752 A Vastness of Yellow Sand, a Game Round (1/2)
For these two days, there were always two people who showed up one after another on the sea islands, down at the foothill of Tile Mountain, in the small towns, in the cities and amid the green curtains of tall crops. All in all, they showed up in many places around the world.
The former one was dressed in a cotton jacket and while the latter wore an indigo Taoist robe.
This was a fight far above the Five States, it was a chase between Limitless State cultivators.
Though both being of the Limitless State, they still held some difference within this realm.
Due to the fact that the Academy had already made some arrangements in advance, Eldest Brother had consequently strived for some time successfully while being in front of Verdant Canyon today. But he knew that the time which he had won would certainly be extremely transient. That was the exact reason why he had to get off in a hurry.
Right after the moment when Eldest Brother vanished, the Taoist in indigo then came to the front of the Verdant Canyon.
Numerous gazes from all over the wilderness fell on that Taoist in indigo.
This was the Abbey Dean of Zhishou Abbey, who had come to the public for the first time.
Kneeling towards the Taoist in indigo located far away, Ye Hongyu lowered her head with reverence.
Sounds of the friction between armors rustled and rattled like rippling wheat. Many people knelt down.
The disciples of the Academy in front of the Verdant Canyon neither knelt down nor professed worship.
Looking at this supreme powerhouse of Haotian Taoism silently, they wore pretty firm expressions on their faces, with their complexion being slightly white.
The Second Brother kept his eyes on the Taoist in indigo and walked out of the shelter, with the iron sword raised up in his hands.
Taoist in indigo cast him a glance, without revealing any expression at all on his face.
Then he turned around and looked towards the open field in the south. While looking at the divine carriage which was burning bright, he perceived the delicate and subtle change taking place amid the aura of heaven and earth with a furrowed brow. All of a sudden, his Taoist Heart seemed to become somewhat restless.
It was not due to the fact that the divine carriage had been destroyed nor the fact that the Great Divine Priest of Revelation had been severely wounded.
For a Zhishou Abbey that hid from the world and maintained an observer's stance, it was only the belief of Haotian that genuinely mattered. It would never be counted as some big deal even if the West-Hill Divine Palace had been devastated.
What made the Taoist in indigo feel restless was the end of Eldest Brother's next journey.
With the slight disturbance to his Taoist Heart, the Taoist in indigo knew that he must leave at once. It meant that the time gap which the Academy side had calculated was so clear that there was no time left for him to make his moves.
This was a goal which the Academy must achieve.
Upon making his appearance in front of the Verdant Canyon, Eldest Brother immediately turned the tide destroying the most important combat capability of the West-Hill Divine Palace.
If the Taoist in indigo would have had time to make his moves, how many other disciples of the Academy in front of Verdant Canyon could still survive?
The time gap was the final result which Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother had got after spending multiple nights' time on calculations, which both of them had deemed as free of issues.
However, they still underestimated the state and strength of the Taoist in indigo.
As the most supreme powerhouse of Haotian Taoism and one of the sovereigns who were only inferior to Haotian, he held a state that was too profound to be measured.
In the previous plan, the Academy was sure that while chasing after Eldest Brother, the Taoist in indigo must take his leave without any time left to make his move. To the Academy's surprise, the opponent actually could make his move and depart at the same time.
Turning around and walking towards the south wilderness, he randomly waved back with his right hand.
With his footstep treading on the spongy soil, the chilly autumn wind suddenly became cold. The autumn wind howling in front of him was frozen into thin snow all of a sudden, which softly fell down, amid which a door was looming up.
That was exactly the passageway hiding within the turbulent flows of the Heaven and Earth's aura.
That was exactly the passageway which could only be seen by those of Limitless State.
As soon as the right foot of the Taoist in indigo stepped into the door, all had become empty in an instant.
It seemed that he had stepped into the void from the numerous perspectives of the people in front of the Verdant Canyon.
Looking at this scene which looked pretty much like a divine miracle, tens of thousands of people in the West-Hill Divine Palace Coalition Army were shocked speechless.
And at that exact moment, one more sword appeared in his right hand, which he swung back randomly.
That was a sword formed by air freezing.
The sword had already slipped out of his hand and to the shelter covered with arrows like the thatched cottage right in front of the Verdant Canyon.
Deathly silence befell on the Verdant Canyon after the Taoist in indigo had shown up.
Second Brother was the quietest one.
Lowering his head in silence, he was staring at the stone lying on one and a half feet away from him.
