Chapter 537: Slay Jingang with a Sword, Don't Leave a Single One Alive!
"Then we'll see whether your Subduing Demon Staff or the sword in my hand is sharper!"
As soon as the words were out.
Xiao Yi stepped forward with his sword drawn, and as he sprinted, the Wind Thunder wings unfurled behind him.
Boom!
In the vibration of wings.
A frenzy of wind and thunder stirred up swirling dust.
Xiao Yi ascended in one step, appearing in front of the third Jingang Monk in the blink of an eye.
"So fast..."
The third Jingang Monk's face changed, his arms shook, and his muscles tensed instantly, "Jingang is indestructible!"
Clang!
A sword fell.
The collision between the sword's edge and skin burst forth dazzling sparks.
This third Jingang Monk's body was incomparably hard, as indestructible as Jingang, having cultivated the Horizontal Training Skill "Golden Bell Shield."
Pride filled his face as he sneered, "My Golden Bell Shield has been cultivated to the highest realm of indestructibility. It's impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire. You'll never break through my invincible defense..."
"Invincible defense?"
Xiao Yi scoffed, "No one dares to call themselves invincible in front of me!"
"Battle unbeaten!"
"Attack invincible!"
"Nothing indestructible!"
"Invincible in the world..."
Xiao Yi then unleashed a series of the "Invincible King Fist" against the third Jingang Monk, without holding back a single punch, each one landing solidly on his body.
One punch.
Two punches.
Three punches...
The overpowering fist technique fell upon him repeatedly, mashing the third Jingang Monk's body into an uneven mess, adorned with deep pits shaped like fists. When the final punch struck heavily against the third Jingang Monk's chest, that golden patch of skin burst open, and the destroyed heart visibly ceased its beating.
"How... how... how is this possible..."
Despair and unwillingness filled the eyes of the third Jingang Monk.
How could he be smashed to death by Xiao Yi's heavy fists when his Golden Bell Shield was cultivated to the ultimate realm, impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire?
Splurt!
Blood spewed from his mouth.
The third Jingang Monk fell backwards to the ground.
"Third senior brother..."
"Damn you, demon, continuously slaughtering my Buddhist disciples, die!"
"Demon-Subduing Staff Formation!"
Sixteen Jingang Monks struck out simultaneously, their staffs blotted out the sky and land.
"Green Lotus Reincarnation!"
The Falling Dust Sword formed a Sword Qi Flower Lotus above his head.
The Sword Qi Flower Lotus slowly spun, its petals blooming one after another, catching the staff shadows raining down like a torrential downpour. The Sword Qi Flower Lotus trembled violently, then exploded with a bang. But Xiao Yi took advantage of this moment to flash toward one of them, yet the Demon-Subduing Staff Formation had its unique aspects.
As Xiao Yi attacked, the companion to the left and right of that person struck out simultaneously.
The Subduing Demon Staffs crossed into an 'X', blocking Xiao Yi's Falling Dust Sword.
With a turn.
They sent Xiao Yi tumbling through the air, followed by a thunderous bang as he was smashed to the ground.
The moment Xiao Yi landed, he slapped the ground with one hand and retreated to one side.
Almost at the same time he moved...
```
Countless staff shadows fell furiously, causing loud roars like a mountain flood bursting forth, shaking the ground, even more intensely than a dragon turning over. As the dust cleared, Xiao Yi once again found himself surrounded by the sixteen monks.
Xiao Yi licked his lips, his eyes brimming with fervor as he let out a satisfied growl, "What a Demon-Subduing Staff Formation, impressive in both offense and defense. However, if this is the extent of your abilities, then don't even think about leaving here alive today..."
The Falling Dust Sword swooshed into the ground.
In a split second.
Sword Qi surged.
Boom, boom, boom...
Amid the earth-shaking roars, spikes burst suddenly from the ground, the Sword Qi was concentrated and caught the Jingang Monks off-guard, striking them down.
