"Alright!" A Wen was excited as well.
"Five zhang deep is good." But everyone disregarded the black smoke yao's weak voice. Everyone's attentions were put on these two that were going to make portraits.
Nothing more had to be said about A Wen's talent. The orange-haired yao appeared absent-minded and slightly odd, but his talent in the yao arts was usually unexpected. He could always make some strange and weird yao arts.
"Who do you think will win?" Ming Jue Zi was full of interest.
Nan Yue said, "A Wen."
Cang Ze hesitated and said, "Big Orange!"
Ming Jue Zi looked at the black smoke yao. The black smoke yao said helplessly, "Big Orange."
Ming Jue Zi snickered. "I favor A Wen, two on two!"
The orange-haired yao postured as though he was an expert, hand palm up, he beckoned at A Wen. "Young man, I will not go easy on you! However, Young man, your life will become more complete after losing to this loyal orange-haired yao."
A Wen stared back, not backing down. "Come on! Red haired monster, let me show you what the first expert of Guard Camp is like!"

Looking at Zuo Mo's ghostly figure and indifferent expression, everyone felt danger that could not be pushed away. Every one of them had grave expressions. Those present were all experts and naturally could see the change in Zuo Mo.
Princess Xia's lips were tightly pressed together and her expression changed slightly. Xiao Mo Ge in the distance seemed to have changed into a completely new person that she felt extremely unfamiliar with.
However, she quickly suppressed the stray thoughts in her mind. Xiao Mo Ge was the crucial part of the entire plan. His change would affect the plan hugely. Up until now, Xiao Mo Ge had not used the Star Luring Mo Bead in his hand, and he was moving in ways that people did not understand.
Princess Xia suddenly had a realization, Xiao Mo Ge had found the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion!
Once this thought appeared, her expression became ashen!
Her previous plan had been to create an illusion that the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion was about to appear in order to lure the xiuzhe out. She had never thought the act would become truth! Once the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion appeared, the entire plan would be full of flaws. The morale of the xiuzhe would be at their highest and their counter-attack would be unusually fierce. On the opposite side, the mo experts would be targeting the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion so they would each have their own plans. The alliance would fall apart.
Under such circumstances, the plan that had been flawless would become a mess!
At that time, this place would become a melee battle. Melee battles were the most advantageous for the xiuzhe!
What worried her even more was Xiao Mo Ge who would be at the center of the melee battle would be placed in the most dangerous situation.
Her expression quickly recovered and she said indifferently, "The Great Peace Treasure Pavilion is about to open. The plan has changed. Everyone, charge in, and keep the xiuzhe out!"
Princess Xia's words caused everyone to shake. They looked in disbelief at Princess Xia. Their attention had been on Xiao Mo Ge's transformation. While they had felt that his actions were slightly strange, no one had connected them to the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion.
Princess Xia's gaze flashed across the pairs of eyes that had started to burn. She combed her hair and smiled, "Everyone, be careful of Xiao Mo Ge's safety. If those xiuzhe want to act against Xiao Mo Ge because they are unable to get the treasures, they might ruin this for all of us and then we won't have anything. He is still useful now, and at such an important time, I hope that the elders present will not hold anything back."
Everyone's gazes met and then moved away.
Yu Shuang stood up and said with a smile, "We need to show something to these xiuzhe. Otherwise, they will think that there are none capable among us mo. They dare to come and go as they wish, do they think this is their backyard?"
The other people also rose.
Chang Yuan Hao and Yu Shuang walked together. The guards led by Xia protected Princess Xin and the guards led by Zhu Ke protected Princess Wan. Qi Diao Yu was moving by himself … …
In a flash, the alliance fell apart and each camp was clearly divided.
"You have intentions about him? The middle-aged attendant beside Princess Xia suddenly spoke.
Princess Xia glanced at her and asked back, "What do you feel?"
"Then why are you helping him?" The middle-aged attendant stared at Princess Xia and said coldly, "You know very well that if you enter this conflict, you will have nothing to do with him anymore!"
Princess Xia smiled slyly. "Don't you feel that it is to our advantage to direct their attention towards Xiao Mo Ge?"
The middle-aged attendant's expression eased slightly. She said coldly, "Don't do anything stupid."
Princess Xia seemed to not hear it. She raised her head to look at Xiao Mo Ge that was reaching towards a stone stele and suddenly said, "You just couldn't wait."
The middle-aged attendant's expression froze.
———
The stele in front of him was the last mo skill stele that had a handprint.
The half-transparent thin threads in his vision were as bright as rays of light. Ripples moved along these criss-crossing lines like waves against the shore that came from all directions towards this stone stele.
The moment that Zuo Mo's palm came into contact with this stele, a strong vibration pulsed from the stone stele. Even the ground under his feet seemed to be violently shaking. There seemed to be an ancient being which was suppressed here that seemed to shift.
Zuo Mo's expression was cold and indifferent, void of all expression.
In response to the enormous tremors that came from the stone stele, the muscles on Zuo Mo's plan were quickly vibration at an astounding rate.
At this moment, all light stopped at the simultaneously.
