

Ke Linping looked puzzled, what was the Divine Intent State, and why had he never heard of it?

Before he had a chance to ask further, his divine soul had faded and completely vanished from the world.

On the other side, Su Liancheng also fell in the great formation with reluctance and anger.

“Your disciple has killed a Refining God Heavenly Man; you have gained the third form of God Obliteration.”

Li Xuan took a step and came back to the manor.

Inside the formation, Fang Hao’s face turned pale. This battle brought him great gains, yet cost him a lot as well. He also had a deeper understanding of the Formation and the mystery of Heaven and Earth.

With a wave of his hand, the array tool flew back and the formation was lifted.

“I killed a Refining God Heavenly Man!”

Fang Hao seemed to be in a dream. Not long ago, he was just a low-level Loose Cultivator who had dreams and studied the art of weapon forging. But now, he had laid out a great formation and, together with his elder brothers and sisters, had killed the high-ranking nobles who refined God!

Life is truly strange and wonderful!

The battle ended. The fall of the Heavenly Man from the Jade God Sect and the Su Family would inevitably cause a huge shock in Yuzhou. Both the Jade God Sect and the Su Family would feel fear from this!

The four disciples returned to the manor, and the first thing Fang Hao did was to set up formations in the manor again to enhance them.

After the arrangement was completed, they individually digested the gains from this battle.

Meng Chong was not far from achieving the first minor success of the Undying Golden Body. Su Lingxiu was only one step away from achieving minor success in the divine intent state.

The Heavenly Mysterious Pattern inside Fang Hao’s body was almost perfect. Soon, he could set up the Mysterious Formation, condense the next Heavenly Mysterious Pattern.

Shi’er, Zhou Ying, and Meng Shushu were all stimulated, starting to practice diligently, hoping to break through the divine intent state as soon as possible.

So was Red Cat. It wanted to be the King of the Great Devils!

On the second day after Ke Linping and Su Liancheng were killed, some martial artists explored near the manor, but they did not find its location.

The formation was even more concealed and hard to detect after being strengthened by Fang Hao.

Near the capital of Zheng Country, martial artists gathered nearly carpet-bombing the surroundings. The martial artists from the Jade God Sect and the Su Family were nearly emptied out.

On the sixth day, two Heavenly Men inspected the area.

Moreover, they were both mid-stage Refining God Heavenly Men, one from the Jade God Sect and the other from the Su Family.

Li Xuan quietly observed for a while. Mid-stage Refining God Heavenly Men were nothing more than that, still able to be annihilated by one wave of his hand.

Yuzhou was shaken!

The two Refining God Heavenly Men from the Jade God Sect and the Su Family teamed up to search for Xu Yan and Meng Chong but disappeared without a trace. They did not even know where they had fallen.

The Jade God Sect and the Su Family were furious. The reward was further increased. Refining God Heavenly Man had almost emptied out, searching in all four directions of Yuzhou. They even hired Loose Cultivators who were Refining God Heavenly Men to participate in the large search.

A grand and vigorous search operation spread throughout Yuzhou. It seemed that they would dig three feet into the ground to find Xu Yan and Meng Chong. However, half a month went by, and there was still no clue.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
