Chapter 127 – Rules Between Spirit Masters
“How stubborn. Xu Disheng is finished.”
“He’s still not admitting defeat? Senior Martial Brother Kou is about to attack at full force!”
“Looks like your 10,000 spirit stones are going to be going down the drain, Senior Martial Brother He,” Li Cangyun said, standing next to He Junyu.
He Junyu glanced at him expressionlessly.
Even though he always looked favorably upon Xu Disheng, even he couldn’t imagine how Xu Disheng could break through this situation aside from admitting defeat.
Unless he could pull out a Psychic Magic Treasure of some sort.
Xu Disheng got back to his feet, using his profound qi to support his leg. “Then Kou Zun, let me hand those words back to you. I won’t kill you. I’ll let you live, but I will cripple your cultivation.”
“Has he gone mad?” several disciples cried out in bewilderment.
“He actually dares to provoke Senior Martial Brother Kou at this point? Does he really wants to die?!” There were some disciples who looked sorry for Xu Disheng, while others looked regretfully upon him, saddened by the imminent downfall of a newly risen genius.
Kou Zun’s expression gradually turned unsightly. He no longer held himself back and surged all of his might into the Demon Punishing Array Diagram.
Four dazzlingly bright sword lights of varying colors swept across the arena, drawing a line from the sky to the earth as they sliced down towards Xu Disheng at breakneck speed!
Some disciples couldn’t bear to watch anymore and closed their eyes.
There were also disciples with ruthless, violent temperaments who opened their eyes even wider, hoping to capture the moment of Xu Disheng being torn to bits by the four sword lights.
He Junyu shook his head and let out a sigh.
Even the eyelids of Celestial Tide Spirit Master, sitting on high atop the giant turtle with his eyes closed in meditation, twitched slightly.
“Why doesn’t Junior Martial Brother Xu just admit defeat…?!” Bai Zhehua, Zhang Haobo, and several others lamented, repeatedly letting out sighs. Among the disciples, they were standing off in a fairly inconspicuous location and watching the events taking place in the distant arena through a screen of light.
A profound yellow light flooded heaven and earth, illuminating it completely. Even Kou Zun, the master of the array diagram, couldn’t see the scene taking place within the array diagram.
“He’s dead?”
“He died just like that?”
“Ai, why didn’t he just admit defeat? I really don’t get it. Even if he dies here, no one will remember him before long. What’s the point?”
“Before Senior Martial Brother Kou took out the Demon Punishing Array Diagram, I actually bet 50 spirit stones on Xu Disheng just for kicks, hoping to get lucky. I didn’t think the bet would fall through just like that.” Some of the disciples who were fond of gambling muttered complaints about the spirit stones they wagered.
When the blinding radiance faded, Xu Disheng was standing there, completely unharmed.
Those four merciless longswords emitted their distinctly colored sword lights as they hovered and revolved around Xu Disheng. However, they were very clearly being held off at a radius of 5 meters by the profound yellow radiance, unable to advance even an inch further.
The gilded trim on Xu Disheng’s Soul Suppressing Vestment had become even more distinct. An immeasurable golden light shone forth from the vestment, resonating with the profound yellow light surrounding his body.
His jet black hair had already come loose. There was a small, exquisitely detailed pagoda revolving above his head, spilling forth an inexhaustible profound yellow radiance that protected his body.
It was the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda!
It was an Innate Xiantian Treasure used by Immortals in bygone eras of tribulations past!
He had finally unearthed a single face of it.
“What Magic Treasure is that?!”
“Could that be a Psychic Magic Treasure?”
The faces of countless disciples were colored with shock. They thought that Xu Disheng had already been chopped to ribbons by the sword lights, but at this moment, he was still standing tall in his original position. For the first time in this match, Kou Zun’s expression turned serious.
Tranquil Cypress Spirit Master’s gaze shifted to the Demon Punishing Array Diagram above the arena. She watched as a black mote of light appeared beneath it, quickly transforming into a massive Evil Spirit skull that howled and screeched as it lunged towards Kou Zun.
“That’s the secret ghost Dao technique that Xu Disheng used in the Mirage Sea Realm to kill Zhao Yueban!” Some of the well-informed disciples cried out.
When Killing Heart Spirit Master summoned the screen of light in his hand to watch the scene of Xu Disheng killing Zhao Yueban, he hadn’t gone out of his way to hide it from other people.
At the time, quite a few disciples who were watching the tournament from high up in the sky had seen the screen. As a result, some of the more well-informed groups of people recognized the secret ghost Dao technique that Xu Disheng used.
However, this move wasn’t the same as the Swallowing Soul Mantra that he had used at the time. It was the fifth scripture of Soul Song, the Extinguishing Soul Mantra!
Through the half-opened eyelids of the Evil Spirit skull, a crimson, blood colored light glowed, enveloping Kou Zun in its hue.
Kou Zun’s expression changed wildly. His entire left arm, which had inadvertently been shined upon by that beam of blood-colored light, was instantly turned into a dissipating black mist. He felt like a portion of his soul was torn away with it, weakening him drastically and causing his consciousness to halt for a moment!
Unable to restrain himself any longer, an inexhaustible killing intent erupted in Kou Zun’s eyes. “I originally wanted to save this Magic Treasure to fight against the top 5. I never thought a primitive from the Secret Realms like you would be able to force me to pull this out now.”
