Chapter 127 - 127: Clash of the Bodies
“So what? As long as I kill you, the other Transcendents won’t be able to escape.”
Mei Changge pointed his spear at Shan and said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly rushed out, and a wisp of flames wrapped around the bone spear.
“Such arrogance!”
When Shan heard Mei Changge’s words, he could not help but sneer. Looking at the approaching Mei Changge, vines crawled out and wrapped around his body.
“Vine armor?”
Mei Changge stabbed his spear at the foe’s chest.
Bang!
“Is that all you’ve got?”
Shan did not move, allowing Mei Changge’s spear to stab his chest.
It’s tough!
Mei Changge observed that the spear couldn’t penetrate, and even the flames on the spear had minimal effect. His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Entangle! ”
Shan took the chance to grab Mei Changge’s bone spear. Then, an emerald-green vine wrapped around Mei Changge along the bone spear.
“Nine Yang Spirit Fire!”
Boom!
The flames on the spear surged as if fueled by gasoline. Within a moment, the vines were consumed by the flames, transforming into black remnants.
“Vine Imprisonment!”
When Shan witnessed the vines succumbing to the fiery blaze, his heart skipped a beat. Subsequently, a multitude of vines burst forth from his palm, coalescing into a vast net of entwining foliage that enveloped Mei Changge.
“Is that all you’ve got?”
Mei Changge said the same thing to Shan. Shortly after, fire lotus flowers burned around him.
As the vines drew near, one of the lotus flowers would ensnare them and promptly reduce them to black remnants.
While Mei Changge clashed with Shan, Xu Chu led the Mystic Yang soldiers on the ground, encircling the Second Elder with the Mystic Yang Formation.
That’s strange. How can a Transcendent be this weak?
Xu Chu furrowed his brow and swung his saber at the Second Elder. Ultimately, the Second Elder was propelled backward by his strike as if unable to withstand his might.
“No, he’s acting!”
Xu Chu’s eyes lit up.
Even though he was uncertain about the Transcendent’s intentions, it didn’t deter him from following suit. As long as he didn’t disrupt their leader, he was free to act as he saw fit.
Thinking of this, Xu Chu could not help but soften his grip. The two of them were evenly matched.
When the lord’s done with your leader, you won’t be able to escape either!
Although Xu Chu was acting along, he was also stopping the Transcendent from escaping. The Mystic Yang Formation continued to envelop the foe.
On the other side, Xu Ding activated the Howling Moon Array with the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry and enveloped the three Transcendents.
The wolf howls resounded in an intimidating crescendo. All the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry units converged, and successive waves of power seamlessly merged into his body.
Strength, spiritual energy, and even the resolute willpower unique to the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry all converged within Xu Ding’s body.
For a moment, Xu Ding completely suppressed the three Transcendents.
As for Ye Yan, the presence of the Buddha’s Rage Lotus kept the three Transcendents from diverting their attention. Any lapse in their focus would surely result in them being impaled by the silver needles.
“Die, human!”
Shan’s face was filled with anger. Every vine was burned by Mei Changge’s fire lotus, making him feel powerless.
“Green Vine Body!”
With a furious roar, the vines on Shan began to transform. A green light completely enveloped him, and a dazzling green light appeared on his armor.
“Finally using your divine arts?”
When Mei Changge saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Although he had been suppressing Shan’s vines, his attacks were not very effective.
The vines appeared to possess a life of their own. Even when burnt, they continued to obstruct his assaults once the spear made its thrust.
“In that case, I don’t have to hold back anymore!”
Mei Changge made up his mind and used the willpower lotus in his mind to communicate with the Blessed Land’s mark.
“White Jade Spirit Body!”
In a split second, Mei Changge’s skin took on the appearance of white jade, and his entire body seemed to have metamorphosed into this gleaming material.
Mysterious, noble, and cold.
The three temperaments fused together to produce a powerful aura.
In Mei Changge’s eyes, there were two white lotuses spinning as if they were hinting at something.
“Human, die!”
Shan was wrapped entirely in green vine armor, and there were three vines behind him that swayed like tails.
He charged at Mei Changge.
“Attack!”
Mei Changge tightened his grip on the spear and stabbed at Shan’s chest again.
Swish!
Bang!
This time, with the boost from the White Jade Spirit Body, his strength surged dramatically. While it didn’t puncture Shan’s green vine armor, it did leave faint marks upon it.
Bang!
Mei Changge was sent flying by a green vine, but he quickly stabilized himself in the air.
“Are the tails for attacking?”
Mei Changge’s eyes were solemn as he looked at the tails behind Shan. One of them had just struck him.
“Interesting.”
Mei Changge’s eyes were filled with excitement. Then, he dashed forward again, gripping the bone spear in his left hand. Flames surged out of his left palm and instantly enveloped the entire bone spear.
