Chapter 341: Chapter 199 Escape
Even he couldn't bear it, let alone the others. Su Chen, Mu Hongtao, and Wen Ling simultaneously stumbled, and the next moment, the punishment for the foul came crashing down. Sweltering flames began burning from the inside out.
As suspected, fighting with others during the mentorship ritual indeed violated the etiquette!
Knowing that time waits for no one, and a moment's delay could mean being burned to a crisp, Brother Du let out a cold shout, his eyebrows raised. The Ice Cold Fruit he had just swallowed melted instantly, its thick coldness spreading throughout his body, offsetting much of the scorching heat.
After doing all this, Brother Du heaved a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to continue his attack, he saw a sword appear abruptly before him.
The blade was like water, reflecting the light. The movement didn't seem too light, nor was the speed fast, but his soul felt as though it was locked in place, unable to move an inch.
Brother Du quickly retreated, swinging his sword to slash.
Under normal circumstances, even if the opponent was practicing a highly profound Way of Sword Destiny, such a slash should sever the connection with him, dissipating that locked-in feeling. But for some reason, the opponent's destiny was like fine threads, unable to be cut cleanly, the more he slashed, the more he felt unable to resist.
“What kind of destiny is this?”
A wave of panic surged, and for the first time, Brother Du felt unconfident.
He was a Galaxy 7-dan powerhouse, and even if he was undergoing the Water and Fire Tribulation, reducing his cultivation, he was not someone at Galaxy 3-dan level to contend with. Yet at this moment, he couldn't even sever the opponent's Sword Intent!
Clearly, the guy's comprehended destiny was too powerful, his Sword Intent already linked with Brother Du's own fate, unable to get rid of it in a short time.
As he was full of anxiety and uncertain of what to do, a low shout rang out not far away. Mu Hongtao swung a hook slash over with great strength, the wind howling before it even neared.
Paying no heed to the continued chase, Zhang Xuan turned to face the incoming attack.
It was then that Brother Du finally breathed a sigh of relief and fixed his gaze.
Zhang Xuan's sword qi was like thin threads roaming the sky, one after another, forming a vast fishing net. A single move's Strength couldn't resist Mu Hongtao's offense, but as the sword qi increased, he gradually blocked all attacks on the outside.
“You were practicing Mo Dao Destiny, weren't you? How come your sword art is also so brilliant?”
Mu Hongtao also felt panicked, forced to keep retreating by the swordplay.
“I've recovered!”
At this point, Brother Du finally severed that Sword Intent and once again joined the others in the fray.
As time went on, Su Chen and Wen Lingxun had also resolved the troubles of the Water and Fire Tribulation, but suffered extremely severe injuries, significantly reducing their combat abilities.
Even so, the four joining forces was quite terrifying. The entire cave was immediately filled with robust Strength, as if a hurricane had sounded, roaring and wailing.
But at this moment, Zhang Xuan was like a lighthouse in the storm, no matter how fierce the downpour, he stood tall and unyielding, even in the night, emitting an inextinguishable light.
“How, how is he doing this?”
Mo Baiye and the others vigorously rubbed their eyes, afraid they were seeing things.
A Galaxy 3-dan Peak, facing off against three Galaxy 6-dan and one 7-dan, not only was he holding his own, but even counterattacking…
Mu Xiaoqing's eyes were wide as saucers, almost popping out of their sockets.
Chosen as the Holy Daughter, she was considered highly talented both in the Bamboo Forest Sect and across the Zhou Yi Dynasty. She had thought herself capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the finest talents in the world, but now seeing this person in front of her, she understood the magnitude of the disparity!
No matter whether it was Mo Baiye, Ling Yusheng, Su Chen, or Wen Lingxun, they were all well-known figures for many years. She would hardly dare to breathe in their presence before, yet this fellow, not much older than herself, had been toying with the rules all along, and now was even dominating four at once, without the slightest disadvantage!
“No, not just without disadvantage, he is… he's using the sect leaders to practice his sword!”
After watching for a while, a strange thought suddenly popped into her mind.
Although her strength was the weakest among the group, as a saintess of the sect, she had seen martial arts experts before and her discernment ability was not the slightest bit lacking.
Initially, when facing the attacks from the sect leader, Brother Du, and others, Zhang Xuan was extremely flustered. Logically speaking, as their strength gradually recovered after overcoming the Water and Fire Tribulation together, they should have been able to kill him quickly, but for some unknown reason, he seemed to be holding his ground.
In other words, he was fighting four people single-handedly, and he was managing to fight to a stalemate.
Not only that, while fighting, he continued to absorb the Heavenly Mandate Vitality from the pool as if it was more important to him than his own life…
While in shock, Mo Baiye's muttering voice rang out.
“His strength is actually much weaker than Brother Du and the others, but somehow, he seems to know their battle techniques' defects very clearly. Every thrust of his sword aims directly at the weaknesses, forcing them to be constantly on the defensive, making it seem like a closely matched battle…”
“Yes, that's exactly the situation!”
Mu Xiaoqing suddenly realized.
The sword in Zhang Xuan's hand was like magic, every stab came at the moment when their old strength had just faded and the new strength had not yet emerged. One move could be considered a coincidence, but ten consecutive moves, a hundred moves, all the same, was somewhat terrifying.
This could no longer be said to be simply martial arts or Heavenly Mandate; it was like magic.
“Everyone help… once we fail to kill him this time, he will definitely come over and slay us!”
Mo Baiye shouted.
Earlier, they felt that the other party was wary of the rules and did not dare to come over and trouble them, but now that they were sure the other party was not bound by the rules, they realized how naive such a thought was.
The current situation was that if they couldn't kill the opponent, he could completely charge over and slay them.
After all, if Brother Du, the strongest among them, was not his match, then he naturally would have an even harder time contending.
“Indeed…”
Mu Xiaoqing, Qin Xiaofei, and others also realized this, each of their expressions grave, paying no heed to continuing their moral education and hurriedly walking over.
“A bunch of people teaming up to attack me, how shameless… I'm not playing with you anymore, farewell!”
Seeing their movement, Zhang Xuan, who was in the midst of battle, smiled lightly, then with four consecutive stabs, he targeted the defects of the four people and then swiftly leaped far away.
In just a few breaths, he was running wildly across the surface of the water.
The crowd hastily reached the edge of the river, wanting to pursue, but all stopped involuntarily.
To cross the river… they had to remove their shoes, otherwise, they would violate the rules.
Someone had already tested the punishment for breaking the rules for the fourth time—immediate annihilation!
This meant, even if they wanted to chase, they had to remove their shoes, and by the time they had taken them off, the other party would have likely already escaped far away.
“The Heavenly Mandate Vitality… not a single bit is left absorbed!”
Mu Xiaoqing said with a bitter smile.
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and indeed, they saw the pool was completely drained, nothing was left.
“Could it be… that he could have left at any time, and the reason he fought so fiercely with us was just that he hadn't finished absorbing all the Heavenly Mandate Vitality?”
After a long while, Brother Du, with a face flushed red, let out a huff.
