Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 5: Chapter 114: Chopping Down the Supreme Ascendant Dao Disciples

Surging energy immediately filled Gu Hai’s body. Now that his cultivation had increased, he could endure even more power.

As energy filled Gu Hai’s body, Xuan En’s sword reached Gu Hai’s forehead.

Boom!

The Life Executioner Saber swung down ferociously, erupting with dazzling purple light and instantly knocking Xuan En’s sword back.

Xuan En staggered eight steps back before he stabilized himself.

“Oh no! He tore the ‘Song of Noble Spirit,’ pushing his strength to the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm!” One of the elder’s expressions changed.

“How could he bear to?! That is the ‘Song of Noble Spirit’! Ah! Now that the calligraphy Dao is crippled, every composition used is one more gone for good!”

“The ‘Song of Noble Spirit’ should be mine! To think that he ripped it!”

“Don’t let him rip the Classic of the Dao and Virtue! Attack quickly!”

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples swarmed Gu Hai.

“Humph!” Gu Hai snorted as his expression turned cold.

He withdrew the Life Killer Saber and the Life Ender Saber. Then, he swung the Life Executioner Saber at them all. His saber qi immediately filled the sky.

“Fourth Cycle!”

Gu Hai executed the Fourth Cycle again, sending a large manifested saber at Xuan En.

“Oh no!” Xuan En’s expression changed as he swung his sword.

“Senior Brother, I’ll help you!” the other four elders shouted.

Boom!

The manifested saber clashed with five swords. Space trembled as a gale kicked up. Gu Hai’s figure remained still.

“Argh!”

“Argh!”

The five elders got knocked into the air.

The immense force even sent all the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm disciples back.

Gu Hai did not stop despite the screams of fear. His figure flashed, and he arrived before an elder.

“What?” That elder’s expression changed, revealing shock and horror.

“Fourth Cycle!” Gu Hai swung his saber again.

Boom!

That elder could not resist at all.

That elder exploded instantly, turning into a rain of blood.

“Junior Brother!” the other elders screamed.

Xuan En’s expression changed. “Hurry! Attack together! Stop him!”

“Kill!”

Everyone made a move, attacking Gu Hai.

“The Supreme Ascendant Dao? It is only so-so!” Gu Hai revealed a ferocious smile.

Boom!

A Lower Heavenly Palace Realm disciple exploded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm disciples that charged at Gu Hai exploded. Gu Hai arrived before another elder in the blink of an eye.

That elder’s expression changed. “Senior Brother, help me!”

“It’s too late!” Gu Hai laughed nastily.

Boom!

Gu Hai executed the Fourth Cycle, and that elder immediately exploded.

“No!” the remaining Lower Heavenly Palace Realm disciples exclaimed.

At this moment, Gu Hai was like a demonic god, killing everything in his way. All who got close to him had no hope of surviving.

Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples died one after another amid loud sounds.

Kill Gu Hai? Snatch the Classic of the Dao and Virtue? Everyone had already forgotten about that. They only had one thought. Flee! Flee as quickly as possible!

“Run quickly! Run!” Xuan En exclaimed as his expression changed.

“Run? Isn’t it already too late? Cycle Saber Technique!” Gu Hai shouted.

Boom!

Countless saber qi suddenly appeared around Gu Hai with him in the center, surrounding all the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples. It seemed like he was standing in the center of a Go board and the countless saber qi were Go stones. The saber qi swept around quickly, blocking the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples and anyone who approached.

Now, Gu Hai arrived before Xuan En.

“Fourth Cycle!” Gu Hai let out a furious roar.

“Kill!” Xuan En used his full power in this strike.

Boom!

The clash between the saber and the sword kicked up a windstorm. However, Xuan En did not explode. Even so, a puissant force shook his body, knocking him back and covering him in blood.

“‘Song of Noble Spirit’? ‘Song of Noble Spirit’? Everyone, it’s too late. Quickly rip the compositions of my Supreme Ascendant Dao!” Xuan En cried out.

“Alright!”

Xuan En and the other two remaining elders immediately took out scrolls similar to the “Song of Noble Spirit.” They did not hesitate to rip these scrolls apart.

Rip! Rip! Rip!

Noble spirit immediately poured into the three elders’ bodies, causing their strength to soar.

Gu Hai’s face sank as he rushed over.

Boom!

Xuan En’s sword immediately blocked the Life Executioner Saber. However, he did not gain the upper hand. He only barely blocked.

“My poem is inferior to the ‘Song of Noble Spirit’?” Xuan En’s face sank.

“It is only so-so. Let’s continue, then!” Gu Hai’s expression turned cold.

Gu Hai swung the Life Executioner Saber again, executing the Fourth Cycle like before. The Fourth Cycle had many variations. He did not use the Fifth Cycle, as the Fourth Cycle was already sufficient to deal with these people.

Rumble…!

Gu Hai and the three elders fought an intense battle; neither side could kill the other. However, Gu Hai’s Life Executioner Saber was too powerful, giving him the upper hand. More blood covered the three elders.

The Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators did not dare to act rashly. When they did, the surrounding saber qi would lock on to them and chop them down.

Gu Hai alone put all the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples in extremely sorry states. Blood covered Xuan En, and Xuan En showed an anxious expression.

