Zhao Lingtu was a little dumbfounded. He had destroyed the phantom with a single swing of his hammer, and the immense pressure was instantly lifted. He was just trying to save his own life, and he actually managed to hit the true body of the phantom? Wasn't his luck a little too good?
The spectators all heaved a sigh of relief, especially Yu Baixing and the others behind him. They almost broke out in cold sweat. Only now did they realize that they had been worrying too much. Since this Zhao Lingtu dared to fight with just a few people, he must have some tricks up his sleeves.
Ba Wenjing's expression changed drastically. What kind of transcendent artifact was his opponent using? To be able to accurately locate the true body of the Spirit Illusion Greatsword, this was unprecedented!
At the same time, Ba Wenjing was shocked by the might of the Mountain Suppressing Hammer. As the wielder of the artifact, he was connected to the Spirit Illusion Greatsword and knew that it was heavily damaged by a single strike from his opponent. A large portion of the Spirit Illusion Greatsword's energy had been destroyed by the hammer, and it could no longer be used unless it was replenished.
However, he was on the battlefield right now. The enemy wouldn't give him the time to replenish his energy.
Ba Wenjing never thought that the Spirit Illusion Greatsword, which had always been invincible in the Sea of Constellations, would meet its nemesis. His opponent was able to destroy the Spirit Illusion Greatsword with a single strike.
However, the Spirit Illusion Greatsword was not to be underestimated. Even though it was heavily damaged, it still managed to block the Mountain Suppressing Hammer's attack.
The Spirit Illusion Greatsword was sent flying, and the Mountain Suppressing Hammer flew back to him.
Seeing that his opponent's transcendent artifact had lost its radiance, how could Zhao Lingtu let go of such an opportunity? He descended from the sky, wrapped his arms around the handle, and swung it once more.
Even though the ratio between man and hammer looked comical, Zhao Lingtu seemed to have the strength to lift a mountain. The giant hammer flew out of his hands with ease.
Anyone could tell that this had nothing to do with his strength. Instead, it was a way of controlling the Mountain Suppressing Hammer.
The giant Mountain Suppressing Hammer let out a thunderous rumble once more. It spun rapidly in the air, streaking across the sky at an unbelievable speed, and smashed down towards Ba Wenjing.
A giant black shadow descended from the sky in the blink of an eye, carrying with it the might of a thunderstorm. Before the hammer even arrived, the ground was already covered in dust and a strong gust of wind.
The Azure Sea Sect disciples abruptly lifted their heads and saw the giant hammer crashing down on them. They were scared out of their wits. It was already too late for them to escape. They waved the weapons in their hands and fought back against the giant hammer that was smashing towards them.
However, this was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot. With such a huge hammer smashing down at such a fast speed, one could imagine the force behind it.
Bang! Bang! The webbing between their thumb and forefinger that was holding their weapons burst open with blood. The weapons in their hands flew out one by one, and they could only watch helplessly as the giant hammer smashed down on their heads. Their eyes were filled with boundless terror, and the shock they felt was indescribable.
Both of Ba Wenjing's wrists had been broken, and the skin between his thumb and forefinger was dripping with blood, exposing his bones. His eyes were filled with despair, and for the first time, he felt a shiver from the depths of his soul. For the first time, he was so afraid, and for the first time, he realized how ignorant he was. For the first time, he realized how laughable his dream of becoming a superior being was, and for the first time, he realized how petty his elegant demeanor was in the face of death. There were so many people who were unwilling to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. What right did he have to think that he was stronger than the others and fight for it? There were countless experts in the world, it was just that he had not met them yet, so he became arrogant …
The last shred of despair and fear was destroyed by the giant hammer in the blink of an eye. His vision went black.
"Ah …"
"Hualulu …"
'Boom!' The ground trembled, and cracks began to appear. The screams of the humans and the fearful neighs of the dragon steeds were instantly drowned out.
Streams of blood spurted out from the bottom of the hammer as it crashed into the ground. Soon after, the remaining half of the hammer sank deep into the ground, and the cracks around it were terrifying to look at.
