Chapter 369: Chapter 367: Fighting Tu Shanhe
A brilliant sword light stretched across Martial Saint Mountain.
Four-colored light pulsed erratically, like four resplendent, dazzling rainbows spanning the Celestial Vault, connecting the heavens and the earth!
Within the merciless vortex of this four-colored light, the Ghost Qi surrounding Ghost Mother Lishan was annihilated. A powerhouse of the Union Palace Realm as mighty as she was could not withstand Jiang Chen’s incomparably domineering strike, becoming another soul claimed by his sword!
"Ghost Mother Lishan is dead?"
"This kid is a monster! That’s three titans he’s killed today, isn’t it?"
"He’s absolutely terrifying!"
On Martial Saint Mountain, the experts were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape as if they could swallow two eggs.
Their eyes flickered with profound shock and disbelief.
A young Venerable!
After breaking through to the Union Palace Realm, he had actually slain three titans in a row.
Such a battle record was the stuff of legends!
Mu Feiyang, who had been barely holding on against Bai Lingfei, also heard the commotion. His eyes darted toward where Ghost Mother Lishan had been. Seeing that not even her bones remained, his pupils contracted violently. "Fuck, even Ghost Mother Lishan is dead? What’s the point of fighting anymore?"
Mu Feiyang could already see Jiang Chen approaching through the air, sword in hand.
One Bai Lingfei was already more than he could handle.
If this Evil Star Jiang Chen was added to the mix, what good could possibly come of his fate?
"Tu Shanhe, if you don’t make a move, I’m leaving!" Mu Feiyang immediately roared.
In the distance.
Tu Shanhe’s expression flickered, alternating between cloudy and clear. He took a deep breath, brought both hands before him, and slapped his Storage Ring.
Instantly, a blood-red Token appeared.
The Token was carved with dragons and phoenixes, giving it an exceptionally ancient feel. In the center, between two coiled Azure Dragons, was a Dragon Pearl wreathed in crimson flames. Within the Dragon Pearl was an archaic character for "Saint"!
"Saint Martial Blood Order, reinforce the Array!"
A pained look flashed across Tu Shanhe’s face. Gritting his teeth, he condensed a drop of Essence Blood on his fingertip and fused it into the blood-red Token.
The Token immediately flew out on its own, hovering above the Grand Array that trapped Yuwen Zheng and the others. Its blood-red brilliance reinforced the Grand Array, preventing them from breaking free.
"Hmph. To think you’d force me to use a drop of my Life Essence Blood. Jiang Chen, oh, Jiang Chen... after I capture you, I will wring every last secret from your body before I obliterate you. Not just your body—your very soul will be wiped from this world..." Tu Shanhe’s face was grim as he strode through the air.
SWOOSH...
He instantly appeared between Mu Feiyang and Bai Lingfei.
Bai Lingfei’s brow twitched. His Nine-Ringed Golden Threaded Great Ring Saber slashed through the air, carving a resplendent golden arc as it chopped toward Tu Shanhe.
"Middle Stage of the Eighth Stage of Union Palace Realm? No wonder you never made a move. There were even faint rumors that you were the weakest Hall Master among the Ten Halls. It seems that was all just a ploy to mislead everyone."
Tu Shanhe shot Bai Lingfei a cold glance and shook his head with profound disdain and mockery. "In truth, all of your schemes were pointless. If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as slaughtering chickens. Back then, when I killed your grandmaster, Bai Changsheng, I spared your Bai Clan of the Tenth Hall out of respect for our old ties. Today, since you dare to defy me, I have no choice but to solve this problem once and for all and eliminate any future trouble!"
The moment his voice fell, a red light suddenly shot up from behind Tu Shanhe, materializing into a massive, blood-colored sword.
Intricate, ancient, and profound golden runes flowed across the blood-red greatsword, emitting a faint golden glow.
"Saint Martial Origin Slash—"
Celestial Tier High-level Sword Technique—the *Saint Martial Sword Technique*.
This was the ultimate treasure of the Saint Martial Sword Sect. Only the Sect Master of each generation could cultivate this Sword Technique. It was incomparably powerful; a single slash could make even a titan’s heart tremble.
BOOM—
The peerless, blood-red Giant Sword slammed heavily onto the Nine-Ringed Golden Threaded Great Ring Saber.
CRACK!
The golden arc of the saber was shattered by the single sword strike.
