Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

  Under the enhancement of the air, all his muscle fibers were burning sufficiently, unleashing the energy as powerful as the main thrusts of a warship.

  BOOM!

  Flames of light flowed out of his pores like magma, transforming him into a dazzling sun all of a sudden. However, the two parties that were engaged in a chaotic battle down below sensed none of it because his transformation was too fast. It was not until the sun was torn apart and the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit showed up majestically that a few jailors and prisoners who had the keenest senses put on an appalled look.

  Beep!

  Li Yao crashed on the floor like a shooting star, blowing away dozens of jailors and prisoners who were fighting in a mess!

  Thirty seconds of infinite craziness began!

  Chapter 2219: Brand-New Technique! |

  In the first second, crazy music that sounded like a sweeping tsunami echoed inside Li Yao's head, nerves, and veins as well as the space around him at the same time.

  The violent music that felt like heavy bombs not only boosted Li Yao's fighting will to the maximum but also smashed into the Covenant Alliance's "brainwave network" brutally, raising a serial explosion that blew the entire battle network into pieces.

  The prisoners of the Covenant Alliance that moved in unity as if they were one person had a moment of bewilderment, like marionettes whose strings were cut off and machines whose navigation system was broken.

  Right when Li Yao crashed on the ground, raising an overwhelming blast, dazzling gold brilliance erupted out of his body again.

  The gold brilliance interconnected with each other and condensed into mosaics that looked like a chessboard five meters around!

  In such a way, in the eyes of both the enemies next to him and the surveillance cameras that were everywhere, Li Yao was not wearing a crystal suit with distinctive features but a large gold cube that had been made of mosaics!

  It was exactly the brand-new technique that Li Yao had picked up in the Deep Sea Palace after summarizing the lessons of the previous battles—the Illumination Mosaic Art!

  Because of his distinctive battle styles and eye-catching style of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, his every battle would be recognized by the enemy.

  He could disguise himself by modifying the crystal suit crazily once or twice, but as time went by, some of the smart people would definitely notice the anomalies.

  Therefore, he had been considering hard on a technique that would prevent the enemy from seeing through his "peak state".

  The so-called "Illuminate Mosaic Art" was a way to trigger dazzling lights with spiritual energy, adjust the frequency of the lights, and form mosaic patterns that were different in depths and looked like a chessboard. It would be of great help to disrupt the scanning of the naked eye and the crystal cameras. If the enemy could not even see what he looked like, it was even less possible for them to see how he attacked!

  Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

  Li Yao thought quickly and boosted his spiritual energy. His spiritual energy entangled the splashing pieces in midair and accelerated them to above five times the speed of sound like a cannon, before they were shot at the most vulnerable parts of dozens of people from the Covenant Alliance!

  The barrage seemed to be casual but had in fact aimed at the most vulnerable and irresistible critical parts of the enemy's body.

  As it turned out, none of the thirty-two pieces missed their target. They left bloody holes the size of bowls on the captives of the Covenant Alliance.

  Despite the enhancement of their zealousness and their determination, the captives of the Covenant Alliance grunted and lost their combat ability!

  It was only the first second.

  In the next second, the butterfly wings on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit were stretched to the maximum, and the sharp edges on the wings paved a way of blood in the crowd of the prisoners of the Covenant Alliance by force, like a highly-revolving mincer!

  In Li Yao's perception, the captives of the Covenant Alliance were all dodging meaninglessly in the most sluggish movement. It was not until this moment that the devastating and irresistible desperation finally appeared on their faces!

  In the third second, the best experts of the prisoners of the Covenant Alliance lunged at Li Yao from all directions like a bunch of lifeless machines. Some of them had even found a way to get a blade, a weapon, or a crystal suit. Judging from their postures, they were ready to die with Li Yao.

  However, faced with Li Yao who had improved his level to the highest at the price of severe brain concussion, how could the captives of the Covenant Alliance be a match for him at all?

  Loopholes! Loopholes! Loopholes everywhere! You are almost mobile targets made of loopholes!

