“Corrupt Pupil Gaze!” Xue You’s third eye suddenly released a ray of light toward Gu Yang.
Gu Yang felt as if a devil was staring at him. He was unable to move and could only watch as the ray of light shot toward him. A feeling of death washed over him. He didn’t know what this light was, but he was sure that if he was struck, he would definitely die. However, he couldn’t dodge.
“Soul Suppressing Light!” Meng Qi formed hand seals, hastily urging the Soul Suppressing Tower to block. At this moment, the Soul Suppressing Tower’s runes condensed at the top of the tower. It also shot out a ray of light.
The two rays collided, and terrifying soul energy covered the battlefield. Those with weaker Spiritual Strengths felt like needles were stabbing into their heads.
“Big sister!” Tang Wan-er saw that Meng Qi’s face was extremely pale now. A trace of blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth. She had clearly suffered from that exchange.
“To be able to block my attack with soul energy, your Spiritual Strength is very strong. Good, you’re definitely a must-have!” Xue You’s eyes lit up.
Tang Wan-er was enraged, instantly summoning two wind blades in her hands. Endless runes danced around them as she shot toward Xue You.
Meng Qi’s injury caused Tang Wan-er immense pain. Meng Qi had always looked after her kindly. Although she was a bit petty, Meng Qi had always conceded to her. Now seeing her injured, and for Xue You to say such brazen words, Tang Wan-er no longer bothered with Meng Qi’s warning. She didn’t care about stalling right now; she wanted to kill Xue You.
“Storm’s Fury!”
Two wings suddenly appeared on Tang Wan-er’s back. They were thirty meters long and different from other people’s wings. The world became silent for an instant. It was like the world’s wind energy had all been sucked dry by Tang Wan-er.
The runes circulating around her wind blades suddenly exploded in speed. Because they were so fast, it was no longer possible to see them.
“Die!” Tang Wan-er slashed her wind blades toward Xue You. As they slashed through space, the void was cleanly cut.
Xue You was appalled. He had never seen such a terrifying wind cultivator who chose to fight at close range. Moreover, the two wind blades released a pressure that was greater than high grade Treasure items. He slashed his sword, but he felt an irresistible power send him flying.
“Storm Apocalypse!”
Everyone’s jaws dropped upon seeing this scene. But the greater shock came later. With her hair dancing in the air, Tang Wan-er merged the two wind blades, forming a sphere.
Within the storm sphere, there were four large wind blades circulating. A painful whistling sound came from it, one that sounded like blades being scraped.
The storm sphere left her hands and shot toward Xue You. It rapidly grew larger, until it was a mile wide when it reached Xue You on the ground.
Xue You was directly enveloped by the storm sphere. This attack was so quick that it came before he could recover from her previous attack.
The storm sphere didn’t immediately explode upon striking the ground. It continued to revolve chaotically. The earth blew apart, and it was deep in the ground when it suddenly exploded.
An earthquake erupted. The experts standing on the ground suddenly felt a shockwave pass through them. Many of them weren’t able to endure it and coughed up blood.
The ground exploded and a figure soared out. Xue You’s hair was in disarray, and he was covered in quite a bit of dust. But his gaze was even more excited. Looking at Tang Wan-er, he wasn’t the slightest bit angry. He was even delighted.
“Hahaha…. My luck really isn’t bad. I want you both. If you don’t want to listen, then once I refine you into puppets, you’ll definitely be peak grade!” laughed Xue You.
A huge illusory figure appeared behind Xue You. Blood-red runes circulated as he activated his Blood Devil Possession.
Tang Wan-er and Meng Qi’s power had exceeded his expectations. If he captured them, then the Corrupt path had countless ways to make them submit. Thinking of how he could obtain two peerless beauties who would also be powerful helpers, he was full of anticipation.
“Die!” Tang Wan-er’s fury didn’t lessen at all. She once more condensed wind blades and attacked Xue You.
BOOM! Xue You stood in his original location, while Tang Wan-er was forced back.
