Chapter 543 The Eyes of the Palace Masters

Several palace masters also engaged in numerous battles with the Nirvana heretics of the Sun-Covering Alliance. In order to reduce accidental injuries to lower-level cultivators, the battles were all fought in the air, and the consumption of energy was enormous during the mutual combat.

However, the gap between good and evil is not that large. To truly kill them, unless one is exceptionally talented and has combat power far exceeding that of cultivators at the same level, the difficulty is extremely high.

So after several rounds of fighting, neither side suffered any fatalities, but many were seriously injured.

Whenever they were exhausted or injured, they would naturally return to their warships to rest and recuperate.

The temple masters, of course, also witnessed the battle fought by Wu Shaogan and their War God Temple reinforcements, and found them to have performed exceptionally well, which they greatly appreciated. In particular, Wu Shaogan at level seven, and Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing at levels six, were outstanding, making them even more proud.

However, as time went on, they discovered that the fighting style of Wu Shaogan and Wu Dongxiao, the uncle and nephew, was a bit too aggressive.

Being tough is a good thing. Even if you're ruthless, it's still killing enemies on the battlefield, so it's fine.

However, after more than a month, Wu Shaogan started acting strangely.

To be honest, he was acting increasingly strangely.

The Blood Dragon and Millstone techniques, for example, initially had a majestic and domineering feel, but later, the surrounding black evil energy, the black patterns on the ground, and the countless black threads... all led them down a path of evil from which there was no turning back.

The temple masters are all discerning; they can see that the method of melting the evil corpse and using an array is very similar to that of the Poison Toad Ancestor. The black evil aura and the obvious influence on Wu Shaogan also vaguely bear the mark of Chief Temple Master Pei.

They also knew that before the great battle between good and evil in the Red Mist Mountain, Wu Shaogan had never seen the methods of the Poison Toad Ancestor, nor had he ever seen the Chief Palace Master Pei take action.

In other words, Wu Shaogan gained many insights simply by observing the epic battle between the Poison Toad Ancestor and the Grand Hall Master Pei, and quickly applied them to his own use on the battlefield of the Sun-Covering Mountains, even comprehending this new secret technique.

It is indeed very eerie.

After all, the Poison Toad Ancestor was originally a heretical and powerful figure.

And their Chief Palace Master Pei... when he really got excited, he was more or less not so upright.

Beyond the supernatural, there is no doubt that...

Very intelligent.

For the War God Temple, having such a young top genius with such comprehension and talent is a great thing. Perhaps in the future, even if the two Tongtian masters of the two forces perish, Wu Shaogan can take their place!

At the same time, Wu Shaogan's condition is also a cause for concern.

Many of the temple masters did not believe that Wu Shaogan would go astray.

However, Wu Shaogan's current behavior makes it seem like he's already somewhat out of control...

No matter what kind of secret technique it is, it is ultimately not good if you cannot master it at will.

·

Seemingly sensing the concerns of the palace masters, Jiang Chongguang readily continued to transmit his voice.

[Just let Shaogan and Cai'er spend more time together later.]

The palace masters: "..."

Jiang Chongguang watched Wu Shaogan dominate the battlefield, his eyes filled with pride.

Stop acting like this. You're probably lovesick from being apart from Cai'er for too long.

The many temple masters fell silent once again.

They suddenly felt a toothache.

So, the reason why Wu Shaogan has made himself look like a ghost is because he and his Daoist partner have been separated for so long and haven't been able to see each other.

One of the temple lords paused for a moment, then scratched his face.

[I've heard that Shao Gan and Zhong Danwang from next door are indeed a very close couple. They used to be inseparable, practically never seen apart. Since they're here to provide support, it would be good to have Zhong Danwang handle the logistics as well.]

The other hall masters shook their heads.

【Palace Master Sun, haven't you noticed? It's not that King Zhong Dan next door doesn't want to come over, but he simply can't spare the time. He's been given a lot of tasks over there, and he doesn't know how long it will take to complete them.】

Indeed, Zhong Danwang's skill in alchemy is comparable to Shao Gan's skill in martial arts.

There are indeed many patients to treat, otherwise we would have called them all over from the beginning...

The temple masters looked at each other, then simply watched the battle unfold.

Although their level of understanding was higher, Wu Shaogan's ability to adapt and utilize what he learned from observing the Battle of Tongtian was also quite remarkable.

They also watched the game, but their insights might not have been as profound as Wu Shaogan's.

Looking at things more now can corroborate what you've learned, and might even help you gain some insights...

They hadn't looked closely before because they were mostly engaged in combat, and what they saw back then wasn't as comprehensive as it is now.

What we see today is already a very mature secret technique.

Jiang Chongguang had already been observing and had gained some insights of his own.

·

The lords of Nirvana Temple could see it clearly, let alone Tongtian?

Li Zhaotian, the Supreme Elder of the Nine Sounds Sect who was stationed on the battlefield, had previously focused primarily on another figure, the Ancestor Tongtian Yanri.

He only looked over when Wu Shaogan's commotion became too big.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhaotian frowned slightly.

He can glean these insights simply by observing; imagine how much more he'll gain when he becomes even more powerful...

Li Zhaotian knew that Wu Shaogan would always be at the top of the Sky Ranking from the moment he was able to enter it. However, no matter how powerful the experts ahead of him were, once they reached the Nirvana Realm and entered the eighth level of the Sky Ranking, it would be many times more difficult for them to reach the top again...

