Chapter 763 - How Can I Not Come?
Chapter 763: How Can I Not Come?
Only when her body landed on the ground and she stabilized herself was she able to look up to see what had happened.
She sucked in a cold breath as she saw a Giant Silver Dragon fighting with the Xuanwu Saint Beast, entangled into a ball.
Its aura seemed like it was a level higher than that of the Xuanwu.
It wasn’t as powerful, but its body was able to change between real and illusionary.
Each time the Xuanwu used the snake whip to strike it, either the strength wouldn’t be enough or it would turn illusionary and remain unharmed.
The Dragon head tightly bit the Xuanwu’s neck. It swallowed its Essence Energy and blood in big mouthfuls.
Even if it had thick ice layers formed around it, there was nothing the Xuanwu could do.
There were also silver-white flames around it, that went up against the power of the Xuanwu.
As time went on, its neck made cracking sounds. A look of fear and anxiousness appeared in the eyes of the Xuanwu.
“It is a Country Protecting Saint Beast! It is also God Realm!”
Beixuan’s voice rang out once more, but it was really hoarse, filled with disbelief.
“Even Great Shang doesn’t have something like that! How does a small country like Gantian Mountain have it?”
Qingming’s face was drained of blood, ashen white like paper.
At this moment, everyone within ten miles of the platform was totally silent, even a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone was either surprised or at a total loss. Some didn’t know what was going on as they looked at the scenes in the sky!
Victory was originally in their hands, why did such a change happen? Where did this Country Protecting Saint Beast come from? She also wanted to know!
Zong Shou actually had such a trump card!
Country Protecting Saint Beast! The Taoist Faction’s Protector Saint Beasts were formed using the pure devotion of hundreds of thousands of Cultivators. How was this Country Protecting God Beast formed? How was it made?
Looking back, Zong Shou’s expression was indeed weird when the Xuanwu appeared. However, it was only weird. At most, he had a headache and felt annoyed, there wasn’t any fear at all…”
“Can we help the Beast Venerable to get out?”
The Xuanwu was in a bad state and was restricted right away.
At this moment, it could still hold on, but that might not stay the same for long. If it died here, then she would be the sinner of the sect!
However, unsurprisingly she saw Beixuan shake his head.
“This Dragon is Initial God Realm and also a Dragon. Its combat strength is really strong. We are just Initial Celestial Realm so how can we interfere? We can’t even help if we wanted to. Moreover, Zong Shou wouldn’t let us do what we wish!”
Qingming turned her head to see that although Zong Shou was still dealing with the Nine Glory Tribulation, another silver Flying Knife had flown into the air and was spinning around his body.
It didn’t shoot out but it scared all Spirit Realm and above Cultivators, their auras became 30% weaker.
No one wanted to face such a Flying Knife!
Her gaze dimmed for a slight moment, before she clenched her fist. A violent intent appeared on her face.
“Based on what I know! Unless a Saint Beast dies on the spot, even if it is badly hurt and its body is destroyed, it can be recovered. It has an infinite lifespan and can live forever. To remove it we must break its foundations!”
Beixuan’s brow rose up, he didn’t know why Qingming said these words.
Then, he understood something, the foundations of the Xuanwu were in the Taoist Faction.
Then, this Silver Dragon’s was Gantian Mountain.
However, Zong Shou had no children and the rise and fall of Gantian Mountain was all tied to him.
More accurately, Zong Shou himself was the foundation of this Silver Dragon.
To break its foundations, then this was a good method…
“As long as we kill that person, we might be able to get what we wished! The Protector Beast Venerable would naturally be safe and sound!”
Qingming’s tone was firm. Her hand held onto the sword on her back as her eyes flashed a purple glow.
She had a final trump card. She just needed to slash Zong Shou with this sword.
She just needed those few talismans to activate.
Beixuan hesitated slightly and frowned as he looked at the formation, “It is easily said? No, it is just a wild thought!”
His tone was bitter, “This kid’s Flying Knife Technique can’t be blocked. The formation isn’t easily broken. The Heavenly number is 50 and one should be removed. However, Kong Rui chose 50. The cycle of Heaven should be 365 but he made 364. There is a weakness, but the two merged together made things totally perfect…”
It was possible when the Xuanwu had just appeared, but looking out now, the 600,000 soldiers were no longer in danger of being frozen.
The hundreds of Spirit Masters on the platform were all pumped up and fully focused.
“So I must rely on all of you Senior Brothers!”
Qingming was expressionless as she interrupted him.
“I don’t need Senior Brother to break the formation, just for you to give me a chance!”
Beixuan’s pupils constricted, they were filled with cold intent. Then he sighed, “Why so? We just need to wait for the few Great Senior Masters to attack. To deal with Aokun and this situation will be solved. Why take such a risk…”
The words were shot back by her gaze. She was really serious and her lips were curled.
