Chapter 2280 - 2239: Wang Xiaoqiang Battles Qiu Xianji

"Hmm, something's not right. How did this kid level up again?" Qiu Xianji swept Wang Xiaoqiang with his Divine Sense, instantly widening his eyes in surprise.

In just half a day, Wang Xiaoqiang had leveled up three times, moving from the Second Decline of Heavenly Beings to the Fifth Decline of Heavenly Beings. The speed of this upgrade was incredibly freakish, especially since Wang Xiaoqiang had been continuously fleeing and fighting during this time. The pursuit from the heroes left him no time for cultivation.

"I think the kid was already strong, just hiding his cultivation base. Perhaps his cultivation level is far beyond the Fifth Decline of Heavenly Beings, so we must be cautious later to avoid falling for his trick," analyzed the hero of the Third Mold of the Immortal.

"No, there's no Spell Technique to hide one's cultivation base in the world, not to mention he's unnecessary to hide it. The Fifth Decline of Heavenly Beings should be his true cultivation level. However, this kid is indeed peculiar; being careful and cautious is essential," said Qiu Xianji with a solemn expression.

"That kid has been using 'Drive the Tiger, Swallow the Wolf' here, employing Ghost Souls and Dead Spirit Puppets to deal with us. If we descend, we will be entangled and unable to escape."

"Then we'll attack from the sky with Divine Sense," suggested Qiu Xianji.

"Yes, this method is feasible." The hero of the Third Mold of the Immortal agreed, then gave a command. Thousands released Divine Sense together, attacking Wang Xiaoqiang from the sky.

Over six thousand strands of Divine Sense charged at Wang Xiaoqiang, shooting at him like rain.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled lightly, then his will moved. Instantly, five strands of Divine Sense rushed out, swirling around his head to form a Divine Sense Wheel, while Blood Qi emerged, forming Blood Crystals that swirled around his body, creating a Blood Qi Wheel, with both wheels protecting his entire body.

The dense Divine Sense fell like a sudden rainstorm, darting down, ultimately blocked by the two wheels.

Though combined, the six thousand forces, including heroes and members of the Immortal Mechanism Sect, were vast like rain, they couldn't condense into a point. Under dispersed force, any amount of Divine Sense was futile.

The myriad heroes felt helpless, while Qiu Xianji furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes, uttering lowly, "Mind Fusion Technique."

Before the word ended, all seven strands of his Divine Sense rushed out, charging at Wang Xiaoqiang, merging into one in between.

The Mind Fusion Technique could fuse Divine Sense into one for a powerful attack. Moreover, with Qiu Xianji's Seventh Mold of the Immortal, his strength was formidable. Now, seven strands of Divine Sense merged into one, shooting at Wang Xiaoqiang with immense force.

Even before the Divine Sense reached him, Wang Xiaoqiang felt great pressure, his heart jolting, his expression changing drastically, his brow lifting, causing the five whirling Divine Sense strands to change direction and confront the incoming Divine Sense.

Bang… Bang… Bang… Bang… Bang…

Five explosive sounds rang out; Wang Xiaoqiang's five strands of Divine Sense were all knocked back, the fifth strand colliding with Qiu Xianji's Divine Sense, each bouncing back. At that moment, Wang Xiaoqiang spat a mouthful of blood, and Qiu Xianji's body was also violently shaken.

"Hmm? Broken?!" Qiu Xianji stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, his eyes filled with disbelief. The strength of the Mind Fusion Technique was immense, seven strands of Divine Sense merging into one for a lethal strike. Even against the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings and higher realms, it might be unavoidable, yet Wang Xiaoqiang, a small cultivator in the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings, managed to block it.

What he didn't know was that Wang Xiaoqiang's five strands of Divine Sense carried an Aura of Sorrowful Death, their power beyond the ordinary. Moreover, he wasn't attacking but defending; the five strands formed five layers of defense, so blocking this strike was normal.

"Kid, let's see how many strikes you can block?" Qiu Xianji sneered coldly, seemingly determined to take Wang Xiaoqiang down. Wang Xiaoqiang, though having blocked one strike, based on his blood-spitting performance, appeared to be under significant strain and possibly injured. He needed only exert effort in another strike or two, leaving Wang Xiaoqiang utterly powerless.

"Bring it on." Wang Xiaoqiang said, raising his brows, then immediately condensed five strands of Divine Sense into a line, intending to block.

"Die now." Qiu Xianji coldly exclaimed, immediately merging his seven strands of Divine Sense into one again, shooting at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed coldly, staring at the incoming Divine Sense, his brow lifting, and five strands of Divine Sense confronting it.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…

This time, all five strands of Divine Sense were shaken away by the fused Divine Sense, which then continued its downward thrust, shooting at Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang vibrated his arms, immediately Blood Qi erupted, forming a small Protective Shield in front of him. Though small, the shield had some thickness.

Next moment…

The Divine Sense shot at the shield; although the Blood Qi shield had an inherent weakness in defending against Divine Sense, the power had significantly weakened after the five strands' defenses.

Finally, at the moment of impact, there was a boom, and both exploded, dispersing Blood Qi, with the seven strands of Divine Sense scattered.

Wang Xiaoqiang spat blood again, and Qiu Xianji's body shook violently, his lips similarly spilling blood.

Clearly, both were heavily impacted and even injured.

"Again." Qiu Xianji's eyes turned blood-red, his face like a sharp blade, revealing a hint of fierceness. After a cold shout, his Divine Sense fused into one again, focused to a point, and shot quickly, aiming at Wang Xiaoqiang once more.

After enduring two attacks, Wang Xiaoqiang was indeed greatly injured. His hair flew, his face cold, his eyes red with fierceness and stubbornness, without dodging or retreating. With a thought, three Dead Spirit Puppets instantly blocked in front of him.

Simultaneously, his five strands of Divine Sense stacked into a line, blocking in front of him, his entire body's Blood Qi condensing into an arrow...

At this moment,

Between heaven and earth, there was silence.

Everyone held their breath.

Qiu Xianji's Divine Sense condensed into a point fell determinedly, shooting at Wang Xiaoqiang, and the three Dead Spirit Puppets in front all emitted eerie Red Light. The Red Light condensed into a line, gathering into a point, confronting the Divine Sense.

Next moment…

Boom!

A loud sound erupted,

The eerie Red Light collided with the Divine Sense, the Red Light scattered in disarray, but the Divine Sense's momentum didn't waver, continuing its downward shot.

Next moment,

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…

The Divine Sense collided with Wang Xiaoqiang's five strands of Divine Sense one by one, ultimately all his Divine Senses were broken, Qiu Xianji's Divine Sense power weakened again.

Next moment, the Divine Sense collided with Wang Xiaoqiang's Blood Qi Arrow, or more accurately with the arrowhead.

Boom~~

Under the collision, a thunderous roar echoed as both exploded, scattering the Blood Qi Arrow and the seven strands of Divine Sense again.

At the same time, both Wang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Xianji's bodies shook violently, with each simultaneously spitting three mouthfuls of blood.
