#99 - Chapter 99: That Touch of Green

"Grandpa, save me!" Mo Tian cried out in terror, feeling as though he was surrounded by a storm of swords! He had never felt death so close, as the old man with the wooden sword was already charging towards him, less than thirty meters away!

[Everyone thought Mo Tian was done for. A distance of thirty meters was nothing to a Sword Palace elder; he could unleash a strike in an instant, and that sword would traverse the distance and kill Mo Tian.]

[Some of the Core Formation stage demonic cultivators at the banquet paled in shock. They were astonished that Mo Tian, a Nine-纹 Gold Core cultivator, was about to be killed by the Sword Palace elder?]

"Die!" The Sword Palace elder coldly unleashed a strike, the countless sword shadows coalescing into a sword dragon that flew directly towards Mo Tian.

If this sword dragon struck Mo Tian, it would undoubtedly shatter his body and kill him!

Poof!

The sword dragon exploded, and a figure's body suddenly burst apart, blood blossoming like rain!

Was Mo Tian dead?

...

Mo Tian wasn't dead. The figure spitting blood wasn't Mo Tian, but the Sword Palace elder!

No one knew what had just happened, but the Sword Palace elder's body suddenly exploded in mid-air, flesh and blood flying everywhere, as if he had been severely injured by someone. He fell from the sky to the ground.

The sword dragon that had been aimed at Mo Tian also exploded in mid-air.

At this moment, the Sword Palace elder's gray hair was disheveled, as if he had aged several years in an instant. He fell from the sky, covered in blood, and staggered, using his wooden sword to support himself, his eyes filled with dimness.

He ultimately failed to kill Mo Tian.

He felt his life force rapidly declining, and he seemed unable to grip the sword in his hand. He looked at Mo Tian in the distance, so close, only a few meters away, and muttered, "I can't die yet, I still have one thing to do."

He tried to use his wooden sword to support himself and stand up, but he collapsed to the ground with a crash.

How tragic. The Sword Palace elder, who had just been so powerful, defeating two Core Formation tenth-level cultivators in a row, now didn't even have the strength to stand!

"Hahaha, Sword Palace, so you have this day! You fool, you fell for my scheme!" A gleeful laugh came from the distance, belonging to Mo Batian. "Since I dared to hold a banquet at the Blood Luo Palace, how could I not have a backup plan to kill you!"

"So what if you're strong? If you hadn't come today, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything to you, but since you came to the Blood Luo Palace, then obediently wait for your death. I set up the Thousand Insect Poison Sword Formation in this Blood Luo Palace specifically to destroy sword experts like you!"

As soon as Mo Batian finished speaking, a green canopy suddenly appeared above the Blood Luo Palace, with countless insects crawling on it: centipedes, Seven Fiend Mantises, all kinds of extremely poisonous insects.

"The Thousand Insect Poison Sword Formation. Elder Mo Batian is truly resourceful. It seems that the Sword Palace elder and these righteous cultivators are doomed today." In the distance, some demonic Core Formation cultivators discussed amongst themselves, having heard of this formation.

The Thousand Insect Poison Sword Formation originated in You Province of Wu Kingdom and was a formation made with thousands of poisonous insects, specially designed to counter sword experts. Once a sword expert entered the formation, over time, the sword essence within their body would be detonated and backfire by the poisonous Qi of the thousands of insects, in severe cases, causing their body to explode and die!

This explained why the Sword Palace elder's body suddenly exploded in mid-air just now. It turned out that he had been backfired by the Thousand Insect Poison Sword Formation!

"Sword Elder!"

"You want to save him? Ask us first!" In the distance, the five Daoists wanted to rush up to save the Sword Palace elder, but the Sect Master of the Myriad Demons Sect and the Blood Butcher joined forces to stop them.

"Sword Palace, aren't you very capable? Show me how capable you are now!" Mo Batian laughed loudly as he walked to the Sword Palace elder's side, a sinister grin on his face, and kicked the Sword Palace elder to the ground!

Seeing the number one expert of Qing Province's righteous path being easily kicked away like a stray dog, Mo Batian laughed even more triumphantly. He had never felt so comfortable in his heart. "Sword Palace, Sword Palace, should I say you're stupid or confident? Knowing that my Blood Luo Palace has a trap prepared for you, you still stepped right in. Did you really think I, Mo Batian, had no way to deal with you?"

