Chapter 577 Knife Slave
The Shaoyang Guards in the camp whispered to each other and frowned, feeling that Mo Duanfeng's proposal was inappropriate.
Chu Yutian is so cunning and intelligent that whether he will be deceived is secondary.
The ancient country of Suiyuexu is located in the netherworld of the dead, which is naturally beneficial to the Taiyin Sect. If they cannot kill it in one battle and expose it in the open, it is not a bait, but clearly feeding it.
In a word, the risk is too great and they cannot afford the cost of failure.
Mo Duanfeng was well aware of the principle that "people's minds differ, and they seek security and fear loss." To get things done, he sometimes needed the power of decision-making. So, he said, "I heard that your Shaoyang Division will spend twenty years defeating Chu Yutian and killing half of the Taiyin Envoys. This news has become a joke in Holy Kyoto!"
"Shaoyang Sishengsi, in the East China Sea, used talismans refined by others and the flame of great immortality to kill Qin Zhengyang, who was far more powerful than her. She did regain a little bit of face."
"But only by killing Chu Yutian can the Sentinel Army avenge its shame."
"This isn't just a matter for your Dongxu Camp; it's the dignity of the entire Sentinel Army."
"Your reputation in the Dongxu Camp can be trampled upon by the Taiyin Cult for twenty years. You can swallow your pride and endure the ridicule and insults with a clear conscience, but the Taixu Camp and the Zulong Camp cannot tolerate it. For twenty years, you will only be deceiving yourselves."
"If you're scared, if you're afraid, you don't have to go to the Ancient Country of Suiyuexu. But get out of the Sentinel Army. There's no such thing as a coward like you in the Sentinel Army. We're facing the most dangerous enemy. We're standing on the line between life and death. If we retreat and become cowardly, there's no hope for the human race."
His remarks sparked public outrage.
The eyes of all the Shaoyang guards turned cold.
"Please take back what you said." Xu Daoqing's tone was sharp, and every word was like a sword.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Mo Duanfeng continued with a contemptuous look and a smile, "What did I say wrong? With our help, the opportunity to kill Chu Yutian was right before your eyes, but you insisted on waiting for twenty years. From top to bottom, you are timid and have no fighting spirit or spirit."
"In the final analysis, it's because you lack strength and are afraid of the enemy's strength. I've insulted you so much, but none of you has the courage to come up and teach me a lesson. You're so scared of me that when you see Chu Yutian, won't you kneel down and beg for mercy, and become his slaves and servants?"
"Shaoyang Si Chi is vast, please Mo Duanfeng give me some advice."
"Shaoyang Si Qiucheng, I'll break your Wind-Breaking Blade."
Chi Haohan and Qiu Cheng rushed up to the platform almost at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right, with all their magical energy bursting out. One of them clenched his fist and the other pinched his fingers, attacking Mo Duanfeng.
The two of them, one was a giant with a huge body, about six or seven meters tall, with scriptures flashing on his armor, and he had infinite strength, with the power to swallow the sky and drink the sea.
The other one was as agile as lightning, with a quick speed. A dazzling light shone from his brows, and his arms turned jade-colored as he pinched his fingers.
They themselves did not expect that they would attack at the same time.
“Wow!”
The formation pattern on the high platform was instantly activated by the magic energy erupting from the two people, turning into a battle platform of formation light.
Tang Wanzhou did not stop him, and he and Baichuan floated back and flew out of the formation platform.
“Boom!”
Mo Duanfeng did not mobilize his magic energy to activate the defense of the three layers of armor on his body, nor did he perform any Taoist magic. He raised one arm and used his forearm to block the fierce punch of Chi Haohan, which was several times larger than his body.
"Bang!"
At the same time, Qiu Cheng's fingertips touched the ancestral field on Mo Duanfeng's abdomen. Waves of energy rippled across the armor, creating a buzzing sound.
Qiu Cheng showed a look of joy.
Even if the opponent is wearing three layers of armor, this finger can definitely penetrate the armor and seriously injure him.
Mo Duanfeng stood steadily in place and kicked Qiu Cheng away.
With Qiu Cheng's speed, he didn't even have time to dodge or react. He was already spitting blood, and his body collided with the light curtain of the formation. He fell down softly and knelt on one knee.
