Chapter 713: Chapter 712: Ghost Killing Yama Order
His fists flew like the wind, with a thick aura of illusion dissipating with each punch. Shi Xiaole was elusive, his attacks even more so. In the blink of an eye, six expert martial artists of the Right Sect were severely wounded by his hand.
A bright beam of finger-light broke through the air, followed by the second, third... In a short span of time, a total of twelve finger-lights attacked Shi Xiaole from all directions.
Shi Xiaole twisted his body and burst out of the finger-lights. Unexpectedly, the twelve finger-lights suddenly merged into one, forming a pillar of light. The strength of the attack actually reached the initial stage of the Fourth Tier.
Thud!
Shi Xiaole was pushed back several dozen feet.
"Haha, Lv Xiong has made his move, this youngster is in for a rotten treat!"
Some of the Right Sect members laughed loudly, but others looked on with surprise on their faces.
"Forcefully enhancing cultivation."
Shi Xiaole coldly looked at the strange youth across from him.
At the moment, the youth’s aura prominently reached the early stage of the Divine Barrier Realm in the Third Tier, making him stand out amongst the majority of high-ranking fighters in the Ninth Level.
However, Shi Xiaole clearly felt that the youth’s aura fluctuated in strength, indicating that it had been enhanced by force through some method.
"Die!"
The youth named Lv Xiong, his face flushed and veins bulging, continuously flicked his fingers, directing dozens of finger-lights rapidly at Shi Xiaole.
As the Mountain Character Scripture erupted, Shi Xiaole’s body twisted and transformed into a gigantic figure of ten feet tall. With a clasp of his giant hand, all the finger-lights crumbled like tofu, leaving the bystanders stunned.
Thump!
With a shrewd kick, Lv Xiong, one of the Right Sect’s "Five Handsome Heroes", who had forcefully enhanced his cultivation, was struck so hard in the chest that pieces of his broken liver flew out of his mouth.
A battle that astonished everyone.
Yun Chuoxi, Mo Wan, and others who knew of Shi Xiaole’s strength weren’t surprised, but the remaining people were utterly shocked, their movements noticeably slower than before.
Despite Lv Xiong being less than one hundred and fifty years old, he was a genuine Fourth Tier Earth Immortal.
The Divine Barrier Realm was not like other realms, where the older one gets, the stronger they become. On the contrary, high-ranking fighters of the Divine Barrier Realm in the Second Tier, who were older, may have a wider range of techniques, but it also meant that they had used up their potential and had limited aptitude. As a result, their strength was not at the forefront.
Among all the people in the Ninth Level, Lv Xiong’s strength was almost at the top. Yet, he was defeated by Shi Xiaole in a single move, which was absolutely shocking, wasn’t it?
"Such powerful illusion!
Some people finally realised what was going on.
The essence of illusion lies in blurring reality with falsehood. Shi Xiaole’s recent transformation had deceived most of the people present, demonstrating his high mastery of illusion.
"Any disciples of the Right Sect up for a fight?!"
Shi Xiaole strode forward, and under the combination of the initial stage of the Illusion Martial Way and the nearly complete Mountain Character Scripture, illusions surged like waves, permeating in all directions.
Right Sect martial artists within a hundred feet all found themselves immersed in various illusions. Although they knew it was all fake, they couldn’t help but indulge in them. Despite snapping out of it in an instant, they were fighting against their equals. How could they miss this opportunity?
Thud, thud, thud...
Blood splattered everywhere, mixed with screaming Right Sect martial artists and severed limbs, resonating throughout the entire Ninth Level.
"Kill!"
Under the leadership of Shi Xiaole, the Left Sect martial artists’ spirit was high, repeatedly inflicting heavy wounds on the Right Sect martial artists.
Even Yun Chuoxi personally took action, often causing people to fall to the ground without cause, clearly trying out her Poisonous Skill. Around her were Xiao Yujian, Mo Wan, and others, protecting her secretly while fighting the enemy.
Shi Xiaole was performing too strongly and quickly drew the attacks of five top fighters, two of whom were as powerful as Lv Xiong. The other three were top-ranking Third Tier Earth Immortals.
Although the Ghost Lethal Gathering advocated catching and killing opponents, when it came to the end, it would transform into massive battles within their own levels, so no one would interfere.
Actually, if Shi Xiaole were to fully exert his Illusion Way skill, he would be able to take down these five despite the effort. But doubts filled his heart, so he hid his true strength, just barely fighting evenly with the five of them, even appearing slightly weaker.
Even so, his strength still surprised the five Right Sect martial artists, making them exert more force in their attacks, hoping to kill him.
Before they realized it, the fight had continued for half of a two-hour period.
Boom!
