Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 324 Vigorous
At the entrance of the villa, important figures such as Bai Yan and Zhang Yunyi all had extremely grim expressions.

Zhou Ming, who had been so assertive just moments before, now looked ashen-faced as he stared at the black dragon circling the mountaintop, his eyes filled with undisguised horror.

Zhou Ming wasn't cowardly; he simply knew the power of a level seven cultivator. Even if ten level six cultivators were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to kill a level seven cultivator, let alone a level six cultivator like himself.

Their mission to wipe out the demonic cult ended in an encounter with a seventh-level bishop, meaning their group was doomed.

No, if they run now, they still have a chance...

Zhou Ming looked at Bai Yan, Zhang Yunyi, and Yang Liye, and hurriedly said, "Let's retreat now, there's still a chance to survive."

Yang Liye nodded without hesitation: "Yes, let's go now."

Bai Yan, with his hair slicked back and wearing a leather jacket, shook his head: "You guys go, I'm not leaving."

Bai Yan further explained, "We need to leave someone behind to keep an eye on things; we can't all leave."

After Bai Yan said that, the expressions of the leaders became somewhat complicated.

As for Gao Wu, who was in charge, his fate was unknown. They turned around and ran away, which not only ruined their reputation but also made them bear the responsibility of desertion.

The problem is that there's a seventh-level bishop inside; anyone who comes here will only have one option: turn around and run for their life.

Bai Yan wanted to stay mainly because of his close relationship with Gao Wu, and secondly because Gao Wu had clearly made some preparations before not taking them in.

He watched Gao Wu grow up step by step, and his deepest impression of the boy was that Gao Wu was good at creating miracles and could always accomplish things that seemed impossible.

For example, killing a level six high priest, killing a dragon-slaying knight, etc.

However, one miracle is luck, two miracles are luck, and no one can have incredible luck every time.

To get to this point, one must be extremely powerful, with each seemingly risky action actually being carried out with a high degree of certainty.

Bai Yan felt that Gao Wu was prepared this time. He couldn't think of any way to deal with a seventh-level bishop, but he believed in Gao Wu's wisdom and ability.

Of course, the real reason he stayed to watch was because he liked adventure and excitement.

Bai Yan, however, would not offend Zhou Ming and the others. He said, "There is no point in you staying. Take your men and leave first. I alone will be enough to observe the situation."

Zhou Ming and the others' expressions softened slightly. Indeed, it wouldn't be appropriate for them all to leave. Since Bai Yan had volunteered to stay and observe the situation, it was for the best.

The group acted decisively and quickly, leading their people to evacuate. Their lives were at stake; this was no time to worry about saving face.

Bai Yan quickly and swiftly entered the depths of a grove of cedar trees. He chose the tallest cedar tree and jumped up. From this position, he could see Gao Wu, Song Mingyue, and the middle-aged man in black robes on the mountaintop.

Han Dalin actually sensed Bai Yan's source energy aura, but he had no interest in caring about a mere martial artist, whether he was level five or level six, it didn't matter.

He focused most of his energy on the girl opposite him, and he did not gain any advantage in the mental and source energy confrontation between the two sides.

In fact, Song Mingyue's source power was far stronger than Han Dalin had expected. Up until now, Song Mingyue hadn't even activated her Martial God Form, yet she had already steadily blocked Han Dalin's source power pressure.

Han Dalin was even more astonished. He really couldn't understand how Song Mingyue cultivated, possessing such powerful source energy at such a young age!

However, Song Mingyue was ultimately too young and lacked decades of experience. Even though her source power and spiritual strength were very strong, she could not compare with him.

Not to mention his trump card, which, if unleashed, would be equivalent to having an additional level seven expert.

Those two brats are too arrogant. Let them see the true power of a seventh-level bishop!
Han Dalin was filled with rage, but his face remained calm. He said to the chief priest Cai Shilin behind him, "This is none of your business. Get out of the way."

