Chapter Twelve: The Final Exhaustion

  "Older brother, second older brother, third older brother!!!"

  Xing Tian had just broken through the joint formation of the three Mei brothers, and hadn't even had time to truly harm the Mei brothers, when from far away, another loud shout rang out.

  The orange glow in Ye Lin's eyes burst forth, gazing into the distance. Her brow furrowed, and she spoke softly: "The situation I least wanted to see has still occurred."

  "What's going on?"

  Ye Fan's face was still somewhat pale, and upon seeing Ye Lin's gaze, he knew that something had changed.

  "Here comes another five-element cultivator of the Refining Qi period, one of whom is Mei Laosi, whose arm I cut off."

  "These damn things, this is a war of attrition, dragging us to death!"

  Even if Ye Fan's cultivation was good, he was also scolding loudly at this time.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Lin let out a bitter laugh and said: "As long as our strength is powerful enough, we can eliminate them in one move."

  Huh?

  Ye Fan looked at Ye Lin with some speechlessness, what kind of time was this, and yet he could still make such a joke!!

  It's just Murong Bai, and there are some things that can't be said.

  "Fourth brother, come quickly! The four of us brothers will join forces and kill this little brat!!"

  Hearing his fourth brother's cry for help, Mei Lao Da's face lit up with joy and he hastily shouted loudly.

  "Haha, kid, you're done for! The four of us brothers will join forces, and as long as you don't have a Protective True Body, you'll definitely die!"

  "Fine, wait for your death!!"

  Xing Tian turned his head and looked at the one-armed man who was quickly approaching, his fighting spirit undiminished, saying: "Then come on!!"

  As he spoke, he swung his battle-axe and suddenly charged at Mei Lao Si, wanting to take advantage of the fact that they had not yet merged to kill the already half-disabled Mei Lao Si and prevent them from merging.

  "Come on, you bastard, let's have a fair and square fight."

  The three Mei brothers were shocked and angrily shouted one after another.

  "Hmph, if you've got what it takes, let's have a one-on-one fight and see if I won't beat you to the point where your parents won't recognize you!!"

  Xing Tian is good at fighting, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. Everyone says that if the four brothers join forces and don't have a protective talisman, it's certain death. Why would I want to let them unite?

  The overbearing axe energy transformed into a cloud of mist, swirling in circles and dots, like a piece of silk dancing in the air. However, wherever this silk danced, dust and dirt flew everywhere, as if a category 7 or 8 typhoon had made landfall, devouring everything in its path.

  Yunxia quickly surrounded Mei Jia Laosi, who had already lost an arm. Despite Mei Laosi's great strength and the fact that his three brothers were fiercely pursuing him from behind, he was no match for Xing Tian after losing an arm. Mei Laosi was beaten by Xing Tian until he couldn't tell east from west, and if it weren't for his three brothers holding back outside, he would have been finished off by Xing Tian in no time.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  At last, a flash of movement was not enough to evade Xing Tian's pursuit. The board axe transformed into a large iron hammer and heavily smashed onto Mei Laosi's chest, sending the unlucky Mei Laosi flying over three meters away.

  However, it was also because of this that Xing Tian did not have the opportunity to go up and add another axe blow, allowing Mei Laosan to escape with his life.

  However, Xing Tian's axe was not vegetarian. The combined formation of the three brothers could not withstand Xing Tian at all. Now that the three brothers are on their own, they want to fight Xing Tian to the death, and it is true that they are somewhat unqualified.

  "You're asking for trouble!!"

  He missed another chance to kill his opponent, Xing Tian's face turned iron-green, and he became even more frenzied. The heavy board axe, weighing over a thousand catties, was no longer like an axe in his hands, but had transformed into an iron shovel, a wind-and-fire rod, a large iron hammer, and a large iron shield. Although its killing power was slightly weaker, it was incredibly versatile. No matter who was hit, scraped, or touched by the over-a-thousand-catties heavy board axe, they would always end up with a bloody nose and bruised face. Moreover, no matter what kind of attack you launched, under the broad axe surface, it was truly like trying to hold back water.

  Finally, Murong Bai saw the problem and exclaimed in surprise: "How is it that Xing Tian brothers seem to have no powerful axe techniques?"

  Indeed, Ye Fan had also seen the problem and said: "Whether it's stick method, shovel method, or hammer method, shield method, they are all very exquisite. But he is holding a big axe, how can there be no exquisite axe method?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Lin smiled slightly and said: "Xing Tian's cultivation method originated from battle; his battle method naturally requires him to gain insight from the battles themselves."

  Huh?

  Ye Fan and Murong Bai were both stunned for a moment, then they all understood that this was Xing Tian's special cultivation method.

  Finally, under Xing Tian's fierce attack, the three Mei brothers were all knocked out of the battle circle. Fortunately, their physical bodies as Lianqi period cultivators were incredibly strong, far surpassing ordinary fine steel; otherwise, with Xing Tian's treatment, these guys would not have died but would have been severely injured.

  "Big brother, is everything okay?!!"

  "It's okay, we four will join forces!!!"

  "Alright, let's join forces, the four of us!!"

  Plum Lao Si quickly got up and rushed onto the battlefield, releasing his own Blood Cloud to join forces with his brothers, shouting.

  "Come on, let this kid see how fierce our brothers are."

  Plum Blossom Three Brothers, although each of them was injured to varying degrees, still released their own Blood Clouds.

