Chapter 678 - Broken Head

Fa Bisheng flashed away and his followers quickly followed in confusion. At this time, they could hear the soft noises from behind them, Fa Bisheng looked back and saw Zhong Yue’s rib bones breaking away from his body.

When the two were fighting and exchanged strikes, they were both injured at the same time, But no one could take advantage over each other.

Fa Bisheng had a saber wound on his neck, and at least five of Zhong Yue’s ribs had been broken. No one would dare to say they were victorious in this exchange.

Fa Bisheng regained his gaze, he looked at Zhong Yue and thought quietly while Zhong Yue kept the saber and stood on the ground staring back at Fa Bisheng.

Then, Zhong Yue took a step and walked toward him. The light wheels turned behind his head. The totem patterns streamed out and rolled up Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou into his Yuan Shen secret realms whereas Goddess Shen Hou smiled and flew into the light wheels herself.

Zhong Yue's psyche rumbled into Fa Bisheng's mind, his voice sounded domineering as if he was the controller of Six Paths, dictating all of life and death, “The victor has yet to be decided, so why is Senior Martial Brother Fa so eager to leave?”

Fa Bisheng snorted, and the saber wound on his neck suddenly exploded again, spurting out blood like a fountain.

“Prince, you are injured and so is he. So why are we running?” A young girl caught up with him and asked, “If the prince leaves now, the other Qi Practitioners would think you are not as good as him, it will be detrimental to your reputation.”

“Yes prince, he broke at least five rib bones, and prince has only suffered from a small wound. You still have the upper hand!” Another Qi Practitioner asked as well, he didn’t understand why they were running.

When Zhong Yue and Fa Bisheng exchanged strikes in an all out battle. The skills they had cast imbued their respective attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnation. Thus, the collision had surpassed the understanding of these Qi Practitioners, only a handful could vaguely discern the outcome of the actual battle.

However, solely from the injuries they sustained, it was true that Zhong Yue appeared to have sustained heavier injuries while Fa Bisheng's injury was merely neglectable. However, despite only sustaining light injuries, Fa Bisheng was reluctant to fight again, opting to retreat.

“Is the prince worried about the lady, Jun Wudao?”

The Qi Practitioner dressed like a scholar fanned his paper fan and said, “Prince, are you worried that an all-out battle against the Blood Bone Evil God would open the chance for Jun Wudao to steal the fruit of victory? Rest assured, my prince. Jun Wudao is bold but understands bottom lines. The Realm Lord controls the Prison Realm, she wouldn’t dare to start a war with you."

Fa Bisheng’s Six Paths Wheel turned and sucked his followers into his Yuan Shen secret realms. Then, he bolted away faster and faster while saying, “But there is a winner already, I see no need for either one of us to die. I am inferior to him, so I have to go. If I don’t, my chances of dying are higher than him! Furthermore..”

The wound on his neck was seemingly healed without any scars left. But as soon as his hand was lifted way from the wound, it would immediately widen and bleed again.

Fa Bisheng's eyes thumped, the wound was not just as big as the part covered by his hand. It was actually far bigger but the other parts of the wound were suppressed by his powerful arcane energy. However, the wound left by Zhong Yue’s saber couldn’t be healed within such a short time.

The residual power from Zhong Yue’s skill still lingered in the wound, constantly devouring the life energy that tried to heal the wound. Even if he cultivated the Immortal Body, the wound would only continue to worsen.

This is where he was most worried.

Zhong Yue's psyche rumbled and he said, "Prince Fa, I am not a kind man who doesn’t fight back after getting a punch in the face. Since the battle has been started, it’s best that only one of us survives at the end of the day.”

Carrying Bai Canghai, Ma Sansou and Goddess Shen Hou in his Yuan Shen secret realms, he walked across the lake after Fa Bisheng. Due to his familiarity with the geography, the distance between them closed quickly.

Fa Bisheng stiffened up his face and sped up again, taking higher risks in exchange for time and speed. Fortunately, he had already explored the lake once and knew of many dangerous places. Allowing him to pick the best route he knew to sped away. Although not as fast as Zhong Yue, he wasn’t much slower either.

"Since Prince Fa is not willing to stand and fight, then I guess I can only a strike from a distance away!” Zhong Yue unsheathed a saber and raised it high. The Solar Divine Saber shone brightly in godly rays like a rising sun, lighting up over the land of million miles.

Zhong Yue brought the saber down in a slashing motion, and the saber and sun disappeared abruptly.

Fa Bisheng's hair fell off from the back of his head. When he saw the saber and sun disappearing from the scene, his heart pounded heavily. And arms immediately grew out from under his arms. He cast out a huge divine bell and raised it high.

The bell’s surface was engraved with various carvings, and totem patterns curled around the bell, forming nine rings around the bell body. There were also the figures of the many celestial races engraved on the bell surface, such as dragons and phoenixes.

The bell gave out a loud din and trembled violently. It was burnt red with its top melting away into golden water. Outside of the bell was a blazing sun and a saber. Then, the【Sun Burst】was unleashed and shattered the bell apart!

The divine bell was shattered into pieces and the fragments spewed out in all directions.

Fa Bisheng raised his hands and directly received the descending saber with brute force. Just as the moment when the【Sun Burst】’s power ebbed and the Solar Divine Saber disappeared, he saw a bone palm piercing out from the void.

The palm exploded into 54 small bone pieces that turned into bone spears, bone sabers, bone clubs, and bone swords; attacking Fa Bisheng from all directions!

Fa Bisheng snorted and said, "He is trying to interfere with my attention. There must be a stronger skill hidden within the bone pieces. I will fend down his divine saber, and you all will block the bones!"

