Chapter 197 – Red Lotus Heartflame, Heart Ravaging Magic Sword

TL: Sponsored chapter (3/7)

“Your powers of comprehension are really amazing. Even my profound law foundation is a bit lacking in comparison,” Zhang Yangui said. With a flick of his sleeve, the Jade Water True Sword appeared in his hand with a flash of icy blue. “But your Spiritual Root talent isn’t very high.”

As far as everyone knew, Xu Disheng currently had a middle class Spiritual Root Sequence as a Rank 6 Spiritual Root. It wasn’t that bad, but compared to the other unparalleled geniuses and their identities, it was indeed a bit ill-fitted.

Compared to Zhang Yangui’s upper class Rank 3 Spiritual Root, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.

Only Xu Disheng knew that he currently had a Rank 4 Spiritual Root, which was comparable to geniuses like Yu Yangyao and Jian Liangbi.

With a light flick of his sleeves, a blazing fighting intent ignited in Xu Disheng’s gaze, flaring up like a wildfire!

The Fierce Specter War Chariot appeared by his side, emitting an evil, ear-piercing howl. Right away, he released three of the seals!

Baleful qi filled the entire arena, and the Fierce Specter’s form became more corporeal. Ghost force surged from its body as it threw itself toward Zhang Yangui, leaving a streak of brilliant black light in its path.

An icy blue radiance shone from the Jade Water True Sword, filling the entire arena!

The sword light it unleashed swept across the arena, clad in a rich water elemental energy. It collided ruthlessly with the body of the Fierce Specter stage ghost.

The Fierce Specter let loose a bitter howl. The sword light managed to block it for a bit, but its ghostly body suddenly surged with inexhaustible qi that rose up like black smoke and flames from its body.

Zhang Yangui gripped the Jade Water True Sword. “Jade Water Suppresses the Soul.”

With that, the Jade Water True Sword flew out of his hand and rapidly rose into the sky. It hovered there in the sky, releasing a faint sound of thunder as if it was channeling lightning for an attack.

An expression of fear appeared for the first time on the Fierce Specter stage ghost’s face. But the might of the Jade Water True Sword was too intimidating, rendering it unable to move even half a step.

After a while, thousands of beams of dazzling blue light erupted from the Jade Water True Sword, wrapping up the Fierce Specter stage ghost completely!

“ROOOAAAR!”

A deafening shriek of pain shook the arena. The thousands of blue streams of light curled up around the ghost, forming an icy blue orb that trapped it within. The ghost force rising off its body was dissipating like smoke, and the fierce aura it was releasing quickly grew weaker.

Zhang Yangui flipped his palm over and a small array appeared in his hand. The phantom image of a scarlet sword floated above it. Zhang Yangui poured power into it and uttered, “Heart Ravaging Magic Sword.”

The moment his words reached everyone’s ears, the phantom image of the small scarlet sword suddenly disappeared without a trace. An instant later, it appeared above Xu Disheng’s head and plummeted towards him!

“The Heartlock Sword Array!”

“Zhang Yangui actually took out a Psychic Magic Treasure right away!”

“This Magic Treasure has an impressive origin…”

“At the Sea of Qi stage, it’s not possible to resist the Heartlock Sword Array and the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword.”

“Is Xu Disheng going to be defeated so quickly?”

Countless white birds flew out in an endless flutter from the White Heron Robe, moving to block the phantom image of the scarlet sword.

However, the phantom image of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword penetrated right through the defenses of the White Heron Robe, entering Xu Disheng’s body!

Scarlet sword light entered his meridians and quickly transformed into a scarlet sword energy that began to flow rapidly, mixing with the Shangqing profound qi all throughout Xu Disheng’s body.

Waves of sharp pain began to wrack Xu Disheng’s body. The scarlet heart-ravaging sword energy suddenly erupted in his meridians!

Xu Disheng’s face turned pale. The Shangqing profound qi in his body was in complete chaos, unable to be controlled. His meridians were also a mess, and in some of the regions where the heart-ravaging sword energy was more concentrated, cracks had appeared in his meridians!

If it wasn’t for the Paramount Ancient Bell releasing a protective golden light throughout his entire body the very moment the heart-ravaging sword qi erupted, most of Xu Disheng’s meridians would probably already have ruptured!

