Divine Brilliance

Breaking that golden sword light, only when the red and blue spiraling sword had a portion of its energy seeping out and smashing onto the ground was its strength evident.

Within a thousand feet, dust and rocks flew about. A hundred feet wide deep mark spread crazily forwards. It was so deep that one couldn’t see how low it ran as the earth had split.

Moreover, that sword attack was still changing, splitting into tens of spirals which seemed to be connected, locking down the entire space.

Jin Buhui was slightly shocked, not daring to take it head-on anymore. He didn’t hesitate, a special golden talisman flew out from his sleeves.

1/60th of a blink of an eye it burnt into ashes. Following which Jin Buhui’s body disappeared, causing the sword light to all slash the air. Another ten flying ants fell to the ground. When Jin Buhui appeared he was behind Zong Shou.

“Instant teleportation talisman?”

Zong Shou’s brows rose up, along with a thought the sword attack suddenly stopped. At this moment, he was different from half a year ago. His control of the great spiral sword couldn’t be compared to that time.

The sword light retracted as he slashed behind him. It didn’t appear to be tiring at all. The aura was far from before but the sword intent was much sharper and swifter. Jin Buhui’s body flashed as he dodged, raising his hand, “Stop! Stop! Stop! You can stop now. Your highness trains in king path mysterious techniques, what you slash out is the sword of the king. It has a huge amount of sword energy and you have an overwhelming intent. You aren’t a dark and vicious person, I must have misunderstood you…”

Zong Shou was startled following which he was filled with rage, thinking to himself: Are we going to stop just because you didn’t want to? How are things so simple?

He felt a lack of stamina and energy within his body. He thought about the several demon fire crystal ants outside, the strong enemy hadn’t left yet. At this moment it wasn’t a time to be petty, he scoffed coldly and retracted his attack.

However, he felt weird in his heart. He did in fact train in the king path mysterious arts but what was this sword of the king?

Just as he was filled with doubt, a cold glow flashed across his eyes. A knife appeared in his hand, a cloud flame flying knife appeared as it headed right for where Jin Buhui stood.

Jin Buhui sensed it right away, his pupils constricting, losing his soul and bravery. He hollered, “Despicable!”

Whilst his body swiftly moved to the side, he slashed with a sword. 50 talismans shot out from his sleeves and turned into 5 giant swords.

The golden sword light flashed, gathering the 5 giant swords into one. The sword energy instantly rising, no weaker than that giant spiral sword that Zong Shou used before as it swiftly slashed down! The speed of it was even 30% faster.

Zong Shou was slightly startled, an unprecedented sense of danger rose up in his heart.

In that instance, he activated the complete cloud shocking god destroying sword intent in his dantian. The nine tail sky fox symbol in his soul ocean also suddenly shone.

In the next instant, he was slashed into half by that golden sword light!

However, just as everyone thought that Zong Shou was dead, they saw the thin person appear once again on the stone pillar. His face was ashen white and was on the verge of falling, the left arm had a really deep cut that was straight to the bone.

That Jin Buhui was startled in mid-air, now did he realize that the flying knife wasn’t targeting him but a black colored 4 winged flying ant 20 feet behind him which had its head pierced and was falling to the ground.

Who knows when that flying ant got close. When he was fighting with Zong Shou it snuck by him, formless and shapeless, totally silent, not giving off any aura at all.

Its ugly and sharp mouth was ten feet away from him.

Smiling awkwardly, Jin Buhui once again drove the sword down and stepped onto the stone platform, “I misunderstood. Today I, Jin Buhui, owe you a life and a favor!”

The life he owed was naturally Zong Shou saving his life, the favor was for Zong Shou providing this haven for him.

Zong Yuan’s eyes turned cold, filled with rage as he stared at this Jin Buhui.

If it wasn’t for Zong Shou stopping him when that guy returned he would have stabbed out and gone all out against him.

Since he had first met Zong Shou at Cloud Saint City, this was the first time he saw Zong Shou this badly hurt.

Jin Buhui also knew he was in the wrong and bowed, apologizing sincerely once more which helped to appease some of Zong Yuan’s anger.

On the side of Zong Shou, he didn’t dare to get distracted. During the battle just now it caused the spiritual formation foundations of this place to loosen by a little.

He focused on calculating and repairing whilst he cursed out in his heart. That fellow left himself a way out!

If it wasn’t for him being prepared, he would have been slain by that sword.

He knew that if people like him didn’t have trump cards they wouldn’t have been able to live until now.

During the battle just now if both of them went all out both sides would suffer heavy injuries and both of them would probably die.

After Jin Buhui apologized, he still felt a little awkward and went to help out.

