The calm at the center of the battlefield was suddenly broken. Qin Tian moved first, a flash of lightning shining under his feet. Pale purple lightning spread out like a spiderweb, accompanied by crisp crackling sounds. His figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, crossing dozens of meters in an instant and appearing before the Man in White.The black frost blade in his hand gleamed with a cold light, its blade wrapped in dense lightning-elemental spiritual energy. Qin Tian exerted force with his wrist, and the long blade cut down with a whooshing sound, leaving a brilliant lightning trace as it sliced through the air.Heavenly Execution Nine Strikes — Thunderous Slash!The Man in White's eyes flickered, but he showed no panic. He brought his right hand together like a sword, and a pale green spiritual energy condensed at his fingertips. A half-meter-long green sword qi instantly formed, blocking the lightning blade."Clang!"The deafening clang of metal on metal echoed. The moment the lightning blade and sword qi collided, pale purple lightning and green spiritual energy erupted simultaneously, forming a circular airwave that spread outwards.Qin Tian's pupils suddenly contracted. Since the black frost blade awakened its blade soul, its sharpness had long surpassed ordinary spiritual weapons. Even against the defense of a peak sixth-rank, it could easily cleave through. Yet, at this moment, it was blocked by the sword qi condensed from the Man in White's physical body, unable to advance even an inch!"Such strong physical body and spiritual energy control!" Qin Tian was secretly alarmed. Lightning flashed under his feet again, and his figure retreated rapidly like a ghost. Then, using the power of space, his figure suddenly vanished from his original spot.The Man in White raised an eyebrow slightly, just about to search for Qin Tian's whereabouts, when a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared behind him.He turned sharply, only to see Qin Tian's figure emerge from the void, the black frost blade bringing a cold light directly towards his neck, moving at extreme speed!"Heh." The Man in White chuckled lightly, not dodging or evading. A layer of green light suddenly appeared on his back, and a green sword qi flew out of thin air, as if it had eyes, aiming directly for Qin Tian's head.The sharpness of the sword qi made Qin Tian's scalp tingle. He knew the power contained in this sword qi was enough to severely injure him. Not daring to take it head-on, he could only forcefully twist his body, using spatial flicker to teleport again, barely avoiding the sword qi.The sword qi grazed Qin Tian's shoulder, striking the Water Curtain Barrier in the distance, emitting a soft "buzz" sound. Ripples appeared on the barrier's surface, but it was not broken.The Man in White looked at Qin Tian's re-emerged figure, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, his tone carrying a hint of understanding: "So it's spatial ability. No wonder you could evade my perception."Although he had sensed that Qin Tian's aura was not simple before, he hadn't expected the other party to possess such exquisite spatial secret arts.Qin Tian's gaze became even more solemn, knowing that ordinary attacks would be difficult to pose a threat to the Man in White.His eyes suddenly moved, without any extra actions, yet a layer of black ripples suddenly appeared in the air around the Man in White. The next second, the scorching Devouring Soul Flame appeared on the Man in White's shoulder without warning. The black flame, like a living creature, was about to spread along his clothes when a dense layer of green light suddenly illuminated around the Man in White.The green light, like a flowing shield, instantly enveloped his entire body. The moment it touched the black flame, it erupted with a soft yet extremely penetrating spiritual energy fluctuation.In just a few breaths, the Devouring Soul Flame that had been wrapped around his shoulder was completely annihilated by the green light, not even a spark remaining, as if it had never appeared."This—" Qin Tian's heart sank completely. Devouring Soul Flame was one of his trump cards, able to be activated without close proximity, and once attached, it was difficult to remove. Even against a peak sixth-rank expert, it could produce miraculous effects, yet in front of the Man in White, it was dissolved so easily.He finally realized that the Man in White before him was by no means an ordinary seventh-rank Spiritual Energy User. His spiritual energy control and defensive capabilities had probably reached the mid-seventh rank, or even higher, and his bloodline ability was definitely extraordinary.The Man