After all, the opponent was a true level seven expert, and once the fight started, he wouldn't have the energy to deal with Cai Shilin.

This was his trusted confidant, very capable in his work. He had also been painstakingly promoted to level six; he was an important talent anywhere. He couldn't afford to lose him so easily.

The lean Cai Shilin hurriedly responded and staggered backward in a panic.

The confrontation between the level seven experts exerted a strong suppression on Cai Shilin's mental strength and source power, making it difficult for him to control his body, so he even staggered when walking.

"Did I say you could leave?" Gao Wu shouted and drew his sword, charging towards Cai Shilin.

Gao Wu was now armed with the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon Armor, holding the Heavenly Destiny Sword, his body shimmering with light like flames, instantly tearing through the thick air as he slashed straight at Cai Shilin.

So they didn't rush to take action, wanting to assess the true strength of the seventh-level bishop.

After observing Han Dalin for a while, Gao Wu had determined the opponent's source power state and spiritual level. In his opinion, it was nothing special!
Seeing that Cai Shilin was trying to run away, we couldn't let that happen!
Gao Wu and Song Mingyue have an incredibly close spiritual connection. They don't show much difference in normal times, but they demonstrate an unparalleled tacit understanding during battles.

Just as Gao Wu made his move, Song Mingyue also made hers.

She activated her Ice Dragon Armor, which covered her entire body, while over it remained a windbreaker formed from the Seven Laws Divine Robe. She also now wielded the Azure Sea Sword.

This sword is made of a special material and cannot be deformed. Gao Wu usually carries it for her. Only after entering the manor did Song Mingyue tuck the Cangming sword into her waistband.

"presumptuous!"

When Han Dalin saw that Gao Wu dared to take the initiative and make the first move, he let out a fierce shout on a spiritual level.

The two sides were simply too close. Gao Wu's impact speed was close to the speed of sound, and he had already rushed over in the blink of an eye.

Han Dalin knew very well that although Gao Wu seemed to be attacking Cai Shilin, his sharp sword intent was actually locked onto him.

Han Dalin's black robe did not contain any armor, because the black robe he wore was made from the skin of an eighth-level black dragon from another world, and was enhanced by divine power to become the robe he wore.

Items blessed by the divine authority possess extraordinary abilities. In many ways, they surpass even the Alliance's Tier 7 armor.

As his source energy surged, his black robe swelled slightly, and he reached out to grab Gao Wu, who was speeding towards him on his sword.

The enormous black dragon's divine form simultaneously extended its claws. The divine form had expanded to over a hundred meters in length, its massive claws gleaming with a black metallic luster, and its five outstretched claws were exceptionally sharp and pointed.

With a swipe of its claw, Gao Wu was completely enveloped within the dragon's claw.

The immense energy field wielded by the Black Dragon God solidified space into invisible rock, trapping Gao Wu within it.

A level six expert would be crushed instantly by such a powerful source force field.

Gao Wu's body was too strong; the flames on his Crimson Dragon Armor dimmed, and some of the metal mechanical structures showed subtle deformations.

As the dragon claws contracted, the pressure on the source force level continued to increase, instantly exceeding the level six limit.

Gao Wu's body could still hold on, but he inevitably suffered strong suppression at the source energy level.

His seventy-two acupoints shone with azure octagonal spiritual light, but his source energy was suppressed by the power of the dragon claw.

At this moment, Gao Wu clearly sensed the difference in source power between the two sides.

Han Dalin's Source Power Index should reach 500,000. Even if he just casually unleashes it, the Source Power controlled by his Martial God Form has already completely overwhelmed him.

Moreover, Han Dalin mobilizes source power using source power true core, and his source power operation efficiency is much higher than his.

Even with the coordinated operation of seventy-two acupoints, no matter how efficient it is, it cannot compare to a unified source of true energy.

