Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Effect of 2 Cosmic Light Stones

At the summit of Dao Yi Mountain, in front of the Sect Leader’s Hall.

Shangguan Qing stood on the roof of the hall, sizing up the young Daoist who had just walked out. She was completely taken aback.

"To think that the First-Grade Great Innate on Dao Yi Mountain is actually you, this young Dao Yi Sect Leader. It seems that after Chen Canxuan, Dao Yi Mountain is not lacking in talent after all..."

She gazed at Chen Sha and slowly let out a sigh.

"It is truly not easy for you to have such Cultivation at your age. Listen to my advice: hand Ancient Transformation Dragon over to me. Perhaps you can spare your Dao Yi Sect from the disaster of total annihilation."

In front of the hall.

Many Elders had already recognized Shangguan Qing’s background and identity, their expressions changing one after another. "So the Innate Expert behind the First-Grade Hall is actually this newly ascended female Sword God of the Jianghu, Shangguan Qing."

The reason they were so familiar with her involved another layer of history related to the Dao Yi Sect’s brother-sister sect, the Queen Mother Sect.

This female Sword God Shangguan Qing had a massive grudge against the Queen Mother Sect. She had entered and exited the Queen Mother Sect’s restricted grounds numerous times as if no one was there, which was why Dao Yi Mountain had also heard of her.

Hearing this woman’s tone, Chen Sha couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.

"Listening to you, it sounds as if destroying my Dao Yi Mountain is as easy as lifting your hand. Do you always speak to others in such an arrogant tone?"

Shangguan Qing didn’t seem to be in a rush to attack, intending to give Chen Sha more time to consider. She said, "Am I wrong?

"Since the First-Grade Great Innate on Dao Yi Mountain is you, the Sect Leader, it means there shouldn’t be any formidable experts in your back mountain. I’m guessing Ancient Transformation Dragon is locked up somewhere back there. If your mountain doesn’t have a second First-Grade Great Innate standing guard, it won’t be long before he is rescued. By then, a total of three Innate Level experts will join forces to destroy your Dao Yi Mountain. Under these circumstances, the demise of your Dao Yi Mountain is destined, just as I said... Would that really be so difficult?"

She didn’t make a move because she was using her words to shake Chen Sha’s Heart Spirit.

Song Yu’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "Based on her words, someone from the First-Grade Hall has already gone to the back mountain, and among them is an expert with ’Innate Level’ combat power?"

Just as Shangguan Qing was sizing up Chen Sha, trying to catch a change in expression or a look of being moved on his face, he spoke plainly.

"Who told you that my Dao Yi has only one First-Grade Great Innate?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Qing’s expression stiffened. It was her turn to be moved. As if she had misheard, she subconsciously retorted, "What?"

There was more than one First-Grade Great Innate on Dao Yi Mountain?

At the exact moment her Heart Spirit was shaken in reverse...

BOOM!

Chen Sha moved!

The reason for his attack was very simple. Shangguan Qing had held back because she wanted to wait for Chen Sha to reveal a flaw in his Heart Spirit, ensuring her strike would have a high chance of success. After all, Innate Level experts were existences that had already stepped into the highest realm of Martial Arts. Those capable of reaching this realm were all individuals whose Heart Spirit and aura were completely full and flawless. Therefore, if the opponent revealed even the slightest emotional fluctuation, one could gain an advantage during the exchange.

Shangguan Qing understood this principle, and so did Chen Sha.

So, after Shangguan Qing’s psychological attack failed and her own Heart Spirit was shaken instead, Chen Sha stepped forward like a Celestial God. He pressed a palm strike down toward Shangguan Qing, who was dozens of yards away!

For a Martial Artist at the Great Innate Level, a distance of dozens of yards could be crossed in an instant!

BOOM!

A palm appeared before Shangguan Qing’s eyes. The lines on it were clear, and it was as white as jade. It grew closer and closer, slamming straight down from above her head.

Facing Chen Sha’s sudden palm strike, her Heart Spirit twitched slightly. She instantly snapped back to her senses, a sigh escaping the corner of her mouth. "Why bother?"

She hadn’t believed Chen Sha’s claim that there was more than one Great Innate on the mountain at all.

Shangguan Qing straightened her body. With a plain Iron Sword, she delivered a flat slash toward Chen Sha’s palm!

It was merely a seemingly ordinary sword slash.

