This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1572 - 41: On Par with the Gods (Part 2)

After a thunderous clash, Evil Venerable's imperial shadow shattered, and the Thunder Dragon also dissipated.

Evil Venerable's figure flew backward, retreating a hundred yards in the air.

This demonstrated the immense power of that recent clash.

But it wasn't just that.

Evil Venerable glanced at his right hand.

The tiger's mouth was cracked, the palm was full of blood, and even with the Divine Demon Body, it couldn't heal quickly.

Because at the wound, there was a strange Tribulation Force like a bone-attached maggot, the Yin Spirit lingering.

He was injured, and not lightly.

This was an attack augmented by the Emperor Syllable Mantra, yet Evil Venerable's physical body was still wounded, showing the power contained within the Thunder Dragon.

"Such an attack, can you possibly unleash it a third time?" Evil Venerable shook his hand nonchalantly at the injury, teasingly looking at Cang Xiu and mocking him.

He was asking knowingly.

The Lightning Guiding Needles in Jingjian City, in that recent attack, were all shattered, turned to dust.

Without the Lightning Guiding Needles, how could Cang Xiu harness the power of the Tribulation Sword?

"As people age, they become greedy. Such a treasure should be handed over to me." Evil Venerable smiled, his eyelids relaxing.

The next moment, his murderous intent erupted like a sea, his entire body boiling with Demonic Qi like a waterfall.

He burst forth, transforming into a Radiance, diving towards Cang Xiu with all his might.

Evil Venerable had played enough and was out of patience.

The true life-and-death moment arrived, leaving no room for Cang Xiu to catch his breath.

Cang Xiu was unafraid, letting out a long roar, releasing his own strongest momentum.

One Sword Qi after another burst out from the apertures of his body, radiating light through the sky, cutting across the long sky.

Swish, swish, swish!

All the Sword Qi surged towards the sky, exceptionally dazzling.

Before Evil Venerable approached Cang Xiu, he was engulfed by the endless Sword Qi.

Yet he was fearless and undaunted, choosing not to dodge but to withstand the Sword Qi with his physical body!

Clang, clang, clang!

The clash between the Sword Qi and Evil Venerable's physical body produced sparks, leaving bloody marks.

But within a single breath, these bloody marks healed.

The Indestructible Demon Body truly had the appearance of immortality!

"Destroy!"

With a shout, Evil Venerable raised his hand to strike, no longer using his fist but forming a claw, incredibly sharp, aiming to capture and kill Cang Xiu!

This claw was incomparably fierce, its power beyond imagination!

"Fledgling Phoenix!" Cang Xiu roared angrily, swept his right leg, and a fiery wave spewed forth, turning into a Phoenix Rune across the sky, fully erupting!

The Pseudo Dao Sword refined into his right leg was made from Phoenix Wood!

"Oh?" Evil Venerable was slightly startled, as the claw and Cang Xiu's right leg collided.

The Element Force and Demonic Qi between them fused, fluctuating violently.

Cang Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembling violently, retreating backward.

The disparity in strength was clear, even with his Hidden Artifact Divine Skills, he couldn't bridge this gap—without these skills, Cang Xiu would have died countless times.

In fact, without the support of the Hidden Artifact Divine Skills, Cang Xiu's combat power was only about the same as Qian Venerable, approximately having twenty-five times Ninth Grade combat power.

Evil Venerable, seeing Cang Xiu heavily injured and unrelenting, once again aimed his left palm at Cang Xiu.

This palm weighed over ten thousand pounds, capable of turning a mountain peak into dust. More terrifyingly, strong symbols appeared on his palm, granting it even greater power.

This was a mortal strike.

"This can end now!" Evil Venerable sneered.

Boom!

The unavoidable palm landed on Cang Xiu's chest.

Suddenly, Cang Xiu's chest lit up, with a blazing light rising, sharpness permeating.

With a clang, Evil Venerable's palm, as if striking an iron wall, was bounced back.

"Exquisite!"

Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart!

An aperture was born within Cang Xiu's heart.

In this aperture, he had melted in the Exquisite Pseudo Dao Sword forged by Su Xiu, using it as a Heart-Protecting Sword, erupting origin power at a crucial moment to dispel the power of this strike.

Even so, Cang Xiu still groaned, staggered back, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, suffering serious injuries.

"Let's see how many more Magic Artifacts you have?" Having fought until now, Evil Venerable had a rough understanding of Cang Xiu's Hidden Artifact Divine Skills, and was unfazed, speaking harshly.

In truth, he still harbored some fear towards Cang Xiu's family skills.

Solely relying on these skills, Cang Xiu managed to battle him this far with twenty-five times Ninth Grade combat power, showing the strength of the Hidden Artifacts.

It was fortunate that Cang Xiu's cultivation was limited, or else he might be the one at a disadvantage today, needing to rely on overwhelming numbers to crush Cang Xiu.

Cang Xiu panted heavily, barely holding on.

Even though his body was refined to rival human weapons, he was now covered in blood, with his shoulders and thighs already in tatters, a truly tragic sight.

"I wonder how Yu'er and Little Sword are doing...." Deep inside, he was unwilling, unsure if his wife and daughter were out of danger.

........

The Land of Heavenly Punishment was located right behind Jingjian City, hence from this position, one could witness the fierce battle between Cang Xiu and Evil Venerable above Jingjian City clearly.

Anyone could see that Cang Xiu was at his wits' end, unable to hold on for much longer.

The cultivators of Jingjian City roared as they rose into the air, trying to help Cang Xiu face his enemy.

However, Qian Venerable immediately led his demonic cultivators, dealing a deadly blow to these Jingjian City cultivators.

The Jingjian City cultivators mainly consisted of swordsmiths, not skilled in combat!

At this moment, the only ones who could help Cang Xiu were Ming Yu and....

"It's too late..." A look of despair flashed in Ming Yu's eyes.