By this point, it was no secret that Xu Disheng came from the Mortal Secret Realms.
A white vestment appeared on Kou Zun’s body. At that moment, the penetrating blood crimson light from the Extinguishing Soul Mantra looked like it was being obstructed. As it continued to shine upon the white vestment, a loud hissing sound could be heard, but for the moment, it couldn’t advance even an inch further.
“A Psychic Magic Treasure!”
The sudden series of changes spanned only several breaths of time, so most of the disciples were only just starting to react. They began to talk excitedly, expressions colored with astonishment.
The battle situation in the arena suddenly became complicated. Xu Disheng unexpectedly pulled out that small pagoda, which was suspected to be a Psychic Magic Treasure, while Kou Zun even more shockingly revealed his biggest trump card, the Departure from Hatred Vestment.
In fact, Kou Zun also had a defensive-type top-grade Magic Treasure, but Xu Disheng’s Extinguishing Soul Mantra made him feel threatened, causing him to make a rushed, but ultimately correct decision to use the Departure from Hatred Vestment.
Profound yellow light shone down, surrounding Xu Disheng’s body. He stored the Yin Yang Diagram and dropped into the ocean, immersing himself in the depths of the boundless waters.
A short moment later, a loud explosion rang out from the Demon Punishing Array Diagram. It returned to its original size and form and flew back to Kou Zun, where it hovered near his person.
When Xu Disheng appeared back in the arena, he was surrounded by innumerable rays of profound yellow light.
As soon as Xu Disheng regained his bearings within the arena, he poured all of the remaining Soul Force in the black Soul Force flute into another Extinguishing Soul Mantra. An Evil Spirit skull appeared over the arena, its eyes open a fraction wider than before. The blood-colored beam coming from its eyes was now several times stronger. It enveloped Kou Zun, who was standing on the other side of the arena.
The Departure from Hatred Vestment scattered forth white light as it went all-out in resisting the blood-colored light from the Extinguishing Soul Mantra. But Kou Zun already had a bad feeling. The Departure from Hatred Vestment was a Psychic Magic Treasure, but somehow it wasn’t enough to completely block this strange blood-colored light!
A few shafts of the blood-colored light from the Extinguishing Soul Mantra penetrated the defenses of the Psychic Magic Treasure. At the places where the small beams of light came into contact with Kou Zun’s body, large chunks of flesh were instantly melted and turned into black smoke. He suddenly felt his mind become even more indistinct than before.
Kou Zun gritted his teeth and screamed in his heart. “What the hell is this cultivation method?! Even a Psychic Magic Treasure can’t completely block it!”
In the end, the three words it took to admit defeat never left his mouth.
His own pride wouldn’t let him say it.
At that moment, a dignified voice swept the arena. “Kou Zun admits defeat. Stay your hand.”
Hearing the voice of Pure Ocean Spirit Master, Tao Yuanbai quickly spoke. “Xu Disheng, stop. You win.”
Xu Disheng put away the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda and waved his hand, causing the Evil Spirit skull to close its eyes, shrink back down, and fly back to his fingertip.
Kou Zun’s face was flashing between shades of green and pale white as he glared at Xu Disheng with eyes full of resentment.
At this point, there were several tens of thousands of disciples crowded around the massive arena, but it was possible to hear a pin drop. As Xu Disheng stood there in the center of the stage, the focus of everyone’s attention, his black hair fluttered loosely in the wind.
Kou Zun’s gaze suddenly turned when he became aware of the fact that Xu Disheng had put away that small pagoda. Some of the power of Kou Zun’s soul was depleted, so his mind would never be as quick or rational as it once was. The shame and humiliation of defeat washed through his body and mind, rage coursing through him to the point of bursting. He suddenly brandished the Demon Punishing Array Diagram and sent out all four swords, unleashing countless sword lights upon Xu Disheng!
Xu Disheng shook his head. He was just about to release the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda when he heard a young man’s voice resonate through the entire Green Lotus Domain. “HALT!”
It was so loud that perhaps even the deaf could hear it. Invisible ripples reverberated out in all directions, and the expressions of many of the disciples turned unsightly, forcing them to use profound qi to temporarily cover their ears.
An enormous palm appeared in the space above the arena. With a single light swipe, it smashed through the ever-reliable, steadfast barrier surrounding the arena, grabbed Kou Zun, the Demon Punishing Array Diagram, and all four Demon Punishing Swords in one go.
At that moment, the owner of the palm seemed to pause. In the next instant, a cloak came drifting down from the air, and the voice spoke once more. “Kou Zun has violated the rules. This top-grade Magic Treasure will serve to make amends.”
Atop one of the chariots, Celestial Tide Spirit Master’s eyes opened. He extended his left hand and flashed a hand seal.
An endless fog and mist coalesced in the domain and the enormous palm that was holding Kou Zun was frozen solid. Celestial Tide Spirit Master said indifferently, “Pure Ocean, your disciple committed a flagrant violation of the rules. According to the law, the proper punishment should be death.”
The owner of the enormous palm paused, but eventually refrained from responding. After a short moment, the Demon Punishing Array, which was being held in the palm’s grasp, flew towards Celestial Tide Spirit Master.
Celestial Tide Spirit Master released his technique, then put away the Demon Punishing Array Diagram. He closed his eyes once more, refusing to bring up the matter of sect rules any further.