The blood-red sword light continued unabated, hurtling straight for Bai Lingfei’s chest.
"S-So powerful..." Bai Lingfei’s expression changed drastically.
His opponent had only used a single sword technique, yet it gave him the feeling that he couldn’t possibly defend against it.
Before he could think any further, the blood-red greatsword had already come crashing down.
Bai Lingfei raised his Battle Blade with both hands to block his chest. With a deafening DONG, the Nine-Ringed Golden Threaded Great Ring Saber was knocked from his grasp by the sword. Bai Lingfei was sent flying backward, a spray of blood erupting from his chest. A gruesome gash ran from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, the flesh split open in a particularly ghastly sight.
The might of a single sword strike was just that terrifying!
They were both titans!
Yet Bai Lingfei couldn’t even block one of Tu Shanhe’s attacks!
At the side, Mu Feiyang’s eyes flashed with disbelief. He stared at Tu Shanhe as if looking at a monster and gulped hard. "T-Tu Shanhe, y-y-you’ve already reached the Union Palace Realm Ninth Stage?"
"That’s right!"
Tu Shanhe nodded nonchalantly, then a look of pride and absolute confidence appeared on his face as he said, "I reached the Union Palace Realm Ninth Stage long ago!"
"Excellent! Since you’re at the Union Palace Realm Ninth Stage, these little bastards are no match for us!" Mu Feiyang said with an excited expression.
He had felt utterly stifled being suppressed by Bai Lingfei earlier.
Tu Shanhe looked indifferent and said flatly, "Mu Feiyang, Bai Lingfei is now injured by me. He is definitely no longer your match. You go deal with him. As for Jiang Chen, leave him to me!"
"Alright!"
Mu Feiyang nodded and charged toward Bai Lingfei.
"Protect Hall Master Bai!"
"Don’t you dare harm Hall Master Bai!"
Bai Ling, Bai Hu, Di Tian, and the others’ expressions changed as they rushed over, attempting to block Mu Feiyang.
Mu Feiyang sneered. "A bunch of ants dare to stand in my way? Scram!"
A great wind rose, and the clouds scattered!
He thrust a palm toward the void, condensing a torrential downpour of Palm Seals that rained down.
Di Tian and the others immediately activated their defenses.
But their cultivation was ultimately too weak. Aside from Di Tian and Lui Yifa, the others couldn’t even withstand a single move from Mu Feiyang and were sent flying back, severely injured.
A black True Dragon coiled around Di Tian’s body.
Its head was ferocious as it breathed out black light, and a layer of black, Dragon-shaped Armor protected him.
It prevented Mu Feiyang’s attacks from harming him.
As for Lui Yifa, he was bathed in lightning. His physique was countless times stronger than before, in no way inferior to a Celestial-tier Profound Weapon. With the enhancement and protection of the lightning, the chaotic volley of attacks failed to injure him.
But as the attacks grew more frantic, Lui Yifa’s expression turned increasingly grim. A trace of anxiety filled his eyes. ’Dammit... I can’t hold on much longer like this. And Boss... he’s facing Tu Shanhe, a Union Palace Realm Ninth Stage expert. There’s no way he can beat him! Why haven’t Master and Elder Qii shown up yet? Are they really going to wait until we’re all dead before they appear?’
He had been brought to the Saint Martial Sword Sect by Qii Daotian and his master.
But after entering Martial Saint Mountain, the two of them had departed, leaving only Lui Yifa to rush to Jiang Chen’s aid.
Now, with Tu Shanhe about to personally strike at Jiang Chen, Qii Daotian and his master had yet to appear, making Lui Yifa extremely anxious.
BOOM! BOOM!
Two surging waves of power struck without warning, like two great mountains slamming into them. Lui Yifa and Di Tian were sent flying back at the same time, spitting blood.
Mu Feiyang laughed maniacally. "A bunch of ants! Die!"
A chilling palm light suppressed the heavens and earth as it shot toward Lui Yifa and Di Tian.
Just then...
Bai Lingfei had already stabilized his injuries. He charged forward, brandishing his Nine-Ringed Golden Threaded Great Ring Saber, its light flashing like a bolt of silk as he slashed at Mu Feiyang.
The two became locked in combat.
As for the other side...
Tu Shanhe, filled with cold killing intent, was now personally making his move against Jiang Chen!
