Chapter 1142: Chapter 996: Sword Fight (Extra Chapter for Subscription)

Master Yuekong had been renowned for many years, possessing the magical powers of an Earth Immortal. As soon as she made her move, it was extraordinarily powerful.

The Green Jade Hook flew back and forth, resembling a long green rainbow, drawing away several Si Chen Swords.

Her hands came together in prayer, and above her head, a golden Celebrating Cloud appeared, transforming into a Seven Treasures Golden Canopy. The canopy was inlaid with numerous relics, jade stones, agates, and other items, each emitting its own brilliant light, protecting her body.

"Old thief!"

Fang Xi let out a cold snort, Innate Five Elements Power gathering at his fingertips. Suddenly they intertwined, transforming into the "Innate Five Elements Divine Thunder"!

Thunder Light fell from the sky like a deluge, yet the Seven Treasures Golden Canopy merely trembled slightly.

After all, Master Yuekong was no ordinary member of the Shu Mountain Sect. She was more than capable of handling Fang Xi’s spells with ease.

Suddenly!

Another Invisible Divine Thunder exploded.

This Divine Thunder was silent when activated, the Thunder Light invisible and formless, indeed extremely insidious.

It even carried with it a force of Origin Magnetism. Using the shifting ability of the two poles’ magnetism, the invisible Thunder Light penetrated the Seven Treasures Golden Canopy. Master Yuekong chantered a Buddha’s name as her golden body showed traces of crimson red...

"How dare you, harming a Divine Nun?"

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a gigantic hand appeared in the Void.

This hand was pitch black, but it was certainly not the capture hand of the Innate One Qi. Instead, it was filled with a profound Divine Skill capable of capturing all magic treasures and Flying Swords!

"Great Wild God Palm!"

It was the Divine Master Great Wild making his move. He was also an aged Earth Immortal, rumored to be a former Martial Artist among mortals who happened to obtain a Heavenly Book and embraced the Dao, excelling in the path of ’Unity of Immortal and Martial Arts.’

With one palm strike, the pitch-black hand was not only extremely sturdy, stronger than many treasures, but it also carried 1,287 different currents of force, like overlapping waves. No matter the Flying Sword or Divine Skill, they would be extinguished with a single palm!

"Humph, could it be that you have a thing for this old nun?"

While Master Yuekong’s true appearance was indeed beautiful and charming, she always liked to appear as a slovenly old nun.

Naturally, Fang Xi would not be courteous to the Divine Master Great Wild.

In this moment, he wielded a Si Chen Sword. Chains of the Law of Time manifested in the Void, suddenly transforming into a blade shadow that entered the Si Chen Sword.

Abruptly, a flash of light burst across the sky, revealing a spectacle where the sun and moon shined together!

"One Sword Divides Day and Night!"

Fang Xi thrust with his sword, as if to divide Yin and Yang, causing the sun and moon to shine simultaneously.

With one sword strike, all things shined with brilliance!

Whoosh!

The Si Chen Sword erupted with an astonishing Sword Light, cleaving the Great Wild God Palm in two with a single strike.

The speed of the Sword Light was so unimaginable that it swept over the Divine Master Great Wild.

The Divine Master Great Wild’s expression changed drastically, a streak of blood appearing on his body!

Such an Earth Immortal, adept in the Unity of Immortal and Martial Arts, was unable to withstand even one sword strike from Fang Xi and was defeated.

Just as Fang Xi prepared to continue with his sword and finish off this Earth Immortal, he saw nine golden dragons descending from above the sky.

He let out a scoff. The Si Chen Sword once again split into Sword Light, nine Flying Swords like giant dragons of Light and Time, clashing with the golden dragons.

Then, with another sword strike, he vowed to slay the Divine Master Great Wild!

Clang!

A Sword Light flashed forth suddenly.

This sword’s Sword Light was like fire, turning the heavens and the earth into a sea of crimson red!

Faintly, it seemed to carry the shadows of the array path!

"All-Heaven Fire Sword! Old Lie Huo!"

The Si Chen Sword was blocked by a fiery-red long sword. Fang Xi’s eyebrows raised, and he saw the real person in charge of the Hua Mountain Sect floating down to the fight.

"Old Lie Huo, do you also wish to involve yourself in the grudge between me and the Shu Mountain?"

Ancestor Lie Huo was almost on the same level as Ling Chan Tongzi, excelling in various sword techniques and sword solutions of Hua Mountain. The "All-Heaven Fire Sword" was Hua Mountain’s distinguished Flying Sword, not comparable to the likes of Great Wild and Yuekong.

Ancestor Lie Huo’s eyebrows and beard were all shades of red. Pressing down on the Sword Light, the "All-Heaven Fire Sword" suddenly turned into a vast sea of fire.

