Destiny is ashes

Chapter 672 Five Elements Explosive Fist (4200, thanks to the leader of the smallest two oranges x for the reward!)

Before dawn, a platinum light almost as bright as the sun suddenly lit up in the dim forest. This light turned into a golden line speeding across the earth. It moved from slow to fast, straight through the darkness, and crossed several miles in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had fallen silent, as if all sounds were absorbed by the platinum light. A breath later, a series of thunderous roars suddenly burst out from the darkness and light. The shock waves visible to the naked eye spread out to both sides of the golden line like a wave, along with dust all over the sky.

The speed of the golden thread was so fast that when the guards of Hongta City who had long since defected or been replaced discovered it, their faces suddenly changed. But before they could do anything else, they could see that the golden thread had already hit the city defense formation of Hongta City.

There was a violent explosion, and all the soil within a radius of thirty feet was blown away and burned into crystals, while the woods in the distance were ignited by the hot wind, bringing up a distorted heat wave.

There was a violent turbulence, even the city walls were shaking. Several of the soldiers guarding the rooftops fell off the wall, and the rest lay on the battlements, looking in astonishment at the red exquisite pagoda phantom that had emerged and was rotating around the entire Red Tower City, but had begun to sway slightly: "What the hell, the city defense formation was broken out by a single blow?!"

Not actually a hit.

But he was running too fast and couldn't brake.

Taibai Haoling's Divine Restraint had just been advanced, and the improvement in An Jing's strength was by no means an ordinary increase of one level - although his physical body was already very strong before, and it met the physical training intensity of the middle and high levels of the general martial vein foundation building, it was actually unable to fully withstand the high concentration of Taishi Yuansha.

This highest level, the original evil spirit condensed by the [Seven Stars and Seven Evils of the Right Heaven and Righteous Law] can differentiate into seven major Yin-Yang and Five Elements evil spirits. This means that its corrosive ability is more than seven times that of ordinary evil spirits. With multiple overlaps, the peak can reach about forty times.

Even if An Jing had attained enlightenment many times, he could not withstand this level of erosion. It was not until he had established the foundation of the Taibai Haoling Divine Forbidden Technique and supported the internal formation with his absolute physical body that he could withstand the full force of the Taishi Yuansha.

And this is the result of Tai Shi Yuan Sha's full efforts.

An Jing slowly stood up from the crystallized land. He rubbed his head and looked at the red exquisite tower phantom in front of him - this was the city defense formation of Hongta City, which had now been fully activated, isolating the inside and outside of the city.

Captain Lin really didn't lie. His true authority had long been written in the Mingjing Sect. The fact that it rejected him was enough to prove that the city had been occupied by traitors.
However, the sound of fighting can still be vaguely heard from the city center. The city lord must have noticed that something is wrong and is now fighting hard to correct his mistake.

However, he couldn't do it alone.

Facing the city defense formation in front of him, An Jing raised his hand.

The five fingers are clenched into a fist, with red, yellow, green, white and black, five colors. The five elements of evil spirits converge and condense. The five elements of evil spirits gather into one, and then suddenly explode, pushing out an unstoppable divine power.

"Stop him!"

As early as when An Jing stood up from the ground, the soldiers guarding the city shouted sharply and activated the Hongta City's defensive armaments. Suddenly, magical weapons, crossbows and various spells bombarded towards An Jing's position like rain, with such density that not even a mosquito could get through.

But to everyone's surprise, An Jing did not try to resist at all. The moment he clenched his fist, the extremely dense five elements evil energy had already supported a layer of Gangqi. This was not something he deliberately activated, but a defense that was formed naturally.

Numerous arrows, crossbows and spells bombarded this layer of energy, and ninety-nine percent of them were directly crushed to pieces. The remaining few more powerful spells could not break through An Jing's physical defense at all.

Just like the giant crossbow on the top of the city wall that is specially used to deal with large monsters and ghosts, it is as big as a small building, but the crossbow arrows it fires are relatively small, only as thick as a human arm - but such crossbow arrows are enough to penetrate the defenses of martial vein-level evil spirits and monsters and go straight into their vital organs.

It was this arrow that was specially used to penetrate the armor and body of demons that broke through the layer of Qi and went straight towards An Jing's pupils and eyebrows.

But An Jing didn't even blink.

He just let out a breath.

A breath of evil qi that is as sharp as a sword and as loud as a strike!
Before the arrow hit the target, it had already been corroded and burned by the evil spirit, leaving a large hole, which then completely turned the arrow into ashes.

