Chapter 642: Chapter 229: Battle of Cultivators (Part 3)

Obviously, this defense artifact is quite remarkable.

If it’s not shattered, Lin Zheyu simply can’t get close to Wo Yi.

Crack... crackle...

The cracks on the Profound Turtle Shield increased, and Wo Yi’s expression was extremely ugly.

"Damn it!"

Wo Yi’s face changed.

He gritted his teeth, lightly patted the storage bag, and suddenly, a black needle appeared in his hand.

"I didn’t intend to kill you so soon..."

Wo Yi sneered.

He originally planned to spare Lin Zheyu’s life, interrogate him about the secrets of shamanism or even the hidden treasures, and then hand him over to Mr. Fan for a favor.

Unexpectedly, this guy was so difficult to deal with, his strength was even more formidable than anticipated, forcing Wo Yi to abandon the idea of capturing him alive.

After returning, he would find someone to buy a death artifact to summon the soul for questioning.

Hiss—

Wo Yi coldly smiled, flicked his right hand, and the black long needle hissed as it flew towards Lin Zheyu.

"Damn it!"

"Why does this guy have so many magical artifacts!"

In the perception field, the sudden appearance of the long needle made Lin Zheyu’s complexion change once again.

Damn, as a man, can’t we just have a straightforward fight, a bare-knuckles brawl between men!

If Luo Manghan knew Lin Zheyu’s thoughts, he would undoubtedly agree wholeheartedly.

Back at Wuji Manor, during his battle with Lin Zheyu, Luo Manghan thought the same way.

Whoosh—

The speed of the black long needle was faster and more difficult to defend against than the Colorful Star Sword.

Lin Zheyu, caught off guard, was struck by the needle in the chest.

He wanted to dodge, but it was too late, so he quickly extended his left hand, grabbing fiercely at the black needle.

The needle pierced through his palm, and Lin Zheyu exerted force with his left hand, redirecting the needle’s path.

As it shot past, it grazed by Lin Zheyu’s ear.

"Hiss—"

"What a strange magical artifact!"

Lin Zheyu was extremely startled in his heart.

That was close; if the needle had pierced his chest just now, he feared he would have been finished here.

The left hand that the black needle passed through quickly turned black, the blackness spreading upwards along his arm, making Lin Zheyu’s entire arm feel numb.

He controlled his True Essence, madly surging it into his left hand.

But the moment True Essence entered his arm, its flow slowed, changing from a galloping horse to a sluggish snail.

"Finish him!"

"Once he’s dead, you can recover with Source Power."

Lin Zheyu gritted his teeth, ignoring his left hand that had lost sensation.

A hint of madness and ferocity was revealed in his expression, the Blood-Burning True Intent fully ignited, causing all his blood to boil.

In an instant, the grayish True Essence was tinged with a blood-like crimson.

Boom!

Lin Zheyu’s speed soared once more, rocketing to an astonishing level over five times the speed of sound.

After reaching the Transforming Force stage, the primary source of increased strength was the gradual accumulation and condensation of increasingly dense True Essence through prolonged cultivation.

The Blood Burning Saber Skill at this level wasn’t much effective anymore; its enhancement wasn’t as evident as during the Bone Marrow Refining Realm stage.

But now, Lin Zheyu had no choice but to give it his all.

He didn’t know what other tricks his opponent might have; if there were more artifacts like that black needle, he would be in serious trouble.

"He actually dodged it!"

Wo Yi was surprised that Lin Zheyu managed to evade even that.

However, a cold smile once again appeared at the corner of his mouth as another black long needle appeared in his hand.

This type of needle was bought from Mr. Fan, with immense power, but there were only three.

Wo Yi had intended to save them for emergencies or powerful opponents, but now they were being used on Lin Zheyu.

Hiss—

The needle flew out again, piercing through the air, aiming for Lin Zheyu’s forehead.

Lin Zheyu slightly tilted his head, dodging the needle’s attack, and slashed down with the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade in his hand.

Accompanied by blood-colored thunderlight, its brilliance reached an extreme, even causing Wo Yi to feel a shiver.

"Not good!"

Wo Yi’s expression changed drastically, quickly controlling the Profound Turtle Shield to block in front of him while retreating.

Clang—

Crack— Boom—

The saber light struck the Profound Turtle Shield, and finally, the shield couldn’t hold on any longer, shattering with a loud bang, scattering countless artifact fragments in all directions.

"Finally broke it!"

Lin Zheyu felt a sense of relief.

What he feared the most was that even after using the Blood Burning Saber Skill, he wouldn’t be able to break through the opponent’s artifact defense, which would be dangerous.

The Blood Burning Saber Skill burned Life Essence fiercely, and if delayed any longer, it would be enough to burn himself out.

Whoosh—

The Colorful Star Sword, under Wo Yi’s control, finally caught up, aiming for the back of Lin Zheyu’s head.

Lin Zheyu showed no reaction to the approaching sword and moved his feet, rushing out at an even faster speed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade continued to slash, avoiding Wo Yi’s vital spots. Amidst his screams, Wo Yi’s entire body turned into a human stick, falling to the ground.

Ah!!!

Wo Yi let out a piercing scream.

The intense pain and shock made him unable to concentrate on controlling the Colorful Star Sword, causing the sword to fall, sticking into the ground not far behind Lin Zheyu.

Bang—

Lin Zheyu punched Wo Yi in the forehead, the dull strike instantly knocking him out.

Huff~

Huff huff~~

Lin Zheyu panted heavily, his chest rising and falling.

The fight with Wo Yi was the toughest battle he had encountered so far.

Wo Yi’s own strength wasn’t that strong, but relying on magical treasures, he could unleash great power.

"I can’t stay here long; better handle the body quickly."

Lin Zheyu caught his breath several times, not daring to linger in this place for too long.

He picked up Wo Yi, who had become a human stick, gathered the Colorful Star Sword from the ground, and turned to enter the Demon God Barrier.
