Chapter 307: Lei Jun's Heavenly Flying Sword (Part 2)
Chapter 307: Lei Jun's Heavenly Flying Sword (Part 2)
He might even be sent to a remote position.
What a pity. Before this trip, he had been in a very favorable position, already ahead of Huang Tian and the others.
All he needed was a great victory in this battle, and upon returning to the court, he would have successfully advanced further in his career.
But now, all of that was gone, and he even faced danger himself.
Thinking of this, Gu Hai hated Qin Wu, Qi Haowei, and the others even more.
He still didn't know that Qi Haowei had surrendered to the Great Tang, or else he would have breathed a sigh of relief, glad that there was someone more suitable to take the blame.
But even if that were the case, Gu Hai's immediate concern was still how to return to Tianli and how to turn the situation around for himself.
"Prepare the ritual offerings to attract and mobilize the pseudo-Tang people. Then, we'll use a covert strategy to pass through from the front."
Gu Hai gave his orders, and his followers immediately began to prepare. Then, he personally presided over the ritual.
The night sky had not yet faded, but the dense ink-black qi in the sky became even deeper and darker, enveloping the surrounding area.
With the ritual offerings, the spiritual energy of the Four Directions was immediately stirred.
Some Great Tang cultivators sensed the changes here and quickly approached.
Gu Hai and the others took this opportunity to leave the area of the ritual offerings far behind. Then, they intended to bypass from the front and head towards the 'door' in the vast sea that led back to Tianli.
At first, everything went smoothly, but as they walked, Gu Hai, who had presided over the ritual, suddenly sensed something amiss.
He turned his head and saw that as the dense ink-black qi spread, it conflicted and collided with something beneath the seawater.
Under the sea, it seemed that a reef had come to life under the impact of the dense ink-black qi.
"Hmm?" Gu Hai's eyes narrowed.
As a Seventh Heaven Confucian scholar, he had cultivated his spiritual sight. Immediately, he discerned that it was a Taoist treasure.
The treasure brought the soil to life, emanating a dull yellow spiritual light, simulating a reef at the bottom of the sea, as if it had become one with it.
A Taoist priest was hiding beneath the sea, using this treasure as cover.
Previously, he had hidden quite well, but at this moment, Gu Hai had just performed a ritual, and the spreading ink-black qi had forced the treasure to defend itself, thus revealing its presence.
The person hiding there was naturally Chu Kun.
Chu Kun also cursed his bad luck inwardly.
He had been hiding, sometimes moving, and had always hidden himself well. He had even gained some small opportunities and made abundant harvests.
Who would have thought that at the last moment, he would fail?
When Gu Hai saw Chu Kun in his deep red Taoist robe, his eyes lit up.
A Taoist priest from Longhushan Celestial Master's Mansion.
At the moment, this group was quite eye-catching to Tianli.
In that False Ming Dynasty world, in Tianli, Longhushan Celestial Master's Mansion had basically become a thing of history.
Until this time, they had first been stirred up by a female Taoist from Longhushan who intruded into Tianli, causing an uproar.
After finally repelling the female Taoist, they began their counterattack on the Great Tang, only to be struck down again.
Another Taoist priest from Longhushan boldly killed Wang Feng, a high-ranking member of the Wu faction.
Including Gu Hai, the entire Wu faction was shocked by this.
Previously, Elder Gu had been thinking of finding that Taoist priest, but he had never discovered Lei Jun's whereabouts.
It was only during his escape after Tianli's defeat that he accidentally heard some rumors mentioning that Lei Jun had originally been sealed in a certain area of the sea due to the backlash from breaking a ritual.
However, the two sides were far apart at the moment, and Gu Hai could not spare the time.
Moreover, he heard that the area was guarded by Seventh Heaven Buddhist monks.
Although Gu Hai didn't put the monks of the Seventh Heaven in his eyes, he didn't have the time to fight with them at the moment.
Thus, he could only reluctantly give up on going to find Lei Jun.
Whenever he thought of Lei Jun being sealed, and that he couldn't take advantage of this rare opportunity, Gu Hai felt very frustrated.
And now, meeting Chu Kun was like finding a treasure.
Although Chu Kun's deep red Taoist robe didn't seem to indicate that he was a high-achieving elder like Lei Jun and Xu Yuanzhen, he was still a Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion.
As long as he could capture this ordained Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion, it would definitely be a great achievement.
Whether or not he could capture the Taoist priest from Longhushan had now become a hard indicator of merit in the Tianli Ming Court.
Especially now that the Tianli cultivators had suffered a great defeat, Gu Hai thought that if he could capture and kill Chu Kun and return, it would be enough for his teacher, Song Ge Lao, to help him turn this failure into success.
