Chapter 88: Analyzing Spear Techniques
Pang Jian stood in the darkness, spear gripped firmly in his hand.
Black murky energy surged through the spear shaft like black lightning, activating the arrays hidden deep within it in an instant.
Pang Jian keenly discerned that the intricate lines on the entire spear shaft acted like extensions of the meridians in his arms!
The fine lines were like insatiable sponges, greedily absorbing the black murky energy he infused into the Startling Slaughter Spear, causing it to glow in the darkness.
As the murky energy passed through the spear shaft, seven regions lit up as complex arrays silently activated.
Even without a single swing, as Pang Jian held the Startling Slaughter Spear, it seemed to fit naturally in his hand.
After being infused with his black murky energy, the silver spear felt like an extension of his body and soul.
The wondrous harmony between the spear and his soul deeply moved Pang Jian. It was a sensation that the Dragonwood Spear could never provide.
The destruction of the Dragonwood Spear no longer filled him with regret or dissatisfaction as Pang Jian now regarded the Startling Slaughter Spear as a key part of his life. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
"Explosive Dance!"
Recalling the spear technique, Pang Jian tried to wield the Startling Slaughter Spear in the darkness. The black murky energy in the spear suddenly flowed into three of the seven arrays on the spear shaft.
These arrays possessed the extraordinary ability to stack and amplify power exponentially. With each array that was activated, one's spiritual power skyrocketed.
Bang!
Moments later, a dark sphere exploded at the spearhead.
The force of the explosion reverberated through the darkness, carrying with it a unique aura of destruction, devastation, and fury, and causing Pang Jian's arm to tingle with a slight numbness.
Pang Jian's eyes lit up.
The combination of the tainted energy of the Fifth World and the Explosive Dance spear technique of the Startling Slaughter Spear created an incredibly powerful attack!
The Explosive Dance is a wide-area attack...
Although he had grown accustomed to the Dragonwood Spear, Pang Jian found himself unusually comfortable with the Startling Slaughter Spear. With a twist of his body, he thrust the long spear into the void.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dark spheres exploded one after another in mid-air, resounding like deafening claps of thunder in the Fifth World.
A sea of frenzied explosive energy materialized in the sky above Pang Jian, created by the successive thrusts of the Startling Slaughter Spear.
This black sea of explosive energy emanated an aura of destruction and corrosion, almost seemingly like a forbidden zone for the living or a desolate realm for spirits.
Pang Jian's heart swelled with tumultuous emotions.
If he had been wielding the Startling Slaughter Spear earlier, he could have easily shattered Dong Tianze's sea of golden dagger light.
Realizing the potential of combining the black murky energy and the Startling Slaughter Spear, Pang Jian excitedly continued his experiments.
He soon discovered that the seven arrays engraved on the spear's body could easily transform into other spear techniques with minor adjustments.
"Silver Crescent!"
Pang Jian swung the Startling Slaughter Spear, forming a massive black halo above his head.
The instant the halo formed, its core abruptly contracted, forcefully drawing a portion of the black murky energy from within him.
Qi Qingsong's face darkened but he stayed silent, offering no response.
He knew deep down that Luo Hongyan's words held some truth.
As a member of the Sword Pavilion, he indeed held significant sway in Eight Trigrams City, and nobody dared to provoke him.
However, in the Sword Pavilion of the Second World, he was nothing more than an ordinary outer disciple often overlooked by others.
Luo Hongyan then glanced at Lin Beiye from the Black Valley Sect and sneered, "A sorry excuse of a man who had his tendons severed, plummeting him to the Marrow Cleansing Realm. He now clings to the hope of healing himself with Crystal Snow Lotus."
Lin Beiye's complexion turned ashen.
"Then there's the oldest among us. Who knows what connections she leveraged to join the Demon Heart Sect? Realizing her mediocre talents, she willingly plays the role of a protector for her junior sister, hoping to ride on the coattails of her success."
Luo Hongyan tutted, shaking her head. Her words dripped with sarcasm. "A bunch of misfits fighting tooth and nail for the treasures in the pool. It's truly laughable."
Luo Hongyan insulted Yuan Lengshan as a "despicable" and "loose" girl but did not label her as a good-for-nothing like the others.
Despite not cultivating for as long as the others, Luo Hongyan could see that Yuan Lengshan's cultivation realm and strength far surpassed that of Qi Qingsong, Lin Beiye, and Lan Xi. This was a testament to her exceptional cultivation talent and unwavering dedication.
She also did not mock or ridicule Dong Tianze. Since Dong Tianze hailed from the Fourth World, his cultivation realm was deemed passable.
Lan Xi from the Demon Heart Sect took a deep breath. Seeing Lin Beiye stop his attacks, she proposed, "Why don't we first take care of this arrogant loudmouth inhabiting someone else's body?"
"Agreed," Lin Beiye concurred.
Qi Qingsong hesitated.
"Hmph." Luo Hongyan flew to the raised platform where Lin Beiye had previously stood. Turning to face Yuan Lengshan, she said. "This is Eight Trigrams City and the City Lord was surnamed Yuan. This despicable girl spun quite a tale for us to hear. It appears she's biding her time, waiting for the mysteries of the City Lord to reveal themselves."
Yuan Lengshan was taken aback. "Who exactly are you?"
Luo Hongyan responded with a cold smile.
Everyone suddenly turned to the wall in shock.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shadowy figures emerged from the green walls of the mansion. Although initially faint and fuzzy, their figures soon became clear and distinct.
Many figures in ancient garb seemed to have stepped out from the depths of history as if transported from a distant place that existed three thousand years ago.
Some of these figures were engaged in lively conversations as if in a bustling market. Their varied expressions and interactions were remarkably lifelike.
The mansion was soon filled with the chatter of voices.
Even Lan Xi found herself bewildered by the scene before her. Yuan Lengshan had not mentioned anything like this to her.
"Junior Sister, who are they?" Lan Xi could not help but ask.
"They're the original inhabitants of Eight Trigrams City. They knew nothing about the blood sacrifice." Yuan Lengshan's face turned cold as she looked at Luo Hongyan. She said quietly, "Before my ancestors from the Yuan family even knew what was happening, they were sentenced to death and wiped out overnight!"
Qi Qingsong and Lin Beiye knitted their brows at Yuan Lengshan's words, evidently finding the circumstances to be a little too cruel.
Li Jie had been observing them and decided to add in a small voice, "That's because they deserved it."
Yuan Lengshan turned toward Li Jie.
Li Jie shrunk back. "I'm not looking for trouble. I'm just a spectator. Besides, I was just speaking the truth."