“Oh? You actually managed to resist it,” Zhang Yangui said, sounding surprised. He activated the array diagram in his palm once more, and unexpectedly… dozens of scarlet-colored phantom images of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword appeared, each one looking just like the one from before!

Just now, there was only a single phantom image of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword, and Xu Disheng was already practically unable to resist. If he let that many phantom images enter his body, he might not even leave a corpse behind.

Even though Cloud Stream Spirit Master was floating in the sky, standing guard, and could save Xu Disheng from a moment of crisis, he would still have lost the match at that point.

Meanwhile, the Jade Water True Sword was still floating in the middle of the air, releasing endless streaks of sharp, icy blue sword light, which was firmly trapping the Fierce Specter stage ghost in a massive orb of sword energy. From time to time, ear-splitting shrieks of agony rang out from inside. Clearly, the Fierce Specter stage ghost had no way of struggling free of its binds.

Zhang Yangui casually waved his hand, and the dozens of small phantom images of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword all disappeared at the same time. An instant later, they all appeared above Xu Disheng’s head!

Zhang Yangui closed his left hand. When he opened it once more, there was a lick of blazing heartflame in his palm. He poured energy into the heartflame, and it shot out of his hand, smoldering fiercely as it rose into the air!

This was Red Lotus Primordial Lord’s famous spell, the Red Lotus Heartflame.

In just a few breaths of time, Xu Disheng was already surrounded on all sides in a serious predicament, teetering on the brink of defeat!

Zhang Yangui went pretty easy against the other disciples he fought against, but against Xu Disheng, he immediately went all out, unleashing a slew of extremely powerful Magic Treasures and techniques against him!

“Zhang Yangui is so strong!”

“Is this his true strength?”

“With just a wave of his hand, he trapped that ghost rivaling a Dao Foundation stage cultivator and unleashed the Heart Ravaging Sword Array. It’s completely ethereal and incorporeal, and the swords, which are made from profound qi, are controlled by the array. What can Xu Disheng even do against that?!”

“His reputation as the rank 1 genius at the Sea of Qi division is clearly not in vain!”

“I thought it would be an exciting fight. Who could have expected that it would be this boring in the end?”

Many people thought that the match was already over when they saw Zhang Yangui unleash dozens of phantom images of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword. No one could believe that Xu Disheng would be able to make it through such a powerful attack.

Xu Disheng looked up at the closely dotted phantom images of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword hanging above his head, on the verge of plummeting down towards him. His thoughts began to spin faster than lightning.

After entering the meridians, these phantom images would transform into scarlet sword energy and then meld with his Shangqing profound qi. Then, it would erupt forth and destroy his meridians.

If this sword energy was able to blend with Shangqing profound qi, then wasn’t its original nature also profound qi?

The White Heron Robe was unable to block these phantom images at all. Xu Disheng didn’t hesitate and immediately used a move that he hadn’t used in a long time, the Shangqing Incantation!

The golden Paramount Ancient Bell began to revolve madly, causing Shangqing profound qi to surge from within, forming a massive shield of profound qi in front of himself!

Right as the shield formed, dozens of flashes of scarlet radiance burst out as the phantom images of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword stabbed downwards!

BOOM!

A deafening explosion rippled out. Xu Disheng’s face was pale as he continued to crazily revolve the Paramount Ancient Bell to maintain the integrity of the shield.

“What is that? The most basic Shangqing Incantation?”

“He saw through the true nature of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword!”

“Xu Disheng’s profound law foundation is so mysterious! He’s able to maintain such a massive amount of consumption for so long!”

Countless peoples’ expressions changed dramatically as they watched Xu Disheng use a mere Shangqing Incantation to form a basic shield of profound qi to block the unbeatable, explosive power of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword. None of them dared to believe their eyes.

Two breaths of time later, the dozens of sword lights formed from the phantom images of the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword were completely routed. Just as Xu Disheng let the profound qi shield fade away, a blazing conflagration of Red Lotus Heartflame appeared before his eyes, wrapping him up in its fiery embrace.

Before Xu Disheng could even react, he was trapped in the red-hot prison of the Red Lotus Heartflame, causing agonizing pain to wrack his entire body!

The Red Lotus Heartflame was capable of burning the mind, body, and soul.

Clearly, Zhang Yangui had only cultivated it to the ‘burning the body’ level. But even just that elicited a pain that was worse than death, far worse than any ordinary person could bear.
