A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 404: Chapter 362: Power of One Palm

But it was too late.

The Xun Wind Giant formed by the Dao Pattern of Wangg Hao instinctively clapped its hands together, trapping Lu Qian in its palms. With a thunderous roar, the palms went numb from the shock, but they were empty, with only a wisp of cloud dissipating.

Startled, he was about to lift his hands when a pervasive golden light erupted from below, enveloping the giant.

Despite the unimaginable strength of the Xun Wind Giant, with raging green tornadoes swirling around it, it was momentarily frozen in mid-air.

In the next moment, the sound of roaring waves echoed from below!

Intense spiritual pressure surged up, the lethal intent sending chills through Wangg Hao’s body.

Except for Kong Lingde, all attacks were blocked by the Shuangye Alliance. A single Kong Lingde could not break the barrier of the Six Harmonies Grand Array.

Now, with an overwhelming force rising, panic ensued, and everyone hastily retreated, leaving Wangg Hao locked in the golden light.

”Save me!” Wangg Hao shouted in terror, but the response was everyone fleeing for their lives in crisis.

This loosely assembled force, though seemingly formidable, was not united in intent!

Within the Six Harmonies Grand Array, all eyes of the cultivators were on Lu Qian.

Lu Qian was surrounded by a five-colored glow, his array map blazing with light as ten Spirit Crystals swiftly turned into powder. In his dantian, black and white Spirit Flowers shook rapidly, and the Five Elements Dao Pattern spun at high speed. In his hand, he had already grasped the bone-chilling, towering Gui Water Tidal Wave!

”Go!”

The small figure flung the sky-high wave towards the giant with a thunderous throw!

At the moment the Gui Water Tidal Wave was released, black thunder surged, and the deafening thunderclap nearly shattered everyone’s eardrums.

The towering Gui Water Wave transformed into Gui Water Divine Thunder and, with a heavy palm strike from Lu Qian, it shot upwards, crashing into the giant’s chest and abdomen!

”Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Divine Skill, Furious Sea Urgent Thunder Palm!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Furious Sea Urgent Thunder, tide raged, and thunder surged. In an instant, the black thunder light engulfed the Xun Wind Giant entirely.

The explosive Thunder Light left everyone dumbfounded, Kong Lingde’s face turned pale with shock, exclaiming, ”Golden Core!”

As the terrifying devouring and tearing intent of the palm strike descended, the Xun Wind Giant disintegrated in an instant, death was imminent. Wangg Hao shouted, and a bright glow erupted from an item he held.

It was the Cyan Treasure Glaze Banner gifted by Master Fengfeng of Xuanguang Sect, a top-tier Defensive Spiritual Artifact!

Desperate, he activated it, the Glazed Banner radiating light, layering thirty-six Defensive Light Shields densely, firmly protecting Wangg Hao within.

But the piercing thunder roared, black thunder light whistled in, and in an instant, all thirty-six shields were shattered!

The Spiritual Artifact could no longer withstand this palm strike, as its power was already at the Golden Core level!

At the face of life and death, Wangg Hao disregarded shock and pain. Focusing his Sword Pointing, he shouted.

”Explode!”

With a thunderous boom, thousands of cyan Spirit Flowers radiated from the Glazed Banner. This top-tier Defensive Spiritual Artifact used its last resort, violently self-destructing!

A thousand Spirit Flowers tangled with the tidal Gui Water Divine Thunder, the dazzling light and rolling shockwave sent the unprepared Qi Cultivators flying.

In the roaring explosion, Wangg Hao’s body was surrounded by flashing thunder light, his skin like charcoal, and he was thrown high into the air!

Zhang Wei caught him in his hand, relieved to find the leader still had a faint breath. Just then, Kong Lingde shouted, ”Retreat! Retreat!”

The Kong Family cultivators had suffered significant losses, and now having witnessed the power of a Golden Core, their will to fight was broken, and they wished for nothing but to flee.

With him leading, the Kong Family cultivators gave a cry, turned, and ran, triggering a chain reaction. Like a snowflake that caused an avalanche, everyone lost their courage and hastily retreated.

The five Floating Battleships that had just landed turned around in a panic, with the three in front also reversing at full speed. The Qi Cultivators scattered in all directions, bumping and jostling, creating chaos.

Even Lu Qian hadn’t expected his palm strike to have such an effect. Now completely out of strength to fight, he dragged his extremely weak body, enduring the splitting pain in his head, and with the support of Duu Yeming and Tong You, mustered all his strength and shouted, ”Fire!”

A barrage of cannon fire erupted!

The cultivators of the Shuangye Alliance surged back into the Divine Ship, firing the recharged vessel. The Void-Soaring and Distant-Guarding Divine Ship’s eighty Spiritual Power Cannons transformed into tools of harvest, the five Divine Ship’s Spiritual Power Light Cannons exploded across the sky, decimating the chaotic enemy ranks!

After this round of bombardment, dozens of Kong Family and Spirit Talisman Sect disciples were reduced to nothing but debris, falling into the forest below as nourishment. The enemy’s few Floating Battleships were also severely damaged, with decks cracked and masts broken.

”Sect Leader, let’s break through!” Duu Yeming said hurriedly.

Lu Qian was moved, but just then, he saw in the increasingly chaotic enemy formation, the Spirit Talisman Sect’s banner raised high.

He sighed, ”It’s Zhuang Qing... let it be, hold firm, don’t pursue, help me down to regulate my breath.”

Zhuang Qing stood under the Spirit Talisman Sect’s banner, his gray hair stood on end, voice resonating, ”Master Fengfeng is here! Don’t panic! Master Fengfeng is here!”

Their own Golden Core was where their confidence lay!

With the name of Master Fengfeng, the panic in the hearts of everyone settled instantly, looking around for the figure in white, with fierce spiritual pressure.

Then Zhuang Qing shouted, ”Master Fengfeng has contacted me, he will be here any moment, listen to my command, retreat a hundred feet back!”

Having fled a certain distance, another hundred-foot retreat put them completely out of the attack range of the Shuangye Alliance’s Divine Ship. Without external threats, the disorganized cultivators calmed further, awaiting the next instruction.

”Don’t panic! Everyone reboard the ships, keep the eight Floating Battleships at a safe distance, and once again surround Golden Dawn Peak! We have six Foundation Establishment cultivators and four hundred elites, the Shuangye Alliance doesn’t dare come out!”

”Anyone who yells and disrupts, when Master arrives, he’ll surely take your heads!”

Under his command and shout, the cultivator army swiftly reorganized, once again surrounding Golden Dawn Peak from afar.

On Golden Dawn Peak, Duu Yeming and Tong You exchanged glances, then looked at Lu Qian, who had ingested a Spirit Pill and was meditating, feeling great admiration.

Had it not been for Sect Leader’s foresight, if they had charged out to pursue, they might have been thoroughly defeated!

Xuanguang Sect and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the subordinate sects regrouped. They looked at the unconscious Wangg Hao, their expressions grim. They naturally knew the words about Master Fengfeng’s imminent arrival as Zhuang Qing’s fabrication, for the Master was still on Lotus Peak, holding off the forces of Liangxiang County.

Kong Lingde wished to speak, but Zhuang Qing interrupted, ”Patriarch Kong, even if Elder Wangg cannot lead, we must not retreat on our own accord, otherwise when Master Fengfeng holds us accountable later, can you bear it?”