“Humph! It looks like you can’t hold on for much longer. There’s no need to waste more time, then. Die!” Gu Hai’s eyes turned cold.

The surrounding saber qi suddenly changed. The Life Executioner Saber exuded a cold, sinister air that made everyone’s hair stand on end.

“Fifth Cycle!” Gu Hai executed the Fifth Cycle.

“Grand Mohist, save me!” all the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples cried out.

The Grand Mohist remained standing at the side. When she saw how strong Gu Hai was, she despaired. Kill Gu Hai? That seems impossible!

Although the Grand Mohist felt unusually relieved when she saw the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples die, she still found this somewhat unbearable.

When Gu Hai swung his saber again, the murderous intent he displayed was like he wanted to chop down everyone. The Grand Mohist felt very anxious at this moment.

The Grand Mohist finally made a move when the desperate Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples pleaded sincerely.

“No!” Xuan En roared with despair on his face.

When Gu Hai executed the Fifth Cycle, every saber qi that appeared had the power of the Fourth Cycle’s manifested saber. Xuan En could barely deal with the Fourth Cycle’s manifested saber, what more twenty of such saber qi looking like they could rip him apart? The threat of death hung over him.

It’s over. It’s all over!

It was not just Xuan En. All the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples thought that; they all showed expressions of despair.

As the saber qi charged forward, it brought boundless despair.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out.

Just as all the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples closed their eyes and resigned themselves to death, the saber qi scattered and dissipated.

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples shivered. I am alive?

Everyone turned their head and looked.

They saw that Gu Hai’s manifested saber had stopped right in front of the Grand Mohist.

One moment earlier, the Grand Mohist had used her sword to clash with the manifested saber. However, the sword could not last even one strike, completely shattering. Nevertheless, the Life Executioner Saber stopped just as it would hit her.

The Grand Mohist looked at Gu Hai in bewilderment, finding this situation incredible.

Gu Hai did not kill me?

Gu Hai had stopped his saber. The saber qi and manifested saber completely vanished. At the last moment, Gu Hai had stopped.

Gu Hai took a deep breath as he stared at the Grand Mohist, suppressing the fury in his heart.

“You…you…why did you not kill me?” the Grand Mohist asked with uncertainty in her eyes.

“You have helped me. I will not kill you. I will spare their wretched lives this time, but there will not be a next time,” Gu Hai said.

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples trembled.

The Grand Mohist gave Gu Hai a complicated look. There was no way to express her bitterness, sorrow, and disappointment.

“Many…many thanks, Mister Gu!” The horrified Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples bowed.

“Many thanks! Many thanks!” Xuan En bowed to Gu Hai as well. Fear filled his body.

They forgot about their aloof status in their desire to live. As long as Gu Hai did not kill them, so what if they bowed?

“Just go!” The Grand Mohist turned her head, showing sorrow as she led the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples away.

“Alright. Yes! Many thanks, Grand Mohist!” The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples followed behind the Grand Mohist gratefully.

“Wait!” Gu Hai suddenly called out.

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples trembled as they looked at Gu Hai.

“We spared you from death today on account of the Grand Mohist. We will go to the Myriad Age Daoist Sect in the future. If you decide to be ungrateful and target the Grand Mohist, we will kill all of you, just like how we killed those people,” Gu Hai said coldly.

Gu Hai’s voice was filled with murderous intent, making those who heard it tremble.

“Yes! We will protect the Grand Mohist and never betray the Grand Mohist again!” everyone answered.

Gu Hai did not say anything, only stared at the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples. This disconcerted them, but they did not dare to say anything.

“I don’t need you to meddle in my affairs! Humph!” the Grand Mohist snorted coldly.

The Grand Mohist flung out her sleeves and flew into the distance. The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples looked at Gu Hai in fear before turning and following the Grand Mohist.

Gu Hai let out a long breath as he watched the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples leave.

“Master, you want to protect the Grand Mohist? However, why did you let those vile people off? Even if you did, they would not appreciate it,” Ensnaring Performance said with a smile.

“The Grand Mohist’s cultivation has regressed. Even if we killed them, there would still be other Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples to cause problems. We might as well spare their wretched lives and set up the image of a ruthless person with them. Take it as deterrence for the others.” Gu Hai shook his head.

Just as Gu Hai shook his head, Mu Chenfeng shouted, “Fire!”

Boom!

A Heaven Blasting Lightning shot out, passing by Gu Hai as it flew into the distance.

“Huh?” Gu Hai’s face sank as he turned to look.

He saw a golden arrow shoot over from a distance like a meteor. The target was Gu Hai.

The Heaven Blasting Lightning homed in on the golden arrow targeting Gu Hai.

Boom!

A loud report rang out as the arrow and the Heaven Blasting Lightning collided in the air and kicked up a surging windstorm. However, the golden arrow did not get destroyed in the windstorm. Although significantly weakened, it continued flying forward. The arrow arrived before Gu Hai in the blink of an eye.

Clang!

A saber qi appeared before Gu Hai and destroyed that weakened arrow.

Gu Hai looked coldly into the distance. He saw Li Shenji holding a golden bow on a far-off mountaintop, looking coldly at him.

“Li Shenji? Hah! You finally could not bear it any longer!” Gu Hai said with a cold smile.