  Li Yao blinked quickly, and the dark gold, cubic mosaics split into almost ten phantoms, swallowing the captives of Covenant Alliance who came at him at the same time. After chewing hard for half a second, all of them were spat out again brutally, but none of the captives had one intact bone on their body!

  The fourth second, the fifth second, the sixth second, and the seventh second!

  Li Yao rose and jumped quickly, passing through the crowd of prisoners and arriving at the camp of the jailors.

  The jailors were all deeply awed by Li Yao's brutal performance. Seeing that he went on a killing spree in the middle of the captives, they thought that he was an expert on the Godly Might Prison's side.

  But as it happened, the identification system on every crystal suit was uttering screams, identifying the gold mosaics before their eyes as "highly-dangerous, unknown intruder", which made the jailors at a loss about what to do.

  "Don't stand here. Get out of my way!"

  Li Yao, who was on a rampage, shouted with a bloodstained voice that pierced into the faces of the jailors like an invisible blade. Those jailors were not the captives of the Covenant Alliance who had zero sense of fear. They all screamed and shuddered hard, only to be thrown into the crowd of the Covenant Alliance's prisoners by Li Yao casually.

  Behind the jailors was exactly the point of breakthrough that Li Yao had selected!

  The gold mosaics were immediately ten times brighter than before. The daggers of the gold mosaics stabbed into the retina of every jailor and every captive through the defensive layers on the masks of their helmets, depriving them of their eyesight temporarily.

  Sticking his hands to the wall made of superalloy, Li Yao took a deep breath again, and the crystal suit on his body was almost compressed into an iron ball. In the next moment, it was released brutally!

  BOOM!

  It was almost like the main guns of a super enormous warship had barraged the wall with all its firepower!

  No. It was not just one barrage, but…

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  Li Yao's arms were like two indestructible pile hammers, blowing a pathway almost twenty meters long before him. Melted alloys were dripping everywhere inside the pathway. The blast caused by the barrages soon spread to the entire district, almost blowing up the internal organs of all the jailors and captives. Everybody was bleeding on their face and waving their hands crazily!

  Shua! Shua! Shua!

  The map of the Godly Might Prison deep inside Li Yao's brain was infinitely enlarged again and covered the real world before his eyes, allowing him to understand the structure behind the hole perfectly.

  Also, after blowing through such a channel that was almost a straight line, the life energy hiding behind several alloy walls a moment ago became much clearer.

  Li Yao could sense the status of the more than ten clusters of life energy clearly. The battle was approaching the end, and one party seemed to have the situation under control.

  It remained to be seen whether the assassins of the Covenant Alliance won or the experts of the Godly Might Prison did!

  Li Yao narrowed his eyes, and the gold mosaic cube moved at a high speed again, turning into a streak of golden brilliance and rushing at the dozen cl
usters of life energy!

  I hope… there is still time!

  …

  Zuo Zongchao's bloodshot eyes slowly protruded out of his eye sockets as he stared at the sharp dagger that pierced from his back out of his chest in stillness. Sound of blood erupting echoed from his mouth, and pink, bloody bubbles popped out of his nostrils. He was both confused and desperate.

  Of course, he knew the sword; one that was as twisted as a transparent fishbone, with countless evil runes carved on the surface.

  At the present day when chainswords and vibration sabers prevailed, such secret swords produced in the old ways were rare to come by. As for a sword that was so delicately made and polished by countless experts for a thousand years, there was only one in the entire Godly Might Prison.

  The name of the sword was "Fishbone".

  "Fishbone" was also the nickname of the sword's master.

  "Fishbone" Hong Jiping was one of the four best experts of the Godly Might Prison, on par with "Devilish Tiger" Zuo Zongchao, both being battle-type experts in the Nascent Soul Stage. Although he was short and slim, his attacks could always choke the enemy like a fishbone.

  The four experts of the Godly Might Prison had also secretly practiced a teamwork tactic, in which "Fist Sting" Hong Jiping's sword was responsible for the most critical attack. It was supposed to kill the enemy in one move after the pretended attacks and the disruptions of his fellows!

