Chapter 848: Silver-Haired Rampage

The Rockman's massive body began to rapidly reconfigure itself. After all, every muscle in his body was composed of rock, and these rocks seemed to possess life, obeying his command.

In a very short time, he reformed into a figure only about three meters tall, no longer the towering giant of over ten meters he had been moments before.

While his physical form became smaller, his mobility was greatly enhanced. Although his physical strength was weakened, this was not the most critical factor. Undoubtedly, after this transformation, the Rockman's individual combat power far surpassed that of Elder Tan.

Furthermore, he no longer had any exploitable weaknesses that Elder Tan could capitalize on.

"You persistent nuisance," the Rockman sneered. "I'd like to see what else you can do. Don't you like sticking to me? Now I'll make sure you stick properly!"

After reducing his physical form, the Rockman indeed became much more agile. Suddenly, he made a grabbing motion with his palm, and a powerful suction force locked onto Elder Tan, literally pulling his body into the Rockman's palm.

The Rockman held Elder Tan suspended in mid-air, mockingly staring at him with incredibly cold eyes.

Elder Tan, however, sneered and suddenly shot two silver needles directly at the Rockman's pupils.

Astonishingly, these two silver needles shot out from Elder Tan's mouth. Their speed and the suddenness of the attack left the Rockman completely defenseless.

In an instant, both of his spherical pupils were completely pierced by the two silver needles.

The Rockman let out a hysterical shriek of pain, but it was all in vain. He had completely lost his vision; his eyeballs instantly shattered by Elder Tan's sneak attack.

"Did you think I was clinging to you just because I feared your strength? You are truly naive. To say you're foolish is an understatement. The reason I approached you in such an undignified manner was to discover the true weakness in your rock-hard body!"

"I've researched weapons and equipment for many years and deeply understand one principle: every power, magical artifact, or combat technique in this world has a counteracting force. There is no absolutely perfect legacy. Although you are nearly invincible in terms of strength, you must also have a most vulnerable spot, and that fatal weakness is your eyes!"

Elder Tan finally revealed his true cunning. He was not afraid of the opponent's terrifying power at all; his previous eccentric behavior was merely to find the Rockman's true weak point.

Now, having achieved his goal, the powerful aura he possessed fully erupted, his movement speed reached its peak, and both his hands clamped tightly onto the Rockman's steel-like arms.

"Every part of you is a treasure, fellow!" Elder Tan declared. "If your body were made into a set of armor, it would certainly be very practical!"

Elder Tan's voice was filled with a chilling coldness; gone was the erratic fighting style from moments before. He unleashed incredibly sharp techniques with both hands, using his special daggers, and in a flash, he dismembered the steel-hard Rockman into pieces, leaving only his head with his soul remaining.

"Special Envoy Yun, you've been with our Sacred Fire Sect for so long, and we haven't prepared any gifts for you," Elder Tan said. "Look at this fellow's head—wouldn't it be comfortable as a footrest for you?"

As Elder Tan finished speaking, he brought down a powerful kick, precisely aimed at the Rockman's now detached, rocky head.

He was clearly treating the hardened head like a ball, kicking it around!

Soon, the Rockman's head was kicked by Elder Tan directly into Yun Yixuan's palm.

Yun Yixuan, a being of immense power, with a single grip on the head, instantly shattered the soul within.

The Rockman's cubic, crimson rock form no longer emitted any vital fluctuations. Thus, the Rockman was completely vanquished through the extremely unique collaboration between Elder Tan and Yun Yixuan. Yun Yixuan was quite pleased with this trophy and placed it directly beneath his feet.

In the other separate battlefields, upon realizing that their companion, the Rockman, had been utterly defeated by Elder Tan and was now being used as a footrest by Yun Yixuan below, the top powerhouses in those areas exploded with extreme rage!

They each let out hysterical roars, fully unleashing the fury in their hearts and directing it at their respective opponents.

"How dare you kill one of our Thirteen Protectors! You ants will all perish here today! Take this!"

The silver-haired girl facing Immortal Lang seemed to be the only one unconcerned about the Rockman's fate. She continued to stare at Immortal Lang with icy eyes, exchanging blows with him without pause.

Immortal Lang seemed even more intrigued by the ice-cold woman before him and couldn't help but ask, "Your companion was just slain by mine, and you show no reaction at all?"

The silver-haired girl sneered, "His death merely proves he wasn't strong enough. He was destined to become a fallen soul at an enemy's hands. I, however, am different. My great saber only blossoms before truly powerful opponents. Every drop of blood on it is an honor to me. Today, I will make you understand that you do not trifle with a woman who wields a blade!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the great blade in the silver-haired woman's hand instantly erupted with an incredibly dazzling deep green light. The blade's very essence expanded to a massive three zhang, and the aura it released exerted a suffocating pressure on those nearby.

In that instant, the silver-haired girl, through unknown means, suddenly vanished from her spot, only to reappear behind Immortal Lang in an almost ethereal manner.

Her feet suddenly stomped, sending forth a silent, emerald green surge that completely locked onto Immortal Lang's body. Immediately after, the massive saber in her hand slammed down heavily onto Immortal Lang.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dazzling flurry of chaotic slashes rained down, catching Immortal Lang completely off guard.

In that short time, he had no power to parry or counterattack. His only way to respond was to raise his magical artifact in front of him and forcefully withstand the entire set of blade techniques.

After the silver-haired woman completed her assault, Immortal Lang's weapon was shattered to pieces, and even his armor was split apart, leaving him looking utterly disheveled.

"Chaos Blade, Demon Slayer!"
