Chapter 164: Brainless

Bang.

The sword light exploded, countless sword auras like pear blossom needles piercing Shadow’s body, blood spurting out, his body riddled with holes, looking pathetic.

Through the tiny wounds, his bones like white jade were visible.

“Die!” Mu Jianxue pressed forward, her divine sword shining like a stream of light, outshining the stars.

The brilliant light dimmed countless stars, and the boundless sword energy seemed to pierce through eternity and the universe, flashing in the starry river, triggering countless law oceans, crashing onto Anying.

Bang.

Anying’s body exploded completely, even hiding in the void couldn’t save him from the sword aura, torn apart. Leaving him no escape, forced to endure the sword light.

Blood spilled in the starry sky, Shadow’s soul hurriedly escaped, recovering his body miles away, immediately swallowing several eighth-grade pills.

If not for his numerous tricks and timely evasion. Mu Jianxue’s sword would have killed him completely.

Countless blood drops hung in the starry sky, containing unimaginable life energy, like blood-colored stars, forming a unique blood river, eerie and terrifying.

Seeing Mu Jianxue approaching again.

Anying suspended a Saint weapon in mid-air, emitting divine light that enveloped him, his figure seemingly merging into the world, like a part of the void.

“You’re in a hurry, Mu Jianxue!” Shadow’s eyes gleamed. He clearly sensed Mu Jianxue’s attacks were filled with urgency.

Extremely anxious, desperate to tear him apart, lacking her usual composure.  This made Shadow delighted, indicating Mu Jianxue was indeed in a hurry.

Desperate to kill him and protect Jiang Chen.

Mu Jianxue ignored him, wielding her divine sword continuously attacking Shadow. She was naturally a person of few words, speaking more only to those she knew well.

Ordinary people or enemies found it hard to chat with her. However, to Shadow, it seemed like Mu Jianxue was too anxious, almost as if she was acknowledging something.

“I know you’re eager to kill me to protect Jiang Chen! But it’s too late. Jiang Chen is destined to die!” Feeling a familiar surge, Shadow revealed a triumphant smile, his eyes playful, waiting for Mu Jianxue’s fury.

“In the past, I killed your sister, and you couldn’t protect her! Today, I will kill the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land, and you still won’t be able to protect him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jianxue stopped her attacks, raising her cold, frosty face, showing an arrogant expression, and said solemnly, “In the past, I couldn’t protect my sister because I wasn’t strong enough. Today, Jiang Chen doesn’t need my protection!”

Hearing this, Shadow seemed to realize something and quickly looked down.

Soon… The void trembled, and a powerful aura swept out.

“The Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Land!” Shadow’s eyes widened. Wasn’t the Holy Lord of the Primordial Holy Land supposed to be in the Pure Yang Sect?

Why was she here?

Following closely were the Pure Sun Holy Master and the Sun God King, completely plunging him into despair.

According to the information, they were supposed to be in the Pure Yang Holy Land. Why had they suddenly appeared here?

As if realizing something, Shadow suddenly looked at Mu Jianxue, his eyes fierce. “You knew we would attack long ago. Did you use the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land as bait to lure us out?”

At this point, how could he not realize he had fallen into the opponent’s trap? It seemed like they were luring the opponent out, but in reality, the opponent was also luring them out.

“Your petty tricks can’t fool Jiang Chen!” Seeing Shadow’s frustrated look, Mu Jianxue was extremely pleased. She enjoyed seeing these self-proclaimed clever individuals being outsmarted.

“Jiang Chen! How did he know?” Shadow’s eyes widened, utterly shocked. He couldn’t understand how Jiang Chen knew about their plan.

“You’ll find out soon enough!” Mu Jianxue couldn’t be bothered to reply, raising her sword to strike.

…

Elsewhere.

The Third Ancestor led the two Quasi-Emperors into the endless starry sky. In the vast starry river, the three were like grains of sand, incredibly small.

However.

Their aura pressed down on the entire world, on the brilliant starry river, making the surrounding laws and Dao wail.

Seemingly small, yet incredibly majestic.

“It is said that Wan Jianyi once swept through the Nine Heavens Realm with a single sword, possessing the might of an Emperor!”

“I wonder if I have the honor to witness it today!” The Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan gazed at the Third Ancestor and spoke faintly.

He spoke as if honored, but his gaze was arrogant, looking down at the Third Ancestor. Seemingly humble, yet truly arrogant! The Third Ancestor had seen countless of such people, too many to count!

“You might be disappointed! Your strength isn’t enough to make me show my past prowess!” The Third Ancestor remained calm and composed, facing the two Quasi-Emperors without any fear.

Confident, as if everything was under his control. This inherent pride was palpable. It seemed the Third Ancestor had already let go of his past goals.

But in truth, his heart remained unchanged, only less intense. No longer obsessively pursuing his goals, giving up everything for them.

Yet, his heart had aged. Aged but not devoid of ambition. If given the chance, the Third Ancestor would still seize it.

“As arrogant as the rumors say!” The Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan’s face darkened.

“Ao Xu, you were once a peerless warrior. How did you end up with this waste?” The Third Ancestor ignored the Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan, looking at Ao Xu.

“I am not associated with him! Do not lump me with him! Our cooperation is merely for a common goal!” Ao Xu, unlike the Third Ancestor, directly stated his disdain, not giving the Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan any face.

He didn’t need to, and wouldn’t. The True Dragon Clan had always been proud, looking down on everyone unless they earned their respect.

Even the Demon Clan wasn’t spared.

No one knew why the True Dragon Clan looked down on the Demon Clan.

Hearing the exchange between the two, the Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan’s face stiffened, feeling a wave of emotion.

The two were supposed to be allies against the Primordial Holy Land, yet Ao Xu not only refused to help but also sided with the enemy.

This made the Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan extremely embarrassed. To an outsider, it seemed like the two were on the same side.

If not for the lack of power.

He would have killed both on the spot, or captured and tortured them, making them wish for death!

“Don’t be too pleased with yourself! You and Mu Jianxue’s departure means the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land is unprotected! Next, he will surely fall!”

Sensing the change in aura, knowing the Heavenly Domain had acted, the Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan spoke with confidence.

Mocking, like a villain gloating.

The Third Ancestor looked oddly at him and said lightly, “They say demons have no brains. It’s true!”

“Why do you think Mu Jianxue and I willingly fell into your trap?”

Hearing this.

Not only the Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan, but even Ao Xu couldn’t stay calm.
