Dugu Chou hollered and swung the sword in his hand. A giant whirlpool appeared in midair. All the golden rays were sucked into the whirlpool like moths flying into a flame, followed by a loud tremor.
It was apparent that Dugu Chou's move was appropriate. Not only had he blocked the golden rays, he had also exchanged a blow with Liang Canghai through the air.
The golden rays reeled back at once, flying towards Liang Canghai's back.
Although Dugu Chou had managed to deflect the sharpness of the Heaven Measuring Golden Rays, he could not help but suffer a considerable amount of impact, causing him to falter.
Liang Canghai did not wait for the golden rays to return. He turned to the left and attacked again, meeting Gu Chaliang's palm strike head-on. The outcome of this exchange was obvious. Liang Canghai, who had been repeatedly injured, was sent flying by Gu Chaliang's palm strike!
That was not right. Instead of saying that Liang Canghai was sent flying by Gu Chaliang's palm, it was more accurate to say that he had used the counterforce of the collision to somersault and retreat. His landing point was already out of the trio's encirclement.
If it were not for a ray of sword light that came to Liang Canghai's path of retreat, Liang Canghai might have really escaped!
That's right, an overwhelming Sword Qi filled with melancholy and ecstasy flew over like a long dragon, arriving first at Liang Canghai's target. The chilling Sword Qi then enveloped Liang Canghai's body.
Liang Canghai cried out, the Heaven Measuring Ruler that had just returned to his hand flew out of his grasp.
The Heaven Measuring Ruler that had left his grasp met the Awe-Inspiring Sword Qi head-on. Both of them engaged in the most extreme head-on collision without any tricks or tricks!
Although the Heaven Measuring Golden Rays had been renowned for a long time and was a rare divine weapon, it was mostly because of its unique material and focused more on its lethality. Resistance was not its forte. If it had been an ordinary battle, it might have been able to hold its ground, but now that Liang Canghai's combat strength had been greatly reduced due to the consecutive injuries he had sustained, in addition to the hurried counterattack, the mystical Qi he had infused into the Heaven Measuring Ruler was, at most, twenty percent of his usual strength. How could he be lucky enough to face the unusually strong Sword Qi head-on?
With a muffled poof, this unique Elite Weapon, the Heaven-measuring Ruler, whose name shook the world, became golden powder that filled the sky, becoming dust in the world.
Liang Canghai let out a heart-wrenching cry, followed by a miserable groan as a hole appeared on his shoulder.
Not only had Dugu Chou's Heartless Severing Sword shattered his weapon, it had also pierced through his shoulder.
Puff!
Gu Chaliang appeared out of nowhere and landed a solid blow on Liang Canghai's back. Liang Canghai grunted again, falling to the ground like a kite with its string snapped. When he landed, he staggered twice, almost losing his footing.
The shadow above them fell, but Dugu Chou did not stop his pursuit. Sword light rained down from the sky like a downpour.
Gu Chaliang did not slack off either, launching a close-range attack. All sorts of attacks came at him, each one lethal and lifeless.
Only Feng Xiange stood slightly further away, adjusting his breathing with his eyes closed. His presence was extremely weak. It was not that he did not want to join in the battle, but he had taken the brunt of Liang Canghai's desperate attack to break out of the encirclement just now. He had almost perished on the spot after taking it head-on. It was already a feat that he could still stand. He could no longer intervene in this battle.
In spite of this, the contribution he had given was sufficient. Even if there were only Dugu Chou and Gu Chaliang now, it was enough to make Liang Canghai unable to escape!
Liang Canghai gritted his teeth. His body was like a nail to the ground as he defended himself with all his might, trying his best not to fall.
After a series of accidents, his injuries had become severe to a certain extent.
He no longer had the intention to break out of the encirclement. With his current condition, it was impossible for him to escape on his own.
His only hope was to hold on for as long as he could.
After all, he believed that his partner would come to save him!
The only person left on the other side was Ling Xiaozui. Although Mr. Nian might not be able to win, he was competent enough to rush to his aid.
The crux of the matter was …
Would he be able to hold on until then?
The two experts attacked with all their might, directly suppressing Liang Canghai within a radius of three zhang, rendering him unable to move. He was already in a completely passive situation, and this line of defense was still in the process of being compressed, on the verge of collapsing completely at any time.
In spite of this, Liang Canghai gritted his teeth to urge himself, activating the arcane art of life potential to trigger his combat strength. Even when he spat out mouthfuls of blood essence, his complexion deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and half of his hair turning white in this short period of time, he was still holding his ground, trying his best to resist the two experts' killing blows.
Liang Canghai looked as wretched as a ghost. Blood was gushing out of his orifices every second. The shoulder that had been injured by Dugu Jian earlier was completely shattered.
Pale bone stubs were exposed on his back and chest; one of his legs was limping as he spat out blood continuously. However, he refused to give up. Despite being besieged by the two experts, he remained standing!
He even took the opportunity to launch a desperate counterattack in exchange for a little bit of breathing space.
A peerless expert was able to persevere in such a hopeless situation. This kind of indestructible tenacity was enough to shock everyone!
Despite being in such a hopeless situation, Liang Canghai's gaze was still determined and calm; there was no trace of panic.
Even if he felt like he was an arrow at the end of its flight, his mind was filled with boundless chaos, and it was even to the extent that it was difficult for him to focus his gaze, he knew very well that so long as he relaxed his last breath, then he would truly be finished!
As long as he could hold on to his last breath, he was confident that he could hold on until his partner arrived!
He had to hold on, he had to hold on!
After another round of attack, Liang Canghai's hair had turned snow-white, without the slightest luster. It was as if he had lost all signs of life, like a bunch of withered grass.
In spite of this, Dugu Chou's sword light was still chilling as he attacked from three different directions, his intention to kill was clear.
"Liang Canghai, give up," Dugu Chou said faintly, "With Ling Xiaozui holding your partner back, it's destined that he won't be able to come over."
Liang Canghai's palms had long been reduced to skeletons after being tempered by the sword energy. There was not a shred of flesh on them, but they were still waving madly, generating a strong gust of wind and clanging sounds as they blocked all of Dugu Chou's incoming sword light.
It wasn't that Liang Canghai didn't want to retort. In fact, he really wanted to retort and encourage himself. However, he knew that if he opened his mouth now, he wouldn't get any encouragement. He would only be venting his last breath.
If that was the case, he would truly be finished!
