Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Is there really such a genius in this world?

Xia He swallowed the pill that was about to be completed.

Xia He couldn’t help himself anymore; he couldn’t continue waiting.

He knew that if things continued like this, the situation would definitely turn against him.

Even though this pill was still lacking somewhat, and might not deliver its full effect after consumption,

he didn’t know if he’d even have the chance to eat this pill once Xu Ming’s plan succeeded.

Xu Ming and others also noticed Xia He’s actions.

Xu Ming and Xuenuo exchanged a glance with the Heavenly Profound Mirror, noticing Wang Xuan’s dharma form guarding it. Without wasting time, they rushed towards Xia He.

Xu Ming activated Blood Qi Berserk and Dao Pattern Eye, pushing his body to its limits.

His spiritual energy burned like a raging fire, evaporating endlessly.

In the past, when both of Xu Ming’s techniques were active, he always worried about whether his spiritual energy would last.

But now, having entered the Jade Pudding Realm, Xu Ming discovered that with the current density of his spiritual energy, it could at least sustain for two hours.

And this great battle wouldn’t take two hours—it would be decided within one.

Xu Ming swung his sword at an incredible speed, each slash aiming directly for the opponent’s vital points. Xia He summoned the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Turtle Shell once more, trying to block Xu Ming.

But in the blink of an eye, the turtle shell was slashed dozens of times by Xu Ming, even developing cracks.

Finding an opportunity, Xia He spat out nine miniature swords that flew straight toward Xu Ming’s forehead.

“Damn!”

Xu Ming cursed under his breath.

This damn guy is already higher in rank than me, and now with the Heavenly Profound Gate’s array boosting him, he’s resorting to ambush tactics.

How disgraceful! Xu Ming almost got skewered by those nine flying swords.

Fortunately, Xuenuo moved her sword finger, conjuring four water walls to block them in front of Xu Ming.

“You scoundrel!”

Xuenuo shouted, waving her sleeve to reflect the nine tiny swords back at Xia He.

Xia He deflected the nine swords, then struck a palm towards Xu Ming and Xuenuo.

The crowd watched as Xu Ming and Xuenuo fought fiercely with the Sect Master of the Heavenly Profound Gate, showing no signs of being overwhelmed.

Isn’t this an accomplished veteran cultivator at the peak of the Xiānrén Jìng? And these two cultivators are merely at the Jade Pudding Realm, right? With only the Jade Pudding Realm, they can match Xia He?

What kind of genius is this?!

Xu Ming seized an opportunity, swinging his sword down at Xia He.

For Xuenuo’s sword, Xia He dared to meet it head-on, but Xu Ming was an exception.

Xia He always had a feeling that if he met Xu Ming’s sword head-on, he would either die or end up severely injured! Xia He dodged Xu Ming’s sword strike, which instead split the ground beneath, creating a hundred-meter-long crack.

Xia He grabbed Xu Ming’s wrist and delivered a powerful punch.

Xu Ming channeled Martial True Qi, unleashing Shock God Fist to clash with Xia He.

“Boom!”

Spiritual Energy and Martial True Qi collided.

“Damn!” Xia He cursed.

He thought he could deal serious damage with this single blow.

But he forgot—this Xu Ming wasn’t just a Sword Cultivator, he was also a Martial Artist! And his Martial Artist level was extraordinary.

Is there really someone in this world who’s a genius in both martial arts and cultivation, with talent so divine?

Xu Ming kicked Xia He in the chest. Xia He frowned tightly, suppressing the blood rising in his throat, chanting a Dharma Decree aimed at Xu Ming’s heart. Sensing danger, Xu Ming crossed his sword in front of his chest.

The surge of spiritual energy made Xu Ming spit out a mouthful of blood, and a white hole was pierced through the clouds high behind him.

Xu Ming swung his sword again at Xia He’s head. Xia He turned his head to dodge, then kicked Xu Ming, causing them to separate. However, Xia He’s ear fell to the ground, blood streaming down his cheek.

Xia He glared fiercely at Xu Ming. Even though he was already at the Xiānrén Jìng and could regenerate limbs easily, having his ear cut off was an immense humiliation for Xia He! “You all must die!”

Xia He roared furiously, biting his finger until it bled, drawing a large circle in the air with his blood. The blood swirled like painting in the air, forming cryptic and strange runes.

Seeing these runes, some experienced cultivators widened their eyes in shock.

Could it be that Xia He… And indeed, it was exactly what most cultivators suspected.

“BOOM!”

With a thunderous roar, the runes transformed into a magical array, releasing bizarre giant birds from the blood formation.

These giant birds had several deformed heads, covered with eyes on their heads, pitch-black bodies, and wings that were indescribably strange.

“Xia He! You dare collude with these abyssal demons!”

“Xia He! How do you face your ancestors?”

“Xia He! Are you even human?!”

“Doing this, how can you face the martyrs of our race?!”

Many cultivators berated Xia He.

But these curses meant nothing to Xia He.

Ancestors?

Am I even human?

As long as I can step into the Ascension Realm, what are ancestors worth? I’d rather stop being human!

Under Xia He’s command, these demonic creatures automatically sought out enemies, heading first towards Xu Ming, who posed the greatest threat.

Xu Ming chopped off one demon bird’s head with a single sword swing, leaped onto its hand, raised his sword, and thrust it forcefully downward! “Waaaah!!”

The demon bird’s scream was strange and eerie.

But Xu Ming’s piercing sword qi had already pierced through the bird!

At that moment, another bird swooped down at Xu Ming. Xu Ming stomped hard, sending the bird crashing down while he leaped toward another bird.

Grass Word Technique —— Fufeng.

Xu Ming swung his sword, the sword qi slicing through the wind, turning the bird into a mist of blood.

More and more cultivators attacked towards Xia He, while the Heavenly Profound Mirror was escorted by Wang Xuan’s Dharma Heaven and Earth technique, rushing towards Three Stone Peak.

However, more and more giant birds emerged from the blood formations, densely packed.

They devoured the flesh and blood of the cultivators, drilling through their skulls.

Under the protection of these demons, Xu Ming and the others couldn’t get close to Xia He.

They could only watch helplessly as Xia He reached the top of the Xuantian Tree, reaching out to grab the blood sphere that was continuously condensing.

As if sensing something, the blood sphere quickly collapsed inward, transforming from gas into solid.

Within less than five breaths, the original blood sphere had condensed into a pill.

Xia He excitedly picked up the pill with trembling hands, tears of excitement shining in his eyes.

Raising his head, Xia He swallowed the pill in one gulp.