This technique of ’forging swords like fire’ was truly the transmitted family art of the All-Heaven Fire Path, unique to their practice.

He laughed loudly and exclaimed, "The Five Elements True Reprisal that Duanmu Long possessed was originally taken from the hands of my disciple, Sir. You have entwined destiny with me, and this debt must be repaid!"

"Good!"

Fang Xi let out a light shout. The Five Elements Primordial Spirit rose above his head, from which emerged a young Fang Xi and an older Fang Xi.

These two ’Past’ and ’Future’ selves each wielded a Si Chen Sword, holding off Lord Tianlong, Master Yuekong, Sir Di Xin, Nun Jueqing, and a bunch of Shu Mountain juniors.

As for his strongest ’Present’ self, he was controlling the ’Si Chen Sword,’ suddenly baring it with a strike that unleashed a thunderous noise, revealing a radiance that silenced many Sword Immortals!

Whoosh, whoosh!

Ancestor Lie Huo had already witnessed Fang Xi’s ferocity, knowing that this monster was not only extremely powerful in magic, but his swordsmanship was profound and cunning. Combined with the Flying Sword carrying the Power of Time and Space, he was almost the foremost Sword Immortal in the mortal world!

At this moment, not daring to be negligent, the All-Heaven Fire Sword turned into vast Fire Light. It faintly fused with the array, transforming into layer upon layer of volcanic mountains.

Each layer of Fire Mountain represented a change of the All-Heaven Fire Sword, containing infinite mysteries of Sword Light.

Even when Fang Xi once again executed the unparalleled sword technique ’One Sword Divides Day and Night,’ he could only shatter three layers of Fire Mountain!

...

"What a toxic sword!"

"What a ruthless person!"

The Divine Master Great Wild lay in the Divine Leaf Palace, a sword mark on his body.

On that sword mark, countless threads of Light and Time burrowed in and out like small insects.

On this wound, Time seemed to have been altered, causing the injury to continuously worsen.

The Divine Master Great Wild repeatedly took Spiritual Pills and circulated his Profound Art, yet he was unable to heal the sword wound caused by Light and Time!

Even his Origin Soul seemed to have been cut open, causing his essence to continuously pour out.

"Divine Master Great Wild, you’ve had a hard time... Here is the ’Mysterious Heaven Life-Saving Pill’ from our Shu Mountain Sect, which can consolidate one’s Origin Soul. Please use it!"

Ling Chan Tongzi hurriedly presented a purple-golden pellet and waved his right hand to cast a stream of magic power, aiding Divine Master Great Wild in refining the pill.

Divine Master Great Wild’s face turned pale with a mix of green and red, and he violently spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

Although his expression was wilted and his Origin Soul considerably dimmed, that sword scar finally dissipated.

"Is that Fang Xi really of the Wood attribute?"

He grind his teeth and said, "His mastery over the Power of Time and Space is truly shocking the world... Sir, you must be careful, and not let him harm several juniors, ruining your own fortune..."

"Please, rest assured, Sir..."

Ling Chan Tongzi, the leading figure of the Shu Mountain Sect, had yet to make a move and even had the leisure to chat idly with others.

But everyone knew that once this Celestial Immortal took action, it would be earth-shattering.

"Ancestor Lie Huo has recently taken action, and the ’All-Heaven Fire Sword Technique’ is the number one sword technique of the Hua Mountain Sect... This fire seems like the South Ming separatist fire, but it actually originates from fate itself, capable of scorching a person’s fortune, opportunities, and blessings..."

"Even I, a Master, must admit that Fang Xi has an extraordinary foundation, and having dedicated himself to arduous cultivation, has such divine skill and magic power. If it were before, our Shu Mountain Sect would never wish to make an enemy of such a person, but alas... this is a struggle for the Dao, and we have to take action!"

Upon hearing this, Divine Master Great Wild immediately felt a chill in his heart.

The Shu Mountain Sect began the sequence of major calamities with a swordsman’s battle against the Demon Path, annihilating the group from West Kunlun and seizing their fortune.

Now with Qinghe Mountain as the starting point, were they about to incite a rivalry among the other sects, to seize their fortunes and opportunities as well?

’Alas, the fate has already been set, Shu Mountain will flourish!’

’After five hundred years, another Last Dharma Tribulation will come, and if we do not wish to remain eternally sunk in the mortal world, we can only board Shu Mountain’s ship...’

Divine Master Great Wild thought to himself.

Although he had unified Immortal and Martial Arts and carved out his own Daoist Path, he was trapped by external power and the attributes of Primordial Energy, which hindered his ascension.

