387: Chapter 387 One Against Eight

[The ninth figure appeared like a ghost, appearing without warning three feet behind Yun Xiaozi!]

[This person had been lurking the deepest, his aura perfectly concealed, only striking at this moment of certain death!]

[His cultivation was shockingly at Soul Transformation Perfection!]

[And he was a top-tier assassin skilled in concealment and assassination, with an aura as cold as Ten-thousand-year-old Profound Ice!]

[He held a Void Realm Blade as thin as a cicada's wing and nearly transparent, its edge flowing with a chill that could freeze the Divine Soul, silently stabbing toward Yun Xiaozi's vital heart point!]

[This strike's timing, angle, and power were all beyond words!]

["Squelch—!"]

[The Void Realm Blade easily tore through the Protective Spiritual Light Yun Xiaozi had hastily condensed, stabbing deep into his back!]

["Ugh!"]

[Yun Xiaozi's body shook violently, he let out a muffled groan, and for the first time, a look of pain appeared on his small face.]

[An icy, poisonous, and strange power that directly invaded the Meridians and Divine Soul surged frantically through the wound!]

[His reaction was also extremely fast; the moment he was struck, a violent Crimson Gold Spiritual Flame erupted from his body, forcibly shaking off the Soul Transformation Perfection assassin while using the force to leap forward.]

[But he was half a step too slow after all.]

[Blood quickly seeped from the wound on his back, staining a large area red.]

[More troublesome was that the poisonous power was wreaking havoc inside him, causing his aura to stagnate and his face to turn a few shades paler.]

[He stabilized himself and looked back at the ninth Soul Transformation Perfection assassin, his gaze turning completely cold.]

["There's one more... hiding quite deeply indeed."]

["However, you think you can kill This young master with just these few pieces of trash?"]

[You look at the rapidly changing battlefield, your brow furrowing slightly.]

[Because you clearly knew that besides the eight Spirit Transformation Cultivators who had already appeared, there was this ninth person.]

[Therefore, you haven't made a move yet!]

[This person hadn't revealed the slightest bit of aura from start to finish; even you hadn't been able to accurately locate his hiding place before.]

[The precision of his timing and the brilliance of his concealment as he suddenly launched a fierce attack from such a close distance and tricky angle made even your heart tremble slightly.]

[This strike was nearly perfect.]

[If not for Yun Xiaozi's extremely fast reaction and profound cultivation, the consequences would have been unpredictable.]

["As expected... none who can Cultivate to Soul Transformation are simple characters," you thought to yourself,]

["This person's Dao of concealment and assassination has been practiced to the extreme."]

["Even for me, if I were caught off guard and faced this strike, I might find it difficult to escape unscathed."]

[You subconsciously evaluated your own methods against the opponent's.]

[You have a killing treasure like the immortal slaying sword, with enough attack power to threaten or even crush the opponent.]

[But the problem is—if you can't even find where the opponent is, no matter how strong the attack, it's useless.]

["This person... must be eliminated."]

[Your gaze was deep as you firmly etched the aura characteristics of that Soul Transformation Perfection assassin into your Divine Sense.]

[This is definitely an extremely dangerous opponent who requires high vigilance.]

[Just as your thoughts were racing and you were analyzing the situation—]

[Yun Xiaozi raised his hand and used his sleeve to harshly wipe away the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth; instead of showing signs of defeat, the fire in his eyes burned even more intensely and crazily.]

[Inside his small body, a terrifying aura that made the surrounding space tremble was rising steadily like a waking volcano!]

[Seeing this, the eight Spirit Transformation Cultivators all felt their hearts tighten.]

[They exchanged glances and instantly reached a consensus—this kid absolutely cannot be judged by common sense; they must give their all for a killing blow!]

["Everyone, he's already heavily injured! We must go all out, don't hold back anymore!" the Soul Transformation Perfection assassin shouted sharply, his voice carrying a hint of determination.]

[Before his voice even faded—]

["Boom!"]

["Boom...!"]

[Eight vast and powerful auras of different attributes soared into the sky from the eight people simultaneously!]

[They no longer held back, directly using the method that consumes a Spirit Transformation Cultivator's Origin the most—the Primordial Spirit Dharma Idol!]

[One after another, massive phantom figures hundreds of feet tall appeared over the ruins!]

[The eight idols had different forms, yet all emitted a power that could destroy heaven and earth, completely turning this devastated city district into a battlefield of gods and demons!]

[The terrifying pressure of the Dharma Idols intertwined, causing the low-level Cultivators in the distance who were lucky enough not to die to feel their hearts and gall bladders burst with fear, losing even the strength to flee.]

[Facing the eight towering and terrifying Dharma Idols, Yun Xiaozi threw his head back and roared, his voice shaking the surroundings:]

["Come! Let This young master see just how much you're worth!"]

[His hands rapidly formed seals, and the Crimson Gold spiritual light and Five Elements divine light around him converged and fused frantically; a more majestic and grand aura, seemingly originating from the beginning of heaven and earth, erupted from his small body!]

["Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena Dharma Idol, appear!"]

["Rumble—!!!"]

[A golden giant hundreds of feet tall, even more solid than those eight idols, rose from the ground!]

[The Dharma Idol's entire body was as if cast from Glazed Gold, its face blurred yet carrying supreme majesty, its eyes like two blazing suns, illuminating the eight ant-like idols opposite it!]

[One against eight!]

[Without another word of nonsense, the moment both sides' strongest forms appeared, the battle entered its most tragic and direct stage of collision!]

["Kill!"]

[The eight Spirit Transformation Cultivators roared in unison, driving their respective Dharma Idols to perform their ultimate life-bond Divine Abilities!]

[Eight Divine Abilities, eight destructive forces, bombarded from all directions like an inescapable net toward the golden Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena Dharma Idol in the center!]

[Golden light burst from Yun Xiaozi's Dharma Idol's eyes, showing no fear. He raised his left hand toward the sky, evolving a defensive barrier of Chaos's beginning; his right hand condensed a Tri-colored Flame Divine Sword that swept across the world, slashing out a world-shaking sword light that shattered Laws!]

["Boom—!!!"]

[A terrifying explosion beyond words occurred at this moment!]

[The ultimate collision of nine massive Dharma Idols generated energy that had already exceeded the scope of ordinary "Spells"; it was the annihilation of Laws!]

[A multicolored energy ball, so blinding it was impossible to look at directly, was first born at the center of the collision, its diameter instantly expanding to ten thousand feet!]

[Immediately after—]

["Buzz—!!!"]

[There was no loud noise, only a strange buzzing that felt as if heaven and earth themselves were mourning, enough to shatter one's Divine Soul!]

[The multicolored light ball, like an inflated balloon, expanded frantically in all directions at an unimaginable speed!]

[One hundred miles, two hundred miles, three hundred miles...]

[Wherever the light ball passed, everything tangible or intangible—whether it was uncollapsed buildings, residual Formation spiritual light, fleeing Cultivators, or even the bricks and dust on the ground...]

[The moment they touched this pure destructive energy, they silently annihilated and vaporized like ice and snow under a blazing sun!]

[There was no explosion, no firelight, only the most thorough erasure!]

[In just the blink of an eye!]

[Centering on the point of engagement, a massive urban area nearly a thousand miles in diameter—almost equivalent to one-third of the core area of Eternal Night Immortal City—was completely submerged by this terrifying light ball!]}],
