My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Chapter 113 - 87: The Great Battle, Part 3

"You’re insane!"

The Grey Robe Guardian, unable to break free for a moment, spat out in fury. With a single strike of his halberd, Lin Yue drove back the Guardian before him, his voice as hoarse as grinding metal. "I went insane eight years ago, when you performed a blood sacrifice of three hundred and sixty-seven souls and then used the lives of my entire Lin Family to threaten me."

At that, another Guardian sneered, "Old Ghost Lin, you were afraid of death yourself, so who can you blame? You still obediently cooperated back then. Now you want to play the hero?"

The moment his voice fell, Lin Yue surged forward. "I just don’t want to keep making the same mistake."

’If I take one step back, I’ll have to keep retreating forever.’ He had long since regretted his original decision.

He crossed his Double Halberd, and his grey-black True Qi condensed into a distorted Spear Shadow that shot straight for his opponent’s throat. Wherever the halberd’s tip passed, the air let out a piercing shriek.

"Black Mountain Force—Po Yue!"

The Spear Shadow and the glint of a saber exploded into shockwaves within the narrow stone cavern!

Lin Yue completely cast aside all restraint, his Double Halberd stirring up a torrential tide of grey-black True Qi. It wasn’t just the Black Mountain Force; as the halberd’s blades flowed, they faintly revealed blood-red patterns. Every strike carried a venomous after-effect that eroded True Qi.

One Grey Robe Guardian was half a beat too slow. The halberd’s tip grazed his ribs, and where his robe tore, his flesh instantly blackened and festered.

"You actually secretly learned the Holy Sect’s Blood Erosion Force?!"

The Grey Robe Guardian was both shocked and enraged. Lin Yue didn’t answer, his halberd attacks growing even more ferocious. He had waited too long for this moment. For eight years, he had endured the torment of the Blood Erosion Force’s backlash every night, secretly Refining it, all for this very day.

The pressure on Liang Cheng’s side eased, and he immediately seized the opportunity.

His Saber Momentum suddenly changed. He no longer sought a quick kill; instead, his attacks came like stacking tides, each strike stronger than the last. The Broken Wave Technique, combined with the tyrannical foundation of Fierce Bull Force, made the opposing Guardian’s Qi Blood churn with every slash.

The three Guardians’ coordinated assault was thus broken.

"Fall back!"

A Guardian shouted sharply. The three of them retreated simultaneously, backing away quickly toward the stone platform while forming hand seals. Lin Yue’s expression changed. "Damn it! They’re going to detonate the altar!"

Before his voice had faded, the three Guardians had already retreated to the three corners of the stone platform. They all bit the tips of their tongues, spitting three mouthfuls of Essence Blood onto the hundreds of floating ore fragments at the center.

The instant the Essence Blood touched the stones—

BUZZ!!!

The stone cavern trembled!

The blood-red veins on the surface of all the ore fragments flared brightly in unison. Hundreds of blood-red lights shot out from the ore like tentacles, weaving together in mid-air to form a gigantic net of blood.

"With my Essence Blood, I offer this sacrifice!"

The other two echoed him in unison. Three streams of Essence Blood flowed into the net, causing its light to surge violently as a terrifying Blood Force erupted from within!

Liang Cheng felt his Qi Blood stir within him. He hastily circulated the Broken Wave Technique. Under the power of the Golden Armor Realm, his body began to glow with a faint golden luster.

But Lin Yue let out a muffled groan. He was already wounded from his life-or-death struggle, and now, affected by the disturbance in Qi Blood, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"We can’t let them complete the ritual!"

Lin Yue’s eyes were bloodshot. Disregarding his own safety, his Double Halberd struck out like a dragon, aimed straight at the Guardian in the center. He held nothing back in this strike; the air distorted where the tips of his halberd passed.

"You’re courting death!"

The Guardians on the left and right moved to intercept him at the same time.

’Now!’

A sharp glint flashed in Liang Cheng’s eyes. He pushed the Wandering Dragon Step to its absolute limit, his figure passing through the gap between the two Guardians like a phantom. The Zhenxian Saber drew an arc of light like a cold moon, accompanied by the roar of Wind and Thunder, as it slashed directly at the neck of the Guardian on the right!

The slash was too fast, too vicious. The Guardian’s entire focus was on intercepting Lin Yue. By the time he noticed the attack, the saber’s edge was already three inches from his throat!

He retreated in horror, but Liang Cheng’s Saber Momentum was like a cancer clinging to his bones. The blade tilted and sliced across his throat.

SSSSK—!

A spray of blood erupted. The Guardian’s body collapsed, his life extinguished.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Yue’s Double Halberd reached the chest of the central Guardian. The Guardian gritted his teeth and blocked with his twin claws. The clash of halberd and claws produced a piercing shriek!

But the force behind Lin Yue’s strike was far greater than expected—he had actually burned a portion of his Essence Blood at the last moment!

SQUELCH!

The halberd’s tip pierced through his chest.

The central Guardian looked down at the halberd tip protruding from his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You..."

Lin Yue yanked his halberd free, and his opponent collapsed. But Lin Yue crumpled to the ground as well. Though his enemy was dead, the exchange had left him unable to continue the fight.

Seeing this, the remaining Guardian’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets. "Second Brother! Third Brother!"

He was the last one standing. With two of his comrades dead and Lin Yue incapacitated, a crazed look flashed in the Guardian’s eyes. He suddenly retreated to the edge of the stone platform and slammed his palm onto the altar!

"If I’m going to die, then we’ll all die together! DETONATE!!!"

The blood-red veins on the altar’s surface suddenly contracted. The next moment—

BOOOOOM—!!!

A deafening explosion!

The entire stone cavern shook violently. The rock walls cracked and shattered, raining down debris. The instant the altar exploded, a tide of viscous, almost tangible, dark-red Blood Force swept out!

Wherever the Blood Force passed, the cavern walls sizzled as pits were corroded into them. Even more terrifying was the strange, erosive power within the Blood Force—it could even contaminate True Qi!

Lin Yue’s face was deathly pale. "We can’t let this Blood Force spread! It will contaminate the entire ore vein. The Dongshan Mine will be finished, and the miners will be eroded by it!"

He forced himself to muster his True Qi. Stabbing his Double Halberd into the ground, he formed a barrier of grey-black True Qi in front of him. He was actually planning to use his own body as a wall to block the Blood Force!

But the Blood Force was too violent. In less than a moment, the True Qi barrier he had erected began to crack. The Blood Force spread so fast that it reached Liang Cheng’s feet in the blink of an eye. He instinctively activated his Golden Armor Realm to resist it head-on—

TSSSS!

The instant the Blood Force touched the faint golden luster on his skin, it made a sound like a hot iron being plunged into water. A sharp pain shot through him!

The Blood Force was madly eroding his Protective True Qi and wearing down the defense of his Golden Armor Realm. But in the midst of this erosion, Liang Cheng keenly sensed that after being repeatedly washed over by the Blood Force, his Golden Armor Realm had actually become a sliver more solid!

’Could it be...?’

A crazy idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Patriarch Lin!" Liang Cheng shouted urgently. "Fall back! Go seal the secret passage exit!"