"boom!"
On the other side, Chi Haohan seemed furious, large and stupid, but his fighting acumen was extraordinary. The moment Mo Duanfeng swung his arm towards him, he knew he couldn't dodge, so he counterattacked with his massive body, diving down.
Before the opponent's palm force lands on your body, you must use flesh to hit flesh, armor to hit armor.
His armor had already been activated, releasing both defensive sutras and offensive power simultaneously. However, the opponent, relying on his advanced cultivation, had not activated his armor, clearly underestimating the enemy and being overconfident.
As one side gains strength, the other loses strength. Even though Chi Haohan knows that the other side is stronger than him, he still feels that he has a chance of winning.
With a bang, it was like two huge mountains of immortal iron colliding.
The sound of metal collision exploded in everyone's ears.
The battle arena was filled with sparks and storms.
After the collision, Mo Duanfeng took a step back, but Chi Haohan was thrown out directly by him, hitting the light curtain of the formation heavily and stumbling to the ground.
Chi Haohan had a terrible headache. Although his body had withstood the blow just now, his brain seemed to be shaken and his vision went dark. It took him several breaths to recover.
During this time, Mo Duanfeng did not take any action, but just looked at him coldly.
This arrogant look is more effective than knocking him down directly.
Seeing Chi Haohan recover, Mo Duanfeng spoke, "Being able to repel me just one step, you're now qualified to enter the 'Immortal Land List.' In just one year, you've refined two balls of Dragon Soul Source Light, advancing from the early to the middle stage of the Third Realm. Your cultivation has indeed advanced significantly, reaching the level you'd achieve ten years from now. However, this also limits your ability to control the Dharma Energy and scriptures within you. If you can calmly cultivate for a few months, your combat power will increase by at least 20%, and then you'll truly reach the middle stage of the Third Realm."
Chi Haohan did not make another move.
After just a brief confrontation, the other party saw through him completely.
It can be seen that although Mo Duanfeng acts radically, he is by no means reckless or ignorant. Perhaps, he really has the confidence to kill Chu Yutian.
Mo Duanfeng's gaze fell on Xu Daoqing, the scholar, and the Pipa girl: "Who of you is the best fighter? If anyone among you can force me to use the sword in my box, this matter will be over. If you don't even have this ability, I don't think I have the right to command you."
The three of them are the strongest in Shaoyang Division, and they are all in their eighties or nineties.
A martial artist in the third realm of the Longevity Realm has a lifespan of three hundred years, so eighty or ninety years old is definitely considered very young.
However, Saint Tang Wanzhou is only more talented, and his cultivation is still at the second level.
Xu Daoqing stepped onto the battle stage, took out a dust cloud, and a purple cloud rose above his head. "Before we fight, I have three questions for Mr. Mo on behalf of the Shaoyang Division."
"You ask." Mo Duanfeng said.
Xu Daoqing asked: "The first question is, Mr. Mo, do you understand Chu Yutian's cultivation strength?"
Mo Duanfeng said, "The Taixu Camp is responsible for monitoring the Taixu Realm. They have the most dealings with the Taiyin Sect, have the most personnel deployed within the Taiyin Sect, and possess the most detailed intelligence about the Taiyin Sect. We provided you with the information about Qin Zhengyang's meeting with Daogong Zhenchuan during the Lantern Festival."
"I've analyzed all of Chu Yutian's battle records over the past ten years, repeatedly studying the details of each battle and knowing all his trump cards. I understand him even better than he understands himself."
Xu Daoqing pondered for a moment, and his resentment towards Mo Duanfeng faded. At least he knew that he was taking his opponent very seriously. He then asked, "Second question, Mr. Mo, do you know how many masters of the Taiyin Church have entered the ancient country of Suiyuexu?"
"It's the same answer. Our spies in the Taiyin Sect will deliver the information to me." Mo Duanfeng said.
Xu Daoqing asked, "The third question is, if we fail, how do we escape?"
"If an accident really happens, I have a transcendent escape technique that I have spent more than ten years cultivating and condensed in my armor. It is enough to help everyone get out." Mo Duanfeng said.
