Chapter 147 Where Does She Have the Time? (4000 words)
Bai Rushue stared intently at the Linglong Tower that was approaching.
Just when the Linglong Tower was about to fall and suppress her,
A breeze suddenly blew past my face.
The wind is mixed with the faint scent of ink, which is refreshing.
When the Linglong Tower was only ten feet away from Bai Rushue, it stopped in mid-air and could no longer fall.
The breeze, like turning pages of a book, seemed to turn into a pair of invisible big hands, holding up the Linglong Tower steadily.
Taoist Tianqiong frowned and turned to look into the distance.
He saw a man in a green shirt, holding a long sword, walking towards him step by step.
With every step he took, his figure instantly appeared several feet away.
When he got close enough, before Taoist Tianqiong could even speak, the scholar in green had already raised his sword and swung it down.
Taoist Tianqiong's heart suddenly trembled, and he instinctively wanted to dodge, but the sword was as fast as thunder, and he had no time to react.
Taoist Tianqiong's huge Dharma body took the sharp sword attack head-on.
Suddenly, spider-web-like cracks appeared on his body, which was as powerful as heaven and earth, like broken porcelain.
The scholar in green turned his wrist and swung his sword again without hesitation.
"Buzz!"
The sharp sword energy broke through the air and hit the tower body of Linglong Tower with precision.
The Linglong Tower was knocked back by the powerful sword energy, and its light flickered.
Looking at the familiar figure not far away, Bai Rushue looked dazed, as if in a dream.
For her, the separation from Xiao Mo seemed to have happened just yesterday.
However, when his eyes fell on Xiao Mo's weather-beaten face and the glaring silver threads mixed in his few strands of black hair.
Bai Ruxue felt extremely sad, wondering what Xiao Mo had encountered over the years.
Xiao Mo looked at the white dragon lying on the ground, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took a step forward and came to her side.
"Xiao Mo...your neck..."
Bai Rushue turned into a human form, her eyes trembling.
The woman stretched out her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly as she carefully touched the sword mark on his neck.
"It's okay." Xiao Mo smiled reassuringly, his tone calm, "How could you not have some scars on your body after fighting for your life on the battlefield? It's okay. Look, I'm standing here perfectly fine now, aren't I?"
Bai Ruxue pursed her bloodless lips tightly, trying to suppress her surging emotions.
"Okay, leave everything from now on to me."
Xiao Mo reached out, gently held Bai Rushue's delicate wrist, and explained in a quick tone.
"Xiaoqing went to seek revenge on the sect that invaded the North Sea that year, but in fact, she fell into a trap carefully laid by others. Their ultimate target is actually you.
Xiaoqing is just a bait being used to make you feel that Xiaoqing is in life and death crisis and lure you out.
Fortunately... I arrived in time."
Bai Ruxue's eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist: "But even so, you shouldn't have come"
Xiao Mo looked at Bai Ruxue's golden vertical pupils and said with a smile: "You shouldn't have come either."
"That's different." Bai Ruxue shook her head, her voice choking with sobs, "Xiaoqing is my biological sister."
"What's the difference?" Xiao Mo's smile deepened, his eyes burning, "You are the woman I love."
"..." Bai Ruxue's throat moved slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end she just lowered her head, and with infinite tenderness and anger, she cursed in a low voice, "Fool..."
"Okay, I'll take care of everything." Xiao Mo rubbed the woman's hair lovingly. "By the way, let me borrow the sword in your hand."
"What's mine is yours."
"good."
Xiao Mo held the Immortal-Slaying Sword, turned around resolutely, and locked his eyes with the Taoist of the Sky who was floating high in the sky.
Taoist Tianqiong wiped the blood from his lips, glared at Xiao Mo, and shouted, "Xiao Mo! What do you intend to do? As a dignified Confucian saint, how dare you openly protect the demon race?"
"Back then, Confucian Ding Chen disobeyed the Palace Master's orders and led the twelve sects into the North Sea without authorization, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent demon cultivators. Today, the North Sea Dragon Clan has come to seek revenge. I will not say much."
Xiao Mo's calm voice echoed clearly between heaven and earth.
“In contrast, Your Excellency secretly planned and deliberately caused the leaders of the Red Lotus Sect, the Water Lin Sect and other sects to be seriously injured one after another, and then leaked this news to the North Sea Dragon Clan.
That is, they used the North Sea Dragon Clan to eliminate these sects, intending to annex their blessed lands, caves and sect heritage.
He also took the opportunity to lure out the North Sea Dragon Clan, intending to slaughter them all and refine the dragons.
