Chapter 2344: Chapter 2333: Fatal Strike! Death Devouring!

Ye Chenfeng landed on the ground.

He raised the Coffin of Death again, and Jin Hongsheng’s body had already turned into a pile of minced flesh.

From beginning to end, he had never bothered with the injuries he’d taken before; at this moment he was still covered in blood.

With a pitch-black coffin on his back, his whole body drenched in blood, his eyes were filled with a crazed thirst for slaughter.

Ye Chenfeng looked like a soul-reaping Emissary straight out of Hell.

Of course, this Coffin of Death was a "kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own" kind of thing; Ye Chenfeng’s body was likewise suffering the invasion of deathly qi.

But his condition was much better; the deathly qi that had invaded his body, although extremely slow at devouring his life force, was affecting his mind even more, infinitely amplifying the bloodlust in his heart.

Zhao Jinpeng, Wu Lingxiang and the others, who had escaped from the area drenched in dense deathly qi, saw Ye Chenfeng easily dissolve the combined attacks of Hua Wanchuan and the others, and then smash Jin Hongsheng directly into a meat patty; they couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

Some of the cultivators who had previously surrounded Zhao Jinpeng and the others had also escaped the range covered by the deathly qi; seeing Ye Chenfeng unleash such terrifying might, they instantly became like startled birds.

As for those cultivators who had chosen to watch from far away and help neither side, they slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Hua Wanchuan, Luo Qianhai, Zhao Wanzhong, and Li Yuanmu—these four, seeing Jin Hongsheng smashed directly into a meat patty, felt a shadow fall over their hearts. There was still an endless stream of dense deathly qi seeping out of the Coffin of Death, and even Divine King Realm experts like them could not remain unaffected. They knew that if this continued, there was a very high chance they would die at Ye Chenfeng’s hands. They had truly never expected a brat at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm to be able to force them to this point!

Luo Qianhai and Zhao Wanzhong of Xiao Yao Palace exchanged a glance, and Zhao Wanzhong gave Luo Qianhai a slight nod.

Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to launch another attack, Zhao Wanzhong, at the late stage of the Divine King Realm, suddenly erupted with a frenzied aura from within his body. His palm rapidly formed a Seal Formation in the air, and a complex sigil condensed in the void. He poured all the Spiritual Energy erupting from his body into that sigil.

At the same time.

Luo Qianhai’s eyes narrowed, and the air around him began to boil. Blue veins bulged on his forehead, and the Spiritual Energy in his body swept out in all directions, forming vortex after vortex around him.

With a loud "bang!"

A bloody hole suddenly burst open on Luo Qianhai’s abdomen. The instant the blood hole formed, that complex sigil rapidly surged into the wound on his stomach.

Luo Qianhai’s face became a shade more ferocious. "Xiao Yao Heavenly Art!"

After the complex sigil condensed by Zhao Wanzhong sank into the blood hole on Luo Qianhai’s abdomen, the wound on his stomach rapidly healed. At the same time, his aura skyrocketed, in an instant surging to the critical point of the Peak of the Divine King Realm, just one small step away from stepping into the Half-step Divine Venerable level. Although his strength had previously also been at the Peak of the Divine King Realm, he’d still been a good distance from Half-step Divine Venerable. It could be said that his strength now had increased greatly compared to just moments before.

This Xiao Yao Heavenly Art was a secret technique of Xiao Yao Palace that was not easily used.

The Xiao Yao Heavenly Art could temporarily borrow the power of others, allowing one to draw upon the Spiritual Energy in other people’s bodies for one’s own use.

Now that Luo Qianhai’s aura had suddenly soared, infinitely close to Half-step Divine Venerable, he was entirely relying on Zhao Wanzhong’s Spiritual Energy.

When attacking together, their power would inevitably be dispersed; it was better to concentrate all the power into one person. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

However, the Xiao Yao Heavenly Art had both advantages and drawbacks.

After lending his Spiritual Energy to Luo Qianhai, Zhao Wanzhong might be bedridden for an entire year, unable even to stand, while Luo Qianhai, who had received the Spiritual Energy, would also be unable to make even the slightest progress in his strength during that year.

Unfortunately, this was a secret technique of Xiao Yao Palace; Hua Wanchuan and Li Yuanmu of the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t know it. If they could also lend their power to Luo Qianhai, then Luo Qianhai might very well temporarily step into the Half-step Divine Venerable level, or even the Early Divine Venerate Realm.

After lending his power for Luo Qianhai to draw upon, Zhao Wanzhong collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale, and the deathly qi invading his body began devouring his life force at an even faster pace.

Seeing this, Luo Qianhai knew he could not afford to waste time. He thrust his palm toward the charging Ye Chenfeng, and the Spiritual Energy within his body erupted like a flash flood; the surrounding space instantly split open with streaks of black fissures.

"Death Devouring!"

A beam of black energy shot out from Luo Qianhai’s palm.

Once unleashed, this black beam continued to expand and expand. Wherever this massive beam passed, space crumbled rapidly as it surged fiercely toward Ye Chenfeng.

The entire stretch of space outside the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin trembled.

This Death Devouring was a forbidden secret art of Xiao Yao Palace. Once used, there was an extremely high chance the caster would give rise to a Heart Demon.

It seemed Luo Qianhai had completely staked everything.

Borrowing Zhao Wanzhong’s power and then unleashing a forbidden art, the power of this move was actually far stronger than the slash Hua Wanchuan had controlled just now.

After all, earlier Luo Qianhai and the others had only used power within their normal range, whereas now both secret technique and forbidden art were being used. Although Luo Qianhai had only borrowed the power of Zhao Wanzhong alone, his attack power had increased dramatically.

Meanwhile, on Hua Wanchuan and Li Yuanmu’s side.

While Luo Qianhai and Zhao Wanzhong were performing the Xiao Yao Heavenly Art, the two of them also came to a consensus.

Hua Wanchuan would still be the one controlling the Sky-Slashing Blade, while Li Yuanmu would assist from the side.

But this time, an extremely strange power erupted from both Hua Wanchuan and Li Yuanmu, causing their auras to soar.

The blood-red radiance blossoming on the Sky-Slashing Blade was even more dazzling than before.

The air around the two became violently agitated, and space rapidly twisted layer after layer.

Hua Wanchuan and Li Yuanmu simultaneously poured all of their Spiritual Energy into the Sky-Slashing Blade, and the air around them turned blood-red.

It was as if blood was constantly flowing in the air.

"Desperate Strike!"

Hua Wanchuan swung out the Sky-Slashing Blade.

Ten incomparably huge blood-red blade shadows condensed in the sky, each one stronger than the single blade shadow from before. Blood droplets kept falling from the heavens, as if the sky itself were bleeding.

Those ten colossal blade shadows slashed down toward Ye Chenfeng.

This Desperate Strike was likewise a forbidden art of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

This move could multiply the caster’s attack power many times over, but the price was that once it was unleashed, the caster’s cultivation would regress by a small realm.

Hua Wanchuan and Li Yuanmu had also completely thrown caution to the wind; it seemed they intended to kill Ye Chenfeng in a single blow. They too could clearly sense how bizarre Ye Chenfeng was, and they couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
