Chapter 159: The decisive battle – the Seven Star Battle (Part 2)
As the step got closer and closer to the point of impact, the planet spinning in my mind became larger and larger, completely pressing towards me!
This is the most difficult part of the Heaven and Earth Step. If I can’t withstand the crushing force of the planet, the world of thought will be completely shattered, which means that the mind of the person who cast the spell will also be completely shattered.
At that moment, I mobilized the power of heaven and earth in my body, and the heaven and earth in my body resonated with the omnipresent power of heaven and earth around me. The heaven and earth around me slowly surged, enveloping me. With such power to support me, I could completely withstand the crushing of this step.
So, I took this step with all my might.
With a loud bang, the star closest to me, which was about to crush me, suddenly rotated and flew away, hanging in the distance of my world of thought. In a world of darkness, the first star lit up, and the outline of the Big Dipper finally appeared in my world of thought.
With the first crucial step, I finally regained my sight and felt a star force descending from the sky, enveloping the space I had stepped into.
Fortunately, it was completely within my tolerance range, and I continued to step on the step gong with a blank expression.
Over there, I saw the ferryman standing in midair, using his right foot as a fulcrum, his entire body leaning back fiercely, the arm with the dragon tattoo wrapped around it slung behind him, roaring furiously…
In front of him, the ghost king had already extended his huge foot and was roaring at the same time. Under the tangled muscles on his body, the power surged towards the raised foot like a tide. The new city lord sitting on his body also had a serious expression on his face at the moment.
Although I have no thoughts in this state, I am so sensitive to changes in the surrounding space that I can feel the new city lord constantly instilling power into the ghost king.
In my opinion, if it weren’t for the support of the New City Lord’s power, the ghost king wouldn’t have been able to withstand the ferryman’s three punches, and it was the first three punches.
I kept stepping on the step-gong. Although all this fighting seemed complicated, it actually happened in a very short time. The ferryman said that he could withstand ten punches. Even in this state, I still had a strong sense of urgency.
The seventh punch, just a subconscious thought that popped into my mind!
“Ah…” was the last cry of the ferryman, and then his body suddenly leaned forward, and the arm that was thrown behind him, with the fist like a cannonball, was launched toward the ghost king with a trembling power, and struck the ghost king fiercely.
“Roar…” The ghost king also let out a thunderous roar, and then, facing the ferryman’s fist, a large foot stepped heavily toward the ferryman.
“Tianxuan.” I silently repeated to myself, and the second planet appeared in my mind’s eye. It was still spinning, and as I stepped down, it kept pressing down on me.
At this moment, the ferryman and the ghost king’s fists and feet collided. The ghost king’s big foot was stopped by the ferryman’s fist. At this moment, they quietly crossed, and the ghost king’s entire thigh kept trembling, and the power surged violently under the muscles.
The blood dragon tattoo on the ferryman’s arm suddenly raised its head!
“Stop!” In a subconscious panic, I slammed down the kick. Because of the panic, the planet was crushing down on me at a speed several times that of the previous planet. The power of heaven and earth in my body was also flowing rapidly. The resonance between heaven and earth was still caused, but the difference was that the power of heaven and earth, which had originally flowed slowly, became rapid at this time…
The planet finally stopped and then moved away. Due to the violent flow of the surrounding celestial and earthly forces, my soul also experienced waves of unbearable pain, but finally the second star of the Big Dipper lit up.
A new star power came from the sky and landed in this space.
My vision returned, and I saw the body of the Ghost King begin to waver. Then, starting from the foot that had been struck, large cracks began to appear on the body, and then the body began to break apart like broken porcelain.
“Hey…” the lord of the new city sighed, jumped off the ghost king’s shoulder, stood next to the ghost king, folded his hands in his sleeves, and said with a tone of regret, “Stupid, you are still useless! When I let your old city exist to cover up the new city’s actions, you cried and begged for cooperation. When it comes to cooperation, you are so bad. With my support, you can’t last more than seven punches from this guy.”
The ghost king of the old city slowly turned his head and looked at the lord of the new city. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at my master, with a hint of regret in his eyes. He let out a few cries, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, and turned into a pile of soul fragments, drifting in the air…
The ferryman looked at the lord of the new city, his eyes full of incomprehensible anger, sadness, memories and desolation, but no hatred…
The lord of the new city looked at the ferryman and smiled. His ordinary face suddenly became lively. His eyes were squinted when he smiled, and he looked exceptionally kind!
This… I was so focused on the power of the step-gong that I almost got bitten by it. It was so familiar, so familiar, so familiar, why couldn’t I remember who it was?
I really can’t remember, but I don’t dare to think about it anymore. I coughed up a mouthful of blood, and I barely managed to get back into the rhythm of the Tading Bugang again.
It was a close call. A cold sweat trickled down my forehead. If I had not used the powerful power of heaven and earth, but my own spiritual power, I would have been countered.
Once again, I entered this realm, and once again, I was in a state of calmness, but a few words of dialogue were completely transmitted to my ears.
“Hua Yi, gee… after so many years, why are you still unwilling to give up? In fact, I know that you won’t give up. For so many years, you have been outside the New City. Don’t you think I don’t know?” The one who spoke was the lord of the New City. He still had that same smiling and amiable appearance, and his tone was gentle and not the slightest bit hostile.
“Without Hua Yi, I don’t know who Hua Yi is.” In contrast, the ferryman’s tone was blunt, directly denying all the words of the new city lord.
“Hey, you really are something. You say you don’t have a secular name, but you won’t let people call you by your Dharma name. Is this a sign that you’ve forgotten all our friendship? But I haven’t forgotten, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to stay outside the city safely, and your brother wouldn’t be able to be liberated in that city.” The tone of the New City Lord was very regretful, as if it was very aggrieved that the ferryman in front of it had forgotten their friendship.
“Don’t cling to relationships. Our relationship was completely severed many years ago! You tolerated me and Master Hongren only because you were busy with your own dreams. Now that the dream has been shattered and the great formation has been completed, why don’t you wake up?” The ferryman’s voice was still cold and direct.
“Heh heh heh…” the lord of the new city laughed, then he suddenly put away his kind smile and said to the ferryman, “Who said it was me who needed to wake up? Is the great formation complete? As for dreams, for me, as long as I sleep, they will come at any time. The reversal of everything is just…” His hand suddenly pointed fiercely in our direction, then he said in a deep voice, “Kill them!”
“You don’t have a chance, Ning Zhi Feng.” The ferryman’s eyes looked leisurely at the four huge pillars of light. In one of the pillars of light, a somewhat weak dragon suddenly shot up into the sky and entered the pillar where Cheng Yuan’s Fighting Dragon was located.
It was the spirit of the dragon that was about to become a dragon, which the lord of the new city had used as a throne. It became entangled with the dragon spirit of Chengyuan, and the light pillar, which was originally a little “weak” compared to the other pillars, instantly lit up and emitted the same light as the other three pillars.
The face of the lord of Xincheng changed, but then he resumed his smile: “It doesn’t matter. The great formation still needs a lot of soul power to drive it. Those soul powers haven’t had time to drive the great formation yet. I have time! As for that little bug, I’ll just catch it later. I’ll teach it a lesson.”
He finished speaking with a smile, but then his expression suddenly changed, and he punched the ferryman. I saw the purple light on his body grow brighter, and then I took the crucial third step—Tianji!
My vision once again fell into the darkness of chaos, but the urgency in my heart had already penetrated my entire soul. I decided to force my way through and resist!
