CHAPTER 28
Peak of True Energy
Yang Hongwu's expression turned solemn as he watched the four approaching Yin spirits.
The strength of these four nether spirits was absolutely strong. Although the pure Yin Genuine Qi could cause great damage to the four beasts, because of his own strength, he could deal with one or two. But facing four, he could only fight with all his might. It was basically impossible for him to escape.
The four Yin spirits had already surrounded him.
It seems that these four Yin spirits are quite intelligent.
Pure Yin True Qi was very harmful to these beasts and could absorb their energy, but what about Pure Yang True Qi? Pure Yang True Qi should be more harmful to these beasts.
"Dragon Battles in Four Directions." Yang Hongwu roared and used his Invincible Blade Technique. This technique was an indiscriminate attack and was suitable for group attacks. He waved his blade, and golden blade light flashed in all directions. The four Yin Spirits were enveloped in the attack range.
"Zizi …"
When the blade light touched those Yin Spirits, they screamed in pain and retreated continuously. Their injuries were great. Only the strongest female Yin Spirit did not suffer any injuries. Her speed was too fast. Before the blade light could envelop her, she had already retreated.
Then, the nether spirit let out a sharp cry and shot towards Yang Hongwu at an astonishing speed like a bolt of lightning.
Although the other three were injured, they didn't care about their lives and attacked like crazy.
"Yin and Yang Rotation, Waterflame Lotus."
Yang Hongwu realized that the speed of the attack was simply too fast. It was already too late for him to launch another attack. Without any hesitation, he began driving his zhenqi. Yin-Yang zhenqi burst forth, forming a Waterflame Lotus around him.
The Yin Spirit slammed into the protective barrier of the Water-Fire Lotus, emitting a sizzling sound.
It wasn't easy for the Yin Spirit to break through his defense. The Yin Yang True Qi that Lin Fan cultivated was extremely harmful to these beasts. Because of this, Lin Fan was able to withstand it. Otherwise, even if he was at the True Spirit Realm, he would have been possessed or devoured by the Yin Spirit.
Whoosh whoosh! Swish! "
Under the command of the female nether spirit, the four nether spirits attacked the protective barrier again and again.
Yang Hongwu's expression became more and more serious.
"If this continues, the defense will be broken sooner or later." Yang Hongwu looked at the female nether spirit. She seemed to be the leader, and the other three nether spirits were under her command. If he could capture this nether spirit, he should be able to solve the problem. Although these nether spirits were intelligent, they should not be very high. Moreover, these beasts seemed to have a strict hierarchy.
If the other three were generals, then the female Yin spirit should be a queen.
She was at the peak of Level 4. She was only one step away from Level 5. If this female spirit broke through to Level 5, he wouldn't be able to stop her. Even the Nine Dragons Sacred Body wouldn't be able to deter her.
Thinking of this, Yang Hongwu felt cold all over.
Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, he noticed that the four Yin spirits had suddenly stopped attacking.
"It stopped?" Yang Hongwu heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that it had stopped. If it had continued, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long. Finding a way to leave this place was the right thing to do.
"Wu wu …"
The female yin spirit let out a series of cries, which were similar to the previous yin spirit's call for its companion.
"No way, she still wants to summon?" Yang Hongwu turned pale with fright. This was bad. If this female nether spirit wanted to summon more nether spirits, wouldn't he be finished?
The attack of four Level 4 nether spirits was already the limit of his Water-Fire Lotus' defense. If one or two more were to come, he could only hold on for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. If there were more, the time would be even shorter.
"Run …"
This was the only thought in Yang Hongwu's mind at this time. He had to take advantage of this opportunity to break through the defense and use his strongest attack to kill one of the nether spirits. Only by breaking through the encirclement would he have a chance to survive.
Yang Hongwu let out a roar as his entire body shone with a golden light. Behind him, the shadow of a golden dragon appeared. This golden dragon exuded an immense aura.
"Water-Fire Lotus, explode."
