Chapter 960: Fighting For Survival

With just a glance, Daoist Zixuan knew that the sword that had accompanied her for hundreds of years had been practically ruined by the corroding black fog.

“My magic weapon.”

Her lips quivered with distress. Her Whole Unitary Sect had many magic weapons and tools, but the top-tier ones were few and far between. She received this sword as an inheritance from the sect’s elder, her Master. She had painstakingly nourished it with her True Origin power for hundreds of years, yet all of it went to waste now.

At this time, gushing killing intent finally birthed inside Daoist Zixuan’s heart despite the firm mind she had been cultivating. She truly hated all these Celestial Wizard people and was hardly able to contain herself from killing all of them. Yet, her sane self still reminded her that it would be a huge endeavor, even if she staked everything.

Even if she did try by staking everything and going all out, it was highly likely that she’d also die in the process, dragging her 10 disciples on the ship into this battle.

A few kilometers away, Tang Xiu could clearly see the battle scene in the distance through the high-powered binoculars. The outcome of the fight so far was not within his expectations, as only three experts of the Celestial Wizard clan were able to take the upper hand and force Daoist Zixuan to retreat, and her magical sword was also ruined.

“It’s really a pity.” Tang Xiu shook his head secretly.

Mo Awu put down the binoculars and said, “I think that Whole Unitary Sect’s female expert won’t be able to face these Celestial Wizard people. Also, there’s something strange with that black fog. It’s so corrosive and able to corrode and ruin her sword.”

“Yeah. If there was only one of the wizards, Daoist Zixuan would’ve been able to kill him easily.” Tang Xiu nodded and added, “But she’s facing against three while her opponents excel at team cooperation. Killing the three of them will prove very difficult for her. With her current situation, she’d pay a grave price to kill those three, even if she puts her life on the line.”

“I think the Celestial Wizard clan has also brought some other experts besides those three, Boss,” added Mo Awu in a deep voice. “There are more than forty more people on those two ships, so it’s very likely that some more powerful experts are hiding among them.”

“No, there are no more powerful experts on those two ships.” Tang Xiu shook his head after there was silence for a short while. “But there are some men on the newly arrived ship. They are at least not weaker than those three.”

Mo Awu was stunned, but recovered quickly to lift up the binoculars to look in the surroundings again. He quickly found that there was another ship near the two previous ships. There were only a few people on it, about a dozen, but the old man sitting on a chair on the deck looked to be strikingly atypical.

“The Celestial Wizard clan’s reinforcements just arrived?! Boss, it will be very difficult for those Whole Unitary Sect cultivators to return back alive if we don’t help them.”

“Yeah,” replied Tang Xiu. He then shot a glance at Jin Chanzi’s group of ten from the Whole Unitary Sect and added, “This sect has a long history and heritage that has been passed down for millenniums. The cultivation resources they have hoarded must be huge given that Jin Chanzi and his martial brothers were able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage despite their young age; therefore, this sect must have invested a lot of resources on them. We have an agreement with this sect, and I need cultivation resources from them, so Daoist Zixuan mustn’t die.”

“Would you like me to contact everyone on the 9th island to come over?” asked Mu Awu.

“No need.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Our men are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so they won’t be able to fight in the air for a long time. Their True Essence power will be consumed quickly and they will fall into problems once they join the fight. We need to lure these Celestial Wizard people to the 9th island.”

“Let me do it, Boss,” said Mo Awu.

Tang Xiu thought about it and nodded. “I’ll give you this task later, but not now. We’re going to rescue the Whole Unitary Sect’s people once they are in dire peril. With a life-saving grace that they owe us, we’ll have much better leverage in the next business deals with them.”

“You’re really wise, Boss!” praised Mo Awu while raising his thumbs up.

“Hahaha.” Tang Xiu couldn’t help but burst into laughter and said, “You also learned to flatter now, Awu?”

Mo Awu let out hollow laughter in response while scratching the back of his head, saying, “Anyhow, Boss. I’ll only be able to save Daoist Zixuan if we wait for all the Celestial Wizard clan experts to join the fray. What are we gonna do with Jin Chanzi and the nine others?”

“Don’t worry about them!” said Tang Xiu. “These Celestial Wizard clansmen came for revenge in a blood vendetta, so you only need to tell them that we’re the ones who killed their clansmen. I’m sure they won’t pay much attention to Jin Chanzi and the rest.”

In the sky, Daoist Zixuan also saw the arrival of another liner. After observing it, she knew that they were from the Celestial Wizard clan, causing her to finally feel nervous. She was confident that she could escape easily should she choose to flee, but all the disciples she had trained and fostered with painstaking efforts until they reached Foundation Establishment Stage would hardly be able to survive the pursue of the Celestial Wizard clan experts.

‘What should I do now?’