If he didn’t catch the last ride of the whole Shu Mountain Sect’s ascension this time, he would only face eternal downfall from then on.

This was also why many experts of the Righteous Path were willing to turn a blind eye to the Shu Mountain Sect!

Just at that moment, a mournful sword cry thundered down from above the sky.

It was Fang Xi unifying himself with his sword, and in an instant, he shattered the nine-fold Urban Sky Raging Fire Divine Mountain.

After all, he was an unparalleled Grandmaster of Array Taoist, having walked through the fire several times, he had discerned the reality and illusion of the great array.

Ancestor Lie Huo, holding the All-Heaven Fire Sword, wore a hint of a smile on his face: "My All-Heaven Fire Sword is rooted in the South Ming separatist fire and has been refined with much effort by adding many magic techniques... It is especially proficient at scorching flying swords."

"Only because your flying sword has a special material, could it withstand repeated attacks without diminishing its sword light..."

"But now, ultimately, I, the old ancestor, have seen through the fundamentals of your sword technique."

Ancestor Lie Huo made another move, and the All-Heaven Fire Sword traced a trajectory in the air like a leaping antelope’s horn.

In that moment, the all-encompassing Meridian God Light unexpectedly collapsed thunderously!

For the first time, Fang Xi’s Time and Space Sword Technique was broken!

"Cut!"

Ancestor Lie Huo flipped his palm, and a volcano emerged, pinning down the Si Chen Sword underneath it.

The All-Heaven Fire Sword, however, shot towards Fang Xi like lightning!

Seeing this, Fang Xi revealed a strange smile on his face and shouted, "Come!"

Whoosh!

An invisible sword light, unbeknownst to when, emerged behind Ancestor Lie Huo, splitting the layers of sea of fire and striking Ancestor Lie Huo’s fiery Taoist Robe.

"Ah... The Invisible Sword?"

"Did Shu Mountain betray me?!"

Ancestor Lie Huo was in the midst of performing his most proud sword technique, ready to take the life of his formidable foe.

Caught off guard by the sneak attack of a ’Taiyi Invisible Sword’ from behind his head, he was utterly unprepared, and the radiance from his fiery Taoist Robe was cut through by the sword.

The Taiyi Invisible Sword was exceedingly treacherous, and it immediately burrowed into his Origin Soul, forcing the Hua Mountain Sect’s Headmaster and Master to scream in agony.

Ancestor Lie Huo knew that the Taiyi Invisible Sword was one of the nine famous flying swords within the bounds of the universe from the Shu Mountain Sect and thought he had fallen into a trap set by them.

But Fang Xi did not relent in his advantage.

With a wave of his hand, the All-Heaven Fire Sword disappeared without a trace.

Then, the sky-filled Urban Sky Raging Fire thunderously dissipated, and the Si Chen Sword leaped up, joining the Taiyi Invisible Sword to lock down and slaughter Ancestor Lie Huo’s physical body and Origin Soul.

Poor Ancestor Lie Huo, a renowned elder expert of the universe, was beheaded on the spot, and even his Origin Soul was annihilated by the invisible sword, leaving only a sliver of his True Spirit to reincarnate and be reborn.

"Ancestor Lie Huo?"

Divine Master Great Wild was shocked and reflexively distanced himself from Ling Chan Tongzi.

Ling Chan Tongzi quickly exclaimed, "Two masters, take action!"

"Amitabha!"

Suddenly, the sound of Buddhist chanting filled the heavens and earth.

Nine golden dragons swelled immensely, swallowing up the nine imaginary flying swords formed by the Meridian God Light.

Lord Tianlong, who had seemed to be concealing his strength until now, finally displayed his terrifying power!

A golden barrier merged with the ’Biyi Qi Nine Palaces Xumi Array’ above Divine Wood Island, completely sealing off the void.

And at this time, Ling Chan Tongzi finally made a move with his flying sword!

As soon as he acted, it seemed he had calculated everything, seizing the critical moment when many experts had worn down Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness and magic power, exposing the Taiyi Invisible Sword, and slaying Ancestor Lie Huo.

At this moment, Fang Xi was undoubtedly at some peak, and afterward, he could only slide into a valley.

This is what is meant by ’the dragon rides high but shall regret its culmination, fullness cannot last long’!

His contention against the ’All-Heaven Fire Sword’ had indeed burned off much of his magic power and fortune.

And because of slaying a great enemy, he was in a delicate period of relaxation!

Two streams of golden light covered the heavens, locking all voids, and within them, a golden thread leaped out.

The ’Pure Jun Sword’, capable of slaughtering the strongest indestructible Divine Demon bodies, suddenly appeared behind Fang Xi, launching a swift sword strike!