At this moment, An Jing had also finished accumulating strength, and the five colors of red, yellow, green, white and black on his fist merged into one.

——Five Elements Exploding Fist!

A moment of silence.

Then there was a violent howling like a storm.

A ray of white light with five colors merged into one lit up, and immediately caused the entire city defense formation to shake violently - but this was just the beginning, because next came the second punch, the third punch, and the fourth punch!
One after another, the flashes of blasting light appeared continuously, followed by continuous explosions like thunder. The violent sound waves even seemed to blow down the city walls. The soldiers defending the city who originally wanted to continue controlling their weapons to attack An Jing couldn't even stand steadily.

But when they were able to stand firm again, they found to their disbelief that a hole had been made in the entire city defense formation, including the city wall.

An Jing's explosive fist shattered this part of the formation, and the penetrating force of the fist also collapsed a corner of the city wall.

Then, he flew up and came to the top of the city wall, and saw the airship that was slowly escaping into the underworld under the Taixu magic circle and was about to start moving.

Under the airship, a fierce battle is unfolding. A martial vein of the Mingjing Sect is being besieged by three martial veins of mysterious origins. Although he has not been defeated and has the advantage of being at home, he is unable to stop the movement of the airship.

"Looks like I came at the right time."

Ignoring those soldiers who retreated in fear, An Jing took out the super heavy sniper sword case "Yu Ri" that he had obtained from Gan Yuanhai's trio from the Taixu magic weapon.

After his modification, the power of this sniper sword box is needless to say. The most important thing is that with the addition of the Nalong bottle component, it can additionally pressurize the evil spirit beyond the normal limit of the martial vein.

The launching port of the sword box was aligned and connected in a straight line with the airship. Then, a blazing light flashed, and the whole Hongta City became as bright as day. Then, a golden line flew straight and hit the tail of the airship.

Indeed, when the Taixu magic array is activated, the powerful force will distort time and space and hinder most attacks - but with Fuxie's support, any flaws in the Taixu escape method are transparent to An Jing.

In just a moment, the void barrier that separated the airship from the existing space and time was penetrated, and the airship made a humming sound, a big hole appeared at the tail, and began to fall from the air while spinning.

In the city, the city lord who was fighting fiercely was stunned for a moment, and the other three mysterious martial veins were also stunned. The four of them just stared at the airship falling from the sky and knocking down a series of houses, and they hadn't reacted to what was going on.

——What happened? Why did it suddenly fall down? ! This whole process was too smooth. From An Jing's charge to blasting open the city defense formation, and then jumping onto the city wall to snipe the airship, it took less than two minutes from beginning to end.

It can even be said that most of these two minutes were spent on the charge. From the time the soldiers defending the city reacted and launched an attack on An Jing, the whole process did not even exceed thirty seconds.

In such a short period of time, before the news from the front line was transmitted back, and before he could even confirm whether it was true or false, An Jing had already completed his mission.

"Wha, what?!"

One of the three martial vein masters who were fighting with the city lord Bai Luo, the youngest-looking master, was the first to collapse when he saw this scene. He looked at the airship spinning and falling from the sky in disbelief. It seemed that what was falling was not an airship, but his dream: "Why did it fall down? Why did it fall down?!"

He was not the master of Shangxuan Sect, but a local martial lineage of Beixuan Jizhou. The people of Shangxuan Sect promised that as long as he could complete this task and send the airship safely to Mingjing Sect, he could return to Zhongzhou with their own people, enjoy the treatment of a meritorious official, and even support the three of them to achieve the Divine Treasure.

The mission was almost accomplished, but it failed at the last moment - it was as if he had fallen from paradise into hell in an instant, even though he had just begun to imagine a bright future.

He turned his head and looked at An Jing who was approaching. His bloodshot eyes had completely lost his rationality. He roared and pounced towards the other party.

"Damn it, damn it!!"

The same was true for the other two masters. Seeing the duck that was in their mouths flew away, they all lost their balance and gave up their previous opponents and turned to attack An Jing.

This is the last impulse in their lives.

Because in the next breath, An Jing killed them all.

The three martial arts masters attacked at the same time, one with a knife, one with fists and feet, and the other with a strange weapon, double hooks. If it were normal times, An Jing would definitely fight with each other and enjoy the joy of fighting, but this time, because he had enjoyed enough fighting pleasure from He Wen Ding and Ye Yuelong, he no longer held back.

