Chapter 542: Inflicting Heavy Injuries on the Master of a Small World, the Blood Prison World

As the two sides drew closer, Cang Haigui's heart pounded with apprehension. He wore a solemn expression, his eyes fixed intently on Xu Yan, ready to defend even at the cost of injury if the situation turned dire.

Killing the master of a small world was no easy feat.

Moreover, how could Xu Yan not have some powerful trump cards up his sleeve to use in a life-or-death crisis?

He never underestimated his enemies, especially since Xu Yan was a master of a small world. However, Cang Haigui's defense was exceptionally strong, and with his own small world's power, he was confident that he could restrain Xu Yan when the crucial moment arrived.

As long as Xu Yan was restrained, even for a moment, it would be the best opportunity to strike him down.

Xu Yan anticipated that Xu Yan would resort to powerful secret techniques when faced with a life-or-death crisis, and he was ready with the Yuan Turtle Armor.

The armor could take Cang Haigui's place, and combined with his Yin-Yang Undying Sword, it would be enough to withstand Xu Yan's attacks!

In addition to the Yuan Turtle Armor, Fang Hao had also made preparations. In an instant, he set up an eighteen-layer defensive array, with the Burning Cloud Finger Bone at its core. With the finger bone of a World Master as the core, the array could enhance and suppress Xu Yan's attacks.

With such multiple layers of defense, even if Xu Yan unleashed his powerful secret techniques, he wouldn't be able to harm the four disciples.

Xu Yan, as the master of a small world, had his own proud trump card. However, underestimating the combat power of Xu Yan and his disciples would naturally lead to a life-or-death crisis.

A cold smile played at the corners of Xu Yan's mouth, and his eyes gleamed with murderous intent. Within his sleeves, he held a tiny, three-inch-long blood-red blade, ready to strike.

He waited for the opportune moment when Cang Haigui's defense showed the slightest crack, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Yan.

"Arrogant and overconfident, you underestimate the master of a small world," Xu Yan thought. "You think that with Cang Haigui's protection, you are infallible? With your strength, even if I don't defend myself, I'll only suffer minor injuries. But it's worth it to kill all four of you with just a minor wound."

Xu Yan's heart was filled with cold laughter as he thought of the countless battles he had endured, the injuries he had suffered, and how he would soon recover from them. But to be able to kill Xu Yan and his three disciples with just a minor injury was a worthwhile trade.

After all, the prodigies of the Tai Cang Realm were worth the price he would pay!

Rumbling filled the air as Cang Haigui's massive body began to shrink, radiating an azure light that clashed with Xu Yan's blood waves, causing them to retreat as if unable to withstand the turtle's onslaught.

However, both parties knew that the moment of victory and defeat, life and death, was fast approaching.

Buzz!

A sacred sword light hovered in the air, its tip pointed at Xu Yan, ready to strike.

Fang Hao exhaled, and the divine artifacts scattered across the battlefield began to materialize once more. The grand formation was about to be activated, with the Qimen grand formation, defensive arrays, and offensive arrays ready to be unleashed.

Meng Chong's body expanded further, and behind his head, a large sun began to rise.

In Jiang Buling's hand, the Extreme Soul Soldier exuded a fierce aura that gradually faded, as if it had completely condensed into the soul soldier, causing it to take on a somewhat illusory appearance.

Boom!

Finally, the two sides closed in on each other.

In an instant, Cang Haigui opened his mouth and spat out a beam of azure light that rushed towards Xu Yan. At that moment, a weakness appeared in Cang Haigui's defense.

Xu Yan raised his hand, and the sword light descended with overwhelming force.

Using his Holy Sword Realm, Xu Yan unleashed the Absolute Heaven Slaying Sword! This sword move, imbued with the intent to extinguish the heavens, was far more powerful than before.

Rumbling filled the air as the grand formation descended, enveloping Xu Yan. Strange patterns seemed to appear beneath Fang Hao's feet, transforming the battlefield into a strange domain.

Meng Chong raised his hand, but he did not attack immediately.

Xu Yan let out a cold laugh. The tiny blood-red blade in his hand shot out from the blood waves, a mere speck of crimson light that instantly tore through the unyielding land.

At the same time, a powerful blood light radiated from Xu Yan's body, and his aura peaked. With a wave of his hand, the blood waves swirled like a vortex, instantly engulfing Cang Haigui.

Xu Yan intended to hold Cang Haigui back for a moment. Without the turtle's protection, killing Xu Yan and his disciples would be effortless!

In an instant, Xu Yan transformed into a blood shadow and charged forward.

Xu Yan had prepared this series of moves in advance, but what shocked him was that the tiny blood blade he unleashed was dodged by Xu Yan! All that remained at the spot was Xu Yan's shadow.

