Instantly, Si Junyu was scared out of his wits!
"Ah!"
Si Junyu withdrew a long sword that shone with a cold glint from his storage bag. Spirit energy surged wildly as he thrust it towards the middle-aged monk's head!
At the same time, Si Junyu tore apart a protection talisman that he had been clutching in his left hand the entire time.
Whoosh!
Golden light shone brightly around Si Junyu, forming an indestructible barrier of light.
The middle-aged monk did not dodge or avoid the incoming sword and flicked his finger gently.
His fingertip collided with the sword.
Clang!
The sword in Si Junyu's hands was snapped by the middle-aged monk's finger!
Si Junyu's palm cracked and he could not hold onto the sword any longer, letting it fall out of his hands.
Thereafter, he felt his vision blur and the middle-aged monk's figure disappear.
To everyone else, the middle-aged monk snapped the sword with his finger before taking a step forward and circling behind Si Junyu.
The middle-aged monk's movements were way too smooth.
It was as smooth as flowing water and there was no pause in between from the moment he attacked.
The middle-aged monk stuck his entire body forward like an anaconda, coiling around the golden barrier around Si Junyu and exerting strength! Crack!
Crack! Crack!
Cracks appeared on the golden barrier one after another.
After a momentary pause, the golden barrier shattered!
The middle-aged monk reached out and gripped Si Junyu's neck, exerting strength in his fingers.
Si Junyu felt his entire body go limp and his limbs go limp. He could not move at all and could only allow the middle-aged monk to lift him up!
"Everyone, stop!"
The middle-aged monk turned around and said coldly.
The two Great Xia guards and three Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect sword cultivators who were chasing behind him stopped in their tracks hurriedly with deep fear in their eyes.
This middle-aged monk was way too ruthless!
From the moment he attacked until now, all the Perfected Jin Dan that stood in his way were dead without a single survivor!
This was not a benevolent monk at all – he was more like a fiend who was bloodthirsty!
In the blink of an eye, Si Junyu was in the hands of the middle-aged monk. Gu Suqi and Perfected Lord Tian Chen had no choice but to give up on killing Perfected Lord Ming Ze for the time being.
Instantly, Perfected Lord Ming Ze relaxed and fell from midair in his exhaustion.
Thankfully, Ji Yaoxue rushed forward and supported him.
The situation in front of him suddenly became delicate.
On the side of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were still five Perfected Jin Dan cultivators and two terrifying Nascent Soul cultivators left.
On the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Yaoxue released the Son of Heaven's Imperial Air Technique. Her spiritual energy was already exhausted, and her combat power was limited.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze was covered in injuries and could no longer fight.
On the surface, it seemed like the Great Zhou Dynasty was at a complete disadvantage. However, the ingenious thing was that Si Junyu had landed in the hands of the middle-aged monk!
Suddenly, Perfected Lord Ming Ze and the others understood the middle-aged monk's intentions.
If he were to fight them head-on, he wouldn't be a match for two Nascent Soul Realm sword cultivators.
The only way to break out of this situation and obtain a chance of survival was to capture Luo Jun Yu alive with the momentum of a thunderbolt and take control of the situation!
"What a powerful monk!"
Perfected Lord Ming Ze sighed internally.
The fact that the middle-aged monk was able to find the only way to break out of the situation in such a short period of time was proof of his understanding of the situation and his meticulous mind!
In reality, Perfected Lord Ming Ze had yet to realize the middle-aged monk's true intentions at that moment.
By the time he realized it, what he felt was not only shock, but fear!
How gutsy did the other party have to be to harbor such thoughts?!
Ji Yaoxue supported Perfected Lord Ming Ze and looked at the middle-aged monk not far away with a slight frown.
For some unknown reason, she felt that something was amiss.
If the middle-aged monk was only at Jin Dan realm and they did not know each other, why would he take such a huge risk to save her?
