Chapter 708: Hard To Survive Alone

He didn’t place down a chess piece for a long time. The Taoist who was smiling had a teasing expression in his eyes, “Cultivator Xiyue, you seem uncertain, you weren’t like this in the past. The black piece still has a chance of winning, however, if you are still distracted you will definitely lose.”
Xiyue hesitated slightly and then sighed, pushing away the chess board in front of him.
“Forget it! It has been tough to calm down these few days. Let’s fight another day!”
The Taoist couldn’t help but frown when he heard this, “Is it regarding Donglin? I heard that you all also participated? Actually, Gantian Mountain is a barbaric land tens of thousands of miles away. Your Wenyi Temple is in the core area of the Central Continent. Even if you win, there are no benefits for you so why join in?”
“I obviously know that! I have no choice!”
Xiyue sighed, his expression filled with helplessness, “Linya, you come from a Spiritual House Sect so you don’t understand our hardships. Vast Habitat gave an order and if I don’t follow and have problems in the future, who will help me? Moreover, those 10 spots to cultivate in the Vast Habitat are hugely important. All the sects are eyeing them aggressively, so how can I fall behind? Cultivation methods, tribulations at the Spirit Realm, so many matters need the help of the Vast Habitat. Moreover, it is like there are no benefits at all unless Gantian is wiped out, we can obtain some spiritual mines in Donglin...”
When he said this, his words were filled with anticipation.
Linya was stunned for a moment and laughed self mockingly, “I have always been cultivating and occasionally found one or two friends to play chess with to discuss the Dao and to find joy. I know really little about such matters. However, in my eyes there isn’t a need to worry so much. No matter how strong he is, he can’t handle so many enemies. Wu Xu is so vicious, being so swift right as he acted, avoiding their strengths and attacking their weaknesses. In just three months, the foundations of Gantian Mountain will shake and the cities will revolt. Although the outcome isn’t decided, our Taoist Faction losses should be very little...”
“Let’s hope so!”
Xiyue laughed, he relaxed a little. Then, he frowned and looked at the stone table.
Suddenly, the chessboard and the surrounding tables and chairs were shaking slightly.
At the start, it wasn’t apparent, but a few breaths later the slight trembling became intense shaking.
The entire building shook in all directions and the ground was also rising up and down.
The two of them both stood up, exchanged glances, their eyes both filled with shock.
Was there an earthquake?
Then, they realized it wasn’t that. Linus’s eyes turned serious, “Sword Energy!”
Just two words, filled with both astonishment and fear!
The table in front of them turned into dust, silently spreading out.
Threads of Sword Energy shot out from within, going in and out of the building and feeling up this entire space.
Who knew when it had entered, instantly smashing the building into pieces!
The two of them didn’t hesitate any longer, turning into lights and flying out.
There were numerous people flying in the air and silver light fell downward. Blood rain spurted and many corpses fell to the ground. Then, they turned into pieces of minced flesh.
Xiyue was stunned, his eyes turning red as he looked up, only to see someone standing in the air.
Bright gold robe, sixteen years of age and a green mirror hanging on his head. Behind his back were 30,000-foot lightning wings, covering the sky.
He recognized this person just as Xiyue was totally stunned.
“Zong Shou?”
Linya’s body trembled.
He had already seen a portrait of him when his sword suppressed the Cloud World and he was unrivalled a year ago.
However, why was he here?
The Sword Energy crossed and intersected. With his Spiritual Senses, more and more people within Wenyi Temple died.
It was a massacre. At every moment, there were many people shredded by that Broken Sword Intent and they had no way of fighting back at all.
Slowly, Linya had a really bad feeling.
Wu Xu avoided the strengths of the enemy, but the Monster King wasn’t waiting and doing nothing!
Although Wenyi Temple wasn’t a Spiritual House Sect below them, their strength could be listed as above average.
They had 3 Grade-9 Experts. His friend Xiyue was even a Spirit Realm Expert. However, such a strong Sect couldn’t even block Zong Shou for a short moment...
What about the other Sects under Daoling Vast Habitat?
The Taoist Faction didn’t have as high a chance of winning as they thought!
At this moment, not only could Wu Xu not hurt his foundations, but it would even attract a huge calamity for the Taoist Faction.
“Ruler, please stop!”
Xiyue’s face turned green as he flew into the air. Numerous jade stone-like chess pieces flew up. They shook in the air and turned into chess board-like Spiritual Formations. They went all out to block the Broken Sword Energy to protect the remaining disciples.
“How did Wenyi Temple offend the Ruler? To make you so angry to massacre hundreds of my disciples? I know you have problems with Daoling Vast Habitat, but how can you push it to us?”