There is a fundamental difference between the two sides in terms of source power mode, which is the biggest difference between level six and level seven!

Gao Wu was prepared for this. Although he was inferior in terms of source power, his spirit and physique were far superior to Han Dalin's, and he also possessed the supernatural power of immortality.

Against the self-destructing ice flames of a god-level ice dragon's soul, Changqing's immortality is of little use. But against little Han Dalin, it's incredibly useful.

The simplest application is to frantically unleash the power of the secret technique!
Driven by his unparalleled spiritual power, the azure dragon between his brows raised its head and roared, forcibly stimulating the potential of seventy-two acupoints, causing the seventy-two azure eight-pointed stars to shine with brilliant light.

The stronger the source power level, the more complex and dangerous the eruption, and the lower the upper limit of the eruption.

The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse, however, had no restrictions and directly unleashed its source power to three times its original strength.

Gao Wu's normal source energy value is around 350,000, but a three-fold burst of power brings his source energy value to nearly one million.

Even though his efficiency in circulating source energy was far inferior to Han Dalin's, his absolute advantage in source energy was enough to crush Han Dalin! The vast and mighty source energy surged within Gao Wu's body, naturally giving rise to a sense of grandeur that allowed him to control everything and rule over all living beings.

"Take this!" Gao Wu roared in his mind, pressing his left palm forward as if using the "Regretful Dragon Soaring" technique.

He has profound attainments in the art of Kanglong Dao, and his Kanglong Youhui is arguably his strongest and most domineering palm technique.

The dragon soars too high and then regrets; it gives seven parts out and three parts back. But this backing up is not just about retreating; it actually focuses more on the changes between strength and gentleness.

The palm strike emitted a faint dragon's roar, which was even deeper and more profound than Han Dalin's Black Dragon Divine Form Dragon Roar.

Bai Yan, watching from afar with the eyes of a martial arts master, clearly saw Gao Wu strike out to meet the Black Dragon God. In that instant, he felt the heroic spirit emanating from Gao Wu, a spirit that charged forward and swept away everything.

He could feel the extremely domineering aura of source power emanating from Gao Wu. Even from such a distance, he was shaken to his core by Gao Wu's aura of source power, unable to control himself.

Bai Yan was even more shocked. How exactly did Gao Wu train? He didn't seem to be at level seven, but his source power was far superior to that of level seven.
Before Bai Yan could figure it out, Gao Wu had already blasted the Black Dragon God's claw apart with a single palm strike.

The Overbearing Dragon Regret Palm strike followed the momentum and slammed towards Han Dalin.

Through his mental perception, Bishop Han Dalin, a seventh-level bishop, could even see an invisible source force condensing into a roaring celestial dragon, charging fiercely towards him.

Han Dalin remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was horrified. What had this kid eaten to have such strong source energy?
In the blink of an eye, Han Dalin had no time to think. He formed hand seals and cast the Blood Burning Curse on himself. Faced with Gao Wu's unparalleled source power, he could only activate the Divine Lord's Secret Incantation to burn his spiritual power and forcibly raise his source power level.

The Blood Burning Curse burns the life essence and vitality, causing Han Dalin's source power core to expand and grow, directly increasing his source power by 70%.

Han Dalin once again harnessed his immense source power to meet Gao Wu's attack head-on. The two palms, separated by a distance of seven or eight meters, made a feint strike. The two powerful palm forces collided, and the resulting shockwaves of source power spread out in a ring.

Cai Shilin, who was hiding behind Han Dalin, was the first to be affected. He tried to resist by activating his source power, but he instantly collapsed into a cloud of blood mist under the impact of the extremely violent source power.

The beautiful wooden house crumbled into countless fragments, along with the thick snow, rocks, and vegetation, all of which were shattered and decomposed under the impact of the source force, turning into dust and condensing into a rapidly expanding source force ring.