Your Excellency's calculations are truly well calculated."
"What nonsense!"
Taoist Tianqiong was furious and retorted harshly.
"I am solely dedicated to ridding the world of demons, and I have absolutely no selfish motives! Xiao Mo, you are lying and slandering my reputation. Is this the behavior of a saint?"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you will know it in your heart."
Xiao Mo had no intention of arguing with him.
When Xiao Mo met Shang Jiuli and heard her guess, he also realized that there was something strange about the matter.
He asked Shang Jiuli for a large number of files and documents about the serious injuries of the leaders of the Red Lotus Sect and others.
On the way to Black Mountain Sect, he made repeated deductions and finally came to this conclusion.
Taoist Tianqiong narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He obviously did not want to continue arguing:
"Xiao Mo, I consider you the youngest Confucian saint of our time, and that you have made great military achievements for the Wanfa World. If you leave now, I will forgive you for rescuing the demon race just now."
"What if I insist on not leaving?"
"Arrogant boy, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Taoist Tianqiong quickly made hand gestures with his hands, and the exquisite pagoda shone brightly again, carrying a tremendous force as it fiercely suppressed Xiao Mo and Bai Rushue.
“Roar!!!”
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, a giant dragon formed by the purest black righteous energy rose into the sky from behind Xiao Mo and slammed into the Linglong Tower that was suppressing it.
At the same time, Xiao Mo held the long sword and swung out another sword light that tore through the sky, slashing towards Tianqiong Taoist.
At the same time, Bai Ruxue also transformed into a dragon and fought forward side by side with Xiao Mo.
As a cultivator in the Ascension Realm, every sword swing of Xiao Mo contains the majestic true meaning of the Great Dao.
However, after a fierce battle for a while, Taoist Tianqiong keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Xiao Mo's breath.
The fluctuations of his spiritual power became increasingly chaotic, and his complexion was abnormally pale, as if he had been seriously injured and had not yet recovered. At this moment, he was only forcibly suppressing his injuries and fighting with all his might.
Xiao Mo had no intention of killing Taoist Tianqiong in one fell swoop.
Firstly, Taoist Tianqiong is a veteran in the late stage of the Ascension Realm, and his cultivation level is two small realms higher than his. Killing him here is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Secondly, his own physical condition made it difficult for him to sustain such a high-intensity fight.
So, Xiao Mo seized a fleeting opportunity and swung the sword in his hand fiercely.
"boom!"
The sword energy was like a rainbow, accurately hitting the birdcage that covered the entire Black Mountain Sect, completely breaking the birdcage.
"escape!"
Xiao Mo shouted at the monsters of the North Sea Dragon Clan.
At the same time, he waved his hand, and a majestic and righteous energy surged out and merged into the clouds in the sky.
In an instant, four or five huge cloud dragons formed by white clouds roared and pounced on the human monks below, forcibly opening up a path for the monsters to evacuate.
"Walk!"
Xiaoqing and the other dragons did not hesitate at all, knowing that staying would only become a burden.
The dragons immediately turned into streams of light and fled in all directions at a rapid speed.
Other human cultivators who want to pursue must first break through the obstruction of the cloud dragons.
"Let's go too!"
Feeling that the monsters had escaped to a safe distance, Xiao Mo grabbed Bai Rushue's wrist, turned sharply, and flew towards the desolate land.
Bai Rushue understood what he meant and instantly transformed into a dragon, letting Xiao Mo sit on her.
Xiao Mo bit his fingertip and wrote a vigorous and powerful word "wind" in the air with his own blood.
The blood-colored word "wind" drifted away with the wind, turning into a powerful thrust that instantly added to Bai Rushue's huge dragon body.
However, Taoist Tianqiong used a magic weapon.
He stepped on the void continuously, crossed the long distance in an instant, and stood in front of Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue again.
Immediately afterwards, Taoist Tianqiong made a hand gesture and a series of solid clones appeared, completely blocking the way of the man and the dragon from all directions.
"The only option is to fight."
Almost at the same moment, Xiao Mo and Bai Rushue were in sync with each other and burst out with their strongest momentum, attacking Taoist Tianqiong fiercely.
Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue both manifested the laws of heaven and earth.
"I am good at nurturing my great and righteous energy. This energy is extremely great and strong. If I cultivate it with integrity and without harm, it will fill the space between heaven and earth."
As Xiao Mo recited the Confucian classics aloud, a majestic and righteous spirit surged out like a tide, instantly covering the huge white dragon transformed by Bai Rushue.