Not only did he attack, he did it so decisively, as though he was enraged.
Si Junyu and the others were targeting her – where did the middle-aged monk's rage come from?
Could this person have a blood feud with the Great Xia Dynasty in the past and his attack today was merely a coincidence?
Ji Yaoxue could not figure it out.
Gu Suqi and Perfected Lord Tian Chen glared at the middle-aged monk with cold expressions, as though they wanted to make out something from his face.
The middle-aged monk was expressionless and his eyes were indifferent as well.
Gu Suqi narrowed his eyes and said coolly, "There's a saying in the Buddhist monasteries that Bodhisattvas are benevolent because they lower their heads. Monk, as someone of the Buddhist monasteries, you're way too murderous! "
"There's a saying in the Buddhist monasteries as well that only the wrath of a Vajra can subdue demons!"
The middle-aged monk's gaze was like a torch – it was truly the descent of a Vajra that could not be looked at directly!
"Humph!"
Perfected Lord Tian Chen's eyes shone with a chilling killing intent as he said coldly, "Monk, if you dare to harm his life, I'll tear you into pieces and grind your bones to dust!"
Against Genying Zhenjun's threat, the middle-aged monk was unmoved and instead exerted even more strength in his grip.
Si Junyu's face turned purplish but he could not say anything.
Gu Suqi's gaze flickered as he suddenly said, "We won't get anything out of this stalemate. How about we make a deal?"
"Oh?" The middle-aged monk raised his brow slightly.
Gu Suqi said in a deep voice, "Release him and we'll leave immediately!"
The middle-aged monk pondered for a moment before asking, "How do I know that you guys won't go back on your words?"
Perfected Lord Tian Chen and Gu Suqi exchanged glances and understood what was going on. A crafty look flashed through their eyes as they replied hurriedly, "As Genying Zhenjun, the two of us value our reputations. We won't go back on our words!"
When he heard that, Perfected Lord Ming Ze was alarmed.
In the cruel cultivation world, there was no way a verbal promise as such could be taken seriously unless it was someone whom one could trust completely.
Furthermore, even if Gu Suqi and Perfected Lord Tian Chen went back on their words and killed them, news of this would definitely not spread and their reputations would naturally not be affected at all.
Initially, Perfected Lord Ming Ze thought that given the middle-aged monk's wisdom, he would definitely be able to see through the dangers involved.
However, he had not expected the middle-aged monk to be so tempted.
"For real?"
The middle-aged monk frowned slightly and looked at the two Genying Zhenjun before asking again.
"A promise is a promise that cannot be taken back!"
Gu Suqi suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and replied with a firm tone without revealing anything!
In his opinion, although the middle-aged monk had some tricks up his sleeves and was extremely intelligent, he might have been reciting sutras in seclusion all year round and had way too little experience roaming the cultivation world.
As long as they could save Si Junyu, it would be the death of the middle-aged monk!
"Don't …"
Perfected Lord Ming Ze was anxious and was about to speak when the middle-aged monk nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you guys."
With that, the middle-aged monk carried Si Junyu and walked towards the two Genying Zhenjun.
Instantly, Perfected Lord Ming Ze's hopes were dashed.
He had already sensed the unconcealable excitement and killing intent in the depths of Gu Suqi and Perfected Lord Tian Chen's eyes.
Both of them had fervent gazes, as though they were waiting for the ignorant monk to deliver himself to them with their jaws wide open.
Suddenly, Ji Yaoxue's heart skipped a beat and she asked softly, "Since he wants to release Si Junyu, why is he walking towards Gu Suqi and Perfected Lord Tian Chen?"
Perfected Lord Ming Ze was stunned.
That was right.
If he wanted to release Si Junyu, he could have done so easily – why did he have to walk towards Gu Suqi and Perfected Lord Tian Chen?
"What is he trying to do?"
A look of confusion flashed through Perfected Lord Ming Ze's eyes.
"Could it be …"
