Chapter 145: Killing the Grandmaster

But it's too late.

Swish!
The knife flashed, and in the blink of an eye it was beside Qiu Tianxi.

After activating the Demon Heart Transmission and instantly exploding the four organs, Cao Ze's own strength was no weaker than Qiu Tianxi's, and was even slightly stronger. Naturally, he regained control of the situation of heaven and earth. With the perfect Wind Shadow Step activated, Qiu Tianxi could not escape at all.

Since he couldn't run away, Qiu Tianxi was not in a hurry and swung his whip to fight back.

He ran out of caution, but he had the confidence not to run!
This time, the Meteoric Blade struggled to swing away the long whip and moved forward, but was still blocked by the five-clawed golden dragon three feet in front of Qiu Tianxi.

But Cao Ze had already activated the Wind Shadow Step, changed his body shape, and slashed again.

Qiu Tianxi waved his whip to block again!
Finally, Cao Ze realized his original idea. He suppressed Qiu Tianxi and accumulated the power of the Snow Falling Blade step by step.

Qiu Tianxi is like a small boat in a storm, swaying in the wind and rain but always standing firm. It seems that he is at a disadvantage, but in fact he has already grasped victory.

He had already seen blood oozing from the boy's mouth and nose.

Such a terrifying explosive move would definitely not last long, but his Dragon God protection could only last for a long time.

He was right. Cao Ze really couldn't hold on for too long.

But what he didn't know was that the situation of the world around him had undergone earth-shaking changes!
Cao Ze felt like his body was about to burst. His internal organs were working like wild horses. The power of heaven and earth poured into his body like a tide, and after being hastily refined, it was released with his attacks.

He applied the secret technique of Demon Heart Ferry to the five internal organs, and transplanted the secret technique developed by the Zhao family on the Wood Spirit Core to the other four internal organs.

After activating the secret technique, the power he could unleash had already exceeded 30%, and reached a terrifying three times!
And because of the existence of the Five Elements Internal Refining Technique, the strength of his five internal organs far exceeds that of ordinary warriors. After forming a five-element cycle, the violent power after the secret technique was stimulated was instead guided, and the destructive power became a part of the cycle, increasing the power of the secret technique and reducing its destructive power.

The power of this secret technique has increased tenfold, but the side effects have been greatly reduced and it can last longer.

Unfortunately, his Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique was still lacking a link. At this time, his spleen had begun to bleed and was seriously injured.

The intense pain stimulated Cao Ze's nerves, but the knife in his hand was very steady, still firmly suppressing Qiu Tianxi.

Soon, Qiu Tianxi was surrounded by the power of heaven and earth.

Cao Ze's eyes were bloodshot, his clothes had been stained blood red, and his whole body was covered in blood. He looked wet as if he had just walked out of a pool of blood, like a devil who had just crawled out of hell!
"almost!"

Cao Ze's back was slightly bent, like an old farmer who could not bear the burden, or like a child holding an exaggeratedly large knife.

The great power of heaven and earth condensing around him was almost beyond his limit.

Qiu Tianxi looked solemn. He knew that Cao Ze was already at the end of his strength. The more it was at this time, the more vigilant he needed to be.

boom!
The next moment, all the lines around suddenly converged, just like throwing gunpowder into a closed bottle, then igniting them, and finally exploding!

The pure explosive power turned into a cold sword light, and it seemed that even the sky and the earth were split in half by this sword, leaving a dark mark in the air that did not dissipate for a long time.

Qiu Tianxi's pupils shrank slightly.

This kid can actually make such a slash!

Unfortunately, he was prepared.

The long whip in his hand turned, and like a circling dragon, a vortex formed in front of him, which also caused the lines of the surrounding heaven and earth to circle.

At the same time, a phantom with a human head and a snake body appeared on Qiu Tianxi's body. The phantom was shrinking rapidly, and finally, when it was only an inch in size, it turned into a stream of light and sank into Qiu Tianxi's forehead.

In an instant, Qiu Tianxi's aura surged, and the power of heaven and earth, which had been compressed into a ball, suddenly expanded outward a lot.

Cao Ze has a secret technique to fight with all his might, so how could Qiu Tianxi not have it too?

"Goddess of the spirit world!"

Puff puff……

The knife light came into contact with the long whip, slowly and firmly rolling over the vortex created by the long whip.

Qiu Tianxi calmly let go of the whip handle, a golden light shone from his forehead, and a beam of light emerged from his forehead, rushing towards the sword light swung by Cao Ze like thunder.

All the lights dimmed at this moment, and it seemed as if this golden light was the only source of light between heaven and earth. The power of this golden beam of light was no weaker than Cao Ze's sword!
Qiu Tianxi's condition was not good either. Since it was an explosive secret technique, there would naturally be side effects. The spirit summoning technique was a huge burden on his body and mind.