in White looked at Qin Tian's solemn expression and said indifferently: "Is that all you've got? If these are your only methods, you won't be able to protect Dongfang Mingyue today."Before his words finished, the green spiritual energy around the Man in White suddenly surged. Countless tiny sword qi condensed and formed around him. Although these sword qi were only finger-length, they exuded a heart-palpitating sharpness. As they floated in the air, they resembled dense bee stings, shimmering with a cold green light."Go."The Man in White uttered a single word indifferently, then waved his large hand fiercely.In an instant, thousands of tiny sword qi, like a breaching river, swept towards Qin Tian. The sword qi emitted a "buzzing" shriek as they moved, even tearing the air to shreds.Qin Tian's expression changed drastically. Lightning and spatial fluctuations erupted simultaneously under his feet, and his figure dodged like a ghost within the river of sword qi. He would teleport to the left, then retreat rapidly backward, even temporarily hiding his figure using spatial flicker. However, those sword qi, as if alive, always followed his trajectory closely, even predicting his position after a spatial flicker. Several sword qi grazed his clothes, leaving deep gouges on the ground."You can't escape." The Man in White curled his lips into a cold smile, again activating spiritual energy at his fingertips. The speed of the sword qi river increased by several points, compressing Qin Tian's dodging space to the extreme.101 Read Books, Chasing Artifacts, 101, 101kanshu.com Read anytime, full manual, no error station.Qin Tian knew that if this continued, he would eventually be caught by the sword qi.He took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. The lightning-elemental spiritual energy and spatial power around him suddenly converged, instead condensing into a pale purple spiritual energy shield, enveloping himself.At the same time, his Holy Body power was also operating to its maximum, a layer of brilliant golden light appearing on his skin. He was going to resist this move head-on!"Bang!"The river of sword qi instantly slammed into the spiritual energy shield. Countless tiny sword qi rained down on the shield, and the pale purple shield instantly developed dense cracks.In just a few breaths, with a crisp "crack" sound, the spiritual energy shield completely shattered, and the remaining sword qi fell onto Qin Tian's body without any obstruction."Pfft! Pfft!"Piercing sounds rang out one after another. Qin Tian's clothes were instantly torn, and countless sword qi penetrated his body, leaving dense blood holes on him. Blood gushed out like a fountain, flowing down his body and pooling on the ground.More critically, two sword qi accurately pierced his eyes. Blood flowed down from the corners of his eyes, instantly plunging him into darkness.Even with the formidable defensive power of the Holy Body, he couldn't withstand such dense high-grade sword qi. Qin Tian's body swayed, but he still maintained an upright posture, the black frost blade held tightly in his hand, not falling."Mr. Qin Tian!"Dongfang Mingyue saw this scene from behind the vines. She suddenly covered her mouth, tears instantly gushing out, her eyes so red they almost bled.Xiao Yu held her tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, yet she didn't even have the courage to cry out loud.The bodyguards also trembled violently, their faces filled with extreme horror. This unfamiliar man in black was their only hope of survival. If he fell, with the Man in White's strength, just one move would kill all of them!Min Wenbing's hand, holding his battle blade, trembled slightly. Looking at the figure riddled with blood holes, his heart was filled with powerlessness.The Man in White looked at Qin Tian, who resembled a man made of blood, and said indifferently: "Your strength is not bad, but what a pity."Before he could finish speaking, a shocking scene suddenly occurred on the field—the blood holes on Qin Tian's body healed at a visible speed. The shattered muscles and meridians rapidly reorganized, and the pierced organs quickly recovered under the activation of the Holy Body's power.Even his blinded eyes regrew eyeballs, and the bloody color in his pupils gradually faded, returning to their usual clarity.In just a few breaths, the wounds on Qin Tian's body completely healed. Apart from his tattered, blood-stained clothes, it was as if that fatal attack had never happened.He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze once again fixed on the Man in White. There was no fear in his eyes, only an even denser fighting spirit."This—what kind of recovery is