He did not look at the Taoist in indigo, because he wanted to keep his war intent and confidence to their fullest.
Nor did he keep his eyes on the iron sword in his hand, because swords were not for watching.
Second Brother moved after the Taoist in indigo had randomly thrown that flying sword.
Raising his head all of a sudden, he kept his eyes on that flying sword which was formed by frozen air, with his iron sword trembling slightly.
Would the iron sword which had exterminated hundreds of armies and thousands of horses be able to block the simple-looking Virtual Sword?
No one knew the answer.
Because the Virtual Sword which the Taoist in indigo had drawn out became a genuine void all of a sudden, right in front of Jun Mo's body. It pierced right through the location where he had been without any sound and was back to its essence right behind him, only to continue and stab under the awning!
How incredibly inconceivable it was that this measure could actually make the Taoist Sword appear to have stepped into the Limitless State!
When faced with such a flying sword which was too deeply profound to be understood, Second Brother did not wear a shocked expression on his face, let alone an expression of fear. Instead, with a slight frown, he seemed to look down upon his opponent.
This Virtual Sword was indeed ingenious and this choice was indeed accurate. Since it was a hasty and careless sword drawn before the Taoist in indigo's departure, he had to make sure that it should be a sword which could produce the greatest damage.
The Taoist in indigo let Second Brother go because of this somewhat hasty and careless sword.
In a sense, this was his respect for Second Brother.
But from Second Brother's perspective, this was ridiculous. Based on his identity and state as being the Taoist in indigo, how extremely foolish and ridiculous of him was to go as far as to ponder on how to deal with them, who were merely disciples of the Academy.
That was the reason why he had looked down on the man.
”Even if your state is far above mine, even if you are the Abbey Dean of Zhishou Abbey, even if you are the highest mountain in the cultivation world since the Headmaster has ascended to heaven, I just despise you.”
Regardless of how powerful, as long as they are stained with the aura of vulgarity, they will be treated like dirt by Second Brother.
Of course, it doesn't mean much else.
Knowing how horrifying the power of the Virtual Sword was, Second Brother raised his dashing eyebrows slightly.
It was also due to the fact that the opponent had not been able to see through the tactical array in the iron shelter, that he consequently looked down on the Taoist in indigo.
Though with this Virtual Sword having bypassed him, once the Sword was under the shelter, it would still be him who should bear the sword attack in the end.
Because there was a red line tied to his feet all the time.
While on the red line's other end, passing under the awning, it was correlated with all the Younger Brothers and Sisters.
He had already made the preparation to bear that Virtual Sword.
He was ready to be hurt.
To be severely wounded.
But he was not ready to die.
Because if he died, there was no way that the Verdant Canyon could be kept safe.
While disturbed by the Qi of Heaven and Earth carried over by the Virtual Sword, the broken arrows on the iron shelter streamed down from its edges as if they were falling sands, ending up as a waterfall of arrows.
While inside the waterfall, Seventh Sister Mu You wore a pale look on her face with her hands holding tightly onto the red thread and pulling the line hard. With her fingers shaking badly, she kept her eyes firmly on the figure of the man who had been standing outside the shelter.
All the physical assault which had been imposed on the awning, on her and her fellow disciples, with this iron shelter included, all would befall on Second Brother in the end. However, the person who Second Brother fought with this time was not a Sword Garret's disciple coming from the South Jin Kingdom, but the Abbey Dean of the Zhishou Abbey who was a godlike guardian. Would Second Brother be able to endure his attack? How badly would he be wounded? Would he be fine or not?
All of a sudden, she glimpsed an extremely shocking scene.
The red thread hiding in the sand and mud had been secretly cut off by someone, and nobody knew when it happened!
Fourth Brother's fingers just left his ankle.
There was another red thread tied to his ankle.
That red thread originally tied to Second Brother was fastened to Fourth Brother's ankle instead, which also meant that it would be Fourth Brother who was going to bear the Virtual Sword of the Taoist in indigo!
Originally, the tactical array was designed by Fourth Brother along with his senior brothers and it took its final form in the end after revisions made by Eldest Brother. Mu You knew that all the changes Fourth Brother was making right now would not cause any problems at all.
However, merely being in the Seethrough Realm, how would he be capable of warding off the blow coming from Abbey Dean of the Zhishou Abbey?
Before Mu You's exclamation could come out of her lips, the Virtual Sword had shown up.
The dim and ghostly shadow of sword seemed to have gone far beyond the scope of speed.