However, his desperate attack using the magic of summoning spirits was only as effective as Cao Ze's sword strike.

But a smile appeared on his face. He knew that as long as he could block Cao Ze's attack, the next step would be his home court.

But at this moment, Qiu Tianxi's face suddenly changed. He seemed to hear screams one after another in his ears. The next moment, his head began to buzz and suddenly everything went blank, as if his soul was temporarily pulled out of his body.

puff!
The golden beam of light that lost control suddenly died down and was easily split in half by Cao Ze's sword.

The knife flashed straight towards Qiu Tianxi.

At this time, a five-clawed golden dragon emerged. Its body was already covered with cracks, but it still held its head high. Its cold eyes ignored the sword light that changed the color of the sky and the earth, and it swung its claws to meet the attack without hesitation.

The result was no surprise; the already wounded five-clawed golden dragon was cut in half.

But even with this brief obstruction, Qiu Tianxi had recovered from his dizziness. When the knife was three inches away from his forehead, another golden light burst out.

Boom...Boom...

A violent explosion sounded, the sea water exploded, and then instantly evaporated into water vapor in the terrifying energy collision, and the entire sea area was shrouded in a thick fog that suddenly appeared.

The humid air entered his lungs through his breath, causing spasms in his internal organs. Cao Ze felt as if he had been thrown into a blender, and every part of his body was in pain.

His internal organs had long been in ruins, full of holes, and his spleen was almost ruptured. If it weren't for the rich vitality nourishment of the wood spirit core, Cao Ze would probably have been dead for a long time.

Even the brain felt as if it was mixed with millions of needles, causing constant waves of stabbing pains, and even the view of the sea became blurry and flickering.

Although the fog blocked the view, it could not hide the sea view.

Qiu Tianxi is not dead yet!

Although he wanted to lie down and rest right now, he knew that he couldn't.

With tired steps and dragging his broken body, he walked forward.

Soon, he saw the figure in front of him.

Qiu Tianxi was not much better than him. His entire face was covered in blood, with tender red flesh faintly visible. His eyes were dull and his soul seemed to be dead.

Swish!
Take advantage of his weakness to kill him. He stepped forward quickly and swung the Meteoric Blade with all his strength.

This knife is full of pure power!

At this time, Cao Ze had already been seriously injured and could not even maintain his vision over the sea, let alone mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

At the moment when the Falling Star Knife reached his body, Qiu Tianxi's dull eyes suddenly became lively. He raised his left hand to grab the knife and punched Cao Ze's head with his right hand.

Obviously, he is unable to mobilize the overall situation of heaven and earth for the time being.

Bang!
Cao Ze raised his left hand to block the punch.

The five fingers of Qiu Tianxi's left hand were like pincers, grabbing the blade of the Meteorite Knife.

The two men had rich combat experience. Even though they could not mobilize the power of heaven and earth, they could still fight back and forth relying only on their physical strength. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged dozens of moves.

Cao Ze was not in a hurry. The dense water vapor around him sank into the kidney lake and liver through his breathing and pores. At this time, the fog had dissipated, and the sun shone on his body, warm and cozy. The wood spirit core was running, and the rich vitality energy flowed into the heart, nourishing the heart to beat vigorously.

The five elements circulated again, and wisps of energy were emanating, slowly repairing his broken body.

This is the power of the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique.

The sky is vast and the earth is vast, but there is no place that does not contain the power of the Five Elements. Wherever there is the power of the Five Elements, it is Cao Ze’s main battlefield!

Qiu Tianxi seemed to have noticed something and started to get impatient.

However, Cao Ze seized the opportunity and stabbed Qiu Tianxi in the chest.

Like piercing into tough wood, the Meteoric Blade moved forward with difficulty and finally successfully pierced through Qiu Tianxi's body.

But at this time, Qiu Tianxi had already grabbed Cao Ze's right hand with his left hand.

"Slippery boy!"

Qiu Tianxi's bloody face showed a bloody expression, which vaguely showed the hideousness.

He took the knife on purpose and avoided the vital points at the last moment. Cao Ze's Wind Shadow Step had caused him so much trouble that he had been at a disadvantage, but now, he had caught this slippery loach!
The right fist turned into an afterimage and quickly hit Cao Ze who was unable to escape.

He wanted to punch this kid into pieces!
However, Cao Ze also had a smile on his face.

Qiu Tianxi's right fist froze in mid-air. He felt the strength in his body quickly draining away. It was only at this moment that a piercing pain came from his chest.

"what happens?"

Qiu Tianxi lowered his head and looked at his chest with difficulty.

Only then did he realize that the Meteorite Knife in Cao Ze's hand had broken into countless tiny pieces, which exploded in his chest.

Although he avoided the vital parts, the fragments still pierced his heart.

