Hearing this, Lin Changâsheng couldnât help but sneer coldly.
Even if he didnât kill Situ Wu purely by his own cultivation, at the very least it was his own array that did the job.
Doesnât array formation count as part of oneâs own power?
Itâs not like he ambushed the guy.
But with someone whoâs about to die, Lin Changâsheng didnât bother to waste his breath.
"After youâre dead, you can ask Situ Wu yourself how he died."
As soon as Lin Changâsheng finished speaking, he directly summoned the Divine Thunder Bow and Evil-Breaking Saber.
Both arms drew the bow, one hand slashing down.
Instantly, two attacks exploded forth, shooting straight at Xiang Tian.
Both were unleashed by upper grade Celestial Spirit Treauresâtheir power was terrifying.
The power of Celestial Thunder on the Divine Thunder Bow was unmatched, its strikes were world-shattering, the roar thunderous, as if the Thunder God himself was enraged.
Meanwhile, the attack from the Evil-Breaking Blade twisted space itself as it struck.
One could see how inexorably powerful the blade aura was.
Xiang Tian, battle-hardened as he was, knew the incoming attacks from Celestial Spirit Treasures werenât easy to take. If he tried to take them head-on, heâd be seriously injuredâor worse, killed outright.
So he immediately dodged aside, avoiding the brunt of the blows.
Yet the blade aura was easier to dodge; the tens of thousands of thunderbolt arrows rained down, impossible to evade.
The thunderbolt arrows poured down like a torrential storm, leaving Xiang Tian nowhere to run.
In the end, all he could do was conjure an elemental shield before himself to block.
BOOMâ
As the thunderbolt arrows collided with the elemental shield in front of Xiang Tian, a deafening explosion shook the air.
In a flash, the shield was torn apart by the Celestial Thunder Arrows, the violent impact sending Xiang Tian hurtling backward, slamming hard into a distant wall, blasting a giant crater into it as countless rocks came tumbling down.
Ughâ
Smashing into the ground, Xiang Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood.
In front of him now was nothing but shattered stoneâclearly, heâd been severely wounded by the Divine Thunder Arrows.
The power of this Divine Thunder Bow was too much for even a fierce beast like the Fire Qilin to take, let alone someone just at the early stage of Void Refining like Xiang Tian.
"What a ferocious attack!"
Xiang Tian shuddered inside; heâd only been one small realm behind Lin Changâsheng, yet now he realized he had no means to strike back against this kind of onslaught.
Standing before him, Lin Changâsheng was like an insurmountable mountain, impossible to shake.
"Die!"
Lin Changâsheng had no intention of letting Xiang Tian catch his breath. With the thunder arrows having already battered Xiang Tian, he was ready to finish the job with the Gods World Destruction Palm.
Xiang Tian knew that if he didnât use his lifesaving trump card now, he was done for.
He quickly pulled a vial from his sleeve. Inside was a strange black pill. Without hesitation, Xiang Tian threw his head back and swallowed it down.
In the next instant, lines of black runes surged all over his body as his cultivation began to skyrocket uncontrollably.
"Aaaahâ"
Xiang Tian was clearly enduring unimaginable agony, letting out a tortured scream.
Within two short breaths, Xiang Tian leapt up not one but two small realmsâstraight from the early stage to the late stage of Void Refining.
The primordial power in his body exploded in strength.
The sight even made Lin Changâsheng a little shocked.
This pill was that vicious?
It could bump a cultivator two full small realms in just seconds?
BANG BANG BANGâ
The next instant, palm seals crashed into Xiang Tianâs body, but they could no longer brutalize himâinstead, he merely slid three yards back before steadying himself.
When Xiang Tian raised his head, his eyes were pitch black, as if the pillâs force had devoured his mind entirely.
"Kill. Killâ!"
Xiang Tian roared maniacally. In a blink, he leapt up, hurling a fist aura straight at Lin Changâsheng in midair.
But Lin Changâsheng was in the critical moment of subduing the Fire Qilin and couldnât move, so he could only unleash arrows, blade aura, and fist seals to parry Xiang Tianâs attacks.
Though Xiang Tianâs cultivation had soared, he still wasnât much stronger than Lin Changâsheng, and was shaken back over and over by Linâs counterstrikes.
But Xiang Tian was like a tireless beast, each time knocked back he came charging again, launching a relentless and mad assault at Lin Changâsheng.
Thankfully, Lin Changâsheng possessed the Six-Armed Divine Techniqueâhis extra four arms handled Xiang Tianâs attacks, or else things wouldâve gone south fast.
As time wore on, even with the Godslaying Pill boosting him, Xiang Tian couldnât do a thing to Lin Changâsheng.
Lin shook him off relentlessly; Xiang Tianâs arms and waist got battered, wounded again and again.
But under the pillâs effects, he felt no pain at all.
Still, that kind of cultivation boost always had a time limit.
After about the time it takes for burning an incense stick, the black glow faded slowly from Xiang Tianâs eyesâhis senses returning a little.
He knew he couldnât stay here anymore. If even the Godslaying Pillâs effects couldnât defeat Lin Changâsheng, once those wore off heâd be dead for sure.
So, Xiang Tian immediately fled into the cavern ahead.
If Lin Changâshengâs contract wasnât still unfinished, he absolutely wouldâve chased after him and ended it right there.
But in this instant, all he could do was watch Xiang Tian escape.
[Contract finalized!]
Roughly half an incense stick later, Lin Changâsheng finally finished the master-servant contract with the Fire Qilin.
He opened his panel, discovering that heâd gained a five-hundred-year increase in lifespan, and the Qilin Flame.
It was probably because the Fire Qilin controlled flame, so he received the Qilin Flame.
Much like how the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle possessed the power of thunder, so after contracting it, Lin Changâsheng gained the Power of Celestial Thunder too.