With the current dangerous situation, if it were a fellow Seventh Heaven cultivator from the Talisman Sect, Gu Hai might still hesitate.
But since it was only a Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivator, Gu Hai didn't hold back.
Time was tight, so Gu Hai didn't waste any words. He directly raised his hand, and black ink intertwined, forming a ritual, which enveloped Chu Kun.
Chu Kun sighed and waved the Soil Creation Flag, causing a large amount of dull yellow spiritual light to turn into soil and stones, helping him resist the approaching ink.
The dull yellow spiritual light came into contact with the ink, trembling slightly and showing signs of dispersing.
Fortunately, the Soil Creation Flag was enduring, constantly replenishing, thus helping Chu Kun hold his ground.
These Confucian scholars from the School of Rites really are relentless... Chu Kun thought.
Although the Soil Creation Flag was wonderful, Chu Kun's cultivation was one level lower than Gu Hai's, and the suppression of the Confucian scholars in terms of realm was evident.
However, Chu Kun also had no intention of fighting Gu Hai head-on. While using the Soil Creation Flag to resist Gu Hai's ritual, he directly pasted his own Sky Turning Talisman and prepared to flee.
Gu Hai's first attempt to capture Chu Kun failed, and his face became a little unsightly.
A brush pen appeared in his hand, and he wrote in the air.
Countless ink characters fell like rain, surrounding Chu Kun and the Soil Creation Flag.
The Soil Creation Flag shone with a dull yellow light, like an umbrella, helping Chu Kun block the ink rain.
But this made it inconvenient for Chu Kun to move.
Gu Hai wrote another stroke, and the brush pen turned into a knife, forcibly cutting a hole in the protection of the Soil Creation Flag.
The dull yellow spiritual light continuously gathered to repair the gap.
But at this moment, the ink on the brush pen also seemed to be endless, holding the gap.
A Confucian ritual and a Taoist treasure were now in a stalemate.
Gu Hai waved his sleeves, and the ink characters that were written in the air danced like rainbow-colored ribbons, trying to bind and suppress Chu Kun.
But suddenly, a talisman shone on Chu Kun's body.
It was his third life-saving talisman, the Star Shifting Talisman.
The talisman shone with a bright light, instantly turning into a hazy starlight.
When the starlight came into contact with Gu Hai's ink characters, both sides trembled.
The ink characters dispersed the starlight.
As the starlight faded, Chu Kun had already shifted his position, his figure moving to another spot.
Gu Hai exclaimed in surprise, and the ink characters in his article lashed out once more.
This time, as Chu Kun moved, his footsteps never stopped, and his innate first method, the Treading the Magical Beast Steps, took form.
There was a faint starlight swirling around him, and at this moment, combined with the Revolving Star-Shifting Talisman, it was like a magnificent starry river flowing around him.
The starry river flowed, containing the profound mysteries of its own trajectory.
The shifting stars also possessed immense power.
At this moment, as Chu Kun's two innate great methods merged, the ink characters that Gu Hai sent out were actually deflected away by the starry river surrounding Chu Kun's body.
Gu Hai's expression turned solemn.
With a thought, the ink characters in his article immediately transformed into dense ink blades and slashed down at Chu Kun's head!
With the power of the Heavenly Principles and the Fortune added to the Confucian scholars' advantage of the difficulty of transgressing the principles of the universe, there was indeed an overwhelming sense of invincibility when there was a gap in cultivation realms.
Chu Kun also knew that at the moment, he might be able to try to divert Gu Hai's attacks, but it would be difficult to counter his defense.
For now, he could only try to buy time.
After all, Gu Hai and his group were facing the threat of being surrounded and captured by other Great Tang cultivators.
However, if someone else were to come, Chu Kun's Revolving Star-Shifting Talisman might also be exposed...
Chu Kun was just thinking about this when he suddenly paused.
Above, in the distant sky where the naked eye couldn't reach, a faint and illusory mirror light was shining down at this moment.
The mirror light reflected Gu Hai's figure, showing every detail, even the slight wrinkles on his face caused by his cold smile.
On a small island far away, Lei Jun was busy putting away his gourd.
The second Brahma Breath Immortal Gourd had finally matured as well.
And deep within his eyes, the Heaven-Penetrating Earth-Sundering Law Formula was circulating, using the Great Cycle Heaven-Viewing Mirror to observe Gu Hai.
The distance between the two sides was indeed extremely far, far exceeding the range of the Talisman Sect cultivators' spells.
Even most of the sword cultivators and Confucian divine archers from the Daoist sects and Confucian schools would have no accuracy at this distance.
