Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Convergence (Additional Updates for Previous Book)

Beneath the black night, a flash of golden light.

Ximen Cuo’s body emitted a golden glow as he executed the Golden Corpse King Fist to an extent that even Yan Wushuang hadn’t anticipated.

After only a few dozen moves, Yan Wushuang found herself struggling to cope, with cold sweat pouring down her back.

Half of her face was now covered with dense, fierce blood vessels, a gruesome sight. It was a sign that she had pushed the Jialan Fan Hand to its limit, and was even starting to suppress the anomaly within a Grandmaster’s body!

In other words, this woman had started fighting with desperation.

No, not just with desperation, but with a reckless abandon akin to risking one’s own life!

’Is the gap between an ordinary Grandmaster and an Earth List Master this wide... No, if this is Ximen Cuo’s true martial prowess, he could even make a push for the top forty of the Earth List...’

Yan Wushuang gasped for breath and couldn’t help but glance at the other two battlefields.

Divine Fortune Teller Zhuge WuLiang faced off against the Wan Hua Sword, his abacus beads were all pierced by Hua Ling’s sword, completely restrained.

On the last battlefield, Ma Qingfeng suddenly let out a piercing scream, as he utilized his famous Soul Chasing Leg Technique, not to fight, but to flee.

His movement technique was incredibly fast, like a fleeting shadow, instantly escaping tens of meters away.

But it was futile!

The curved blade roared through the air, turning into a demonically perfect arc that flashed for an instant behind him.

Ma Qingfeng ran a distance further before his body, from the crown of his head down, split in two.

Devilish Blade Ding Wuming retracted his curved blade, his purple eyes gazing toward Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang’s heart sank suddenly, realizing that Divine Capture Sect’s strategizing had a significant flaw.

Perhaps, all three of them, along with Xun Liuyi, would lose their lives here.

Originally, the three Great Divine Catchers weren’t a match for the three Earth List Masters; now it was three against two, and the disparity in strength became even more apparent.

Even escape was not an option.

"Xun Liuyi is up against the even more fearsome Saint Son of the Five Poison Sect. I fear his chances are slim now..."

One of Yan Wushuang’s eyes was now filled with blood vessels, giving her a yin and yang face that looked particularly frightful and sinister.

She looked at Ximen Cuo across from her and at Ding Wuming, who was poised to strike with his next slash, a creepy smile suddenly appearing on her rigid face.

Within the Divine Capture Sect, there were always some desperate secret techniques.

Despite their severe side effects, when executed by an ordinary Grandmaster, they could inflict heavy damage on an Earth List Master, or even claim their life.

Elsewhere, Zhuge WuLiang’s arm that was holding the iron abacus had been sent flying into the air, splattering blood.

Just at that moment, Wan Hua Sword Hua Ling, Devilish Blade Ding Wuming, and even Golden Zombie Ximen Cuo together let out a dreadful scream, "No!!!"

Within this cry, there seemed to be a mixture of unwillingness and resentment, forming a powerful impact.

If an ordinary person or even a Human List Martial Artist were nearby, they would likely die with their organs ruptured!

Yan Wushuang was stunned by this sight but then realized after the scream that the purple glow in the eyes of these three Earth List Masters had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, they had lost all movement and collapsed limp to the ground, looking like puppets with their strings cut.

Zhuge WuLiang swiftly pressed several points on his right arm to stop the gushing blood, then moved forward to inspect them, eventually letting out a long sigh, "They... haven’t died, but they’ve lost all response to the outside world..."

"Could it be..."

Yan Wushuang thought of a possibility, one that even she found somewhat absurd.

"So when the original body dies, the avatars turn into a vegetative state? And here I thought the Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Skill for creating slave avatars was the ultimate life-preserving secret technique... What a pity, what a pity..."

In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged, it was Zhong Shenxiu!

Yan Wushuang’s expression turned stern, sensing a completely different aura from Xun Liuyi than before.

If before she had seen only an ordinary Grandmaster, now Xun Liuyi gave her the same kind of impression as facing the Great Divine Catcher of the Divine Capture Sect with his iron-blooded demeanor.

’How is this possible?’

Even if Xun Liuyi was strong, he shouldn’t be able to match the iron-blooded Divine Catcher, the top of the Earth List. Yet this subtle aura was strikingly similar...

Yan Wushuang’s emotions became inexplicably complex in an instant.

Zhuge WuLiang also sensed something, now Xun Liuyi appeared to him almost on par with those top ten powerhouses of the Earth List.

Those were all tyrants who suppressed one side and had a promising chance to break through the Divinity Passage!

His voice involuntarily softened, "It’s good to see Xun Keqing unharmed, just now that Saint Heir claimed to seek trouble with you, we were all exceedingly worried. Alas, we were held up and couldn’t assist in time, I am truly sorry..."

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at him and scoffed, "If apologies were useful, what need would there be for martial arts?"

Zhuge WuLiang’s expression changed drastically, but considering his current position as the knife to the fish, he still forcibly contained his displeasure.

Yan Wushuang hurriedly stepped in to mediate, "Brother Xun, do you know why this is?"

"It’s simple, because I killed the King of Ten Thousand Slaves, they lost their manipulator, and that’s why things have turned out this way..." Zhong Shenxiu answered straightforwardly.

Though they had already considered this possibility, the confirmation from Zhong Shenxiu’s lips still made Zhuge WuLiang and Yan Wushuang involuntarily gasp.

The King of Ten Thousand Slaves had three Martial Slaves under him, all Earth List Grandmasters, and he himself must be exceedingly fierce and vicious.

The fact that Xun Liuyi was able to counter-kill, his martial prowess probably was enough to rank him among the top of the Earth List.

Such high-level experts would even be treated with great respect by the Divine Capture Sect.

Even the court behind the Divine Capture Sect, before an open conflict, would try to curry favor.

After all, someone so young has a much greater hope of breaking through the Divinity Passage than other Grandmasters.

For a future Heavenly List Grandmaster, no amount of honor would be considered too great.

"Who would have thought that you had already made such rapid progress to this extent."

Yan Wushuang couldn’t help but express her amazement, and it seemed she genuinely felt happy for her friend.

"Yes, thinking back on the choice I had made, I also get a cold sweat. I was on the brink of complete disaster."

Zhong Shenxiu smiled faintly and revealed the secrets of the Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Skill.

Now at open enmity with the Five Poison Sect, he had to win over the court, and releasing this secret was the greatest blow he could deal to the Five Poison Sect.

After all, he had carefully searched the body of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves and did not find the secret of the Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Skill, so there was no need to keep it secret.

"What, a Secret Technique that allows a Grandmaster to directly break through the Divinity Passage?"

"The Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Skill, commands the four great slave skills?"

"The Dead Body Fist and Five Elements Thief Palm on Jianghu, all are bait released by the adversary?"

Yan Wushuang and Zhuge WuLiang’s expressions changed shift after shift, but after comparing it with their own past experiences, they connected the dots and had no room for doubt, "The Five Poison Sect had great ambitions indeed, fortunately, they were thwarted by Xun Keqing, otherwise, the common people would have suffered greatly..."

Breaking through the Divinity Passage was as challenging as ascending to the heavens.

Even now, Zhong Shenxiu, who was considered promising, only had a ten to twenty percent chance of success in the eyes of the two Divine Catchers.

This was already the highest estimate taking into account his youth.

Yet the Five Poison Sect possessed such a Secret Technique, if by some stroke of luck they succeeded, it could indeed bring a strong impact to the structure of the Martial Arts world.