But in the next second, the lights that had paused seemed to be startled away and then redirected towards the stele from all directions!
Boom!
A ray of white light suddenly came out of the stone stele. Like a ruler-straight sword of light, it pierced the sky and entered the void.
The white light was like a burning flame that moved towards all directions. In a flash, all of the mo skill steles released a fierce white light.
The ground was trembling fiercely, all of Great Peace City was trembling!
Great fissures started to appear on the ground around the stele forest. Then the stele forest started to slowly rise.
Boom boom boom!
The stele forest that was covered in rays of light slowly rose. There seemed to be an enormous beast underneath it that was pushing it up.
That blinding ray of white light was like a rope that was pulling the stele forest up!
And beside that ray of light, a cold and indifferent figure gazed down at the ground under the white light.
Translator Ramblings: Poor guys … … at least they don't have to worry about food?
Chapter 621: One Sword Strike From Lin Qian!
"Start!"
"Start!"
A Wen and the orange haired yao shouted at the same time and moved simultaneously.
A Wen's eyes were widened, the black plumes on his armor stood on end and vibrated in unison. He was slightly crouched, his arms pushed out as though he was about to hug someone, as he breathed and suddenly pushed down.
The ground under his feet soundlessly sank. A deep hole with smooth walls was formed. It was as though there was a diagram on the ground made with a tool, the outline was clear and sharp.
The orange haired yao shouted strangely. Lightning flashed across his body and crackled. His orange hair exploded into a poof. It was hilarious to watch because he was still shaking and swaying his head.
The ground underneath him was crumbling and disappearing at a visible rate underneath his feet. The hole's outline traced out a picture; a
picture of woman appeared in front of everyone.
Nan Yue and the others were stunned. They all had admiration in their eyes. These two were clearly a level above the rest of them.
These were two freaks!
When A Wen had acted, they hadn't detected one vibration at all. The outline was so clear, the lines looked as sharp as if cut by a blade. It showed just how stunning A Wen's control of power was.
They found that they understood even less about the orange haired yao's yao art. It had actually caused the dirt to crumble from the inside. Even though it was lightning, it was corrosive and uncanny.
"Hey, youth, you aren't too bad!" The orange haired yao was slightly shocked.
"Hmph! Next time, I will defeat you!" A Wen said, undaunted.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone else, the two started to compete fiercely again. Each working on their portrait.
"Hm, isn't this A Gui? Young person, so you have been secretly pining for A Gui?" The orange haired yao pointed at the portrait under A Wen's feet as he shouted.
"Idiot! You need to call her A Gui Daren!" A Wen glared angrily and then snorted coldly. "A Gui Daren's beauty isn't something that a common person like you can understand!"
"A Gui is a good girl, but not a beauty." The orange haired yao shook his head and said smugly, "What I drew is a beauty!"
A Wen stared for a long time at the drawing under the orange haired yao's feet. His expression suddenly became slightly strange as he muttered, "Why does your portrait seem a bit like Old Black … …"
The black smoke yao's body trembled and then he charged over.
The orange haired yao had a smug expression. "Haha, young person, you are right! In the past, Old Black frequently cross dressed in the yao art house, and bewitched many men … …"
The black smoke yao's eye twitched continuously. What had happened in the past was something he was unwilling to mention. This damned person! He was on the edge of losing his temper. The other people retreated perceptively and looked sympathetically at the black smoke yao.
Just as the black smoke yao was going to explode, there were violent tremors from the ground. Almost everyone was unable to stay standing up.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Did we dig through the maze?" The orange haired yao had an excited expression.
"Idiot!" The other people whose expressions had changed couldn't help but curse at him simultaneously.
The shaking of the ground increased in intensity. A great noise came from deep within the ground like an ancient beast that was waking up from its slumber.
"Damn it! The ground is rising up!" The black smoke yao's expression changed dramatically.
Everyone's expressions abruptly changed!
———
With the mo appearing, Lin Qian no longer doubt that the stunning scene in front of him was a trap! That ray of light that shot straight into the sky and the vibrations that came with it was enough to show the terrifying power it contained. This power was so strong that even Lin Qian felt his heart tremble slightly. In this moment, he felt some respect for Grandmaster Shi Zi Ming who he had never met before.
In a blink, his gaze became clear again and that ripple in his mind disappeared without a trace. He did not think further on who Xiao Mo Ge was. At this moment, that was not important!
Crack!
The air around him suddenly exploded. The dense sword essence spread into the surroundings without any more concealment! In this moment, he was like a treasure sword that was drawn from its sheathe; no longer concealed its sharp edge!
Around him, every person showed excitement as their fighting spirit rose. The sword essences gave off different colors of light. Each person was like a sword wanting to drink the blood of their enemies!
"Does everyone remember the plan?" Lin Qian looked around and asked.
"Yes!" All of them were solemn.
"This mission is related to the glory and decline of our Kun Lun. We may break our bones and our bodies, but we will not retreat!" Lin Qian's expression was determined. No one could look directly at his burning eyes. He slowly drew out his flying sword.