  Therefore, when a riot took place inside the Godly Might Prison, and the riot escalated into an ambush of the Covenant Alliance, the four experts of the Godly Might Prison immediately went to the most confidential area of custody.

  "Lei Chenghu" was not the only person who was locked here. There were a lot of other people who were influential and highly valuable but who refused to cooperate with the four Kurfürst families for the time being.

  Naturally, such an important area deserved to be supervised by the four experts in person. Nothing could possibly go wrong by their estimation.

  More than ten assassins attacked the area in the middle of the chaos, with at least four of whom were battle-type experts in the Nascent Soul Stage. Their crystal suits and their magical equipment were even slightly better than the four experts' gears!

  Greatly shocked, the four experts had no choice but to deal with the enemy with the teamwork tactic that they had practiced day and night.

  Little did they anticipate that the deadly move of "Fishbone", which was supposed to be aimed at the enemy's throat, would pierce out of Zuo Zongchao's chest instead.

  Also, as the sword shivered, the sharp spiritual energy that felt like thousands of fishbones dispersed to every part on Zuo Zongchao's body, flowing all over his body through his veins and nerves and breaking all his major acupoints!

  Zuo Zongchao grunted and collapsed on the ground in excruciating pain, feeling that he was like a balloon riddled with holes, spurting out air and shriveling.

  With his head tilted, he happened to see "Fist Sting" Hong Jiping slowly retreating his sword. There was not the slightest expression or temperature on his face that was covered in iron.

  Are you from the Covenant Alliance?

  Zuo Zongchao was of a mind to tear off the guy's mask and see if the face hidden below was equally cold and sullen. Recalling the scenes where he trained with Hong Jiping before, he still found it hard to believe. How can you be from the Covenant Alliance? How is it possible?

  But all his words were drowned in blood. He could not utter any syllable anymore.

  His body was cold, and black foams were rolling before his eyes. He did not know that the Covenant Alliance had compromised the experts in the Nascent Soul Stage in the Imperium. Could the Imperium really secure a triumph when faced with such a brutal and weird enemy?

  Zuo Zongchao's eyes were gradually frozen, like two black, arc-shaped mirrors.

  In the reflection of the black mirrors, the assassins of the Covenant Alliance who had the advantage in number finished off the remaining guards quickly and got the situation under control at the shortest amount of time even at the cost of dying together with the "four experts of the Godly Might Prison"!

  Chapter 2220: God of War! |

  Two assassins of the Covenant Alliance strode to the gate of a secret door at the end of the pathway, before they took out four pieces of round magical equipment from their pockets and pressed them to the corners of the gate.

  The round magical equipment emitted squeaky noises and connected to each other with four red mystic rays of light. Then, two crossed rays shot out on the diagonals, and the six rays of light corroded the gate together. In less than ten seconds, a square hole was left on the gate, and the plate half a meter thick crashed to the ground.

  The other assassins of the Covenant Alliance all fell on one of their knees and guarded the main entrances and exits nearby, preparing to die with the guards of the Godly Might Prison at any moment to buy their companions more time.

  The two strongest assassins lowered their heads and were about to enter the hole when a black shadow dashed out of the secret room in advance!

  The black shadow was wearing Lei Chenghu's well-ironed uniform, and his movement was quite similar to Lei Chenghu's as he leaped forward, except that the look on his face was rather creepy, mixed with shock and confusion. His action was slightly rigid too, as if he were under somebody's control.

  In the middle of the emergency, the two assassins of the Covenant Alliance naturally had no time to think. Including "Fishbone" Hong Jiping with his transparent sharp blade, everybody attacked the critical parts of "Lei Chenghu" with their ultimate skills!

  But out of their expectation, right when they had carried out their moves to the maximum aggressively, a second black shadow dashed out of the secret room and lurked below the first shadow. He was older but even more agile, like a ferocious tiger that had gone off the mountain!