this?!"The Man in White's calm expression was finally broken, replaced by deep surprise—he had never seen anyone who could recover completely in just a few seconds after enduring his sword qi!Dongfang Mingyue watched this scene, slowly lowering the hand that had covered her mouth. The despair in her eyes was replaced by joy, but her tears flowed even more profusely!The bodyguards were also stunned, then their eyes burst forth with a light of wild joy. Their previously heavy mood instantly became invigorated. Qin Tian felt the circulation of the Holy Body's power within him, yet there was no trace of relief in his heart. He knew better than anyone how formidable the Undying Holy Body's defense was; even against a full-power strike from a peak sixth-rank, it would at most leave a shallow mark.But the Man in White's sword qi just now was able to easily penetrate the Holy Body's defense, leaving dense blood holes on him. This level of strength had exceeded his pre-battle assessment, and apprehension spread like a tide in his heart.The Man in White looked at Qin Tian's unharmed appearance, the surprise in his eyes turning to seriousness. He finally cast aside his previous contempt. "Time to get serious."The Man in White slowly raised his right hand, and a dense green light appeared at his fingertips. The spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly became violent, and the surrounding space seemed to slightly twist under this power.The Man in White slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly bent. The green light at his fingertips was no longer scattered spiritual energy, but condensed along the lines of his knuckles, gradually outlining a giant finger shadow dozens of meters high.The finger shadow was entirely green and translucent, as if carved from nine-heavens green jade. Its knuckles were distinct, and its tip exuded a sharpness that made heaven and earth tremble. The space around the finger shadow was squeezed and distorted, even light bent at this spot, as if all the spiritual energy within the entire Water Curtain Barrier was being drawn and gathered by this finger shadow.As the finger shadow floated in mid-air, a pressure that suppressed all things descended with a roar. The shattered stones on the ground uncontrollably floated upwards, and even the spiritual beasts and assassins entangled in battle in the distance subconsciously stopped, looking up at this giant finger that could obscure the sky, their eyes filled with horror.An indifferent voice echoed in the sky, carrying an unquestionable authority: "Cycle Finger."As the words fell, the Man in White's bent finger suddenly pointed out!In an instant, the dozens-of-meters-high green giant finger, like a pillar of heaven and earth being pressed down, slammed towards Qin Tian with the might of collapsing mountains and splitting seas.Wherever it passed, the air was no longer "sizzling" and burning, but directly crushed into a vacuum, leaving a visible black trajectory. The ground did not crack into shallow grooves, but into deep, bottomless giant fissures, as if the earth itself had been shattered by this one finger.Even the Water Curtain Barrier trembled violently. Ripples were no longer appearing on its surface, but spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would completely collapse the next second. The power of this move was more than ten times more terrifying than the previous river of sword qi. Just the pressure alone made it difficult for the bodyguards in the distance to breathe.Feeling the mountain-like pressure, Qin Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with determination. The dormant Holy Body power within him erupted like an awakened volcano!First, a wisp of golden light overflowed from his heart, followed by countless brilliant golden rays surging out along his meridians, instantly enveloping his entire body, dispelling some of the gloom within the entire Water Curtain Barrier. The golden light was not a thin halo, but thick and solid like molten gold, flowing with a metallic cold luster, even dyeing the air a dazzling gold.His muscles slightly bulged under the golden light, their lines becoming more upright and sharp. Every inch of his muscle seemed to have been cast with golden liquid, exuding a sense of earth-shattering power. As the Holy Body's power continuously climbed, the golden light on his body surface began to condense into armor.Scaly golden armor pieces appeared successively from his shoulders, arms, chest, and abdomen. Ancient and mysterious patterns were engraved on the armor's surface, with fragmented golden light flowing within the patterns, as if sealing fragments of the laws of heaven and earth, exuding