But now Li Zhaotian feels that even if Wu Shaogan climbs to the top of the eighth-level list, it might not be slower than climbing the list at the previous levels.

Such incredible talent...

Li Zhaotian's heart sank slightly.

It's a pity that Wu Shaogan is not a disciple of their Nine Sounds Sect.

With a sigh, Li Zhaotian looked away.

It seems that the Temple of War will become even more powerful in the future.

The Nine Sounds Sect invited the War God Temple as an ally this time, so they should give them more generous compensation to cultivate goodwill and perhaps reap some benefits in the future...

·

On the battlefield.

Because Wu Shaogan's combat strength is so outstanding, his battle process is even more unlikely to be smooth sailing.

As Wu Shaogan, enveloped in black malevolent energy, continued to pluck the bowstring and release a large number of black threads, a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared behind him and bombarded him heavily!

"Buzz—"

A long, drawn-out sound.

But it wasn't Zhong Ming.

Suddenly, a shield as tall as a person appeared behind Wu Shaogan, protecting him firmly.

The powerful energy of the bombardment struck the shield precisely.

In an instant, the energy was scattered, flowing in all directions, and some of it even bounced back.

The shield appears to be only this wide, and the flowing energy should be able to bypass it from other directions and engulf Wu Shaogan—but the shield's defense is not limited to this.

The wider the energy overflows, the wider the invisible defense expands.

This bombardment couldn't harm Wu Shaogan in the slightest!

·

The attack came from a Nirvana cultivator, but unfortunately the shield was a level nine defensive artifact.

Wu Shaogan, amidst the black aura, reacted extremely quickly. The instant he sensed the attack, a golden cone appeared in his hand without him even realizing it.

That awl was as fast as lightning!

No, it should be said to be faster than lightning.

As the shield blocked the attack, the golden cone was quietly released amidst the reverberating boom.

The golden cone shot out with incredible speed, aiming for Nirvana's neck as Nirvana resisted the rebounding energy!

The expression of the heretical cultivator who had attained Nirvana suddenly changed!

The golden cone was too sudden and too fast!

The Nirvana heretic cultivator only had time to dodge to the side, narrowly avoiding the golden cone's stab, but he couldn't launch a second attack on Wu Shaogan.

At that moment, a tall and burly man landed a little over ten feet away from Wu Shaogan.

The man moved with incredible speed, heading straight for the Nirvana-level evil cultivator!

The heretical cultivators of Nirvana quickly put up a counterattack.

The next moment, the two were locked in combat.

It was at this moment that they quickly took to the air and began a fierce aerial battle.

Wu Shaogan, a dark-skinned man exuding a menacing aura, remained standing in the same spot, as if nothing had happened.

What's even more interesting is that many evil cultivators at or below level seven had already flocked here before, and they are still rushing towards this place...

It was as if the Nirvana heretic had never launched a sneak attack, and then no burly man had lured the Nirvana heretic away.

Naturally, these evil cultivators who rushed at them were quickly turned into corpses, into black patterns, and into part of Wu Shaogan's secret technique...

·

The Nirvana evil cultivator who launched the sneak attack was a powerful member of the Sun-Covering Alliance. This was his first sneak attack, but there had been many before him.

However, every sneak attack, no matter how powerful the Nirvana evil cultivator was, was blocked by that shield.

After the shield is activated, righteous Nirvana cultivators from the Temple of War Gods or the Nine Sounds Sect will go to block the evil Nirvana cultivators who want to continue attacking.

Then came the clash between the righteous and evil factions, a battle that raged through the air...

This has happened many times already.

The heretical Nirvana was not resigned to his fate and always tried to find a moment when Wu Shaogan's consciousness was weak, so that he would be caught off guard and unable to stop himself.

Unfortunately, Wu Shaogan's awareness was never weak.

The powerful figures on the righteous path naturally knew how much effort Wu Shaogan had put in on the battlefield. No matter how strange he looked, someone among them would always notice his condition in time.

The righteous Nirvana cultivators would not allow the evil Nirvana cultivators to attack Wu Shaogan repeatedly—no matter how strong Wu Shaogan is, he is ultimately just a Spirit Transformation cultivator. Although his shield is level nine and seems to be able to automatically protect its master, if the evil Nirvana cultivators attack Wu Shaogan for a long time, Wu Shaogan may not be able to stay unharmed.

Therefore, no matter how long Wu Shaogan can withstand the attacks of the evil path's Nirvana, the righteous path will at most only allow him to be ambushed once or twice before inevitably intervening.

Even if others don't notice...

Jiang Chongguang will eventually find out.

He would never allow his only disciple to be left isolated and helpless!

The one who is blocking that evil path to Nirvana at this moment is none other than Jiang Chongguang.

Now, Jiang Chongguang unleashed his most powerful force, frantically bombarding the evil Nirvana in mid-air.

·

On the other side, the fleet of warships moved swiftly forward and gradually entered the western river basin.

We will arrive at the Lingxian Sect and the War God Palace soon.

Once within the territory of the Western River Region, many flying artifacts from other forces that had accompanied the level nine warships also broke away from the fleet and returned to their own territories when they were relatively close to their respective forces.

Of course, the patients who still needed treatment, along with their fellow members and companions, still came together outside the Lingxian Sect.
