CHAPTER 467: CHAPTER 467: GUARANTEED HIT

"Aoooaoooo!!"

Medusa and the snakes on her head snarled fiercely, letting out a silent, shrill howl, their gazes fixed intently on the Eight-sided Han Sword just inches away.

As an extension of her own body and will, the eerie, penetrating roar traveled back to the main body through the bloodline-connected treasure sword, exploding directly in Zhu Haomiao’s mind.

It was as if a heavy hammer struck his forehead, causing Zhu Haomiao to involuntarily lean back slightly, his mind going blank.

At the same time, the Glazed Glass Sword Gang that enveloped the Eight-sided Han Sword suddenly lost its color, petrifying into a grayish-white fragile shell, rapidly disintegrating into powder and dissolving into the air.

Even the sword’s edge itself gradually dulled, taking on a coarse gray-white hue.

After a brief loss of focus, Zhu Haomiao’s hollow pupils swiftly regained clarity, re-concentrating his will.

In an instant, the stony patches spreading across his face solidified and then shattered off, revealing the fresh red flesh wriggling beneath.

[Lust]!

Activating the Original Sin Authority, a torrent of life energy surged to the wound, with new skin spreading rapidly over it, visibly covering the damage.

Watching as the black-clad young man recovered in just a few breaths, Athena frowned deeply.

Even for the [Abyss], this super-speed regeneration is a bit exaggerated...

But there was no time for deeper thought. Borrowing the momentum from her charge that hadn’t yet faded, Athena gathered herself, her tightly toned long legs stomping hard, her whole body shooting forward like an unstoppable golden spear, straight at the enemy.

On the other side, with the petrification divinity on the Eight-sided Han Sword not completely worn off, Zhu Haomiao did not resist the aggressive thrust head-on and instead executed the Liangyi Yin Yang Step, disappearing instantly on the spot.

[Absolute Shadow]!

But just as he vanished, Athena, who lost her target, let out a sharp cry, as a divine light exploded in her eyes, the spear tip condensing two mysterious runes.

"Crown·Gun·Guaranteed Hit!"

Stab!

The bizarre law directly altered reality. Even though the thrust had been dodged, Zhu Haomiao’s pupils contracted as he stiffly looked at the golden spear piercing through his abdomen, skewering him completely.

What... just happened?

Across dozens of meters, the spear in Athena’s hand seemed to pierce into the void, yet the spear tip had penetrated the body of the black-clad youth.

Swish~

Retracting the spear, Athena elegantly raised her swan-like long neck, chuckling coldly.

"Did you think that the same trick would work on me twice?"

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

Do you really think you’re a Saint Fighter?!

Clutching the wound that pierced through his abdomen, the foreign divinity intruding into his body adhered to his flesh like a living thing, continually tearing at the healing granulation, causing incessant, excruciating pain.

The persistent agony stimulated his nerves like an excitant, and a morbid euphoria surged like a tide, while the ferocious blood glow in Zhu Haomiao’s eyes uncontrollably churned, trying to escape the shackles of rationality.

Kill!

Bloodshed!

Destruction!

Obliteration!

Obliterate everything... including himself!

The menacing blood glow on the verge of eruption in his eyes condensed suddenly, forcibly suppressing the impulses of destruction and self-destruction. Zhu Haomiao raised his hand to grasp at the air, and the distant Eight-sided Han Sword darted into his palm like a swallow returning to its nest.

Restrain [Anger], [Dao Heart] +10

Crack~

With a shake of the hand that released a burst of strength, the petrified shell on the sword’s edge shattered and fell off, revealing the mottled, corroded sword body beneath.

Endless divinity infused into it, causing the dim Eight-sided Han Sword to radiate divine light, rapidly regaining its sharpness.

Witnessing this, Athena raised an eyebrow slightly, a rumor about the Chinese Sword Immortal flashing through her mind.

"Not afraid of ten thousand swords blocking the sun and moon, but wary of a single sword held in hand!"

When a Chinese Sword Immortal wields his own life-long sword, even the gods and Buddhas must regard him solemnly.

Cautiously observing the increasingly twisted and eerie aura of the black-clad youth, Athena focused, invoking her high authority, and condensed conceptual-level law patterns on the golden spear.

[Dragon Slayer]!

[Guaranteed Hit]!

The Chinese True Dragon also falls under the concept of [Dragon], and although Athena didn’t know if the [Dragon’s Son] possessed the Dragon Attribute, she still attached a layer of Concept Weapon to test its effect.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao’s brow glimmered with a mysterious light, his gaze fixed on the spear tip’s twisted, wriggling law patterns, sensing the dangerous conceptual restraint within.

I can’t dodge... seems like there’s some threat from the other one too...

In an instant, thoughts flowed, and Zhu Haomiao’s mind cleared, smiling fiercely in realization.

Since there’s no escaping, then don’t!

Fight it out!

Boom!

Dazzling blood-red flames erupted like a volcano. Walking the edge of rationality, Zhu Haomiao simultaneously activated the power of Original Sin, infusing the power of the Eight Basic Forces into the sword hilt.

[Raging Wave], [Soul Devouring], [Mountain Shattering], [Thunderbolt], [Absolute Shadow], [Shattered Moon]...

Eight Forces Combined!

The black, semi-transparent crystalline sword gang visible to the naked eye spread from the hilt to the sword body, the terrifying energy within stimulating the sword’s edge into high-frequency vibrations, creating a shrill, harsh sword hum.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Swoosh~

The black-clad youth vanished from sight, and without turning her head, Athena lifted her shield, protecting her side.

But the enemy, who had just flickered next to her, disappeared again, reappearing ghost-like on the other side, the demon sword in his hand slashing towards her neck with a piercing howl.

Whoosh~

The prepared golden spear thrust directly at the enemy’s heart, intending to force him to retract his sword and defend.

However, facing the threat aimed at his chest, Zhu Haomiao didn’t dodge. Instead, he curved his lips into a ferocious arc, using all his strength to slash at Athena’s snow-white swan neck.

"Die!"

Never expecting Zhu Haomiao to be so frenzied and violent, aiming for a mutual destruction technique right at the start, Athena’s Divine Thought raced, retracting the spear already embedded in his chest to parry.

Clang!

The deflected dark demon sword grazed past her neck, slashing diagonally across her chest and abdomen, cutting through her serpent armor like butter and leaving behind a deep, bone-exposing sword scar.

In the next moment, Athena smashed her shield fiercely, while Zhu Haomiao’s fist shot forward like a dragon, its fist peak clashing with the shield’s surface, exploding with dark golden arcs.

Boom!

Unlike the highly condensed energy on weapons, the collision of blunt instruments released a portion of the scattering power as shockwaves, expanding into a spherical milky white ripple centered on the impact point.

Swoosh~

Separated by the shockwave, both backed away. Zhu Haomiao staggered a couple of steps, uncontrollably coughing, expelling clotted dark blood from his lungs.

Looking at the ghastly hole in his chest, a faint gold particle adhered to the wound, resembling liquid high-temperature metal, steaming out fine black smoke.

The high-level foreign divinity invading his body was difficult to expel. Feeling the relentless and intense piercing pain, Zhu Haomiao couldn’t help but show a twisted and morbid smile on his face.

[Jealousy] steals Source Quality, [Body] +30

Raising his eyes, looking at Athena half-kneeling on the ground opposite him, Zhu Haomiao used his sword to support himself, arduously rising to his feet.