Bai Yan, who was watching from a distance of a thousand meters, immediately sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly harnessed his source power and soared into the sky, with rolling source power rings sweeping across like a level 15 gale.

Wherever it passed, the cedar trees bent and fell, their branches snapped and flew away, and the snow on the trees was stirred up and sent flying into the sky...

Bai Yan, who had leaped dozens of meters into the air, could see the enormous ring still expanding outwards. He was horrified. The power of the clash between Gao Wu and Han Dalin was comparable to the explosion of a nuclear bomb with a yield of one million kilotons. It was truly terrifying!
Even knowing the power of a level seven expert, witnessing a martial artist unleash such terrifying destructive power still shocked him greatly.

What shocked him even more was that Gao Wu was able to withstand Han Dalin's attack head-on, not only without suffering any loss, but seemingly even gaining the upper hand...

Despite the violent reaction of the source energy, neither Gao Wu nor Han Dalin acted rashly, as they both needed to regulate their source energy and adjust their physical condition.

Gao Wu wasn't idle on a mental level, though. He laughed loudly, "Old Han, is that all you've got? You dare to brag! I'll give you another slap and make you pee your pants!"

Gao Wu wasn't just talking; he had already adjusted his state and unleashed another powerful strike, "Regretful Dragon," at Han Dalin.

The domineering palm strike unleashed by millions of units of source energy left Han Dalin no room to dodge; he could only channel his source energy to meet the attack head-on once more.

The two sides clashed violently with their source energy, unleashing another terrifying shockwave of source energy.

Even someone as strong as Han Dalin was starting to feel weak. He had used the Blood Burning Curse to unleash his source power, and although he had the upper hand in the exchange, it was his own source power that was being depleted.

Looking at Gao Wu's energetic appearance, it seemed effortless for him. If this continued, he would be burned to death by the Blood Burning Curse in less than ten moves.

Such a crude and direct fight is not befitting of a level seven expert. The problem is that he also has to be wary of Song Mingyue, and dares not use his full strength against Gao Wu.

Han Dalin felt incredibly frustrated and knew he couldn't delay any longer. He reached out and touched the Holy Emblem, which had already opened a special space within. Through mental communication, he released the eight-winged mechanical angel.

A two-meter-tall humanoid machine appeared out of thin air. The black machine was made entirely of metal mechanical structure, with only two bright black eyes on its face. Its body proportions were very consistent with the human body structure, and the surface of its pure black metal mechanical body had a beautiful luster. It had both the strength of a machine and an elegant sense of line beauty.

Behind the mechanical angel were eight long, slender, and sharp swords, each two meters long, resembling outstretched wings. However, the eight swords were not physically connected to the body; they were formed into a single entity entirely by a mysterious source force field.

The eight-winged mechanical angel is a powerful mechanical life form created by the Qilin King using alien spirits and machinery. Because the alien spirits can control the source energy core, it has a combat power of level seven.

However, the alien spirit is not very intelligent, only knows how to kill, and is very difficult to control. Han Dalin does not want to release this thing unless it is in a critical moment.

Just as Han Dalin was about to issue a command to the eight-winged mechanical angel through his mind, a blazing bolt of lightning flashed in Gao Wu's eyes, and thirty-five points of mental power unleashed a lightning strike that struck Han Dalin's source power core.

Even with Han Dalin's immense power, the Source Force Core was somewhat interfered with. Although he quickly regained control of the Source Force Core and eliminated the lightning interference.

Song Mingyue made her move, wielding her sword and slashing swiftly. The cold, menacing sword light seemed to break through spatial limitations, striking directly at Han Dalin's mental level.

Han Dalin was prepared for this; the black dragon image above his head spiraled down and transformed into a barrier in front of him.

The cold, menacing sword light froze instantly upon colliding with the Black Dragon God's image.

The divine power of a seventh-level bishop was truly unleashed at this moment. Coupled with the burning of his essence blood, his source power level far surpassed that of Song Mingyue.

