Chapter 619: Saintly Being against Saintly Being

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Mu Lingxi was moving at such a high speed that she reached the place above the holy cyan cloud in a blink of an eye. “Movement One of Ethereal Swordplay, Splitting Clouds and Sky,” she shouted.

A glow of luscious bright light appeared around the white Holy Sword as the full power of the Holy Weapon manifested. The sword waved in the void space, creating a ten-meter long stream of sword Qi that tore through the air.

“Swoosh!”

The sword Qi was like a river flowing in heaven. The air currents clashed with each other as the sword Qi collided with cyan cloud Holy Qi.

The impact from the violent collision almost pushed the evil cultivators into the air.

“Who on earth is this person who was strong enough to stand up to Cyan-robed Emissary’s Green Cloud Saint Being? Could he be an assistant employed by Great Guardian?”

As Shi Buchou lifted his eyes to gaze at Mu Lingxi, he suddenly felt awe towards her.

No one knew better than him how formidable Cyan-robed Emissary was. When he was fighting her a moment ago, he could feel an unstoppable pressure coming from her.

Mu Lingxi was almost on par with Cyan-robed Emissary, that was how powerful she was.

Cyan-robed Emissary was not prepared for any more surprises, so when a female masked master suddenly appeared, she was shocked.

Who was this young female monk from the Eastern Region who was able to stand up to her?

All of a sudden, Cyan-robed Emissary came to a realization, she said coldly, “I see, it’s Your Highness, Saintess. I was wondering since when did Eastern Evil Land have another excellent God’s favored daughter? You were not as powerful as the last time we fought.”

Mu Lingxi stood above the holy cyan cloud while laughing, she said, “You are such a fool! It was my intention to give in to you last time we fought.”

“Give in to me? You are too arrogant, Your Highness, Saintess. Now, I shouldn’t show you any mercy.”

Cyan-robe Emissary turned somber and changed her stance. She positioned her cyan Holy Sword in front of her and shifted her body to form a pillar of light that shot up high into the air.

“Sword One.”

The pillar of cyan light emanated great penetration force, piercing through the long stream of sword Qi and moving towards Mu Lingxi.

Zhang Ruochen’s had a look of surprise in his eyes. He had flipped through a book written by someone who had experienced Sword One. Even though he didn’t have a strong grasp of Sword One, he could understand some of the mystery regarding the Tao of the sword.

Hence he could immediately recognize that it was Sword One as soon as Cyan-robed Emissary wielded her first sword move.

According to Sword Saint Xuanji, among those who had reached the Fish-Dragon Realm, only thirty-four people were able to complete the Sword One cultivation.

Although the Sword One move wielded by Cyan-robed Emissary was far from the realm of Completion, it was still extremely powerful. Coupled with the fact that she was a Green Cloud Saint Being, she emanated unparallel penetrating power.

Even though Cyan-robed Emissary was a Saintly Being, Mu Lingxi was a rare talent, and they were both at the peak of the same realm. However, Cyan-robed Emissary was at least fifteen years older than Mu Lingxi.

There was an age difference between the two of them.

For monsters who are over a few hundred years old, fifteen years of age difference would not amount to anything. However, an age gap of fifteen years between two young monks was significant, so a natural talent would not help much in a battle.

Would Mu Lingxi be able to withstand Cyan-robed Emissary’s Sword One?

“Given a fair circumstance, Cyan-robed Emissary would be far more powerful than Hunter.”

Zhang Ruochen secretly began to condense spells so he could rescue Mu Lingxi in case she falls into danger.

Mu Lingxi appeared composed as she smiled and said, “Green Cloud Saint Being is indeed extraordinary, having practiced Sword One and reaching its fourth level realm. No wonder why she became one of the Seven Kills Emissary. She is not bad at all. Despite all of that, I am a Saintly Being too, and one who is much more powerful than you.”

Mu Lingxi began running Vast Universe Game and the Genuine Qi in her Meridians began flowing too. Between her brows, a Phoenix mark, like a bright flame, appeared and started absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi vigorously.

Icing air emanated from her body, forming a gigantic illusory image of an Ice Phoenix. The Ice Phoenix spread out its wings and dove with great speed.

“Crash! Crash!”

The appearance of the Ice Phoenix caused an icy current to form, freezing a large area of the Quicksand Canyon. A thick layer of ice formed at the bottom of the valley as well as on the walls surrounding it.

The evil cultivators at the bottom of the valley lifted their gaze and were stunned to see a gigantic ancient ice phoenix colliding with a holy cyan cloud. The collision generated waves after waves of powerful energy, shaking the earth.

“That is … the ancient Holy Body of the Ice Phoenix. Legend has it that the power emanated by an ancient phoenix is a whole level higher than that of Green Cloud Saint Being,” Shi Buchou widened his eyes as he realized the reason Mu Lingxi was able to fight against Cyan-robed Emissary was Mu Lingxi’s monstrous physical quality.

Zhang Ruochen was lost in his thoughts. After watching the battle a while ago, he gauged Mu Lingxi’s level of cultivation to be at the peak of the Fifth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.

Even if the Ancient Holy Body of the Ice Phoenix was formidable, Zhang Ruochen still did not believe Mu Lingxi could match up to Cyan-robed Emissary, who had reached the Seventh Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.

Unless… unless Mu Lingxi had once reached the Ultimate Realm in a different realm of space and time.

At the thought of this, Zhang Ruochen broke into a smile as he realized his understanding of senior sister apprentice Duanmu was only the tip of the iceberg.