"Will not retreat!" The group responded in unison with serious expressions. Fanatic flames flashed through their eyes as their flying swords appeared in their hands.
Lin Qian turned around and suddenly raised the flying sword in his hand. He shouted, "For Kun Lun!"
All of his ling power suddenly boiled and his presence rose to a peak. In the night, his sword essence was like a tangible burning flame. Within the darkness, in this land of the mo, he displayed his power without any fear.
Lin Qian's fighting spirit and enthusiasm infected every Kun Lun sword xiu. The fiery passion they felt caused their ling power to boil. All of their terror and timidness disappeared. Fighting spirit burned every inch of their skin and they reflexively shook.
At this moment, for Kun Lun, even if they were to die, they would not frown one bit.
They raised their flying swords in unison and shouted, "For Kun Lun!"
Before the sound dissipated, Lin Qian flew into the sky first. He turned into a sword light that tore the night sky as he shot towards the stele forest that was rising up!
The other people saw this and moved without hesitation!
In this moment, the sword howls were like a tide and the lights were like rain!
———
The force that the pillar of light gave off as it rose disturbed the air. The turbulence caused Zuo Mo's clothing to flap in the wind.
He looked down.
He saw the mo experts that were flying over, and the blinding sword lights. He saw the experts from the other sects that had sneaked into the city. That pair of emotionless eyes looked indifferently at all of this.
His mo skill had been channeled to an extreme, while his consciousness and ling power were still streaming deep into his body.
This icy world became increasingly clear in front of him.
The rest of the stele forest was continuously rising and the spot he was standing in had started to sink.
The stele in front of him was the entrance to the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion.
"Treasure Pavilion's entrance!"
Someone shouted and this caused a ruckus. The area that was sinking was very small and not even two zhang in radius.
Watching as Zuo Mo slowly sank down, the experts that were rushing forwards felt even more urgent. Even the sword lights from Kun Lun sped up and the howl from the swords increased in volume.
"Take control of the entrance!" Yu Shuang shouted.
The other mo hesitated slightly and then made their decision. They gritted their teeth and leapt at the incoming sword lights.
If Kun Lun gained control of the entrance, no one would be able to enter.
The disciples of the other three great sects moved at the same time, but their presence was lacking compared to Kun Lun. Almost all the mo targeted Kun Lun.
———
Facing the mo that was charging at him, Lin Qian was fearless. With a clear hum, the sword light grew. The high pitched howl suddenly became low and deep. Like a meteor crashing down from the sky, it smashed towards its enemies.
"Protect Eldest Shixiong!"
The sword xiu that had been following behind Lin QIan suddenly increased in speed. Like a flower blooming, they drew out elegant curves as they moved to intercept the other mo experts.
They did not pay any attention to the enemy in front of Lin Qian.
Everyone had absolute confidence in Eldest Shixiong.
The person in front of Lin Qian was Yu Shuang.
Yu Shuang's pupils contracted into pinpoints. The other did not have any room to retreat, and his sword essence was determined. He shouted, "Come!"
His body was immediately covered in green mo matrixes. The green mo matrixes were unusually beautiful, the lines thin and complex. The entire mo matrix looked like a blooming green flower.
With Yu Shuang as the center, the complex and fine blue flower m
atrix spread into the surroundings. Bright pink roses bloomed from these green matrixes and it was beautiful to see.
This was Yu Shuang's [Rose Greenery Domain]!
Suddenly, all the roses shook slightly. The petals crumbled soundlessly. In a moment, the pink roses around Yu Shuang turned into a sea of flower petals.
The pink rose petals were torn into pieces and slowly became green at a visible rate.
Woosh!
The green rose petal pieces seemed to be caught in a wind. It turned into a green flower wind that headed towards Lin Qian.
The mo that noticed this all felt their hearts shake.
Yu Shuang's first move was his famed killing move, [Green Flower Rain]!
There was a strange energy field between every green flower petal. The innumerable flowers that appeared in the flurry of petals was the result of the countless fields overlapping on each other. It formed a terrifyingly powerful bog. Once one was trapped inside it, even the strongest power would be restrained by the energy fields. It was like being trapped in a bog. The person would move slower and slower until they were unable to move.
Countless numbers of people had fallen to the [Green Flower Rain].
As Yu Shuang's power increased, and his fame spread, it was rare for people to see this Green Flower Rain.
So when the mo saw Yu Shuang's [Green Flower Rain], they became excited. The unique and strange power of [Green Flower Rain] was the bane of the sharp sword essences.
They seemed to see this sword xiu being tangled up like an insect in a spider web!
———
The fighting spirit in Lin Qian's eyes heated up.
The flying sword in his hand seemed to feel his excitement and uncontrollably hummed to respond to its master.
The flying sword in Lin Qian's hand was not an ordinary one. It was the famed sword, Tai'a. The body of the sword was like a clear spring and exceptionally nimble.
Facing the rain of green flowers coming at him, a burning light lit up at the tip of Tai'a. It seemed to be a spark created by Tai'a scraping against the air. What was strange was that the sword did not turn red, but became even clearer and transparent as though it was made of ice.
