Chapter 1005 The Cunning and Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan!
"Bang!"
At the top of the stone pillar, a huge, spiked bronze meteor hammer, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, crashed down on Gao Yao! Its range was so vast that it almost covered all the space he could dodge.
Gao Yao's pupils constricted sharply; there was no way to avoid it! He roared and no longer held back, pouring all his strength into the Crimson Sky Sword. The sword shone brightly with crimson light, as if it were truly burning! Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging headlong into the massive meteor hammer!
"Break!"
The Crimson Sky Sword and the Bronze Meteor Hammer clashed violently!
"boom!!!"
A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by countless sparks flying! The heavy meteor hammer was actually cleaved in two by Gao Yao's sword, which contained terrifying power! The shattered bronze pieces scattered like cannonballs!
Gao Yao was also shaken by the enormous force of the impact, his blood surging and his tiger's mouth splitting open, blood flowing down the hilt of his sword. But he only swayed for a moment before regaining his footing! He had broken through his own limits!
This scene finally changed the expression of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, who had been calmly operating the mechanism! He clearly felt the tyrannical and powerful force within Gao Yao's body, far exceeding his expectations! This was not merely a matter of high martial arts skills; it was a level close to inhuman!
"Impossible! How could you..." he murmured, disbelief appearing in his eyes for the first time. He had initially thought Gao Yao's strength had merely increased, but he hadn't expected such a fundamental transformation!
Gao Yao wouldn't give him time to think. The instant he cleaved the meteor hammer, he exerted force with his feet, shattering the stone slabs on the ground, and like a cannonball, he closed the distance to the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan once again! The Crimson Sky Sword thrust straight forward, its target still his opponent's throat! This time, the distance was even closer, and the momentum even stronger!
The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan hastily drew a simple-looking short sword to parry.
"Qiang!"
The two swords clashed, sparks flying!
Gao Yao's absolute advantage in strength was instantly apparent! The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan felt an overwhelming force surge from the short sword, his entire arm went numb instantly, and the short sword almost slipped from his grasp! He groaned, staggered backward, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth. He was already severely weakened due to the historical shift, and now, having taken Gao Yao's full-force attack head-on, he had suffered internal injuries.
Gao Yao pressed his advantage relentlessly, unleashing a torrent of swordplay. His Crimson Sky Sword transformed into streaks of crimson lightning, completely engulfing the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. Yi Xiaochuan could only rely on his familiarity with the terrain and his exquisite agility to barely maneuver, constantly triggering traps around him to disrupt Gao Yao, but the effect was far less than before. Gao Yao seemed to be gradually adapting to this environment rife with traps, or rather, his absolute strength and speed began to forcefully crush the threat of the traps.
"Bang!" Gao Yao threw a punch, not at Yi Xiaochuan, but at the bronze beast head that was about to spew out poisonous smoke. The punch dented the bronze beast head and disabled its mechanism.
"Crack!" He stomped his foot, and the powerful force traveled through the ground, triggering a deeper mechanism that caused a nearby trap to activate prematurely, revealing an empty pit. This caused an enemy who was trying to ambush him to fall in.
Gao Yao is using his own methods to "utilize" these institutions in return!
With the tides turning, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's situation became increasingly precarious. His clothes were torn in several places by the sword energy, making him look somewhat disheveled, and his breathing became rapid. The calmness in his eyes was finally replaced by a trace of anxiety and ruthlessness.
He knew he couldn't let things continue like this! In a direct confrontation, he was no match for Gao Yao at this moment!
He fought and retreated, his eyes quickly scanning his surroundings as if searching for something. Finally, his gaze locked onto the celestial core emitting a ghostly blue light in the distance, and beside it, a narrow passage that seemed to lead to a deeper depth, or perhaps an exit.
A crazy idea rose in his mind.
He swung his short sword sharply, forcing Gao Yao back half a step, and then with all his might, he let out a sharp and distinctive whistle towards his personal guards who were still using the traps to resist!
Upon hearing this, the men paused in unison, their faces hardening with a death-defying resolve. They abandoned guerrilla tactics and charged frantically at Gao Yao's personal guards, even risking injury or death to try and hold them off!
At the same time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan turned around and rushed towards the narrow passage at top speed!
"Trying to run?!" Gao Yao wasn't about to let him get away. He swung his sword, killing two enemies who were desperately trying to stop him, and pursued them relentlessly, his figure like a shadow!
The two rushed into the narrow passageway, one after the other. The passageway was even darker, with only a few luminous pearls scattered on the walls providing a faint light. The floor was slippery and covered in moss.
The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was extremely familiar with this place, nimbly weaving through the obstacles and traps, occasionally triggering small snares and pits in an attempt to hinder Gao Yao. Gao Yao, however, relied on his superior physical abilities to either force his way through or violently disrupt the defenses, keeping a tight grip on him.
Just as we were about to reach the end of the passageway, a faint ray of sunlight seemed to be shining through!
A ruthless glint flashed in Yi Xiaochuan's eyes. He suddenly stopped, turned to face Gao Yao, and revealed a strange smile.
"Gao Yao! Don't you want Tianxing? Then stay here and stay with it forever!"
He suddenly raised his foot and stomped hard on a slightly darker-colored stone slab at the end of the passageway with all his might!
“BOOM—!!!!”
A more violent explosion than any before came from the direction of the tunnel entrance! No, not just the entrance! The entire tunnel structure was collapsing! A massive shockwave, carrying debris and air currents, surged in from the back and sides!
Gao Yao instantly realized! This bastard! He didn't intend to escape through this passage at all! He was luring him in, and then... blowing up this passage that might be the only known exit! He wanted to trap him to death in this underground palace!
"You're courting death!" Gao Yao's eyes were bloodshot with rage. In his fury, the Crimson Sky Sword erupted with unprecedented light, and he and the sword became one, recklessly stabbing towards the heart of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan! Even if it meant mutual destruction, he absolutely could not let this insidious fellow succeed!
The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan seemed to have not expected Gao Yao to dare to fight back so decisively at this time. He originally wanted to use the chaos of the explosion to escape again, but Gao Yao's desperate attack sealed off all his space to dodge!
"Pfft——!"
The Crimson Sky Sword pierced precisely into the chest of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan! Although he desperately twisted his body at the last moment to avoid his heart, the sword still pierced through his lung!
"Ugh!" The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan let out a painful groan, and blood instantly stained his front.