At this moment, the white dragon was like wearing an invisible and intangible yet indestructible armor, and he was able to withstand the deadly sword light from the Taoist Tianqiong.
Then Bai Ruxue's huge dragon tail, carrying the power of wind and thunder, hit Tianqiong Taoist's Dharma body hard.
Taoist Tianqiong was knocked back repeatedly by this huge force and was in a miserable state.
He suppressed the shock and quickly controlled the immortal weapon Linglong Tower to suppress Xiao Mo's Fa Tian Xiang Di!
"The Master, standing by a river, said: 'The passing of time is like this flowing stream! It never stops, day or night.'"
Xiao Mo recited the scriptures again, and his words were followed by the Dharma.
In an instant, an illusory vast river appeared out of thin air about ten feet in front of him.
The flow of the river suddenly became extremely slow, as if time itself had come to a standstill.
As Xiao Mo calmly avoided the suppression of Linglong Tower, a longbow appeared out of thin air in his hand.
This bow is called "Sun-Shooting Bow". It is a semi-immortal weapon that Xiao Mo obtained after he killed a great demon in the immortal realm.
Xiao Mo held the bow in his left hand and pulled the bowstring with his right hand. A golden arrow feather quickly formed on the bowstring.
The bowstring hums and the arrow flies away!
From the time Xiao Mo Nian recited the Confucian classics to the time the arrow was shot, less than a breath of time passed.
The moment when the illusory river water dissipated and the flow of time returned to normal.
The golden arrow shot by Xiao Mo had turned into a stream of light and pierced through the chest of Taoist Tianqiong with incredible precision.
"puff!"
A large mouthful of blood spurted out of Tianqiong Taoist's mouth, and his breath instantly weakened.
He hurriedly took out an elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, forcibly suppressing the injury.
"As expected of a Confucian sage."
Taoist Tianqiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Xiao Mo with a cold gaze.
"If you were at your peak strength right now, I would have already turned tail and fled like a lost dog. Unfortunately, Xiao Mo, you're seriously injured. I'm afraid that battle in the Ascension Realm damaged your foundation!"
Before he finished speaking, Taoist Tianqiong quickly formed seals with his hands and suddenly threw a blood-red bead into the sky.
The red bead suddenly shattered in the sky, turning into red dots of light and dissipating into nothingness.
Immediately afterwards, Taoist Tianqiong stretched out his five fingers and grabbed the scorching sun in the sky from a distance.
The scorching sun hanging high in the sky, carrying the power to burn everything, fell towards Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue.
“Roar!”
Three giant dragons formed by the purest black righteous energy roared and rose into the sky, heading towards the falling "sun", holding it tightly with their huge dragon bodies, trying their best to stop its falling momentum.
Bai Ruxue stood in front of Xiao Mo with a serious expression.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Mo gave her a reassuring smile and said softly, "This scorching sun was transformed from that red bead. It's just like snow. Just let go of your consciousness and accept my spiritual power with all your heart."
"Huh?" Bai Ruxue was startled when she heard that, but then nodded, "Okay!"
Although she was full of doubts, she had absolute trust in Xiao Mo and immediately followed his instructions and completely removed all her spiritual defenses.
Whether it is for the human race or the demon race, only when one has unreserved trust in a person will they completely open their hearts and minds.
Xiao Mo stretched out his hand and gently held Bai Ruxue's slender fingers.
In an instant, a warm and peaceful spiritual power, like a gurgling warm current, flowed into Bai Rushue's body without any hindrance.
This spiritual power flows through her internal organs, limbs and bones, nourishing every spiritual orifice and meridian.
Bai Ruxue couldn't help but bite her thin lips.
Xiao Mo's spiritual power brought her an indescribable sense of comfort.
Bai Rushue clearly felt that the evil spirit in her body, like a maggot in her tarsal bones, was being rapidly dissolved by this spiritual power.
This is the merit of the human race!
Bai Ruxue understood instantly that Xiao Mo had given her all the human merit power he had accumulated so far without reservation.
Bai Ruxue looked at the profile of her beloved, and her expression became more complicated.
Over the years, most of what Xiao Mo did was probably to accumulate merit for the human race and to heal his own injuries.
The whole process took less than two breaths.
When Taoist Tianqiong finally realized Xiao Mo's intention and wanted to stop him, the last trace of evil spirit around Bai Rushue had been completely cleansed away.
However, Taoist Tianqiong did not show much regret on his face, but instead a hint of sneer appeared on his face.
Although the evil spirit has been removed, the damage to her foundation caused by the long-term erosion by the evil spirit will require at least half a year of rest before she can recover.
But right now, where does she have the time?
