Pia, the rib that was struck snapped in two!
Ning Yi was both shocked and furious!
Each umbrella rib of the Blood Fiend Asura Umbrella was forged from the whale bone, from the yin ling whale that he had delved deep into the cloud sea to hunt. Each bone was as hard as metal and was difficult to damage with flying swords. After being immersed in the Hundred Grievance Blood Fiend for hundreds of days, each of them was strengthened and was unable to be damaged with flying swords!
If his Blood Fiend Asura Umbrella was cultivated into its complete form and formed its own world, then these thirteen umbrella ribs would become the pillars that held up this world!
How could such hard umbrella ribs be broken so easily? And by a little youth that was in jindan first stratum with a single sword strike? What Ning Yi found even hard to accept was that youth had just been his prey!
The black sword!
It was the fault of the black sword!
Ning Yi stared hard at the black sword in Wei Sheng’s hands, green and white mixing on his face. His eyes carried deep hatred and viciousness but also a deep terror!
The Blood Fiend Asura Umbrella was his life. When this umbrella rib was broken, its power was greatly reduced. Repair was an extremely difficult matter. In the past, he had used all thirteen whale bones of the yin ling whale that had obtained on this umbrella and had not kept even one in reserve! It had been good fortune that he was able to kill the yin ling whale. Where was he going to find the yin ling whale now?
What made his heart bleed even more blood was Wei Sheng’s soul. Such a perfect soul was even more valuable than the umbrella rib!
What was the origin of that black sword?
That strike just now had been silent but the black sword strike still gave Ning Yi, a ruthless and vicious individual, a sense of foreboding from the viciousness and fiendishness essence released in that silence.
Wei Sheng’s empty pupils stared at Ning Yi.
For some unknown reason, Ning Yi felt unnameable terror.
Suddenly, the black sword in Wei Sheng’s hand shook lightly. Ning Yi’s pupil suddenly shrank and the fear in him rose. He turned to a ball of bloody light and, without hesitating, disappeared into the horizon!
Turtle Island!
Just you wait!
If I do not avenge myself, I, Ning Yi,will not be able to look at myself!
A moment later, Wei Sheng fell face first like a block of wood and fell unconscious.
The black sword flipped through the air and silently floated next to Wei Sheng.
Even while unconsciousness, Wei Sheng seemed to be supported by an invisible power and did not fall into the cloud sea.

Pia!
The last arm of the Attainment Buddha and a ring of golden light collided together and exploded. The shadow behind Zong Ru was finally unable to withstand the barrage, and after a burst of violent trembling, it disappeared.
Zong Ru’s body shook and his face was slightly white.
Yuan Xin laughed viciously. He suddenly breathed, the Skanda Staff in his hand shining as he threw it out!
The Skanda Staff suddenly grew exponentially and like a black shadow, it howled intimidatingly as it smashed towards Zong Ru!
Just as Zong Ru was going to be struck to death, a rainbow sword energy suddenly flew out. The rainbow sword energy was like a soft rainbow coloured ribbon and wrapped around the Skanda Staff in the air!
Xie Shan!
Pew pew pew!
The light released by the Skanda Staff seemed to be slowly corroded and weakened. The size of the Skanda Staff also decreased slowly.
Yuan Xin’s expression did not change and still smiled viciously! His Skanda Staff was forged from the yellow copper essence extracted from deep underground. Even though it was lacking compared to that prayer wheel, it was unusually heavy! His throw seemed casual but it was actually extremely famed skill and called the [Skanda Throw]. The presence was heavy, like a mountain pressing down and the other would be unable to escape!
The other wanted to dissipate the power of this staff with that little bit of sword essence? That was a delusion!
Yuan Xin did not look at the Skanda Staff, just stared at Zong Ru and waited for him to be killed. He could then take the jade scroll and the prayer wheel before he would escape the battlefield! With the jade scroll and prayer wheel, that little bit of jingshi he was offered was insignificant!
Once he had these two items, he would immediately find a remote and secret place, go into seclusion to cultivate and break through into yuanying!