“Beauty, be careful. I’m going to get serious.” Xue You suddenly appeared in the air, summoning countless afterimages behind him. His speed had increased.
“One Sword Hunts the Soul!”
Yue Zifeng’s Flying Rainbow came slashing toward him. This was his strongest attack, and his killing intent caused the void to shake.
BOOM! Xue You had no choice but to block, and as a result, both sides were knocked back. But Xue You was only knocked back three meters, while Yue Zifeng was sent flying.
“Dragon Pierces Out of the Sea!” Yue Zifeng’s attack had just ended when Gu Yang’s spear shot forward. At the same time, an arrow came from a crafty angle.
Xue You blocked Gu Yang’s spear with his sword, while his other hand smashed apart Guo Ran’s arrow. As expected, it was another explosive arrow that blew apart his sleeve.
He had just blocked those two attacks when Meng Qi’s Soul Suppressing Tower once more descended, smashing into him.
Xue You was entangled by their attacks. The five of them were all shocking experts on their own. When they worked together and stopped holding back, even Xue You was temporarily unable to do anything to them.
“Lord Xue You is being held back?”
“What are we supposed to do?”
The Corrupt experts felt like they were dreaming.
“Don’t just stand there! Kill those useless people!” roared Xue You as he dodged Guo Ran’s silent sneak attacks.
Only then did his remaining experts react. Under the lead of the three rank four Celestials, they charged toward the aboriginals.
“Brother Mingyuan, brother Li Qi, the defense will be left to you!” shouted Guo Ran. The current battle was being fought in the sky, and the two of them couldn’t leave the ground to fight or their power would be greatly reduced.
If they did join in to fight against Xue You, well, their attacks were too direct and massive. They weren’t suited for this high-speed battle, so they wouldn’t be able to work together with them very well. In fact, they might end up breaking their rhythm.
Not only were Xue You’s experts moving, but even Ka Wutu’s experts were charging over now, led by four rank four Celestials.
“Hmph, we’ll show you what absolute defense is.”
Song Mingyuan and Li Qi were still in their earth giant forms. They slammed the ground with their hands, and the earth wrapped up the aboriginals, forming layers and layers, eventually turning into a huge dome.
The seven rank four Celestials from the Corrupt path sneered. They slashed their weapons down and were startled to find that this dome was incredibly sturdy. They were unable to break it. Even if they could cause some damage to one layer, it would instantly recover.
The seven of them continuously attacked, but they were unable to break the dome. They were dumbfounded.
When it came to combat power, perhaps Li Qi and Song Mingyuan hadn’t reached a high enough level. But when it came to defensive power, then while they were standing on the ground, they possessed practically limitless power.
As long as no one could break the dome in one strike, their earth energy would come in an unending stream. That was the most monstrous aspect of earth attribute cultivators. While on the ground, they were practically undefeatable in the same realm.
“Ji Changkong, are you just going to watch?!” Seeing that they were unable to do anything, Xue You finally opened his mouth.
Chapter 914 I Look Favorably Upon You
“Ji Changkong, are you just going to watch?!” shouted Xue You.
He was surrounded by them and was unable to do anything to them. Meng Qi a
nd the others were too strong, especially Tang Wan-er. She was like a fierce tiger. Her attacks were extremely sharp, and she posed the greatest threat to him.
A stone door opened on the mountain. Ji Changkong walked out, indifferently saying, “I don’t need you, Xue You, to tell me what to do. Don’t forget our positions.”
After all, Ji Changkong was part of the Righteous path. Even if he were to take action, he had to clearly state his position. He didn’t want to leave behind evidence after killing them all.
Xue You sneered disdainfully. The thing the Corrupt path despised the most about the Righteous path was their need to act sanctimonious while really being corrupt.
It was the typical case of being a prostitute but wanting a memorial tablet erected for them. It was shameless to the pinnacle. However, Xue You didn’t bother exposing him. In any case, the evidence was in his hands.