  This time, it was all thanks to Xing Tian that they were all brought out and actually let the four brothers stand in a square formation, formally uniting together.

  Ahh!!!

  The four brothers merged the blood clouds together and arranged them in a certain direction, suddenly, the blood cloud covered the sky, and a blood python of dozens of feet in size emerged from the hundred-foot-large blood cloud.

  "Blood Dragon Appears!!!"

  With a loud shout, the figures of the four Mei brothers disappeared into the bloody clouds, and four three-meter-long blood dragons emerged, each shaking their heads and swinging their tails, full of energy.

  "Kill!!"

  A giant dragon soared into the sky, then dived down, a huge dragon claw slapped down fiercely, revealing its ferocity, and it was indeed quite majestic.

  "Hmph, you're a dragon, but you still have to kneel down for me."

  The name of the war god is not called in vain. If it were someone else, even if they had a stronger strength than Xing Tian, facing Long, an existence that was revered by all ethnic groups since ancient times, their momentum would be weaker from the start. But Xing Tian was different, and when he was stimulated by Long's power, his momentum became even more vigorous.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  Xing Tian let out a loud shout, raised his giant axe high, and charged at Long Nü's claws.

  This is Xing Tian's bitter experience of fighting, a single axe method that he has honed by himself, which he named 'Wind Cutting', meaning that under this axe, even the existence of wind will be cut down by him.

  Bang!!

  It's indeed a tyrannical axe technique, worthy of being honed from battle. With one loud crash, the entire giant dragon was cleaved in two by his single axe strike.

  However, in this sea of blood clouds, as long as the blood clouds do not disperse, the Mei brothers will be indestructible. Otherwise, the three Mei brothers would have been injured by Xing Tian's axe just now, but they didn't even suffer a scratch, because although Xing Tian broke through their formation, he still hasn't destroyed their sea of blood clouds.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

  Another three loud crashes, the four dragons under Xing Tian's axe were completely useless. If not for the Blood Cloud being mysterious enough, I'm afraid the current Mei family's four brothers would have already become four dead men.

  "Blood Python Bind!!"

  Mei Laoda's voice rose again from the Blood Cloud, and in an instant, the four giant blood dragons seemed to have gained spiritual intelligence, swimming around Xing Tian. Before Xing Tian could even understand what was happening, the giant blood dragons gradually merged into one, turning into a blood python that tightly bound him, rendering him completely immobile.

  "Charge, kill!!!"

  Bound by the Blood Python, Xing Tian's aura of a world-ending war god burst forth, his battle intent not diminishing in the slightest. On the contrary, being impacted by such ferocious energy, Xing Tian's battle intent grew even more vigorous, causing him to let out loud roars amidst it all.

  However, the formation of the four-man team was not something that three people could match, even if Xing Tian had infinite strength and a fierce will to fight, he would still find it difficult to break through the Blood Python formed by this binding technique.

  What's more important is that this Blood Python seems to have gained a physical form, and the 'Wind Slashing' type of void slaying technique has little effect on it.

  Yelin, who was watching from the sidelines, narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Xing Tian has met his nemesis."

  Xingtian's axe technique was still 180,000 miles away from perfection. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fighting the Mei brothers for so long without being able to severely injure them. It was because his axe technique hadn't reached its peak yet. And this Blood Python had already gained a physical form, naturally, Xingtian's axe technique became somewhat less useful.

  "Kid, it's time for you to make your move."

  Ye Lin, who was watching the battle, clenched his fists, and the aura around him grew even more vigorous. At this moment, he seemed like a monster that devoured yang energy, and the area around him was almost as dark as night. This situation had already caught the attention of the Purple Gold Dragon God.

  "Yes."

  "I advise you not to make a move, if Jian Tian can break through this formation, it will be greatly beneficial for him, and may even allow his axe technique to break through and no longer be limited to only cutting air."

  Got Ye Lin's affirmative answer, but Zi Jin Long Shen disagreed.

  "Can't Xing Tian really break through this formation?"

  Ye Lin asked with some discontent in her heart.

  The voice of the Purple Golden Dragon God was still as calm as ever, saying: "Haven't you figured it out yet? The so-called 'using softness to overcome hardness', if it's a hard collision, even if the four brothers join forces, Xing Tian has the intention to fight in his hand, and can guarantee that he won't be defeated. However, the formation of the Mei family's four brothers is exactly the path of yin-yang, and this yin-yang path also carries a part of yang-gang. It's precisely because of this yang-gang that the Blood Python has gained substance, and is no longer just an energy-based virtual form."

  Listening to Zijin Longshen's words, Ye Lin fell into deep thought once again, however, he also didn't make another move.

  As expected, just like the words of Zi Jinlong Shen, Xing Tian was impacted by the blood python's ferocious and evil aura in this predicament, his will to fight burning more and more fiercely, causing his entire body to ignite with a layer of bronze-colored flames.

  "Ahh!! Break the mountain!!!"

  A bronze giant axe burst out of Xing Tian's body, swiftly breaking through the Blood Python's seal and transforming into a Heaven-Cleaving Blade that fiercely chopped down from mid-air.

  BOOM!!!!!!!

  The entire land cracked open a ten-zhang large rift under this axe, and the four brothers of the Mei family, who had transformed into the Blood Python, were reduced to nothing but ashes under this axe.

  However, correspondingly, Xing Tian also emerged from the shape of his war intent in his chest and finally fell to the ground exhausted.