Lei Jun did not stop his action of putting away the gourd.
However, above him, a total of five talismans were hanging high in the sky, quietly circulating.
One was the Thunder Law Heaven and Earth Talisman.
One was the Xuan Xiao Five Thunders Talisman.
Two were the Two Extremes Heavenly Origin Talismans.
And one was the Heaven-Penetrating Earth-Sundering Talisman.
At this moment, the Heaven-Penetrating Earth-Sundering Talisman was corresponding with the Great Cycle Heaven-Viewing Mirror high in the sky.
While the Thunder Law Heaven and Earth Talisman and the Xuan Xiao Five Thunders Talisman were on either side.
The vigorous purple thunder and the deep azure thunder resonated with each other, respectively entering the two opposing Two Extremes Heavenly Origin Talismans.
Thus, the Primordial Magnetic Force generated by the Two Extremes Heavenly Origin Talismans became even more vast and mighty.
The powerful Primordial Magnetic Force did not leak out but continued to intertwine and accumulate between the two opposing talismans.
A sword hung between the Two Extremes Heavenly Origin Talismans, trembling slightly.
The sword was the Celestial Pivot Sword, one of the Seven Star Swords.
At this moment, the tip of the sword pointed diagonally upward, and under the impetus of the surging Primordial Magnetic Force, the space around the sword seemed to distort as well.
The entire small island seemed to be affected, beginning to collapse into the ocean.
Above the small island, there was originally a mist shrouding it, created by the Taqing Eight Scenery Treasure Canopy.
At this moment, the surrounding eight screens did not disperse, only the clouds above that obscured the sky parted to the sides.
The next moment, there was a rumbling sound as if the void was being torn apart, and a brilliant light flashed, only to disappear in the blink of an eye, slicing through the sky and vanishing into the distance.
The small island collapsed and sank into the vast ocean.
Lei Jun remained calm.
He had tried a similar method during the Jinzhou Battle when he sent the Celestial Master Sword to near the Ye Clan's ancestral land for his junior sister Tang Xiaotang.
However, at that time, he could only send the sword from a long distance, and the landing point was difficult to control, so Tang Xiaotang had to catch the sword herself.
If used to attack an enemy, it would be challenging to aim accurately.
But now, with the Great Cycle Heaven-Viewing Mirror hanging high...
Lei Jun was unperturbed as he put away the two Brahma Breath Immortal Gourds and watched as the gourds, devoid of their brilliance, turned into ashes and disappeared.
Then, he waved his hand, and the dark side of the Heavenly Book cleansed the area, erasing all traces of their presence.
At the same time, the Taqing Eight Scenery Treasure Canopy retracted, once again enveloping Lei Jun as he disappeared from view.
Amidst the raging heavenly winds and torrential rains, it was as if the small island had never existed, and no one had ever set foot there, let alone the Celestial Pivot Sword ascending into the sky.
In a distant area of the sea, a thousand miles away from the small island.
Facing Gu Hai's threat, Chu Kun seemed to hesitate for a moment.
His expression was a little strange as he stood in place.
"Are you trying to stall for time, waiting for that Taoist priest named Lei to come and save you?" Gu Hai sneered.
"Don't dream. He's been suppressed by my Great Ming sacrificial ritual at the bottom of the sea, and he can't even save himself... "
Before he could finish his sentence, a faint light suddenly flashed in the night sky above.
Gu Hai was startled.
As he looked up, a sword light suddenly flashed.
In the next moment, this Seventh Heaven Confucian scholar was directly sliced in half!
The dazzling sword light descended from the heavens, its tail flickering with thunderous flames, so fast that Gu Hai couldn't react at all, and his body was split from head to toe.
No matter what kind of defense he had, it was useless at this moment, and it played no role at all.
The dense black ink flew in the air, but before it could splatter, it was burned away by the raging thunderous flames.
The sword light pierced through the heavens and the earth, killing Gu Hai, and it did not stop there, continuing to plunge into the sea below.
The ocean was split apart.
The seabed was shattered.
A large amount of seawater instantly vaporized, rising into a vast cloud of steam.
Everyone present was stunned, watching as Gu Hai, who hadn't even finished speaking, was directly sliced in half by a sword that came out of nowhere.
...What just happened?!
What was that?
Was it a flying sword from a Daoist sect or a divine archer from the Confucian school?
Who made the move?
How did Gu Hai, who was just feeling triumphant, suddenly die in the blink of an eye?!
Chu Kun was the first to snap out of his daze.
Because he heard his senior brother Lei Jun's voice coming from the Heaven-Viewing and Earth-Listening Talisman:
"Third Junior Brother, remember to help me retrieve the Celestial Pivot Sword."
