137: Chapter 134: Resilience (Triple update climax, seeking monthly ticket) 137: Chapter 134: Resilience (Triple update climax, seeking monthly ticket) Chu Xisheng unleashed nine consecutive slashes, exerting his full strength against the invisible barrier surrounding the Medicine Pond.
The Forbidden Technique outside the Medicine Pond was extremely resilient, so much so that even a Sixth Grade Martial Cultivator found it challenging to cross.
However, Chu Xisheng, relying on his own “Divine Sorrow Breaking Technique” and the Butterfly Double Knives mixed with Shoushan copper in his hands, wore it down little by little.
Each of his slashes damaged parts of the rune structure, thus each cut pierced deeper than the last.
After nine slashes, Chu Xisheng had moved forward one step.
The initially invisible and intangible barrier gradually became visible to everyone.
Rows upon rows of Golden Talisman Jade Scrolls hung in mid-air, interwoven and overlapping like a wall surrounding the Medicine Pond.
By this time, each of Chu Xisheng’s slashes caused some of these Golden Talisman Jade Scrolls to shatter.
Divine Mechanism Scholar Situ Li was astonished.
Could this young man be thinking of forcefully breaking through the outer Forbidden Technique and entering the Medicine Pond to destroy his “Blood Essence Transformation”?
At that moment, Chu Xisheng, with an indifferent look, unleashed his tenth slash, destroying twenty-four Golden Talisman Jade Scrolls and taking a second step forward.
—The Forbidden Technique around the Medicine Pond only locked up a distance of five steps!
Situ Li frowned deeply.
“A mere Ninth Grade, and he dares to obstruct my path?”
Situ Li could no longer focus completely on his physical transformation.
He forcefully split a portion of his Divine Thought, pressing it toward Chu Xisheng: “Presumptuous, begone!”
A spurt of fresh blood suddenly erupted from Chu Xisheng’s mouth.
Yet his hand remained steady as a vise, thrusting out the eleventh blade.
Astonishingly, this strike was more powerful than the previous ones.
A total of thirty-one Golden Talisman Jade Scrolls were obliterated!
Situ Li’s brow furrowed into a character ‘川’.
Although most of his Primordial Spirit Power was concentrated on “Blood Essence Transformation,” just a thread of it was split off.
But even this mere thread of Divine Power was formidable!
Yet Chu Xisheng was not only not repelled by his Divine Thought, but he also advanced instead of retreating, his momentum increasing even more.
“Foolish as a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
Situ Li’s expression grew colder and he once again uttered the word ‘begone,’ like thunder rolling in the heavens.
Behind him, Vengeful Martial Intent took shape, conjuring a giant ancient bird in the air.
The giant bird resembled a white crane, spreading its pair of wings.
However, its head was adorned with deer antlers, its head and neck covered with spiral and triangular cloud patterned feathers, while the area connecting its belly and wings seemed to have a Panlong encircling it.
—This was a “Deer Crane,” a powerful ancient bird Divine Beast, adept in resisting wind and employing Immortal Techniques, and it fed on snakes, pythons, and fish.
At that moment, it extended its long beak, pecking down toward Chu Xisheng’s head.
As a spiritual power storm explosively burst forth in front of Chu Xisheng, blood also streamed from his orifices.
His mind reeled momentarily, but he quickly recovered.
Fiercely, he swung another slash, shattering thirty-five more Golden Talisman Jade Scrolls!
Simultaneously, a giant beast with the head of a dragon and the body of a zheng materialized behind him.
The long blade held in the beast’s mouth seemed to solidify, clashing against the descending beak.
Meanwhile, in the virtual screen before Chu Xisheng, the word “Vengeance” in the status bar had turned bright red.
—Your Vengeful Blade Intent has been temporarily elevated to an extremely strong level!
This was the first time Chu Xisheng’s Sword Intent had been stimulated to this level.
He felt his spirit soaring limitlessly, his Thought solidifying like steel, indestructible and unshakeable!
Above the Medicine Pond, Situ Li, seeing only the materialized “Vengeful” beast, knew the situation was dire.
Vengeful Blade Intent thrives when met with stronger opponents!
The kill intent he harbored only spurred Chu Xisheng’s “Vengeful” Blade Intent to grow even stronger, elevating the boy’s Primordial Spirit Power to its limits.
At that moment, he even felt a Divine Thought Impact rushing back towards him.
His Deer Crane Sword Intent was being reflected by the Vengeful Blade Intent and was attacking him instead.
Situ Li could no longer control it.
The fact that he was forced to transform into a demon made Situ Li’s hatred for the boy peak, wishing nothing more than to consume his flesh, drink his blood, sleep on his skin, and suck his marrow!
Each time Chu Xisheng struck with his blade or advanced a step, it increasingly agitated the unrest within him, and his intent to kill Chu Xisheng grew stronger.
“This old man has to see how long you can hold out,” Situ Li muttered.
Blood suddenly trickled from Situ Li’s nostrils.
This was a sign that his body was falling apart.
Not only was Situ Li unable to continue shaping his physical form any longer, but the parts that had been formed were also on the brink of collapse.
However, as a price, Situ Li was able to draw forth ten percent of his Divine Power and crush it towards Chu Xisheng.
Having reached this point, how could he allow his efforts to come to naught?
No one could stop him!
Blood burst forth from Chu Xisheng’s seven apertures once again.
He knelt on the ground, not only suffering excruciating pain in his Divine Thought as if it were being sliced and shredded by a thousand blades.
His entire skeleton was also cracking sounds.
At that moment, the enormous Deer Crane suddenly scattered countless feathers, fluttering towards the Medicine Pond.
Each feather, imbued with Situ Li’s Sword Intent, sliced a swath of blood across Chu Xisheng’s body.
Chu Xisheng tightly gripped the Twin Blades, struggling to stand, yet his attempts continually failed, forcefully pinned to the ground by Situ Li’s Sword Intent.
He then managed, with great effort, to lift his head and painfully made eye contact with Situ Li.
Chu Xisheng’s eyes turned a deep red, yet a smile slowly formed at the corners of his lips.
In his mind at that moment, there was only one thought.
He couldn’t be crushed by this man, absolutely not!
If he were crushed, he would surely die!
To hell with these immortals!
A perfectly good journey into the Secret Realm, yet spoiled by this master-disciple pair.
The thought that not only might he not obtain the Divine Sky Rejuvenation Pill this time, but he might also become a stepping stone for Situ Li’s ascension, made Chu Xisheng extremely furious.
Get up, you weakling!
I, Chu Xisheng, should never kneel before such a person!
Chu Xisheng tried once more to rise; the blood vessels at the corners of his eyes burst under the pressure, and the flowing blood slowly blurred his vision.
Yet Chu Xisheng ignored it all, trying his utmost to stand.
A debt of gratitude must be repaid, and a grudge for vengeance must be avenged!
If this scum wanted him dead, then he would have to leave his life in return!
At this moment, Chu Xisheng had not yet noticed.
In his character panel, the “Vengeful Martial Intent (Fourth Level)” had astonishingly changed to “Vengeful Martial Intent (Fifth Level)”.
At the same time, the status column’s “Vengeful” turned a deep purple color.
—Your Vengeful Blade Intent has temporarily reached its limit!
Chu Xisheng suddenly stood, wielding the Butterfly Double Knife, and stabbed forward three times in rapid succession, tearing a huge gash in the rune barrier before him.
In an instant, countless pure Medicine Spirits burst forth from within.
In Situ Li’s eyes, a Divine Mechanism Scholar, there was only confusion, astonishment, fear, and despair.