At that moment, the grand formation was activated. Just as Xu Yan was about to charge out, he felt his body freeze, as if bound by countless chains.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to turn into a quagmire, and he felt as if the entire area was spinning.

"What sorcery is this?!"

Xu Yan's expression turned grim as he realized that although he could break free from these restraints instantly, he had never encountered such a technique before.

As the sword descended, Blood Maniac's scalp went numb, and a strong sense of crisis emerged, shocking him. "How could Xu Yan possibly threaten me?!"

After all, he was the master of a small world. In theory, it would be nearly impossible for a non-realm peer to injure him. Even if he stood still, those Supreme Realm warriors would struggle to harm him.

After all, the small world rules that a master possesses are not something a Supreme Realm warrior can break.

However, Xu Yan's sword could break through the small world rules surrounding him, and the intent to extinguish filled him with a sense of mortal peril.

This shock was no small matter, and Blood Maniac suddenly realized that he had long underestimated Xu Yan!

But, though startled, Blood Maniac remained calm, having experienced countless battles and faced crises before.

Buzz!

The blood blade that missed its mark shot back in an instant, aiming at Xu Yan again. But as he raised his hand to block, a viscous, blood-like force materialized in front of him.

However, at that moment, he was horrified to see Cang Haigui suddenly shift his position, standing in front of Xu Yan and blocking the blood blade's attack.

At the same time, a deep blue light like the vast ocean waves instantly struck him, restraining half of his power.

Buzz!

A massive figure shone with golden light suddenly appeared at his side. In an instant, Meng Chong had reached his flank and was about to unleash a powerful blow.

Divine Ability: Heaven Shattering Strike!

Meng Chong's all-out attack was extremely ferocious, like holding up the sky and smashing it down.

This was a powerful divine ability of the physical martial arts path.

Buzz!

As Meng Chong made his move, Blood Maniac felt a chill, and a long spear suddenly appeared before his eyes!

Wait, no!

This murderous spear wasn't something he saw with his eyes but rather sensed with his soul!

It was a soul attack!

At that moment, a strong sense of mortal danger filled Blood Maniac's mind, and he realized he had been careless. He never expected Xu Yan and the other three to unleash such terrifying destructive power and break through the small world rules surrounding him!

Boom!

An intense crimson light burst forth from Blood Maniac's body, and a series of cracking sounds echoed as Fang Hao's array binding him instantly collapsed.

Even the Qimen grand formation was breached at one corner.

Fang Hao's face turned slightly pale. Just now, by using the Qimen grand formation to swap the positions of Cang Haigui and Meng Chong, he had already exhausted all his energy. Now, the grand formation was on the verge of collapsing.

However, with a wave of his hand, the Qimen grand formation in this area instantly transformed the unchanging earth grand momentum into a restriction, falling upon the surging blood light.

The blood light paused for just a moment, but in that moment, the difference between life and death was decided!

Puff!

A sharp spear pierced Blood Maniac's soul, and a sword slashed through his body. The violent force shattered his physical form!

"Ah!"

Blood Maniac let out a miserable scream.

"You deserve to die!"

A ferocious aura blossomed within the blood light, like viscous blood transforming into a terrifying giant mouth that spat out countless blood threads, enveloping everything around it.

"Quickly get out! This is the Blood Prison World!"

Cang Haigui's expression changed, and he stood on his hind legs, his entire turtle body rising up. He swung his front flippers, and the deep blue light rushed towards the enveloping blood threads.

Blood Maniac's screams continued, and the soul-shattering pain was more than even he could bear.

At that moment, Blood Maniac was heavily injured. His physical body was destroyed, his soul pierced, and his injuries continued to spread. He immediately used the small world rules he possessed and unleashed a secret technique he had kept hidden!

"Cang Haigui, get out of here!"

Blood Maniac roared in anger.

As long as he refined and devoured Xu Yan and the others, his injuries would recover somewhat. As for Cang Haigui, he knew his limits; he couldn't injure him!

However, Blood Maniac was confident that with Cang Haigui's offensive power, he couldn't break through his Blood Prison World. Once it completely enveloped them, it would naturally exclude Cang Haigui!

The blood threads that enveloped them from all sides were like spider webs. Unless they broke through the threads, they would inevitably be entangled and wrapped up like cocoons, devoured and refined by Blood Maniac.

But these blood threads belonged to the small world rules of the master of the Blood Prison World, and it was not easy to break through them.

It was like a bloody hell, and anyone who entered would undoubtedly perish.

Even a peer of the same realm would eventually be refined and devoured if they were not careful and fell into it.

