Chapter 1548 - Hand of the Holy Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was Rong Xiu!

Under the night sky, the winds howled as dark clouds gathered.

He, who was decked in snow-white clothes, had a few wounds opened with messy bloodstains. However, his surrounding shocking aura caused one’s heart to tremble!

When he flew to mid-air, the crowd then saw that he was still carrying a woman in his arms!

Other than Shangguan Yue—who had first flown over—who could it be? But she was lying in Rong Xiu’s embrace at this moment, and her head was tilted slightly, so the crowd couldn’t see her appearance.

From afar, one could only see her hair drooping down.

“It’s Rong Xiu and Yue’er Girlie!” Elder Bo Yan and the rest were elated.

Even though they are injured, it seems like they aren’t in fatal danger. I really don’t know how they survived under the attack of the Heaven-Locking Formation during the past month…

These thoughts just flashed across their mind and didn’t stay for long. As long as they were alive, nothing else mattered!

Shangguan Jing was worried for a whole month. Now that he saw the two of them… Although his uneasy heart didn’t completely relax, he still felt much more at ease.

Luckily… Luckily! I don’t dare to think what would happen if something happened to Yue’er—

Shangguan Jing restrained the urge to rush forward and waited patiently.?As long as everything goes smoothly following this, the two of them can come back safely!?

…

Rong Xiu hugged Chu Liuyue tightly in his arms.

At this point, the Heaven-Locking Formation—which hadn’t completely recovered—was below their feet. Above their heads was the Jingshou formation that had just descended.

The two Xuan formations overlapped and intersected. The distance in the middle was still continuously shrinking.

They had to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible!

Upon seeing the duo’s current state, Nan Suhuai couldn’t help furrowing his brows tightly. He could tell that the two of them had suffered quite a bit in the fountain during this period of time.

However, it was lucky that they had already escaped from within. As long as they rapidly struggled free from the constraints of the Xuan formations, they could escape!

A silver line suddenly floated over. It contained a faint coldness that pricked one’s bones.

Faintly, it glowed with blood.

Rong Xiu’s eyes became sharp.

Rumble!

He raised his wrist, and a ball of fire began to burn!

Zz zz!

A prickling sound of burning was heard.

That item quickly disappeared in front of Rong Xiu’s figure!

Rong Xiu’s feet moved, and he was about to leave. But at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the Heaven-Locking Formation beneath their feet.

Ka!?

Rong Xiu instinctively looked down, and coldness flashed across his eyes.

The Heaven-Locking Formation actually stopped moving! It was suddenly silent in the earth and sky.

Everyone felt that something was amiss, and their hearts turned cold.

Even Nan Suhuai’s expression changed slightly. The next moment, he hollered without thinking, “Quick!”

Rong Xiu went on his toes and forcefully tore space! But just when the air vibrated and the space gap was about to appear, Million Wine Mountain suddenly erupted!

Thump!

A gigantic black hand suddenly emerged from the fountain!

That hand was really strange and abnormally large, yet the joints were very distinct. One could still see the slightly protruding red blood vessels on the back of the palm. There were even long nails on the fingertips.

At first glance, it really looked extremely similar to a real hand and appeared not to be an illusion!

After that hand appeared, it directly grabbed the Heaven-Locking Formation and harshly pulled it!

Boom!?

With the loud sound, the Heaven-Locking Formation actually seemed to be affected by the force of this extremely strange hand as it started spinning again at a shocking speed! But at this point, its middle area had already started to dissolve, so the shocking force encompassed in it gradually exploded!

The next moment, that hand directly grabbed at Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue!

Rong Xiu carried her and rapidly dodged!

That hand grabbed the air, but the next moment, it swiftly went for the Jingshou formation!

The same situation happened again. In front of that hand, the Xuan formation seemed to be made of paper and was extremely fragile!

Everyone was taken aback!

Ever since something happened to Million Wine Mountain, they had once thought of countless possibilities. However, the only thing they didn’t expect was that the thing being suppressed was actually a hand!

But what was even more unexpected was that the hand was actually so strong!

Not to mention the Jingshou formation… The Heaven-Locking Formation’s level was higher, and it required the cooperation of all the academy elders to activate it, but at this moment, it was so easily destroyed by that hand!

“What’s… that?” Elder Bo Yan was stunned.

They were considered rather experienced, but they still couldn’t conceal their shock at this moment!

Shangguan Jing stared at that hand tightly. He didn’t know what exactly was going on and what kind of secrets and grudges were buried beneath Million Wine Mountain. However, he could tell that this hand… clearly came from some cultivator’s Holy Body!

Holy Bodies had a special aura, and he wouldn’t be mistaken!

This wasn’t the most shocking thing. That was because… there didn’t seem to be a complete Holy Body below this hand! In other words, there was only this one hand suppressed underneath Million Wine Mountain!

As if to confirm his thoughts, that hand suddenly rushed out of Million Wine Mountain!

They said it was Million Wine Mountain, but it was actually a pile of debris at this moment.

That was indeed a hand with a forearm. It looked as if it were directly cut from someone’s arm area.

At the wound area, one could even see the mark of a sharp knife slashing right through it! But even the blood, muscles, and meat inside this arm were totally black.

“It’s indeed a Holy Body!” Shangguan Jing gasped.

In the world, almost all the cultivators could only have one Holy Body in their life. The Holy Body could leave the physical body, but it couldn’t exist on its own.

Back then, he buried his Holy Body in the tomb. His physical body was damaged, but his soul was still around, so he could reawaken a thousand years later.

However, he had never heard that an arm cut off from someone’s Holy Body would have such terrifying force!

After destroying the two huge Xuan formations, that hand rushed toward Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue!

That hand was huge, big enough to crush the two people forcefully!

The harsh, cold air kept approaching.

Rong Xiu turned around and saw that the hand was very close to him! A blood-colored totem faintly appeared in his palm!

A tremendous aura came over!
