It directly turned into a sword without any power. As the Emperor Sword changed, the sword light that had already slashed out dimmed. As it continuously flew towards Xiao Shi, it obliterated and dissipated bit by bit. This sudden scene stunned the Martial Emperor. He looked at the Emperor Sword in his hand in a daze. It was not that he had never seen those powerful sealing methods. However, no matter how powerful the seal he knew was, it was impossible to seal his Emperor Sword in such a short period of time. After all, it was already immune to most seals. But in the current situation, he was completely stunned.
Xiao Shi’s figure flashed and he immediately seized this opportunity to continue attacking. He knew very well that although the Myriad Treasure Pagoda could invalidate a ninth-stage martial arts item of the target, there was a time limit. He had to completely kill the Martial Emperor before the Emperor Sword recovered.
While the Martial Emperor was in a daze, Xiao Shi instantly flashed in front of the Martial Emperor. He raised his hand and pressed it down. With the Martial Emperor as the center, the ground hundreds of feet around him instantly exploded. Countless pieces of soil were blasted and sent flying, condensing towards the Martial Emperor. They instantly closed and compacted, forming an incomparably tight mountain.
It sealed the Martial Emperor into the mountain. It was the ability of the Mountain God lineage. If the other party was not a Martial Emperor or a ninthstage martial artist, Xiao Shi could have completely sealed him in this way. However, he knew very well that with the Martial Emperor’s strength, it was impossible for him to seal him so easily. Of course, he was not only using the abilities of the Mountain God lineage now. He also mixed in the dream of the Dream Witch lineage in the mountain. This caused the Martial Emperor to fall into a dream while being sealed by this mountain.
Previously, when Xiao Shi was still a demigod, he was unable to visualize the dream of a ninth realm expert because of his cultivation. But now that he had advanced to the ninth realm, he could already visualize a ninth realm expert in his dream.
What he was visualizing now was the Martial Emperor himself. This made the Martial Emperor face his other self in the dream. Moreover, he had to get rid of his other self in the dream to escape.
Xiao Shi cleverly combined the abilities of the Mountain God lineage with the abilities of the Dream Witch lineage.
He knew that just this alone was not enough to threaten the other party.
As expected.
Although the Martial Emperor had been sealed by the Mountain God and the dream of the Dream Witch, he also had powerful methods that he had not used before, apart from the Emperor Sword.
With an earth-shattering explosion, a painting suddenly spread out on the ground. This was a strange painting made of life and death. Life on one side and death on the other. After circling each other, they formed this life and death painting.
The Life and Death Scroll continued to become majestic. The will of life and death on it was extremely powerful. As soon as it appeared, the entire sky changed. It was as if the place where the painting was located was divided into two parts. One part withered as if it was dead, and the other was filled with life, as if it was reborn.
It was extremely strange.
Under the Martial Emperor’s roar, the entire mountain peak, with life and death as the boundary, that trapped the Martial Emperor was torn apart. Even the dream formed by Xiao Shi was torn apart by the Martial Emperor.
However, Xiao Shi had long expected that these two abilities alone would not be able to do anything to the Martial Emperor. Therefore, he had already prepared a backup plan. Or to be more precise, his attack was divided into two steps. The cooperation between the Mountain God lineage and the Dream Wizard lineage was only the first step.
The second step was his true killing move!
His skin was already dyed black, and his face seemed to be wearing a ghost mask. The shoulder blades on his back tore into a pair of huge ghost wings. A spiral horn covered in many dense patterns crawled out of his forehead. Phantoms of evil ghosts condensed behind him. It let out a sharp hiss.
There was a bang.
A terrifying aura erupted from Xiao Shi’s body. Crimson blood mist spewed out from both inside and outside his body. The air around them suddenly distorted.
Xiao Shi, who was enveloped in the blood mist, was covered in blood, as if he was immersed in endless blood. He slowly raised his head and spoke in a low and hoarse voice. “Crimson… fiend!” his body disappeared from the spot. It charged at the Martial Emperor at a shocking speed that could travel through the void and time.
This was the combination of the Red Tiger lineage and the Evil Ghost lineage. This was to activate the Crimson Fiend with the power of the evil ghost lineage as support. This allowed the Crimson Fiend to erupt with even more violent power. Moreover, he seemed to have calculated the time when the Martial Emperor would break through the mountain peak.
The Martial Emperor had just broken through the mountain peak when Xiao Shi, who was covered in blood mist, had already arrived in front of him. The Martial Emperor’s pupils constricted. All the hair on his body stood on end.
Xiao Shi’s move had a huge trauma on him. After all, his demigod clone had died from this attack last time. As a result, when he faced Xiao Shi’s attack, he actually had a stress reaction. Especially since Xiao Shi had already calculated everything. It did not give him any time to block or dodge.
This forced the Martial Emperor to use the Life and Death Scroll under him to form a powerful force in an attempt to block it. However, this power of life and death was useless on Xiao Shi. Or rather, Xiao Shi had transferred this effect to the evil ghost phantoms behind him. He was not affected at all.
There was a bang.
Xiao Shi, who was covered in a bloody mist, collided heavily with the Martial Emperor. Even with the Martial Emperor’s current body, his body was still sent flying the moment he was hit by Xiao Shi. Moreover, after the blood mist that filled Xiao Shi’s surroundings touched the Martial Emperor’s body, it absorbed much of his life force.
Although it was not like when Xiao Shi fought the Martial Emperor’s avatar back then, where he directly sucked it until it was only skin and bones, it also caused the Martial Emperor’s vitality to decrease greatly.
Other than that, the poison of the evil ghost bloodline also seeped into the Martial Emperor’s body and began to burn it.
The Martial Emperor coughed up blood. His face was covered in a layer of black aura, which vaguely formed the face of an evil ghost that kept twisting on the Martial Emperor’s face. His entire chest collapsed from the impact.
Before he could get up, Xiao Shi had already charged over again. He had only bumped into the Martial Emperor’s demigod clone and killed it on the spot. This time, Xiao Shi was facing a Martial Emperor at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao. Naturally, it was impossible for him to kill him immediately. However, this also allowed Xiao Shi to display the full power of the Crimson Fiend. Crimson Fiend was currently the strongest killing move among the four lineages. It was far stronger than the other three lineages.
Especially after Xiao Shi advanced to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, the power of the Crimson Fiend was also much stronger than when he fought the Martial Emperor’s demigod clone.
The Crimson Fiend’s strength was far more than just the initial collision.
After absorbing much of the Martial Emperor’s vitality through the blood mist, the power of the Crimson Fiend had already increased to a greater extent than before. It even made the blood mist that filled the surface of Xiao Shi’s body vaguely transform into the phantom of the Martial Emperor.
Xiao Shi’s eyes were filled with killing intent. His temperament had also become even more ferocious than before. “Martial Emperor, I’m going to kill you today!” Xiao Shi let out a furious roar and charged towards the Martial Emperor.
An incomparably intense life-and-death crisis stimulated every nerve of the Martial Emperor. Madness gradually appeared in his eyes. “Kill me? You?!” He let out a growl.
The moment Xiao Shi bumped into his body, a mask instantly appeared on his face.
It was the mask of the divine envoy!