“Senior Brother, if the Xuanwu Venerable dies here, we won’t be able to escape punishment! Do you think the Taoist Ancestor will let me live? I am willing to die. Senior Brother has received thousands of years of kindness from the Taoist Faction, aren’t you willing to help when we are in danger?”
Beixuan took in a deep breath. He first solemnly, then viciously stared at her, before he turned toward the platform.
He was forced into a corner by her words. If it was anywhere else he wouldn’t bother with her.
However, this time he knew that a Taoist Ancestor of the Vast Habitat was looking on at the battle…
※※※※
Pretty much at the same time, outside of the Cloud World in the World River.
Zhongguang frowned, his face marked with annoyance.
“How does Gantian Mountain have a Country Protecting Saint Beast? Silver White Dragon body, is it a Platinum Dragon? No! It is able to hide and change between real and illusionary, it is obviously a Yin Dragon!”
His tone was extremely vicious, but also anxious.
The Xuanwei also frowned deeply.
“Looking at the situation, it hasn’t fully turned into a Saint Beast and hasn’t been tamed by Zong Shou. How did he do it? If I knew this would happen, I shouldn’t…”
But, he felt that the words were inappropriate so he stopped and kept quiet.
Huayun’s expression was even more ugly.
Since it wasn’t totally tamed and wasn’t a true Saint Beast, then unless Zong Shou was in a life and death situation, it wouldn’t appear.
If he didn’t call out the Xuanwu Saint Beast, the outcome would be even better.
Even if the situation within the Cloud World was at a standstill, it would be better than having the Taoist Faction Protector Saint Beast sustaining heavy injuries just after it appeared.
Longxuan laughed and praised, “Husband is wise and prepared everything. With my knowledge, I wouldn’t have expected that he would have a Saint Beast protecting him. Just eight Celestial Realm Experts and a replica Withering Sword to try to take his life is such a joke. We underestimated him…”
Huayun’s expression calmed down, but it was still extremely dark.
His original intention was not to interfere in this matter.
The agreement made 10,000 years ago was for all the sects to defend together.
Although Daoling Vast Habitat could suppress others with strength, they had lost the moral high ground.
Even if they killed Zong Shou, their future situation would be on the back foot.
Xuanwei knew his thoughts and shook his head, “Junior Brother, we can’t hesitate anymore! Zong Shou’s Flying Knife can’t be blocked by anyone Celestial Realm and below! If we delay, our Taoist Faction disciples will suffer heavy losses. Just say we have no choice, but to break the Ancestor’s rule. We have no choice!”
He spoke but his eyes were focused ahead.
There was a teen holding a sword standing thousands of feet away. It was Mingyu.
“Cultivator Mingyu, I really don’t know why. You know that our Taoist Faction has no choice this time! Why does Common People’s Path have to interfere in this?”
When these words were spoken, the people of the Taoist Faction looked over with killing intent.
Not far away was a 70-year-old man who stared over with rage.
If it wasn’t for this person stopping him, he could at least save the life of Old Man Potian.
Daoling Sect was ranked sixth out of the Shrines. They weren’t as deep-rooted as Daoling Vast Habitat and Tailing Sect.
Potian was one of the people with the highest hopes of stepping into God Realm during the Spiritual Wave.
His death was enough to cause the entire Daoling Sect to feel anguished.
Mingyu’s expression turned serious as the few people swept over him.
3 God Realm and 4 Saint Realm, even he couldn’t look down on them. He smiled, “My Common People’s Path got many benefits from the Monster King and we want more. This time, we have to put in some effort.”
Xuanwei shook his head slightly, totally speechless.
In his eyes, Mingyu should have known that with their four sides working together, Aokun and Dragon Shadow stood no chance! Even Common People’s Path couldn’t stop them.
He wanted to drag the entire Common People’s Path down?
“Why do you even bother with him!”
Zhongguang’s brow rose in rage as he scoffed coldly, “Let’s kill that kid first!”
Soul Power spread as the space was ripped open. A hand reached out toward the Heaven Reaching Platform.
Mingyu was locked down by their auras and was unable to move. However, he just frowned but he wasn’t too worried.
The void around suddenly shook. Zhongguang’s pupils constricted and his hand retracted back like it had touched a needle.
A wound appeared on his palm. Zhongguang scoffed.
At this moment, Huayun smiled instead of feeling shocked. Looking out ahead, “You finally came. I thought you were being a coward and wouldn’t come out!”
A 20-year-old male walked out. He was wearing a golden robe and possessed an intense and domineering aura. There was a cold smile on his face.
“What a joke, a blood debt can be claimed today. How can I not come?”