"Grandson, come here, I'm going to teach you a lesson. "Mo Batian called Mo Tian to his side, pointing to the Sword Palace elder on the ground, who was severely injured and spitting blood, "The Sword Palace elder is a peerless expert, and Grandpa is no match for him, but look at the Sword Palace elder's miserable state now. This person is soft-hearted, coming to assassinate me for the sake of some commoners, knowing there was an enemy and still barging in. Look at his current fate, being kicked around by me like a stray dog. Remember, a person cannot have weaknesses, cannot be soft-hearted. Only ruthless people can survive well in this world. Do you understand?"

"Grandson understands," Mo Tian nodded.

[After educating Mo Tian, Mo Batian wanted to end the Sword Palace elder's life. He unleashed his Blood Demon Claw, preparing to crush the Sword Palace elder's body with one strike, but just then, the Sword Palace elder, who was originally lying on the ground severely injured, suddenly used his willpower to barely block the attack with his wooden sword.]

[And at this moment, the five Daoists broke out of the encirclement of the Sect Master of the Myriad Demons Sect and the Blood Butcher and came to the Sword Palace elder's side. The five of them joined forces to cast a Green Wood Body Protection Formation, and a blue light shield enveloped the five Daoists and the Sword Palace elder. This was a defensive formation.]

[But even with the protection of the formation, it was no use. The strongest combat power, the Sword Palace elder, was crippled. The Sword Palace elder's previous strike had exhausted his last bit of strength, and he was no longer able to fight. The demonic path still had four Core Formation tenth-level cultivators with complete combat power. No matter how you looked at it, these people could only wait for death next.]

"What if there's a formation protecting you? It'll only take three minutes to break it." Mo Batian said coldly, unleashing his Blood Demon Claw and attacking the blue shield with one strike. The Sect Master of the Myriad Demons Sect and the Blood Butcher also joined forces, unleashing demonic great divine abilities at the formation.

Instantly, the formation was on the verge of collapse!

"Fellow Daoist Ba Tian, I see that this formation won't last much longer. I have a suggestion." The Wanmo Sect Master attacked the formation while laughing loudly, "We are currently surrounding and killing the number one expert of the righteous path, Sword Palace. Once Sword Palace dies, the righteous path of Qingzhou will be finished. Such an exciting moment, how can only we know about it? I think it's better to let everyone in Qingzhou know, let them see how the so-called number one expert of the righteous path is killed by us!"

"What you said is right, indeed, we must let everyone see how we are slowly surrounding and killing Sword Palace, this number one expert of the righteous path." Mo Ba Tian nodded, and then cast a Water Mirror Technique.

[Water Mirror is a kind of image transmission technique. As soon as Mo Ba Tian cast it, the scene of the three people surrounding and killing the Sword Palace Elder was transmitted to the sky above the various large counties of Qingzhou.]

[Everyone looked up at the sky and saw that amazing scene!]

"That's Sword Palace Elder? Mo Ba Tian and the others are surrounding and killing Sword Palace!"

[Some righteous path cultivators were shocked to see the scene in the sky, especially seeing the miserable appearance of Sword Palace Elder, unable to even stand up. They all had a feeling that the sky was falling!]

[They couldn't imagine the consequences of the death of the number one expert of the righteous path in Qingzhou. Once Sword Palace dies, Qingzhou will be finished.]

"Who can save Senior Sword Palace!?"

"How to save him? Didn't you see that Mo Ba Tian and the Wanmo Sect Master are both there? Four Core Formation tenth layer experts, who can save him?"

[Some righteous path cultivators felt despair. Yes, this is indeed a dead end. Who can withstand the attacks of four Core Formation tenth layer experts and save Sword Palace? There is no such person in Qingzhou!]

"Haha! Awesome, the so-called number one expert of the righteous path in Qingzhou is nothing more than this, he will be killed by Elder Ba Tian soon!"

"That Qingyi cultivator at the ninth level of Core Formation should be trembling when he sees this scene, he should regret his actions a few days ago, right? Even Sword Palace at the tenth layer is dead, how long can he jump around?"

