798: Chapter 233_5 798: Chapter 233_5 Li Ke watched as the wind blades fell, and from behind her, atop the giant Golden Core formed by ten different phenomena, suddenly burst forth an incomparably dazzling radiance.
The scorching aura instantly filled the entire space.
Suddenly, the image of a Vermilion Bird materialized behind her, radiating an aura full of ferocity, savagery, and wildness that surged toward the distance.
Vermilion Bird’s Flame!
Indeed, she was not adept at defense, but she excelled at offense; if a path needed carving, then let her flames blaze the trail!
A cry of the sacred Vermilion Bird echoed, and a being composed of flames resembling the sacred bird emerged, shooting toward the space before her.
In an instant, the air around was spontaneously ignited.
The Vermilion Bird’s Flame was far stronger than the flames she had released, devouring the falling wind blades as they descended.
Linghu Gudu, feeling the scorching air around him and witnessing the devouring flames, finally showed a glimmer of enlightenment in his eyes.
He had noticed during the previous battle, when Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and Lan Mei were exchanging blows, that Li Ke seemed much weaker than Ling Xi and Yan Yourong, which he found very strange.
Now, seeing this flame, he finally understood why Li Ke could walk alongside the trio and why she could become Cao Zhen’s partner.
This flame was definitely not a normal flame.
Unfortunately, although the flame was strong, there were simply too many wind blades.
In the next moment, more and more wind blades fell.
However, that was enough; the recent fiery onslaught had blocked a large number of wind blades, and Cao Zhen also swung out with his sword.
Suddenly, his entire demeanor changed in that moment.
As Cao Zhen swung his sword, hundreds of his images suddenly appeared in the void, each one striking with a sword at the same time.
A hundred swords flew out, each one carrying an unparalleled sword intent, suffused with a dense ethereal quality.
These hundred swords, each unique, were as if a hundred peerless swordsmen were simultaneously executing their strongest strike, and these hundred phantoms appeared incredibly elusive, faintly giving one the impression that not a hundred people were wielding swordsmanship, but that no one was.
With that sword’s descent, the entire world began to tremble wildly.
This time, these hundred visions didn’t merge into a single sword; it was a hundred swords!
Wherever the sword light passed, everything, everything, shattered to pieces.
Wind blades burst apart in its wake!
Then, taking advantage of the vacuum created by this sword, they quickly moved forward, and Yan Yourong swung her sword!
Five people, led by Cao Zhen, Li Ke, and Yan Yourong, were responsible for blazing the path ahead, while Ling Xi and Linghu Gudu covered the rear, blocking the wind blades from behind, and in this manner, they steadily advanced.
The hurricane had come too suddenly and was too fierce, but all of them were top existences at the Golden Core Stage, even Linghu Gudu; Cao Zhen felt that Linghu Gudu’s strength was in no way inferior to when he left.
Working together, they gradually neared the edge of the hurricane, and just as they were about to break through the periphery, suddenly, at the center of the hurricane’s vortex, the vast whirlpool exploded with a thunderous bang.
And with it, a sound as if the entire world were shattering echoed, and in a flash, countless wind blades scattered in all directions.
Innumerable wind blades, each as powerful as a Golden Core’s attack and even the impact of a Golden Core master, the whistling blades fell, some shooting into the void, piercing the clouds in the sky, some striking the earth, cutting into the desert surface, grinding numerous sand grains into powder, and the tremendous impact stirred up the powder as if a sandstorm had hit.
Some of the wind blades were aimed directly at the five people.
On Cao Zhen’s body, multiple protective divine powers reemerged, but the incoming wind blades were simply too numerous, too overwhelming, even for him.
As they swept across him, his protective divine powers were completely shattered, and the wind blades directly struck his body.
Although he was not yet at the Perfect Completion Golden Core Stage, thanks to the Sky Demon Record and the refinement when breaking through the Golden Core Stage, his physical strength was far stronger than those at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Even so, in an instant, his flesh and blood were strewn about.
Beside him, Linghu Gudu’s two shields in front were ringing crisply under the assault of the wind blades.
The one radiating frost and cold breath especially showed clear cracks, as if it were ice being relentlessly struck by sharp tools, ultimately unable to withstand the blows, shattering at last.
Following that, wind blades slammed down upon him, pounding him heavily into the ground.
Elsewhere, Ling Xi’s large tortoise shell had also shattered, turning into talismans that fell to the ground with her.
Yan Yourong’s Five Elements Glow had faded away, and she too crashed onto the ground.
The sudden outbreak of wind blades was overwhelming; despite their collective efforts, they could not fend off the onslaught.
Within this maelstrom of wind blades, Li Ke relied solely on the Gold Light Spell and her gathered flames for protection, with few other life-saving means at her disposal.
In just the span of a single breath, the Gold Light Spell on her body had been torn apart by the wind blades, which crashed down upon her, slicing her skin open and penetrating her body with their piercing chill rampaging violently within!
This is bad!
Upon seeing Li Ke bombarded by countless wind blades, Cao Zhen’s face changed drastically.
He wanted to rescue her, but the terrifying impact of the exploding tornado struck him, sending his body flying into the distance.
