AST 1454 - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Sky Sun Sect’s Destruction (1/2)

Qing Shui didn’t know who this slightly strange-looking old man was, but one thing that he was certain about was that he definitely held quite a high position within Sky Sun Sect.

The old man would never have expected for Tantai Lingyan’s strength to be so different from what it used to be, let alone the fact that she had received the Demon Lord Inheritance. A displeased look flashed across the old man’s face as he watched Tantai Lingyan charging towards him.

The only thing which puzzled Qing Shui was why Tantai Lingyan had learned the Nine Stances of Ancient Divine Battle Technique. That was a battle technique which was used by battle gods. Wouldn’t it clash with her Demon Lord Inheritance?

In the past, he had also witnessed Tantai Lingyan in battles, but he was uncertain on whether those acute and sharp attacks of hers were the Demon Lord’s Battle Techniques. Normally, there would rarely be clashes between battle techniques. In fact, the people who received the Demon Lord’s Inheritance would find it much easier to learn the Demon Lord’s Battle Techniques.

At the moment when Tantai Lingyan entered the old man’s offensive range, the aura all across her body burst out abruptly. With the bloody red long sword in her hand, she unleashed the Nine Stances of Ancient Divine Battle Technique.

Nine Stances of Ancient Divine Battle Technique, Third Stance!

Qing Shui was startled as he looked at the acute and well-practiced attack. He had no idea when the woman had cultivated such techniques. She managed to perform them at a very high speed. From here, he confirmed that the woman must have something good hidden under her sleeve. However, it’s unlikely to be something similar to the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. It should be more like some sort of treasure which aided her in boosting her cultivation speed.

The old man opened his eyes abruptly and moved far away backwards. Everything was fine, but the only problem was that this was an attack which Tantai Lingyan had been preparing for a long time. There was no way she would let him off that easily. She stomped on the ground and charged towards the old man at an even higher speed. Bloody red light shot out of the sword of hers and immobilized the old man.

Pu-chi!

The old man looked at the long sword that had penetrated through his chest in disbelief. It only took her one single move…. Never had he expected the woman who he had thought poorly of would actually finish him off in one move. Was the Sky Sun Sect done for?

Tantai Lingyan took out her Supreme Devil Equipment. Though reluctant, the old man collapsed to the ground. Following on, she swiftly approached the other men. The footworks she used was a combination of her own footsteps along with the Eight Trigram Step. With them combined, even Qing Shui himself was unable to find any flaws in it.

In terms of talent, this woman had to be near the top of people Qing Shui had come across. The remaining few people were under the mercy of Tantai Lingyan’s sword. The gap in strength between them was too large. As of now, the only people who could still be a threat to Tantai Lingyan would be people like the Patriarch from Soaring Dragon Organization.

One of the old men sneakily moved back and released a huge firework. It made an ear-piercing noise which travelled far away into the distance. That was the Sky Sun Sect’s distress call. However, seeing that the place where the distress call was released was precisely within Sky Sun Sect itself, it had instead become a signal which signalled that the sect was in danger.

Seeing as things were already like this, Qing Shui didn’t hesitate to rush in. He began slicing down the cornerstones of Sky Sun Sect like he was breaking off dead branches from a tree. Just as they were at the brink of elimination, about ten figures appeared below the Sky Sun Sect. Together, they made their way up.

“Who are you? You dare cause a mess around the Sky Sun Sect?”

An old and noble voice came through. That voice felt like the noise of a surging thunder. In an instant, these people was already in front of Qing Shui.

“Who am I? You actually dared to question who I am? You old fool. Debt is meant to be paid. You owe me many lives and yet you forgot about me so soon.” Tantai Lingyan said coldly.

“Oh, it’s who I thought it was. You are all that’s left of the Demon Lord Palace, and yet you don’t appreciate it. Today, I am going to permanently destroy the Demon Lord Palace.”

The old man’s hair looked like steel needles. He was just like a male lion. Judging by his look, he was a fierce and violent man, unlike the old man from before who one could tell was a bad person from one glance.

At this moment, Qing Shui and the group stood together with Tantai Lingyan. In fact, earlier on, he has already patted the Heavenly Talismans on each of them. He also activated the Phoenix’s Battle Intent.

As of now, the woman’s strength was already well beyond a hundred million sun. Even Qing Shui was surprised about it.

Since it had already been decided that they would kill everything, there was nothing more to talk about. Qing Shui abruptly tossed out slightly more than a hundred of the Heavenly Talismans. They were all talismans used to weaken the opponents. Afterwards, he continued his attack by unleashing his Emperor’s Qi.

“Attack!” Qing Shui was the first person to charge out in front.

Nine Continents Mountain!

Barrier!

Qing Shui summoned the Nine Continents Mountain. He continued to unleash his attacks by striking with the Golden Battle Halberd using the First Stance of the Nine Stance of Ancient Divine Battle Technique. He controlled the Nine Continents Mountain with his consciousness and proceeded to thrust it out towards the opponents.

Hong!

The tremendous impact immediately cut the opponents’ group in half.

Set up the formation!

Sky Sun Fire Separation Formation!

The old man leading the group screamed out loudly. The people around him swiftly moved into position to form two huge formations. As soon as the formation was set up, a thread of golden light immediately emerged from the bodies of the people within the formation. The aura across their bodies rose immediately.

Qing Shui knitted his brows and summoned the Dragon Slaying Beast.

Sky Sun Flame, burn!

Suddenly, the people within the formation transferred the thread of golden light onto the old man’s body. At this moment, the old man looked just like a miniature sun. He swung his sword and released an enormous amount of golden flame.

This was just showing off before an expert.

Right now, Qing Shui even felt like laughing. He had the Nine-Yang Body and specialized in both the Nine Yang and Primordial Flame. He was able to neglect 80% of the damage caused by flame attacks. Not only that, he also had the Arhat Rosary Bead, which further aided him by neglecting 50% of Spirit Energy attacks. Even if this accumulated huge flame was in front of him, it would still do nothing to him.

Qing Shui operated his Flames of Yin-Yang and immediately dissolved the flame around him. This was the exclusive sect battle technique of the Sky Sun Sect. The reason they managed to hold their own ground in the continent was precisely due to their Sky Sun Flame. But now, it was totally ignored by Qing Shui. This caused a huge impact in their hearts, causing them to forget how to even attack.

Break it!

With a couple of flashes, Qing Shui appeared right outside of the formation. He abruptly released his Golden Battle Halberd.

Nine Stances of Ancient Divine Battle Technique!
