Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Chapter 124 The Battle of the Martial Sect

Yun Huizi sighed and closed his eyes.

But after waiting for a long time, no pain came.

Opening his eyes, he saw that Xu Zhao was actually facing away from him, his posture upright, gripping the Heart-Questioning Hammer tightly as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, he was seriously injured and could barely prop himself up halfway, so he had no strength left to get past Xu Zhao and see what was going on ahead.

It's inconvenient for him, but convenient for Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng was currently in the woods more than 30 feet away, which was quite far from the two of them. Being far away, he could naturally see the scene in front of him.

Not far in front of Xu Zhao, Yun Lingzi slowly walked along the official road.

We are now on the outskirts of Lingbi Mountain. The mountain wind blows from a distance, carrying soil, stones, and bits of grass.

However, once they reached a distance of one zhang from Yun Lingzi, everything seemed to suddenly enter a layer of void and abruptly stopped.

Dust, sand, grass, and gravel all hovered in mid-air and on the ground, and even the invisible wind seemed to have a trace now.

Lu Cheng could not describe this feeling.

Even though they couldn't see it, they knew that the wind had been "fixed" around Yun Lingzi.

After Qingdao Yunlingzi passed by, things in that area returned to normal.

Lu Cheng, who was far away, didn't even have time to catch his breath. He was completely focused on the two people, or more precisely, Yun Lingzi.

Compared to Yun Lingzi's methods, the so-called "breath control" seems rather childish.

Finally, Yun Lingzi stopped ten steps away from Xu Zhao and asked with a complicated expression, "Junior Brother Xu, if you are dissatisfied with the sect, you can leave. No one is stopping you. Why do you have to destroy the Dongyang Sect?"

Upon hearing Yun Lingzi's voice, Yun Huizi felt a sense of relief and could no longer hold on, fainting with a "plop".

Xu Zhao did not answer immediately, watching Yun Lingzi approach step by step with full vigilance.

Only after Yun Lingzi stopped did she speak: "Aren't you afraid that coming out of seclusion now will ruin the nurturing of the Taihe Sword?"

Yun Lingzi sighed and slowly said, "Junior Brother Xu, considering our forty years of being fellow disciples, I will give you three options."

,

First, return the Heart-Questioning Hammer, seal your cultivation, and never step out of Heart-Questioning Peak again in this lifetime.

"Second, return the Heart-Questioning Hammer and leave the sect. From now on, the Dongyang Sect will be your enemy, not your friend."

,

Xu Zhao sneered. Even though Yun Lingzi hadn't said it, Xu Zhao knew what the third point was.

The dark purple light emanating from the hammer held in his right hand grew increasingly intense, and its radiance spread outwards.

It quickly connected with him, and the man and the hammer seemed to be enveloped in purple chalcedony.

"Stop talking nonsense, just go straight to the third option."

,

"Which divine weapon did you retrieve? The Qianyang Spear? Or the Guiyuan Sword?"

The two items Xu Zhao mentioned were the only three usable Earthly Fiend Divine Weapons, including the Heart-Questioning Hammer in his hand.

Because it had no master, the Earthly Fiend Divine Weapon lacked the refinement and tempering.

Once it is taken out and refined, it needs to be nurtured again. The price Yun Lingzi paid this time was considerable.

"Sigh—" Yun Lingzi sighed again and closed her eyes.

Everything around him that had been still suddenly began to resume, spinning rapidly around him.

Gradually, a faint blue hue appeared from the void, joining the surrounding rotation.

Then the deep blue color intensified, gradually forming a blue light shield.

"This is—" Xu Zhao was puzzled for a moment, then his expression changed, and he looked quite incredulous. "The Taihe Sword! You're going to use the Taihe Sword?"

"That's right, you don't have time to refine the other two divine weapons, you can only use the Taihe Sword!"

'

"But in this way, the Taihe Sword will be completely destroyed, and the Dongyang Sect will lose another divine weapon."

"Senior Brother Yunling, you are the most ruthless one!"