  When he dashed out of the secret room, he seemed to be naked or only wearing the underwear, but in 0.1 seconds, he had put on a daunting crystal suit, and the power claw made of five talons that were vibrating at a high frequency slashed at "Fishbone" Hong Jiping's abdomen brutally.

  It seemed that if "Fishbone" Hong Jiping were to send his sword into the heart of the first guy that jumped out, his own abdomen would certainly be dug out by the second guy!

  "That is not Lei Chenghu!"

  "This one here is Lei Chenghu!"

  Even the cold and ruthless assassins of the Covenant Alliance did not know that Lei Chenghu was not alone in the chamber but accompanied by someone so similar to himself.

  Also, little could they have imagined that Lei Chenghu would be so brutal as to figure out the situation the moment he heard the fighting noises outside, lock the joints and acupoints of the other person, put the guy in his own uniform, and throw him out as a "sandbag" and a "decoy"!

  Lei Chenghu's sudden counterattack caught the assassins of the Covenant Alliance unprepared. The assassins, including "Fishbone" Hong Jiping, had no choice but to abandon the "decoy" and turn to the real Lei Chenghu.

  Swoosh!

  "Fishbone" Hong Jiping's transparent blade pierced into Lei Chenghu's left hand brutally.

  Or rather, Lei Chenghu acted on his own to grab Hong Jiping's sword with his left hand, making the sword that had been passed on for a thousand years unable to move at all.

  His right arm, on the other hand, stabbed the power claw into Hong Jiping's abdomen exactly according to the posture just now.

  Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

  Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

  The secret sword unleashed thousands of spiritual waves that felt like needles as thin as hair, trying to crawl along the arm all the way to Lei Chenghu's internal organs and limbs.

  Lei Chenghu's power claw vibrated violently too. The flames of spiritual energy that had been suppressed for more than half a month erupted like a volcano, ripping, shattering, and burning Hong Jiping's internal organs into ashes!

  The weird damage of the swor
d only ascended to Lei Chenghu's left shoulder blade and could not move forward anymore.

  That was because Lei Chenghu had twisted and ripped off his own left arm by force on his own, preventing the attack of the sword from furthering.

  His powerful knuckle, on the other hand, moved forward in a slant and grabbed Hong Jiping's heart tightly, burning it into ashes!

  "Fishbone" Hong Jiping's eyes were wide open. He found it hard to believe that Lei Chenghu could be so ruthless even when flames of spiritual energy were popping up from his throat.

  In terms of combat ability, "Fishbone" Hong Jiping, who was known as one of the four best experts of the Godly Might Prison and enhanced by many secret techniques of the Covenant Alliance, was perhaps stronger than "God of War" Lei Chenghu who specialized in the arts of commanding.

  Lei Chenghu, however, told all the opponents with the toughest and coldest performances that "God of War" definitely deserved his name!

  In one attack, at the price of a left arm, he laid waste to the best expert of the assassins from the Covenant Alliance and earned the five seconds that were of paramount importance for him!

  The bleeding wound on his left shoulder blade was soon covered by the gel-like medicines. Lei Chenghu retreated the bloodstained power claws from the body of "Fishbone" Hong Jiping and waved it hard, throwing away blood and suspicious broken meat. He roared in excitement and stared at the remaining opponents, not bothering to look at his broken limb and his eldest son who had passed out on the ground at all.

  His back hunched, Lei Chenghu breathed heavily, opening and closing his power claws. Infinite bloodiness spread out of his body. He was exactly like a caged beast fighting in a desperate fight in a pit!

  At this moment, because nobody foresaw that "Fishbone" Hong Jiping would be heavily wounded, the siege of the assassins had a fatal gap.

  All the assassins focused their attention on the gap caused by the collapse of "Fishbone" Hong Jiping. Quite a few assassins were ready to fill in the vacancy. Some of them even thought that Lei Chenghu would break out of the siege from there and locked onto the route of Lei Chenghu's escape with their remote magical equipment in advance.
