Chapter 71: Sword Cleansing Tone
Now, the Tongyou Institution’s most feared scenario has occurred!
Since they managed to verify the news of Kou Chongxue’s injury, they immediately waged a war against the Tongyou Peak!
That was the greatest opportunity they would get to deal a huge blow to their enemy!
When Shang Xia was slightly distracted, Liu Qinglan and Ran Biluo had nearly circled the protection formation twice!
The occasional soundwave started to become even more clear in their ears.
Shang Xia could feel his thoughts slowly falling into disarray and his inner qi started to speed up. He even had an urge to leave the Tongyou Peak to shatter the sword in Ran Biluo’s hand!
The inner qi in his body sped up and crashed against his meridians. The Yin Yang Diagram in his dantian trembled slightly, pulling everything under control.
Shang Xia returned to his senses and he was shocked by the change in his mood. He knew that there was something wrong with the soundwaves, but he was unable to defend against them anyway.
Was that the true power of an expert at the Fourth Order Primary Realm?
Could the reason behind the naming of the realm, ‘Martial Extermination Realm’ have something to do with the power of extermination they used?
The thought flashed in his mind and he continued to watch as the two of them made laps around the Tongyou Peak.
Of course, Ran Biluo was no fool. She would try her hardest to weaken the protection formation as much as she could.
The most important thing wasn’t to defeat the woman in front of her. Shang Xia knew that she was waiting for a chance for the Rose Party to make their move.
When the battle was raging, the spy from the Rose Party would take the chance to destroy the bridges connecting the peaks! They would shatter the protection formation once and for all!
Even though Shang Xia was watching the battle from inside the Shang Pavilion, he didn’t forget to pay attention to the bridge nearby.
He noticed that many cultivators were trying their hardest to suppress the rampaging inner qi in their bodies due to the soundwaves Ran Biluo emitted.
If the Rose Party used this opportunity to make their move, things would be disastrous!
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He felt that Ran Biluo’s actions were signals for the Rose Party to hurry up.
Shang Xia quickly headed over to the bridge after a short moment of contemplation.
He arrived at the bridge connecting the main peak to the Mingxiu Peak not too long after leaving the Shang Pavilion.
The Mingxiu Peak was the stronghold of the Liu Can, and due to Liu Jitang’s departure to find the Zhu Family’s inheritance, there was barely anyone left there. The institution could only send several disciples of the Protection Division over, further splitting up their strength.
At that moment, two disciples in the Martial Intent Realm who were pretty famous stood on the Mingxiu Peak. They were called Lu Yan and Ma Dengfeng respectively, and it was said that they were cultivators who didn’t come from the You Continent.
Since the collision between the worlds, there were countless powers dragged into the conflict. Cultivators of the Azure Origin World gathered at the You Continent to take on the enemy, and a huge portion of experts in the battlefield between the two worlds came from other continents.
Lu Yan and Ma Dengfeng stared at the battle raging outside and they gasped in shock. They weren’t as affected as the rest of the disciples, and they could even joke around with each other.
“We won’t be able to catch an exchange between two Martial Extermination Realm cultivators in our Ji Continent. Even if there was a battle, they would exchange a few blows before stopping… Brother Ma, what do you think?”
Lu Yan seemed much more excited compared to Ma Dengfeng.
“Brother Lu, have you seen exchanges between Martial Extermination Realm cultivators in our Ji Continent?” Ma Dengfeng asked in response.
“Yeah. However, they stopped after some time. There wasn’t any killing intent at all!” Lu Yan chuckled. He seemed to have thought of something and he sighed the next moment, “When our worlds collided, the number of cultivators in the You Continent reduced drastically. All of them went to war with the Azure Spiritual World. The Tongyou Institution that stands as their pillar of strength might look like it’s struggling to hold its own, but we cannot underestimate them. Unlike our continents where there are many factions, the Tongyou Institution has so few cultivators it almost seems pitiful! However, every single one of them is a terrifying beast when it comes to battle. The cultivators from our continents will never be comparable to them.”
