Chapter 501: Chapter 419: Storm (2)

The figure’s face was identical to Chen Li’s.

It was slowly opening its eyes, calmly looking at him.

"You..."

The pupils of Jiang Buyu’s Primordial Spirit constricted, and his mind reeled in shock.

’How is this possible?!’

’Didn’t his Primordial Spirit go after Junior Brother Ye?’

’Why is there still one inside his Divine Hall Acupoint?!’

Jiang Buyu’s Primordial Spirit froze completely. His eyes filled with utter horror and disbelief, his thoughts grinding to a halt.

In a flash,

The faint golden Primordial Spirit rose to its feet. With a flicker of light, the Qiankun Ruyi Staff materialized in its hand.

"Since you’re here, you’re not leaving."

There was no idle talk, no testing the waters. The Primordial Spirit spoke flatly, raising the long staff and bringing it crashing down on the head of Jiang Buyu’s Primordial Spirit.

OMMM...

On the staff’s shaft, the Order Divine Chains erupted in brilliant light, a terrifying aura instantly flooding the entire Divine Hall Acupoint.

Jiang Buyu was terrified out of his wits.

His Heart Spirit was in turmoil from the sudden turn of events. In his haste, he had no time to defend or dodge.

He subconsciously raised the phantom of a Heavy Sword in his hands to block the sudden, terrifying blow.

However, the might of Chen Li’s full-powered strike was far beyond what his hasty defense could ever hope to withstand.

BOOM!

A muffled explosion echoed within Chen Li’s Divine Hall Acupoint.

The Qiankun Ruyi Staff smashed down unimpeded onto the Divine Sense Heavy Sword raised by Jiang Buyu’s Primordial Spirit.

CRACK!

The Heavy Sword shattered on impact, dissolving into a shower of fading light.

The staff’s momentum carried through, crashing solidly into the head of Jiang Buyu’s Primordial Spirit.

"No...!"

Cracks instantly webbed across Jiang Buyu’s Primordial Spirit before it completely shattered, breaking apart into countless dim, rapidly fading motes of light.

Until the moment his Primordial Spirit disintegrated and his consciousness faded into eternal darkness, Jiang Buyu remained filled with doubt and confusion.

’His Primordial Spirit... it didn’t leave? Then what was that thing chasing...?’

Unfortunately, he would never find out.

Jiang Buyu’s physical body, which had been fighting Chen Li, suddenly froze. The light in his eyes rapidly faded.

BANG!

Chen Li’s staff struck out, smashing heavily into his chest.

CRACK!

His sternum shattered, and his organs were turned to pulp.

Jiang Buyu’s body was sent flying like a broken doll, crashing hard into the ground dozens of yards away and kicking up a cloud of dust.

His aura vanished. He was completely dead.

A Supreme Elder of the Celestial Sword Sect, who had held sway over Jiangnan for decades, had just perished in both body and Divine Soul.

「Meanwhile.」

Under the cover of night, Ye Guhong was fleeing with all his might.

He pushed his speed to the absolute limit, running for his life, praying that Brother Jiang could hold on for just a little longer.

However, he soon felt a cold, powerful Divine Sense lock onto him. It clung to him like a persistent shadow, closing in at an astonishing speed.

A faint golden stream of light, despite starting its pursuit later, shot past him, covering hundreds of yards in an instant to block his path.

It was Chen Li’s Second Primordial Spirit.

"You..."

Ye Guhong came to a sudden halt, staring intently at the Primordial Spirit blocking his path, a flash of horror in his eyes.

’A Primordial Spirit is chasing me?’

’Isn’t he afraid Brother Jiang will use this opportunity to destroy his Divine Hall?!’

In that instant, he stopped dead in his tracks, turned, and prepared for battle.

’If I can’t escape, then I have to fight for my life. Maybe I can still create an opportunity for Brother Jiang.’

"Kill!"

Ye Guhong’s Primordial Spirit also stepped forward. He held a Soft Sword, its light pulsing as he charged toward Chen Li’s Second Primordial Spirit.

His line of thinking was identical to Jiang Buyu’s.

Attacking one person with the physical body while sending the Primordial Spirit after another was a great taboo among Martial Artists.

’As long as Brother Jiang can seize this chance to invade his Divine Hall and strike at his core, we might just be able to turn the tables tonight!’

CLANG!

The Power of their Primordial Spirits clashed violently.

"Guiyuan?"

Ye Guhong’s expression flickered. He never expected that the Primordial Spirit chasing him only possessed the strength of the Guiyuan Realm.

’Then what about the physical body that was just suppressing both of them? What in the world...’

’What in the world is going on?!’

For a moment, Ye Guhong was completely bewildered.

But just a moment later, he suddenly sensed a disturbance in the distance.

"Brother Jiang?!"

Ye Guhong’s face fell. He whipped his head around to look toward the docks.

Jiang Buyu’s aura had completely vanished, as if it had never been there at all.

"Impossible... How can this be? What happened?!"

Ye Guhong’s face was ashen. Overcome with horror, he couldn’t help but let out a roar of rage and confusion.

’Run!’

Without another moment of hesitation, Ye Guhong turned to flee in the opposite direction.

But it was too late.

BOOM!

Chen Li’s figure had already caught up, blocking his path.

"Die."

Without another word, he brought the Qiankun Ruyi Staff down on Ye Guhong’s head with the force of a landslide, just as the man had turned to flee.

Terrified, Ye Guhong hastily parried with a backhanded strike of his sword while trying to dodge.

CLANG... PFFT!

The Soft Sword snapped.

The terrifying aftershock of the blow slammed into Ye Guhong’s shoulder and back.

"Argh..."

Ye Guhong screamed as he was sent flying forward, crashing hard onto the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his shoulder blade shattered.

Before he could even struggle to his feet, Chen Li was on him like a shadow. The second blow from his staff came crashing down with even more terrifying force.

A look of utter despair and madness flashed through Ye Guhong’s eyes.

’I’m doomed. There’s no escape.’

"Then let’s die together!"

He shrieked, and his Primordial Spirit recklessly transformed into a streak of light, attempting to charge into Chen Li’s Divine Hall Acupoint and self-destruct!

’Even if I can’t take him down with me, I have to cripple him.’

But would Chen Li give him that chance?

’Useless.’

With a mere thought from Chen Li, the Primordial Spirit simply swung its long staff down.

PFFT...

Before Ye Guhong’s Primordial Spirit could even self-destruct, the staff struck, and it disintegrated completely, dissolving into countless motes of light that vanished into the night sky.
