Stopping his footsteps, Zong Shou was in deep thought.
Dagu Temple wasn't to be feared, he could wipe it out with a flip of his palm. What was terrifying was how many Daoling Vast Habitat Spirit Realm experts were there? Was Wu Xu planning something here and waiting for him?
There was a saying in the Art of War that the real enemy was fake and the fake enemy was real.
However, it could also be flipped around. The art of war was changing between real and fake depending on one's heart.
Since Wu Xu could become the head of the Vast Habitat, even if he wasn't good at formations, he had to be a wise person.
Zong Shou wouldn't dare to underestimate him.
Although this wasn't a battlefield, it was much more dangerous and cruel than one.
If he made the wrong move and didn't make the right gamble, he would lose everything. Not only would Zong Shou die, but Gantian Mountain would also collapse.
However, why did he have to gamble? Did Wu Xu set things up within Dagu Temple? How many Spirit Realm experts were there? It had nothing to do with him and he didn't need to know.
Scoffing coldly, Zong Shou directly turned around and continued to head east.
4,300 miles of this temple – Xiuyun Sect!
This trip to the Central Continent had only just begun!
An hour later, Xiuyun Mountain peak.
Gongyuan stood on a cloud platform, yawning as he looked at the sky in a listless manner.
This was the Cloud Viewing Platform, 5,000 feet above Xiuyun Mountain peak. It was one of the core formations of Xiuyun Mountain and could allow Grade-4 Spirit Master disciples to look out 3,000 miles.
Within a thousand miles, he could detect all kinds of illusions and ghostly tricks.
Hence, this area was where the Demon Path thrived. For thousands of years, the Taoist and Demon Path sides had fought one another and used all sorts of methods to have such a complete spiritual formation.
Normally, just 10 Grade-4 Mountain Patrolling Disciples would be able to host it.
Today, after 7 AM, it suddenly increased to 50, a full 5 times …
Gongyuan was a Grade-5 Spirit Master and an Inner Sect Disciple of Xiuyun Sect. He originally didn't need to participate in patrolling the mountain, but today he was forcefully dragged over by his Master.
The reason why he was so dispirited was because he went out of body to cultivate his soul.
The damage to his soul from honing his Primordial Spirit had yet to recover. At this moment, what he needed the most was to meditate for several days.
If he had known earlier, he would not have cultivated all night! And that Chief of Mountain Patrol, he was simply using his position to avenge a private grudge! He shouldn't have offended him so badly last time.
Cursing in his heart, Gongyuan did not dare to be careless.
Maintaining the restrictions around him, Gongyuan's gaze focused on the void as he carefully scanned his surroundings.
This array could see three thousand miles, but it could only 'see'.
It didn't mean that the disciple in charge of the formation could see everything within 3,000 miles in their eyes.
While he was concentrating, the voices of the other patrolling disciples entered his ears one after another.
"How weird, since our Xiuyun Sect forced back Demon Sunflower Sect, this is the first time we feel like we are facing a huge enemy …"
"I wonder who my opponent is this time?"
"There's no harm in telling you all about this. It's said that it's that Dong Lin Demon King Zong Shou! Just an hour ago, the Guanling Sect, Wuwei Sect, and the other three sects were annihilated … "
"Zong Shou? I have heard of this person, he is known as the Monster Sword. The top person in the world in the sword path, one against a thousand. However, isn't our Taoist Faction attacking Donglin? How does this Monster King have the time to come to the Central Cloud Continent? "
"Four sects? What a joke, Guanling Sect and Wuwei Sect aren't small sects! "
Gongyuan looked on while listening. His brow furrowed, Monster Kenzō Sect was guarding?
That name was like thunder in his ears. During these few years, its name had spread throughout the Cloud World.
Suddenly, the area in front of him shook. Gongyuan originally thought that it was his imagination and didn't care. However, when he was bored and enlarged the weird movement 50 miles away in front of his eyes. He could vaguely see a person walking towards Xiuyun Mountain.
"Did this person really single-handedly destroy the four sects?"
"Scoff! So what if this person came? Our Xiuyun Sect is not something that Guanling Sect and Wuwei Sect can compare to! The Sect Leader entered the Intermediate Spirit Realm right after he went through his tribulation and formed the Lightning Body … "
These small words entered Gongyuan's ears but he didn't pay attention to them anymore.
When the layers of illusions were broken, the reality dozens of miles away finally appeared in his eyes. Gongyuan only felt his heart tighten.
This person wore a bright yellow golden shirt and a green mirror floated above his head. Behind his back was a pair of 30,000-foot giant lightning wings …
Illusionary Heart Mirror!
With just a thought, Gongyuan knew that the green mirror was definitely the spiritual item that the Sky Fox Race used to shock the Cloud World.
Right away, he activated the spell to warn him. The sound of the bell instantly shook the entire Xiuyun Mountain.
However, at this moment, the teen in the distance didn't bother to hide his tracks anymore.
His black wings swept up the dark clouds and covered the sky. The entire Xiuyun Mountain was filled with the sound of energy exploding.
This was the sound of the Mountain Protecting Spiritual Formation breaking. The majestic sword pressure was something that even this spiritual array couldn't completely isolate!
Gongyuan sat on the ground, unable to stand up at all. He could only go all out to maintain the core of the formation that he was in charge of. He injected all his soul power into it.