“This is the right time to kill Cyan-robed Emissary. Di Yi’s strength will be weakened greatly once she is annihilated.”

The Red Wish Emissary stopped hesitating. She grabbed the holy crystal staff, released the Spiritual Power and wielded a Level One Magic Art.

“Raging Storm.”

A vortex of swirling wind appeared, surrounding Red Wish Emissary and bringing her up in a whirlwind into the air.

Moments later, the two-man battle turned into a battle between Red Wish Emissary, Mu Lingxi and Cyan-robed Emissary.

The fight between three beautiful women with exquisite figures created a magnificent image, depicting grace and elegance with their every move.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. He had no desire to get involved.

It was better for the women to resolve the issue between themselves.

Moreover, Red Wish Emissary’s sorcery and Mu Lingxi’s Ancient Holy Body of the Ice Phoenix was each comparable to Cyan-robed Emissary’s capabilities. If they joined forces, it would put Cyan-robed Emissary at a disadvantage.

It was only a matter of time before Cyan-robed Emissary would be defeated.

Zhang Ruochen was not interested in watching the fight, so he flew downwards to the bottom of the Quicksand Canyon and suspended himself mid-air, three feet above the ground.

“Greetings, Great Guardian.”

All the evil cultivators there saluted respectfully to Zhang Ruochen. Among them were Shi Buchou and Xu Hong, who had reached the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.

Zhang Ruochen’s capabilities had earned their recognition and affirmation.

“There is no need for pleasantries, the battle is not over yet.”

Zhang Ruochen, who was holding the Thunder Pearl, looked intently at the Glazed Knight Commander in Chief and the seven Glazed Knights on the opposite side of the valley. His gaze landed on the Glazed Knight Commander in Chief. He raised his voice and said, “The outcome of the battle is clear. Cyan-robed Emissary will be defeated. Do you still want to continue fighting?”

Glazed Knight Commander in Chief, Zhao Hanhu looked at Zhang Ruochen with cold eyes and said, “You are indeed strong and powerful. However, there is still a considerable gap between you and the young master.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “But where is your young master now?”

Zhao Hanhu snorted and but did not answer.

“That’s very stubborn of you, Zhao Hanhu. Looks like I have to finish you myself.”

Xu Hong, the Master of the Blood Cloud Sect started striding forward. With immense power, he wielded one of the moves of the Landslide Palm by fiercely punching his palm towards Zhao Hanhu.

Every stride Xu Hong took emanated earth-shattering power that shook the entire valley.

“Swoosh!”

Zhao Hanhu pulled out the long spear from the yellow sand. He mobilized Genuine Qi from all around his body and released it through his palm. The Genuine Qi exited his palm and wrapped around the long spear.

The long metal spear in Zhao Hanhu’s hand was the size of the rim of a bowl. It was covered with a layer of grey light and looked like a steel dragon. The spear was quickly thrust forward.

Both Xu Hong and Zhao Hanhu were both well-known evil big shots with cultivation level of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. Their confrontation with each other produced a destructive power, so immense, that it forced the surrounding spectators to retreat.

“The monks of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm are indeed very capable. Each move they make carries with it the power to shatter the earth,” Zhang Ruochen said in his heart.

The reason Zhang Ruochen managed to injure Hunter easily was mainly because he was wearing Shooting Star Invisible Cloak. The cloak enhanced his speed, allowing him to have an upper hand over Hunter.

Hunter did not expect a Master of Spiritual Power to move at such speed. He was severely injured and lost his consciousness before he had time to react.

On the other hand, if Zhang Ruochen were to fight against superiors of the older generation, such as Xu Hong and Zhao Hanhu, it would not be so easy to defeat them.

Of the others who were present, another person who had reached the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm was Shi Buchou.

While Xu Hong and Zhao Hanhu were fighting against each other, Shi Buchou had to traverse through the area where they were fighting, to attack the seven other Glazed Knights from a different corner.

The seven Glazed Knights were exceptionally strong too. They stood in the formation of the Combined Attack of ‘Seven Stars Surrounding the Moon’ and their combined effort was comparable to Shi Buchou’s strength.

There were three battles going on, but no one could tell who was winning.

Time was ticking. An hour later, the battle between Shi Buchou and the seven Glazed Knights finally ended.

The Combined Attack of the seven Glazed Knights was powerful, but it was not strong enough to combat the attack of one evil big shot of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.

Eventually, all seven Glazed knights were defeated and they collapsed in pools of blood with their dead bodies littered all over the ground.

Soon after, the winner of the battle in the sky emerged.

Red Wish Emissary and Mu Lingxi’s joint attack was able to wound Cyan-robed emissary, who, being severely injured, fell from the sky.

However, while falling, Cyan-robed Emissary took out a shining scroll of the imperial edict. From the scroll, she garnered Saint Power to transform herself into a ray of moving green light. In her new form, she penetrated through the clouds and escaped into the horizon.

Cyan-robed Emissary’s voice of bitterness rang from afar. “Demonic Saintess, Ye Honglei, I shall not forget the rancor between us today. I will tear you to pieces the next time we meet.”

Cyan-robed Emissary suffered a great set back because of this battle. Not only were all the evil masters defeated, but even she was also severely wounded. What a humiliation!

Since Cyan-robed Emissary lost the battle, and there was no way to return to heaven, all she could do was flee.

“I will catch you next time.”

The Red Wish Emissary snorted as she and Mu Lingxi descended from the sky and landed on the bottom of Quicksand Canyon.
