Chapter 590: Chapter 371 Fierce Battle and Escape_2

It turns out she was a female cultivator.

The two behind her, however, looked much more ordinary, both elderly men dressed in black robes, resembling one another so closely they appeared to be twins.

“Yongyang Sect, the Southern Su Elders!”

“Black Sky Sect, the Wuyong Saintess.”

As Zhao Sheng was sizing them up, he heard Daoist Zhai Kong’s Divine Sense transmitting to him, his voice tinged with a hint of chill.

Zhao Sheng also felt it was a bit tricky, these three were not easy to deal with. The Southern Su Elders, although severely injured in their early years with no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, had both achieved the Golden Core Ninth Layer long ago. Together, they were no lesser than a Perfect Golden Core.

As for the Wuyong Saintess, her background was even more significant—the sole Holy Daughter standing concurrently with the princes of the Black Sky Sect.

It was rumored she should have ascended to the Nascent Soul by now. Unexpectedly, she had also arrived here.

“Junior, should the situation turn sour later, preserve yourself first, do not engage forcibly,” Daoist Zhai Kong subtly hinted at his intent to retreat.

Zhao Sheng transmitted back, “Senior Brother’s advice is apt. I will act according to circumstances.”

Just then, a whisper, akin to that of a mosquito, reached Zhao Sheng’s ears, surprisingly from Xiao Jiuke, “Junior Zhao, leave that group of Golden Core human puppets to you.”

Zhao Sheng’s gaze flashed, and he nodded slightly. Suddenly, a joyous expression appeared on Daoist Zhai Kong’s face, and his body relaxed as if he had found some support.

Though it seemed a long time had passed, it was, in reality, merely a moment.

At this instant, Tianxinzi laughed proudly, “Xiao Jiuke, if you are scared, you might as well withdraw from Dragon Transformation Cliff voluntarily. In consideration of the good relations between our sects, I won’t make it difficult for you. Just admit defeat once you’re out, and I will let you withdraw safely. How about it?”

Xiao Jiuke coldly said, “Wishful thinking!”

After speaking, he stopped looking at Tianyunzi and turned his gaze to the Wuyong Saintess:

“Fellow Daoist Ling Luo, you pride yourself on solitude; would you really stoop to collude with the scum, driven by the likes of Tianxinzi, a despicable person?”

“Although Tianxinzi is incompetent, he is still a member of our sect. In consideration of my master, I must ensure his safety.”

The Wuyong Saintess’s master was the Black Sky Sect’s previous Holy Daughter, a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. She was also Tianxinzi’s grandaunt.

That was why Ling Luo had no choice but to follow Tianxinzi, even though she held him in contempt.

Xiao Jiuke’s face grew dark, his sinister features turning even more malevolent. He took a deep breath and coldly said, “Since that’s the case… take action!”

However, the word “action” was not shouted by him, but by… Tianxinzi!

At that cry, the Southern Su Elders twisted their forms, turning into twin plumes of black smoke, vanishing from everyone’s senses.

Simultaneously, the Wuyong Saintess stepped forward, instantly crossing a distance of several dozens of meters, and threw a punch at Xiao Jiuke.

Boom!

The fist shone like a tide; under a whirl of fog and accompanying the roar of thunder, it struck Xiao Jiuke with unimaginable speed.

However, Xiao Jiuke’s body, like an illusion, turned into a bubble at the touch of the punch’s light, suddenly bursting and vanishing in an instant.

Hum!

Zhao Sheng rapidly retreated a long distance, his body suddenly manifesting countless Drifting Threads of Sword Light, covering a ten-meter radius enveloped by a sea of swords.

Just then, two burs of black qi suddenly exploded within the sea of swords, nearly materializing the Southern Su Elders, who were caught off guard by Zhao Sheng’s Sword Pill.

The nine Geng Metal Sword Pills, like swimming fish, meandered through the vast ocean of Sword Light, casting forth a dense flurry of sharp sword glares.

Zhao Sheng swept his gaze over the Southern Su Elders, his form also disappearing in an instant.

“Damn it, Elder Brother, quickly release the Great Sun Divine Light!” the elder of the Southern Su’s frantically shouted, sweeping his hand to release a blinding white light that swept through the surrounding Sword Light.

At the same time, another patch of pitch-black dark flame emerged, intertwining with the white light, instantly creating an immense pressure.

The Geng Metal Sword Pills had just entered the domain of this black and white light when it drastically lost its spiritual connection and slowed down, seemingly affected by some bizarre power.