"I have no problem anymore!"
On the battle stage of the formation, Xu Daoqing's magic energy and thoughts burst out, and purple clouds filled the air, like thousands of chains intertwined.
Mo Duanfeng showed a cautious expression for the first time, and flashing scriptures appeared on his armor.
Below, Chang Yujian said, "It seems that Master Xu's cultivation has reached the peak of the third realm. Even if it is an ancient sect disciple in the early third realm, it will not be easy to defeat him."
"Can this Broken Wind Blade be compared to the true teachings of the ancient sect at the third level?"
Li Weiyi didn't know much about Mo Duanfeng, he only knew that he was very strong, so strong that no one could figure out his bottom line, and he already had the aura of immortality.
Chang Yujian shook her head slightly. "Without a personal fight, who knows what level a person of this level is? Even with enough Dragon Soul Light to help us, we'd have to wait ten years before we'd be qualified to fight him now. Someone as famous as him must have real talent and skills."
"Legend has it that the martial arts emperor of Shengjing once commented on him, 'Dao Nu'er, Dao Nu'er, truly a fine sword worth sharpening.'"
"You know, even for Da Changsheng and Chaoran, it's not easy to catch the eye of the Martial Arts Emperor. How high a talent does one have to be to be considered a good swordsman?"
Lu Qing said: "The rules in the Holy Capital are very strict. It's no wonder that he came from there."
"In the Forbidden City, he is used to the majesty of the emperor. He must have learned the ability to be decisive and ruthless from that martial arts emperor." Liu Ye said.
The scholar interrupted: "Don't you think that reaching his level of cultivation strength at the age of seventy-two is a terrifying thing?"
The four of them nodded in agreement.
In the Lingxiao realm, achieving immortality in the sixtieth year is considered rare. Cultivating from the first realm to the second realm within ten years is usually only possible with the true disciples of the ancient sects. And the further one advances, the harder it becomes to achieve a breakthrough.
The winner will be decided on the battle stage.
Mo Duanfeng saw the metal knife box on his back fly up, and he raised the box above his head with one hand.
The scabbard fell, splitting the purple sea of clouds held up by Xu Daoqing.
"boom!"
A blinding flash of sword light appeared, stirring up a whirring wind. Instantly, all of Xu Daoqing's defenses were broken, and he retreated with regret.
The whisk slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.
The knife box smashed the battle platform of the formation, and the battle platform completely collapsed, and even the defensive formation was annihilated.
“I lost!”
Xu Daoqing retreated to a distance, his fingers bleeding continuously. He stared at the figure wearing three layers of armor opposite him with an incredible look.
He knew there was a gap between him and the other party.
But when he was at the Daozhong realm, he could fight the young emperor at the same level with equal force. But now, at the same level, he didn't even have the qualifications to force the other party to draw his sword, and was defeated!
Mo Duanfeng said, "Although I didn't use a sword, I did use sword techniques. If you hone your skills at the peak of the Third Realm for ten years, I will definitely not be able to defeat you without a sword. Currently, among the twelve Taiyin Envoys, the only ones who can definitely defeat you are Zi Envoy Luo Yinji and Chen Envoy Qing Zao."
"Seiji, do you want to fight?"
Tang Wanzhou shook his head and said, "The deputy sentry just sent me a message, saying that all matters should be decided by the three of us, and discord is the most important thing to avoid. You two have already made your decision, and can you change it by fighting now?"
Seeing that he had subdued Shaoyang Si, Mo Duanfeng's attitude softened. "The existence of Hai Shi is too dangerous. The sooner we use him, the sooner we can get rid of him, lest we end up making things worse."
"Also, once we enter the ancient country of Suiyuexu, we will meet Chu Yutian sooner or later. As far as I know, Chu Yutian is not far from breaking through, and we can't give him any more time. So after discussing with Baichuan, we feel that this battle should be started sooner rather than later. I hope you can understand."
Tang Wanzhou said nothing, went straight down the mountain and headed towards the camp hall.
Mo Duanfeng watched her back, not taking it too seriously. "To enter the ancient country of Suiyuexu, everyone should prepare at least ten years' worth of supplies. We will set off in three days."