Xie Shan saw his sword essence was unable to stop the Skanda Staff. His expression changed. The situation was dangerous he could not attend to anything else. All the ling power in his body was channeled towards the Paired Mirage Swords in his hands!
Xie Shan’s cultivation was the highest of the four on their side!
This explosion of ling energy, that did not keep anything back, was extraordinarily powerful!
A handful of multi-colored sword energies appeared in Xie Shan’s hands each as thin as silk threads. These sword energies that were in the thousands as they flew at the Skanda Staff. The moment they came into contact with the staff, they suddenly turned soft and wrapped around the staff!
Xie Shan glared angrily and breathed out, “Go away!”
His hand made a grab motion and pulled back!
The sword energies that were in the thousands grew in intensity. In this instant, the seven colored light enshrouded the golden light released by the Skanda Staff!
The Skanda Staff was pulled askew by a thread to the side, brushing by Zong Ru’s body and falling into the deep cloud sea underneath.
A thread of shock flashed through Yuan Xin’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the other was able to save Zong Ru. However, a cold smile came onto his mouth. That sword xiu’s figure was wavering and unable to stand steady. He clearly had used up all his ling power to avert that attack. Zong Ru’s expression was also pale white, and was also at the end of his strength.
Without a word, with a great step he appeared in front of Zong Ru and reached out a hand to grab Zong Ru.
Pia!
The Blue Soul Cold Light Armor instantly shattered.
Zong Ru struggled to raise an arm and met Yuan Xin’s blow.
Crack!
Zong Ru’s arm broke. Yuan Xin showed a disdainful expression. In his eyes, Zong Ru was just making his last struggle before death. He prepared the killing move when his expression suddenly changed.
“Wish power!”
Like he was bitten by a poisonous snake, his eyes instantly filled with terror, his voice was hoarse and trembling.
Grey white color was like an enchanting vine that spread to his neck
Zong Ru managed a smile, the blood lotus on his head beautiful and glistening.
———
Compared to Zong Ru, Wei Sheng and Xie Shan, Zuo Mo’s battle was the extreme opposite and had gone smoothly.
The black gold seal soldier’s strange suction had defeated the Five Element Fog Shield that Zuo Mo was helpless against. The balance of victory had started to tilt towards Zuo Mo.
A seal xiu that lost their most powerful talisman was left to a tragic fate when facing the Great Day mo physique, which had shocking speed and power. Especially with Zuo Mo’s physical way of fighting. The rapid speed caused Gu Ming Gong to be in a disheveled state. If it wasn’t that he had several good talismans on him, he would have been beaten swollen by Zuo Mo.
However, he wasn’t much better off right now.
When his last talisman was split in half by Zuo Mo’s Midday Blade, his face as ashen
He didn’t even have a way to escape. His speed was far slower than Zuo Mo and what made him even more hopeless was that Zuo Mo was in a frenzy, the barrage of attacks didn’t give him a chance to breath at all. He didn’t have the time to grieve over his Five Element Fog Shield. No matter how good the talisman was, if it was gone, he could forge an
other one, but if he lost his little life, then he wouldn’t have anything!
He only needed a span of five breaths and he could escape!
He had a transportation seal which connected to the transportation formation in his residence. If he used it, he could return to his residence. As a seal xiu, transportation seals were something that they used as life-savers, how could he forget one?
Yet the other didn’t even give him a time of five breaths. He used all his moves, feints, swindling, conning to try to drag out the time. But the other didn’t reply to his words, only charging and killing as though the other held a great grievance against him.
Gu Ming Gong wanted to cry. The one that lost his talisman was clearly himself,the one disheveled was clearly him, but why did the other still look so furious? But how could he know that as Zuo Mo fought, he recalled the two hundred ling beasts he lost. The pain Zuo Mo felt was naturally blamed on Gu Ming Gong.
If Gu Ming Gong’s cultivation wasn’t so much stronger than his opponent, he would not have managed to survive until now!
This person was young but he was experienced, as sly as a fox!
His life would end here today!