a divine majesty that looked down on all beings.In the blink of an eye, Qin Tian was completely enveloped in golden light, his entire body dazzling with golden radiance, like a golden battle god cast from nine-heavens gold, even his hair was dyed with a faint golden glow.A terrifying pressure, far exceeding before, spread out from his body. The shattered stones on the ground uncontrollably floated up, and even the spiritual energy fluctuations of the distant battles paused.This was the ultimate form of the Holy Body, Emperor Overlord Body—all attributes increased by 500%, immune to all control and debuff effects, and each attack received could reflect 30% of the damage!At the same time, with a thought, a dark golden turtle-shell pattern energy shield appeared on his body surface. The crisscrossing turtle patterns exuded an indestructible aura—this was Turtle Shell Rebound, which could consume internal energy to form an armor shield, reflecting 40% of the damage back to the attacker, while his own defense could temporarily increase by 70%."Slash!"Qin Tian roared, and the black frost blade in his hand glowed with dense lightning-elemental spiritual energy. A several-meter-long lightning blade slashed towards the Cycle Finger.The moment the lightning blade and the green giant finger collided, the pale purple lightning glow was instantly crushed and retreated inch by inch, like ice and snow meeting scorching sun. With a crisp "crack" sound, the several-meter-long lightning blade shattered like fragile glass, and countless tiny lightning arcs scattered, yet they couldn't even scratch the surface of the green giant finger.Without the obstruction of the lightning blade, the Cycle Finger, like a falling pillar of heaven and earth, pressed down fiercely towards Qin Tian with the might of collapsing mountains and splitting seas!Qin Tian's pupils contracted. He felt a terrifying pressure rushing towards him, and his breathing became difficult. He subconsciously took half a step back, his feet digging a deep ravines into the ground. Using this brief buffer, he fiercely crossed his arms in front of him, and the golden light of his Emperor Overlord Body and the turtle-patterned shield around him simultaneously surged to their maximum. He was going to resist this fatal blow with a posture of holding up the sky!"Boom!"The green giant finger slammed down onto Qin Tian's body. The golden light and turtle-patterned shield were instantly pressed inwards, their surfaces covered with dense cracks. Immediately after, "crack, crack" bone-cracking sounds, like continuous thunderclaps, exploded in everyone's ears. Qin Tian's arm and chest bones were instantly shattered, and dark red blood gushed out from between his fingers and the corners of his mouth. His black robe was instantly soaked, and blood beads, like broken pearls, dripped down his clothes, pooling into a dazzling puddle of blood on the ground.Yet, even so, Qin Tian's spine remained perfectly straight, not bending even an inch. His body trembled slightly, each tremor accompanied by the crisp sound of bones rubbing, but he stood like a proud snow pine in frost and snow. Even if its branches were bent by ice and snow, its main trunk remained firmly rooted in the earth, stubbornly resisting the destructive Cycle Finger.That blood-stained figure, clearly severely injured to the extreme, was like an indestructible city wall, firmly standing in front of everyone, isolating all danger, not retreating a single step.In an instant, Dongfang Mingyue's tears instantly burst forth, scalding her hands. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, barely preventing a sob from escaping her throat."Bang!"The Cycle Finger's energy finally dissipated, exploding on Qin Tian's body, forming a circular airwave.Qin Tian spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and that «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» snow-pine-like figure tilted slightly, yet he still didn't fall, instead slowly straightening his spine.And just then, the Man in White's expression suddenly changed. A sharp pain came from his chest, and a mouthful of blood uncontrollably gushed out. The spiritual energy fluctuations around him instantly became chaotic. The counter-damage effect had taken hold.The Emperor Overlord Body's 30% counter-damage, plus the Turtle Shell Rebound's 40% counter-damage, a total of 70% of the damage was reflected back onto him. Even with his formidable strength, the backlash still arrived as expected."What?!"The assassins on their side saw this scene, their faces filled with disbelief, their eyes full of horror—their Lord in White, who was like a god in their hearts, was actually injured?
