Chapter 6492 You Fell For It
The sword directly pierced Ku Jian’s law domain, its chilly Sword Qi reaching him.
“A sword cultivator!” Ku Jian exclaimed.
The icy Sword Qi made his very bones tremble. His expression was dark now. After all, his almighty law domain, which was capable of suppressing anyone without a complete essence rune, had broken up twice.
Dong Mingyu had pierced it with her mysterious dagger, but Zhao Yue had done it with just her sharp sword will.
Among all cultivators, sword cultivators possessed the deadliest offense in the nine heavens and ten lands. Across countless ages, no one could ever dispute this fact.
Ku Jian roared as his arms turned black and scaly. His armor blazed with light, and its runes flared like an ancient beast awakening. A savage aura erupted as he threw a punch.
Law runes followed his punch, crushing the surrounding space. Ku Jian was actually forced to use his full power.
BOOM!
The moment Zhao Yue’s sword struck his armor, divine light exploded. Sword Qi and law power raged, making her grunt and blowing her whole body back.
When she steadied herself, blood slowly dripped down her sword.
In that clash of Sword Qi and law power, Zhao Yue was injured. Yet, Ku Jian didn’t come away unscathed. His arm went numb, and pain like countless needles stabbed through his bones. A portion of Zhao Yue’s explosive Sword Qi had bypassed his defenses and pierced his arm.
Ku Jian couldn’t help being shocked by that. Even with his complete essence rune and control over law power, a single woman had taken his full-power attack head on.
“Die!”
Ku Jian charged, the void shattering beneath his feet. Zhao Yue’s aura was chaotic from the invading law power—this was his best chance to kill her.
“Wind God Slash!”
Suddenly, a giant wind blade roared toward him.
“Divine energy...”
Ku Jian’s heart shook. The wind blade contained the power of the god path. He didn’t dare take it lightly.
BOOM!
His punch shattered the wind blade, but it turned into a biting astral wind that drove him back.
As he stumbled, the void twisted. Countless wind blades rained down on him like a waterfall. Each one was a spinning, palm-sized scythe filled with divine energy.
“You can’t stop me!” Ku Jian shouted, raising his hands and pushing forward with brute force.
He was truly enraged now. If he couldn’t seize the Earth Cauldron quickly, once the other half-step Sovereign Lords arrived, his advantage would vanish.
“Blood Explosion Ignites the Heavens!”
Ku Jian’s Blood Qi ignited. The runes on his armor seemed to come to life, and his aura grew even more terrifying. Like a meteor, he crashed through the wind blades, blowing them apart.
At the end of that storm stood Tang Wan-er, hands forming seals. Seeing her, Ku Jian raised his armored arm toward her.
Tang Wan-er was shocked to see him forcing through the wind blade torrent. It was too late for her to switch moves.
But just then, a golden phoenix spear streaked through the air. Feng You charged in.
BOOM!
Ku Jian’s punch smashed into her, sending her tumbling with her spear. Blood sprayed from her mouth.
However, her spear had saved Tang Wan-er from the crisis.
“Damn baldie!” Tang Wan-er cursed.
Tang Wan-er summoned a sword etched with whirling runes. Her divine qi surged.
BOOM!
Ku Jian’s fist met her sword and blew her back as well.
Against a half-step Sovereign Lord, everyone else’s essence runes were suppressed. The traces of law power they could normally control were completely nullified. This was the advantage of a half-step Sovereign Lord. Within his domain, others would be suppressed.
In the blink of an eye, Dong Mingyu reappeared, her black dagger slicing toward the back of Ku Jian’s head.
“Scram!”
Ku Jian roared. Blood-colored wings erupted from his back, blasting Dong Mingyu away.
Ku Jian knew too well how dangerous Dong Mingyu was. Keeping his distance, he relied on divine abilities to repel her. With her frail body, she couldn’t endure direct clashes. So, he just needed to keep his distance, and she wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
Zhao Yue, Tang Wan-er, and Feng You attacked him again. Aware of how large the gap was between them, they had to work together to tie him down.
Qi waves rippled wildly as Ku Jian fought with his bare fists. Even combined, the four women could only slow him slightly. He still forced them back step by step.
“Divine Dragon Tail Pendulum!”
“Blaze Dragon Heavenly Destruction!”
At this moment, Mo Yang and Chi Wufeng stopped holding back. When they joined the fray, they directly unleashed their strongest attacks.
Su Yu and Cui Hao rushed over as well, leaving the other leaders to deal with the rest of the battlefield. Ku Jian was the greatest threat.
“You can’t stop me!” Ku Jian roared.
As his Blood Qi blazed, his wings tore through the battlefield. All on his own, he blocked all their attacks and continued pressing toward the Earth Cauldron.
Everyone could now feel just how terrifying a half-step Sovereign Lord truly was.
Previously, Tang Wan-er and the others had deliberately concealed their strength to stall for time. But even so, they had displayed power great enough to kill those with incomplete essence runes.
However, even with their full power, they could only slow Ku Jian down slightly, as if they were holding onto his legs as he pressed onwards.
This was the might of one who had condensed a complete essence rune and mastered law power. In this realm, Ku Jian was unstoppable.
His essence rune suppressed everyone’s law power, while his own was unaffected. It was as if he fought freely while everyone else battled with their hands bound.
Just as Ku Jian was pressing onward through everyone’s blockade, a faint popping sound echoed—like a bubble bursting.
“AHH!”
Ku Jian screamed, clutching his head as his face contorted in pain.
Behind Tang Wan-er and the others, Meng Qi stood atop Cloud’s head. Both their eyes were closed, their bodies flickering with light as vast Spiritual Strength surged forth in a combined spiritual assault.
This is my chance!
Dong Mingyu’s eyes gleamed as she prepared to strike—
“Don’t fall for it!” Meng Qi’s voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s minds.
Everyone was startled. Only then did they realize Ku Qian had vanished. No one had noticed when he’d disappeared.
“Hahaha, the Earth Cauldron belongs to the Heaven Wing Blood Devil race!”
Space rippled as Ku Qian appeared beside the Earth Cauldron. Somehow, he had slipped past all of them.
A blood-colored talisman with overflowing curse energy appeared in his hand. Its aura sent chills down their spines. Clearly, he was trying to bind the Earth Cauldron with it.
Lei Yuner was the closest to him, so she immediately rushed over.
“Scram! Do you think I’m still the same Ku Qian?” he sneered.
Without even doing anything, he blew Lei Yuner back.
“A law domain! He... he’s also a half-step Sovereign Lord?!” Everyone gasped.
They could only watch the blood-colored talisman descend toward the Earth Cauldron.
Suddenly, a massive hand emerged from the void and clamped around Ku Qian’s neck. An enormous figure stepped out of the darkness.
