Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 281 - 236: Joining Forces

Inside the room, Cai Huang’s expression flickered uncertainly.

At this moment, his breath had only recovered to about seventy percent.

Even at full strength, he knew he was no match for Jiao Zhu.

But Cai Huang was not completely oblivious to the events outside the window; he perceived the clash of power between Wu Hen and Jiao Zhu.

Unexpectedly to Cai Huang, Wu Hen managed to battle Jiao Zhu for so long without losing the upper hand; the strength he displayed was already very close to his own, even though he was injured.

How could he not understand his own predicament? To not act was to die, but to act might give him a chance to live.

He just wanted to observe the situation a bit longer, as long as the situation seemed favorable to him.

However, Cai Ni didn’t give him a chance to observe; seeing her thin sword about to pierce into a tender neck, Cai Huang finally couldn’t sit still.

He pushed open the door and waved his sleeve, dispersing the Holy Breath thin sword formed in Cai Ni’s hand.

To maintain his image, Cai Huang furrowed his brows and said, "You girl, truly think I’m cold-hearted and ruthless? Would he dare to provoke Jiao Zhu if it weren’t for my instructions?"

Cai Ni naturally wouldn’t believe such words; by that time, her situation had reached such a state that if she were with a normal man, her innocence would already be lost.

But having experienced this incident, Cai Ni had also become wiser, naturally continuing along with Cai Huang’s words.

"The Advanced Saint Technique I imparted to him can last a little longer, so what’s the rush?" Cai Huang said.

Imparted?

Cai Ni fell silent.

What imparting? It was clearly her brother who had comprehended it himself due to his extraordinary talent.

"Buzz!!!!"

Suddenly, the buildings outside lifted from the ground as the foundations detached from the earth’s surface.

A fierce Golden Wind swept through, grinding all these floating structures to dust, and not many of the servants dwelling nearby survived, all transforming into a mist of blood.

The only part of Cai Huang’s extensive courtyard and pavilions remaining was this inner courtyard protected by a Magic Realm; everywhere else was ruins, not even a single piece of debris remained intact.

Cai Huang looked up and saw Jiao Zhu approaching, his whole body erupting with intense flames, a golden blood-colored glow casting the sky as though it were ablaze like the sea, aside from that devastating golden blood magic wind, giant fiery mounds continued to fall from the cloud layers, smashing heavily into the area he lived in like real Flame Mountain!

All was reduced to nothingness; the surroundings turned into a sea of fire, and had it not been for the protection of the Magic Realm in this inner courtyard, he, Cai Huang, would have also been annihilated.

This was too much to bear!

Jiao Zhu truly regarded him as a weak, easily bullied dog.

Taking a step forward, Wu Hen’s imposing figure appeared in front of Jiao Zhu.

He clasped his hands together, forming a fist hammer, and heavily hammered down towards Jiao Zhu on the ground.

Jiao Zhu’s form drifted backward but was still shaken by the impact force, rolling awkwardly several times on the ground.

Wu Hen jumped up, catching up with this twisted old thief, and stomped viciously on Jiao Zhu like a naughty, wicked child.

Master Jiao Zhu no longer retreated, as his body suddenly became enveloped in surging Blood Flames, which wildly transformed into an Ancient Blood Lion! Unlike Jiao Liecheng, who transformed his qi into form, the Ancient Blood Lion that Jiao Zhu transformed into seemed more like a Demon Saint manifesting its true form, with claws as claws, fangs as fangs, and a body dense with blood energy as real as an Ancient Fierce Beast, somewhat possessing Qiong Qi’s dominance and wildness!

The Blood Lion, just as huge, pounced towards Wu Hen in the form of the Giant Golden Spirit, its terrifying maw aiming for his head!

But Wu Hen was an expert in fighting beasts, and he could still perform the Barbaric Ancient Battle Steps in this huge elephantine form.

He crossed his arms in front of him, and as the Ancient Blood Lion lunged at him, he bent backward and then used his arms to catch the lion’s lower jaw, flipping it over with a knee strike!

The Ancient Blood Lion lost its balance in the air, but all its flesh suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless Blood Crystal Particles. These particles rapidly reformed in mid-air, forming wings, talons, and a majestic and handsome head of a Holy Eagle!

The Blood-colored Holy Eagle flapped its wings, swirling back into attack, its sharp claws directly aiming for Wu Hen’s crown.

This time, Wu Hen couldn’t dodge in time, and the crown of the Giant Golden Spirit was cracked open, with Holy Breath gushing out like steam from inside.

"Such ferocious tactics, not on the same level as those of Jiao Liecheng at all!"

Wu Hen knew that his Giant Spirit Method had been broken. Having withstood such a long time against an invincible Master in the Heavenly Brilliance Realm, he was quite satisfied.

Taking advantage of the phase where the entire Method was about to disappear, Wu Hen also recklessly attacked the Blood-colored Holy Eagle transformed by Jiao Zhu, shattering his current Demon Saint form.

"Well done, you can step back now," Cai Huang, quite satisfied with Wu Hen’s performance, said.

Knowing this young man had such abilities, Cai Huang would not need to be so wary of Jiao Zhu, nor would he have to rush to break through his own limits, causing his blood vessels to block.

With the two of them cooperating, of course, they were stronger. Cai Huang once again completed an Advanced Saint Technique, which was the Earth Crust Sword Peak once performed by the Purple Robed Master!

The vigorous Holy Breath penetrated the earth, with Holy Power rooting like the roots of a thousand-year-old tree deep beneath the surface, stirring the Earth Veins!

Sword Peaks rose from the ground, majestic to the extreme; some even pierced the clouds, turning the vast territory of the Holy Sect at Red Port into a natural marvel created by a ghostly axe...

And the process encompassing the tearing of heaven and earth, soaring Sword Peaks, and fluctuating Earth Veins was quite terrifying, so much so that even the top experts of the Holy Sect in the Heavenly Light Realm scattered like birds in the woods.

Master Jiao Zhu, trapped by such power, also had nowhere to escape.

At first, he transformed into an Ancient Wolf, weaving through the exploding Earth Swords, but soon, this agile wolf was pierced by the rising Sword Peaks.

Next, Master Jiao Zhu transformed into a Blood Cloud Snake, taking advantage of its flexible and supple body. It fled amidst the wildly growing Earth Swords, this beast form allowing it to endure for a long time, but as the tearing force intensified, it too was shattered into countless blood-colored crystals.

The blood-colored crystals amid the rising Earth Crust Sword transformed into a Demon Whale that swam away, escaping the blockage of the Earth Crust Sword and allowing Jiao Zhu to successfully find a weak area in the entire Advanced Saint Technique’s power.

"What a waste, if Xin Feng had implemented it, I would have been a bloody mess by now, but you only learned a half-finished product!" Master Jiao Zhu couldn’t help sneering, full of disdain for Cai Huang.

The two Masters, separated by rugged terrain, with mountain-like Earth Veins standing between them, could still see each other across the giant mountain range!
