Chapter 1017 - 278: A Brilliant Stratagem Draws the Enemy In, Feiyang’s Blade Shatters the Bandit’s Offense (2)

The sands and stones carried by the shockwave scattered like a torrential rain, even shattering the distant boulders to dust.

Lying on Shi Feiyang’s back, Xue Qiuchun felt a force as overwhelming as toppling mountains and overturning seas rushing toward her, filling her heart with awe.

Fortunately, the white mist emanating from Shi Feiyang’s Bright Jade Technique formed an invisible barrier, firmly protecting her from the impact of the shockwave.

She looked up and saw Shi Feiyang standing tall like a pine, his figure even more impressive amidst the dance of blades and shadows, as if the War God himself had descended.

Xue Qiuchun couldn’t help but mutter to herself, "Young Master Shi, with such bravery, you will surely defeat this villain and save my father..."

Shi Feiyang used the momentum of the impact, quickly twisting his body in midair like a lithe eagle, turning skillfully in the gale.

The Celestial Frost Blade in his hand followed the momentum, carving out a semicircle, unleashing the ultimate move of the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, "Peerless and Unmatched."

The blade light resembled a cold moon, exuding a chilling gloom. Wherever it went, the air instantly froze into frost, and a thick layer of ice formed on the ground.

Seeing this, Blood Venerable’s expression drastically changed, feeling the terrifying power contained in this strike. Not daring to take it head-on, he quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously moving his hands rapidly to form a three-zhang wide blood shadow barrier in front of him.

But with a "hiss," the Celestial Frost Blade seemed like a streak of white light, effortlessly tearing through the blood shadow barrier, raising a mist of blood, spreading like a bloomed blood-red mandala in the air.

Blood Venerable’s left arm was slashed with a wound so deep the bone was visible, the flesh peeling back, and blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly dyeing his robe red. In the dim night, the vivid red was particularly shocking.

In agony, Blood Venerable’s face twisted in pain, veins bulging like gnarled twigs, his eyes red like burning coals—an image of a trapped fierce beast.

The searing pain didn’t make him retreat. Instead, it fully ignited the latent ferocity within, like awakening an evil jiao after a thousand years of sleep. The ferocity surged like a flood, instantly drowning reason. He tilted his head back and let out a thunderous roar, rolling like thunder, shaking everyone’s eardrums painfully and filling their minds with a buzzing sound.

The roar was filled with anger and unwillingness.

Then, his hands quickly formed seals like ghosts, with fingers flying, causing red ripples in the air.

He executed the kill move "Boundless Blood Sea" from the Blood Shadow Divine Technique. Instantly, the blood shadows around him surged like boiling lava, transforming into a boundless blood sea, with foul winds gusting and massive waves crashing, rushing towards Shi Feiyang.

Within the bloody waves, countless hideous faces loomed, baring their fangs or glaring, emitting anguished screams, as if evil spirits from the Nine Nether Hell eagerly wanting to drag Shi Feiyang into a disastrous abyss.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang’s expression was as grave as a mask cast in iron, steady as a mountain, unshakable.

He took a deep breath, True Qi surged within his Dantian, akin to a jiao drinking water, instantly absorbing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

He concentrated all his power into his right hand, and in an instant, his right hand glowed intensely, like a small sun, illuminating the entire area.

He executed once again the ultimate move "Peerless and Unmatched" of the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, tightly gripping the Celestial Frost Blade, raising it high. The radiance on the blade was dazzling and brilliant, like a lightning bolt piercing the heavens, impossible to look at directly.

As he swung the blade down forcefully, a giant blade aura roared out, carrying an earth-splitting momentum. Where the blade aura passed, the air crackled like a series of exploding firecrackers; the sand and stones on the ground were swept up, flying all over, like a sandstorm engulfing the earth. The blade aura and the blood shadows collided with a thunderous boom, as if the heavens were collapsing, causing the entire mountains to shake violently. The immense power clashed, forming a massive energy vortex, like a greedy behemoth, sweeping everything around into it. Sands and stones, grasses and trees were ground into powder in the vortex, scattered all over the sky; deep cracks appeared on the ground, as if the land was torn by an invisible giant hand, with steaming heat and flickering red light like magma glinting within the cracks.

Zhong Renwang, Xie Zhichuan, Dugu Yan, Xue Tielong, and others battling intensely were knocked to the ground by the powerful force like kites with broken strings. They lay on the ground, groaning in pain, covered in dust and blood, looking incredibly disheveled.

Some bled from the mouth and nose, some had broken arms, cries of agony echoed one after another, reverberating through this blood-soaked world.

Only Xue Qiuchun lay steadily on Shi Feiyang’s back, tightly protected by the white mist of Shi Feiyang’s Bright Jade Technique.

She watched the breathtakingly intense battle scene before her, filled with anxiety and concern, her eyes unceasingly fixed on Shi Feiyang, muttering to herself, "Young Master Shi, you must stay safe..."

Her voice was soft and trembling, full of endless care and worry.

Under Shi Feiyang’s powerful blade aura, Blood Venerable’s blood sea was instantly slashed open with a huge gash, the blood shadow dissipating like a fast-receding tide, revealing his miserable figure. His face was as pale as paper, blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with terror and unwillingness.

Seizing the momentum, Shi Feiyang’s figure flashed like a white beam of light, reaching Blood Venerable with extreme speed.

His eyes showed a trace of decisiveness, in which burned anger against evil and adherence to justice. With the Celestial Frost Blade in hand, he rapidly stabbed out, aiming straight for Blood Venerable’s throat. This strike, filled with all of Shi Feiyang’s fury, swore to completely eradicate this villain.
