Chapter 75 It was him! Zou Buming only glanced at it before continuing on...

Zou Buming glanced at it only once before continuing on his way.

Wu Chen was not surprised by his actions. He took a few steps, stood in front of the girl, and slowly drew the Taiyi Sword.

But then, Zou Buming unexpectedly stopped and said to Wu Chen, "Why do you have to get involved in this mess? As long as you don't interfere, I can agree to whatever you want in the future."

Wu Chen gently advised, "A wise man knows what to do and what not to do. Pull back from the brink of disaster, and you'll be on the right track."

Zou Buming sighed, "It's easier said than done."

Wu Chen smiled and said, "We have to give it a try."

Zou Buming looked at the girl being protected behind Wu Chen, seemingly with a headache. After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "How about..."

Just as everyone was listening intently, the sword in his hand moved with lightning speed, unexpectedly piercing straight towards Qi Wu.

Qi Wu stood to the side, very close to Zou Buming. In an instant, Zou Buming's sword was already inches away.

But it's so close at hand.

Zou Buming pressed on with great speed, so fast that even Wu Chen couldn't stop him.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sudden scene, all expecting Qi Wu to be killed instantly.

However, Zou Buming failed. He sensed a thick, impenetrable barrier between him and Qi Wu. Zou Buming used all his strength to thrust again.

A wave, emitting faint fluorescent light, emanated from the tip of Zou Buming's sword.

Qi Wu smiled as he looked at Zou Buming and calmly took a step back.

Xiu had already drawn a long, strange, black gold sword and slashed at Zou Buming's sword.

With a clang, the two magical weapons bounced apart. Xiu had already moved forward and started fighting with Zou Buming.

Meanwhile, the experts brought by Zou Buming also began fighting with the other forces.

Yu Jitang has not drawn his sword yet. He stands beside the girl, gripping his sword, and warily looks around. "What's going on? Wasn't he after the Spirit Fruit? Why is he attacking Madam Luo?"

Qi Wu, who was not far from him, heard his question and raised his voice slightly, "Yes, Zou Shenshi, weren't you after the Spirit Fruit? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

Zou Buming went all out to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and had no intention of replying to Qi Wu's words.

Qi Wu chuckled. "The Fruit of Spiritual Communication is right before your eyes, yet you've changed your mind. You're choosing me over her, Zou Shenshi. You're truly the only one sober in a world of fools..."

Qi Wu spoke slowly and deliberately, without any haste or impatience, which was very pleasant to listen to. However, Zou Buming's heart skipped a beat, and he casually explained, "Madam Luo knows so much, which is probably more useful than the Fruit of Spirit Communication."

Qi Wu chuckled, "Zou Shen... Shi, there's a saying, 'The more you explain, the worse it gets,' you know?"

Zou Buming was focused on his task when Xiu had already slashed off his sleeve. He quickly took a step back and then sliced ​​off his other sleeve with his sword. "Madam Luo is right." He switched the sword from his right hand back to his left and assumed a starting stance.

The sword energy surged, causing the grass on the ground to ripple and sway, and Zou Buming slowly raised his sword.

Wu Chen and Yu Jitang were both stunned. They had seen this kind of sword intent before, and more than once...

Wu Chen suddenly remembered Qi Wu's question earlier, "Abandon her for me." This question was very meaningful. Zou Buming would never abandon the "Fruit of Spiritual Communication" and rush towards Qi Wu without a reason, unless he had already seen that the "Fruit of Spiritual Communication" was not the Fruit of Spiritual Communication.

This "fruit of spiritual communication" is indeed not a fruit of spiritual communication, but rather something that Wu Yan transformed using the power of the spiritual wood. Even the person who set up this scheme could not see through Wu Yan's true form.

Only those who have merged with the Wuyan clan can see through his true form.

Wu Chen looked at the girl Wu Yan had transformed into, and Wu Yan nodded at him.

Yu Jitang saw it too, and he also realized the key point, exclaiming, "He's not Zou Buming, he is..."

"He" is Zou Gaoyang. The one whom human cultivators look up to, the High Priest of the Divine Palace, the Left-Handed Sword Saint Zou Gaoyang.

The real Zou Buming had already been reburied in the snowy region. No wonder they felt the disfigured corpse looked somewhat familiar.

Yu Jitang covered his mouth tightly, as if afraid that his shock would burst out of his body.

Zou Gaoyang was a man of high moral character and prestige, possessed unparalleled skills, and whose cultivation was unfathomable; everyone in the world knew him. But who could have imagined that his true nature was so despicable?

His act of murdering Zou Buming shocked Yu Jitang more than any of his other schemes. Zou Buming was his direct descendant, his own flesh and blood. If he could be so ruthless, what else wouldn't he do?

Yu Jitang's heart pounded. He couldn't say it, and dared not say it. If others knew that he was actually the priest Zou Gaoyang, all the disciples of the Divine Palace would be too ashamed to show their faces.

While he was lost in thought, Zou Gaoyang had already completed the preparation of his sword move and slashed down at Xiu Yi.

Yu Jitang heard Wu Chen shout "Something's wrong!" and then saw Wu Chen rush over as well.

This is the most powerful move in Zou Gaoyang's swordsmanship, "Sky-Piercing Strike." At the edge of the Western Abyss, Zou Gaoyang had forced back the vine demon with a casual sword strike. But this "Sky-Piercing Strike" is Zou Gaoyang's full-force attack.

This sword strike was comparable to the power of thunder. Zou Gaoyang's spiritual power, accumulated over hundreds of years, seemed to be a torrent from the heavens, surging forward with the momentum of Zou Gaoyang's sword.

Xiu was the first to be hit, but this wasn't the first time he'd encountered this move. Just two years ago, he and the demons had intercepted a powerful human cultivator, who had used the same technique. Although this "Zou Divine Servant" had a different face, the move was exactly the same, only much more powerful.

"It's you again!"

Xiu's face hardened with rage. Although he didn't know how this person's spiritual power had increased so dramatically in just two years, he had absorbed the power of the Scarlet Wood and was now several times stronger than before. Xiu held his sword horizontally in front of his chest, refusing to retreat an inch, and forcefully cleaved a forked path through the torrent of spiritual power.

But then, Xiu was suddenly startled. He protected himself, forgetting that behind him was the Spirit Wood. Zou Gaoyang's sword strike was enough to cleave the Spirit Wood in two.

He turned around abruptly, only to see that Wu Chen had already unleashed a sword aura to protect the Spirit Wood.

However, these were merely two forks in a torrent. Zou Gaoyang's sword intent covered almost every direction in front of him, making it unavoidable.

The sword intent had not yet dissipated, but not far from the spirit-connecting wood, a burst of spiritual light rippled, destroying the illusion created by Huang Mao and his companions. Those lying and standing inside were revealed to the world.

Zou Gaoyang glanced over and saw Lu Qing and Luo Sen lying among the demons. He couldn't help but laugh, "As expected, there's always a way out." With a jerk of his arms, he abandoned Xiu Yi and Wu Chen and pounced on Lu Qing.
