Victory or defeat, life or death, would be decided in this instant.
Yaksha King used the Wind Scattering Cloud move again. The faintly discernible sword intent was unpredictable, but it hid a fatal trap.
But just as he used the move, he suddenly felt a piercingly cold killing intent coming towards him. Ying Feiyang activated the Killer God Sword Movement, bringing with it a desolate killing intent. The tip of the sword was pointing in an unexpected direction.
"No, his direction is … the middle of the chest?"
Before Yaksha King could recover from his shock, the sword had already arrived.
The characteristics of the Wind Scattering Cloud move matched its name. Once the move was used, the sword Qi would flow freely and disperse around the body. It could both injure the enemy and protect the body. It was a move that could both attack and defend.
At this moment, Ying Feiyang's sword actually broke through the sword Qi surrounding Yaksha King and pierced the vital point of the chest.
No, perhaps it couldn't even be considered a breakthrough, because Ying Feiyang's sword didn't make any contact with the sword Qi protecting his body. It was as if there was a short moment where the sword Qi around him flowed like the wind. A "wind eye" appeared in the sword Qi, acting as a passageway for Ying Feiyang's sword to pierce through!
"How can this be!" Yaksha King felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to change his move and dodge, but it was too late. He could only gather his energy in front of his chest and use his Scale Armor to block the sword.
"Dang!"
The sword pierced into his flesh, but the sound of metal clashing could be heard. Blood splattered everywhere, revealing the bones. The sword had entered three inches into his flesh!
But it had only entered three inches!
"Ahhh …" Yaksha King let out a suppressed cry of pain. If the sword had entered half an inch more, it would have shattered his sternum and pierced into his soft organs.
But he endured the pain. His chest muscles and sternum cooperated with the thick invisible Qi Armor to clamp down on the sword, making it difficult for the sword to enter any further. While his body was pushed back by the sword, he also borrowed the force to retreat, trying to dispel the power of the sword.
However, the Yaksha King retreated and Ying Feiyang advanced. His long sword pointed forward and his crimson eyes locked onto the Yaksha King. This was the only chance that Xu Tingxian had exchanged his life for. He absolutely could not fail. There was still half an inch left. Just half an inch and everything would be over!
The two of them, one advancing and one retreating, began a battle of life and death in the snake cave. The difference of half an inch was the difference between life and death.
At that moment, the yaksha king's advantage in speed showed itself. Suppressing the pain, he gradually steadied himself. At first, he had been pushed back by the sword, but now he took the initiative to retreat.
"I got rid of him!" The Yaksha King finally regained his pace. Just as he was about to use his amazing speed to shake off the sword's lock, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He had actually touched the wall.
At this moment, Ying Feiyang let out a long shout. He held the sword in one hand and gathered the Dragon Gods' Divine Power in the other. Then, he hammered the hilt of the sword as if he was wedging a nail.
"Pa!"
The wall behind them exploded. Ying Feiyang pushed the yaksha king into the wall, then out of the wall into a tunnel, then through the tunnel wall again, out of the wall again …
He kept crashing in and out, crashing in and out, crashing in and out …
He opened a straight path through the winding snake cave. Goddess Ling Xin could not see what was going on inside. She could only see smoke and dust rising and the sound of something breaking. Then, everything finally calmed down.
At the end of the tunnel, where she could not see, the dust settled. Ying Feiyang, who was covered in blood, had pierced through the Yaksha King's chest and spine. He had shattered his bones and organs and pinned him to the wall!
"Why?" the dying Yaksha King asked with all his might.
"My master once asked me, 'Do you know the easiest way to destroy a swordsman?'" The outcome was decided. Ying Feiyang felt the power of the Heavenly Book leave the Yaksha King's body and flow into his body through the hilt of the sword. During this time, Ying Feiyang was not stingy with answering his last questions.
"What is it?" the Yaksha King asked with his eyes wide open.
Ying Feiyang answered, "It is to tell him that there is a flaw in his swordsmanship!"
The Yaksha King's dying eyes brightened. "So that's it! Did you say that flaw on purpose for me to hear? "
Ying Feiyang nodded. "That's right. You appeared in the snake cave not because you saw through the authenticity of the Buddha Heart Sarira, but because you eavesdropped on my and Xu Tingxian's plan, right?"
Even though Ying Feiyang was asking a question, he already knew the answer. Without waiting for the Yaksha King to reply, he continued, "That day, after Xu Tingxian and I came up with a plan to pass off the fake as the real thing in the Dragon Palace, I suddenly thought of a problem. After you took the Garuda and the Mahoraga Sutra, you escaped into the water to escape the pursuit of the dragons and disappeared. If I were you, where would I hide?"