A strong gust of wind swept up the dust in all directions, almost blowing away the people around the hammer. Both men and steeds swayed from side to side.
The remaining Azure Sea Sect disciples raised their heads to look at the giant hammer. The fear in their eyes was indescribable. Who would dare to continue fighting? They immediately turned around and ran.
With a sinister smile on his face, Zhao Lingtu spread his fingers, and the giant hammer that had sunk deep into the ground was immediately pulled up, then flipped through the air and flew back to him.
Inside the crater formed by the impact were five lumps of mangled flesh. The flesh of humans and dragon steeds were all mixed together, and even their protective armor artifacts had been shattered by the impact. It was already impossible to tell which one was the gentle and elegant Ba Wenjing. They could only make a rough guess based on the location of the mangled flesh.
Up on the mountain, Miao Yi and the others couldn't help but grimace at the sight. Wasn't this hammer a little too powerful? Why did it feel like using this hammer to kill someone was a little cruel? They wondered which pervert had refined such a transcendent artifact.
"Trying to run?!" Zhao Lingtu let out a maniacal laugh as he led his fellow disciples in pursuit. He swung the giant hammer in his hand and swung it through the air again.
The rumbling of wind and thunder resounded through the sky once more. The fleeing Azure Sea Sect disciples turned around in fear, only to see a black shadow looming over them. Two more screams were abruptly silenced.
The Mountain Suppressing Hammer, which had smashed two more pieces of mangled flesh, was pulled out from the ground once more. It flipped through the air and landed in the hands of Zhao Lingtu, who was still charging towards them.
The giant hammer flew back and forth in the air, continuously smashing into the ground.
Hammer after hammer, it chased after the fleeing disciples as though they were pancakes. No one could withstand even half a hammer strike, and those who came into contact with it were immediately turned into minced meat. There was no room for negotiation.
The sight of it sent chills down the spines of the spectators on the mountain. Even from a distance away, they could still feel the violent tremors beneath their feet. They couldn't imagine what it would be like to go up against the Mountain Suppressing Hammer.
Everyone's hairs stood on end. After a while, they saw Zhao Lingtu and his fellow disciples return. The giant hammer was nowhere to be seen, and the Spirit Illusion Greatsword was in Zhao Lingtu's hands. He flipped it around and examined it. Zhao Lingtu seemed to be in a good mood after obtaining this transcendent artifact.
It was a pity that the Spirit Illusion Greatsword's energy was almost completely destroyed by his hammer strike. The energy recovery of a transcendent artifact like this wasn't something that could be satisfied with a few Yao Cores. He would have to figure out how to use it later.
The hidden troops on the mountain revealed themselves. At the foot of the mountain, Yu Baixing and the others were ordered to clean up the spoils of war.
Zhao Lingtu led his junior brothers up the mountain. Under everyone's respectful and envious gazes, he walked up to Miao Yi with the Spirit Illusion Greatsword in hand and cupped his fists, saying, "Reporting to Alliance Master. The enemies have all been killed. I, Zhao Lingtu, have accomplished my mission."
"Brother Zhao, you've worked hard." Miao Yi couldn't help clicking his tongue in admiration. "What an eye-opener today. With a hammer in hand, Brother Zhao is practically invincible!"
Zhao Lingtu wasn't the arrogant Ba Wenjing. He smiled bitterly and said, "Alliance Master, you flatter me. I don't even know if I can leave the Western Star Sea alive. I wouldn't dare to call myself invincible."
"Brother Zhao, what kind of transcendent artifact is that hammer of yours? It's a little too powerful! "Miao Yi couldn't help asking.
Zhao Lingtu replied, "It's the Mountain Suppressing Hammer given to me by my master before I left. It's just a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact, so it can't be considered powerful. There are many transcendent artifacts in this world that are more powerful than the Mountain Suppressing Hammer."