The eight-winged mechanical angel had received Han Dalin's order. The four pairs of sharp blades behind it vibrated and instantly arrived in front of Song Mingyue. The eight sharp blades crisscrossed and slashed at Song Mingyue.

The eight longswords had no hilts; both the top and bottom were extremely sharp blades, forged from special metals and divine power. If all eight swords were used together, they would be enough to kill a level seven expert.

The twin serpents of Tai Chi shone in Song Mingyue's eyes as she accelerated the circulation of her own source energy.

The eight-winged mechanical angel's sword light, flashing like lightning, appeared incredibly slow to her.

She reached out with her left hand from the gap in the gleaming blade, and two sword lights slashed at her arm, but failed to harm her in the slightest. Instead, she placed her left hand on the mechanical angel's chest, and the power of an extremely cold ice dragon erupted, directly freezing the source energy core in the mechanical angel's chest.

Han Dalin was shocked. What kind of supernatural power or secret technique was this?
Before Han Dalin could figure it out, Song Mingyue's left palm changed again. Her icy blue left palm tore through the Black Dragon God's barrier and struck Han Dalin's chest.

With nowhere to hide, Han Dalin could only unleash his source power to defend himself. The two palms clashed, and the icy, chilling source power of the Ice Dragon penetrated Han Dalin's entire body.

Even with his abilities, the flow of his source energy was inevitably affected, becoming extremely sluggish; he even felt as if his blood had frozen...

Fortunately, he possessed a Source Energy Core, so even if his body was frozen, it wouldn't have a significant impact; he could quickly recover by activating his Source Energy.

Just then, a streak of crimson sword light pierced straight from behind Han Dalin.

The crimson sword light was too fast; it arrived before Han Dalin even sensed it. Realizing the situation was dire, Han Dalin desperately tried to burn his source energy core to resist this mysterious sword strike.

On the other side, Song Mingyue unleashed the Ice Dragon Claw once again, and the power of extreme cold once more enveloped Han Dalin.

The slight stagnation in the flow of source energy allowed the crimson sword light to seize the opportunity and pierce straight into the back of Han Dalin's head.

Although Han Dalin had a protective source force field, it was as thin as paper under the Heavenly Fate Sword, which was enhanced with a temperature of 15,000 degrees. The crimson Heavenly Fate Sword paused for a moment before suddenly piercing into the back of Han Dalin's head!
Even the most potent source energy core couldn't withstand this sword strike; Han Dalin's brain was instantly carbonized into ash under the intense heat...

Han Dalin, the seventh-level bishop of the powerful alliance, was killed by Song Mingyue and Gao Wu in a joint attack.

Gao Wu was not proud of this at all; the moment Han Dalin appeared, the outcome was already predetermined.

What truly surprised him was the eight-winged mechanical angel. This thing looked to be similar to his mechanical warhorse, only much more powerful.

Fortunately, Han Dalin is dead, and there's no one to control it. This thing doesn't seem to have much intelligence, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with, and we could even recruit it for our own use...

Gao Wu used his mental power to say to Song Mingyue, "Be careful, try your best to subdue this thing."

Song Mingyue replied, "They lack intelligence, so they're not difficult to deal with."

While seventh-tier power is formidable, the most important thing is having sufficient martial arts wisdom to wield it. The eight-winged mechanical angels may appear strong, but they pose no real threat to them.

Bai Yan, who had jumped into the air, was stunned. He saw the eight-winged mechanical angel and thought the battle was about to turn around.

As a result, Han Dalin died instantly. He didn't even see how Han Dalin died; he only saw a sharp, swift flash of crimson sword light, and Han Dalin was dead...

He couldn't help but swallow hard. Judging from Gao Wu and Song Mingyue's performance, killing Han Dalin seemed to be effortless!

That was a seventh-level bishop, how could he be killed like a chicken?! These young people nowadays are just too damn reckless…
