Qian Duoduo trembled and hastily placed the jade slip on his forehead, sending his divine sense into it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his body shivered with excitement.
‘Broken Moon Scroll! This really is the complete Broken Moon Scroll!’
‘Haha! I can’t believe I got such a divine thing! With it, I, Qian Duoduo, will become a Martial Supreme one day, and then a Martial Emperor, not to mention a Martial Grandmaster! Wait for me, all of you, I will go back and settle the scores with you soon!’
He was very excited. After putting away the jade slip, he glanced at the insignificant box and casually opened it. What he saw narrowed his eyes. “This is…a Nine Orifices pill?”
It was the last Nine Orifices pill.
There was a twinkle of surprise in Yunxiao’s eyes as he chuckled and said, “It seems you are quite knowledgeable as well. Since you know this medicinal pill, then you should also know that together with the cultivation technique in the scroll, the problem in your body can be solved. So, do you think you can break through in the short term?”
Qian Duoduo was shocked. ‘Sure enough, it was after hearing about the Pure Sky pill that he found out what is wrong with me, and only then did he give me this Broken Moon Scroll. Who exactly is this lad? Not only is his strength so mysterious, but he is also so knowledgeable.’
“I’ll try my best!”
He suppressed his inner mood swings and put away the medicinal pill, then walked steadily back to his original position. Standing there, he folded his arms over his chest and closed his eyes slightly, so that no one could find out his true feelings.
Suddenly, a Bluewolf chariot flew from the distant sky and hovered over the square, and from it came a furious roar, “So, you are the culprits! How dare you steal all the Primordial Qi within a thousand miles with some mystic art? You’ve taken away all the Primordial Qi from Mount Qiyun, where Dhyana Sect has existed for thousands of years! Damn you!”
Yunxiao was taken aback. He did not expect that someone would come so fast. He laughed and said, “What Dhyana Sect? I’ve never heard of it. If you run out of Primordial Qi, you can bring all your people and join Yanwu. I guarantee you will get ten times more cultivation resources than before!”
Hearing that, a middle-aged man appeared on the chariot and shouted with an angry look, “Return the Primordial Qi immediately, or I will wipe out the whole city of Yanwu!”
As he said that, the man’s pupils constricted. He had thought Yanwu was just a small mortal city, but he saw over four thousand warriors down below with just a glance. Although their average strength was not strong, he was still startled. Their numbers were almost equivalent to that of a small sect, he reckoned. ‘Since when did Yanwu own such a force?’
“How unbridled!” Yunxiao’s Primordial Qi surged as he cried out coldly, “You are bold to say you want to wipe out Yanwu. Considering that it is your first offense, I’ll give you three breaths to get out of here, or you’ll stay here forever!”
The man’s face flickered, and he said angrily, “What an ignorant nine-stars Martial Master! Since you want to die, I don’t mind making an example of you!” When he had finished, he performed an incantation gesture. Suddenly, a blue light beam emerged on the chariot, and then fell from the sky in the shape of a wolf.
A Bluewolf chariot was a fourth-tier combat weapon, and it was capable of attacking. It just needed to be controlled with incantation gestures. It was also what made a hoverchariot so precious, because it was equivalent to a moving cannon.
Chen Dasheng and Hong Bing were about to attack, but Yunxiao stopped them with a wave of a hand as he slowly drew his sword of Tigertooth. The blade flashed and instantly transformed into a blood-red tiger, which gave a roar and leaped up into the air.
“Sword of Tigertooth, the roar that shakes the forest!”
Under the impact of the tiger roar, the blue wolf shadow dispersed in an instant, while the tiger continued to rush up toward the chariot.
“What!” The middle-aged man was taken aback. “How can a mere Martial Master destroy the attack of a chariot?!” He had no time to think further though. He threw out a palm, and a palm force immediately took shape in the air, pressing down hard at the tiger.
“Hmph! How dare a mere one-star Martial Lord to act wantonly in my Yanwu!” Yunxiao’s eyes grew cold. The Cauldron of Five Elements slowly materialized in his right hand before being casually thrown out by him as he cried out in a soft voice, “The purple air comes from the east, the cauldron that suppresses the heaven and earth!”
The purple cauldron flew up into the air and smashed at the man’s huge palm force, breaking through it as it rapidly expanded in the sky. Meanwhile, light beams of five different colors shot out of it, enveloping the man.
The man’s face fell and he sucked in a cold breath as he cried out in horror, “The power of five elements! I can’t believe this is a fifth-tier mystic weapon with the Dao Fruit of Five Elements! You are just a Martial Master, so how can you control such a fifth-tier mystic weapon!”
He had no time to think about it. Hurriedly, he pulled out a saber and unsealed it before throwing a fierce slash. A golden light beam cut through the sky immediately and hacked the power of five elements apart. For a moment, the whole sky was flashing goldenly.
After all, it was just the light of the five elements contained in the purple cauldron, and was not unleashed by a Martial King, so its power was very limited. The man breathed a sigh of relief after he had destroyed the light with a slash. If this kind of five-elements power was unleashed by a Martial King, he would have no way to resist it.