Whether or not he could kill Ji Changkong, in the end, Xue You would use the fact that Ji Changkong had colluded with him to frame Long Chen and viciously humiliate the idiots of the Righteous path.
“Long Chen has colluded with the aboriginals to harm the Righteous path. His vicious means have made him guilty of reprehensible crimes. Despite your association with him, if you put down your arms now, we can spare your lives. Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting vengeance for my fallen comrades and cleaning up the Righteous path by killing you!” shouted Ji Changkong.
Gu Yang and the others were so infuriated that they felt like their lungs would explode. This bastard was truly too dangerous. He was clearly colluding with the Corrupt path, but he still gave such pompous reasoning.
“Fuck your mother, Ji Changkong, you shameless trash. You better get ready to have my boss beat the shit out of you for this!” roared Guo Ran.
“Frame? Guo Ran, you’re just one of Long Chen’s jackals. You’ve lost the face of the Xuantian Dao Sect. I can testify that Long Chen is a liar through and through. He caused the deaths of many of the Dao Sect’s disciples!” Zhao Wuji suddenly appeared.
Yue Qianshan was standing by his side. Now two of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s heavenly geniuses were correlating the story that Long Chen had colluded with the aboriginals. At the same time, quite a few of the other disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect also appeared, joining in.
“Long Chen is the scum of the Xuantian Dao Sect. For some selfishness, he harmed his own sect.”
“He’s not just the scum of the Xuantian Dao Sect but the scum of the entire Righteous path. Such a person cannot be allowed to exist any longer in the Righteous path!”
“All of you on Long Chen’s side are going all-out to protect aboriginals. That proves everything! Are you stupid?”
“Brother Ji Changkong, please clean up the Righteous path and kill these traitors!”
“Clean up the Righteous path and kill these traitors!”
Condemnation rang out in waves. The Righteous experts following Ji Changkong were experts at shouting. This was the best time for them to form relationships with Ji Changkong, so they went all-out shouting, afraid their voices would be quieter than others. They shouted so hard that they turned red in the face. It was like Long Chen had caused the deaths of their mothers.
“A group of idiots.”
Guo Ran was so infuriated that his hair stood on end. He really had an urge to kill these idiots who clearly knew the truth but decided to go along with it anyway. Ignoring their consciences, they blindly spouted whatever anyone wanted.
Seeing the excellent morale his side had, seeing the countless fervent gazes looking at him, Ji Changkong felt like he had become the people’s hero. His wings flapped, and he flew over to a large dome on the battlefield. That was where Song Mingyuan and Li Qi had laid down their absolute defense.
Seven rank four Celestials were actually helpless against this defense. It had become a battle of attrition, but since the two of them were supported by the earth’s energy, they were able to remain undefeated.
“Useless fools, scram! Don’t say I didn’t warn you once you die.” Ji Changkong had an urge to kill all of them together ‘accidentally’, but he resisted that urge in the end.
If he really did that, then both Xue You and Ka Wutu would immediately turn on him, and the situation would become chaotic. Because he couldn’t expose that he was colluding with the Corrupt path and he also couldn’t kill these people, his best option was to use a disdainful tone to get them to scram.
An ancient immortal character lit up on Ji Changkong’s forehead. That was his ancestral mark. It was different from ordinary ancestral marks, as golden lines were flowing within it. It was the extremely rare spacetime energy.
Ji Changkong’s family possessed a long history, and terrifying experts had appeared amongst his ancestors. Although those experts had already died, they had used secret arts to leave behind a portion of their soul essence right before they died, leaving it to their family.
When outstanding disciples appeared, they could receive the ancestors’ spiritual blessing. This blessing had not only increased the purity of Ji Changkong’s Spirit Blood, but it also allowed his combat power to increase by a shocking amount once his Spirit Blood awakened.
“Break!” Ji Changkong smashed his fist onto Song Mingyuan and Li Qi’s earthen dome. When his fist met the dome, golden runes covered his fist.
BOOM! Everyone was startled to see that the absolute defense that seven rank four Celestials had been powerless against was instantly broken by a single punch from Ji Changkong.
