Chapter 543 - Super Heaven-grade

Chapter 543: Super Heaven-grade

Zuo Yushu had severed her Golden Lotus and was re-cultivating. Naturally, she was not a match for the Eight-leaf Su Sheng. The Four-leaf Zuo Yushu had done well to be able to exchange several blows this far. If Su Sheng attacked with his full strength, he could have easily killed a Four-leaf cultivator with a single strike.

Su Sheng summoned his 100-foot avatar that towered above everyone. An Eight-leaf Golden Lotus spun under its feet. He was convinced Zuo Yushu’s cultivation base was not what it used to be.

Zuo Yushu took several steps backward and tossed the Coiling Dragon Staff in the air. A huge circle emerged under her feet. Script seals arranged themselves neatly as they shone with golden light.

Su Sheng was perplexed. “An enhancement Formation… but you won’t be affected…”

Suddenly, a voice rang from behind Zuo Yushu. “Young man, you’re too green!”

Whizz!

A huge gourd bottle energy seal passed through Zuo Yushu’s Formation as it grew in size.

Pan Litian shot toward them. He sent his golden gourd bottle energy seal crashing toward his opponents head-on.

Boom!

The golden gourd bottle energy seal hit the 100-foot tall avatar, stirring up a gust of violent air.

A shocked expression appeared on Su Sheng’s face as he reeled back from the huge impact with his avatar.

Bam!

A loud explosion sounded as Su Sheng collided with the inner wall of the barrier.

Pan Litian hovered in the air as the golden gourd bottle spun around him. His eyes were trained on Su Sheng. “I know barriers can’t keep Confucian elites like you who are masters of Formations. In that case, we’ll let you in… This move is called: to close the door and hit the dog!”

Su Sheng had gone to much trouble before he finally entered the barrier. However, now that he had entered, would he be able to get out? Just how much Primal Qi would he waste by traveling back and forth?

Su Sheng stabilized his avatar as he looked at Pan Litian. He now understood why Zuo Yushu had activated her Formation. He would not allow himself, one of the eight great generals, to be humiliated like this. He joined his palms together and cried out, “In that case, don’t blame me for what happens next!”

Su Sheng’s 100-foot avatar flew out.

Upon seeing this, Pan Litian retreated.

At this moment, the Six Compatible Seal appeared behind Zuo Yushu. Five scripts surrounded the largest script as they spun.

Hua Wudao flew toward them and landed on Zuo Yushu’s Formation. The five scripts immediately turned into nine scripts.

Boom!

Su Sheng’s Golden Lotus avatar collided with the Six Compatible Seal.

With this opening, Pan Litian unleashed his golden gourd bottle energy seal at the avatar.

“I see…” Su Sheng shouted, “Expansive Heavenly Energy!”

With Su Sheng in the center, his surging Primal Qi rippled out into the surroundings.

Bam!

Pan Litian pulled the golden gourd bottle energy seal with a single hand before he tossed it.

A black shadow flitted past. Soon, the skies were filled with black figures.

Bam! Bam! Bam

In just a blink of an eye, countless footprints hit the golden gourd bottle energy seal. With the extra push, the golden gourd bottle energy seal pierced through Su Sheng’s energy and landed on the avatar.

Boom!

Su Sheng reeled back with his avatar.

The black figure belonged to the Evil Sky Pavilion’s elder, Leng Luo.

At this moment, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s four elders hovered in the air.

After Su Sheng stabilized his footing, he looked at the four elders in shock. He retracted his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar and flipped backward, leaving the barrier.

Pan Litian clenched his hand and recalled his golden gourd bottle.

Su Sheng’s gaze was complicated as he looked at the four elders. He felt resentful. “The Evil Sky Pavilion’s four elders?”

“Young man, the Evil Sky Pavilion isn’t a place where you can behave as you pleased.”

Su Sheng said, “Alas… this only reveals your cultivation bases haven’t been restored. I was careless earlier, but I won’t make the same mistake twice. Let’s kick this up a notch.” As he spoke, he looked at the box behind Liu Ge, Emperor Yong Shou.

Liu Ge was the source of Su Sheng’s confidence. He closed his eyes. The turbulent wind around him finally calmed down. After inhaling once, he opened his eyes again.

Whizz!

A 100-foot avatar appeared again. Chain-like talisman seals appeared around the avatar. The seals formed a single line that spun around the avatar.

Pan Litian said, “Elders, what do you say?”

Zuo Yushu, Leng Luo, and Hua Wudao nodded at the same time.

“Naturally, we fight!”

Mingshi Yin was filled with emotions. He said, “As expected of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s elders! This is too awesome! I’d like to see how the elders are going to deal with an Eight-leaf cultivator!”