The spiritual energy in his body circulated, and the Nine Yang Spiritual Fire engulfed the entire bone spear.
“Attack!”
With a ferocious roar, the vines trailing behind Shan thrashed like whips. He balled his fists and launched an assault on Mei Changge.
Bang!
Bang!
The bone spear clashed against the vines. While the Nine Yang Spirit Fire occasionally struck Shan, it left only scorched marks and failed to inflict significant injuries.
Mei Changge had the White Jade Spirit Body and was also unharmed.
“Is this all you’ve got? I’m not even injured!”
“You didn’t hurt me either!”
Mei Changge said indifferently and the bone spear in his hand stabbed out from time to time.
Although Mei Changge’s clothes were a little tattered, there were no injuries on the surface.
As for Shan’s vine armor, it was adorned with blackened, scorched marks.
In the forest, Wan Chuan had a smile as he watched Mei Changge fight. He nodded slightly.
“Not bad. He will probably be able to wipe out the Forest race soon.”
As long as Mei Changge found Shan’s flaw, this battle would be over. Unfortunately, Mei Changge had yet to find it.
“Looks like I can go back after this battle is over.”
“I wonder if Elder Lin wants me to be a teacher or continue to manage the Treasure Pavilion.”
As Wan Chuan watched Mei Changge’s battle, he thought about what Lin Lei would ask him to do when he returned.
Mei Changge did not know that Wan Chuan had thought of leaving. At that moment, he stared at Shan, his eyes flickering.
The White Jade Spirit Body can’t last long. I have to deal with him as soon as possible!
Huh?
Suddenly, Mei Changge noticed that although Shan was protected by the vine armor, there was clearly some sweat on the latter’s face.
“Is he feeling warm?”
“I have found it!”
A glint flashed across Mei Changge’s eyes. Then, the spiritual energy in his body circulated rapidly, and a large number of fire lotus flowers appeared around him.
“You’ve already endured the three suns, but have you ever bathed in flames?!”
As he spoke, a large number of fire lotuses surrounded Shan.
“Damn it!”
Shan’s expression changed. He wanted to quickly retreat, but it was too late. All the lotus flowers had completely surrounded him.
The temperature of the flames made him feel even more uncomfortable.
It felt as if half of the water in his body had evaporated, momentarily causing his heart to skip a beat.
Boom!
A large number of fire lotus flowers exploded around Shan, and ferocious flames enveloped him.
In an instant, it was like a sun that attracted everyone’s attention.
“Patriarch!”
“Patriarch!”
The few elders who were entangled by Ye Yan and Xu Ding could not help but shout.
“Now’s the chance!”
Ye Yan’s eyes flickered. He retrieved a special Buddha’s Rage Lotus and threw it at the three Transcendents.
The silver needles with white frost instantly pierced through two of them.
The frigid power altered their expressions, and the icy aura continued to sear within their bodies.
“Two down!”
Ye Yan chuckled, not expecting to stumble upon an unexpected advantage. Nevertheless, he shifted his gaze in Mei Changge’s direction.
On the other side, Xu Ding also seized the moment when one of the Transcendents was distracted and slashed one of them.
Without giving him a chance to react, he killed the Transcendent instantly.
“Not dead yet?”
Mei Changge sensed a weak aura in the flames. With a thought, he raised the bone spear and rushed into the flames.
The flames produced by the Nine Yang Spirit Fire were ineffective against him.
Gazing at Shan, who had dwindled in size amid the flames, the vine armor on his body became dim as though it had been drained of power.
“Father!”
“How dare you!”
Suddenly, two voices sounded. One was shrill, and the other was filled with anger.
A black palm print swiftly lunged toward Mei Changge as though a malevolent obsidian hand sought to crush him to oblivion.
“White Jade Spirit Body!”
Mei Changge’s expression changed. He mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and augmented it all on his divine arts, allowing the White Jade Spirit Body to reach its limit.
Whoosh!
However, before the black palm could strike Mei Changge, a purple sword beam blocked the attack.
“Mandrill race?”
Wan Chuan held a long sword in his hand and stood steadily in front of Mei Changge. His eyes were fixed on the palace below.
Mei Changge could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw Wan Chuan suddenly appear.
He felt the aura of death under the black palm just now. If it hit him, he would probably be severely injured.
“So it’s the Purple River Sword King.”
A figure flew out of the palace below, followed by a figure that Mei Changge was familiar with.
“Since you’ve heard of me, it appears you’re familiar with who I am. So, are you ready to fight?”
Wan Chuan’s tone was calm as he looked at the Mandrill race member. Mei Changge’s gaze also landed on the Mandrill race member.
He noticed that the Mandrill race bore a striking resemblance to the Forest race in terms of appearance. They shared a brownish-yellow skin tone but appeared considerably taller than the Forest race.
The Mandrill race member was estimated to be more than two meters tall..
