Chapter 45: The Ultimate Showdown

  Everyone, please cast your votes!

  Both of them were the kind of people who were decisive and ruthless, staring intently at each other's every move.

  "Strike first and gain the upper hand; strike later and suffer the consequences. With six drops of essence gathered, I can now attempt to unleash the Nine Consecutive Shots."

  Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and then he drew his bowstring like a full moon. In an instant, nine long arrows were shot onto the string.

  This nine-son linked ring is a medium-grade martial skill, and its grade is not high. However, when combined with the previous month's falling bow, it is seamless and just right. After Yang condensed the sixth drop of essence blood, his power greatly increased, and he already had the ability to perform the nine-son continuous shooting.

  "Whoosh"

  Nine long arrows flew out instantly, once the nine consecutive shots were perfected to a full cycle of nine consecutive shots, their power would be greatly enhanced. Nine is the ultimate number, and there will always be some changes. These nine long arrows emitted a sharp whistling sound, and the power had already reached the peak of six drops of essence blood. As Yang Yi's own strength grew stronger and stronger, the power that the Moonfall Bow could add also became less and less.

  Bai Yi stretched out his pale hand and also displayed his martial skills, shouting loudly: "Thousandfold Hand, Break!"

  The palms flying all over the sky, the heavy phantoms, covered the whole sky, it's simply impossible to distinguish between true and false.

  When the nine long arrows were about to fly in front of Bai Yi, they suddenly turned a strange curve, arrow after arrow, forming a straight line. This is the terror of Jiuzi Lianhuan, with endless power.

  "Nine-linked rings? I didn't expect anyone to master this mediocre martial skill to its peak, but it's still no match for me. Thousand-layered fist, shatter!"

  Bai Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he didn't care about the Nine-Linked Rings at all. He stretched out his hand and grabbed forward, his hand was like the hardest fine steel, unstoppable, and in an instant, the nine long arrows were shattered into powder.

  The power of the seven drops of essence blood, once unleashed, is simply terrifyingly abnormal. Even if we only talk about pure strength, the power that Bai Yi burst forth with was already vaguely close to that of Jin Wuyan's.

  To know, generally, a master of the fifth stage of Blood Coagulation has only eight drops of essence blood. When advancing from the fourth to the fifth stage, the amount of essence blood in one's body must double at once - four drops become eight, five drops become ten, and so on. Therefore, a general master of the fifth stage of Blood Coagulation usually has only eight drops of essence blood. Bai Yi reached the peak of seven drops of essence blood, already infinitely close to the power of the fifth stage of Blood Coagulation.

  Yang Yi's figure didn't stop, as the nine long arrows were all destroyed, his figure flashed and instantly dodged to Bai Yi's front, both hands instantly flew out with countless drops of fresh blood, probably more than twenty drops.

  This was Yang Yi's most bloody use of blood, showing his importance to Bai Yi.

  "Hum"

  Twenty or so drops of essence blood instantly burned in the air, transforming into a special and mysterious power.

  "Release!"

  Twenty drops of fresh blood burst out in a terrifying binding technique, but Bai Yi's reaction was even faster. His eyes condensed slightly, and his entire body quickly retreated backwards, with his surroundings being bound tightly. The seven drops of essence in his body suddenly turned, and his heart beat strongly, almost escaping the bindings in one-thousandth of a second.

  But in this one-thousandth of a second, Yang Yi had already deployed the Nine Palaces Illusion, and in an instant four illusions charged towards Bai Yi.

  Bai Yi's face flashed a cold smile, and he immediately stretched out his hand. In an instant, his hand turned blood red, eerie beyond measure.

  "Do you have a trick and I don't?"

  Ten drops of fresh blood flew out from Bai Yi's hand in an instant, and instantly burned in the void. Yang Yi was shocked, he was using a spell, naturally knowing the mystery of this spell, his figure suddenly stiffened.

  "Tempestas, destructio!"

  With Bai Yi's loud shout, a strong gust of wind suddenly burst out around Yang Yi, several meters high, and the sand and stones were blown away, making it impossible to see clearly.

  This was just an intermediate technique, although the power was not great, it caused a hindrance to Yang Yi and also lost the opportunity for Yang Yi to take advantage of the victory and kill Bai Yi in one fell swoop.

  The storm will soon disappear, this is just an intermediate technique. If it were those advanced or even semi-immortal ones, once they are deployed, the entire sky would be endless storms, like the wrath of heaven.

  Bai Yi's body was as swift as a ghost, and in an instant he had dodged to the front of Yang Yi. In this brief moment, Bai Yi used three different martial techniques, changing and transforming unpredictably, making it impossible for anyone to defend against him.

  Bai Yi is the son of the master of the Skyscraper Cave, with unknown numbers of martial arts skills and numerous tactics. Even Yang Yi has now fallen into a disadvantage, as the saying goes: one step back, every step back.

  However, Yang Yi did not dodge, but instead swung his fists, with a faint blue glow flashing on them, seeking to collide with Bai Yi. On his hands was a pair of terrifying poison gloves, and anyone below the fifth rank would be unable to withstand the blood coagulation, and touching it would mean instant death.

  "Huh? Toxic? No wonder Floating Shadow died so quickly."

  Bai Yi observed the subtleties, and amazingly, he saw the highly toxic poison on Yang's hand at a glance. He is indeed a talented person who can plunder people's essence and blood to cultivate himself. I don't know how many people he has killed, with experiences of life and death that are incredibly rich, absolutely unmatched by others.

  Bang

  Bai Yi had discovered the poison on Yang Yi's hand, so he naturally wouldn't fall for it. His hands instantly switched to several different martial arts techniques and in an instant landed on Yang Yi's body.

  Yang's body shook violently, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face turned deathly pale. The power of the seven drops of essence could shatter gold and jade, inspiring boundless terror.

  "Alright, alright, you're the first person who hasn't been poisoned to know that I have poison on my hand." Yang Yi stared at Bai Yi intently, and had to say that Bai Yi was the most cautious, meticulous, and terrifying cultivator he had met so far, even surpassing Jin Wuxie.

  "You have no other means? Then you will die!" Bai Yi's words were still as cold as ice.

  "If I had cultivated the Floating Light Flash, combined with the ghostly movements of the Floating Light Flash and the powerful Nine Palaces Illusion, I would even be able to withstand the Condensed Blood Fivefold, but unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to cultivate it yet."

  Yang Yi secretly thought that his many methods were useless against Bai Yi, even the poisonous gloves hidden on his hands couldn't deal with him.

  Those masters of disguise outside have such sharp eyes, and someone has already laughed: "This mysterious Yang's method is not bad, that ghostly martial arts, it's probably also a high-level martial arts. That technique should be the binding technique of the hundred schools, plus those hidden poisonous hand guards, it's simply unbeatable. No wonder so many people have died at his hands, unfortunately, he met Bai Yi, this Bai Yi has grown up in killing since childhood, his mind is so agile, and his strength is above Yang's, this time Yang is probably doomed."

  Many transformation masters also nodded in agreement, they all looked more optimistic about Bai Yi.
