Chapter 540: Knife of Time

“So it is Aokun!”

No matter how calm and composed he was, at this moment, shock appeared on Wenxu’s face. His expression became darker and darker.

“When did he break through to Saint Realm? You helped him find the Dragon Pellet? Dragon Shadow, you are so bold...”

His hands clenched tight. The bones in his body were crackling, and the air around him was shimmering.

Surprise after surprise after surprise. He thought that he would be able to remove this nail of Gantian Mountain from Donglin Cloud Continent once and for all. That he could gang up on Dragon Shadow, and end all future problems.

However, when both sides went all out, he realized that the other side’s trump cards were far from what he had expected.

... Four thousand Blood Cloud Iron Cavalry, a new Saint Realm expert, that was enough to prove Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect was in an irrecoverable state.

“At the beginning, when I saved Aokun from that person, I made a promise not to help him. I value my promises, so why would I go against my word?”

Dragon Shadow shook his head, filled with a mocking intent. “Zong Shou found him the Destruction Dragon Pellet in the Dragon Hall, along with three drops of reincarnation true fountain water. This was why he benefited from the disaster; he obtained the Destruction Technique and became a saint! That person planned for ten thousand years, and locked up Aokun to try to give the god emperor a helper. He probably didn’t expect that Aokun’s life would change. It seems like the Heaven Path doesn’t solely belong to him...”

As he said this, Dragon Shadow smiled. “Are you panicking? I told you that you wouldn’t be able to bear it!”

Wenxu’s expression didn’t change, only his eyes flashed. He was indeed anxious, and his internal organs felt like they were burning.

Dragon Shadow gave out a maniacal laugh, filled with confidence and fighting spirit. “Then do the three of you want to find out? If within four hours you can beat me, maybe Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect has a chance of living!”

Wenxu kept silent. Even if the three of them worked together, they only had a 30% chance of winning.

Moreover, his Heart Realm was already in a panic, and impulsiveness rose in his heart. They probably didn’t even have a 10% chance of winning this battle.

Moreover, Aokun could come back to help Dragon Shadow at any moment.

Out of the three of them, to have two escape was not bad. At this moment they should not be thinking about how to fight, but instead, how to retreat...

Wenxu’s eyes were filled with despair. Did the heavens want their Lingyun Sect to be destroyed?

※※※※

Zong Shou was still climbing at the midpoint of the mountain. He was already really close to Mysterious Cloud’s spiritual house. However, this last portion was exceptionally tough.

Previously, he had covered three hundred feet in each step, now, if he could take one step it was already not bad.

The Mountain Protecting Spiritual Formation here was struck at by the Kongqi sect Energy Destroying Crossbows and also forcefully interrupted by the Seven Spirit Sect. Portions of the formation ripped apart. It was in a broken state, but closer to the core it was more and more intact.

There were no weaknesses to be found. He couldn’t move through it as easily as before.

Zong Shou made up his mind to break this formation bit by bit.

The Broken Tan Sword in his hand swung randomly in the air. It seemed pointless, but after each swing, fissures would appear in front of him. The path in front of him opened up and he could continue forwards.

With each spiritual restriction unlocked, Zong Shou could sense his understanding of the Talisman Path improving.

Sometimes, when he really couldn’t unlock it, then he would forcefully break it open. The lightning wings on his back had already stretched to a thousand feet.

The only difference from before was that the dense lightning was also surrounded by Sky Burning Flames. The purple wings became black in colour.

Each time they flapped, there would be large continuous explosions that brought about massive destruction!

Each time Zong Shou absorbed some strength from his wings, he would be able to do the impossible, and forcefully open a route.

The noises of discussion from above continued to reach his ears.

“Stop! Save some strength, our spells are totally useless against him!”

“What space technique is he using? This Zong Shou is a freak, he is a demon!”

“Remember to cease using fire and lightning element spells! Not only are they useless, they actually help to increase his strength!

Zong Shou smiled as he continued forward. Actually, if these people continued, his Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash Technique wouldn’t have lasted for much longer.

If he continued to use it, without a water element bloodline to control the Sky Burning Flame, it would go out of control.

As expected, he needed to first slay a water element god beast and absorb its bloodline mark.

Just as he was thinking this, Zong Shou suddenly felt a stab in his mind, that caused him to look up.

A youth stood a hundred feet ahead. He was really delicate and pretty, and was filled with the aura of a bookworm. In his hand he held a three-inch-long curved knife.

Zong Shou’s brows rose and looked carefully at this person. He could feel his peak knife sense.

“Knife Lord Wuhui?”

“It is Li Wuhui! I am not good enough for the title of ‘Knife Lord.’” The youth replied, and then his knife tip pointed behind as he bowed solemnly.