"When I thought of this, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The Yaksha's supernatural power of 'Invisibility' can hide one's body. As long as one is in the dark, one can be silent and traceless. It's possible that you're doing the opposite and sneaking into the Dragon Palace when the dragons are out searching for you, waiting for an opportunity. The worst possibility is that you're not only around us, but you've also heard our plan. So, in order to prevent the worst possibility, I've added another layer of insurance. "
The Yaksha King said, "That's why you suddenly proposed to spar with Kinnara and pointed out … that there was a flaw in the Scattered Wind and Clouds move … the flaw was in the chest."
Ying Feiyang said, "Actually, there was no flaw in that move. But after you believed my words, you couldn't help but increase the strength of your sword. You tried to make up for the non-existent flaw in the chest, but you made the real flaw appear in the center of the chest!"
"But Kinnara didn't know about it?"
"Because I didn't tell him. First, I was afraid that you would hide in the surroundings and let the news leak again. Second, because of your protective scale armor, even if Xu Tingxian knew that the real flaw in the center of the chest was in the center of the chest, it would still be difficult for him to break through the defense of the scale armor. If he missed in one attack, he wouldn't have another chance. So I chose to hide this matter and let Xu Tingxian, who was also misled by me, be the bait. Speaking of which, Xu Tingxian should have attacked the non-existent flaw, so he died under the Scattered Wind and Clouds move …"
"Using him as bait … as bait … hahaha, is there anything you guys can't do?" The Yaksha King laughed strangely. His laughter was as ear-piercing as a broken bellow.
Ying Feiyang continued, "Xu Tingxian and I acted separately. If you appeared in the Endless Sea outside the Dragon Palace, it proved that my worries were groundless. Everything could still proceed according to the original plan. He would summon the Extraterrestrial Demon to destroy the world. If you didn't appear, although it would be more troublesome, it would also create an opportunity to kill you. It was also because of Xu Tingxian's death that you believed in my words and believed that you had already made up for the non-existent flaw. So you used the Scattered Wind and Clouds move at the crucial moment to decide victory and defeat with me. You wanted me to repeat the same trick and make me repeat Xu Tingxian's mistakes. But you didn't know that everything was within my expectations. I used the non-existent flaw to create a real flaw! "
"Hahaha, so that's how it is … I was really led by the nose by you …" The Yaksha King laughed. His life was burnt and his eyes were as dim as dead ash.
"In the end, you are only my inner demon. You can only follow your instincts and can't judge the pros and cons of your sword moves." Ying Feiyang looked at the face that was similar to his and suddenly felt a little reluctant. He decided to end this conversation. "If there is a next time, remember to trust your sword more than my words. But … let's just leave it at that …"
Ying Feiyang shook his head. He wanted to pull out his sword to reduce the Yaksha King's pain before he died, but suddenly —
"You said that I'm a demon? Hahaha … "The Yaksha King reached out and grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer so that the sword would pierce deeper. Just to look him in the eye, the Yaksha King's eyes lit up again. It was filled with endless hatred that burned people." We are both the hosts of the Heavenly Book and the protectors of the Buddhist Sect. Why … why do you think that you are the real body and think that I am a demon? Hahaha, open your eyes wide and take a look. Look at what you have done! Look at the living beings that you have played with and died because of you. Tell me, between us, who is the real demon? "
The Yaksha King laughed sinisterly and crazily, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. However, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, extinguishing the joy of Ying Feiyang's victory. He couldn't help but shiver. He was confused for a moment, but he didn't dare to think too much. He could only avoid the Yaksha King's gaze and quickly pull out his sword.
"Haha, you want to escape, but you can't, because I am you, and you are me. You … can't escape from me, and the roots of your evil have already been planted … Even if this is only an illusion in your eyes, everything you've done will definitely be repaid by your body! And what you want … "
"Ahhhhhh!"
The Yaksha King suddenly cried out in pain. Every pore on his body spewed out a mist of blood. He was in so much pain that it felt like his soul was being torn from his body. As he screamed, a dark shadow flew out from his chest, wrapped in a beam of Buddhist light, and flew away.
"And will eventually be lost …" As he cursed, the Yaksha King powerlessly let go of Ying Feiyang's hand. He lost his breath and fell to the ground, a vengeful smile still on his face.
"The power of the Yaksha and the Sarira!" Ying Feiyang said warily. While they were talking, the Kinnara, Mahoraga, and Garuda Tomes had all gathered in his body. However, the power of the Yaksha was the most deeply rooted, and he hadn't had time to absorb it yet.
The Yaksha King had actually made his last attempt at revenge, risking the tearing pain of his soul to release the power of the Yaksha so that he could leave with the Buddhist Heart Sarira. And his goal …
"Many thanks for the gift!"
