Chapter 373: Chapter 256: The Second Roulette, Part 3

Integrating the Fire Spirit Root allows one to control flames.

Integrating the Earth Spirit Root allows one to cause earth-based harm.

The more Spiritual Roots integrated, the greater the power.

Relying on his knowledge of the past, Jiang Taicang, upon leaving Cyan Yang City, targeted Huo Wei, the Sect Leader of Qiu Mountain Sect, who possessed the Earth Spirit Root within him.

After a long wait, finally tonight, Jiang Taicang, who had prepared for a long time, succeeded in extracting the soul of the Spiritual Root from the other, integrating it into himself.

Possessing the Five Ghost Spirit Body and mastering the power to control earth, this was Jiang Taicang’s confident trump card.

After two rocky palms struck Qin Yuesheng, they began grinding like millstones, stone powder flying as they tried to crush Qin Yuesheng to dust.

Jiang Taicang harbored deep resentment towards Qin Yuesheng, hating him for snatching away the Celestial Demon Blade and the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror when his own power was still weak.

Without these two items, Jiang Taicang’s speed of strengthening was severely hindered, forcing him to exert much more effort and energy to make up for this loss; even now, recalling it made him extraordinarily furious.

Shangguan Lan stood trembling on the side, noting how Jiang Taicang seemed even stronger once more.

As the palms ground on, they suddenly paused, the originally merged rocky palms slowly separating further apart.

Jiang Taicang’s eyes widened as he saw Qin Yuesheng propping apart each rocky palm with his hands, using sheer physical strength to push them apart.

"How can this guy have such power!" Jiang Taicang exclaimed in disbelief.

The Soul-Catching Demon quickly crawled onto Qin Yuesheng’s arm, transforming into the Soul-Catching Arm, instantly boosting Qin Yuesheng’s power, so much so that one rocky palm couldn’t withstand and was instantly crushed into pieces by a single grasp.

With a reverse punch, he smashed the other rocky palm into fragments.

Seeing the Soul-Catching Arm on Qin Yuesheng’s arm, Jiang Taicang’s face grew increasingly grim.

He wasn’t the only one with fortuitous encounters...

Rumble! Rumble!

The ground beneath shook violently, sharp irregular stone pillars suddenly sprouting out, enveloping the area where Qin Yuesheng stood.

Jiang Taicang swung his hands, the mini human face tumor on his forehead glowing orange, causing stones and rocks to float up from the ground and shoot toward Qin Yuesheng from all directions.

A massive wave of rocks closed in from all around, becoming quite a striking spectacle; Qin Yuesheng staked the Celestial Demon Blade into the ground, instantly drawing the Black Dragon Sword, wielding a sword in each hand, slicing and hacking swiftly.

His speed was so fast it left afterimages; the dance of two sword lights formed an impenetrable sword curtain.

Rocks were split apart under Qin Yuesheng’s sword, large blocks turning to small, small to powder, not a single piece able to strike Qin Yuesheng’s body.

Having acquired the secret sword tomb left by Bai Yue Sword Saint, the insights of Sword Dao and Thousand Sect Swordsmanship within had long elevated Qin Yuesheng to the pinnacle of Sword Dao, so that even the former Bai Yue Sword Saint couldn’t gain any advantage over Qin Yuesheng in swordplay.

In an instant, Qin Yuesheng moved.

With swords paving the way, obstacles ceased.

Everything that obstructed Qin Yuesheng’s path onward was rendered null under his swords.

As dust flew, only the cold gleam of sword lights shimmered.

Jiang Taicang ferociously increased his control over the rocks; walls upon walls of rock rose and stood, forming eighteen barriers in Qin Yuesheng’s path.

Dragon Soaring Sword Skill: Dragon Tooth!

Qin Yuesheng dexterously rotated the sword hilts with ten fingers, reversing his grip as he swung slashing.

A cross slash, sword marks instantly appeared on the first rock wall, Sword Qi piercing through, shattering several further behind.

In mere blinks, Qin Yuesheng broke through the final rock wall, appearing before Jiang Taicang.

"What!" Jiang Taicang gasped, quickly bringing forth his short bone staff to block and hinder Qin Yuesheng’s offensive.

Jiang Taicang’s short bone staff was evidently no ordinary item; whenever swung, green mist would gush from the corpse head, evidently toxic.

Qin Yuesheng didn’t retreat, immediately hacking down on the short bone staff with both swords.

Bang! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The short bone staff appeared fragile but its resilience greatly exceeded Qin Yuesheng’s expectations; the Black Dragon Sword didn’t cut through, not even the Dragon-Slaying Sword managed to sever it, only carving a groove into the staff.

Qin Yuesheng was surprised, and Jiang Taicang’s state was hardly better.

This short bone staff was a superior treasure, crafted from the forearm bone of a Grandmaster, tempered through his lifetime of Inner Strength, extremely precious, its hardness not inferior to star iron.

But now it’s been marked by this person’s sword?

Where did this sword come from? He had no memory of seeing such a sword, could it be an unknown fortuitous encounter?

How does the young master of the Qin family possess such fate.

Qin Yuesheng spat forcefully at Jiang Taicang’s face, a cloud of turbid Qi shot forth like a blade, aiming directly at Jiang Taicang’s right eye.

The man’s reactions were quick; he swiftly tilted his head aside, preventing the Qi that could have pierced his right eye, merely slicing off his ear.
