Chapter 173: Blood Spilled Across the Sky
Chapter 173: Blood Spilled Across the Sky
Before entering the Nine-Curved Path, Gu Peng had already overestimated the Evil Buddha’s strength as much as possible. Yet, he was confident that with his innate Grandmaster realm cultivation, he could retreat gracefully even if he couldn’t defeat the foe.
But now...
Gu Peng realized how naive his thoughts had been.
The Evil Buddha’s power was far beyond what an innate Grandmaster could comprehend.
The transformed Evil Buddha made even an innate Grandmaster as insignificant as an ant.
"Stand back!"
Gu Qingfeng took a step into the air, his vast true qi and bloodline power erupting like a radiant sun illuminating the void. All the cold and eerie auras dissipated instantly.
He threw a punch.
Sun and Moon United!
This was the first move of the Sun and Moon Fist Manual. But as a top-tier Grandmaster technique, combined with Gu Qingfeng’s current Ultimate Grandmaster strength, even just the first move unleashed a shocking force.
The space around Gu Qingfeng’s fist warped and trembled.
When the Evil Buddha’s palm descended, the two forces collided, sending rolling waves of energy sweeping through the heavens and the earth.
"Boom—"
Gu Qingfeng, who had been floating in the air, was directly thrown down.
In an instant, dust and smoke rose everywhere.
This scene caused Gu Peng’s face to change drastically.
"Old Patriarch..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the dust settled, and Gu Qingfeng stood on the ground. The area around him, a radius of ten zhang, had sunken in over a zhang, forming a terrifying pit.
"It seems I need to use some more advanced techniques to truly challenge you!"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Evil Buddha sitting in the air, meeting its blood-teared eyes. He smiled faintly.
But this smile was particularly sinister and terrifying.
That strike had been a mere test of the Evil Buddha’s strength.
The result was clear.
The Evil Buddha’s power was far more formidable than the so-called Transformation Realm or Martial Grandmaster. Even among the Catastrophe-level evil spirits, the Evil Buddha was a true apex existence.
Even with Gu Qingfeng’s current Ultimate Grandmaster foundation, a normal confrontation would be extremely difficult.
However—
This referred only to a normal battle.
After witnessing the Evil Buddha’s strength, Gu Qingfeng held nothing back. He activated his two Heavenly Veins, gathering the might of heaven and earth around him. His already scorching bloodline energy now surged to the heavens.
A blazing sun hung in the sky.
His bloodline energy shone like a rainbow!
Gu Qingfeng stepped and shattered the earth, his entire body rising as he charged directly at the Evil Buddha.
...
Boom!
Rumble!!
Above the ancient city, two terrifying forces erupted and ravaged the surroundings. The immense sound waves were not only heard within the Nine-Curved Path but also clearly outside it.
Many people looked toward the Nine-Curved Path, seeing a radiant sun illuminating the void, shining alongside the original sun, creating a stunning spectacle of two suns in the sky.
Then, some saw a blood-stained Buddha sitting in the air beneath the sun, with eerie chants faintly echoing, like the wails of hellish ghosts, making their hearts shudder.
"That’s the Evil Buddha of the Nine-Curved Path!"
"Who could be battling the Evil Buddha!"
"Hiss—"
Many martial artists were shocked.
The existence of the Evil Buddha was no secret to many.
The Evil Buddha of the Nine-Curved Path was terrifying, having wiped out all life within the path and ensnared all the strong ones who entered. Whether they were from the Evil Suppression Bureau or the top cultivators of various sects, once they entered the Nine-Curved Path, they never returned.
They had a deep understanding of the terrifying power of the Malevolent Enlightened One.
But.
Now, a mysterious powerhouse had delved deep into the Nine-Curves Path to battle the Malevolent Enlightened One, which couldn't help but shock them.
However, soon.
Someone murmured, "In the entire Green Sun Prefecture, who else besides the one from Green Manor could have the Authority to enter the Nine-Curves Path and face the Malevolent Enlightened One!"
Upon hearing this.
The others were taken aback, but then they also became resigned.
Indeed.
In the entire Green Sun Prefecture, who else had the Authority to battle the Malevolent Enlightened One of the Nine-Curves Path?
The only one capable of this was the Overlord Blade.
"He is said to have martial arts cultivation that surpasses the ordinary, rivaling the Martial Founder of ten thousand years ago. Now it seems the rumors are true!"
A martial artist, looking at the terrifying aura like the blazing sun, had a mix of shock and unbridled desire in his eyes.
This is what we martial artists strive for!
Some martial artists from outside, who had heard of Quincy Greenwood's reputation and came to witness it, also wore expressions of shock when they saw the terrifying fluctuations from the Nine-Curves Path.
Martial Arts Sage!
Truly deserving of the name!
---
Boom!
Suppress!
Fully suppress!
Quincy Greenwood activated his two celestial meridians, pushing his strength to the limit. The Solar Lunar Fist Scripture in his hands displayed a terrifying power far surpassing its original founder.
Solar Lunar Conjunction!
Mountain River Devastation!
Heaven Earth Obliteration!
These three techniques from the Solar Lunar Fist Scripture all contained the power to shatter mountains and break rivers.
Even with the Malevolent Enlightened One's formidable strength, he was now on the defensive, his golden body cracking and bleeding, completely overpowered by Quincy Greenwood's onslaught.
"Boom—"
Quincy Greenwood unleashed another punch, and the destructive force exploded, directly destroying one of the Malevolent Enlightened One's hands.
Flesh and blood burst apart.
Bones turned to powder.
The intense pain from his physical body made the Malevolent Enlightened One let out a painful roar, and more bizarre and cold forces surged like a tide, with countless souls of those he had slain seeming to crawl out of hell.
"Bring the blade!"
Quincy Greenwood's expression was cold as he shouted.
Upon hearing this, the Evil Vanquishing Blade in Gu Peng's hand responded to some unseen call, breaking free from its sheath and transforming into a blood-red streak of light that landed in Quincy Greenwood's hand.
The moment he grasped the hilt.
Quincy Greenwood's entire aura changed dramatically.
The celestial meridians were activated.
His qi and blood flowed like a torrent.
The Overlord Blade's true essence, honed from slaying countless strong opponents, instantly reached its peak.
"Slash!"
Quincy Greenwood uttered a single word, and the Evil Vanquishing Blade descended with a thunderous force.
Boom—
The blood-red blade aura sliced through space, and wherever its power reached, dark web-like cracks appeared. All the souls and bizarre cold forces were instantly dispersed by this blade.
"Roar!"
The Malevolent Enlightened One's eyes streamed with blood, and his remaining hand reached out to grab the blood-red blade aura.
In the next moment.
His hand shattered.
The blood-red blade aura continued its momentum, slicing through the Malevolent Enlightened One's body and leaving a trail that stretched for a hundred miles, lingering for a long time.
---
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
...
The entire Nine-Curves Path fell into a strange silence for a few breaths, and then a blood-red blade mark suddenly appeared on the body of the Malevolent Enlightened One, who was seated in the void.
As time passed.
This blade mark expanded visibly.
In no time, it had cut through the entire body of the Malevolent Enlightened One.
Immediately after.
The Malevolent Enlightened One's body split in two, blood raining down from the sky.
