185: Sword power
Watching Han Yi move through the horde of monsters as if strolling through a garden, effortlessly striking them down, this relaxed and casual demeanor was like a Divine Being reborn.
Tao Wu instantly grew anxious again. Although he had transformed into a wooden figure, his mind was not a block of wood. He had also noticed that Tao Gu and Da Mao had been dealt with by Han Yi, and knew that this was the most crucial moment. If Han Yi finished clearing out his subordinates and then ganged up on him...
That would truly be difficult to handle!
Thus, his figure grew even larger, transforming from a limping, withered old man into a terrifying, monstrous wooden figure covered in sprouting wooden whiskers.
At this, Huang An once again fell into a bitter struggle, facing perilous situations.
Fortunately, with Han Yi's support, Huang Long and Sun Yunsheng were freed up and went to help Huang An.
“Hold on!!!”
While Han Yi was wreaking havoc among the monster horde, he roared, shouting towards Huang An's direction.
So, the three of them—Huang An, Huang Long, and Sun Yunsheng—desperately withstood Tao Wu's frenzied assault. They also understood that as long as they waited for Han Yi to deal with these mutated villagers who feared no blades or axes and exchanged injuries for injuries...
Then, there was a high possibility of victory being within reach, and they could get out alive!
Moreover, the strongest person here now was Han Yi; following his instructions was the only way to survive!
Soon, Han Yi completely cleared out dozens of monsters, and he did so with almost no effort. With a casual punch, he could knock down a fierce-looking monster, and a sweeping kick was like an autumn wind clearing fallen leaves, taking out a large area at once.
“Move aside!”
He shouted loudly.
Huang An and the other two, who had been waiting for that command, instantly scattered like birds and beasts.
Han Yi activated Dual Blade Sword Kill, and its concentrated characteristic was quickly activated, searching for possible flaws in Tao Wu's body.
He suddenly leaped up, forcefully stirred the Qi and blood throughout his body, and fiercely swung the Xuan Tie Sword, slashing towards Tao Wu's left leg!
This was precisely the leg that Tao Wu had previously limped on and needed a crutch for!
Although this person had transformed into a monster, it seemed that years of living habits still prevented this area from receiving full training!
At this moment, Han Yi's eyes darted, and suddenly, he saw a trace of a playful, “You fell for it!” expression in Tao Wu's eyes!
“Oh no, is this a trap?”
It made sense; although Tao Wu had turned into a monster, his intelligence didn't seem to have diminished much. He would naturally make special preparations to guard against his weaknesses.
But at this point, Han Yi had already committed his strength and could not stop his attack in time!
Just as Han Yi rushed in front of Tao Wu, he vaguely saw Tao Wu's skin.
Puff! Puff!
Tao Wu's skin instantly burst open, and countless plant roots emerged from his muscles and orifices, lashing out at Han Yi!
Among the myriad whip-like shadows, a few were particularly tricky, attempting to penetrate Han Yi's body through his orifices and lower body.
“Oh no!”
Huang An and the others watching from the side instantly cried out in alarm. They had just witnessed Chen Ping being penetrated by these roots, his blood drained until he died...
If Han Yi were also struck by such strange roots... he would likely repeat the same mistake and fall midway!
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing erupted. Those roots, like diamond drills, seemingly indestructible, only left faint white marks on Han Yi's skin before quickly fading away!
“What?”
Upon seeing this scene, an incredulous feeling rose in Tao Wu's heart, and a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind: Are you the monster, or am I the monster?
He had once tested the hardness of these roots; they were harder than any weapon he could find, and what was most commendable was that these roots, while hard, also possessedtoughness!
And now...
If he hadn't transformed into a wooden figure, making his muscles difficult to move, this sight would have made his jaw drop!
'The Iron Wall characteristic of Golden Muscle Jade Bone Skill indeed has good defense!'
Han Yi used his hand as a blade, cutting off a few roots that were trying to entangle him, and nodded with satisfaction.
In that situation, he had no time to dodge, so he had to fully activate the Iron Wall characteristic. Who knew, the Iron Wall effect had unexpected results...
“Next, it should be my turn...”
Han Yi's gaze was like a torch, fixed on Tao Wu. This Tao Wu was truly a character; not only was he powerful, but his mind was also very nimble, full of petty schemes.
However, now, it should be my turn!
At this moment, Tao Wu, having missed with a big move, his entire body was like a character who had just unleashed a powerful skill, entering a brief state of rigidity!
'Saber Aura, Solid as a Mountain!'
Han Yi closed his eyes and concentrated, recalling the scenes of Heart-Eye Saber using Saber Aura from his memories...
His entire body's Qi and blood rapidly condensed, then burst forth. All his strength concentrated on the Xuan Tie Sword, and he held the sword with both hands, slowly raising it.
Subsequently, a unique Aura emanated from Han Yi's body, as if he were a Golden Body Divine Being cultivating on the peak of a towering mountain, capable of crushing clouds and the majestic mountains beneath his feet with a mere raise of his hand—an unparalleled Aura.
As the Xuan Tie Sword was raised to its highest point, this Aura suddenly retracted, making Han Yi's entire person appear ordinary. This extreme contrast created an illusion that made one feel nauseous, almost wanting to vomit.
Little did they know, at this moment, his entire body's Qi was condensed and not dispersed, his killing intent not leaked, just like an old farmer in the fields, wielding his iron hoe that he had used for half his life.
Then, this seemingly flawed sword, full of weaknesses, slowly descended again, simple and unremarkable, as if one could easily dodge it with a slight turn of the body!
However, this seemingly rigid and laughable sword, in Tao Wu's eyes, was like Mount Tai pressing down, utterly impossible to dodge!
Tao Wu's wooden shell instinctively trembled, facing imminent death, causing the roots all over his body to frantically retract and extend...
Under the Qi lock, looking around, he only felt as if in the heavens and earth, only that divine mountain falling from high altitude remained.
Vast as the world may be, no matter if you ascend to the heavens or descend into the earth, or travel across the five lakes and four seas, you cannot escape!
Demons and monsters, no matter how cunning or sly you are, or how many petty tricks you employ, I have but one sword!
At the end of the Xuan Tie Sword's blade, all the air seemed to be compressed to nothing by this heavy divine mountain, creating a massive pulling force that caused an intense sense of suffocation!
“You, you, you can't kill me!!!”
Tao Wu's face contorted wildly, the roots on his body withered, but his body involuntarily moved closer to the sword blade.
As this sword was thrust out, under the powerful pulling force, one would rush towards the sword light like a moth to a flame!
“If I die again, Mama will...”
In the very end, like all villains, Tao Wu howled like a defeated dog, making his dying declaration.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed. Under the oppressive Saber Aura of Solid as a Mountain, Tao Wu shattered into countless wooden splinters, exploding outwards!
Finally, the sword fell, and the person died!
“Hoo, hoo...”
“This should be over now!”
Looking at the combat power value on Tao Wu's body rapidly dropping to zero in his vision, Han Yi let out a long breath. Using the Saber Aura of Solid as a Mountain had greatly consumed his essence, Qi, and spirit.
At this moment, he surveyed the courtyard. The surroundings were a mess, with severed limbs scattered everywhere. Deep pits left by the battle were filled with blood mixed with unknown fluids, trickling out. The entire courtyard ground was crimson, extremely horrifying!
