Chapter 175 One slash creates an abyss
"Damn it, I'll come find you after I'm done over there." Xu Sheng cursed as he flew away.
Although he could curse them, he couldn't let Jiuying go if someone actually came. If Jiuying died, he would die too. There was no other way; he had to stop them.
"Hehe," Jiuying chuckled softly, continuing to search for clues.
He wasn't in a hurry. If Garuda, who was controlling Su Ming's body, could kill Xu Sheng, that would be great, provided that he could actually kill him and not be tricked.
Su Ming flew directly towards the Red Prison Palace. His current state was neither long nor short, enough to completely resolve all the anomalies here, at least that's what Xiao Qing thought.
Su Ming's eyes turned blue, a sign of Xiao Qing's power. Compared to Bi Fang's fire, he was more comfortable with the power of wind and space, since these were originally Xiao Qing's powers.
Fire was merely a side effect.
Su Ming's head suddenly darkened, and he became alert, realizing that the timing of the darkness was extremely inopportune.
He stopped in mid-air, and a powerful wind swept through, instantly deterring the cursed spiders that were preparing to launch a sneak attack.
The cursed spider tried to retreat, but Su Ming wouldn't give it the chance, opening his palm and applying force.
The source of power is Xiaoqing, not magic at all. No magic circle is needed; the effect of magic can be achieved simply by thinking about it.
As Su Ming exerted force, the powerful spatial pressure tightly controlled the cursed spider. Even with the help of the spider web, it was unable to break free for the time being. The cursed spider kept roaring, calling for its master to help it out of its predicament.
"Su Ming, it's time to stop."
whoosh whoosh~~~
A massive pillar of fire shot into the sky from the ground, instantly engulfing Su Ming at a speed that left no time for anyone to react.
Such a powerful attack naturally attracted the attention of many people, but this was a battlefield for high-level mages, and they could not interfere.
"A fight has broken out." Mr. Wu was the first to feel the fluctuations; they were so immense that even if he entered them, he would only be floating on the surface.
Jiang Shaoxu and the others also noticed the situation over there. A towering pillar of fire was there, and they could only pray that Su Ming was alright.
"Use fire against me? Jiuying should know many things, including that I possess Bifang's inextinguishable fire. Didn't he tell you that?" Su Ming walked out unharmed, his clothes not even torn, which made Xu Sheng frown.
Extreme resistance to flames?
Trouble.
"You are not Su Ming," Xu Sheng said slowly. Those green eyes, that oppressive aura—they didn't seem human; they were more like some kind of terrifying, naturally born creature. "Yes and no, it's up to you what you think you are," Su Ming laughed. He didn't want others to know about him, but only if they discovered it themselves.
Xiaoqing had no interest in telling them about her existence.
"Whether you are or not, you've crossed the line. This isn't a place you can come to. You can still leave now, or you'll die here," Xu Sheng said coldly. He glanced warily at the cursed spiders overhead, now that he had regained his freedom of movement.
Although the fire magic did not harm Su Ming, it did save the cursed spider, so it wasn't entirely useless.
"With you?" Su Ming sneered.
A slash of wind was unleashed; this was one of Xiao Qing's attack methods.
A sense of crisis washed over Xu Sheng, and his body instinctively shifted slightly to the right, a movement that saved his life.
A deep gash cut out a bottomless gash inside, and the slash went all the way to the end. Xu Sheng was terrified. If that blow had hit him, he would definitely be dead now, cleaved in two, with no chance of survival.
"Damn it, what kind of magic pill did this guy take? He's even more powerful than Jiang Shaotian. He's probably reached the peak of the monarch level." Xu Sheng's face was a bit ugly, and cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead.
That damned Jiuying! Every time Jiuying speaks, it's never anything good. Now he's actually fighting against this monster himself. Jiuying should really be allowed to fight it himself.
"One more time." Another slash was unleashed, but this time Xu Sheng was on guard, and the slash disappeared mid-air.
Qing was slightly taken aback, but then realized what the principle was.
A second later, an attack even more powerful than the slash he had unleashed came toward Su Ming, but Su Ming twisted his body and dodged it.
But the slash disappeared after traveling a certain distance, and then reappeared from the spot where it had disappeared to attack Su Ming.
Moreover, the power of this slash increases with each strike, seemingly without limit.
Su Ming dodged with ease, which was not difficult at all. If Su Ming could be injured by his own attacks, that would be true digestion, and he would not deserve the name Garuda.
"I see. Chaos magic, huh? A power I haven't mastered. Spatial magic can achieve a similar effect, but the principle is different. Not bad magic," Su Ming commented.
He had already seen through the magic's trick and looked up with a smile.
"All magic has its limits; nothing is eternal. Chaos magic is no exception. The Gate of Chaos has a limit; breaking that limit is all that matters." Su Ming understood the principle and immediately began to put it into action.
He first used spatial energy to seal some of the chaotic gates, and then used countless slashes to break through the remaining ones.
Although the bulletproof armor continued, its speed was noticeably slower, as if it had reached its limit.
"Damn it!" Xu Sheng gritted his teeth. It was normal for the Chaos Magic to be exposed, but he didn't expect that his carefully prepared magic would be broken so quickly. Xu Sheng signaled to the Cursed Spider, who was also an old partner. It could understand Xu Sheng's meaning with just a glance. It began to wander around the high sky, looking for an opportunity to make a move.
Xu Sheng had no intention of holding back; he needed to go all out here, otherwise everything would be in vain.
He brought out the sons and grandsons of the cursed spider. A curse is fatal, regardless of whether it is mid-level, high-level, or super-level.
Sometimes, intermediate-level spells can produce extraordinary effects.
The entire group of cursed spiders stood by, ready to attack at any moment.
Xu Sheng then prepared a super-level water-based spell. Since fire magic was useless, he would use fire instead. Besides, fire might not be useless; perhaps Su Ming's fire resistance was extremely high.
He really didn't know about Bi Fang's Undying Flame. Jiu Ying had never mentioned it. He had heard about Helan Mountain when he was outside, but it wasn't as complicated as Xu Sheng's place, and he hadn't bothered to find out more. So he didn't know that Su Ming possessed the Undying Flame.
After several gusts of wind, the Gate of Chaos reached its limit. With a cracking sound, the Gate of Chaos shattered completely, and the vast energy stored within it returned to Su Ming's origin.
"Get out of here!" Xu Sheng shouted, having prepared his magic just as the Gate of Chaos was about to shatter.
