Chapter 703: Enemy Of Taoism

“It seems like Senior Brother Xuwen has already fallen…”

Wu Xu sighed as a spell was cast out, sealing up the soul lamp.

It would be the same for tens of thousands of years. It would be nourished and fed until the soul fire recovered and became strong enough to reincarnate.

“I remembered that he was heading to the east of Donglin. Why would he fall for no reason?”

The one who spoke was another Taoist by his side. He spoke while frowning, his eyes filled with doubt.

This was also the question of the many other people within the room.

Apart from those few people, who within the Cloud World could handle a High-Grade Spirit Realm Expert?

“I heard that the Monster King in the east of Donglin dealing with the reincarnation of the Death Witch…”

“So this means that Senior Brother went over to watch?”

“Senior Brother Xu has always been like that, not fearing anything, walking toward danger. Coincidentally, he was nearby, so he most probably wanted to see how strong the Monster King was!”

“However, it shouldn’t have resulted in him dying right?”

“I told him not to underestimate the Monster King! The Monster King went up against 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalrymen alone. His strength could compare to that of the Celestial Realm. Senior Brother Xuwen definitely wasn’t his opponent…”

“Of course! But Senior Brother isn’t an arrogant person. If he couldn’t win, he would have been able to flee. Moreover, the Death Witch appeared, so Haoxuan and Hanshan Sects also sent their elites. Could it be?”

Before he finished, someone interrupted, “Those two sects don’t have such courage!”

“How unfortunate. This Netherworld Princess appeared too suddenly. If not, we could have planned a killing trap there to kill the Monster King right beneath Demon Corpse Mountain!”

Wu Xu’s eyes were half-closed, hearing the people discuss while he was deep in thought. His eyes were flashing, who knows what he was thinking about?

Just at this moment, a blue light suddenly charged into the room.

The green-robed Taoist at the end grabbed it.

“Fellow Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers we don’t have to argue anymore!”

He sighed as he waved his sleeves, throwing the talisman over to Wu Xu.

“Not only did Senior Brother Xuwen fall there, but Demon Assassin Sect’s Shanghan also died in that battle. News spread from Demon Corpse Mountain that Senior Brother Xu escaped to hundreds of miles away, but was killed by a Flying Knife. Shanghan tried to kill Zong Shou after he was badly hurt by the Netherworld Emperor, but was killed instead. The Netherworld Princess was forced into a desperate situation several times by Zong Shou and nearly died. Now, she is still escaping…”

After hearing just a few sentences, everyone in the room became silent once more. The green-robed Taoist had a green face as he said his last words.

“I think we have still underestimated the Gantian Ruler.”

For a full 5 minutes the entire room was silent. However, after recoiling from their shock, everyone began engaging in discussion.

“How is that possible? Forcing back the Netherworld Princess and also killing two Spirit Realms?”

“What sword technique or ability did Zong Shou use?”

“This isn’t just unrivalled in the Cloud World. No one in our Daoling Vast Habitat can deal with him?”

Seeing everyone in deep discussion, Wu Xu took out a small hammer and smacked the golden bell beside him. The bell rang out and caused everyone to stop and look over.

“Senior Brother Xu has already died. Everyone knows how strong and vicious he is.”

Putting down the hammer, Wu Xu looked at the unhappiness in the eyes of the fellow Sect disciples. He acted like he didn’t see anything, saying flatly, “I order the disciples that unless you have no choice, do not fight Zong Shou. Even if you want to, you must at least have five Intermediate Grade Spirit Realm Cultivators.”

No one here had any objections. It wasn’t that none of them were stronger than Xuwen, but that they might not be able to escape from Zong Shou.

Wu Xu’s orders were sound.

Several people interrupted once more. They were the voices of people who were already unhappy with Wu Xu.

“It seems like Zong Shou is much stronger than we expected. Should we stop the plan?”

“No! This person is still our enemy and we have to kill him! The more we wait, the stronger he gets. I can’t be the sinner of our Vast Habitat. I will bear all the consequences…”

Wu Xu spoke again in response and a cold glow flashed in his eyes as he stared at the people within the room.

“In fights, what is important is we use our strengths to target his weakness. All our talents for the past 300 years have returned. Everything is prepared and we can act! Zong Shou is so arrogant and dares to say he will wipe us out. Today, we must let him know our strength, that we can’t be offended! Just one small Ruler, but we have so many methods to clean out his race and country, to make his people betray him!”