Me Dengfeng sighed, “That’s true… They mature extremely quickly!”
Lu Yan didn’t think too much of Ma Dengfeng’s tone, and he continued, “The news of Patriarch Kou’s injury has already spread through the lands. The Four Spiritual Peak wouldn’t miss this chance to flatten our Tongyou Peak. Two experts at the Fourth Order Primary Realm revealed themselves, and there will definitely be more coming over soon. I wonder if the institution managed to think of a countermeasure… The appearance of Liu Qinglan is shocking enough!”
Ma Dengfeng stared at Lu Yan from the corner of his eye. “Brother Lu, aren’t you afraid that the Tongyou Peak would be defeated? Even with Liu Qinglan, the Four Spiritual Peak has way more experts at the Martial Extermination Realm than us!”
“What’s there to worry about? Even if Patriarch Kou is seriously injured, our two deputy patriarchs Shang Bo and Yun Jing hadn’t made an appearance! With the protection formation to assist them, we won’t be in any danger even if they’re stronger than us!”
Ma Dengfeng laughed helplessly, “Brother Lu, you’re too naive. If Shang Bo and Yun Jing came over, wouldn’t the institution be defenseless?”
Raising an eyebrow, Lu Yan snorted, “So what if it is? Are the cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak going to teleport into the city to attack them?”
Ma Dengfeng snapped back to attention. It seemed as though Lu Yan didn’t know as much as him! He had no idea that the Rose Party was playing a part in the battle, and from what it looked like, the higher ups of the Tongyou Institution didn’t wish for that to be widespread knowledge!
As for the reason behind Ma Dengfeng’s knowledge…
“It’s really scary to be ignorant…” Ma Dengfeng whispered into Lu Yan’s ear.
Turning around, a trace of confusion could be seen on Lu Yan’s face. “What do you mean by that?”
“Well, an ignorant bastard like you can go to hell now!” Ma Dengfefng said as he punched straight into Lu Yan’s chest.
Lu Yan didn’t expect that his fellow disciple would sneak attack him. He couldn’t protect himself in time, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. “Why… Why…”
Gasping for breath, he forced the words out of his mouth.
Ma Dengfeng looked at Lu Yan with a pitiful expression on his face. “Sorry. Brother Lu, you should know that my name is Sima Dengfeng!”
“You… You… You’re part of the Evil Remnants…” Lu Yan propped himself up with his fist and cried.
Sima Dengfeng sneered, “Looks like you know about us. Too bad you have no idea what the Rose Party is. Otherwise, you would have known that Shang Bo and Yun Jing had to remain in the institution.”
Lu Yan wanted to say something else, but blood was the only thing that came out of his lips.
Sima Dengfeng sighed softly, “Brother Lu, my condolences.”
After he spoke, he flicked his finger and a trace of inner qi shot towards Lu Yan’s eyebrows.
Realizing that his fate was sealed, Lu Yan closed his eyes slowly. However, a soft ring came from beside him and he heard Sima Dengfeng’s cry of surprise.
Forcing his eyes open, he saw a slender figure standing in front of him with a thin sword in her hand.
Every time she slashed out, she would draw the image of a plum blossom in the air. The plum blossom wouldn’t fade immediately as it contained some of her martial intent. It didn’t take long before she drew three plum blossoms in the air and they bloomed in unison. It didn’t stop there as three more appeared.
Before long, nine plum blossoms circled around Sima Dengfeng and they forced him into a corner.
“Who are you?!” Sima Dengfeng screamed in terror.
“Mu Jianyin of the Outreach Division!” Her voice rang in his ears.
The plum blossoms exploded as soon as she spoke and nine rays of sword qi stabbed towards him.
“Clang!”
The bridge connecting the two peaks trembled violently suddenly and Mu Jianyin’s expression sank. She stared in the direction of the main peak and a frown found its way onto her face.