He just needed four hours!
He didn’t hope for Zong Shou to retreat, even stopping him for a short moment was good enough!
He just needed four hours and the surrounding Taoist Sects could come over to help. Within Daoling Vast Habitat, many would learn of the news and they could teleport dozens of Spirit Realm Experts over to kill Zong Shou.”
Linya didn’t speak as a squarish spell altar appearing beneath him.
Each side had a Spirit Realm Protector Beast. In his hand was a Yin and Yang Spell Tray. When he spread out his Spiritual Sense, a golden light spread and many talismans fell like a waterfall. Looking out, it looked like a giant golden clock.
At this moment, Zong Shou finally looked down and focused on these two people.
He had no intention to answer and just casually stepped forward.
Another loud explosion sounded and all the buildings on the peak of the mountain were smashed to pieces!
Even with the Golden Clock and Chess Piece Formations blocking, there were still hundreds of disciples who were turned into blood mist!
Xiyue was so furious his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He changed from defense to attack and the chess pieces flew up and striked down like meteors!
At this moment, two species of light, one gold, one silver, struck over from the right and left.
Xiyue didn’t care, he trusted his old friend Linya’s World Settling Clock Domain ability.
In the next instant, the Sword Light in Zong Shou’s hand flashed and it was like the entire Heaven and Earth was ripped apart! Without any resistance it broke into that golden clock.
It directly sliced off Linya’s head.
The sword was too quick, those 4 Protector Beasts weren’t even able to react. Xiyue’s eyes were filled with shock.
That domain was a Spirit Realm ability. It was tough to cultivate and extremely powerful.
Linya had tested it out when he was cultivating and even 5 Spirit Realm Experts working together needed a day to take it down!
Although his old Friend didn’t like to kill and was a composed person who didn’t fight or compete with others, his position was so stable that no-one dared to offend him.
However, he lost just like that? He died with one sword?
Then what about him?
With Linya dead, he alone wouldn’t be of any use!
Numerous thoughts rose up and a vengeful intent consumed him.
He didn’t hate Zong Shou. Enemies going up to the door to fight was natural.
He hated himself for not thinking about this risk when he promised and agreed with Daoling Vast Habitat. He hated Wu Xu for being useless and allowing his Wenyi Temple, which had spread for thousands of years, to be wiped out today!
He was unwilling...
How could Wenyi Palace die just like that? How would he answer to the spirits of the Seniors above?
The gold and silver lights flashed as 12 thin blades forcefully sliced the body protecting energy and chopped up his body! A ball of blood appeared in the sky and fell downwards. His last bit of Spiritual Sense was also finally destroyed.
At this moment, apart from Zong Shou there was no one left in Wenyi Temple.
Apart from the chaotic pieces of dust, there was also a patch of dark red flesh.
The silver light seemed to be really excited. After killing Xiyue, it actually gave out crisp chirping sounds like a teen singing, the voice spreading throughout the wilderness.
It was flying in the air and dancing around in an elegant manner. Then, there were six silver lights which gathered together, bringing with it an eye-catching and bright trail.
The golden light flashed and landed on Zong Shou’s shoulder.
Zong Shou was expressionless. He used Sword Energy as a knife to carve a “three” below. Then, he looked toward Hanxi deep in thought.
This Saint Fire Ant Queen’s strength grew so quickly. Looking at the situation, it was about to advance.
To step into the Spirit Realm ahead of him...
So that was the case. Natural Variants advanced fastest not by swallowing metal, but by killing!
They were born by the Vengeful Energy in Heaven and Earth. Only by destroying more living beings and killing everything that they could kill, were they able to grow swiftly!
This was his natural Protector Beast, which was why he could sense Hanxi’s urge and desire for flesh, the craving to kill living beings.
His brow rose up, then he scoffed.
Why not?
He flicked out and four black streams of light flew out from his sleeves.
Two of them were swallowed by Little Gold.
The other two entered Hanxi’s body.
This was the Chill Spirit Death Energy. After Gong Xinran left, these four pieces of energy were left.
Although its value dropped significantly, it was still a rare Earth Grade Spiritual Item.
Zong Shou was hesitating about whether to merge it into his One Origin Soul Sword or to feed his two Spiritual Beasts.
At this moment, Little Gold had followed him for 10 years and was about to advance. Hanxi was also going to step into the Spirit Realm so as their Master, he should want the best for them!
His sleeves waved as he once again stepped toward the west.
Two hours. 5,700 lives. The next stop was 1,300 miles away, Wuwei Temple!
