Chapter 73: Broken!

With the main peak in the center, the Qiling and Mingxiu Peak were located on the west and east side respectively. The Yuxi and Pinxin Peak stood on the main peak’s southwest and southeastern direction. The Kaiyuan and Luohui peaks were on the northwest and northeast. The last two formed a massive gate that stopped the invasion of the Four Spiritual Peak.

The battle between the Martial Extermination Realm Cultivators had reached the peak, but it seemed as though none of them could achieve the upper hand.

Ever since the appearance of Liu Qinglan, the Four Spiritual Peak didn’t send out another expert at the Martial Extermination Realm to deal with the Tongyou Peak.

The members of the Tongyou Peak knew that things weren’t as simple as it seemed and the Four Spiritual Peak was merely dragging things out. The members of the Four Spiritual Peak were like bystanders who were watching the battle as they waited for something to happen, but the Tongyou Peak had already caught wind of their plan.

Basically, every important personnel on the Tongyou Peak knew that the Four Spiritual Peak was waiting for the Rose Party to destroy the protection formation around the Tongyou Peak before making their move.

After all, waiting for the protection formation to fall could greatly reduce their casualties! No matter how confident they were, the Tongyou Institution had been running the Tongyou Peak for close to twenty years! They wouldn’t dare to underestimate their enemy.

What the members of the Four Spiritual Peak didn’t know was that the Tongyou Peak was also waiting for the members of the Rose Party to jump out to attack the protection formation.

Eventually, it fell into a waiting game as both sides were waiting for the Rose Party to do their thing!

Now, the time has come!

Ji Chen was the manager of one of the Ji Clan’s businesses, and due to some accounting issues, the goods that were meant to be sent to the Qiling Peak had been delayed by one day.

Due to the sudden battle that fell on their heads, he hurried the various attendants to rush over the bridge with the goods.

“Hurry up! Be careful of where you’re stepping! Young Master Ji Min urgently requires these supplies. If you mess up, just jump off the bridge and kill yourself!” He yelled urgently as the attendants rushed across the bridge. He looked at the Qiling Peak in the distance. Seeing as the attendants had arrived at the center of the bridge, an insidious smile appeared on Ji Chen’s face and he brought out a black jade bottle .

“Hehe, the chains connected to the support pillars are protected by a layer of restrictions. Without the cultivation of a Martial Intent Realm expert, there’s no need to think of breaking it. However with this…”

He chuckled in amusement and he opened the bottle. Just as he was about to pour it on the chains, a voice rang beside his ear. “Ahem… What is in this bottle?”

A wheeze came from beside him and the bottle trembled in his hand.

A ray of light blinded him and by the time Ji Chen came to his senses, he felt a numbing coldness coming from his wrists. They had been sliced right off as the black jade bottle fell into someone else’s hand. Blood sprayed from his wound and landed on the bridge.

Alas. His blood wasn’t strong enough to destroy the restrictions.

“Indeed… It’s Spiritual Filth Liquid.” Yuan Zilu looked at the bottle before turning back to Ji Chen. “You deserve death!”

Another ray of light shot past and Ji Chen tried to raise his hand to hold his neck when he realized that his hands were no longer attached to his arm. Gurgling, he choked on his blood as he crumpled to the ground helplessly.

The commotion was quickly discovered by those on the Qiling Peak and a figure dated into the air. The figure soared through the air and quickly arrived on the main peak. “What’s going on?”

Yuan Zhen looked at Ji Chen whose body was still twitching on the ground before turning to Yuan Zilu. Since Ji Chen was the manager of one of the Ji Clan’s businesses, Yuan Zhen recognized him.

“It’s Spiritual Filth Liquid.” Yuan Zilu handed the bottle over before staring at the corpse. “He either got controlled by the Rose Party, or someone else took his place by disguising as him...”

“God damn it!” Yuan Zhen’s expression changed when he noticed the liquid in the bottle. Squatting beside Ji Chen, he reached over and tore off a human skin mask. The person revealed below was completely foreign.

“I’ll let Ji Min know about this. We’ll try to look for him, but from how things are, the chances of him being alive is slim to none.” Yuan Zhen sighed. Just as he was about to return to the Qiling Peak, a loud clattering sound rang through the skies.