The Qi Practitioners standing in the light wheels behind his head launched their attacks and defended the incoming bone pieces!

More than a dozen Qi Practitioners shuddered violently at the moment of impact, they were shocked and stunned. These bone sabers, bone spears, bone clubs, and bone swords were just parts of Zhong Yue’s palm. And it was out of their expectations that even when divided into small pieces, the bones would have such great power. Their durability was no weaker than the divine weapons; their power was on par with the divine weapons as well!

54 bone pieces stuck at the same time while the Metamagnet Divine Saber suddenly split the air apart and thrust over. When Fa Bisheng responded with all his nerves at the incoming divine saber, the 54 bone pieces suddenly reformed together and clawed into the light wheels behind his head, crushing a Qi Practitioner into a clump of dead meat.

Fa Bisheng roared and his face turned red.

On the other hand, Jun Wudao's clothes fluttered violently even when there was no breeze. She was facing the battle, but her eyes were tightly closed. She didn’t take the opportunity to assault either Zhong Yue or Fa Bisheng.

A lady beside her asked, “Senior Martial Sister Wudao, why did Prince Fa Bisheng escape without putting up a fight? Prince Fa clearly had the upper hand, only suffering from a slight wound while that Blood Bone Evil God suffered five broken ribs..”

"It isn’t just slit wound, his whole head was cut off." Jun Wudao still didn't open her eyes, her clothes were still floating, while she answered indifferently, “That saber strike was not that simple, it wasn’t just a skill. The blinding light from his saber has covered the truth from you. At the moment they clashed, the two of them both performed three moves. During the first exchange of strikes, Fa Bisheng couldn’t overcome the brute force from the slashing saber. Thus, he made the second move to cast out his Nine Revolving Inner Core to block off the saber. In response, the Blood Bone Evil God cast out his Nine Revolving Inner Core as well.”

"However, the Blood Bone Evil God’s understanding in the Six Paths Reincarnation were beyond Fa Bisheng’s. Although Fa Bisheng cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation as well, he couldn’t use the power of Reincarnation to unify the power of Six Paths. Hence, he lost to the Blood Bone Evil God’s saber. Then, during the collision of the Nine Revolving Inner Cores, his inner core still couldn’t triumph over the Blood Bone Evil God’s inner core. Then, in the third move, his head was cut off."

Jun Wudao closed her eyes and said: "It was two goldy rays that beheaded him, one a Pure Yang, and the other Pure Yin. They soared like dragons and sheared his head away with an unstoppable force. You saw Fa Bisheng covering the wound on his neck. But in truth, he was not trying to cover a wound, but trying to keep his head attached to his neck."

historical

The Qi Practitioners were all awestruck by the truth of the situation.

Beheading Fa Bisheng, a top ten cultivator of Prison Realm in three simple moves.. one could only imagine how terrifying the Blood Bone Evil God’s power was!?

"Senior Martial Sister Wudao, then are we chasing or not?" A lady whispered.

"If I am able to find a way to dispel and counter the three skills, I will chase. But if I can't, then there’s no point in chasing as I wouldn’t be able to defeat him." Jun Wudao answered while her eyes were still closed.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, her eyes are tightly closed, but she was constantly re-enacting in her mind the scene where Zhong Yue's three moves cut off Fa Bisheng's head. She put herself in Fa Bisheng’s place and seek for the way to counter Zhong Yue’s moves.

Although she was conversing with her followers, the replay of the battle played in her mind.

After a long time, Jun Wudao's clothes gradually calmed down and no longer fluttered. She abruptly opened her eyes. Two rays of light shot out from her eyes before they slowly returned to normal.

"I have found the way to counter his skill. I believe I can now deal with him." Jun Wudao set off and the light wheels turned behind his head, sucking her followers into the Six Paths Wheel as she chased after Zhong Yue and Fa Bisheng.

The reason why she didn’t keep the Qi Practitioners into the Six Paths Wheel while exploring this lake was because she needed them to scout out the dangers of this place so that she could remain safe.

Now that she had sufficiently explored, she naturally didn’t need the followers to continue taking any more risks.

Zhong Yue and Fa Bisheng were still changing strikes, while the distance between the two was steadily drawing closer. At the same time, the Qi Practitioners in the Fa Bisheng’s light wheels were killed one after another every time they clashes.

If Fa Bisheng’s followers were all dead, the next victim would then be Fa Bisheng himself.

Fa Bisheng had a heavy heart. Fortunately, it was hard to enter the lake but easy to exit. He was not far away from its edge. And as long as he escaped from the lake a step faster, he would then be able to outrun Zhong Yue.

Even now, he still had the confidence that he would make it.

Suddenly, the sky violently swayed, and he saw two godly rays flashing out, turning into a black and white Tai Chi Art that hung high in the air. As the Tai Chi Art started turning, countless saber rays and saber Qi like dragons rained down from the Tai Chi Art and struck at him!

Fa Bisheng grew desperate, and despair engulfed his heart.

A distance away from them, Jun Wudao quickly stopped and looked at this scene in utter shock.

“Senior Martial Sister Wudao, why stop?” asked the Qi Practitioners in her light wheels behind her head.

"If I can’t find a way to counter this great skill before going against Blood Bone Evil God, I may end up surviving at the end but only at the cost of a heavily wounded body.. and all of your lives.”

Jun Wudao muttered, closing his eyes again, "Blood Bone Evil God knows that I am coming, this display is only a warning. Without finding a way to counter this skill, it will impair my perfect frame of mind.”
