Chapter 119 The Unexpected Traitor
Chu Yunzheng stopped wasting words with Bai Jiu and raised his long sword to slash at him.
This time, Chu Yunzheng's move was no longer an invisible sword aura, but rather a fusion of all the sword intent he had comprehended over decades of secluded cultivation into the surging true energy that resembled ocean waves.
Seeing this overwhelming attack, like a tsunami, carrying countless deadly threats, heading straight for him, Bai Jiu dared not think any further and immediately mobilized all his internal energy, unleashing more than ten palm strikes in succession.
Bai Jiu's ability to rank among the five great supervisors of the Western Pavilion of Dali indicates that his own strength is not weak.
The dozen or so palm strikes he unleashed with all his might each contained immense power, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!
These seemingly invincible dozen or so palm strikes, when they struck Chu Yunzheng's sword moves that surged like ocean waves, seemed to have no effect whatsoever in weakening or stopping them, leaving only a few palm prints of varying depths on them.
"how come!!"
Bai Jiu stared wide-eyed, completely unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
Even if Chu Yunzheng breaks through to the mid-stage of Grandmaster, he shouldn't be this strong!
His mastery of the Cloud-Turning Palm technique had already reached perfection. Even if he couldn't contend with a mid-stage Grandmaster, he shouldn't be unable to withstand even a single move from his opponent.
"save--"
Before he could even utter a cry for help, Bai Jiu was completely engulfed by Chu Yunzheng's sword strike. His entire body was torn to shreds by the surging and churning sword intent hidden within, leaving not a trace.
Fu Yunxue, who was healing her injuries and watching the battle from the sidelines, was deeply shocked by the power of Chu Yunzheng's move.
She was well aware of Chu Yunzheng's talent and skill in swordsmanship.
In her opinion, Bai Jiu was no match for Chu Yunzheng.
Even though she knew that Chu Yunzheng would defeat or even kill Bai Jiu, she never expected that Chu Yunzheng could achieve such an effect with just one move.
She could also clearly sense that the power contained in the move that Chu Yunzheng had just unleashed far exceeded his own level.
Fu Yunxue wasn't the only one who felt the same way; several other powerful masters present also shared this sentiment.
Even Wu Yan, who was quite far away, had some of his attention drawn to Chu Yunzheng's move.
In fact, Wu Yan had a bad feeling ever since Chu Yunzheng appeared.
He naturally attached great importance to this swordsman, who was hailed as having the best swordsmanship talent in the Suspended Sword Pavilion in hundreds of years. That's why he specially sent two powerful grandmasters to intercept and kill him before the battle began.
The fact that Chu Yunzheng is here unharmed proves that the two men he sent have already died by the other side's sword.
The death of two grandmasters was nothing to Wu Yan, but the fact that they died almost without any value made Wu Yan somewhat indignant.
Jingwei, who had already made a breakthrough in battle, now faces an even stronger opponent, Chu Yunzheng.
These successive changes made Wu Yan impatient, and at the same time, he cursed Ao Di, who was about to die under Jing Wei's sword, in his heart.
What utter nonsense about being the best at using poison in the world! It's all just self-praise!
If the poison were truly that potent, the ones falling one after another wouldn't be the grandmasters from their side.
Seeing that after Chu Yunzheng killed Bai Jiu, Jingwei, who had previously gone to heal her wounds, had also recovered and came out, ready to join Chu Yunzheng in the battlefield to support the others, Wu Yan seemed to have made a decision. Without hesitation, he unleashed his true energy, instantly blasting Xuanxi and Dao'an away.
After blasting the two away, Wu Yan transformed into a streak of red light and flew towards Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng.
"not good!!"
Xuanxi and Dao'an were both startled and immediately gave chase with all their might.
Wu Yan's figure appeared before Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng almost instantly.
Upon seeing Wu Yan suddenly appear in front of them, Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng didn't say a word and immediately unleashed their strongest moves at Wu Yan.
Wu Yan's power is evident to all.
Even if Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng were very confident in their own strength, they did not think that the two of them together could possibly contend with the other party.
The reason they acted without hesitation was to buy time for Xuanxi and Dao'an, who were rapidly catching up.
"Even the light of a firefly dares to rival the brilliance of the bright moon!"
Wu Yan smiled contemptuously and raised his hand to press down on Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng.
A crimson palm print, tens of feet in size, descended like a mountain, carrying boundless power, and almost instantly shattered the combined attacks of Jingwei and the other person.
Enveloped by the enormous palm print, Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng found it extremely difficult to even stand, let alone resist, under the terrifying pressure.
They only held on for a moment before they both knelt down, their knees creating a deep crater in the ground.
Now that they were facing Wu Yan directly, the two of them truly witnessed just how terrifying and powerful Wu Yan's strength was.
This overwhelming power simultaneously filled both of them with a sense of powerlessness.
Just when the two thought they were about to perish under Wu Yan's palm strike, Xuan Xi and Dao An finally caught up.
Xuanxi pointed his sword at the sky, condensing his qi into swords, instantly transforming them into thousands of light swords; Dao'an was surrounded by golden light, and a huge thousand-armed Guanyin Buddha statue vaguely appeared behind him.
The Guanyin Buddha statue unleashed its thousand hands, which, together with Xuanxi's light sword, transformed into two torrents—one white and one gold—that slammed into Wuyan's colossal, sky-covering palm.
Just as the three powerful forces were about to collide, Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng suddenly felt the oppressive force binding them disappear.
The two dared not linger for a moment and immediately unleashed their full power to fly away into the distance.
Almost all the grandmasters within a radius of several miles, like Jingwei and Chu Yunzheng, stopped fighting and desperately fled to the outer perimeter.
At this critical moment, no one noticed that a figure, during the escape, suddenly turned a corner and quietly approached the direction where I was.
Lightsaber, Buddha's Hand, and Palm Print—the three attacks collided with a deafening roar!
A burst of intense light erupted, accompanied by a deafening roar.
The group of grandmasters who had safely evacuated to the surrounding area hurriedly used their protective inner energy amidst the shaking earthquake to prevent themselves from being injured by the massive energy blasts generated after the three attacks collided.
The vibrations and roaring sounds lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before finally stopping.
When everyone looked in the direction where Wu Yan and the other two were, they found that only Wu Yan was still standing intact in the huge pit.
Xuan Xi, who was only a dozen feet away from Wu Yan, was also standing, but blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth and her face was pale, clearly indicating that she had suffered a serious injury.
The other Dao An was completely unconscious from severe injuries. Upon closer inspection, a bloody hole the size of a fingernail could be seen in Dao An's chest.
This unexpected turn of events took everyone by surprise.
When Jingwei saw the small bloody hole on Dao'an's chest, which was clearly caused by a hidden weapon, she instantly showed an expression of disbelief.
"Gilded Feathers!"
The only weapon capable of penetrating Master Dao'an's Buddhist golden body protective technique and causing such severe injuries is the world's number one hidden weapon, the 'Golden Flying Feather'!
And in this world, only the Thousand Machines Sect can create 'Gilded Flying Feathers'!