His ling power fading, Gu Ming Gong’s thoughts ended. At this time, a hand gripped his throat.
Chapter 470: Lil’ Miss’ Order
“Feng Shixiong is well-informed, do you recognize this formation?” Li Shu looked from a distance at Turtle Island and said quietly.
Beside him was a middle-aged person named Feng Bao. Astonishment showed on his face. “It seems a bit like the Meridional Azure Aether Formation of Azure Sky Sect, is Turtle Island owned by a disciple of Azure Sky Sect?”
“Azure Sky Sect?”
“En, Azure Sky Sky is a powerful seal cultivator sect that is very powerful in Black Night Jie. They do not have many disciples, but they are most skilled in forging and seal-creating so the sect is extremely rich. What is most wondrous about Azure Sky Sect is the sect-protecting formation, called the Meridional Azure Aether Formation. It is extremely powerful,” Feng Bai explained.
“Black Night Jie?” Li Shu was slightly shocked, “So far away?”
“En, very very far.” Feng Bai nodded.
“Why did they run to Cloud Sea JIe?” LI Shu’s brow creased.
“I do not know that.” Feng Bai smiled and said, “What is Shidi worried about? According to what I know, the disciples of Azure Sky Sect are skilled in forging and seals, but they are peaceful and rarely enter conflicts against others.”
“Then it’s strange,” Li Shu said as he shook his head. “Shixiong may not know this, while these people from Turtle Island do not cause conflicts, they are not peaceful people. Their moves are vicious and decisive and the battalion they have are clearly veterans that have been on the battlefield. They would be hard to deal with.”
“There’s something like that?” Feng Bao said in wonder, “Then I wouldn’t know. Azure Sky Sect is too distant from us. It would require several years to go and investigate. I had only seen accounts of this formation by coincidence.”
Li Shu seemed to be pondering something and did not speak.
Sounds of violent explosions came from Turtle Island occasionally, the lights of all kinds of spells illuminating the sky. The Tian Family’s explosive barrage of attacks was still continuing.
Suddenly, Feng Bao made a light sound. “En, the formation has been penetrated?”
Li Shu woke up with shock and looked over. The Tian Family battalions that had been packed in the sky above Turtle Island were flowing furiously towards Turtle Island.
Had the formation of Turtle Island fallen?
———
“What?” Ma Fan thought that he had heard it wrong. Beside him, Lei Peng, Nian Lu and the others were frozen on their spots.
“Didn’t hear clearly? I said you can solve this problem yourselves.” Gongsun Cha showed a harmless smile, “You have the ability to solve a battle of this level by yourselves.”
Finishing, he shrugged, spread his hands, and looked away at ease.
Ma Fan instantly became frantic. His first response was —Damn it, which dumbass had offended Lil’ Miss? Dragging everyone down to feel the pain!
It wasn’t the first time something like this occurred. Once someone caused Lil’ Miss to show this demonic smile, what would follow would cause the Vermillion Bird Camp to be tormented together. When it was serious, even Guard Camp was unable to avoid the calamity.
“Daren! This is not possible!” Ma Fan lowed his voice and said fawningly, “Without you, we are blind! You are the bright light in the middle of the great sea, our helmsman, only on your hands can we express our greatest power! You are our spine, we can lack anyone but how can we lack you? Even Boss has said you are a Gold Battle General!”
Lil’ Miss smiled slightly bashfully as though he was embarrassed at hearing Ma Fan’s undisguised flattery yet Ma Fan and the others instantly had a foreboding feeling.
“Your flattery is slightly sickening but mostly truth.” Lil’ Miss smiled bashfully.
“Yes yes yes!” The foreboding feeling increased but Ma Fan and the others hurriedly nodded in agreement.
“But I am a Gold Battle General, that Tian Family, at most it is a Silver Battle General, it is worth of my attention.” Lil’ Miss smiled brightly, his face like a flower and showed two rows of white teeth. “You have stayed with me for this long, if you can’t even kill a Silver Battle General, then you might as well cut your own necks.”
