CHAPTER 227: CHAPTER 175: SEVERELY WOUNDING THE SONG FAMILY ANCESTOR (PART 2)

Seeing this scene, Xu Ping’s expression became extremely grave.

The power of this strike was beyond imagination, stronger than an ordinary Fake Pill cultivator by half a level.

He had already exhausted all his strength just resisting the prior attack, and faced with this fatal strike, relying merely on his own strength and cultivation, there was no way he could withstand it.

However, Xu Ping did not intend to continue relying on his own cultivation to endure.

His action this time was meant to test how his strength compared to Fake Pill cultivators.

Now that his goal was reached, he certainly would not engage in futile resistance.

Xu Ping swiftly formed seals with his hands as he chanted incessantly under his breath.

In an instant, a talisman exuding a chilling purple light flew out of his sleeve, slowly floating in mid-air.

"Go!"

Xu Ping forcefully swung his hand, and the Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman instantly transformed into a massive thunder dragon.

This thunder dragon was encircled by crackling arcs of electricity, which flickered while releasing world-destroying terror, ferociously charging towards the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword.

"Boom!"

The immense thunder dragon fiercely collided with the hundred-zhang long cyan sword glow, and as soon as they contacted, an intense and magnificent confrontation unfolded.

For a time, thunder light flashed incessantly, Sword Qi madly slashed, and the whole world seemed to be shaken by this terrifying power.

Ultimately, it was the thunder dragon that had the upper hand.

After a fierce struggle, the thunder dragon successfully obliterated the sword glow before roaring towards the Song family patriarch.

Although the Song family patriarch’s previous attack was extremely formidable, it essentially still belonged to the realm of Fake Pill level.

However, the Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman was genuinely a third-rank lower-grade talisman, containing the terrifying power of a Golden Core cultivator.

"Third-rank talisman!"

Seeing this, the Song family patriarch’s face revealed a look of terror, and he frantically formed seals with his hands.

Numerous mysterious runes flashed quickly at his fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, a huge and sturdy shield condensed in front of him.

"Boom!"

A thunderous crash reverberated, and the thunder dragon formed by the Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman fiercely struck the shield in front of the Song family patriarch.

In an instant, thunder rays spilled out, and the intense light illuminated the whole world, as if daylight had descended.

The powerful impact caused the shield to shake violently, and the originally bright cyan light on the shield dimmed somewhat.

The next moment.

"Crack."

With a crisp sound of breaking, the shield in front of the Song family patriarch finally couldn’t bear the load, cracking and shattering.

However, the thunder dragon’s power was almost exhausted at this point.

However, before the Song family patriarch could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boom!"

Another thunder dragon appeared out of thin air, roaring with fury, carrying all its might and directly charging at the Song family patriarch.

"Another third-rank talisman!"

The Song family patriarch’s face filled with fear, he hurriedly tried various means to resist, but all in vain.

"Crack!"

Thunder Power erupted, easily shattering all his defenses, before heavily striking his body.

"Boom!"

The Song family patriarch was instantly enveloped in thunder light, his body uncontrollably flying backward tens of zhang, crashing heavily onto a massive rock.

The tremendous impact shattered the rock into debris, which scattered everywhere.

Moments later, the dust gradually settled.

"Cough cough... splutter!"

The Song family patriarch’s body was blackened, his aura chaotic and unstable, almost entirely depleted of Spiritual Power, with very severe injuries.

He coughed with difficulty twice, unable to hold back a mouthful of fresh blood spurting out.

He struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with shock and resentment.

He could never have imagined that the person before him would still hide such powerful third-rank talismans.

It should be known that even someone like him, entrenched in Yue Country for hundreds of years as a Fake Pill cultivator, did not possess third-rank talismans.

"Not dead?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Ping’s face, even after using two Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans consecutively, he still failed to kill the opponent outright.

It seems this Song family patriarch is indeed stronger than ordinary Fake Pill cultivators.

However, though he narrowly survived, he is now gravely injured and critically endangered, his strength greatly reduced.

Seizing this perfect opportunity, Xu Ping swiftly flashed forward like a ghost to approach.

The Purple Sun Sword in his hands shone brightly, Sword Intent overflowing, as if the whole person transformed into a sharp bolt of lightning, quickly attacking the Song family patriarch.

"Slash!"

Facing the situation, the Song family patriarch clenched his teeth, forcibly using the remaining Spiritual Power in his body, injecting it again into the wooden sword.

He was well aware that if he didn’t fight with all his might today, he would surely die here.

The wooden sword emitted a low hum, struggling to release the last faint trace of cyan light, heading towards Xu Ping.

However, at this point, the Song family patriarch was already at his limit, and this strike, although fierce, was actually greatly diminished in power.

Xu Ping easily struck the magical treasure flying with one sword, then followed up with another sword thrust, which was precise beyond compare, directly piercing into the Song family patriarch’s Dantian.

The Sword Qi burst instantly, shattering the Fake Pill he painstakingly cultivated.

"Splutter!"

The Song family patriarch spat another mouthful of blood, his face turning pale as paper, and his aura rapidly declining.

In such severe injury, he directly fell into unconsciousness.

Xu Ping quickly approached, continuously injecting mana into this person’s Sea of Consciousness and Dantian, sealing off his Divine Sense and mana.

Capturing the opponent alive, he naturally intended to use the Soul-Searching Technique to sift through the opponent’s memories.

For a great power, the truly precious secrets are often not carried on the person.
