Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San - Chapter 313: The Chunk of Metal Meets The Chunk of Flesh

Chapter 313: The Chunk of Metal Meets The Chunk of Flesh

The mighty body of the Earth Demon Ox momentarily froze in the sky, a bizarre scene unfolding around it. Attached to it was a male Blue Fox, who seemed to be trying to separate from the Earth Demon Ox. But no sooner had it begun to detach than both their bodies turned into blue ice sculptures, plummeting from the sky and crashing fiercely onto the ground.

The blue flames around on Wu Bingji flickered out almost completely as he, too, fell from the sky, having exerted all his strength in that strike.

From a distance, Cheng Zicheng abruptly paused in mid-air before finally landing. The brief halt in time saved her from further injury from the fall, but her golden wings had vanished, and her arms hung limply at her sides, indicating she was utterly drained of the strength to fight. Her face was pale, and blood trickled from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Roar—

The eyes of the other Earth Demon Ox, which had initially been blue, instantly turned red. It acutely sensed the disappearance of its companion’s aura, and naturally, the Blue Fox inside it also felt the presence of its kin vanishing. Wu Bingji’s spear had instantly annihilated the duo.

Sword Demon Squad, two down.

The Earth Demon Ox strode forward with its thick legs, madly charging toward the soon-to-land Wu Bingji. But a swiftly spinning figure emitting a piercing screech suddenly blocked its path.

The figure spinning at high speed was radiating intense bloodline fluctuations, and it seemed as if everything around him was distorting.

The Earth Demon Ox raised its Totem Pole horizontally, ignoring its opponent and continued to charge forward.

“Freeze!”, a voice bellowed angrily. The Earth Demon Ox charging forward suddenly came to an absolute halt.

The rapidly spinning figure had already charged up.The next instant, it was as if the distorted light around him shattered to pieces. The tail hammer, having spun countless times, smashed fiercely onto the hefty Earth Demon Ox, whipping it into the air and toward the “ice sculptures” on the ground.

“Burst!”

Boom!

The ice sculptures suddenly exploded just as the Earth Demon Ox plummeted toward them. The violent blast made the entire Great Beast Fighting Arena quake.

The Earth Demon Ox was blasted dozens of meters away by the blow. It crashed hard onto the ground, and a blue figure was flung out from its body. N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

The rapidly spinning figure also fell to the ground. Gu Li’s face was pale as he fell into unconsciousness. He had nearly blown apart his own sea of consciousness in the effort to freeze time and set up Wu Bingji’s final Ice Burst.

Wu Bingji, too, had collapsed to the ground; though he had burned his bloodline power, he had not completely exhausted it. However, he looked as if he had aged a decade, and he lacked even the strength to stand.

A light flickered, and Du Bai teleported to their side, quickly activating the Spirit Elevation Array to replenish their depleted energy.

No one had expected the battle to turn out this way; the previously overwhelmed Shrek Squad had suddenly unleashed their power, managing to kill an Earth Demon Ox and a Blue Fox and severely injuring another pair. However, this all-out effort had left three of them powerless and injured to varying degrees.

A piercing cry came from afar as the sword energy swirling around Tang San erupted violently. The Red-Crowned Crane was unable to hold back any longer after witnessing its teammates’ deaths. Its dark longsword struck like lightning toward Tang San, letting out a flurry of energy beams. Not only that, but all the energy in the air seemed to converge on the sword instantly, significantly enhancing its dark glow and carrying unstoppable sword energy straight toward Tang San’s chest.

The constricting cage of sword energy made it nearly impossible for Tang San to dodge; the powerful sword energy seemed like it was going to pierce right through him.

The spinning form of Tang San grew stiff under the influence of the sword energy, rendering him unable to execute the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer any longer.

The refined swordsmanship of the Red-Crowned Crane actually countered the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer to some extent; the power-oriented hammer technique was at a disadvantage against the penetrating sword aura.

As the sword thrust toward him, it seemed that Tang San couldn’t pull Sky Shatterer back in time to block

The black longsword was about to pierce him.

“No, Little Tang, no!” Du Bai yelled out. His eyes swirled with white light, his emotions instantly turning frantic. From his eyes shot a violet-gold light, the power of the Purple Demon Eyes.

However, the mental shock of the Purple Demon Eyes had a limited range of effect, diminishing with distance. At that moment, Du Bai had just teleported next to Wu Bingji and Gu Li, far from Tang San’s battlefield.

A full burst of spiritual power only caused the Red-Crowned Crane to stiffen for a moment, but the longsword in its hand still reached right in front of Tang San.

In that instant, whether it was Du Bai, Wu Bingji, or the faltering Cheng Zicheng, their eyes widened and their pupils shrank.

Was Tang San going to die? Only they knew that Tang San was the true heart of their group! Without Tang San, they wouldn’t even have the courage to stand here, let alone the strength. If Tang San were to fall, then today, they were almost certainly doomed!

Although they also fought fiercely and did their share, Tang San had just advanced to the eighth order of cultivation, yet he was single-handedly holding back a ninth-order Red-Crowned Crane. He was the most crucial part of the team.

Just as all the spectators thought this brutal team battle was about to end, time seemed to slow down. A strong, white hand unexpectedly appeared in front of the dark longsword, seizing the blade.

The determined, unstoppable aura of the hand paused midair, its motion and stillness strikingly abrupt. Yet, the white hand was so steady, as if cast from bronze and iron, preventing the longsword from advancing even an inch further.

How is that possible? That was everyone’s first thought. But the face of the Red-Crowned Crane revealed a cruel smile. All the sword energy previously absorbed and stored in the dark longsword exploded in that instant, crazily surging into Tang San’s body.

The Red-Crowned Crane was confident that even a god-level fighter would be severely injured if struck by so much of its sword energy, let alone this opponent who was not even at the ninth order.

However, it was suddenly astonished to see that the other party was also smiling—yes, there was a mocking smile on Tang San’s face. Then it was horrified to discover that all the sword energy it had released had vanished as if sinking into the ocean. After entering Tang San’s body, it had simply disappeared.

Not good!

Its first reaction was to withdraw its longsword, but at such a moment, who would allow it to do that?

A massive hammer fell from the sky, whistling through the air with ferocious momentum.

“No way!” the Red-Crowned Crane shrieked. It wanted to just let go of its sword and retreat, but at that moment, a strong suction force suddenly came from its sword. It felt the bloodline power within its body suddenly drain, as if it were being absorbed by the sword, and it was unable to break free immediately.

Bang!

Sky Shatterer was made of metal, and the head of the Red-Crowned Crane was, after all, made of flesh.

What happens when a chunk of metal meets a chunk of flesh?

Thus, the Shrek Squad added another ghost to their roster of headshots.