'

Yun Lingzi suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily, "Enough nonsense! I'll ask you one last time, are you going to return the Heart-Questioning Hammer or not?"

In response, Xu Zhao let out a cold laugh: "Fine, I'd like to see how much power this damaged Taihe Sword can unleash!"

""

He said that, but he was on high alert.

Yun Lingzi was at the late stage of Qi Refining, and with the help of Han Lingxiao and Yun Xiazi, his refinement of the Taihe Sword was extraordinary.

If Xu Zhao hadn't clearly known the extent of the damage to the Taihe Sword, he would have turned and run away at this moment.

But now that we know—

Xu Zhao narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Yun Lingzi's hand.

At that moment, neither of them spoke, but their eyes conveyed a great deal of information to each other.

Xu Zhao's eyes blazed with a defiant roar: "Three sword strikes! In the current state of the Taihe Sword, you can only unleash three strikes at most. After those three strikes, no one will be able to stop me!"

Yun Lingzi sighed repeatedly, "Junior Brother Xu, I thought of everyone, but I never thought it would be you."

Yun Lingzi was nearly twenty years older than Xu Zhao. The two of them, along with Han Lingxiao, were not from the Eleventh Lineage, so they naturally felt close to each other.

Although they haven't stood out within the sect for the past forty years, the three have secretly formed an alliance.

"I've endured for decades, I don't want to end up like you, enduring for decades more, only to be sent to the Five Continents battlefield! Enough talk, draw your sword!"

Yun Lingzi said no more, her gaze changed, and she looked at Xu Zhao as if he were a dead man.

He slowly raised his right hand and softly uttered, "Sword, come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of brilliant light suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of Taihe Peak in Dongying Sect.

The beam of light shot straight into the sky, even shattering the gray clouds.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng saw the same scene of a long rainbow streaking across the sky again.

In an instant, a stream of light, black with a hint of blue, traversed a distance of thirty miles and pierced directly into Yun Lingzi's head.

A long sword suddenly appeared in Yun Lingzi's previously empty right hand.

However, the Taihe Sword at this time was vastly different from the original.

What was originally a long sword covered in cracks has now shattered into dozens of pieces.

The sword's body was maintained entirely by those streaks of dark blue light.

But in Lu Cheng's eyes, it was no longer a sword, but a weapon that sent chills down one's spine at the mere sight of it.

After the longsword condensed, Yun Lingzi did not hesitate or pause at all.

His right hand slashed forward with a "whoosh".

Xu Zhao immediately grabbed the hammer with both hands and swung it back to block.

Two orbs of light, one deep blue and the other dark purple, suddenly collided.

In an instant, an area of ​​several dozen feet seemed to fall into absolute stillness; the wind stopped, the sound disappeared, and even the light seemed to stop spreading.

Lu Cheng felt an overwhelming gravity suddenly strike him, the surrounding air so thick that it was difficult to breathe, and even blinking became difficult.

Just as Lu Cheng was about to catch his breath, the surrounding air suddenly relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar was heard.

"when!

'

The air vibrated violently.

Lu Cheng had just taken a puff when the shockwave suddenly made his vision go black.

My soul trembled, and I felt nauseous with a tightness in my chest.

Looking at the arena again, the ground beneath Yun Lingzi and Xu Zhao's feet had sunk more than three feet.

Countless spiderweb-like cracks extended more than ten feet away before disappearing.

The unconscious Yun Huizi had been thrown to an unknown location.

Is this a half-step Martial Grandmaster?

How could such an incredible level be achieved with just one weapon?

No wonder Yun Huizi, who overpowered Tu Yuan and Shen Yi, was nearly killed after just two blows.

Before Lu Cheng could recover, he saw Yun Lingzi slowly rise into the air, her right hand raised again.

Again!

Lu Cheng immediately circulated his qi and blood throughout his body, covered his ears with his hands, and only left a slit in his eyes to watch the battle.

Thump!

'

The sword and the hammer clashed once more.

This time, although the shock was still intense, Lu Cheng was prepared and did not feel as bad as before.

