281 The Messenger of the Sea Slashing Tower Has Arrived!
“Die, evil demon!”
At that moment, the sword light in the hands of the Vast Sea Palace Master cut through the smoke and dust. With great power, his spiritual power attacked the Snake and Scorpion duo like a tide.
The sword radiance seemed to contain the rolling world. It transcended time and condensed into a sword nark. As it streaked across the sky, it caused the surrounding vegetation to wither instantly. It rapidly expanded to a radius of a hundred miles, and all life was instantly cut off.
Whoosh!
As the Vast Sea Palace Master swung his sword, he looked at Wu Tianzong and A’Duru with a gaze that was filled with killing intent. Spiritual energy surged around him and he said in a low voice, “A thousand years of spring and autumn pass by the clouds, hundred generations of sun and moon change the sky. When the human world is lonely, the white dew will fill the cup.”
“Not good, it’s the Twenty-Four Swords!” Wu Tianzong’s expression suddenly changed. His hands formed the Acala Seal, and his bronze-colored skin suddenly glowed with a blinding golden light. It was as if his entire body was cast from iron and copper. His eyes were wide open, like an angry Vajra. However, the dark evil light produced by the demonic sect’s technique distorted his Buddhist nature.
The golden light around his body gathered in the air to form a barrier as solid as a rock. It blocked all the sharp Sword Qi that swept over, leaving behind traces of sword marks.
But even so, he still could not block the sword of Vast Sea Palace Master.
On the sword mark, the will of time seeped and engraved, disintegrating the Acala Seal in an instant, and cracks appeared.
Wu Tianzong’s expression turned even uglier. However, the giant snake on his shoulder was not simple either. It was a living poison refined by the demonic Poison Sect. It used flesh and blood as nourishment. The more people it ate, the more poisonous it would be. At this moment, Wu Tianzong reached out and grabbed it, throwing it toward the Vast Sea Palace Master.
“Hiss!” The giant snake opened its mouth, and a thick, pitch-black poisonous arrow shot out from its white fangs.
At the same time, the ‘Scorpion Beauty’ A’Duru finally made her move. With a seductive smile, she took out a red sandalwood lute decorated with spiral patterns. She plucked the five strings and rang them.
The beauty’s waist twisted slightly, and the scorpion’s tail, coupled with the joints, made a strange and powerful cracking sound. It was enough to make those with insufficient cultivation bleed from their seven orifices and explode their five senses, killing them.
“Isn’t it too stupid to use such a small trick to deal with the people from Jade Mirage?” Vast Sea Palace Master sneered.
The cultivation technique of the Jade Mirage Sect was called the ‘Shangqing Tianyan Heart Calming Treasure Record’, which emphasized the heart calming the most. This kind of sound attack that disturbed the mind was like a punch on cotton without any feedback, except for stirring the Qi and Blood slightly. It was a pure waste of energy.
His long sword struck out again. The sharp edge of the sword was completely different from the Sword Intent which was like a spring breeze and rain just now. It was like a fierce winter wind that suddenly arrived. With a whooshing sound, it instantly shattered A’Duru’s lute sound!
“Pfft!” A’Duru vomited blood and flew backward. She rolled three times on the ground, but the corners of her mouth curled up into a fierce smile.
Her body flipped, and the moment she landed on the ground, she twisted her waist and flicked her scorpion tail, shooting out a long blue needle.
At this moment, Vast Sea Palace Master was chanting the protective spell ‘Clear Wind and Bright Moon’ to melt the poisonous arrow. He was caught off guard and the poisonous needle that had gathered all of A’Duru’s power broke through his protective spiritual energy and pierced his shoulder.
His expression suddenly changed. He covered the wound on his shoulder and immediately used his spiritual power to search, but he found that the poison needle was like a drop of rain entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.
A’Duru fell to the ground after shooting the poisonous needle and no longer had the strength to fight. Seeing his ugly expression, she laughed and mocked, “Hehehe… Who’s the idiot here? When we came to deal with you, we naturally studied your personality. Being headstrong and self-opinionated is your greatest weakness!”
Vast Sea Palace Master glared at her coldly. In a battle, they only sought for a split second of weakness and staked everything on one attack. This was a bunch of lunatics from the demonic sect! Yet, they had succeeded!
The spiritual power in his body had already begun to turn chaotic, and his body had begun to numb. Although it was definitely much weaker than the poisonous fog that Xu Xinhong had transformed into, it was still not to be underestimated.
Wu Tianzong laughed out loud. “Hahahaha, good! Zhi Chunqiu, you have been poisoned by the Xuanming Marrow-Devouring Poison and have lost an arm of the Jade Mirage Sect. The three of us can die with no regrets. The Holy Church will rise! The Holy Maiden will be in power, hahaha… Oh!”
