Demon Sword Sect's Undercover-Chapter 530 - 529: One After Another

The events occurring on the ground were unbeknownst to the few fiercely battling in the sky; you couldn’t blame them for being careless, as the intensity of the battle left no room for distraction and there was really no need to pay too much attention to an insignificant little winged person—who could they possibly run to?

The duel between Disciple Tan and Disciple Jiaye, both True Disciples, unfolded hidden within the fragrant world of the Buddha, unknowable to outsiders; however, after a fierce contest overhead, the situation in the arena started to reveal its pattern.

The two Cultivators of the Natural Realm, both Monks, clashed against the two Sword Cultivators of the God Sensing Realm; after a forceful encounter, the side with the deeper Mana gradually took the initiative.

But it was a bit too early to declare a winner; Sword Cultivation is a path to quick success, yet one person alone could not accelerate the pace, as the other three still prioritized a cautious approach in combat.

Originally, the battle would have continued in this manner, but external factors changed everything.

Five Daoists suddenly approached from the southwest, taking advantage of the cover of the aerial combat and quickly reaching the battlefield. One of them descended straight toward the little winged person on the ground, while the other four formed a wall in the air to block any potential interception.

The incident happened abruptly, and catching the four intertwined fighters off guard, they ceased combat in an instant. The two Monks were still observing, but Luo Yewang led with his Flying Sword, slashing towards the descending Daoist.

The Flying Sword flashed in mid-air but before it could hit its target, it was caught by a shining silver cross, Sword Energy surged, and after struggling, it broke free but had lost the power to continue its descent.

Luo Yewang did not recognize this person, but Jialan did, "Teng Chongzhi, do you wish to make an enemy of the Buddhist Sect?"

Teng Chongzhi, the leader of the Northern Demon Sect, a True Disciple of the Lian Sect’s Heartless Dao, was indeed the leader of this group.

With a cold smile, he replied, "Treasure is awarded by the heavens to those who are capable. Not everything in this world is fated to be with your Buddhist Sect. It’s fine to wish for it in your heart, but you also need the skill to obtain it."

In the brief contact between the two sides, the member of the Heartless Dao who had landed was already in front of the little winged person; they had received messages from the group in Shanyin Town and knew about the integration of the Earth Spirit Pearl with the winged person, and that Mana should not touch it, so they had come prepared.

Upon landing, the Daoist flipped a Talisman in his hand and slapped it onto his crown, sealing his own Mana with the aid of an external object, a step even beyond the Fetal Breath. In such a state, he was almost entirely a commoner of the Jianghu in the Mortal World, with Mana completely stilled, all just to capture this winged person.

The little winged person seemed to be petrified by fright, standing still until the Daoist’s hand almost touched him...

What should have been a simple task became complicated as the Daoist’s hand touched the winged person’s shoulder, and he suddenly felt that something was amiss—there was a surge of spiritual energy from below!

The Core Disciple of the Heartless Dao, whose reaction to danger was beyond ordinary, realized this was a trap. He immediately shattered the sealing Talisman on his crown, and his Mana began to circulate rapidly, preparing him for instant retaliation.

His response was textbook-perfect, demonstrating the true ability of a powerful Cultivator. However, he forgot he was still holding onto the winged person’s shoulder; as soon as his Mana moved, a vast and surging pressure emerged from the winged person’s shoulder—it was the Earth Spirit Pearl retaliating on its own.

The level of the Earth Spirit Pearl was beyond what a Cultivator of the Tongtian three realms could contend with. In just an instant, the Daoist almost lost control of his body.

Under normal circumstances, he would have been rebounded away, regaining control of his body after a few moments of loss; the power of the Earth Spirit Pearl was not sharp or vicious, but a very gentle force of the earth.

But the Earth Spirit Pearl now was not the one from before—the pearl wasn’t poisonous, but the person was!

Using part of the power of the Earth Spirit Pearl, a force of Earth Virtue Power struck like a flying sword, deeply penetrating the Daoist’s body. Then, it shattered within him in an instant, thoroughly destroying everything, including his Dantian and his Purple Mansion.

Since one shows no compassion, they must face the merciless consequences. The Heavenly Dao cycles, what comes around goes around.

The little winged one felt she started moving forward again, at the same speed, but she knew all too well who was behind this; uncle Niao, when he started his move, was totally different from his witty conversations.

Without a word, he killed.

"Uncle Niao, you’ve killed someone!"

A voice from underneath spoke gently and nimbly, "Your uncle Niao has killed many, one more isn’t a difference. Don’t worry, as long as uncle Niao is here, you’re safe."

At such close distance, in such an unguarded state, he had countless ways to put an enemy to death, even simply drawing a sword, how could the opponent have time to react?

The opponent’s speed, in his eyes, was slow.

First eliminate a few, because he couldn’t be certain of the Buddhist Sect monks’ stance. If in the end Heartless Dao and Zhao Neng Temple became closely allied, he wouldn’t be able to deal with seven or eight cultivators at once, especially with the burden of the little winged one.

Using the Earth Escape technique to ambush people, he had mastered this craft. Since his cultivation succeeded, how many had he taken by surprise?

A trump card for escape had become a lethal skill in his hands.

With the cover of the Earth Spirit Pearl, for the time being, he didn’t need to worry about being discovered, as long as he didn’t release his Flying Sword.

...In the tense atmosphere among the crowd in the sky,

Teng Chongzhi frowned, "What’s going on with Brother Wang? Didn’t we tell him to be extremely careful and not to rashly use his mana?"

No one could answer him, because no one standing on the ground could sense the Qi intentionally revealed by uncle Niao; it was a trap.

Another cultivator from Heartless Dao was also puzzled, "The Earth Spirit Pearl doesn’t match the information relayed back earlier. Is this thing really so fierce? Capable of autonomously killing through an ordinary winged person? If so, this pearl is probably not an Earth Spirit Pearl, but an evil bead!"

The Buddhist Sect pair was also shocked, Jialuo with lingering fears, "Fortunately, we didn’t act first, otherwise we might not have been spared; this winged one looks very strange. I heard she’s a shamaness from the winged tribe, could she possibly have the ability to command the Earth Spirit Pearl?"

Jialan shook his head, "If she could command this treasure, could she have been nearly wiped out in Shanyin Town? Would she need to trek out from the great mountains to conspicuously display the treasure? It’s more likely that Daoist has used the wrong method, harboring inappropriate intentions.

Junior brother, if this bead ends up being collected by our sect, be very careful, and don’t act rashly.

There’s only one point, this Treasure Bead’s level might be far beyond our imagination."

Jialuo sighed, "Senior brother is still not out of the Buddha World of Fragrant Flowers, from my point of view, I’m afraid he might not be able to subdue that true inheritor of Chu Sect; the current situation is already complex, if they come out, will it turn into a struggle between several factions? Three or four?"

Jialan snorted, "Three only, those two who believe they follow the Heavenly Dao can barely count as one. I can understand the cultivators from the Chu Sect always being crazy, but I really don’t understand why a sword cultivator from Shan Sect would go soft."
