Chapter 223 Battle of Life and Death

However, only Kuang Zheng himself knew just how perilous his current situation was!

The three men's perfectly coordinated attack plunged him into an unprecedented predicament.

Zhu Xian's fierce offensive was the last straw that broke the camel's back, making him truly feel the call of death.

At this critical moment, Kuangzheng had no other choice.

After a fierce struggle, he finally decided to use the unknown "Devouring God Technique".

Recalling his near-death experience last time, Kuang Zheng still feels lingering fear.

He barely survived that ordeal by sheer luck.

Afterwards, he secretly vowed in his heart: he would never use this mysterious technique again before he had a complete grasp of it!

Because it is so difficult to control, and it contains too many variables.

By sheer chance, the "Devouring God Technique" was activated by accident.

It was precisely because of this miraculous technique that he was able to turn the tide in a seemingly hopeless situation during his battle with Zhu Zhu.

Even so, once the crisis was over, Kuang Zheng did not hesitate to immediately put the "Devouring God Technique" away.

The sudden influx of a large amount of external energy into the body is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could lead to utter destruction.

Although they managed to get through it by sheer luck, their cultivation level also improved significantly.

But there were too many variables in the process, and every moment was a thrilling close-quarters battle with death.

The slightest mistake, even the most insignificant error, will inevitably lead him into an endless abyss of darkness from which there is no return.

It was incredibly lucky that I was able to wake up back then; I never want to go through that experience again in my life.

From that moment on, he silently made a vow in his heart: he would never use the Devouring God Technique again in his life until he had completely mastered it!

However, "man proposes, God disposes," and who could have predicted that fate would play such a cruel trick on him.

The encirclement by the three lords plunged him into an unprecedented crisis, and Zhu Xian's fierce offensive cut off all his escape routes.

Backed into a corner, Kuang Zheng finally hardened his heart and unhesitatingly unleashed the "Devouring God Technique," which he had sworn never to use again.

Even if he dies, he'll make sure someone else dies with him.

So, at the very moment Zhu Xian launched his attack, Kuang Zheng steeled his heart and began to fully activate the Devouring God Technique.

The reason they withdrew their resistance and even restrained their spiritual energy was actually to activate the "Devouring God Technique".

To outsiders, it appeared that he was terrified by Zhu Xian's incredibly powerful attack, to the point that he nervously attempted to catch the attack with his bare hands.

As the technique was fully activated, Kuang Zheng was instantly immersed in an extremely strange state.

He felt as if he had transformed into a boundless, enormous vortex, his entire mind occupied by an intense desire, a desire as fiery and uncontrollable as a raging fire—a desire to devour, to devour everything in sight, leaving nothing behind.

Chi Ying and Lei Mang looked at Kuang Zheng in front of them and felt a chill run down their spines.

They noticed that Kuang Zheng's current state was extremely strange, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

In fact, all of this was caused by absorbing the energy within Zhu Xian's body.

However, since they knew nothing about the Devouring God Technique, all they could see was that Kuang Zheng's face had a sickly flushed color, but there was nothing else unusual about him.

Seeing Chi Ying and Lei Mang walking towards them, Zhu Xian was overjoyed.

However, to his utter surprise, the two men did not offer their assistance immediately upon their arrival.

Instead, he watched from the sidelines. Seeing this, Zhu Xian felt a tightness in his heart and instantly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the two of them were planning to make him and Kuang Zheng fight to the death, even to the point of mutual destruction?

Thinking of this, Zhu Xian could no longer suppress the panic and anger in her heart.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Quickly! Quickly save me! Our three factions made a solemn oath in ancient times: to be of one heart and mind and to help each other! Anyone who dares to break this oath will be punished with the annihilation of their soul and body! So you absolutely cannot stand by and watch me die! Please, please save me!!"

On the planet Penglai, vows are like an invisible shackle, tightly binding the hearts of everyone.

This immense constraint makes it impossible for anyone to easily violate it.

Because once they break their promises, no matter how powerful they are, they will face great difficulties in this land.

Knowing this well, Zhu Xian did not hesitate to shout out the oath between the three factions that had been buried for countless years.

His purpose was obvious—to make everyone in Noguchi Pass clearly aware of the existence of the oath and the heavy weight it contained.

In this way, they could force Chi Ying and Lei Mang into a corner with nowhere to retreat.

At that time, they will have no choice but to extend a helping hand to themselves.

With their strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to wipe out everyone in Noguchi Pass.

However, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."

There are far too many examples of "walls have ears".

This place may seem to be only inhabited by people from Noguchi Pass, but who can say for sure that there aren't any eyes watching from some unknown corner?

Therefore, any attempt to cover up the truth and keep secrets by ruthless extermination is ultimately nothing more than a vain dream.

But this time, Zhu Xian was judging others by his own petty standards. In fact, from the very beginning, Chi Ying and the others never had the idea of ​​staying out of it.

The reason they haven't taken action yet is because they are observing carefully.

The reason was that Kuangzheng brought them so many unexpected events that the two of them had to act with extreme caution.

I fear that I might accidentally repeat the same mistake as Zhu Xian.

So the two of them restrained themselves and carefully observed everything.

However, the moment Zhu Xian shouted out the oath made between the three sects with all his might, they knew in their hearts that they could no longer delay.

Fortunately, after careful observation, they managed to discern some clues.

In the blink of an eye, Crimson Shadow suddenly shot out his right hand, and a powerful force surged out from his body, continuously gathering in his palm.

The energy was as black as ink, like a bottomless black hole, and in the blink of an eye, it completely stained the palm of his hand black.

Then, the Crimson Shadow roared, "Break!"

With that roar, the black energy in his right palm seemed to suddenly come alive, splitting into two.

With lightning speed, it quickly slipped into the space between Zhu Xian's legs and Kuang Zheng's hands.

The next moment, a soft "hum!" was heard.

Those feet and hands, which had seemed to grow together, suddenly fell apart in an instant.

Just as that terrifyingly powerful devouring force suddenly dissipated without warning, Lei Mang unhesitatingly gathered all his strength into his palms and then slammed them down with overwhelming force.

In an instant, a powerful recoil force erupted from his palm, propelling his body away like a cannonball.

Lei Mang, who had been on high alert, seized the opportunity and slammed his right palm down with overwhelming force on Kuang Zheng, who still had his eyes closed.

The colossal hand, obscuring the sky and accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, hurtled towards them, poised to mercilessly cleave open Kuang Zheng's fragile head.

At this critical moment, an astonishing change suddenly occurred!

Kuang Zheng, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them wide.

What's even more chilling is that a sinister and eerie smile has appeared on his flushed face.

That smile was like a phantom in the night, exuding a chilling aura, as if concealing endless conspiracies and treachery...