As he laughed, he was stabbed in the chest by the Vast Sea Palace Master. In an instant, his cultivation was broken. The golden light dimmed and his skin became loose. Then, his face became old and his body withered. He gradually aged and struggled helplessly. In the end, he could only stare helplessly at the sky and die.
Thud.
The abandoned disciple of Kongtong Temple fell to the ground and died, while A’Duru had already stopped breathing.
Vast Sea Palace Master snorted coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned the two corpses into ashes. Suddenly, his face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blue blood.
“Xuanming Marrow-Devouring Poison…” His expression was uncertain. He sat down to meditate and called for the disciples in the palace to come over.
The surroundings were a mess, and there were traces of battle everywhere.
The second level of Jade Mirage Mountain had almost been turned into ruins under the fierce attack of the demonic sect. A large number of disciples had been held hostage by the demonic sect and used as a threat. This restricted the Jade MIrage Sect and eventually caused the matter to drag on.
However, although the three experts at the Form Synthesis stage were strong, they were only from a demonic cult’s sub-altar. They could not really deal significant damage to the Jade Mirage Sect. Most of the reason for this was actually the three Jade Mirage Palaces’ plan to delay the time.
Originally, they naturally hoped that this matter would be resolved as soon as possible. After all, the most important thing was to arrest Ling Hua and the ‘demonic man of the demon race’ Liu Yuan and to continue the impartation and stone tablet rubbing ceremony.
However, ever since the second formation lost its effect for some reason, the seven great sects impeached the Jade Mirage sect collectively and the green centipede came to investigate. After a series of events, the Jade Mirage Daoist sect had no choice but to get caught up in the ‘battle’ with the demonic sect.
But even so, those sects actually said that everyone is on the Righteous Path. They could not just sit by and do nothing. They moved immediately and sent people to help!
The people from the various sects who had come to ‘help’ had just arrived at Jade Mirage Mountain yesterday and were settled down. However, no matter how one looked at it, they were just here to watch and laugh. They did not help at all.
They naturally knew very well that the Jade Mirage Sect had not made a move because they had a guilty conscience.
This time, Vast Sea Palace Master had finally decided to make a move. He had come with the intention of ‘mutual destruction’ with these three people and try to stall for some time. However, who would have thought that these people from the demonic sect would suddenly become so determined and launch a suicide attack? Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he had also gotten himself into trouble.
Now that the three of them were dead, the anxiety between the Jade Mirage Sect and the demonic sect disappeared. They had to face the doubts of the other sects about Ling Hua…
Vast Sea Palace Master’s brows were tightly furrowed. He was filled with anger when he heard the voices of people. He opened his eyes and saw that there was a huge crowd in front of him.
In order to heal his injuries and suppress the spread of the poison, he did not use his divine sense to investigate. Thus, he only realized now that these people had been here for a long time.
But then, Vast Sea Palace Master was stunned. Not only were there people from the Vast Sea Palace, there were also people from the other palaces. The unconscious Ling Yu was being helped up by old man Sheng’e to heal her injuries. Other than that, there were even people from the other sects!
The Wugou family, the Xuanyin family, the Taiqing Pavilion, the Sword Pavilion, the Heart Sword sect, the Xiangsi Sect, and the Solitary Cloud Peak were all present. At a glance, one was reminded of the grand siege on the demonic sect back then. It was extremely lively, and no one knew when they had all gathered on the second level of the Jade Mirage Mountain.
Vast Sea Palace Master was stunned again. Didn’t the people of these sects all stay in the guest rooms on the top of Jade Mirage Mountain? why did they all come down?
“Palace Master, you’re awake!”
Someone called out from the side. After that, a large group of people swarmed over and asked about the Vast Sea Palace Master’s well-being. They also asked about his injuries and boasted without restraint.
He held back his churning Qi and blood, and his chest was unusually stuffy. He raised his hand to silence them and said, “What is this? Why did you all come down?”
The person beside him was his disciple, who had been hesitating to say something earlier. He immediately said, “Palace Master, the Sea Slashing Tower suddenly said that they’re sending a messenger! And, and they’ve already arrived!”
“The Sea Slashing Tower?” Vast Sea Palace Master suspected that he had been poisoned too deeply and that something was wrong with his ears.
The lively crowd of various sects suddenly separated, and a figure in a black cloak holding a walking stick appeared. His hand was covered with silver-blue scales, and no one knew when he had appeared, but he exuded a terrifying aura, making everyone’s face change.
Vast Sea Palace Master could not care less about his injuries as he stood up, his pupils contracting. “Crossing Calamity stage???!!!”