They attacked An Jing with a combined force, the knife chopped at his shoulder blade, fists and feet hit An Jing's heart, and the double hooks were intended to hook An Jing's scapula. Every move was intended to hit a vital point, intended to kill him - but they were used on the wrong target.

The knife was shattered. The fists and feet were shattered by the recoil. The double hooks were even smoothed out, and the whole thing turned into a steel bar.

The Taibai Haoling Divine Restriction for building the foundation, apart from other things, is much harder than before.

"Why is the attack of the Shangxuan Sect's dog so weak?"

Lowering his eyes, An Jing's eyelashes were enough to block the blade of the sword-wielding Wu Mai that was slashing towards his pupils. "Didn't they give you any magical tools or treasures to self-destruct to complete the mission?"

"Didn't they tell you that your enemy is me?"

Asking in this way, with sincere doubts as if it were natural, the young warrior clenched the killing sword in his hand, and then slashed out with all his strength!

The scarlet blood sword light was like a line, and then exploded like a rushing blood waterfall. Wherever the sword passed, none of the three martial arts masters could block it. Their weapons were shattered and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

It's like a tiger among a flock of sheep. These three martial veins are already experts. Together they can entangle the Hongta City Lord, who is a true disciple. But An Jing is at the top level and can easily kill even a true disciple. If they fight head-on without any backup, there is no way they will escape.

In just a moment, all three martial veins were shattered by the killing explosive sword energy. Even because the speed of the killing explosive sword was so fast, when An Jing's sword light had been retracted into the sheath and the three martial veins had all exploded into blood mist, the horrifying shock wave began to spread. It looked like the earth, streets and buildings collapsed and exploded in front of An Jing.

He took a step forward, and all the ruins and traces of the battle disappeared, turning into the most equal ruins and peaceful land. The blood rain transformed by the three martial veins only fell sparsely at this moment, and then became more and more turbulent.

In this pervasive bloody storm, An Jing crossed the bloody curtain and looked at his dumbfounded comrade, Bai Luo, the lord of Hongta City.

"Are you Bai Luo?"

He spoke, and Bai Luo was stunned for several seconds before he nodded with a complicated expression, a hint of joy, fear and relief: "Yes, it's me... An Jing, Brother An, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have made a big mistake!"

Having said that, Bai Luo originally wanted to look fiercely at the bodies of the three hidden masters - unfortunately, none of them were left, so he could only shake his head: "The airship has been trapped in the city for a long time. I planned to speed up the repairs and send the supplies back to the sect while all the inner ghosts set out to attack you. I didn't expect this was also a trap. One party..."

Bai Luo frowned as he said this, but he still didn't say the word 'Shangxuan Sect': "A mysterious force suddenly attacked and attacked the airship repair factory. I mistakenly thought that their goal was to destroy the airship, so I accelerated the use of authority to move the airship."

"I never thought that this was their purpose. After I activated my authority, they actually started to protect the airship. When I saw this, I knew I had made a big mistake. I wanted to shoot down the airship myself, but I was entangled by them."

"this is not your fault."

An Jing shook his head: "The enemy is the elite of Shangxuan Sect and various forces. The fact that you have been able to fight against them for such a long time and defend the airship itself is already a 100% outstanding person - just look at the city guards and you can tell that the enemy has taken control of everything in the outer city. It is not easy for you to ensure the stability of the inner city."

Bai Luo's mouth twitched. He didn't want to affect An Jing's mood, but he couldn't help but remind him: "Brother An, that's the Shangxuan Sect. If there is no evidence, it's best not to be so sure."

"don’t worry."

An Jing could understand Bai Luo's caution very well - for all the forces and everyone in the Huaixu Realm, the reputation of Shangxuan Sect as the strongest sect in this world really makes everyone cautious. Not to mention that Mingjing Sect is just a middle sect, even if it is a top sect, they will never accuse Shangxuan Sect without any evidence and make a big deal out of it.

But An Jing is different. He is eager to make a big deal out of it.

What Shangxuan Sect, what God's Will, what Dachen Taiming, all of you like to team up against me, right? I won, look at me opening your identities one by one, let's see who loses and who is embarrassed!
"There's no need to shirk responsibility."

With a sneer, An Jing said loudly: "It is the Shangxuan Sect that wants to be our enemy, not the other way around. Although it is the best in the world, it is not without enemies."

"I want to see if they dare to admit that they have intervened across continents and interfered in the internal affairs of other sects. This is simply treating Beixuan Jizhou as their backyard."

"Don't worry, Brother Bai. Compared to us, Dachen is definitely more anxious after hearing the news!"
