Chapter 224 Qiu Shou Xian uses underhanded tactics, Xiao Hei suffers a crushing defeat.
Xiao Hei was still self-aware enough to know that he had just managed to repel Qiu Shou Xian with a single blow.
It wasn't that his cultivation level was superior to his opponent's; it was merely due to the explosive power of his bloodline and the element of surprise.
He also knew that with Qiu Shou Xian's strength, he would attack again in just a few breaths.
The only way to be truly safe now is to retreat to the mountain-protecting formation.
However, Qiu Shouxian's speed still exceeded his expectations.
Just as the two were about to step into the array gate, the poisonous fog rose up again from all around.
Although Xiao Hei's cultivation level was not comparable to Qiu Shou Xian's, his physical strength was formidable, so he was not afraid of the poisonous fog, but the green wood behind him could hardly withstand it.
"Fellow Daoist, you've already come all this way, do you still want to leave? You might as well all stay here."
Before Xiao Hei could even think of a solution, Qiu Shou Xian reappeared.
He gripped the Lion-Dragon Blade in his hand again, the panic he had felt earlier gone, replaced by a chilling killing intent in his eyes.
Xiao Hei turned around and stared at him, fully alert.
"I will pretend that what happened today never occurred, and you, sir, will never know what happened here. As for Randeng, you can do with him as you see fit, how about it?"
Xiao Hei knew that his chances of defeating Qiu Shou Xian were not high, so it would be best if he could just give up now.
A sinister smile curled at the corner of Qiu Shou Xian's mouth:
"No matter what, as I just said, since you're already here, you might as well stay as well."
"Don't worry, I'll act quickly; the three of you won't feel any pain."
Seeing that negotiations were hopeless, Xiao Hei did not hesitate and took the initiative to make a move.
"A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal dares to make a move? You are truly arrogant beyond measure! Today, I will use your primordial spirit to refine my Lion-Dragon Blade!"
Qiu Shou Xian was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this little black guy would dare to make the first move. Immediately, the pressure of the Great Luo was poured down.
He did not rush into a direct attack, but instead played like a cat toying with a mouse, displaying the indifference that the strong always show towards the weak.
Or rather, he regained the authority he had lost in front of Taibai through Xiao Hei.
With a flick of his fingers, a cyan aura tore through the air and struck Xiao Hei. Such power was enough to cut an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal in two.
Xiao Hei neither dodged nor avoided, but clenched his right fist, revealing dragon scales beneath his skin, and actually punched out to meet the qi.
"boom!"
The explosion was deafening, and the protective energy shattered, turning into countless points of light.
Xiao Hei's figure only paused slightly before it approached within ten feet of Qiu Shou Xian.
At the same time, he subtly flicked his left palm behind his back, sending a wisp of divine thought towards Qingmu:
"Quickly inform the master to come to our rescue, or we may both die here today!"
Qiu Shou Xian's pupils shrank suddenly, somewhat surprised by the opponent's powerful physical body.
He abandoned his disdain, his right hand loosely gripping the blade, the Lion-Dragon Saber radiating a murderous aura. He took a step forward and swung the blade in a slash.
This strike was devoid of any fancy moves, displaying only the immense power of the Great Luo and the intent to sever everything.
Xiao Hei's hair stood on end; even before the sharp intent arrived, his skin already felt a faint stinging pain.
He let out a long roar, and the dark gold patterns all over his body suddenly lit up. He crossed his arms to protect himself, actually using his flesh and blood to withstand the blade of the magic weapon.
"clang!"
A deafening roar echoed across the land, and a ring of air exploded outwards, sweeping away the clouds and mist within a radius of a hundred miles.
Xiao Hei's sleeves were torn to shreds, his muscles bulged, and a white mark was etched on his arm, but it had not been cut open.
Fighting here would inevitably drag Aoki into it, so he took advantage of the situation and leaped backward, soaring straight into the sky.
Qiu Shou Xian was even more surprised. Even a Da Luo Qi would not dare to take this blow head-on, yet this little black guy actually withstood it with his bare body.
"It seems this demonic dragon possesses the bloodline of the ancestral dragon. No wonder it is so strange. I underestimated you; I previously thought you were just a mixed-blood black dragon."
Before he finished speaking, he had already caught up to mid-air and launched another attack.
The Lion-Headed Blade transformed into a raging, dark blue torrent, its blade energy crisscrossing and cleaving the sky.
Xiao Hei pushed his speed to the limit, weaving and dodging amidst the flashing blades, no longer daring to take the blades head-on with his body.
As for those he couldn't dodge, he simply smashed them away with a single punch.
"Bang! Bang! Clang! Boom!"
High in the sky, two figures moved with incredible speed, transforming into two constantly colliding and intersecting beams of light, one blue and one black.
The force of the fists and the energy of the swords scattered and burst forth, tearing the mountains below into countless holes, causing boulders to crumble and the earth to shake violently.
Relying on his powerful physique comparable to that of a mid-stage Great Luo Immortal and his beast-like fighting instincts, Xiao Hei actually managed to engage in a fierce and evenly matched battle with Qiu Shou Xian, showing no signs of defeat for the time being.
Unable to break through Qiu Shou Xian's defenses, a surge of restlessness rose within him.
He suddenly pulled back, creating a distance of dozens of feet, and raised the Lion-Dragon Blade high in his hand, pouring all his immense magical power into the blade.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm tired of playing around now, so it's time for you to get going."
Suddenly, the sky darkened abruptly, the wind and clouds reversed, and a terrifying blade intent that could annihilate everything filled the heavens and earth, firmly enveloping Xiao Hei.
"Lion Nail Devouring Heaven Slash!"
This strike completely sealed off all four directions, leaving Xiao Hei with nowhere to hide but to take the blow head-on.
Little Black's eyes turned bloodshot, and it let out a furious roar. Its internal energy and blood erupted like a volcano, and all the dark gold patterns on its body burned and condensed into a layer of solid, hard dragon scales.
He poured all his strength and all his understanding of the physical body into his right fist, advancing instead of retreating, and struck out with a bang at the thin line that cleaved the heavens and earth.
"break!"
When Xiao Hei's fist collided with Qiu Shou Xian's blade, an indescribable burst of destructive energy erupted.
"Click..."
A faint yet distinct cracking sound was heard.
A deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on Xiao Hei's fist, and the golden-red blood that splattered out was immediately annihilated by the raging energy.
Even more terrifying was that the all-consuming sword intent had invaded his body, like countless fine blades, frantically cutting through his meridians and internal organs.
"Wow!"
Xiao Hei tilted its head back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The punch, imbued with all his magical power, ultimately failed to completely negate the all-out attack of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The gap in cultivation levels was displayed cruelly and thoroughly at this moment.
He was violently thrown away by the force of the explosion, plummeting straight to the ground like a meteor, leaving a bleak black trail in the air.
"Boom!!"
Xiao Hei's body crashed heavily into the already ravaged mountain below.
The earth trembled violently, and a huge crater tens of meters in diameter exploded open, sending dust and debris soaring into the sky, resembling a small but menacing mushroom cloud.
In the center of the pit, Xiao Hei lay there, covered in blood, his right arm twisted unnaturally, his breath extremely weak.
He struggled to move, but this only brought him more intense pain and coughing, with blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth.
His vision began to blur, and all he could hear was a buzzing sound.
Only the murderous footsteps of Qiu Shou Xian, one after another, approached from afar, striking his heart clearly and slowly.
"Fellow Daoist, I have already said it, so why do you still struggle?"
Why not just wait to die peacefully? You ended up covered in wounds. But don't worry, I'll send you on your way, annihilating your soul and spirit.
