Chapter 323 - 266: A Lake in a Single Thought, Slaying Tian Ze
"Roar"
A terrifying beastly roar echoed between heaven and earth. The body of a black ferocious tiger was bathed in light, exuding an unmatched aura, looking down on all with supreme confidence. It transformed into a whirlwind rising to the sky, instantly filling the heavens, where the dim world suddenly burst with divine brilliance.
Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger!
At this moment,
Gu Zhan personally experienced the meaning of this saying,
The Qinggong Lingyun Soar he cultivated was an Earth Tier Upper Grade Martial Arts, emphasizing speed. It could be said that his Qinggong was unparalleled in the world. Unless someone had cultivated speed-based Divine Techniques, it would be difficult for anyone to catch up with him, even among the Supreme Grandmasters currently battling on the cliff. In terms of speed alone, Gu Zhan did not pale in comparison.
But now, this tiger had actually caught up!
"Roar..."
The Black Tiger howled, shaking the universe, transforming into a blaze of brilliance, charging forward with a gust of wind, sweeping up hundreds to thousands of pounds of stones, sending them flying amidst the dust, directly pouncing towards Gu Zhan.
"This beast..."
Gu Zhan quickly dodged, and the ground instantly shattered, deep ravines carved by the Black Tiger’s pounce, dark and terrifying.
"Brother Gu, do not tangle with that beast!"
At this moment, Nangong Weiyang, rushing to aid Gu Zhan from afar, suddenly soared into the sky, pointing her Fangtian Halberd towards the heavens. Instantly, a thunderclap resounded, with bolts of lightning converging down.
As Nangong Weiyang’s halberd struck out, terrifying thunder like an endless galaxy of light, murderous aura boundless, crashed down towards the Black Tiger, which let out a deep growl and quickly dodged. At that moment, lightning struck down, and the ground exploded, turning to dust.
At this time, Sword One made a spell gesture, chanting continuously,
Immediately, on the battlefield,
many scattered swords on the ground flew up, one hundred, three hundred, five hundred... one thousand, three thousand...
"Swords, rise!"
Sword One spat a mouthful of blood,
The densely packed Flying Swords emitted a hum, magnificent, resonating with the mountains, causing the earth to tremble. Blades of light surged endlessly, seeming to obscure the world, like a tornado weaving through the sky.
"Defeated opponents dare to be arrogant!"
Tian Ze, in pursuit, watched the myriad Flying Swords with anger, tossing his Long Spear to the sky, which instantly transformed into a blood-colored Flood Dragon, spewing white runes with a metallic sheen, meeting the airborne sword tornado. A brilliant gleam exploded between them, and the clash of metallic instruments could be heard.
"Clang clang clang clang clang..."
The densely packed Flying Swords shattered to pieces, falling like a torrential rain. Following that, from the clouds, a Long Spear descended from the sky towards Sword One.
Sword One was now somewhat weakened,
Previously defeated by Tian Ze, he was already seriously injured. Now, in order to buy time for Gu Zhan to escape, he forcibly used his Divine Technique, only for it to be broken by Tian Ze, aggravating his wounds.
He now looked at the Long Spear descending with a look of helplessness.
At this moment, the Grandmaster who had been protecting him intervened, using a Long Sword to meet that spear. A high-pitched clash resounded, the body staggering and trembling, as blood spurted from his mouth,
A Grandmaster indeed, forced to retreat, coughing blood from a single spear.
The Long Spear was repelled, flying back to the heavens, landing once more in Tian Ze’s hand. He turned to glance and immediately shouted in anger to the two Grandmasters: "You two, stop that woman Nangong Weiyang!"
Immediately, the two Grandmasters headed towards Nangong Weiyang, not seeking to kill her, but focusing on delay.
Their primary target to kill was Gu Zhan,
The Demon Dao’s top prodigy Tian Ze, his mount the Black Tiger, Grandmaster Netherworld, and the two Grandmasters from the Illusionary Sound Sect, this force was enough to annihilate a Super First-class Influence.
Sword One wanted to intervene, but he now had little strength left, his Guardian blocking him, giving him no chance to act again, while Nangong Weiyang was entangled by two Demon Dao Grandmasters and a team of Demon Dao forces. Although she had a Guardian assisting, that Guardian was clearly unwilling to let her rescue Gu Zhan, not putting in full effort, almost seeming to cooperate with the Demon Dao to entangle Nangong Weiyang.
Nangong Weiyang’s face was very grim, her eyes filled with rage.
But her Guardian pretended not to see, turning a blind eye.
Meanwhile,
on the battlefield, many saw Gu Zhan being pursued, yet not a single expert from the vast Yunxi Martial World came to aid, all coldly observing.
Jin Yuanbao and Niu Pei, who had previously fought alongside Gu Zhan, wanted to help, but were scolded by their seniors.
Being at the center of a top force, having been influenced from a young age, they both knew that beneath the seemingly harmonious surface of the Yunxi Martial World, there were countless dirty dealings.
The five nominal top forces,
Only Beidou Bang was like a nouveau riche, supported by Mo Jingzhou alone, always appearing out of place, bearing the title of the Five Top Forces but always somewhat excluded, also envied by others.
This time, during the righteous and demonic battle,
Mo Jingzhou signed an alliance with the Four Top Forces, which was no secret among the higher-ups.
The reason the Four Top Forces agreed so readily, aside from needing Mo Jingzhou to set the stage, was mainly that they were sure that once Mo Jingzhou died, Beidou Bang would fall, and that alliance paper would, within a few years, turn into a scrap of paper.