[Some demonic path cultivators were extremely happy to see this scene. They felt so relieved. Not long ago, a strange Qingyi cultivator slaughtered the demonic path in nine counties, making them feel oppressed. But now, the number one expert of the righteous path in Qingzhou is about to be killed. The outcome of this war, the demonic path has victory in sight!]

[Everyone in Qingzhou saw the scene of Sword Palace Elder being surrounded and killed. The righteous path cultivators were desperate, the demonic path was excited. Ni Chang of Blackwater County and Real Man Wu Bai, etc., also watched the scene in the sky with shock and fear.]

"Is Senior Sword Palace going to die? Who can save him?" Wu Bai roared unwillingly.

Ni Chang on the other side shook her head sadly. Under the siege of four Core Formation tenth layer experts, who can save Sword Palace?

Perhaps only Qiu Yue can do it. But the righteous path of Qingzhou simply doesn't have an expert of Qiu Yue's level.

Wait a minute, Ni Chang's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, she suddenly thought of a name in her heart, Lin Changqing.

Can Lin Changqing save Sword Palace?

A moment later, Immortal Ni Chang felt that her idea was too absurd.

Lin Changqing is very strong, but after all, his strength is only at the ninth level of Core Formation, how can he resist the joint efforts of Mo Ba Tian and the other four Core Formation tenth layer experts?

… …

"Haha, the formation is broken, you are waiting to die!"

[Finally, after another two minutes, under the joint attack of Mo Ba Tian and the Wanmo Sect Master and others, the cyan protective formation covering the Sword Palace Elder and the heads of the five Daoists was finally broken.]

[Some righteous path cultivators couldn't bear to watch any longer. They didn't want to see the tragic scene of the once invincible number one expert of the righteous path in Qingzhou, Sword Palace Elder, being killed.]

[Some demonic path cultivators licked their lips bloodthirstily. They watched the scene in the sky excitedly, looking forward to the scene of Elder Mo Ba Tian killing Sword Palace Elder with one palm in the next second.]

"Die!" Mo Ba Tian roared coldly. He and the Wanmo Sect Master jointly unleashed a great demonic path divine power, the Blood Demon Raven, summoning the legendary Blood Demon Raven from the demon realm. A huge blood-colored raven appeared in the sky, and with murderous intent, it stretched out its giant claws and slapped towards Sword Palace Elder and the others.

Once this claw landed, Sword Palace Elder would likely be annihilated!

"Am I going to die?" Sword Palace was already very weak at this moment. The backlash of true energy was constantly weakening his vitality, but he was very unwilling. He looked at Mo Tian behind Mo Ba Tian, he really wanted to stand up, wanted to raise his sword and kill Mo Tian, taking him away before he died, but he couldn't do it, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Bang!

Just as the blood-colored raven slapped its cold claw towards Sword Palace Elder, a shocking loud noise occurred. A blood-colored giant saber flew from a distance at extreme speed, and then cut off the blood-colored raven's claw with one strike!

"Who is it!?" Mo Ba Tian was shocked, who dared to attack at the critical moment when he was about to kill Sword Palace Elder?

[Not only Mo Ba Tian was shocked, but everyone in Qingzhou was also a little dazed at this moment. They couldn't imagine that someone would dare to attack at this time, that's four Core Formation tenth layer experts!]

[And more importantly, this person seems to be very strong, cutting off the blood-colored raven's claws with one strike!]

[They speculated about who the owner of the blood-colored giant saber was?]

"Who is it!?" Mo Ba Tian said coldly again. The Wanmo Sect Master and others also looked around with murderous intent, wanting to find out who the owner of the blood-colored giant saber was.

"It's me."

[This voice was cold, and everyone in Qingzhou saw a Qingyi cultivator walking down from the sky to the Blood Luo Palace.]

When they saw the Qingyi figure that suddenly appeared, Immortal Ni Chang and Wu Bai were so shocked that they couldn't speak. They recognized who this person was, it was Lin Changqing.

That touch of Qingyi.

Who else could it be besides him?

But Changqing is only at the ninth level of Core Formation, can he defeat Mo Ba Tian and the others?

Ni Chang and Wu Bai had worries in their hearts.
