790: Chapter 232_3 790: Chapter 232_3 The next moment, the dragon and tiger shadows shattered, and the first golden light was broken through.
But after the first golden light was broken, there was still the second layer of protective golden light.
When the second layer was penetrated, there was yet a third layer of protective radiance.
At the very end of all the protective lights was a black and white glow.
His flying knife, after consecutively breaking through the previous nine defenses, hit upon the black and white light, its power greatly diminished.
As the black and white light rotated, the flying knife fell to the ground with a light clang.
The Ultimate Blade Protector was completely dumbfounded.
He was a being of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and even among those he was a formidable presence.
He struck with the element of surprise, under the situation of being prepared against the unprepared, yet how could the enemy have potentially blocked his hurried attack!
That was just a Golden Core Sixth Layer, how could that be possible!
He still…
Suddenly, he took notice of the exotic pill floating above the opponent’s head, and a name forcefully surfaced in his mind.
“Cao Zhen, you are Cao Zhen from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty!”
Indeed, their sect from Jinxi Island seldom interacted with the Immortal Sects in the South Ocean, but they were closer to the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and therefore knew much more about it than the numerous sects in the South Ocean.
He especially knew about the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Immortal Martial Contest and that the champion was Cao Zhen—a reincarnated individual of great ability who, despite being only at the Sixth Layer of Golden Core, had defeated a host of prodigious masters from the dynasty.
It was said that Cao Zhen possessed a unique exotic pill.
Moreover, he could think of no one else but Cao Zhen who could have withstood his attack at the Golden Core’s Sixth Layer.
Cao Zhen!
How did he end up facing Cao Zhen!
In an instant, the Ultimate Blade Protector lost all intention to fight and turned to flee.
Indeed, he was aware of the untold dangers outside, not knowing how many skeletons and wronged souls there were, but inside was even more dangerous.
Staying inside would inevitably lead to being killed by Cao Zhen.
Although he was indeed strong among those at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, he knew he was not the most pinnacle of existences.
He could not possibly withstand Cao Zhen, not to mention, were Cao Zhen’s disciples there as well?
After all, there were several beautiful female cultivators here.
It was rumored that among Cao Zhen’s disciples, there were three beautiful female cultivators!
He could only run, and once out, with his cultivation base, he might quickly find another cave, offering a glimmer of hope for survival.
But he had barely turned around.
All around, the scorching breath surged over with the cry of the Vermilion Bird echoing at the same time.
In the cave, the image of a Vermilion Bird suddenly emerged, its fiercely violent and brutal aura sweeping through, filling the entire cave.
As the cry of the Vermilion Bird rang out, a Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird, formed of flames, appeared.
Even though the Flame Vermilion Bird only appeared in the cave, the crimson flames shone out from the cave, dyeing the world outside red.
Endless flames swept in, igniting the walls around the cave.
The next moment, his two disciples at his side were enveloped in flames, and under the intense heat, instantly turned into two huge fireballs, their flesh and bones all igniting fiercely.
Almost at the same time, Yan Yourong already slashed down with her sword!
In an instant, a boundless sword energy swept towards him.
As the long sword moved, the continuous sonic booms it produced from friction with the air echoed around, the sound so loud it seemed as if the cave might be completely cleaved in two by the strike!
Chen Yexian, who was in the back, watched this strike, a sense of illusion emerging in her heart that seemed to imply that in this world, there was no one, no divine weapon, no towering mountain that could withstand this blow!
She felt as if this strike could slash through all things in the world, filled with an overbearing will to sweep everything away.
She even saw that after the strike was swung, a crack seemed to appear in the dark night outside the cave.
He even felt that under this strike, the entire world seemed to be cleaved in two.
A sword fell as if the Milky Way in the dark night sky was tumbling down, this was one strike, but also not just a strike, filled with flames that could burn everything, a sharp edge that could cut through all, and the unrestrained flood of a river breaking its banks…
A brilliant blade light, flickering with the power of the Five Elements, slashed across horizontally!
The Ultimate Blade Protector, facing this terrifying strike that seemed to be the one to determine their fate and life or death, was utterly terrified!
This must be Cao Zhen’s Second Disciple, he had heard the rumor that Cao Zhen’s Second Disciple only knew one strike, an unstoppable one.
However, witnessing this strike, he found it to be far more terrifying than the rumors suggested.
Just after he made his move, his opponent had also acted.
Now he simply didn’t have enough time to gather all his mana to counter this strike, and he could only hastily raise his twin blades in defense.
In a matter of moments, the strike descended.
Suddenly, an irresistible force, as substantial as mountains and lands, yet swift like a raging torrent, came crashing down, forcing his two long blades apart.
His defenses completely exposed to the strike.
The next moment, the sword strike slammed heavily onto his body.
Under this ferocious strike, the Ultimate Blade Protector’s body split in two.