“I shouldn’t have come to this battle, but I am here because I owe them a favour. If I have offended you, Your Highness, please forgive me.”

Zong Shou laughed when he heard that. “My heart has always been narrow!”

Li Wuhui was startled when he heard that, and then he smiled. “Your Highness is really an interesting person, you are so direct. I have already seen your sword technique. To be able to fight you is a blessing and my good fortune! Now, watch closely.”

A bright light suddenly slashed out from his sheath. It was so quick that there was an afterimage, like that of a spark. If one didn’t pay attention, they would not be able to see it.

When that suppressing knife intent had been added to the knife, it was no longer restricted by the space laws, exceeding its limit!

Zong Shou’s eyes turned serious. Right away, he raised a sword to block the oncoming blow.

A loud clang, and both the knife and sword were forced back. However, the huge power emanating from the knife’s body nearly made Zong Shou take a step back.

Li Wuhui’s strength wasn’t as high as that of Yuan Wushang, and he was weaker than Jueyu. However, every time he attacked, due to his speed, the knife became stronger and more focused.

After a few successive strikes, Zong Shou’s brows furrowed, before he relaxed and showed an enlightened expression.

“So it is time!”

That bright, curved knife could slice through time and use its strength. Time Knife Intent!

That Li Wuhui was also shocked. “Your Highness is really amazing. This is the first time someone has recognized the foundations of my knife intent!”

It actually was time! No wonder the knife was so quick.

Zong Shou frowned. It was not only fast, but also really sharp. In just a brief moment, it caused many chips to appear on his Broken Tan Sword.

He felt his head ache. If he didn’t return to his body and use a spirit and martial arts merger to fight, then it would be difficult to beat him.

The knife blade was about to reach his body. Zong Shou also stabbed out, and his blade was also really sharp. It had also reached the speed of the curved knife, and the blades clashed together once more in the air.

Based on the theories that people would come up with ten thousand years later, beside the black hole and white hole, what was twisted wasn’t merely space, but also time.

His sword could travel alongside time! It was the Instant Space Dragon Sword!

When this sword was brandished by Zong Shou, Li Wuhui exclaimed in surprise that Zong Shou’s sword speed could actually keep up with his.

The sword and knife clashed several times, and there was a crisp ‘ding.’

That curved knife and Zong Shou’s Broken Tan Sword actually broke at the same time.

Li Wuhui instantly retreated a hundred feet away.

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed. He had come with his soul and, hadn’t bring a reserve sword.

Who knew that someone on the peak of the mountain would be able to break his sword.

Since the Broken Tan Sword had shattered...

He reached out into the air and the spiritual energy of space gathered, forming into a black sword.

Li Wuhui’s expression changed, and he retreated another hundred feet. “So it is you! I nearly didn’t recognize you. We don’t have to fight anymore!”

Zong Shou was stunned. What did he mean by ‘so it is you?’ What had this Li Wuhui recognized?

Following which he heard him laugh. “In the past, I saw you spar with others and benefited a lot. My knife sense could reach the peak level because of you. Although you look different, the sword technique is the same. Although you can use the Nine Dragon Sword, you still have his shadow.”

Zong Shou thought about it and instantly understood. He knew that what Li Wuhui mentioned was most probably his battle with Jueyu. There were simply too many people spectating, so this Li Wuhui was most probably amongst them.

Even if he wanted to hide, some of his habits couldn’t change.

The way he had blocked those knife blows looked like the technique of the One Origin Yin Sword.

Others might not see through it, but peak experts like Li Wuhui could definitely sense it.

Thinking about this, Zong Shou calmed down and entered deep thought. “I am thinking about how to kill you so that you won’t speak!”

“I will keep it a secret!” Li Wuhui smiled, “Moreover, I don’t think Your Highness needs to fear fear anything. You definitely don’t need to do something so dumb.”

Zong Shou smiled. That was true.

“I though you said that you owed Lingyun Sect a favor? Are you going to forget it, just like that?

“You can’t put it that way! This is only because I owe Senior Brother more.”

As Li Wuhui said this, he also mocked himself. “I also know that I am not your opponent. If we continue, I will only one die, so why fight? I am called Wuhui, but I’m not so foolish as the people around me, to see death as a boon.”

Zong Shou’s expression didn’t change. This person was quite smart and knew his place.

Except, he didn’t plan on letting him go with just few words.

‘Blood-Kill Twin Flags, kill them all!’ Those weren’t just words.

No matter who, anyone standing in front of him would die under his sword!

Li Wuhui seemed to know what Zong Shou was thinking. He sighed and showed a thankful expression. “I know that your highness definitely wants to kill me. Luckily, I repaired some things before I came...”

While he spoke, Li Wuhui threw out a purple-gold spiritual talisman.

The space around him filled with time and space spiritual energy.