Yunxiao sneered. His hands flashed in incantation gestures, and the cauldron expanded a few times larger. Shrouded in a layer of purple light and another layer of five-color light, it smashed toward the chariot like a small hill.
As it flew, the cauldron continued to grow larger, until it blocked the whole sky like a huge, fast-moving purple cloud.
“Crazy! I can’t believe he is using such a precious treasure to hit my chariot!” The middle-aged man gave a furious roar to express his dissatisfaction toward Yunxiao’s extravagant behavior. But, he did not dare to face it head-on, because if the chariot were damaged, he would not be able to answer when he returned, and he did not have the confidence to withstand the impact of such a huge cauldron. Without hesitation, he sent a few incantation seals into the chariot, then turned it around and was about to fly into the distance.
“Hmph! Trying to run away? I gave you time to leave, but you didn’t want to leave. Now, I want you to stay!”
Suddenly, there were flashes of gold on Yunxiao’s body as he kept performing complex incantation gestures. With each gesture, there seemed to be some power being pulled and trigged in the air. Finally, a golden incantation seal was formed in his hands, and he threw it out with all his might.
“The Greatsun Golden Sword, destroy this man!”
As soon as he threw out the seal, bits of golden light began to gather from all directions into thousands of golden beams, which quickly joined together and turned into a huge golden sword, slashing down toward the chariot.
Bam!
The huge golden sword cut through the sky and smashed the Bluewolf chariot, bursting into shafts of blinding golden light and, without even slowing down, slashing through the chariot before fading away. A deafening rumble rang out of the chariot as it exploded in the sky.
The sword was so strong that it destroyed a fourth-tier chariot with just one slash!
The moment the chariot exploded, the Martial Lord also suffered a great energy impact. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and, together with the chariot, fell toward the ground.
“Let’s see if you can still stay alive after this! The purple air comes from the east, the cauldron that suppresses heaven and earth! Suppress this man!”
Yunxiao performed a few incantation gestures again, shrinking the huge purple cauldron in the air and smashing it down toward the Martial Lord.
Bam!
The cauldron was moving much faster than the man could fall. The crowd only saw a flash of purple, and then they immediately heard a rumble as a cloud of dust rose up into the air in front of the square.
Immediately after that came the sound of the chariot landing; a chariot with a hole in the center crashed next to the purple cauldron like scrap metal.
A dead silence fell over the whole square.
From the middle-aged man shouting until the chariot crashing, only a few moments had passed. Many people had not even understood what was happening, and they felt as if they were in a dream.
A peak nine-stars Martial Master had just effortlessly defeated a Martial Lord who came in a fourth-tier Bluewolf chariot. That had totally overturned everyone’s common sense. There were over four thousand people on the square, and at least half of them felt that their brains had stopped functioning.
The two thousand members of Dubhe were dumbstruck and froze to the spot as well. Was this the same loser they went to Jialan Academy with a few months ago? Since he came under the limelight by defeating Lan Xuan until now, it had only been a few months, and yet he was already strong enough to defeat a Martial Lord! His transformation was just too tremendous!
Meanwhile, Bai Chengfeng and Lin Yu looked at each other in horror, their eyes filled with deep shock and terror. They were still unconvinced by Yunxiao’s fighting strength and had been cultivating very hard, hoping that they could defeat him one day. However, what just happened had completely dispelled their obsession.
A sense of powerlessness crept over them. At the thought that they actually wanted to compete with someone of such a terrifying fighting strength, they smiled bitterly in their hearts. A few months ago, they could still see his back, but now they could not even see the dust kicked up by his feet.
Even Qian Duoduo and the four newly recruited Martial Lords stood there gaping like fools. They kept telling themselves that what they saw was not true, that it must be an illusion. But, such a self-deception rang hollow, so they just stood here with pale faces and an incredulous look.
Chen Dasheng and Hong Bing were struck dumb as well. Although they were getting used to Yunxiao’s magic, their minds still became completely blank this time.
No one believed that what they had just seen was real. But, the reality was often truthfully revealed in front of everyone’s eyes.
Yunxiao made a grabbing gesture, and the purple cauldron immediately flew back to him as it transformed to its miniature form, and was put away by him. The man was still lying on the ground, his body twitching, and he looked more dead than alive.
At this moment, everyone was forced to accept the fact that what they had just seen was real! It was real that a Martial Master had just effortlessly killed a Martial Lord!
The one thousand newly recruited warriors all felt a chill at the bottom of their hearts, a coldness that ran deep into their bones and could not be resisted even though they all stood so close together. It was a fear that came from the depths of their hearts.
Qian Duoduo trembled and hastily placed the jade slip on his forehead, sending his divine sense into it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his body shivered with excitement.
‘Broken Moon Scroll! This really is the complete Broken Moon Scroll!’
‘Haha! I can’t believe I got such a divine thing! With it, I, Qian Duoduo, will become a Martial Supreme one day, and then a Martial Emperor, not to mention a Martial Grandmaster! Wait for me, all of you, I will go back and settle the scores with you soon!’