These fragments swept through his internal organs like a storm. His chest had become like a sieve. He could even see the sunlight coming from his back, casting tiny beams of light in front of him because of the Tyndall effect.

There is still blood rising in the light column...

With such serious injuries, even a master of blood refining would surely die!
Bang!
Qiu Tianxi smashed heavily into the sea like pushing down a golden mountain or overturning a jade pillar.

He is indeed a master, so hard to kill!

Cao Ze sighed, and then became a little excited.

He actually killed a grandmaster head-on!
He didn't know how the progress was on Yue Lingke's side, but when he returned this time, he had already obtained the Earth Soul Crystal!

He took a strong breath and walked forward, searching Qiu Tianxi's body for a while. After making sure that there was nothing missing, he closed his eyes and fell into the sea.

Without deliberately controlling his strength, the sea water naturally could not support him, and the sleeping Cao Ze sank to the bottom of the sea like a stone.

The five elements circulation in the body started to run automatically, and the rich water force in the surrounding sea water penetrated into Cao Ze's body through his pores, nourishing his broken body.

……

In the sea area where the Hong Xing was located, a figure quickly passed through the sea and headed straight for the Hong Xing.

Yue Lingke was holding Si Zhongyu's head, his white robe slightly torn, and he looked at the peaceful Hongxing with some surprise.

Since Qiu Tianxi did not come to rescue Si Zhongyu, he must have come to Hong Xing Hao. So she risked getting injured to quickly deal with Si Zhongyu, and then rushed back without stopping, only to see such a peaceful scene?
"Master Yue is back!"

Seeing the head in Yue Lingke's hand, everyone on the Hong Xing couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited.

Even several half-step grandmasters were looking forward to the credit of besieging and killing the grandmaster.

Yue Lingke glanced around the boat and his expression became gloomy.

She didn't see Cao Ze!
Throwing the head casually to others, Yue Lingke quickly returned to the captain's room.

Red apricots naturally followed closely.

"what?"

"Did he go to intercept Qiu Tianxi?"

Yue Lingke's heart tightened. She had originally wanted Cao Ze and the elites of the four major families to resist Qiu Tianxi together. As long as they could hold them off for a while until she came back, it would be enough.

I didn't expect Cao Ze to be so reckless.

His fighting ability is indeed impressive, but he is still far from being able to face the Grandmaster head-on.

Whoosh!
The next moment, Yue Lingke turned into a shadow and shot away into the distance.

Two hours later, Yue Lingke returned to the captain's room again.

It is not easy to find a person in the vast ocean. All traces will be quickly submerged by the sea water and decomposed by the creatures in the sea...

"idiot!"

Yue Lingke couldn't help but curse.

It was the first time that Hong Xing saw the young lady get so angry. Even when she had narrowly escaped death last time, the young lady had always maintained an indifferent attitude.

She was also worried about Cao Ze, but they had to go back.

The fact that Yue Lingke went to sea could not be kept secret for too long.

Furthermore, this was a trap set for Yue Lingke. If they stayed in the depths of the East China Sea for too long, they would probably be surrounded and killed by the masters of the Dragon God Temple. Then, everyone would be in danger.

"He has a special water control method. Even if he can't defeat him in the sea, escaping shouldn't be a problem."

Hong Xing thought of Cao Ze’s performance when he was chasing Zhao Chengxun.

In her opinion, Cao Ze was not a reckless person. The most likely possibility was that Cao Ze used his agility in the water to lead Qiu Tianxi away, but he led him too far away and he could not come back for a while.

Yue Lingke nodded, and she came back to her senses from her anger. After so many years of contact, she knew that Cao Ze was not an impulsive person, so Hong Xing’s guess should be correct. Cao Ze just used the power of controlling water to lure Qiu Tianxi away.

This is a reasonable guess. How could Cao Ze be so stupid as to confront a true master head-on?

If that were true, he would have died long ago, and Qiu Tianxi would have come to hunt down the Hong Xing Hao.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She seemed to have never lost her composure like this before.

Now not only can they not help Cao Ze here, but they might also attract the Grand Master of Dragon God Temple, putting all of them, including Cao Ze, into an even more dangerous situation.

……

In the East China Sea, tens of kilometers deep in the sea, a deep-sea dream fish roams on the dark seabed, occasionally rushing into the mud on the seabed, looking for microorganisms and minerals that can be used as food.

Suddenly, as it rushed into the seabed again, its eyes lit up. A ball of light emitting colorful light was turned out from the mud, blinding its fish eyes.

The next moment, the colorful light suddenly disappeared, and the seabed returned to darkness again.

The deep-sea dream fish instinctively sensed danger, jumped back, and flew away wagging its tail.

In the darkness, Cao Ze opened his eyes and the seabed lit up again!
