Chapter 248 - Joining forces to fight Zhong LuoyueZhong Taicang was already dead, when Zhong Luoyue received the news, he only saw Zhong Taicang"s body. Fortunately, other than Zhong Taicang, he had a son like Zhong Taiqing. Although Zhong Taiqing"s talent was not as good as Zhong Taicang"s, he was still a Middle stage Source Realm martial artist.
Furthermore, Zhong Luoyue had personally witnessed Zhong Taiqing being killed by Ling Dao and the Heavenly Thunder Sword penetrating his body to make Zhong Luoyue furious. As the strongest warrior in the Anshan County, there was actually someone who killed his son Zhong Taiqing in front of him!
The furious Zhong Luoyue no longer cared about Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, An Shanfeiyu and the others, and rushed towards Ling Dao instead. Within his eyes, it was as if two b.a.l.l.s of flames were jumping about, and the middle grade sword s seemed like they were about to shatter the void."This is bad!"
"Be careful!"
"Get out of the way!"Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, An Shanfeiyu and the rest all exclaimed out. They all rushed towards Zhong Luoyue, but unfortunately for them, Zhong Luoyue was at the peak of the Origin Stage, and his own speed was much faster than theirs. Now that Zhong Luoyue wholeheartedly wanted to kill Ling Dao, it was naturally not something they could stop.
"I"ll cut off one of your arms first. I won"t let you die so quickly. I"ll make you suffer purgatory torture and make you live a life worse than death!"
Zhong Luoyue"s voice was filled with endless hatred and poison, not only because Ling Dao had killed Zhong Taiqing, but also because Ling Dao had deceived him earlier. Zhong Luoyue was not an idiot, he had naturally already noticed that the reason why Ling Dao pretended to be afraid was to lower his guard.
As long as Zhong Luoyue did not interfere, then it was certain that Ling Dao would kill Zhong Taiqing. Zhong Luoyue never thought that he would actually be played by a sixteen year old teenager. Not only was Ling Dao astonishingly talented, even his mentality far surpa.s.sed his peers.
Unfortunately, whether it was talent or wisdom, they were all useless in front of absolute strength. If Zhong Luoyue wanted to kill Ling Dao, he would naturally not give him any chance. If was given another five or ten years, he would indeed not be Ling Dao"s match, but it was a pity that he wouldn"t give him that kind of time.
"Peak of Origin Stage?"
After knowing Zhong Luoyue"s realm, not only was Ling Dao not afraid in the slightest, he was elated. In his eyes, there was a dense fighting intent. After rising to the Late Air Defense, he still did not know where his limits were. Right now, Zhong Luoyue who was at the peak of the Origin Stage, was coincidentally conducting an experiment for him.
"Silver Moon!"Twenty percent of the essence of thunder poured out, and the vigorous Zhen Qi transformed into a huge wave. Just by relying on these, he was definitely not Zhong Luoyue"s match. Fortunately, Ling Dao had grasped the power of the sword, as if he had become one with the world, and his spirit had received an overall boost.
A crescent moon fell from the sky, cutting through the void and illuminating the four directions, colliding with the black iron sword. Facing Zhong Luoyue, Ling Dao did not dare to be even the slightest bit careless. He understood that there was a huge gap in cultivation between them and it would be difficult for him to defeat Zhong Luoyue.
"Boom!"The collision between the crescent moon and the black iron sword released a deafening explosion. Two different surges of true qi were clashing in the air, as if wanting to tear the s.p.a.ce apart. The source of thunder and the source of fire intertwined together. The heavenly thunder wanted to extinguish the flames, and the sea of fire wanted to burn away the sea of thunder.
The origin of lightning was indeed not inferior to the origin of fire. Unfortunately, Ling Dao had only grasped twenty percent of the origin of lightning, so it was naturally unable to compare to Zhong Luoyue"s source of fire. As a pract.i.tioner at the peak of the Origin Stage, Zhong Luoyue had already grasped 90% of the fire origin.
Ling Dao let out a stuffy groan, and his body retreated step by step. The power that came from the Heavenly Thunder Sword caused both of his arms to go numb. Zhong Luoyue possessed the strength of eighty infant dragons, so his power was naturally much stronger than Ling Dao"s strength of thirty infant dragons, which was more than twice the strength of Ling Dao.
"He blocked it?""He didn"t die?"
"Not even injured?"
Be it Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, An Shanfeiyu and Anshan Taiping, or even Zhong Luoyue, all of them were extremely astonished. For a Late stage Imperial Sky Realm martial artist like Ling Dao, even though he was at a disadvantage when facing Zhong Luoyue"s full power sword attack, he was not even injured.Anshan Taiping was even more ashamed. She was already injured when Zhong Luoyue was dealing with him. Furthermore, Zhong Luoyue only used a sword strike from afar, he did not personally come in front of him to deal with him. Now, Zhong Luoyue had personally gone over to Ling Dao"s side to deal with him, but Ling Dao only managed to retreat, and was not injured at all. From the looks of it, Ling Dao"s fighting strength was stronger than his?
"No wonder Tai Qing was killed. This kid is too strange. Is his Late Air Defense alone that strong?"
Zhong Luoyue frowned. This was indeed the first time he had seen such a monstrous youth. Previously, he was already overestimating Ling Dao, but he didn"t expect that he would still still be underestimating him. Ling Dao"s fighting strength was definitely stronger than Anshan Taiping"s, and by a lot."Is it sword energy?"
Even Zhong Luoyue had never grasped the sword before, he had only heard of it. It was rumored that only warriors who had surpa.s.sed the Origin Stage could grasp the sword force. To say that Ling Dao, a Late stage Imperial Sky Realm martial artist, was able to grasp the power of the sword, Zhong Luoyue simply did not believe it.
