Chapter 716: Chapter 281: Taking Action, Heaven-Collecting Elder_2

"Just wait, when the Mountain Protection Array finally breaks, that Kunpeng Daoist will surely emerge.

However, whether he will resist fiercely or just flee, is uncertain."

"Nevertheless, no matter what.

This time, the Mountain Protection Array within the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land will inevitably be shattered.

Although the array is strong, it cannot withstand the continuous attacks of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

...

"This array, indeed has some tricks.

However, it can block me once, but how many times can it continue to block me?"

Elder Tian Can unleashed an attack.

Seeing the Inverted Five Elements Array rise up, a massive light screen appeared. His flying sword fell upon it, only dimming it slightly. He raised his eyes, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Hurriedly controlling the flying sword, he attacked again.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

The flying sword flew like a stream of light, consistently bombarding the barrier.

Meanwhile, the spiritual light of the entire grand array dimmed noticeably with his attacks.

Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent...

Watching the array’s spiritual light rapidly dimming to less than fifty percent.

Zheng Ajiu and others showed expressions of anxiety on their faces.

They held tightly onto their communication tokens, but wherever they sent messages, there seemed to be no response, as if the messages were lost in the void.

It wasn’t just her.

Numerous cultivators within the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, all of whom possessed communication tokens, immediately sent messages to all the cultivators and forces they could contact.

Whether they belonged to their original cultivation clans, or the recently allied cultivation forces that flocked to collaborate with the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land due to its gradually revealed strength, almost none responded.

Even the few who did, did not want to involve themselves in this troublesome situation.

After all, what they faced from the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land this time was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Such an entity was rare even in Celestial Essence City, and most were clan leaders or elders of large cultivation clans.

Usually, they remained secluded, seldom appearing in public.

Therefore, late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators traveling outside were extremely rare.

Encountering such a high-level opponent, they presumed not many cultivation clans could withstand them.

Certainly not the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

Especially since some well-informed cultivators faintly realized the true identity of this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator before them.

They understood his character and methods all too well.

His strength, while not absolute, was among the best in his realm.

Most importantly, his speed.

It was unmatched.

Not to mention cultivators of the same realm, even Foundation Establishment ninth-layer cultivators found it hard to catch up.

Therefore, despite his violent personality and numerous enemies, he managed to survive well.

His vengeful and ruthlessly brutal nature deterred countless cultivation forces, who despite knowing it was him, were too afraid to act rashly due to the potential treasures he might possess.

This time.

Seeing him target the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, they were surprised but dared not intervene.

And this explains why Zheng Ajiu and the others found their messages like stones sinking into the sea.

"Humph! Break for me!"

Elder Tian Can’s face was filled with madness.

The long sword in his hand transformed into a stream of light, striking forth again.

At this moment.

The defensive power of the Inverted Five Elements Array had been exhausted to the limit.

Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels had already consumed more than half of their spiritual power to maintain the array, nearly unable to keep it running.

These cultivators could only look on in despair as Elder Tian Can continued to barrage them with his flying sword attacks.

Let alone, nearby there was also a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator continually launching flying sword attacks. With both attacking, the array, no matter how strong, could hardly withstand them.

This sword.

Could be the last straw to break the camel’s back.

Many cultivators nearly despaired.

Merely by instinct, they channeled their spiritual power to keep the array functioning.

"You dare!"

Yet, just at this moment.

A sudden low shout!

And then.

A gigantic flying sword suddenly rushed swiftly from afar, like a stream of light at peak speed.

Unexpectedly arriving first, it directly approached that purple flying sword as if lightly tapping it.

Boom!

That flying sword skewed away entirely, its power depleted by more than half.

Then, the giant sword turned, swiftly spinning to cleave the treasure artifact flying sword wielded by another cultivator.

Boom!

Again, a light tap.

Clang!

Then, the sword seemed as if it was cleaving that flying sword directly.

Crack!

The flying sword snapped directly.

Smashed into two pieces.

And that flying sword was a weapon spiritually connected with its owner through long sacrificial refining and heart-mind unity.

Now, as the flying sword was directly chopped in two, the backlash of forces caused his face to turn white, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he nearly collapsed to the ground, utterly dispirited.

It felt as if he had suffered a spiritual sense attack, losing seventy percent of his strength.

"Hmm?"

Elder Tian Can’s face changed, quickly turning around.

Suddenly spotting a cultivator rushing toward him a hundred yards away.

While within the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, a sense of despair filled the hearts of many cultivators sensing the impending failure of the grand array. They suddenly showed expressions of great joy.

"Peak Master!"

"The Peak Master is here!"

"It’s the Peak Master!"

...

All at once, they breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.

"Are you the Kunpeng Daoist?

You sure kept me waiting."

Elder Tian Can didn’t mind the nearby cultivator writhing in agony and merely looked at Zhou Changwang, inquiring.

"Is that so?

Now that you’ve waited, what of it?"

Zhou Changwang halted thirty yards away, his face calm, but a strong killing intent had already risen within him.

"What of it?

Naturally, to help me with alchemy.

I am in urgent need of a spirit pill. If you can refine it for me, I might spare everyone in the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

Let’s consider this as if it never happened.

If not—"

Stopping his speech, he seemed to wait for Zhou Changwang’s response.

But Zhou Changwang just stood there, saying nothing, looking at him indifferently, as though viewing a dead man.

"If not.

Not just you.

The entire Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land will be left with no survivors!"

He grinned, revealing yellowed teeth.

"Oh?"

Zhou Changwang nodded softly, then smiled, "Then I must see if you have the capability."

Saying so, he was already tired of speaking with the other party.

The giant sword that had been suspended in mid-air trembled lightly.

"Hmm?

You may not have heard of my title.

My path name is Tian Can.

Outsiders call me Elder Tian Can.

You’re welcome to try refusing my conditions.

If you’ve heard my name, you should be aware of the consequences of refusing my demands."

Finishing his words, Elder Tian Can wore a mocking expression as he looked at Zhou Changwang, seemingly wanting to see fear on his opponent’s face.

But he miscalculated.

Who would have thought that the Kunpeng Daoist opposite him lightly nodded, saying, "I know, Elder Tian Can.

Chased like a dog, hunted to the vicinity of Celestial Essence City.

Only after confirming no one was following did you dare show your face slightly.

Initially, I didn’t think of troubling you, even though your actions angered heaven and man, for you hadn’t bothered me, so I ignored it.

Yet, now, you dare target my Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

Then don’t blame me.

It’s possible today I’ll turn you from Elder Tian Can to Heaven-Collecting Elder.

Someone like you, utterly heartless, guilty of countless sins, if Heaven doesn’t take you, merely leaving you maimed.

Then I, Kunpeng, may just act on behalf of Heaven and take you in!"

Saying this, he showed no hesitation.

The giant sword, shaped by the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation that had long been condensed, immediately erupted with terrifying energy, rapidly surging toward the opponent!

This sword, like the Milky Way of the Nine Heavens, swept down.

Clashing against Elder Tian Can, he appeared as small as an ant under this sword.

Rumble!

Soon.

The gigantic sword descended.
