Chapter 214: Chapter 154 Flying Sword Slays Demons, After Completion Departs with a Brush of His Robe_3

Everyone was stunned; they had never expected Gu Wen to be so audacious. Faint laughter, or perhaps angry curses, drifted from the heavens, the voices too distant to be clearly heard without deliberate transmission.

Ao Tang made a split decision and fled, vanishing from his spot in an instant.

The ethereal figure from beyond the sky moved quickly, lifting a hand, and immediately, the Divine Soul of Yu Hua ascended.

Gu Wen sheathed his sword and stood upright, his eyebrows raised and his gaze light as he watched Yu Hua’s Divine Soul ascend and dissipate, cries echoing from the heavens.

The Immortal Sword cleaves all; none survives, all are wounded.

After taking so many strikes from the True Sword Dao and enduring three blows of the residual attacks from the Immortal Sword, Yu Hua’s survival was impossible.

"Ancestor! Save me, save me... I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"

As his Divine Soul fragmented into tiny starlights and scattered, even the demi-immortal from beyond the heavens could only gather shattered fragments, for death is the fairest event under heaven and earth.

Those not Immortal all die, all will one day perish cleanly.

But Immortals, even after aeons of quietude, still exist.

"How dare you..."

A deep profound sound resounded, the heaven and earth changed color but it did not affect the Immortal Land at all.

Ao Tang reappeared, carrying a woman in white with her face concealed on his back. She rubbed her eyes, sneezed, and after a glance toward the heavens, all noises abruptly ceased.

She just stood there, and it seemed as though all storms ceased to exist.

Gu Wen said, "Thank you for the trouble again."

"I haven’t exerted any effort; where is the trouble? Moreover, everyone has their roles, if I had to intervene for anyone who comes here, then I couldn’t have reached this place."

Yu Hua dismounted with graceful steps, came up to Gu Wen, raised a hand to wipe the blood off his face, and said with a slight frown, "You never said it was trouble when you took advantage of those who aren’t from our sect."

Not from our sect...

Gu Wen knew whom Yu Hua meant and felt slightly embarrassed; he really had been getting a bit too close to Chi Yu Zi.

Due to Yu Hua’s fondness for sleeping and cultivating the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, he had been in contact with Chi Yu Zi more often lately, but Yu Hua’s remark might upset Chi Yu Zi.

Yu Hua did not blame him further, she wiped his face clean and said, "You’ve grown stronger, just like that unseen senior brother of mine."

"Three Pure Daoist?"

"Yes, I no longer know his level of cultivation, but his greatest achievement was at the Tianxuan Conference where he surpassed four minor realms and defeated Lan Yongning, the successor of the Liuyun Sect. You will be stronger than him; it’s just a pity you can’t participate in the Tianxuan Conference, missing out on some interesting tales, as it is an essential path of cultivation."

"Why?"

"Because once you go out there, you ought to be Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, meant to sit and watch the young compete."

Yu Hua stated this with certainty; she was not in a position to appoint or dismiss a Heavenly Venerate, she simply believed no one could surpass Gu Wen.

The donkey nearby turned its head away, afraid of straining its eyes.

"The struggle on the Great Dao, either be peerless in the current age or a late bloomer, these are extremely important aspects of cultivation."

"I think there’s no need to chase after formalities; perhaps directly assuming the role of a Heavenly Venerate suits me better."

Gu Wen said unabashedly.

He had never ventured beyond the earthly realm and couldn’t understand Yu Hua’s regret, akin to not having attended school in a former life and missing out on campus life.

But could a disciple ever be as comfortable as a Heavenly Venerate?

Suddenly, shouts of killing reached his ears. Gu Wen extended his Divine Thought ten li, a scene forming in his mind, his expression suddenly turning grave and frosty.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Wen leapt into the sky, like riding on clouds, rescuing as urgent as putting out a fire.

Gliding along the river, the rain and mist scattered furiously, splashing the water’s surface enveloped in mist, forming a cloud path extending outward.

Five li away, iron cavalry clashed with Wolf Demons, the Wolf Demons powerful but few, people numerous but weak.

Gu Wen halted amidst the clouds, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, spotting someone about to fall into the jaws of a wolf, pinched a Sword technique, and the Chopping Clouds Flying Sword unsheathed like a white line cutting across five li to decapitate a wolf’s head.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the Chopping Clouds Sword whistled, darting through the chaotic battle and struck another demon, unseen by mortal eyes, then returned to its sheath as a streak of white light.

The flying sword dispatched the demons, and then it left as if brushing off dust from one’s clothes.

The remaining demon had already perished within the ranks of the mortals; Jiang Jucai, covered in blood, half-opened his eyes, only seeing a blurred figure in the sky growing distant.
