Chapter 777 - 410: The Struggle for the Prize (Part 2)
"散 practitioner Wang Pengzu of Sky Covering Mountain, here to learn the Nine Yin Mountain’s high skills! Please grant your teachings!"
Tie Dan saw they weren’t his intended targets, kept a stern face without responding, and continued to twist the sword light downwards, shattering the earth vein into pieces.
These two were also grand figures at the peak of Divinity Transformation, immortal beings recognized by each other. Seeing the Nascent Soul junior wouldn’t respond, showing such disrespect, they were evidently displeased. Sharing a glance, they reached a tacit agreement and simultaneously began their magic; one summoned colorful clouds to the sky, the other shook the sword light, secretly joining forces to form a pincer attack, charging together!
"Good! Come!"
Tie Dan was expecting to find someone to fight and cause a commotion, fearing them not at all, even welcoming it! In mid-air, he raised the forty-zhang Divine Sword, swung it down swiftly! The Beichen Sword Radiance emitted blue and white sword light, shooting swiftly, directly splitting the clouds! Slashing towards the western old immortal Zhong Nanzi!
"Whoa!" "Ha!"
Those two Divine Monarchs were shameless, simultaneously striking out. Zhong Nanzi directly brushed his sleeve, gathering the surrounding colorful clouds into a cloud mass to block the sword. Wang Pengzu, without hesitation, pointed his Divine Sword to shoot a mighty sword rainbow, aiming directly at Tie Dan’s core!
The three were meeting for the first time and naturally started probing, each reserving their strength, but unexpectedly in the first exchange, they found it unable to hold.
"Ah!"
A scream was heard! The white-robed old Daoist directly transformed into a blood-robed Daoist! The Beichen Sword Radiance struck forth, completely unstoppable, unstoppable! The multitude of clouds and layers of Daoist energy proved utterly useless! In an instant, the sword light broke through the magical defense, piercing the clouds, splitting them in mid-air! Cutting off a blossom atop, an arm! One sword broke the Dharma Body!
"Ow—!"
Defeated in one move! Zhong Nanzi screamed in misery! Turned and fled! Escaped swiftly! Left swift! Even the surrounding clouds couldn’t catch up! Tie Dan didn’t pursue, after all, the sword light from the other side had reached his face!
"Buzz!"
Sky Covering Mountain’s Wang Pengzu, undeniably refined in power and aggressive in cultivation! The Divine Sword in his hand was clearly a Treasure of Divinity Transformation, undeniably sharp! Yet Tie Dan didn’t dodge! Didn’t evade! Just took the slash head-on!
Who could’ve thought, that fierce, unmatched, sharp sword light, swept three feet in front of Tie Dan, would suddenly break apart like flowing water! As if there’s an invisible barrier encircling Tie Dan, making the mighty sword light unable to touch the Dao Body, hitting directly onto a non-visible water sphere! Deflecting and refracting all sword light and sword energy!
Indeed! It was the Beichen Yaoguang Deviation Sword Ball! As long as one masters the composition of sword energy, it can be deflected and reflected away!
Now Tie Dan has achieved a small success in Beichen Sword Essence, becoming after Xuan Nu and Monkey, the third Unparalleled Sword Immortal of Nine Luminaries Unification! Immmune to sword light damage!
Wang Pengzu, having such cultivation, obviously wasn’t stupid. Seeing the situation knew it was trouble! The opponent was tough! Immediately wanted to sword escape and flee! But it was too late!
Human Sword Unity, green glow blossoming! Tie Dan directly using the top-notch Beichen Sword Rainbow Escape Body, allowing him faster reach, intercepted Wang Pengzu, stopping him in his path!
Wang Pengzu, seeing Tie Dan become a sword ball in front of him, with dazzling sword aura behind, Nine Luminaries Divine Sword Wheel rotating! Swords could fall at any time chopping him into pieces! In such a situation, he said nothing, swung his sleeve, bowed at a right angle,
"Sect Leader Xuan Yue of Three Elements Extreme Truth Sect, paying respect to the Sword Pavilion’s head! Sect Leader Xuantian!"
Tie Dan narrowed his eyes, glaring at his face, staring until sweat seeped from his neck, ultimately didn’t kill him with a sword, only coldly said,
"What does someone like you count as! Wearing the same color as me!!"
Wang Pengzu was speechless, but at this moment, being held as meat on the chopping board, whispered in persuasion,
"Fellow Daoist might not know, in the mountains, robes and regular clothing mostly come directly from the tailoring shop in Qianzhou.
They commonly use indigo, woad, pagoda tree buds, and amaranth to veg-tan dye, so when washed, whether deep or shallow, it’s commonly just blue or indigo.
If you want it dyed a different color, you have to pay extra for customization, which just isn’t worth it..."
This reasoning had some sense, but for a head of a sect, being so stingy, even wearing wholesale robes like a beggar...
Tie Dan remained cold-faced, casting a sideways glance at the sword in his hand.
"From Nine Yin Mountain’s sword?"
Wang Pengzu quickly flattered with a smile, presenting the sword with both hands.
"Picked up, picked up, returning it to its rightful owner."
Tie Dan sneered,
"Scrap metal, I don’t want it. Keep it if you want!"
"Sect Leader Xuantian is magnanimous, modest and considerate, truly a model for our generation, a paragon of the Mystic Sect, I shall take my leave..."
Wang Pengzu breathed a sigh of relief, just about to control his sword to flee, suddenly Tie Dan advanced, grabbing ahold of his wrist,
"Are you from the Wang Family in Sizhou?"
Wang Pengzu, greatly startled, shook his head repeatedly,
"No, no! My original surname was Tian, from Zhenzhou, this body I picked up along the way!"
Tie Dan wasn’t convinced, pressing further,
"Do you know the General of the Southern Expedition? How is his health?"
Wang Pengzu’s eyes twirled, his face broke into a smile,
"Ah, it turns out the True Monarch and Duke Wuchang are old acquaintances, isn’t that a coincidence!
One stroke writes two Wangs! We are half-brothers of different fathers and mothers!"
Tie Dan’s expression changed,
"Then why doesn’t he dispatch troops to save Suiyang! Is he rebelling!"
Wang Pengzu’s face turned mournful,
"Actually, I was an illegitimate child, abandoned in a ditch from an early age, unaware of the family matters..."
"Stop trying to trick me!"
Tie Dan impatiently dragged him, both fell to the ground,
"What’s going on with this forest! Sealing what thing!"