Lil’ Miss smiled prettily again and everyone felt their backs dampen with cold sweat.
“I’m not joking.”
So Lil’ Miss really wasn’t joking!
Stumbling and crawling out of Lil’ Miss’ place, everyone huddled together and started to discuss.
“No way, Lil’ Miss wants to play us to death?” Someone wailed.
“Don’t cry, think of a solution! If we really can’t kill the Tian Family, ha, wait for it, if we don’t cut our own necks, Lil’ Miss will hand us the blade. Or he might just snap it, that is also possible!” Hei Zi motioned.
Everyone shuddered in unison. Even a fearless person like Lei Peng was slightly white.
Especially when the scene of Lil’ Miss holding a blade as he smiled shyly appeared in their minds. Uncontrollably, they all shook again!
“Brothers! If the Tian Family doesn’t die, then we will die!” A brother’s face was full of grief and excitement.
“Kill the Tian Family!”
“Kill’em!” “Kill’em!”
Everyone’s eyes were red as their voices almost blew off the roof of the building.
When the noise quieted, Lei Peng’s voice rumbled, “Old Fan, A Ran, you two have the most ideas, quick, think of something.’
The other people looked at Ma Fan and Wei Ran. In the eyes of everyone, these two were the best at strategizing in Vermillion Bird Camp. Ma Fan had been the core before and with his personality preferred to use his cunning rather than his blade. Wei Ran was not as smart as Ma Fan, but he was a reliable person that was widely trusted.
The first to speak was Wei Ran. He said in a low voice, “It is not enough to complete this with just our Vermillion Bird Camp. Defeating them is easy, but Lil’ Miss wants is to kill them. This is slightly difficult. Most importantly, we cannot let any of them escape.”
Ma Fan’s eyes lit up, “Why don’t we use a ‘bolt the door to beat the dog’ tactic!”
“Bolt the door to beat the dog?”
“We’ll let them in and then close the formation of the island. This way, they cannot escape!” Ma Fan’s eyes were bright.
“This idea is good!” Wei Ran clapped his hands in excitement.
The other people also showed excitement. All of them had lots of battle experience, but none of them had experienced being in charge before.
Someone quickly added, “Then we have to be careful, if the defeated battle xiu of the Tian Family damages the ling fields of the island…”
“Yes, yes! Lil’ Miss is not good to offend, and we can’t touch Boss! If Boss comes back and sees serious damage, then we won’t have a good outcome either!”
“En en, we need to have enough manpower. It seems that we really have to ask Guard Camp for help.”
“Let’s do this … …”
———
Shu Long caressed the great black halberd in his hand. This great black halberd was even larger than the one he had formed from killing essence, and its shape was simpler. There was only a single spike that was shaped like a bird’s head and a dark red blade seemed to been dyed in fresh blood.
What was most eerie was the design, a blue-grey eye on the head of the halberd. From a distance, it looked like a black crow standing on top of a black stick.
An intoxicated smile floated onto Shu Long’s face as he gripped it in his hands. A feeling of intimacy came from the body of the halberd and made him feel as though it was his flesh and blood.
All of the mo weapons in the black pond had used totem fragments. Each mo weapon seemed to be alive and caused each of them to have an unique presence.
But the presence of the mo weapons were not like the intelligent presences of the talismans and flying swords, but were vicious and dark. It was possible to see their viciousness at a glance.
The presence of the black halberd in Shu Long’s hands was the most unique. There was no viciousness, just a barely discernable desolate presence.
It may be due to fate that that A Wen received a mo weapon that was identical to the one he had formed from killing essence, it was a dark green spear. The body of the spear was streamlined and etched with complex patterns which made it feel comfortable in the hand. The shape of the green spear was unique. The spear was shaped like a ruler-straight green snake, and the head of the spear reached out of the snake’s jaw. The eyes of the snake were eerily open.
All three hundred mo weapons had chosen their masters.
The remaining people could only wait for a future round of forging. At the beginning, people were uncaring because no one had seen mo weapons before but after the mo weapons came out, everyone had jealous eyes!
