Spiritual power surged around him, stirring up a turbulent wind filled with countless blades, dense as feathers, shining brightly yet containing killing intent.
Wind-Riding Feather Transformation Art!
Gu Family’s superior Taoist skill.
This wind-based spell is incredibly powerful but requires operating the spell formula to accumulate massive spiritual power.
Until now, Gu Changhuai had not had the opportunity to use it in battle.
But now, Xiao Zhenhai failed in his combat with Mo Hua’s pupil technique, his Divine Sense damaged, Evil Qi rebounding, tipping on the edge of losing control, providing Gu Changhuai the only chance to use this Taoist skill.
Majestic wind-system spiritual power converged.
After a few breaths, Gu Family’s superior Taoist skill Wind-Riding Feather Transformation Art was realized.
Gu Changhuai’s gaze was indifferent as he pointed forward, and the wind blades around him, like the wings of a green luan, suddenly fluttered, turning into a raging gale rushing towards Xiao Zhenhai.
Xiao Zhenhai’s Divine Soul suffered sword punishment, on the brink of collapse, but could vaguely sense mortal danger, instinctively dodging aside, trying to escape this lethal move.
At this moment, Xia Canonical Official awoke too, seeing Xiao Zhenhai attempting to dodge, she endured the severe pain in her Divine Sense, infused spiritual power into her short sword, using Sword Controlling Method to condense icy sword light and attacked Xiao Zhenhai.
Her swordsmanship was known for its perilous speed and efficiency.
Now she struck swiftly, directly piercing Xiao Zhenhai’s chest, ice-system spiritual power spread, instantly freezing Xiao Zhenhai’s heart arteries.
Xiao Zhenhai’s movements were frozen.
Almost simultaneously, the strong wind blade formed by the Wind-Riding Feather Transformation Art, like a green luan flapping its wings, whistled towards him.
Countless tiny wind blades directly engulfed Xiao Zhenhai, slicing his flesh bit by bit.
The intense spiritual power fluctuation forced Mo Hua and others to retreat quickly.
As the dust settled.
Xiao Zhenhai, akin to being flayed, was bloodied all over, his meridians severed.
Near death, dispirited and muddle-headed, Xiao Zhenhai took a last look at Mo Hua, wanting to speak but unable to articulate.
His eyes were filled with anger and reluctance.
All his life, he hid in the shadows, preparing for any eventuality.
But by misstepping once, overlooking once, he doomed his life...
Xiao Zhenhai’s heart burned with anger, spat blood, and then died.
This time, he was truly dead.
Almost exhausted to their last drop, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Changhuai’s spiritual power was nearly depleted, and Xia Canonical Official wasn’t any better off.
Yet they looked towards Mo Hua first, concerned.
Gu Changhuai said: "Are you okay?"
Mo Hua wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his eyes, shook his head, and said: "I’m fine."
However, when saying this, Mo Hua’s complexion was somewhat pale.
He had clashed fiercely with Xiao Zhenhai using the pupil technique, though he won, he suffered some backlash.
The methods of the Divine Soul always hurt a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of oneself.
Mo Hua’s Divine Soul was strong, but his flesh was weak.
Using pupil technique through the eye acupoint, performing Soul-Shocking Sword Skill, usually it was alright, but once engaged in battle with a formidable enemy, the burden on both eyes was greater than Mo Hua had anticipated.
Moreover, Mo Hua felt his Divine Soul had also sustained some damage.
This injury wasn’t solely due to the kill-strike with Xiao Zhenhai using pupil technique.
It was connected to fighting the Big White, lacking enough rest, and then using the Soul-Shocking Sword twice consecutively in Dragon King Temple, which accumulated the damage to his Divine Soul, aggravating the injury, bursting forth during the fierce battle with Golden Core Realm Xiao Zhenhai...
Beside him, Xia Canonical Official caught a breath and thought deeply, becoming increasingly puzzled.
How was Xiao Zhenhai’s pupil technique broken?
Why did his consciousness abruptly verge on collapse, providing an opportunity for herself and others?
Why did Mo Hua’s eyes bleed?
What exactly did he do...
Xia Canonical Official looked quietly at Mo Hua, wanting to ask more, "Mo Hua..."
Gu Changhuai interrupted: "This place isn’t safe for long. Let’s get out first."
Xia Canonical Official paused and nodded.
The situation was indeed special, not the right time for conversation.
She had no choice but to keep her doubts at heart and stop pressing for now.
After rounds of fierce battles, not only Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official, but also Ouyang Feng, Hua Qianqian, and Xiao Tianquan, were almost drained of their spiritual power.
Before the gate, wreckage was scattered everywhere.