Screams echoed all around.
Six lives were lost in an instant, and the remaining ten were gravely injured.
Seeing eight fellow monks perish in the blink of an eye, the ten great Jingang Monks exchanged fearful glances and said, "Run!"
"This madman... we are no match for him..."
"May Buddha manifest his compassionate spirit quickly..."
The ten Jingang Monks turned and fled.
"Since you've come, then you shall stay forever!" With his sword poised, Xiao Yi unleashed a succession of the God Devouring Seven Extremes Sword techniques.
Sword light slashed across the sky, the Sword Intent defied the heavens.
Before the increasingly ferocious Xiao Yi, these monks who had lost their will to fight turned exceedingly fragile.
Where the sword's edge passed, heads were reaped.
Moments later...
All eighteen Jingang Monks from the Chongshan Shaoyuan Temple perished under Xiao Yi's Falling Dust Sword.
Xiao Yi immediately began to clear the battlefield.
On the bodies of the eighteen Jingang Monks, he discovered many Buddhist pills, and especially inside the storage ring of the leading Jingang Monk, he found a Buddhist Relic. A relic like this was only produced by high-ranking monks in the Nirvana Realm, containing the essence of one's entire cultivation. Xiao Yi's lips curved slightly upwards, "Beautiful! With this Buddhist Relic, once it's refined, I should be able to reach the sixth layer of the Dharma Manifestation Realm and congeal two hundred and eighty million God Sealing Seeds. By then, even facing a seventh Nirvana Realm expert, I could easily cut them down!"
Anyone who could reach the Nirvana Realm was undoubtedly a formidable and talented fighter.
With Xiao Yi's current state, once reaching the sixth layer of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, he would be capable of slaying a seventh Nirvana Realm expert.
Even when facing a superpower from the eighth Nirvana, he would have a fair chance of survival.
"The commotion of the battle here will likely be discovered by the Flying Wolf Army soon. I'd better leave quickly and head to Mountain Town City..." Xiao Yi glanced around, his Wind Thunder Wings vibrated, and he turned into a streak of golden light across the sky.
Shortly after Xiao Yi left.
A swarm of winged wolves quickly filled Tianyang Ridge, confronting the chaos before them.
Wang Yanzhao smashed his fist against the rock wall in fury. Amid the resounding roars, the rock wall shattered, and debris cascaded down as his gaze turned exceedingly icy, "Damn it, he got away again."
"General, these are the eighteen Jingang Monks from Chongshan Shaoyuan Temple..." The deputy inspected the aftermath and reported.
"Eighteen Jingang Monks? Together, they could stand against an expert who had undergone five Nirvanas. Yet Xiao Yi slaughtered them so effortlessly..."
Wang Yanzhao's face grew uglier. He knew Xiao Yi's cultivation had broken through again, and his killing intent intensified, "Such a monster must be eradicated. Once he reaches his full potential, who in the vast Sword Dynasty can be his match? Send word back to the capital immediately, and ask His Majesty to send someone from the Black Water Platform!"
"Black Water Platform?"
The deputy's face changed drastically.
The Black Water Platform was the Sword Dynasty's most elite force.
Few in number.
But each a high-ranking expert in the Nirvana Realm.
Gulp!
The deputy swallowed hard and said with a wry smile, "General, the Nantian Dynasty has regulations that forbid the direct intervention of those above Nirvana Realm in wartime. If we dispatch the Black Water Platform and the Nantian Dynasty decides to hold us accountable..."
"Don't worry!"
Wang Yanzhao gestured dismissively, his face twisted into a cold sneer, "This isn't a war between nations, it's simply a manhunt for a criminal who has plundered our cities!"
The deputy's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "I understand!"
"Go!"
After sending the deputy away, Wang Yanzhao narrowed his eyes into slits, a fierce look crossing his features, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, keep showing off for a few more days. Once the Black Water Platform makes their move, your end will come!"
