Chapter 199 - 197: 3 Prodigies Unite, Slaying a Grandmaster in the Array

Chapter 199: Chapter 197: 3 Prodigies Unite, Slaying a Grandmaster in the Array

Wu Daoquan, the Pavilion Master of the Heaven Returning Pavilion, had always presented himself to the world as a Medical Grandmaster. He had never even been known to fight anyone.

Everyone believed he was just a physician, and that his Primordial Pill Realm cultivation was merely a foundation for his Medical Dao. Who would have thought he had secretly mastered such a sinister and bizarre Secret Technique?

It was safe to say that even without Su Mei’s bewitchment, the thoughts of this Life-Restoring Saint Hand were far from pure.

The moment Wu Daoquan’s voice fell, he leaped directly at Qin Suguang.

His speed was utterly extreme, like a streak of black light. He appeared before Qin Suguang almost instantaneously.

As the punch came down, Qin Suguang formed the Great Sun Buddha Seal to meet it.

But in the next instant, the Seal Technique was shattered by Wu Daoquan’s fist. Even his protective Great Sun Golden Light was shaken by the blow, and his body was sent flying.

In this state, Wu Daoquan’s physical strength was incredibly formidable. Moreover, his attacks carried the potent Poison Power of his Soul-Summoning Poison Hand. Qin Suguang’s surrounding Buddha Light was tainted by the poison, forcing him to focus all his Inner Strength True Qi to expel it from his body.

Although the poison Wu Daoquan concocted wasn’t as tyrannical as Ming Gongqiao’s Heaven-Devouring Poison, it was still incredibly difficult to deal with.

Just then, a tyrannical Sword Qi, as aggressive as fire, suddenly struck from behind.

The scorching Sword Intent slammed into Wu Daoquan with monstrous power, tearing through the poisonous cloud surrounding him. When the long sword struck the Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor, it erupted in a violent burst of flame.

Gu Lichuan’s sword strike was astonishingly powerful, yet it only made Wu Daoquan stagger. The Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor on his back was completely undamaged, showing only a white mark.

Wu Daoquan spun around abruptly, grabbed Gu Lichuan’s Nanming Fire Sword with his bare hand, and yanked it back violently!

Gu Lichuan’s Nanming Fire Sword was an Earth Soldier, and its blade was imbued with Li Fire Sword Qi, making it incomparably sharp.

But Wu Daoquan seemed not to feel it, completely ignoring the power of the Nanming Fire Sword. With a surge of Giant Power, he ripped the sword from Gu Lichuan’s grasp and simultaneously thrust a palm straight at his chest!

At that exact moment, Chen Yuan’s saber fell, weaving Blood Fiend and Demonic Qi together.

Under the Blood Demon Devouring the Sun, an extreme pulling force suddenly yanked Wu Daoquan’s body back. Gu Lichuan seized the opportunity to draw another long sword. With a single slash, he conjured a sky full of surging Sword Qi, a vast Sword Qi River that crashed down on Wu Daoquan.

With a series of thunderous booms, Wu Daoquan was struck by both saber and sword, his body sent flying over a hundred feet.

The surrounding Martial Artists watched Chen Yuan’s trio fight Wu Daoquan, their eyes filled with shock.

’Is the caliber of prodigies on this generation’s Hidden Dragon Rankings really this high?’

They were currently being suppressed by the Red Lotus Sect’s formation, their own True Qi burning away, making it impossible to use their full strength.

Yet here were Chen Yuan’s trio, not only resisting the array’s power but also clashing head-on with Wu Daoquan, a Primordial Pill Realm Martial Arts Grandmaster.

And Wu Daoquan’s combat strength was nothing to scoff at.

The Poison Power of his Soul-Summoning Poison Hand was tyrannical, and his Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor was impervious to blades and spears. He was an incredibly thorny opponent.

No one could have imagined that this Life-Restoring Saint Hand possessed such immense combat strength.

Even another Martial Arts Grandmaster at the same Primordial Pill Realm would likely not be Wu Daoquan’s match under these conditions.

But now, after taking Chen Yuan’s Blood Demon Devouring the Sun and Gu Lichuan’s Mountain and Sea Sword Scripture head-on, Wu Daoquan, despite being blasted over a hundred feet away, staggered to his feet. He seemed completely uninjured as he charged at the three of them once more.

Chen Yuan said in a low voice, "We can’t drag this out with him. The longer we fight, the stronger he gets, and the weaker we become!

"Hold him off with everything you’ve got! I’ll break his Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor!"

The Red Lotus Formation laid by Su Mei was continuously draining the Qi and Blood of the many Martial Artists present.

Under the array’s suppression, most of the Martial Artists were no match for the Red Lotus Sect’s members and could only be slaughtered one by one.

And while Murong Li and the others were still holding on, they couldn’t break the array to change the situation just yet.

Once the Red Lotus absorbed enough Qi and Blood, heaven knew what other unexpected changes would occur. They had to end this quickly.

Qin Suguang nodded, the Qi and Blood throughout his body burning fiercely.

He formed a Seal Technique. At this moment, he stood as firm as a mountain, and the phantom of the Great Sun Buddha appeared behind him.

As the seal descended, a Swastika Buddha Seal materialized in the Great Sun Buddha’s hand and pressed down toward Wu Daoquan.

Celestial Light Sun Seal!

This majestic and powerful Seal Technique slammed Wu Daoquan straight into the ground, leaving a human-shaped crater.

As Wu Daoquan struggled to climb out, Gu Lichuan immediately followed up.

He drew an ethereal blue long sword, as if forged from ice crystals.

