Chapter 124: Grand Young Master

“Go!”

The man unleashed his celestial power, sweeping Chen Ansheng and Yao Jianyuan up, charging toward the sky.

The surging waves of space engulfed them. Even with the protection of this mysterious Celestial Immortal, Chen Ansheng felt as if he was about to be torn apart. Yao Jianyuan fared worse; already having broken bones, he was swept away by the spatial tidal waves and nearly lost his life.

“Who dares to stop me? Kill!”

Ji Guiyi was completely mad, wielding a golden celestial sword, and struck at the black shadow shooting up into the sky.

The golden sword light instantly closed in on the black shadow.

“Damn it, every strike is viciously lethal. This guy is really strong!”

The black shadow, left with no way to evade, hurriedly summoned its natal celestial weapon, a black skeletal staff.

“Old man, are you not going to help me?”

The black shadow raised the staff, invoking laws that directly froze the space within a hundred feet before it.

The golden sword light was caught within, quivering violently.

Just as the golden sword light seemed about to break through the frozen space, Zhou Taiyuan drew a purple-gold great sword, leaping up into the air.

Meanwhile, Ji Guiyi, clad in battle armor, broke through space and had already killed his way to the black shadow.

“Hey, kid, take this sword from me!”

Zhou Taiyuan slashed fiercely, and eighteen sword lights condensed, forming a circle that rapidly converged toward Ji Guiyi.

“Old bastard, you’re getting in my way!”

Ji Guiyi trembled with celestial power, and when the eighteen sword lights shot toward him, he forced them to hover around his body.

The next moment, the sword lights were manipulated by Ji Guiyi’s sword intent laws and were all crushed.

Swish!

However, an unexpected event occurred!

Ji Guiyi’s shoulder was cut by an invisible law blade, leaving a wound deep enough to see bone.

If he hadn’t dodged quickly, his throat would have already been slit.

“Heh heh.” Zhou Taiyuan sneered, saying, “You think you can show off your sword in front of me? You’re still too green!”

Though Zhou Taiyuan had fallen from the Celestial Immortal Realm, the sword techniques he wielded were even stronger than before.

Moreover, combined with the body and might of a Celestial Immortal, injuring Ji Guiyi was quite normal.

At the moment when Zhou Taiyuan and Ji Guiyi were at a standoff, the celestial being in the black shadow also shattered the incoming golden sword light, retreating with full force to set up a defensive barrier.

“Ah!”

Seeing this, Ji Guiyi roared in anger.

Since they were both at the early stage of Celestial Immortal, if the opponent intended to escape, he had no way to catch up.

This meant that his revenge plan had completely fallen through.

“Old thing, let you play the hero, I will ensure you suffer a thousand cuts!”

Ji Guiyi, with no hope for revenge, prepared to unleash all his anger on Zhou Taiyuan.

“I’m not afraid of you! Bring it on!”

Zhou Taiyuan’s fighting spirit surged, showing no intention of retreating.

“Looking for death!”

Ji Guiyi brandished his sword, gathering laws upon it.

Tiny black electric patterns shimmered on the sword’s body, enveloping the entire Ninefold Flower Mountain in a terrifying sword intent.

“You foolish donkey, do you think I will trade blows with you? You brainless fool!”

Zhou Taiyuan chuckled lightly and then summoned ten celestial talismans, each capable of unleashing a deadly move from the Celestial Immortal Realm.

In an instant, the talismans turned into swords, forming a terrifying, unmatched sword light aimed at Ji Guiyi.

Ji Guiyi found all escape routes sealed off; it seemed he had no choice but to face death.

“Kill!”

Yet his face twisted in rage, showing no intention of defending.

His powerful body lunged forward, cracking the space around him.

“Slash!”

He roared, unleashing a black lightning sword aura that shattered the sword lights transformed from the talismans, pressing toward Zhou Taiyuan.

Boom boom boom…

Ji Guiyi forcibly endured eight sword lights, blood splattering from his body, while Zhou Taiyuan was overwhelmed by the terrifying black sword aura.

“Grandfather!”

In the void, the pale-faced Yao Jianyuan witnessed this scene, tears streaming down his face.

“Hahaha, those who obstruct me shall die, all must die!”

Ji Guiyi, drenched in blood from sustaining eight wounds, still stood tall in the air, ready to continue the killing spree.

In another part of the void, the Black-clad Man and Mo Wu watched this unfold.

Seeing Zhou Taiyuan engulfed by the sword aura, Mo Wu could no longer contain himself and said, “Master, why don’t you interfere and suppress that Ji Guiyi?”

The Black-clad Man gazed ahead and said appreciatively, “This Ji Guiyi is indeed someone who has survived on the battlefield. Despite being heavily injured, he used a pill to forcefully fight back against someone of the same realm. Splendid, truly splendid. How could I bear to kill such an outstanding talent?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Wu quickly understood, saying, “You mean to bring him under your command?”

The Black-clad Man nodded slightly, “Correct! If this person can be brought to my side, he will surely be of great use in the future.”

Mo Wu hesitated briefly before asking, “In that case, are you preparing to give up on those two chosen by the jade plate?”

The Black-clad Man replied, “Under normal circumstances, I could indeed abandon those two. But this situation is urgent, and there’s no time to select others, so I want both—keeping both parties!”

“This…” Mo Wu hesitated; given the current situation, the two sides were in a life-and-death struggle. How could the Master possibly keep both sides safe?

The Black-clad Man shot a glance at Mo Wu, sensing his doubts, and said, “You mentioned that Ji Guiyi’s daughter was killed by a tombstone from the ancestral land of Ninefold Flower Mountain?”

Mo Wu nodded, “Yes, Master. I witnessed it with my own eyes; her remains were obliterated, her soul scattered.”

“Hahaha.” The Black-clad Man laughed, patting Mo Wu on the shoulder, “Old Mo, you’re still far from the mark. Just watch how I handle this matter!”

With that, the Black-clad Man’s figure vanished in place.

Below, the hundreds of Xuanyuan Realm cultivators saw their head being engulfed by the sword aura and went completely mad.

“Kill!”

“Kill this bastard and avenge the head!”

“Brothers, even if it costs our lives, we cannot let this scoundrel get away!”

Hundreds of Xuanyuan Realm cultivators swelled their celestial power to the limit, a force not to be underestimated.

What’s more, Yao Qingtian and the others had recovered a bit and reformed their formation, charging alongside the Zhou family.

Meanwhile, Ji Guiyi had consumed that pill and was already nearly exhausted; even his final strike had been a desperate, life-risking explosion just to defeat Zhou Taiyuan.

Now in a heavily wounded state, it was difficult for him to withstand the attack of hundreds of Xuanyuan Realm cultivators.

“Stop!”

At that moment, a calm voice rang out, causing the space within several kilometers to suddenly freeze.

Hundreds of Xuanyuan Realm cultivators found themselves immobilized, unable to move even an inch.

“This!”

“I’m sensing two Celestial Immortal presences; could this other one be Ji Guiyi’s aid?”

“How frustrating; we can’t get our revenge now!”

The immobilized Zhou family cultivators instantly fell into despair.

Soon, the Black-clad Man and Mo Wu appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Mo Wu spoke first, saying, “Everyone, this is my Grand Young Master of Xuanyang Immortal Manor. Please cease all hostilities and allow my master to handle this matter.”