His spirit master cultivation had reached the Return to Sun realm and had formed 8 true spiritual talismans. In terms of formations, his talent was quite decent. With both of their efforts, in just a hundred breaths, this formation was repaired once more. Along with the addition of several spiritual artifacts and ten talismans, they didn’t conflict against one another and it was instead strengthened.

Zong Shou was lazy to bother, the 1st moment the formation stabilized he took out an injury pill from the pills that Wei Xu left him and consumed it. Then he sat cross-legged and slowly focused.

This adjustment of energy lasted a full 2 hours. His injury was half recovered and the restless vital energy was being suppressed.

Although the bleeding on the wound of his left hand had stopped, the sword intent removed, it would still take several days for it to recover.

When Zong Shou opened his eyes once more, he saw the fire pile that was smashed due to their battle rose up once more.

The surroundings of the giant stone were also covered with corpses of numerous demon fire crystal ants which without asking it was left by Zong Yuan and Jin Buhui.

Looking at the number there was close to 3 thousand, several times more than that giant stone which was a thousand feet away.

At this moment, those demon fire crystal ants seem to know their strength and stopped targetting them. Instead, they headed right for the pillar that the Linhai College people were on, causing them to have a hard time, getting frantic and panicky. Who knows how many talismans they used.

However, occasionally when they were in danger, Zong Yuan and Jin Buhui wouldn’t leave them in the lurch and would help out to reduce their pressure.

When Zong Shou woke up, it was when a wave of ants retreated. Numerous demon fire crystal ants backed down to regroup.

When Jin Buhui saw he woke up, his eyes lit up and exhaled, “Thankfully you are okay, if not I would have regretted it for the rest of my life…”

Zong Shou’s expression was solemn as he asked directly, “What was that Yin situation you talked about?”

“Your highness doesn’t know?”

Ji Buhui probingly asked, seeing that Zong Shou was lost he explained, “It was the place that you buried Gong Xinran in!”

When Zong Shou heard that, the bad feeling in his heart grew thicker. Actually, at the start, he felt that but thought it wasn’t that serious which was why he didn’t bother much about it.

Then he heard Jin Buhui clicked his tongue and said, “If you didn’t intend it, then your luck isn’t that good. The place you chose seemed to be a good Yin place but beneath it, there are 9 Yin veins. Your senior Sister must have been through something tragic when she was alive and the vengeful energy was really strong. Her soul seemed pure and peaceful like her wishes had been completed. However, she died too early, hatred left in her body, it could connect with heaven and earth and use the Yin veins…”

When Gong Yue heard that he said, “she had gone through something tragic when she was alive” he clenched his fists like he thought about something. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

Zong Shou wasn’t surprised. Gong Xinran often sent letters to him so naturally she talked about that bastard.

However, at this moment he had no mood to console him. The more he heard, the more cold sweat flowed down. In nine Yin land, her body was in such a state…

“If that was just it, it would still be okay. Did you notice the atmosphere there was wrong? You placed some demon chasing formation at a half skilled level. That evil chasing became evil gathering, the light became moon…”

Zong Shou’s heart felt terrified. He hesitated, “Nine Yin spiritual corpse? No, would it become the nine Yin witch?”

“Nine Yin Witch!”

Jin Buhui couldn’t help but scold, “Even spirit masters who were good at Yin arts won’t be as perfect as you. If you said it was the Nine Yin emperor reincarnation, I would have believed you! Anyways, when she wakes up within that thousand miles, you can forget about having any living soul. That place will go through a calamity!”

On the contrary, Zong Shou calmed down, thinking that no wonder Jin Buhui would misunderstand.

The place she was buried head was Pill Spirit Mountain. As such, it was right that he suspected Zong Shou had nefarious intentions and was plotting something.

“That Cloud Saint City lord has joined me silently as one of my subordinate cities…”

Jin Buhui was stunned, looking at Zong Shou in disbelief. He didn’t expect this Gantian Monster king had set up a hidden piece against the Lingyun Sect.

Speaking of which, the reincarnation of Gong Xinran would hurt instead of help him.

Zong Shou was helpless, when they were speaking he had done an illusion so he wasn’t afraid of others hearing. His brows tightly furrowed, “Brother Jin, can this situation be handled?”

“What the f***! You think I haven’t been thinking of ways these few months?”

Confirming that Zong Shou didn’t do that on purpose, he heaved a sigh of relief whilst feeling extremely depressed, “During these few months I invited several priests that are good at chasing away evil and in the end, they returned with heavy injuries. Today, wandering realm spirit masters got unlucky. Then no one dared to help anymore. Lingyun Sect was also alerted and they had no choice but discuss moving their base in Donglin Cloud Continent.”