In front of him, those disciples who weren't even Grade-6 were all paralyzed on the ground. Below the cloud platform, those who were Grade-3 and below had ashen white faces. It was obvious that they were badly injured.
At this moment, it was like the end of the world had arrived!
Gongyuan's eyes constricted. Just at this moment, several people flew out from the mountain peak. His eyes lit up as he recognized that it was the Sect Leader and the four Grade-9 Elders. They all charged into the air in their soul bodies.
"Preposterous!"
His holler was like thunder, shaking the sky. The entire Spirit Array was activated, and it was sorted out in an instant, stabilizing once again. A giant sword formed above and a purple-robed Taoist in the middle gathered numerous lightning glows around him.
Gongyuan was delighted and recognized that this was the Sect Leader, his Master Zixin's Extreme Purple God Lightning Technique, a Grade-9 Heaven Shocking Lightning Technique.
That giant sword was formed from the energy of millions of Xiuyun Sect disciples injected into the formation – Xiuyun God Slaying Sword!
When it was complete, even God Realm experts could be slain!
However, in the next moment, Gongyuan heard a dragon roar and then a white Sword Light flashed across the sky!
Just one look and he felt that it was extremely sharp. Just like this person, his overbearing and barbaric Sword Intent was unparalleled …
It flashed and disappeared. Gongyuan was slightly startled and the Sword Light had already disappeared in front of his eyes.
Only that sharp 'Zheng' sound was left, still reverberating in the sky.
Gongyuan was slightly stunned. That Sword Light was really sharp but it didn't cause much damage to Xiuyun Sect.
Beneath the Cloud Viewing Platform, all the disciples were perfectly fine. Above, his Master and the four Elders were still standing in mid-air.
No!
Gongyuan thought back to where the Sword Light slashed towards. Then, his expression suddenly changed. He forced himself to stand up and looked down the mountain.
Then, there was a crisp cracking sound. The entire mountain started to shake and then it became more and more intense.
The Spirit Array collapsed, and all of the Talisman Seals shattered into pieces. The giant sword that was condensing above
Gongyuan's face was ashen white and his eyes were filled with shock.
Not only did that sword slash the entire Xiuyun Mountain, but it also broke the foundations of the Mountain Protecting Spiritual Formation!
Above, there was another explosion. It was Zixin. She brought the vast Lightning Snake and charged towards where Zong Shou was.
It clashed with the 30,000-foot Lightning Wings. Snakes of light flashed, and bursts of explosions shook the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the Purple Light fell down like a meteor. What followed was a Sword Wave that covered the sky! Like a violent storm, it fiercely pierced down!
It pierced the half of the Xiuyun Mountain that was sliding down and riddled it with holes.
Master!
Despair flashed in Gongyuan's eyes. In the next moment, Zixin's body appeared beside him. She had a body of flesh which was why she didn't look like she was in a bad state. However, the lifeforce in her eyes was dim.
"Today is the calamity of our Xiuyun Sect! The Vast Habitat can't save us in time. "
"I was too foolish to bring this calamity to the sect …"
As she said this, Zixin reached out and patted Gongyuan's body. The surrounding time was suddenly distorted.
"This Zong Shou's Sword Path is unrivaled under the Celestial Realm! Like he broke through the Heaven Barrier and stepped into the Spirit Realm. No one in the Cloud World can stop him. However, the Vast Habitat will worry about him and it has nothing to do with you. Remember not to offend him and don't take revenge. You are 15, Grade-5, Spirit and Martial Arts Merger. Like Zong Shou, your future is huge. If you have achievements in the future, you can restore our Xiuyun Sect. Remember, the Taoist Faction and even the Daoling Vast Habitat can't be trusted … "
The Sword Light charged, stabbing numerous holes in this half of Xiuyun Mountain. When half of the mountain fell from tens of thousands of feet, under the huge impact, it was directly smashed into pieces.
Dozens of scattered Sword Energy charged over and sliced off Zixin's head.
Gongyuan's eyes turned red. In the next moment, the space in front of him changed. After a moment of dizziness, he was in another place.
It was a desert around, where was the doomsday scene from before?
After being at a loss for a moment, Gongyuan's eyes were filled with rage and grievances.
He hated that the Heavens were blind, hated that Zong Shou was vicious, hated that he didn't notice and hated that Wu Xu for being useless!
At this moment, in the sky above Xiuyun Mountain, Zong Shou was deep in thought. He seemed to have forgotten something …
Xiuyun Sect?
Wasn't this the sect of that person who was on the same level as the God Emperor?
I wonder if he's dead or not this time?
If this person was gone, then it would be a waste.
Lazy to think about it, Zong Shou looked forward.
Who knows if it was because he had killed too many people, but the Nameless Sword in his hand started to give off a dark red glow.
Like layers of fresh blood were flowing on the sword body …
It seemed like Hanxi wasn't the only one who liked to kill. His sword also liked to kill.
The more souls it absorbed, the sharper the sword would be …
With a thought, the blood color on the sword became a little thicker.
It was the Massacring Sword Intent. It wasn't complete but it was already in its initial form.
Zong Shou instinctively thought about Li Yaling and also about Tan Qiu who used the Styx River Death Sword to kill all around.
Then, he shook his head, thinking about where the next sect should be. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
