Third-Tier Spirit Comprehension, Annihilation!!

A chaotic melee!! Blood sprayed through the air. Roars and battle cries were all but swallowed by continuous explosions. Following Li Guanqi's breakthrough and emergence from seclusion—aided by the Gu clan's Pill Tribulation Thunder Pool—his spirit comprehension had directly reached the third tier. With his realm elevated and his spirit comprehension deepened, his combat power skyrocketed. Yet none of that was the most crucial change. What mattered most was that with Li Guanqi awake, everyone could fight their own battles rather than pouring all their energy into protecting him. Free of that burden, they could finally go all out. The battlefield shifted in an instant. With Li Guanqi joining the fray, everyone rallied to counterattack the assassins of Sha. Li Guanqi sent a grim transmission: "Gu Li, fall back! Use your inscribed talismans to restrict their movements and construct a suppressive boundary!!" Gu Li grinned, pulling off the storage armlet on his left wrist. "On it!" "Death Row Inscription!!" *Boom!!!* Eerie black inscribed talismans drifted outward one after another, followed by hundreds upon thousands more scattering in every direction. These inscribed talismans carried various enhancement effects, drifting onto the bodies of his companions. Instantly, their expressions hardened as renewed strength surged into their exhausted limbs, making their movements noticeably lighter. Not only that, but the inscribed talismans suddenly materializing all around also hindered the assassins. "Zhou Shiyu, go regroup with Cao Yan and the others! Form a three-man battle formation instead of stubbornly holding out on your own!!" Brandishing his greatsword, Zhou Shiyu flashed over to Cao Yan's rear at the command, knocking back an oncoming assassin with a single slash, fresh blood splattered across his face. Order after order flowed from Li Guanqi's lips, gradually turning the tide in their favor. Yet just as Li Guanqi and Meng Wanshu were joining forces to execute a red-robed assassin, Cao Yan's voice abruptly sounded by his ear. "Boss, should we pull Second Brother back? "Something feels off with him. The power in his ghost hand is way too intense right now... "It's abnormally strong. "It's almost... exceeding his actual cultivation realm!!" Li Guanqi slashed his sword several times, sending a severed wrist flying into the air, and expanded his divine sense across the battlefield. Only then did he realize Cao Yan was right. Ye Feng's right eye had turned crimson, and threads of blood were creeping into his left eye as well. The power surging through his right ghost hand had indeed surpassed his original cultivation. Relying on the ghost hand alone, he was fighting his opponent to a standstill. And Ye Feng had only just broken through! Under the pressure of this battle, Cao Yan and Xiao Chen could barely manage to avoid becoming dead weight; they could hardly even wound these assassins. Only Ye Feng was able to trade blows back and forth with a red-robed assassin within the domain Meng Jiangchu had erected. The enemies' cultivation had been forcibly suppressed by a minor realm within the domain forged by the four heavenly flames. Even so, for a Sha assassin at the mid Body Integration Realm to be fought to a draw by someone who had just broken through into Body Integration... Demonic qi surged fiercely. Ye Feng resembled a rampaging Abyss Demon, his physique seemingly swelling in size. Gripping the Nu Sha sword of Apocalypse, every slash shook and dispersed a great deal of the opponent's origin power. Li Guanqi vaulted backward and called out in a low voice, "Second Brother, keep the power of the ghost hand under control!!" Ye Feng whipped his head around, the bloody threads fading slightly as he transmitted back, "Understood! I know my limits!" *Boom!!* *Rumble!!!* Li Guanqi and Meng Wanshu exchanged a glance and shot forward in unison. At the same time, ice blossoms bloomed behind Meng Wanshu, unleashing terrifying bursts of frigid power!! *Boom!!* "Apocalypse: Snow Shadow!" The Snow Shadow Sword erupted with brilliant azure light, sending waves of frost churning in all directions. Meng Wanshu traced profound, exquisite arcs with her wrist, her left palm concealed within the long sleeve of her dress as she whispered softly: "Ten Thousand Li of Frozen Wastes!!" *Buzz!!!* *Rumble!!!!* Without warning, a wave of glacial chill swept across a radius of a hundred li!! The entire void transformed into a world of frosty white, and Li Guanqi bellowed, "Gu Li, now!!!" A cold glint flickered in Gu Li's eyes. Spiritual light surged between his hands as he formed intricate hand seals and shouted, "Spirit Talisman: Great Teleportation Technique!" *Buzz!!!* Every inscribed talisman previously restricting the enemies suddenly split into two!!! The black inscribed talismans of the Death Row Inscription had merely been a decoy. The two talismans had clung closely together, yet only one had been burning. Now, dozens of inscribed talismans throughout the surrounding void flashed with silver light, forcibly teleporting every Sha assassin several hundred zhang directly before Li Guanqi. Blood trickled from Meng Wanshu's nose and lips as the Snow Shadow Sword blurred into countless afterimages, unleashing over a hundred slashes in rapid succession!!! "Lingering Snow Sword Art: Snow Dance Drifting!!!!" A dazzling storm of sword light drifted down like falling snowflakes—yet these seemingly gorgeous flakes were deadly, soul-reaping blades of cold radiance!! Wind and clouds churned across heaven and earth. The sheer lethality Meng Wanshu unleashed far exceeded everyone's expectations. Gu Li gaped in disbelief, muttering, "I thought she relied on external tools just like me... Does that mean I'm the only one left?" Meanwhile, Li Guanqi's gaze turned razor-sharp. His left hand gripped the hilt of the Red Lotus sword, while thunder condensed around his right hand to form the most solid scabbard he had ever conjured!! *Buzz!!!* A sharp, potent sword qi sliced through the void, tearing open countless fissures across a thousand zhang!! Terror filled the eyes of the frozen Sha members!! With their cultivation suppressed to the mid Body Integration Realm, the power Li Guanqi was amassing was more than enough to strike dread into all of them!! Beneath the Five Yang Ghost Fire, compounded by the three other heavenly flames, the Abyss Demons were suppressed to the point of shattering apart. That was one of the reasons everyone could breathe a little easier. As for the other low-tier red-robed cultivators, they posed no real threat beneath the onslaught of Ye Feng and the others. The only ones Li Guanqi and his companions truly had to take seriously were these Wang-tier experts!! Sword qi surged as Li Guanqi crouched low, his entire body wound tight like an arrow nocked on a fully drawn bow!! Over a dozen Wang-tier experts unleashed wild surges of primal energy, steadily breaking through the ice encasing their bodies. *Splatter! Splatter! Splatter! Clang! Slash!!* Meng Wanshu's sword qi erupted, sweeping over them like a biting frost storm!! In an instant, several ice sculptures were engulfed by sword light and shredded into bloody gore. *Cough!!* Meng Wanshu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the bloody mist freezing into crystals that pattered downward through the air. Her face pale, she urged rapidly, "Hurry! I can't hold them much longer!!" Killing intent flared in Li Guanqi's eyes, and the void beneath his feet detonated with a heavy thud!! To everyone present, heaven and earth seemed to plunge into sudden darkness—as though all light had been plundered away by a single stroke of sword light.