　　※※※※

Gong Xinran was gritting her teeth in the dark cave, popping out from the dirt.

She threw out dozens of Death Stones to build a formation to retract all her True Qi and energy.

Her left arm was already broken and now recovering. However, it was squeezing dry the last bit of Death Energy she had in her body.

Luckily, she was already familiar with her broken body.

She was familiar with recovering her body, her consumption of Death Power was already reduced to its lowest.

With this, Gong Xinran just used several days to totally grasp her Dark Death Indestructible Body.

However, she was unable to feel happy.

After sitting still she consumed a pill. She then used her True Qi to recover her Death Energy.

She didn’t just have one injury. Her organs, chest, etc., suffered shocking wounds.

If she was a living person, she would have died long ago. The reason why she was still able to live and use spells was because she was already a dead person.

Ten minutes passed and the wounds on her body were recovered, looking shiny as jade.

The Death Energy in her body once again surged and nourished her entire body.

However, the worry in her eyes grew thicker.

Her body was turning for the better and her injuries were healed. However, she knew that the Essence Energy and potential in her was totally sucked dry after these few days of chasing and escaping.

There were fewer and fewer pills in her hands that were of any use.

In the past, just half a pill could recover all her energy, but now, two to three of them might not have much of an effect.

Her two Father Emperors were totally cut off from her.

If this went on, she would definitely ‘die’ under the sword of Zong Shou…

Gong Xinran didn’t fear death, so she didn’t know why she was trying so hard to flee. She only subconsciously tried to maintain her own life.

Apart from her father’s orders, there seemed to be some other thing that she had to deal with…

Suddenly, there was some movement and she heard a sharp sound.

She swiftly got up and instinctively used a Shield Technique to block. There were loud explosions as silver light split the earth layer, tearing the Death Stone Formation and forcefully pinning it where she was just sitting.

It was a Spiritual Sword, its handle was still shaking and trembling.

Zong Shou had no doubt that if she was slightly slower, then she would have been pierced by it.

Like that day when she was defeated by Zong Shou, that green sword pierced her body…

The long sword failed, but then it flew up and swept at her, causing stone and dirt to fly everywhere.

Gong Xinran didn’t dare to stay much longer, turning into a black light and charging into the Earth layer.

Great Darkness Death Movement Technique was one of the secret techniques that one of the two Netherworld Emperors imprinted in her mind.

Traveling underground, she could cover 10,000 miles in a day.

During these few days, she used this to keep her life safe from Zong Shou’s sword.

Unfortunately, although the skill was quick, it consumed a lot.

Even as the Netherworld Princess, the Daughter of the Netherworld Emperor, she was unable to use it for too long.

Thus, every day was like this. After she escaped Zong Shou, her True Qi would be nearly fully consumed.

While she healed up, Zong Shou would chase up to kill her…

The black light fled swiftly. However, there were numerous Purple Lightning that injected into the Earth layer.

It spread about in all directions.

Gong Xinran gave out a low moan as some of these Purple Lightning struck into her body.

She once again suffered some injuries, however, she fled even quicker.

She knew that the direction she was fleeing toward had been exposed.

As expected, in the next moment, a sword shadow pierced over, filled with a sky full of sword energy as it charged into the earth layer.

Without even looking, she knew that this was Zong Shou’s Instant Space Dragon Sword and the Yellow Dragon Sword.

He was more and more familiar with it, all his attacks were focused on one line and were exceptionally quick. She was unable to use her Movement Technique to flee it.

Her hands formed a seal and the White Bone Relic appeared behind her. Layers of Death Energy formed a Spiritual Light Barrier.

However, that was far from enough. She tossed out dozens of jade-colored bone tablets that spread out behind her.

These were bone talismans. The Netherworld lacked resources and could only use High-Grade beast bones as talismans.

Although the ones in her hands weren’t made by the Netherworld Emperor, they were from those expert Spirit Masters and were thus really precious.

“Si!”

A sharp screech assaulted her eardrums. The sharp Sword Light caused the layers of bone talismans and light barriers to be forcefully torn open. It then pierced through the left of her body!

Her heart twitched once more. It hurts! It hurts right to the bone…

She didn’t hesitate to directly dissipate the part of the body that was pierced.

She accelerated, fleeing forward. The Death Energy in her body was also being quickly consumed.

Her eyes were filled with loss. She was too exhausted…

Five more times. She could only escape five more times from this person.

In other words, in just four hours, she would be killed by him.

She was startled as she looked behind. He actually wasn’t chasing her…