The bridges connecting the various peaks emitted a high-pitched ringing, and Yuan Zhen’s expression changed.

“Not good! One of the chains is broken! How can this happen?!”

“It’s the Kaiyuan Peak! Tang Yuan and Sang Youqi are the ones stationed there!” Yuan Zilu’s expression turned completely black. Due to the injuries he suffered, his chest heaved violently when he thought of the possibilities.

“Sang Youqi?!” Yuan Zhen guessed as he started to run towards the Kaiyuan Peak.

He was stopped by Yuan Zilu. “I’ll go. If it’s really broken, our defensive formation will start to show signs of weaknesses. The other peaks will have to endure a whole lot more pressure. You cannot leave Ji Min alone.”

“But your injuries…” Yuan Zhen frowned.

“I won’t die. Moreover, there will be several others heading over.” Yuan Zilu growled as he leaped into action.

Back at the bridge connecting the main peak to the Mingxiu Peak.

With Shang Xia’s reminder, Sun Haiwei managed to snap back to reality and unleash her Mysterious Burning Ice Art to seal Jin Guanchao in a ball of ice. Above her.

As an upper division student cultivated by the institution, Jin Guanchao was no pushover. His cultivation was slightly higher than Sun Haiwei.

Jin Guanchao’s figure started to turn a little blurry before solidifying again. Cracks started to form in the ball of ice trapping him.

Even though Sun Haiwei tried her best to maintain the ice prison, the cracks formed much quicker than she could repair them. Her hands started to tremble slightly.

As the crack extended all the way around the sphere of ice, Jin Guanchao’s expression twisted and he released his inner qi.

The sphere was blasted apart and Sun Haiwei’s body shook violently. She spat out a mouthful of blood and it was clear that she suffered internal injuries.

As the shards of ice scattered all around, Jin Guanchao charged towards her.

He might be quick, but someone was even faster than him!

A thunderous explosion rang through the air and a streak of red lightning went straight for Jin Guanchao. Seeing as there was no way to avoid it, a short stone axe appeared in Jin Guanchao’s hand and he raised it to protect his face.

“Rumble!”

Shang Xia’s beautiful execution of his Chaos Essence Lightning Palm caused some parts of the axe to shatter into countless pieces and the sharp edges tore into Jin Guanchao’s flesh. He was completely disfigured after the strike!

“Shang Xia, you’re looking to die!” Jin Guanchao roared in rage and he jumped into the air. He imbued his inner qi into whatever remained of the axe and flung it at Shang Xia in an attempt to kill the brat. A torrential hurricane of heaven and earth qi rushed towards him.

“Martial Intent!” Shang Xia didn’t expect Jin Guanchao to be able to muster up enough energy to make a counter attack even after suffering so much damage!

It was then he finally realized how powerful a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Extremity Realm actually was.

“Be careful!” Sun Haiwei screamed. She managed to catch her breath after Shang Xia bought some time for her, and she gathered her inner qi to counter attack.

Even so, Shang Xia’s expression was solemn as he looked at the incoming wave of inner qi.

The Yin Yang Essence Qi in his body was transferred into the Delicate Jade River Sword and the body of the blade became taut.

A soft grunt left his lips as he chose not to retreat. Mustering his strength, he stabbed at the axe flying his way.

All of a sudden, the inner qi in his body transformed. From a pure strength type attribute, it became qi that contained the attribute of softness.

The Delicate Jade River Sword was no longer as stiff as it had been and he accurately struck the tip of the axe thrice. It nullified the force from the axe.

Before Shang Xia could heave a sigh of relief, the stone axe trembled slightly and changed its trajectory. It wanted to return to Jin Guanchao!

Shang Xia’s eyes widened in surprise. As it turned out, a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Extremity Realm could do something like that!

Of course, he wouldn’t allow Jin Guanchao to retrieve his weapons so easily.

The Delicate Jade River Sword in his hand bent slightly and wrapped around the handle of the axe. He took a step forward and struck the axe with his palm, scattering the heaven and earth qi around it. At the same time, he destroyed Jin Guanchao’s lingering martial intent!