After a slight shock, I recovered.

It seems that a winner has been decided between Yun Lingzi and Xu Zhao.

Yun Lingzi unleashed two consecutive sword strikes, but nothing unusual happened.

Xu Zhao had already fallen from mid-air into the pit on the ground. His clothes could not even fully cover his vital parts. The light of the Heart-Questioning Hammer in his hand had dimmed considerably, and the originally rich purple light around him had almost disappeared. Strands of blood flowed out from his seven orifices.

Seeing Yun Lingzi raise her right hand again, Xu Zhao chuckled, the laughter growing louder until it turned into a wild, unrestrained laugh.

After the laughter stopped, he slammed his left hand on the ground and his body shot up to the same height as Yun Lingzi.

Then, his aura suddenly changed. His body first became strong as if inflated, then quickly shrank, and his full head of black hair suddenly turned white.

However, the Heart-Questioning Hammer in his hand emitted an even more intense purple light than before.

Then he took the initiative to wield the hammer and smashed it towards Yun Lingzi.

"Take this hammer blow too!"

"Stubborn fool!" Yun Lingzi roared angrily upon seeing this, and a long sword suddenly appeared in front of his chest.

He placed his hands together, one above the other, and rapidly channeled his vital energy into the Taihe Sword before charging forward with a thunderous roar.

"boom!

'

The sword and hammer clashed with a thunderous crash.

At the point of impact, purple and blue light shields were generated on both sides respectively.

Behind the purple light shield, Xu Zhao held the hammer in both hands and roared as he continued to pour in his vital energy.

Behind the blue light shield, Yun Lingzi was much more composed, placing his hands on the hilt of the Taihe Sword and slowly pressing forward.

Under Yun Lingzi's pressure, the purple light shield gradually shrank and finally shattered with a bang.

The blue light continued its momentum, passing directly through Xu Zhao's body.

Xu Zhao's body trembled, and the purple aura around him suddenly dissipated.

The Heart-Questioning Hammer in his hand also transformed into a purple light and returned to his body.

He fell from the sky into the pit and remained motionless.

To Lu Cheng's surprise, the Taihe Sword, suspended in mid-air, resembled ice and snow under the blazing sun, with streaks of dark blue rising from its blade.

Yun Lingzi's expression changed drastically. He didn't have time to deliver a final blow to Xu Zhao. He hurriedly summoned the Taihe Sword back into his hand, fell from the air, sat cross-legged, and did his best to stabilize the sword.

Inside the pit, Xu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, forcefully gathered his energy to stand up, glanced at Yun Lingzi, chuckled, and his body transformed into a phantom as he quickly fled.

Yun Lingzi glanced at Xu Zhao, then helplessly closed her eyes again.

However, the blue light rising from the sword grew thicker and thicker.

Finally, the entire sword suddenly emitted a tremor and "bang," transforming into a cloud of smoke that dyed a large part of the sky blue.

Yun Lingzi couldn't hold on any longer either. She coughed up a large amount of blood and visibly weakened, even finding it difficult to get up for a moment.

Lu Cheng, who was not far away, glanced at Yun Lingzi, then looked in the direction Xu Zhao had left, and sighed softly.

He darted out, threw three Lesser Rejuvenation Pills at Yun Lingzi, and then quickly headed towards Dongyang County City.

The show's over, time to get down to business.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Cheng returned to Dongyang County and immediately rushed to You Fuxing's courtyard.

Upon arriving in the southern part of the city, while passing through the eleventh ward of the Li family, I smelled a bloody stench. Looking around, I discovered a small pool of blood at the entrance of an alley.

A drop of blood was visible every few steps, extending all the way into the Eleventh Ward.

Lu Cheng's heart stirred, and he reached out and touched the blood, only to find that the blood was still slightly warm.

Lu Cheng remembered what Ge Long had said: You Fuxing and the others had another place nearby.

Xu Zhao obviously needed a secluded place to go into seclusion.

Without saying a word, Lu Cheng concealed his aura and walked into the Seventeenth Ward.