He thrust the sword forward. Like a howling wind from the Nine Nethers, a piercing Sword Qi whistled forth, instantly freezing the True Qi and poison clouds as it struck Wu Daoquan’s body.

Nine Nether Cold Prison Sword!

Although Gu Lichuan hadn’t possessed this Swordsmanship for long, he had cultivated an incredibly pure Cold Ice Sword Qi.

While it also failed to break through the Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor’s defense, it managed to freeze him solid on the spot.

And in the same instant that Gu Lichuan made his move, all the power in Chen Yuan’s body surged and boiled.

Blood Fiend, Demon Flame, and the Qi and Blood Power from the Blood Spirit Scripture converged in an instant. As Chen Yuan drew a phantom bow, an utterly terrifying power gathered on the nonexistent bowstring.

He released the string. With a deafening CRACK like thunder from the ninth heaven, the terrifying power shot forth!

Using his body as the bow and his indomitable will as the arrow, he gathered world-shaking power to pierce through the Ninefold Hell!

Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow!

Wu Daoquan sensed the terrifying might of the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow. He let out a long cry, shattering the ice around him, and frantically scrambled backward and to the left, trying to dodge the arrow.

But once released, the arrow seemed to lock onto Wu Daoquan, rendering all his attempts to evade useless.

Seeing that there was no way to dodge and no place to hide, Wu Daoquan crossed his arms in front of him, intending to block the arrow with the strength of his Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor.

With a stunning BOOM, the immense power directly shattered the Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor on his arms.

The Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor, impervious to water and fire, indestructible by any weapon, was finally torn apart inch by inch by the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow that could pierce the Ninefold Hell. Even Wu Daoquan’s arms were obliterated!

But Wu Daoquan just sneered. A green light pulsed around his body, and under its effect, flesh and blood began to surge wildly from his shredded arms, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Wu Daoquan’s signature move, the Life-Restoring Hand, was a Secret Technique for regenerating severed limbs. It activated his body’s Qi and Blood to reconstruct flesh, Meridians, and even bone.

However, this Secret Technique consumed one’s own Life Force. Wu Daoquan couldn’t use it casually before; only when treating someone of extraordinary status would he resort to a Secret Technique of this level.

And now, not only was his flesh regenerating, but the Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor also began to squirm, trying to cover his arms again.

But just then, when the power of the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow was clearly spent, a streak of flowing Blood Qi suddenly transformed into a blood needle and shot swiftly toward Wu Daoquan’s eye!

It was the only spot on his entire body not covered by the Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor!

Wu Daoquan never would have imagined that Chen Yuan had another trick up his sleeve.

Caught off guard, his left eye was pierced by the blood needle, causing him to let out a miserable shriek.

"Now!"

Chen Yuan shouted sharply, his face also slightly pale.

Using the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow was draining, but his real killing move was that slender blood needle.

For Chen Yuan to hide such a killing blow within the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow from so far away was thanks to the control over his power that he had honed in the Myriad Phenomena Ninefold Tower—a control even more formidable than that of most Primordial Pill Realm Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Don’t be fooled by the small amount of power in that single blood needle. The difficulty of controlling that wisp of power after it left his body was akin to carving characters on a grain of rice.

Moreover, Chen Yuan had discovered that Wu Daoquan’s Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor was indeed bizarrely tough, like an iron tortoise, impervious to blades and spears.

But he wasn’t without weakness. His true weak point was that Wu Daoquan’s own combat experience wasn’t actually that strong.

Although he was a Primordial Pill Realm Martial Arts Grandmaster and had developed Secret Techniques like the Soul-Summoning Poison Hand and the Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor, his combat experience was pitifully lacking.

After all, as the Pavilion Master of the Heaven Returning Pavilion, Wu Daoquan rarely had the chance to engage in life-or-death battles. Furthermore, he couldn’t use these Secret Techniques openly, or his persona as a Medical Grandmaster would surely crumble.

Therefore, Wu Daoquan’s combat experience couldn’t even compare to a Martial Arts Grandmaster like Wen Cangyuan, who had fought his way up from the bottom, let alone some experienced Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists.

If it had been any other Martial Arts Grandmaster facing that blood needle just now, they might have reacted in various ways to dodge it.

But Wu Daoquan couldn’t react at all and ended up losing an eye.

An eye bursting was an injury that even Wu Daoquan couldn’t restore with his Life-Restoring Hand.

Moreover, his eyes were one of the weak points of his Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor. With one destroyed, he couldn’t even continue to regenerate the armor.

Qin Suguang and Gu Lichuan coordinated with perfect tacit understanding. They attacked almost simultaneously the moment Wu Daoquan’s eye was pierced.

Gu Lichuan retrieved his Nanming Fire Sword and attacked with both it and the Nine Nether Cold Prison Sword. The Ice and Fire Power intertwined as a torrent of thousands of Sword Qi swept down.

Meanwhile, Qin Suguang gathered all his strength for a single saber strike. The power of the Mountain-Shaking Peak-Slicing Saber was immense, its momentum like a rainbow, as if it could truly sever mountains and cleave peaks.

The two men’s attacks crashed down on Wu Daoquan. This time, they finally managed to break through part of his defenses, blasting his Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor to shreds.

Behind them, a powerful and surging Blood Fiend condensed around Chen Yuan. The killing calamity descended abruptly, transforming into a gigantic crimson handprint that fell from the sky!

The Coiled Dragon Black Scale Armor on Wu Daoquan’s body squirmed frantically, but under the Blood Killing Heaven-Seizing Hand, although parts of the armor remained intact, Wu Daoquan’s physical body was obliterated by Chen Yuan’s palm strike, turning into a cloud of blood mist that was absorbed by the Red Lotus above.
