First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 158: One Sword to Kill!

[Combat Skill: "Supreme Clear Sword Technique" Profound Mastery (5120/16000)]

Shen Mo made his move, using the strongest sword technique from the Supreme Clear Sword Technique!

With his profound mastery of swordsmanship, he infused it with the eerie underworld fire, as well as the power of sword intent, heavenly destiny, spiritual secrets, and physical strength, making the sword qi even more majestic and ferocious.

It carried an unstoppable and invincible sharpness. Ignoring the surging poisonous water, it directly slashed towards Hong Jue, the hermit.

Seeing the terrifying sword qi approaching, he revealed a look of horror.

The water-shaped artifact that combined offense and defense had already been used by him, intending to refine Shen Mo to death with poison.

But it was unable to eliminate this vast sword qi.

However, Hong Jue, who had experienced countless battles, had a very fast reaction.

He quickly summoned a piece of profound iron giant shield from his Qiankun Bag. With a loud rumble, it stood in front of him, completely blocking him from view.

This profound iron giant shield was even wider than the black coffin on the back of a disciple from the Ghost Corpse Sect.

Its thickness reached an astonishing foot, or more visually, the length of an average person's head and neck combined.

Even with ordinary material, such thickness could withstand most of the sword qi.

Not to mention that this shield was specially crafted by a weapon refiner and was not an ordinary soldier, but a Profound Grade lower-tier artifact.

Hong Jue was confident that even a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect would not be able to break through this giant shield with a single sword!

Indeed, his estimation was not unfounded.

If it were Peng Chen Shu, who was standing beside him, even if he exerted all his strength, he could only cut through half of the giant shield.

Therefore, whether it was Peng Chen Shu or the onlooker cultivators who were watching from a distance, they all believed that with this giant shield's protection, Shen Mo's terrifying sword would not be able to achieve anything.

Unfortunately, they couldn't comprehend the transformation that occurred when one reached the state of "Profound Mastery" in a divine technique and combat skill.

In the next instant.

The scene that appeared not only shocked everyone, but also filled Hong Jue with despair.

"Puchi!"

The sword light easily cut through the profound iron giant shield like a red-hot iron piece slicing through snow, and it slashed through Hong Jue's body, passing through him from behind.

The remaining sword light didn't stop there.

It extended for hundreds of zhang before finally sinking into the ground, leaving behind a deep and long sword mark.

"Crack!"

The profound iron giant shield split into two and crashed to the ground with a loud noise.

Revealing Hong Jue, who was hiding behind the giant shield!

At the same time.

The poisonous water that Hong Jue had previously released engulfed Shen Mo, who paid no attention to it, and sent him flying.

"Cough, cough!"

In the astonished and incredulous gaze of Hong Jue, Shen Mo climbed up from the ground and patted the remnants of his robe that had been corroded by the poisonous water on his chest.

"Why... aren't you dead? How could you not be dead!" Hong Jue shouted in a mournful voice, filled with despair and indignation.

He had been struck by the sword qi, leaving a terrifying and gruesome blood mark from his left shoulder to his right leg, completely severed into two.

However, he had cultivated the "Ten Thousand Poisons Transforming into Water Technique" to a high level.

The spiritual power similar to murky poison water sealed off all the wounds on his body, including flesh, meridians, organs, and everything else.

Of course, even as a Profound Grade technique, no matter how profound it was, it couldn't keep a person whose body had been severed in two from dying. It only temporarily sealed off his fading vitality.

Unless he had top-grade pills or rare treasures that could forcefully heal such terrifying sword wounds, it was impossible.

But pills and treasures of this level were fought over even by Spirit Sea Realm experts or even Nascent Soul old monsters.

Hong Jue was only at the seventh stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, how could he possess them?

His death was already predetermined.

He just wanted to witness the death of his enemy with his own eyes before he died!

"If your Divine Ability of poisonous water was at its peak, perhaps I would still have some fear. But now, heh..."

Shen Mo took off his tattered outer robe, revealing the Qinghun magic robe underneath.

After being entangled in the Big Dipper Seven Stars Sword Formation, the toxicity of the poison water has weakened!

After hitting Shen Mo, the outer layer of his ordinary clothes was directly corroded into tatters by the poison water.

However, when the poison water invaded, it was blocked by the Qinghun magic treasure by about seventy percent, and the remaining twenty to thirty percent passed through the Red Carp Inner Armor, reducing it by another ten to fifteen percent.

In the end, only about ten percent of the poison water truly corroded Shen Mo's flesh.

His body cultivation technique, "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body," has invested a large amount of resources.

Countless corpses of monster cultivators, demon pills, and spiritual souls were used to cultivate Shen Mo's powerful physique, resembling that of a dragon and an elephant.

If it continues to be corroded and damaged by the poison water, it would be better to abandon the "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" and directly switch to another body cultivation technique!

Of course, the poison water training of Hong Jue, the hermit, was not completely ineffective.

A faint trace of true meaning condensed in the poison water.

Targeting the divine soul of living beings: poisoning and corroding.

Shen Mo has always been weak in protecting his divine soul.

Therefore, he was injured in his divine soul for a moment of carelessness, but fortunately, this trace of true meaning was not too strong, and he would be able to recover after one or two days of rest.

Now, he just felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable.

"Hehe~"

The turbid spiritual power could no longer seal Hong Jue's injuries, and dirty blood kept flowing out of the sword wounds.

In the intense resentment, anger, and fear, Hong Jue used the remaining spiritual power to throw the reduced poison water training, which had shrunk to about ten feet, away.

At the same time, he used a sound transmission talisman to quickly say something.

Shen Mo wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

"Go and see where that water flow, which looks like a technique and a magic weapon, flew to."

Shen Mo shook the Soul Refining Banner and summoned the Ghost Bride, instructing her to track the poison water training that Hong Jue had sent away.

Shaking it again.

Blood light surged on the banner, and the evil spirit entangled Hong Jue's dying body, starting to refine it.

It was also fortunate that the spiritual power of the poison water in his body was quite extraordinary, allowing him to hold on until now without completely dying.

Otherwise, if he died, the Soul Refining Banner would not be able to refine him either.

In the midst of his resentful curses, the Soul Refining Banner captured his soul, adding another general to it!

"Hiss!"

"Killing and capturing souls, this guy is just as ruthless as Hong Jue."

"Shh~ Speak softly, don't let him hear. We can't afford to provoke such a ruthless person."

"He came with the disciples of Tianjian Sect, but he's not wearing the attire of a sect disciple. I wonder where he comes from?"

"Judging from his style of doing things, he is indeed quite ruthless. He shouldn't be a demonic cultivator. Otherwise, the disciples of Tianjian Sect wouldn't be so close to him."

"Hard to say..."

The onlookers whispered to each other, looking at Shen Mo with fear and dread in their eyes.

Even Peng Chen Shu, who had been idly watching, felt a bit uneasy.

He respected Shen Mo for his extraordinary abilities and was shocked by his ruthless methods.

However, because he knew that Shen Mo was a disciple of Linjiang Sect and had traveled with them all the way, he was relatively familiar with him.

Therefore, Peng Chen Shu did not feel any fear.

"Shen Junior Brother..."

Just as Peng Chen Shu was about to say something, Shen Mo suddenly felt something and looked up into the distance.

He saw the Ghost Bride swiftly flying back in an extremely ghostly manner.

Behind her was a figure riding a flying sword.

It was a plump woman, rushing over on the flying sword.

She was not chasing after the Ghost Bride, but leading something towards this direction.

Something that even the Ghost Bride felt fearful of.
