Chapter 241: Mortal Board Number One

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

When Gu Shaoyin saw Mo Wuji trapped in his Surface Slicing Spear Shadow, he knew that the other party would lose. Even though he was going to win, he did not feel contented. He came to understand that the other party was truly a rogue cultivator. Only a rogue cultivator would not have his own weapon art.

Mo Wuji looked at the spear shadows and spear intent which blotted out the entire sky and his face was calm without expression. It was true that he did not have any pole related skills but he had a sacred art. Compared to a sacred art, skills count for naught.

His Revolving Star Passage Technique had already been cultivated to the Dou Stage Third Level, Solitary Dreamstar. When Gu Shaoyin had forcefully released his spear shadow, Mo Wuji moved.

The Tian Ji Pole drew half an arc on the Surface Slicing Spear Shadow. Under the control of Mo Wuji’s spiritual will, he formed a curved screen with elemental energy. Thereafter, the number of pole shadows released increased drastically, blurring up that curved screen.

Gu Shaoyin suddenly felt that the Mo Wuji in front of him had disappeared. In front of him, was an empty starry sky; he was alone in this starry sky and he had lost all sense of direction and location.

This is an illusion, it's definitely an illusory skill. Gu Shaoyin immediately closed his eyes; his spear shadows and killing intent thickened.

At the next moment, Gu Shaoyin reopened his eyes. He discovered that even when he closed his eyes, he still felt that his spear intent was facing a solitary, vast starry sky. In front of his spear shadows were countless dreamlike stars.

”Bang!” The spear's killing intent clashed against those dreamlike stars and it instantly transformed into nothingness, dispersing among the starry sky. A horrifying backlash came rebounding back and Gu Shaoyin's heart was filled with shock. How could Rogue Cultivator 2705 to be so strong, to defend against his Surface Slicing Spear Shadow under such circumstances? And there was even such a strong rebound of elemental energy?

That's not right, this rebound did not seem to be of much threat to him.

Boundless amounts of sand and dust filled the air; Gu Shaoyin finally noticed that his spear did not land on Mo Wuji but struck against a sturdy rock by the side. That rock shattered into four to five pieces. At this moment, he saw Mo Wuji's incoming Tian Ji Pole.

I’m going to die. Gu Shaoyin’s heart turned icy cold.

Mo Wuji did not celebrate. If not for his Revolving Star Passage Technique advancing to the third level of the Dou Stage, Gu Shaoyin’s spear art would have left him straggled.

By the side, Cen Shuyin was observing the two's battle with wide eyes. But everything had happened too fast and she completely didn't have the chance to interfere. When she was prepared to rush in and save Mo Wuji, the situation suddenly changed. The Gu Shaoyin, who originally held the absolute advantage, was now facing the threat of death from Mo Wuji.

Before Cen Shuyin could heave a sigh of relief, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a red faced man suddenly emerging from the forest.

When she saw that person, her heart immediately sunk. She recognised this man, he was the red faced cultivator who was always beside Special Envoy Xia. Furthermore, she had even seen this person act out before, and his power was second only to that black haired, white bearded Worldly Immortal King.

Back then, he was standing on the flying ship and with a single punch, he blasted away the alien True God expert who wanted to ambush the ship.

Not good. Cen Shuyin was able to be Sword Lake’s legacy disciple because of her talent alone. In that instant, she knew that the red faced man had definitely appeared so as to save Gu Shaoyin.

Not caring about anything else, Cen Shuyin jumped straight towards Mo Wuji.

For an expert like this red faced man to save Gu Shaoyin from Mo Wuji, there must at least be 100 different ways. However, Cen Shuyin believed that he would directly kill this Rogue Cultivator 2705. There was no other reason, it was simply because that Special Envoy Xia believed Rogue Cultivator 2705 was her dao companion.

”Pui Pui Pui!” Four to five consecutive spurts of blood flashed in front of Mo Wuji's eyes. Light beams had perforated through Cen Shuyin's chest and were now racing towards Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji's face changed drastically; with a lift of his Tian Ji Pole and a twist of his body, two bloodied light beams were blocked by his Tian Ji Pole and a third one was avoided. The fourth and fifth ones pierced through his body, drawing blood once more.

”Plop!” Cen Shuyin landed in Mo Wuji's embrace.

Mo Wuji finally came to a realisation; Cen Shuyin did not jump to him to save that black robed youth, but to help him block these killer light beams. These killer light had perforated through Cen Shuyin's body, turning into bloodied light.

Mo Wuji fetched a few healing pills which he placed into Cen Shuyin's mouth and he swallowed some at the same time. His spiritual will instantly started scanning outwards as he tried to find out who had ambushed him.

”Sorry.” While in Mo Wuji's embrace, Cen Shuyin said a word which left Mo Wuji confused.

”What’s exactly going on?” Mo Wuji asked coldly.

Cen Shuyin's voice was weak, ”I implicated you… They followed me here, I really didn't know…”

Mo Wuji nodded, ”I believe you.”