Li Qi and Song Mingyuan vomited blood, and it also contained some broken pieces of their innards. In fact, even their bodies were covered with cracks. They were just one step away from being blown apart.
Ji Changkong’s attack looked ordinary, but he had actually used an extremely powerful magical art. His control over that magical art had reached the pinnacle, which was why its aura was condensed and didn’t leak out.
The two of them were almost killed by this blow. They took on eighty percent of its power, but the other aboriginals with weaker cultivation bases fainted, blood pouring out from their orifices.
Only experts on the level of Feng Geyin, Shi Cang, and Xiao Fei had been able to resist it without being injured. But they felt a ringing in their heads.
“Traitors from the Righteous path, you’ve colluded with the sinister aboriginals to harm the Righteous path, and you refuse to stop time and time again. Don’t blame me for taking the place of the heavens to eliminate you!” shouted Ji Changkong righteously. His palm smashed toward them.
This attack was no weaker than his previous one. In fact, it might even be stronger based on the rumbling it caused. Guo Ran had no choice but to stop assisting Tang Wan-er and the others. Three huge arrows shot out, coming toward Ji Changkong at different angles.
“Ant!”
Guo Ran was alarmed to see Ji Changkong smile. His right palm was still attacking, but his left hand had formed a seal. A runic shield appeared around him. He was actually able to activate a magical art with just one hand.
It had to be known that almost all magical arts required two-handed seals. Ji Changkong most likely specialized in magical arts and had studied them all the way to their roots.
This was actually one of Ji Changkong’s top moves. This way, he could attack and defend at the same time. Guo Ran’s arrows had been timed and angled perfectly. Thus, no matter how he tried to dodge, he would be struck by one. This way, he didn’t have to.
Guo Ran’s three arrows struck the shield and directly rebounded.
Three explosions rang out. Because the surrounding experts were too concentrated, two of the arrows landed amongst the Corrupt experts, while one landed amongst the Righteous experts.
They had all been watching to see how Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and the others would be killed by Ji Changkong. When those arrows rebounded toward them, they instinctively took out their weapons to block. But their endings were tragic.
Three huge explosions caused miserable screams. Not e
veryone was as powerful as Xue You. The explosion of these arrows blew apart any experts within several miles of the epicenter. Even rank three Celestials didn’t manage to escape.
Everyone was startled. Originally, Guo Ran’s arrows hadn’t caused much effect against Xue You, so they hadn’t expected them to be so powerful.
“Li Qi, Song Mingyuan!”
Seeing that they were unable to stop Ji Changkong, they panicked. They went all-out attacking Xue You, hoping to force him back so they could assist them.
“Are you looking down on me? Corrupt Pupil Gaze, Heaven and Earth Revolves!” Xue You laughed, and a strange fluctuation came from his third eye. They felt space become twisted and lost their sense of direction. It was like the world was constantly spinning around them.
They were startled. This didn’t seem to be an illusion. They were unable to describe it with words, and now they were unable to make any effective attacks. They were forced to switch to defense.
They knew this kind of misperception would only be temporary. As long as they endured it, this move would run its course. But Xue You’s goal had been achieved. He wasn’t in a hurry to kill them. He just stalled them, allowing Ji Changkong to kill Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and all the others.
“Righteous path’s traitors, time for you to meet your fate!” Ji Changkong waved his hand, and a terrifying astral wind filled the air. Li Qi and all the others were within the scope of this attack. They found it hard to breathe, and they also couldn’t move. They could only watch as death approached.
“You dare to call my brothers, traitors? I look favorably upon you.” A voice rang out across the battlefield, shaking people’s ears and hearts.
Chapter 915 One Point, One Slap in the Face
Following the arrival of that voice, a huge figure appeared in the sky, one that hid the sun. It was Meng Qi’s housepet, the Redeye Sacred Blood Phoenix.
There was a black-robed man standing atop its head. His eyes sparkled like two stars, possessing an unspeakable charm.
“Long Chen!”