One Yin and one Yang, one Water and one Fire. The two lotuses fused together, forming a huge lotus. With a bang, it exploded.
The huge force blew up the nether spirit in front of him.
Without any hesitation, Yang Hongwu rushed up crazily. He exerted his speed to the extreme, like a wisp of green smoke.
The female nether spirit was faster than him. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Yang Hongwu and blocked his way.
"You … die …"
The female nether spirit was like a silver lightning that cut through the night. Her speed was too terrifying. In just a breath, she appeared in front of Yang Hongwu and grabbed his heart with one hand.
"So fast."
Yang Hongwu clenched his battle saber, and a sharp light shot out from his eyes.
"Battle Dragon Breaks the Sky!"
The Azure Dragon was released from the battle saber. It roared as if it was going to tear the whole sky apart. It was full of boundless battle intent that broke through all shackles.
Yang Hongwu had used all his strength in this attack. He knew that he relied on his battle physique and Yin-Yang True Qi to suppress the nether spirit. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago. Facing this female nether spirit's attack, Yang Hongwu dared not to be careless.
"Bang …"
With a loud bang, Yang Hongwu was hit against the wall, and the female nether spirit was scattered. Yang Hongwu's mouth was bleeding. His inner organs were injured, but there was a smile on his face.
Without any hesitation, he rushed toward the entrance of the cave.
But before he could move far, he saw a shadow blocking his way again.
It was the female nether spirit again. Her body became a little bit illusory, but she was not dead.
At this time, the other two nether spirits also came up. The surrounding was even more terrifying. The dense green light made one's scalp tingle.
There were thousands of them. It was impossible to count.
These nether spirits were all level one, level two, and level three. None of them were level four, but there were too many of them.
"Am I really going to die here today?"
Yang Hongwu smiled bitterly in his heart. It's over. It's really over. There are so many nether spirits. There are probably more than ten thousand of them. Are all the nether spirits in the Xuanyin Cave summoned here?
Moreover, there are three level four nether spirits eyeing me. There is no way I can escape.
He swallowed a pill.
Looking at the nether spirits rushing toward him, Yang Hongwu used the Waterflame Lotus again to protect himself.
"I'll hold them off for as long as I can."
There were not many Hundred Flower Dew Pills. Hua Wuying only had three of them. He took one when he was injured, and gave himself another one. It was the one he just took.
At this moment of life and death, Yang Hongwu was not a pedantic person. Of course, he would use the pills. Yang Hongwu also understood why there were no more pills or talismans in the storage ring he got. They were all used up. With so many nether spirits rushing at him, no amount of pills or talismans would be of any use.
These low-level nether spirits began to attack the barrier. When they hit the barrier, Yang Hongwu realized that he could use the barrier's qi to absorb the energy of these nether spirits.
Yang Hongwu immediately realized this.
"How could there be such a good thing? There is always a way out."
Yang Hongwu was overjoyed. These weak nether spirits were attacking the Waterflame Lotus barrier. Although the barrier was damaged, if he cultivated, he could absorb the energy of the nether spirits to repair the barrier. He could also use it to cultivate and improve his cultivation.
With so many nether spirits, if he absorbed and refined them all, his strength should be able to continue to improve. He could reach the peak of the true qi realm, or even … even break through to the true qi realm.
Yang Hongwu sat down cross-legged, and the Nine Transformation Yin-Yang Harmony Art began to circulate. The energy of the nether spirits around him was crazily absorbed, gradually forming a huge vortex.
This huge vortex sucked in all the nether spirits around him. One by one, the nether spirits disappeared, turning into the purest energy and entering Yang Hongwu's body.
One cycle.
Two cycles.
Three cycles.
A total of eighty-one cycles had passed.
Yang Hongwu's body shook. His majestic qi was like a torrent, crazily rushing toward the checkpoints of the true qi realm.
Like a hot knife through butter, the acupoints were broken through one after another.
"True qi realm level nine!"
"Peak of the true qi realm level ten!"
