Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 551 - 47: Slaying Su Ling (Part 2)

"Run away, dream on!"

Seeing "Zhang Xuan" fleeing in the opposite direction, Su Ling indeed fell for the trap.

As a good hand at military strategy, he often encountered fleeing enemy scenes, and with proper judgment, he could often achieve unexpected results.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan was suddenly enduring the full force of many experts’ attacks, his body already injured, and as he rushed into the distance, it was obvious he intended to break through the encirclement and then launch a deliberate counterattack.

He must not succeed, or else, trying to kill him again would not be so easy.

Thinking of this, without a moment’s hesitation, he lifted the Breaking Army Battle Soul Spear and chased closely behind, like a bright meteor.

The Great General’s Ultimate Skill, one will achieve only through merit!

In perfect harmony with his spear, he pursued relentlessly over thousands of miles, to the death.

He had used this move to slay several experts of the same level before, and despite Zhang Xuan hiding within the tortoise shell of the Xuanyuan War Chariot, it shouldn’t be too difficult to kill.

As the spear qi soared like a dragon, just as he was about to catch up with the opponent, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and his senses seemed to be trapped within a special illusion.

This illusion seemed like a prison that held criminals, where no matter how hard one struggled, there was no escape.

"This is... a Soul Illusion Realm? This Zhang Xuan was hiding his true strength... Damn it!"

Su Ling felt his heart sink to the bottom of a lake.

For a powerhouse of his level, this situation indicated that the opponent’s soul energy was at least a level higher. This person had deliberately concealed his true power.

In usual circumstances, encountering such a situation, one could just prepare measures and countermeasures as needed, but during a life-and-death confrontation, even the slightest misjudgment could lead to an irreparable disaster.

"Myriad Bones Withering and Flourishing!"

Realizing that he couldn’t break the illusion, and might die here, Su Ling’s Breaking Army Battle Soul Spear swept fiercely, impervious to any liquid.

Great General’s Ultimate Skill, Myriad Bones Withering and Flourishing!

This move could create a special field belonging to oneself, impervious to any soul or physical attacks.

He reacted swiftly, with superb combat skill, but could never have imagined that those lying in ambush ahead had already anticipated every possibility.

"Defect!"

Hidden in the Phantasm Space, Zhang Xuan lightly murmured, exposing the defects of the Myriad Bones Withering and Flourishing move before him.

Except for the Ultimate Skills of the First Level Destiny, all cultivation methods have defects, and this move was no exception. While appearing flawless, there were always flaws that appeared during flickering movements.

"Break!"

With a soft call in his mind, a sword qi penetrated the light sphere, exploiting a flaw, piercing straight towards Su Ling’s forehead.

When the quills of a hedgehog rise, its body is at its weakest; similarly, when Myriad Bones Withering and Flourishing appears impenetrable, all its strength is concentrated externally. Once the outside is breached, the inside loses all defense too.

Puchi!

The Sword Intent swiftly pierced through his mind, obliterating his soul and consciousness.

"Collect!"

With a single sword stroke, Zhang Xuan reached out, and the corpse of the Great General and the Breaking Army Battle Soul Spear disappeared at mid-air.

From Su Ling’s chase of the Xuanyuan War Chariot to getting slain and being collected into the Suspended Realm, despite sounding complex, it actually took no more than a fractional breath.

It was as if he had barely made his move when he had already perished.

"General Su..."

Prince Yuanqing did not expect that, even under such an active situation, they would still lose a member, he trembled in anger, throwing the Little Jade Seal and Mountain River Order once again.

"Without the Xuanyuan War Chariot, let’s see how you withstand this!"

The Demon Lord sneered, cleaving with the Demon Dragon Saber.

Zhang Xuan’s previous concealment could certainly go unnoticed in the Source World, but how could it escape perception within the Ten Directions Demon Realm?

Not revealing it was to wait for this precise moment.

The reason they hadn’t managed to kill the opponent all this time was due to the tortoise shell of the Xuanyuan War Chariot. Once he actively leaves it, slaying a peak of Bodhisattva Realm practitioner wouldn’t be harder than killing an ant.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

The Buddha also understood this, without any hesitation, the Purple Gold Alms Bowl descended from above, along with a massive hand seal that plummeted down.

Prajna Bodhi Palm!

One of the Buddha’s most powerful attack methods. Ordinary people struck by it would enter endless cycles of cause and effect, unable to escape.

"This is the moment, success or failure lies here!"

Having anticipated this situation upon killing Su Ling, Zhang Xuan knew there was no escaping, took a deep breath, and controlled the Eternal Heart, pushing his physical body to the limit.

At the same time, he calmed his mind, controlling the Seven Life Lights within his soul.

With numerous attacks descending at once, the Eternal Heart combined with the body’s thousands of beats per second managed to neutralize most of the forces. Despite this, endless tearing force invaded his body still.

Boom!

With a massive explosion, his body could no longer endure such immense power, shattering on the spot, and his soul torn into countless fragments.

"Dead?"

Struck by the force of the explosion, everyone involuntarily stepped back a few paces, looking towards the center of the explosion.

At that moment, from within the empty void, a brightly lit lamp suddenly appeared.

Rebirth from death!

The seventh, Yin Yang Reversing Destiny Lamp!

Accompanied by this life lamp’s ignition, the exploded figure immediately reassembled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, Zhang Xuan’s figure reappeared.

Though identical to when he was killed, he was visibly weaker.

Restoring by breaking through with the Life Lamp and Eternal Golden Body, keeping Indestructible, but not unlimited, energy consumption occurs, and once depleted, soul and body will vanish as well.

Zhang Xuan’s current state was precisely this; despite recovering after suffering from a combined assault of many experts, most of his power was lost, requiring significant time to recuperate.

However... all of this was within his calculations, and this was the moment he had been waiting for.

"Come to me!"

With a soft command, he fiercely reached up.

Little Jade Seal, Demon Dragon Saber, National Guardian Jade Pendant, Mountain River Order, Purple Gold Alms Bowl... these five celestial treasures, having just shattered his body, were in a state where their old energies were spent, and new energies had yet to form.

Truthfully, risking near-death only to kill Su Ling was losing out, as the real goal was these five celestial treasures.

All preparations were made for this moment, without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xuan’s mind trembled with the Creation Jade Butterfly, and an overpowering soul force burst forth, enveloping all five treasures instantly.

The Little Jade Seal and Demon Dragon Saber weapons sensed being restrained, but before they could escape, they were completely enveloped by several massive whirlpools.

Swoosh!

With a crisp sound, without a fraction of a second’s delay, they disappeared entirely, collected into the Suspended Realm.