Miao Yi looked at the crowd and laughed, "When that Daoist used the Spirit Illusion Greatsword, he gave us a fright. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to withstand it. However, under Brother Zhao's Mountain Suppressing Hammer, he was instantly exposed. This Mountain Suppressing Hammer is truly a powerful transcendent artifact!"
Everyone nodded in agreement at his words.
"You flatter me!" Zhao Lingtu cupped his fists at the crowd, looking embarrassed.
Everyone thought he was being humble, but little did they know that Zhao Lingtu was truly embarrassed. Deep down, he knew that he had won this battle purely out of sheer luck.
It should be understood that in this world, powerful transcendent artifacts didn't necessarily make them invincible. There were plenty of people who could outsmart others. Compared to Ba Wenjing's Spirit Illusion Greatsword, Zhao Lingtu's Mountain Suppressing Hammer and Ba Wenjing's Spirit Illusion Greatsword were one in the same.
As soon as both parties used their transcendent artifacts, Zhao Lingtu knew that he was going to lose. He was so scared that he almost lost all hope. However, it was difficult to escape from such a transcendent artifact, so he had no choice but to fight with his life on the line.
Who knew that as soon as he swung his hammer, he would create such a huge surprise. The hammer actually broke the illusion of the Spirit Illusion Greatsword. If he couldn't break this illusion, then the true body of the Spirit Illusion Greatsword would be hidden within an illusion that even the transcendence vision couldn't see through. His defeat would be certain. He might not even know how he fell for it.
It should be understood that the illusion created by the Spirit Illusion Greatsword possessed sound, color, and form. It came crashing down like a torrential storm. It was impossible to tell which was real and which was fake.
At first, even Zhao Lingtu couldn't figure out how he managed to break the Spirit Illusion Greatsword. The bystanders naturally thought that his transcendent artifact was powerful enough to restrain the Spirit Illusion Greatsword. Only Zhao Lingtu himself knew that wasn't the case at all. Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to think too much about it during the battle.
After winning and seizing the Spirit Illusion Greatsword, Zhao Lingtu finally understood what had happened. There was only one reason why the Mountain Suppressing Hammer could break the Spirit Illusion Greatsword. It was because the Mountain Suppressing Hammer was large enough and had a wide area of attack. With a casual swing of the hammer, the large area of attack just happened to hit the true body of the Spirit Illusion Greatsword.
If the Mountain Suppressing Hammer had been half as large, judging from the situation at the time, it might not have been able to hit the true body of the Spirit Illusion Greatsword.
If the true body of the Spirit Illusion Greatsword hadn't been mixed in with the illusions, the one who would have died would have been Zhao Lingtu instead.
After thinking it through, Zhao Lingtu's back was drenched in cold sweat. How did he manage to win under such circumstances? Just how lucky was he? He even wondered if there was something wrong with Ba Wenjing's character. Even the heavens couldn't stand the sight of him and decided to use him to destroy him.
In any case, he had won this battle purely because he was luckier than his opponent.
Of course, Zhao Lingtu didn't have to reveal the truth of the matter. It was enough for him to say a few polite words. Maintaining a bit of a deterrent force was exactly what he wanted.
"Alliance Master, what should we do with this Spirit Illusion Greatsword?" Holding the Spirit Illusion Greatsword in his hand, Zhao Lingtu suddenly asked politely and hypocritically.
Everyone's gazes immediately fell on his hand. Who wouldn't want such a treasure?
Miao Yi was a little speechless. He thought, 'Would you even hand it over if I asked you to? Why do you have to pretend? '
"There is only one such artifact, and Brother Zhao was the one who obtained it after defeating a powerful foe. Naturally, it should belong to Brother Zhao."
Miao Yi had no choice but to say this. This was how he obtained the Mystic Yin Mirror earlier. There was no way he could say something like 'favoritism' now. The other party was clearly aware of this point as well. What's more, the other party had the Mountain Suppressing Hammer in his hand. Everyone had witnessed the might of the Mountain Suppressing Hammer for themselves. Who would dare to take it by force?
"Thank you, Alliance Master!" Zhao Lingtu casually kept the Spirit Illusion Greatsword into his pouch.
