In an instant, Duan Huang hurriedly unleashed his strongest trump card, activating his special physique. The vast elemental force within him surged, and a ferocious punch was unleashed into the air.
Boom!
The void seemed to tremble as a dazzling, radiant fist aura erupted from Duan Huang’s fist. The uneven, bamboo-like fist aura carried the supreme might of a Martial Emperor, stirring fierce gales and emitting piercing sounds as it blasted towards the charging Lin Xiao.
“Shaking Light!”
With a thunderous shout, Lin Xiao struck. Grasping the Shaking Light Broken Sword with both hands, he slashed vertically at Duan Huang. The void seemed to quiver and tremble, and an exceptionally bright white sword aura burst forth, imbued with the power to annihilate everything, colliding with Duan Huang’s fist aura.
At the same time, from Lin Xiao’s side, the Demon Sect’s Great Elder’s eyes gleamed as he seized the moment. Unleashing his strongest trump card, dark energy surged around him, his aura earth-shaking. With an unparalleled slash, a hundred-foot-long black blade aura seemed to slice through the void itself, cutting through all obstacles with unstoppable force, swiftly slashing towards Lin Xiao.
However, in the Great Elder’s delighted gaze, a voice, as if from an unrivalled powerhouse, resounded deeply, “Sacred Hand Covers Heaven!”
Boom!
Before the words faded, a massive tri-coloured palm, black, cyan, and blue, suddenly formed beside Lin Xiao.
The tri-coloured palm radiated terrifying devouring power, as if it could swallow space itself, twisting the surroundings and plunging them into darkness.
A scorching aura filled the heavens, as if the entire space might be incinerated to ashes. The ground below, for dozens of miles, saw its debris and broken wood burst into flames.
Moreover, faint thunder rumbled within the tri-coloured palm, as if it contained vast, unparalleled lightning energy.
In other words, the tri-coloured palm held the power of three attributes.
The entire area was shrouded in a oppressive black, cyan, and dark blue hue.
The entire area was under immense pressure.
“What!” The moment the massive tri-coloured palm appeared, the Demon Sect’s Great Elder’s face filled with intense shock. The energy palm seemed as if it came from a Martial Saint, far too terrifying.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…
The tri-coloured energy palm, like that of a Martial Saint, blocked the hundred-foot black blade aura. The blade aura shattered instantly, turning into vast, sea-like waves of dark energy, surging outward.
The tri-coloured palm, only partially depleted, swept forward with the momentum of covering the heavens, carrying the dark waves and fluctuations, slamming towards the Demon Sect’s Great Elder.
The terrifying aura of the three attribute energies made even the Great Elder sense the thick stench of death.
“No, Defensive Pearl!” The Great Elder cried out, crushing a life-saving trump card he had once obtained by chance. Terrifying fluctuations spread from his hand, and a massive barrier formed in front of him, enveloping his body, blocking the massive energy palm.
“Boom!”…
The Great Elder felt the void tremble, his vision darkening as if engulfed. Before the barrier, waves of energy surged like a stormy sea, submerging him in an ocean of energy.
Simultaneously, in another direction, Lin Xiao’s Shaking Light sword aura clashed with Duan Huang’s bamboo-like fist aura. Duan Huang’s fist aura was instantly sliced apart, turning into massive waves surging to both sides.
The weakened white sword aura, still carrying annihilating force, slashed through the air, striking Duan Huang’s protective elemental energy.
Pfft!
A mist of blood sprayed from Duan Huang’s front, blood gushing from his mouth. His entire body was sent flying far back.
In that moment, the Evil Sect Master, Ling Xiao, and Ming Luo, who was dodging the Purple Corpse Puppet’s attacks, were all stunned. How could Lin Xiao’s unleashed power be so terrifying?
Especially the massive tri-coloured energy palm, which even they felt posed a danger.
Fu Yan, watching from the sidelines, was even more shocked, his eyes widening.
He had planned to strike Lin Xiao fatally when Lin Xiao, ignoring the Great Elder’s attack, focused on Duan Huang, leaving himself open to a heavy blow.
He had been ready to act with lightning speed.
But then, the terrifying tri-coloured energy palm appeared beside Lin Xiao, forcing Fu Yan to halt his planned assault.
He could not comprehend it. He knew Lin Xiao’s elemental force was stronger than his own, and he knew Lin Xiao had spiritual energy attacks, but he had seen those attacks before, and they were not this powerful. How had they suddenly become so formidable?
The power of this spiritual energy attack surpassed even Lin Xiao’s elemental force attack, which was utterly unreasonable!
Could Lin Xiao’s spiritual energy have broken through as well?
But just over a month ago, during the battle at the Demon Sect, Lin Xiao’s spiritual energy was only fifth-grade advanced. Even with a breakthrough this month, it would only be sixth-grade beginner spiritual energy.
Sixth-grade beginner spiritual energy was negligible to a Martial Emperor. How could it be this strong?
Of course, Fu Yan, the Evil Sect Master, and the others were equally shocked by Lin Xiao’s elemental force. His strongest strike seemed to have critically injured Duan Huang, whose fate was uncertain.
But the energy palm shocked them even more.
They were certain that if the Demon Sect’s Great Elder had not activated a mysterious barrier at the last moment, he would have been dead.
They still did not know how the Great Elder, even with his special treasure, was faring.
In truth, Lin Xiao himself was shocked. What he had just unleashed was the fusion of three spiritual energies, an advanced technique derived from the Eternal Heaven Spirit Art, Sacred Hand Covers Heaven, a level above Only Hand Covers Heaven.
He had not expected such power. This strike had nearly drained his spiritual energy.
He could no longer use spiritual energy attacks.
In other words, he could only rely on elemental force to fight now.
Of course, Lin Xiao had to marvel at the Martial Emperors’ life-saving trump cards. The mysterious barrier that appeared before the Great Elder had likely blocked his Sacred Hand Covers Heaven attack.
As for Duan Huang, he was probably in bad shape.
And Lin Xiao would not let this opportunity pass!
Continuing to channel powerful elemental force, Lin Xiao charged forward, parting the heavy waves of energy.
