Chapter 376: Perfect Escape
Star Spear assessed Chen Ming’s strength, finding it close to theirs. But with three of them here, his escape was cut off.
“Cut the chatter and let’s see what you’re made of!”
Uncanny laughter came out of the black mist, “To be honest, for an alchemist to have such power is worthy of my admiration. Then again, your talent is misplaced. If you had devoted yourself to battle, not wasting time with alchemy, who knows, you might have had the chance to escape today. Too bad though, your heart isn’t wholly committed to the Dao!”
Chen Ming found his words hilarious, Is there anyone in this world more in tune with the Dao? Is there?
Chen Ming smiled, “With your final words in order, this Immortal Master shall send you on your way!”
His body shook and stars began to light up from his back. The Allheaven Stellar Array was backed up by 2800 stars and Chen Ming was quite eager to know the extent of its power!
The stars left his back and formed a Star Chart in the sky. Hidden Blade revealed his body as the pressure was too much for his stealth art to take, dispelling the black mist.
As the mist scattered, he began to feel an endless mountain crushing him, the weight of the heavens resting on his shoulders; it also cut his power in half!
The other two didn’t fare any better, collapsing to one knee. They had to expend some energy to get back up, “Immortal array!”
“He’s also an array master!”
Chen Ming was quite pleased by his Allheaven Stellar Array. He went and drew Two Year Cicada, not in the least bit interested in idling away with senseless and arrogant talks.
Though trash talk has some use, the arrogant the man the trashier the talk!
The sword soul flowed through Two Year Cicada, releasing a torrent of sword intent. It wreaked havoc above the blade but, when he swung it, all of it rushed inside!
Vanishing Immortal Sword was all about speed!
Plus, with Two Year Cicada’s effect, Chen Ming was face to face with Hidden Blade in a blink. The later lifted his blade, brandishing his own saber soul!
Under Allheaven Stellar Array’s pressure, even with the added saber soul, Hidden Blade recoiled dozens of steps. Chen Ming’s strike still held strong as he reversed his grip on Two Year Cicada and spun his body to stab with it while holding it with both hands.
It pierced Hidden Blade through his abdomen and ran him into a nearby mountain, leaving nothing but rubble behind.
If not for his saber soul, Chen Ming’s sword soul would have ripped him to shreds!
Chen Ming pulled the blade and jumped on him while using the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps.
Under this trample, the already bleeding Hidden Blade suffered another blow, coughing up blood!
Chen Ming eyed him, This guy ain’t bad, still alive even after all that.
A peak Earth Immortal wouldn’t bite the dust that easily.
Chen Ming’s assault gave Hidden Blade a heavy wound in but an instant!
He could feel Chen Ming’s speed was swift, yet he had no chance to counter. His speed was borderline excessive!
Hidden Blade himself cultivated the swift aspect of the saber, yet here was Chen Ming who surpassed his speed by one fold!
Hidden Blade’s sleeve floated about and a gleam of a blade came out of it only to meet Two Year Cicada. His arms went numb as Chen Ming’s blade crossed his neck before he could amount any further resistance.
Hidden Blade’s head fell while Chen Ming turned to the other two. He didn’t even look as his blade pierced the rolling head.
“Ding! You killed Hidden Blade. Reward: one million spiritual knowledge, 30,000 fame, and a storage ring.”
Damn! He’s flat broke, but at least I got an immortal item.
Six Sabers and Star Spear looked at each other, lost, Hidden Blade just died? Like that?
The speed of the two swift sabers crisscrossing was too fast!
They couldn’t stop the philosophical questions from pouring into their minds, Who am I? Why am I here? Who hit me? Who do I hit…
With how fast Chen Ming made quick work of Hidden Blade, the two’s mind was overrun with thoughts of escape.
“Star Spear!”
When Star Spear was trained to perfection, it could even break stars, but to his amazement, Allheaven Stellar Array’s glow dimmed but a fraction!
Next came the murderous Chen Ming behind him, leaving a bleeding gash on his back.
Star Spear reigned in the pain but knew Allheaven Stellar Array wouldn’t fall from a hit or two.
Before he got to tear a hole in it, Chen Ming would make a corpse out of him.
Star Spear threw himself at Chen Ming, despite his numb limbs. He shouted, “Six Sabers, the array won’t scatter if he doesn’t die!”
Six Sabers launched a saber rain with his five arms, blocking any means of escape.
With Allheaven Stellar Array in place, Chen Ming reckoned the saber rain wouldn’t hurt him. He rushed like mad with Eight Dragon-ascending Steps next to Six Sabers and struck.
Sparks rained as he cut another blade!
Chen Ming’s Daoist robe sported three white lines yet none reached his body. He struck again and again and again!
Three hits, three broken blades!
Fear gripped Six Sabers’ heart in a vise, now holding a single saber, “Star Spear, save me!”
Star Spear’s spear moved akin to a dragon, exploding with draconic influence and filling the sky with spear images!
Chen Ming didn’t even look, having full confidence in Allheaven Stellar Array to keep him out of harm’s way. Taking this spear will let me kill this guy!
Chen Ming upped his saber’s speed again. As the demon blade approached, Six Sabers did all he could to meet it with his sole blade.
As the last of his weapons was cut short, Six Sabers was panicking, What to do?
Chen Ming held his saber with both hands coming after him again. No remorse!
Six Sabers was split in half but what laid on the ground was a spider shell. Blast it! He molted!
Who knew Six Sabers had such a substitute technique in store!
Chen Ming had yet to recover when he felt Six Sabers’ five chops on his waist and the spear torrent coming from behind!