HUM!

In an instant, the color of the world changed.

The swords hanging at the waists of the various Dao Yi Elders in front of the Sect Leader’s Hall unexpectedly began to tremble and hum uncontrollably. As if sensing their true master, they vibrated incessantly toward the female Sword God.

Furthermore, as Shangguan Qing pushed this sword strike forward, the range of Sword Artifacts she affected grew even wider. It spread to the swords of the numerous Daoists on the summit of Dao Yi Mountain. Even the swords worn by the Daoists guarding the mountain gates miles away seemed on the verge of flying out, drawn in by the pull of Shangguan Qing’s strike.

In the distance.

"This is... Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

The swords of Demon Daoist Guo Chaoyang and the others, who had already ascended the peak of Dao Yi Mountain, also began to tremble and hum. They exclaimed in alarm, "Miss Shangguan has already made her move! Let’s hurry over!"

Shangguan Qing’s horizontal slash struck Chen Sha’s palm!

CLANG!

It was clearly a palm of flesh and blood, yet it acted like the hardest substance in the world. As palm and sword clashed, a terrifying Sword Qi storm instantly expanded across the roof of the palace!

WHOOSH!

At this moment, the energy mechanisms of heaven and earth were instantly detonated by their clash. The roaring of the air, resembling sonic booms, radiated out in all directions like a physical force!

In front of the hall.

Song Yu stared wide-eyed and slack-jawed, looking at the other Elders in disbelief as he asked, "Sect Leader Junior Brother stepped into the First-Grade Great Innate realm during the year I was down the mountain?"

Yuu Miaolian nodded. "Just over a month ago."

As she spoke, she used Spirit Condensation to look toward the two Great Innate Level powerhouses clashing on the roof.

CLATTER!

The tiles on the roof were blown up as if by a gale, flying wildly in all directions!

In just a single exchange, Shangguan Qing felt Chen Sha’s Palm Power on the edge of her sword. It was like a majestic, vast ocean, surging endlessly as it pressed down upon her.

In that very first moment, she actually felt her Qi Power failing to keep up. She staggered half a step back, her expression changing as she said, "At your age, how can you have such profound Power!"

Shangguan Qing found it inconceivable.

Chen Sha, however, maintained an indifferent expression. After throwing that palm strike, his sleeves fluttered.

Once he made his move, he didn’t waste a single word. He clawed his five fingers downward. Terrifying Great Yellow Court Power wrapped around his palm and fingers as he snatched at the weapon in Shangguan Qing’s hand!

BANG!

Although Shangguan Qing was shaken by Chen Sha’s profound Power, it was widely known that those who forged the sword in this world sought to use one sword to break ten thousand arts. One person, one sword, severing all external forces!

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

In a mere flash of thought, the ordinary Three-Foot Iron Sword was shaken three times in rapid succession in Shangguan Qing’s hand. A terrifying Sword Intent instantly rose up, blotting out the sky and covering the earth...

Another sword strike was thrust forward, triggering the energy mechanisms of heaven and earth.

Suddenly...

A horde of swords arrived!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The trembling swords of the numerous Dao Yi Mountain Elders, pulled by the Sword Qi covering her body, all unsheathed themselves at this moment and thrust toward Chen Sha’s back to kill him!

At the same time, the three Grandmasters and over a dozen other Grandmasters of the First-Grade Hall who had already arrived near the Sect Leader’s Hall and possessed swords, had their Sword Artifacts ripped from their hands.

From the front and the back, two rows of Flying Swords simultaneously shot to kill Chen Sha!

Not far from the Sect Leader’s Hall.

Here, Demon Daoist Guo Chaoyang, Iron Tree Divine Monk, Liuu Shengmen, and other First-Grade Hall experts followed closely and also ascended the mountain.

Watching the Flying Swords above their heads shooting toward the young Daoist on the roof, their hearts were all shaken. "This is the Cultivation of a First-Grade Great Innate! Controlling the Sword with Qi to kill with Flying Swords!"

In front of the Sect Leader’s Hall.

Song Yu and the group of Elders, who had originally been watching the battle between Chen Sha and the female Sword God, suddenly changed expressions. "Over there... people have come up too!"

As several First-Grade Hall Grandmasters swiftly dashed closer, Song Yu saw Liuu Shengmen and the rest of the First-Grade Hall charging up, causing his face to change color. "It’s the others from the First-Grade Hall! Three Grandmasters!"

