Chapter 265 Desperate Counterattack

Whenever Kuang Zheng and the other two were rapidly depleting their spiritual energy, they relied on taking Spirit Nourishing Pills to quickly replenish it.

However, as their cultivation levels continued to rise, the Spirit Nourishing Pill became less and less effective.

Because the energy that can be compressed in the Spirit Gathering Pill is very limited, it is only a pill that can barely reach the first grade.

Strictly speaking, it can't even be considered a panacea.

Since Kuang Zheng successfully broke through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the effects of the Spirit Nourishing Pill have become extremely limited.

Although it can replenish a certain amount of spiritual energy for him, compared to his current rate of consumption, this replenishment is simply a drop in the ocean, better than nothing.

It wasn't that the effects of the Spirit Nourishing Pill had weakened, but rather that as their cultivation level increased, their demand for spiritual energy increased exponentially, and ordinary Spirit Nourishing Pills could no longer meet their needs.

At this moment, Kuang Zheng urgently needs a higher-grade and more potent elixir to replenish his energy reserves.

However, the Spirit Nourishing Pill was already their limit in alchemy. It wasn't that they lacked the skill, but rather that they had absolutely no relevant refining methods.

As the saying goes, "Even a clever cook can't cook without rice." Without the method of refining, even the most powerful skills are useless.

With no other choice, the Spirit Nourishing Pill became the only option available at the moment, and we had to make do with it.

In this way, Kuang Zheng seemed to have returned to that initial period of lack of inspiration.

However, the situation with Chishen is quite the opposite.

Thanks to the powerful support of the Xuanyuan Formation, the energy contained within his body was almost inexhaustible. It was precisely because of this that he had the capital to be so unscrupulous and fearless.

If we cannot successfully break through the current predicament, then the only outcome awaiting us will be certain death.

Currently, the most ideal solution is to completely destroy this powerful formation.

Even Ying Yue, the recognized master of formations among the three, felt powerless when faced with the Xuanyuan Formation.

For someone like Kuang Zheng, who has never studied formations in depth, attempting to break such a complex and ingenious formation is simply a pipe dream.

The next best option is to defeat Chi Shen directly, since as long as he can be defeated, this great formation will naturally collapse.

Unfortunately, he can't even catch a glimpse of Chi Shen now, let alone defeat him.

This put Kuang Zheng in immediate danger, and if he couldn't break the deadlock in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing Kuang Zheng seriously injured and coughing up blood, Chi Shen felt a surge of pleasure, and his eyes revealed a cold, bloodthirsty light.

So they immediately increased the intensity of their attack.

Kuang was completely powerless to fight back against the elusive, ghostly attacks.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Kuang Zheng's front was completely soaked with blood, like a blooming blood-red flower on his chest.

His body was covered with countless scars, crisscrossing and terrifying.

From a distance, he looked like a blood-soaked figure crawling out of a pool of blood, exuding a chilling aura.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhu Xian and the other two couldn't hide their joy.

Especially Chi Shen, whose eyes flashed with an undisguised ruthlessness.

Just then, Chi Shen suddenly shouted, "Thunder, lightning!"

In an instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, streaked across the sky, carrying a devastating force that struck straight at Kuang Zheng with overwhelming power.

The sudden lightning bolt, like a raging dragon, roared and charged towards Kuang Zheng, catching him completely off guard.

With a deafening roar, the immense impact sent Kuang Zheng flying like a cannonball.

"Pfft~!"

While still in mid-air, Kuang Zheng shuddered and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

The crimson blood shot out like an arrow released from a bow, drawing a shocking and dazzling parabola in the air.

The parabola shimmered with an eerie red light under the sunlight; it was beautiful, but it also conveyed an endless sense of desolation and sorrow.

This single blow dealt a heavy blow to Kuang Zheng, leaving him severely injured.

However, Chi Shen did not give up.

Seeing that Kuang Zheng was seriously injured, he did not hesitate to launch an even more intense Five Elements combined attack.

In an instant, all sorts of dazzling magical lights intertwined, forming an impenetrable attack net that swept towards Kuang Zheng.

Under such a dense and fierce attack, Kuang Zheng's body trembled continuously, and new wounds bloomed on his body one after another, with blood splattering everywhere, a gruesome sight.

At this moment, he had no time to care about anything else, because the terrifying lightning was gradually gathering and taking shape above his head.

Dazzling bolts of lightning danced in the air like silver snakes, seemingly poised to strike at any moment.

If he doesn't quickly come up with a way to break out of this predicament, he will undoubtedly be exhausted to death by this terrifying lightning.

Although his wounds were still bleeding profusely, staining the ground beneath his feet red, he gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, refusing to collapse.

Seeing Kuang Zheng in such a miserable and disheveled state, Zhu Xian finally revealed a joyful smile of revenge.

However, this smug scene happened to fall into Kuang Zheng's eyes.

Looking at Zhu Xian, who had a smug look on his face, Kuang Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

In the blink of an eye, at that very moment, the lightning in the sky had completed its final build-up, becoming even more violent and ferocious.

Upon seeing this scene, Chi Shen's murderous intent surged forth like a tidal wave.

He opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar: "Thunder! Lightning!"

With his roar, the entire space seemed to tremble.

Almost at the same time, Kuang Zheng suddenly closed his eyes tightly.

At this moment, he continuously concentrated his mental power. When the concentration of mental power reached its peak, an invisible and intangible force suddenly burst out from his body and attacked Chi Shen with lightning speed.

Kuang Zheng's sudden and extremely bizarre action instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Everyone looked at each other, bewildered and at a loss for what to do about what was happening before their eyes.

Just as everyone was racking their brains to figure out what was going on, an astonishing scene unfolded—Chi Shen, who had been arrogant and domineering and held an absolute advantage, suddenly covered his head tightly with both hands, let out a series of shrill screams, and then collapsed to the ground in pain as if he had lost his support.

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

Chi Shen rolled around on the ground, the extreme pain contorting his body into a ball.

This sudden scene startled the three people standing nearby, including the Crimson Shadow, into a panic.

They couldn't understand why their master, who had clearly gained the upper hand, would suddenly collapse to the ground.

Not only did all the attacks stop, but their master also showed extreme pain on his face.

This unexpected turn of events caught them completely off guard, leaving them standing there, bewildered and unsure of what to do.

Fortunately, Chi Shen finally regained his senses briefly amidst the extreme pain. Enduring indescribable agony, he roared hoarsely at Lei Mang and the other two, "Kill him! Kill him right now!"