In the depths of the fog, Zhao Sheng’s brow furrowed, his thoughts racing, as he recalled the Geng Metal Sword Pills. The ocean of Sword Light also moved, forcing the Southern Su Elders back by ten meters.

With a loud “bang”, several bursts of firelight exploded before Tianyunzi, engulfing him in roaring heat waves before a giant figure like a giant appeared.

Gazing at the fog tide lifted by the heat waves, the expression on the Wuyong Saintess’s face turned cold as she took a step forward.

In the next instant, she appeared directly in front of Xiao Jiuke and threw another punch.

Under this punch, the fog within a hundred yards instantly solidified, and the space fell into utter silence.

An indescribable heavy pressure enveloped Xiao Jiuke’s body, causing his movements to falter.

In a flash, the fiery dust abruptly twisted, and then dispersed in all directions. Tianyunzi, laughing wildly, rammed into Xiao Jiuke from behind.

Relying on the indestructible Golden Essence Treasure Armor, Tianyunzi was invincible in defense below the stage of Nascent Soul.

At this moment, the six Golden Core Human Puppets also made their moves, quickly entangling Daoist Zhai Kong.

Seeing Xiao Jiuke caught between enemies from both front and back, Daoist Zhai Kong tried to draw his sword to rescue him, but it was too late.

From within the depths of the fog, Zhao Sheng’s eyes shimmered brightly. While entangling with the two elders Nansu, he continuously monitored the other two battlefields.

At this moment, he shook his head secretly, thinking, “If Xiao Jiuke does not use his ace Divine Skill, it will be difficult for him to escape unscathed.”

However, the next scene truly confirmed his view.

Facing the pincer attack, Xiao Jiuke’s expression remained unchanged. His entire body flashed with black light, and he once again transformed into a burst of bubbling shadow, disappearing into thin air.

The next second, however, he reappeared atop a half-length spirit peak in the distance.

“Illusion Light Escape Technique!” the Wuyong Saintess uttered these four words coldly as she gazed into the distance.

At the same time, she stretched out her hand and pressed forward, unleashing infinite power. Tianyunzi, who seemed like a charging mammoth, was suddenly immobilized and could not move.

“Damn it, let me go!” Tianyunzi roared, “Quick, chase him, we must not let Xiao Jiuke reach the Dragon Transformation Cliff.”

No sooner had he spoken than Xiao Jiuke flashed a mocking smile at them, and immediately transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the spirit peak and vanishing from the Divine Sense of everyone present.

“Hmph, Junior Brother, move quickly!” Upon seeing this scene, Daoist Zhai Kong grunted and immediately shouted out loud.

Before his words fell, the Sword Sea nearby suddenly vanished, and nine meteors flew into the thick fog at an unbelievable speed.

Zhao Sheng’s figure then turned into nothingness.

However, Daoist Zhai Kong suddenly turned pale, because an unexpectedly slender, tall figure had suddenly appeared in front of him.

“…Pfft!”

Moments later, a bright red blood stain suddenly emerged from within the thick fog.

…

An hour later,

a gaunt, pale strange bird stretched its wings fiercely, transforming into a white rainbow that shot out, colliding with Zhao Sheng.

The giant claws of the pale bone bird swung fiercely in mid-air, and two vast claw shadows emerged out of nowhere, enveloping the Void around Zhao Sheng.

“Boom”

Nine thick beams of Sword Light soared into the sky, directly severing the approaching giant claw shadows.

The Sword Light still had force to spare, fiercely striking the bone bird.

Struck by this powerful blow, the bird was immediately sent flying several miles away.

Flames surged around Zhao Sheng’s body, and he swiftly darted forward, the oppressive aura around him escalating continuously.

“Pfft” “Pfft”

Hundreds of fiery red Fireballs, large as water jars, flew out, covering the sky. Each Fireball emitted a strong wave of destruction, trailing a long tail of fire akin to a meteor shower, rapidly and fiercely striking the bone bird.

Boom boom boom!

These Fireballs exploded instantly, transforming into rolling waves of fire, instantly submerging the bone bird.

Boom boom boom!

The aftermath of their intense fight scattered in all directions. Wherever it passed, the nearby mountains crumbled like paper, easily turning into countless rubble. In the blink of an eye, the nearby valley was leveled, and the terrain completely altered.

The bone bird quickly found itself at a disadvantage, being forced to continuously retreat, with several large wounds visible on its body, appearing extremely ragged.