Cang Haigui's defense was exceptionally strong, so he was naturally unafraid. However, Blood Maniac's target had never been Cang Haigui, so he was confident that he could refine Xu Yan and the other three, devouring their essence and blood to recover from his injuries.

With all four of them protected by the Yuan Turtle Armor, Cang Haigui's body expanded again as he declared gravely, "Enter my Canghai Universe, and we'll wear him down to death!"

Blood Maniac was badly wounded and wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Cang Haigui was confident that his defense would be enough to exhaust him to death.

"Old Turtle, channel your power into my sword later," Xu Yan said, his expression unchanged, as a sword appeared in his hand.

Looking at the sword, Xu Yan felt a surge of emotion. Ever since he had broken through to the Holy Sword Realm, he rarely used the sword in his hand, always transforming objects into swords or using his own power as a sword.

Today, he was finally drawing his sword again!

Buzz!

The sword light rippled, and a sacred aura enveloped the sword, giving it a holy aura as if it contained a mountain river universe.

The rippling sword light seemed to contain a universe of mountains and rivers in an instant.

Xu Yan pointed the sword at the blood light, still emitting low roars and howls from Blood Maniac. Instead of breaking through the Blood Prison World, Xu Yan intended to slay Blood Maniac!

With Blood Maniac's death, the Blood Prison World would naturally collapse without any effort.

Slaying the master of a small universe was no easy feat, and if other universe masters had endured such an attack, they would have likely perished. Yet, Blood Maniac was still able to unleash such a hidden ultimate technique.

However, Xu Yan and his three disciples were not ordinary Supreme Warriors. They cultivated powerful martial arts and were Universe Warriors themselves, possessing the power of the universe, which meant they could use their own universal power to annihilate the essence of a small universe master!

This was the source of Xu Yan's confidence in being able to slay Blood Maniac.

Boom!

Xu Yan's sword seemed to contain a universe of mountains and rivers. He slapped his left hand, and a golden dragon roared and merged into the sword, faintly visible within the universe of the sword, where a golden dragon seemed to be coiling.

Above, a golden dragon roared, and below, Cang Hai held a sword, with thunderous waves appearing from the four directions. A gentle breeze blew, and this didn't seem like a sword, but rather a universe itself.

Meng Chong raised his hand and punched, and a blazing sun emerged from his fist, merging into the sword. In an instant, a blazing sun appeared in the universe within the sword.

Not only that, but Meng Chong also injected his overbearing and unmatched blade intent into the sword.

Jiang Buling condensed a spear with extreme spirit power in his hand, which also merged into the sword, causing the universe within the sword to undergo some changes.

Fang Hao waved his hand, and invisible formations, strange gates, and restrictions all merged into the sword. The universe within the sword gathered great momentum, as if the entire universe were a strange domain.

The sword trembled as if it might shatter at any moment.

"It's your turn, Old Turtle!"

Xu Yan looked at Cang Haigui.

Cang Haigui's face was filled with shock. What kind of sword art was this? Xu Yan intended to gather the power of Meng Chong, Fang Hao, Jiang Buling, and himself into this one sword strike.

How was Xu Yan able to contain different powers without them scattering and instead have them fuse and activate in an instant?

Looking at the sword in Xu Yan's hand, Cang Haigui felt as if he were gazing upon a small universe. It didn't seem like a sword, but rather a universe, or perhaps a sword universe.

Was it a universe that encompassed all powers and then transformed them into a killing sword?

Cang Haigui was deeply shaken. He looked at the surging blood waves that had enveloped them, and even amidst Blood Maniac's low roars and howls, there seemed to be a hint of relief.

Blood Maniac was undoubtedly doomed!

Cang Haigui knew that Blood Maniac, as the master of a small universe, would not be able to withstand this sword strike.

Having already suffered severe injuries, how could he withstand this sword?

After all, this sword also contained the power of Cang Haigui, the master of a small universe, along with the powerful martial arts of Xu Yan, Meng Chong, Fang Hao, and Jiang Buling. It was enough to annihilate Blood Maniac's essence!

The deep blue light, like the vast waves of the Canghai, surged into the sword, and a vast ocean appeared in the universe within the sword, with waves crashing and rolling.

Buzz!

The sword trembled and even emitted faint crackling sounds as it struggled to bear the strain.

"That's enough!"

Xu Yan said gravely.

Cang Haigui stopped channeling his power, his eyes fixed on the sword in Xu Yan's hand. At this moment, he actually felt a slight threat from the sword, despite his extremely sturdy defense.

Given that he could sense this threat even with his formidable defense, how could the badly wounded Blood Maniac possibly withstand it?

"Today, Xu Yan shall slay Blood Maniac, the master of the Blood Prison World, here!"