On the small path up the mountain, a total of over a dozen people rapidly sped over. The ones leading the pack were three Grandmasters, followed by quite a few Grandmaster Level experts, all of whom were stained with blood...

It seemed they had killed their way up the mountain path.

Immediately after, they heard the sounds of slaughter coming from the foot of the mountain.

"Kill!"

"Annihilate Dao Yi Mountain!" the voices of hundreds of First-Grade Hall experts roared from below. "After today, Dao Yi Mountain belongs to us!"

Firelight illuminated the sky from the Incense Daoist Temple at the base of the mountain. It was precisely the main army of the First-Grade Hall launching a full-scale assault up the mountain.

The several Grandmasters were the fastest and had already killed their way to the summit.

The group of Elders in front of the Sect Leader’s Hall roared out one by one, "Don’t let them take another step!"

Since the Sect Leader was currently battling the female Sword God Shangguan Qing, they yelled, "Defend to the death!"

They would just have to deal with these First-Grade Hall Grandmasters themselves.

But right at this moment.

HUM!

Whether it was the people of Dao Yi Mountain or the Grandmasters of the First-Grade Hall, all of their gazes were drawn to the next scene unfolding on the roof.

They watched as the two rows of Flying Swords that were shooting at Chen Sha from the front and back suddenly stopped dead in midair just as they were about to pierce into his body, swaying back and forth unceasingly.

"What?" Shangguan Qing couldn’t help but look shaken. "Sword Qi?"

At the moment the Flying Swords lunged forward to kill, rings of vigorous Sword Qi silently materialized around Chen Sha, swirling around him in the center as if protecting their master.

This scene also completely stunned the several First-Grade Hall Grandmasters who had closely followed up the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Sha also saw the flames of war igniting at the base of the mountain, as well as the First-Grade Hall Grandmasters who had scaled the mountain.

Seeing that her two rows of Flying Swords were unexpectedly no longer heeding the call of her Sword Qi, Shangguan Qing was forced to continue her assault with the Iron Sword. Simultaneously noticing that the First-Grade Hall’s people had arrived, she spoke up.

"I didn’t expect you to be an expert swordsman as well. However, right now on this Dao Yi Mountain, besides you, there isn’t a single Grandmaster. Although I can’t do anything to you, those several Grandmasters can still slaughter all your Sect’s Elders first. Under these circumstances, what will you do?"

The Sword Qi erupting from Chen Sha’s body was truly something Shangguan Qing hadn’t anticipated. She never expected someone on Dao Yi Mountain to use a sword.

Yet, facing Shangguan Qing’s psychological warfare, Chen Sha looked over at the several First-Grade Hall Grandmasters who were already charging at his Sect’s Elders. Not a trace of nervousness could be seen on his face as he simply transmitted his voice to Song Yu.

"Hold the Cosmic Light Stone high above your head!"

Looking at the three Grandmasters and over a dozen Grandmaster Level experts of the First-Grade Hall rushing over to kill them, the fury and killing intent in Song Yu’s eyes had already boiled over. Suddenly hearing Chen Sha’s voice transmission, he was startled awake and turned his head, only to see Chen Sha nodding at him.

The Cosmic Light Stone?!

Song Yu immediately took out the stone from his robes—the very stone that had allowed him to survive a life-and-death tribulation at the foot of the mountain. A stroke of enlightenment hit him as he guessed something.

He thought, "It’s that Immortal’s method..."

Without thinking, he raised the Cosmic Light Stone high above his head almost purely on instinct.

Chen Sha sent Shangguan Qing’s sword flying with a palm strike, then turned around and pointed, shooting out a stream of Great Yellow Court True Qi.

SWISH!

This Innate Level True Qi poured into the Cosmic Light Stone on Song Yu’s person.

At the same time, his body retreated onto the White Jade Plaza.

Chen Sha then revealed a Cosmic Light Stone in his own hand.

He also injected a stream of True Qi into it!

After rapidly completing these two actions, he looked toward Shangguan Qing.

"You’ve got it completely backwards. Nothing will happen to the people of my Dao Yi Mountain. Instead, these First-Grade Hall Grandmasters you speak of will be completely slaughtered by me. Then, they can go to the Yellow Springs Road to wallow in regret over why they came to Dao Yi Mountain to throw their lives away!"