At the horizon, a point of light suddenly grew extremely bright, even outshining the sun. A violent fluctuation occurred tens of thousands of meters in the sky, causing the people on the ground to tremble in fear, as if facing the end of the world.
The Void Origin masters of the Left and Right Sects have engaged!
Boom, boom, boom...
The clouds were torn apart, the loud noise created by the clash of the two figures each time, formed into physical sonic waves, making the group of mountains tremble incessantly. Earth Immortals from the Divine Barrier Realm could barely maintain their balance, while masters of the Dragon Gate Realm, most of them spit out fresh blood, were forced to flee far away.
As for the vigor of the vigorous air, Shi Xiaole greatly outperformed the masters of the same realm. Thus, after a slight discomfort, he was able to recover to normal. However, the five people who were fighting with him struggled to shake off this impact, producing gaps in their coordination.
Shi Xiaole also pretended to be worn out, maintaining a stalemate where neither side could gain an advantage over the other with the five.
The aerial battle that took place in the stratosphere lasted for half a 2-hour period, finally coming to an end amidst the prayers of countless people.
"Senior Brother Yao, I still can’t defeat you."
"Same here. It seems that if the two sects want to unite, we will have to wait another ten years."
"Not necessarily, Senior Brother Yao. Do you see what this is?"
"Ghost Killing Yama Order! You actually obtained it!"
High up in the sky, a voice that made the sea of clouds tremble echoed. The same trembling also affected all the people on the ground.
Who among the disciples of Ghost Lethal Sect didn’t know about the Ghost Killing Yama Order?
It represents the absolute orthodoxy of the Ghost Lethal Sect. How much effort did both sects invest to get it, only to end up in the hands of Yun Tianya?
Everyone was surprised, but none more so than Shi Xiaole.
The Ghost Killing Yama Order, wasn’t it in his possession for the Demon Alliance? Why was it in the hands of the suzerain of the Left Sect? Was it snatched away, or...
"Whoever doubts the authenticity of the order can come forward and examine it."
As the figure landed, Yun Tianya’s voice echoed throughout the field.
No one stepped forward.
Given the shrewdness of the Right Sect’s suzerain, if it were fake could he have been so astonished?
At this moment, many people understood. No wonder the Left Sect had unprecedentedly invited top figures from other forces. They were used as public witnesses to prevent the Right Sect from denying claims later.
"The Yama Order is here, witnessing it is equivalent to seeing all past masters. Senior Brother Yao, your Right Sect won’t forget your teachings, will it?"
People could not see the innermost scene, but they could imagine the hard expression on the face of Yao Guangwei, the suzerain of the Right Sect.
In terms of power, the Right Sect has been booming in recent years, half a step ahead of the Left Sect. In terms of potential, the younger generation enjoys overwhelming advantages. As time goes on, this advantage will only get greater.
Who would have ever thought that the Left Sect would make such a move?
Even one from the Devil Path wouldn’t dare to openly violate the teachings of the sect. Furthermore, the Right Sect has always prided itself on being orthodox. If they ignore the Ghost Killing Yama Order, wouldn’t it be slapping their own faces?
The scene became deadly silent, creating a sense of imminent storm.
The faces of the Right Sect’s masters were sullen, while the masters of the Left Sect were on their guard, ready for a fight at any moment.
After an unknown period of time.
"Return to the sect!"
The thunderous yell of Yao Guangwei came from within the fog, leaving the Right Sect’s masters dumbfounded and even the Left Sect’s masters startled.
However, the command was still methodically passed down. Under the urging of the Right Sect’s elders, even if they were full of doubts, the masters of the Right Sect had no choice but to withdraw.
The Left Sect likewise received orders.
"In two months, the Right Sect will officially merge into the Left Sect."
Hearing Yun Chuoxi’s words, Shi Xiaole shook his head: "Is the Right Sect willingly accepting this?"
If Yao Guangwei were replaced with Shi Xiaole, he probably wouldn’t willingly let all his efforts go to waste simply because of one token, even if there were five public witnesses on the scene.
And don’t forget, two of the public witnesses are on good terms with the Right Sect.
Right, since the Nether Demon Hall and the Hell Gate received invitations early on, wouldn’t they reveal the news to the Right Sect? In other words, was the Right Sect already prepared for today’s sudden change?
Considering that the seventh elder of the Left Sect once mentioned that the young master of the Right Sect would appear, but Shi Xiaole never found the other party, the unease in his heart grew stronger, catching a whiff of an intrigue.
Upon hearing Shi Xiaole’s words, Yun Chuoxi coldly said, "They won’t, so the next part will be a real bloody battle! Zong Wei, I hope you won’t betray me, and stand with the Left Sect."