But before, Ling Dao"s performance had clearly meant that he had grasped the power of the sword, and was one with the sword in his hand, one with the world. Furthermore, Ling Dao"s strength had also received a large increase, which was why he was able to block one of his strikes.Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Anshan Taiping, Duan Zhenghui and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Ling Dao was fine. Ling Dao"s performance in terms of combat also caused them to be extremely shocked. The current Ling Dao was clearly much more tyrannical than before his closed door cultivation.
"If we join hands, we might be able to defeat Zhong Luoyue!"
"That"s right, the experts at the peak of the Origin Stage are indeed much stronger than those at the late stage of the Origin Stage. But now, we have three Origin realm late stage martial artists s!"
An Shanfeiyu was in the late stage of Origin Stage, Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was in the late stage of Origin Stage, and Anshan Taiping was in the middle stage of Origin Stage. The third Origin realm late stage martial artists they were talking about, was Ling Dao. Although he only had Late Air Defense, his fighting strength was probably close to that of the Origin realm late stage martial artists.
"They are just a bunch of ants. Even if all of you join hands, you can forget about defeating my sect master." The more confident you are, the more despair you will feel after this sect master defeats you! "Even in the face of Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, An Shanfeiyu, and the four others, Zhong Luoyue was not the least bit nervous. With his 90% mastery of the fire origin energy and his middle grade sword in hand, he was not afraid of Ling Dao and the others joining hands.
"d.a.m.n it, this time when we came out, we did not bring out the clan suppressing treasure of our Anshan!"
The clan guarding treasure of the Anshan was a middle grade sword, if he brought it with him, it would be comparable to the black iron sword in Zhong Luoyue"s hands. Right now, their weapons were at a disadvantage. Furthermore, they could not compare to Zhong Luoyue in terms of strength, so naturally, the great battle would be extremely difficult.
"The black iron sword in his hands is a middle grade sword. Our swords can"t even compare!"
Anshan Taiping let out a long sigh. If sshe had known earlier, he would have brought the middle grade sword here. At the same time, Ling Dao also saw that a crack had appeared on her own Heavenly Thunder Sword. Previously, when he had clashed with the black iron sword, the Heavenly Thunder Sword had suffered some injuries.
"Looks like we can only use Carefree Sword s, or else we would not be his match at all!"
Ling Dao had indeed planned not to use the Carefree Sword anymore, but he was not a pedant. In this kind of life or death situation, if he did not use the Carefree Sword, it would be equivalent to seeking his own death. He was not sure what level of weapon Carefree Sword was, but he had seen the sharpness of Carefree Sword before.
Even if it was a lower graded sword, it couldn"t stop a Carefree Sword. In front of the Carefree Sword, the lower graded sword was as weak as tofu. He was not sure about the specific strength of the King Carefree, but since it had definitely surpa.s.sed the Origin Stage, the sword that he had left for Ling Dao, would definitely not be weak."Let"s attack together!"
Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, An Shanfeiyu, Anshan Taiping and Ling Dao looked at each other, and then displayed the sword techniques they were most proficient in. If they were unable to defeat Zhong Luoyue, then not only would the Sky-splitting Sword Sect be destroyed, the entire Anshan would also suffer a terrible fate."Twenty-three!"
The Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion shouted loudly, and the lower graded sword in his hands fiercely thrusted forward. Slash after slash, they were as fast as lightning. Even though they were not as fast as Ling Dao"s sword, this sword technique allowed him to execute twenty-three strikes in the shortest amount of time."The Five Mountains are supreme!"
An Shanfeiyu and Anshan Taiping were both using the same sword technique. Their sword techniques seemed to complement each other. When combined together, their might actually increased. Ten magnificent mountains were pressing down hard towards Zhong Luoyue.
"Rushing Thunder Shadowless Sword!"Above Ling Dao"s head, a sea of lightning roared, purple streaks of lightning flashed. He was like a young thunder G.o.d, with lightning flashing all over his body. The Carefree Sword in his hands fiercely thrusted forward, its speed reaching the extreme, far surpa.s.sing Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the others.
"Hmph, even if all of you join hands, don"t even think of defeating our Sect Leader!" Let me show you the strongest sword attack of my sect master! The four directions are silent!
Zhong Luoyue laughed out loud, then waved her black iron sword, attacking towards Ling Dao and the others. One of his black iron sword seemed to have turned into four. One was real while the other three were illusions. However, even that illusion still possessed tremendous power.As he slashed out, heaven and earth cried out. Vigorous energy, as well as a vast amount of true energy, gathered together to form 90% of the fire source energy. It released the most dazzling light. The power of someone at the peak of the Origin Stage, all of it erupted, it was truly terrifying.
The people below all raised their heads at this moment. Whether it was the Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple, or the An Shan"s children, or the Heavy Sword Sect, Sky-splitting Sword Sect, or Black Tortoise Sword Sect"s warriors, they all looked over. They understood that the real deciding factor for this battle was Zhong Luoyue and the rest"s battle.
"Boom!"
A resplendent light exploded high up in the sky. Many disciples could not help but shut their eyes. Zhong Luoyue"s laughter did not weaken at all. Instead, it grew louder and louder, as if he had gone insane. Elder of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion"s expression changed greatly as he was sent flying by a black iron sword. His luck was the worst, and what he faced was a true black iron sword, so he was naturally not a match.Anshan Taiping"s situation was not any better. His strength was still lacking a bit, after all. An Shanfeiyu"s condition was slightly better, but unfortunately, he was still injured, and his internal organs had almost been displaced.