“Now!” Pan Litian said gruffly.

As soon as Pan Litian finished speaking, apart from Hua Wudao who had advanced several meters, the other three elders turn-tailed and fled back toward the Evil Sky Pavilion. They vanished in just an instant.

Hua Wudao. “???”

Mingshi Yin. “???”

How could they bully an honest person like this?

‘Is this how you old farts deal with an Eight-leaf cultivator?’

Hua Wudao hastily fled as well.

Su Sheng was perplexed. ‘Why did they run away?’

It was taxing to maintain a 100-foot avatar so he quickly retracted it by clenching his hand. He turned around and said, “Your Majesty, I’d like to break this Formation. Kindly give the decree.”

Liu Ge shook his head and said, “We shouldn’t be rude.”

“Understood.”

The barrier was like a door. For masters of Formations, barriers could hardly impede them. Even cultivators such as the Five Mice of Upper Prime City could tamper with the Formation veins through unique means and bypass the barrier. Back then, Pan Litian had lost his cultivation base, and yet, he made it through the barrier with his gourd bottle. If the person did not understand Formations, they could only forcibly break it like what the ten great sects did. However, against such a barrier, it was better to use brains than brawn.

Whoosh!

An energy arrow sailed toward them at this moment.

Su Sheng frowned slightly. He raised his palm and deflected the energy arrow. He saw Hua Yuexing standing atop the southern pavilion. She was pulling on a more powerful energy arrow. “Sneak attack? Is everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion despicable?”

Su Sheng rose into the air and struck with his palms several times. A few talisman seals shot out.

Hua Yuexing’s expression changed slightly as she pulled on her bowstring.

“Miss Yuexing, fall back!” Mingshi Yin rose into the air and flew toward the Evil Sky Pavilion at lightning speed.

Hua Yuexing was not a match for an Eight-leaf opponent. Even the four elders had fled.

“You can’t run away.” Su Sheng’s talisman seals were just a hair’s breadth away from the barrier.

At this moment, a black umbrella shot toward them from the side.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The black umbrella opened and blocked the talisman seals as it spun in the air.

“Hm?” Su Sheng looked up.

An old cultivator dressed in long robes flew toward them at blinding speed. His grand technique flashed a few times before he finally landed on top of the umbrella.

“Huang Shijie?” Su Sheng recognized the old man. He was none other than Huang Shijie, the Master of Penglai Island Master.

Huang Shijie, “How can I be excluded from such a lively occasion?”

Gu Yiran looked up fiercely. He pushed away from the ground and shot up like a fired arrow. He joined his palms together and closed his fingers as he shot toward Huang Shijie. “Huang Shijie, you’re my opponent!”

Huang Shijie looked over. ‘Another Eight-leaf cultivator?’ He raised a hand; a huge palm seal appeared in front of him.

Bam!

“Abandon Wisdom!”

The palm seal collided with Abandon Wisdom, stirring up the wind.

The two of them flew into the distance at the same time.

Huang Shijie kept a palm in front of himself. Then, he raised his left hand.

Bam!

Huang Shijie sent his opponent retreating with a single strike.

The two of them looked at each other from a distance.

This Abandon Wisdom had widened Huang Shijie’s horizons as well.

Gu Yiran rose into the air after he stabilized himself and said, “Since when did Penglai Island ally itself with the Evil Sky Pavilion?”

“I’m old friends with Brother Ji. His problems are my problems as well.”

“Huang Shijie, are you really going to meddle in this?” Gu Yiran asked.

“So long as I’m here… Nobody is allowed to touch the Evil Sky Pavilion!” Huang Shijie looked at Su Sheng who was hovering at the back. Then, he looked at the Evil Sky Pavilion within the barrier as he called up his Primal Qi. The black umbrella flew back into his hand, and he flipped his left palm. With this, countless afterimages of him and the umbrella filled the air as the black umbrella shot out countless energy seals.

Gu Yiran shouted, “Hundred Tribulations Insight!”

Su Sheng summoned his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar as well.

The two avatars shot past the energy seals in the skies at the same time, leaving energy ripples in their wake.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Both sides were engaged in a fierce battle.

Liu Ge who was prepared to enter the barrier looked at the fight with great interest.

The skies were already filled with the trio’s silhouettes.

This battle was of a much higher level compared to the battles that happened near Golden Court Mountain in the past.

“Huang Shijie is helping the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Liu Ge stood with his hands on his back as he looked at the fight.

An imperial bodyguard walked over. “Shall we head up, Your Majesty?”

“There’s no rush.” Liu Ge watched the battle.

Huang Shijie, Su Sheng, and Gu Yiran fought for dozens of rounds, and yet, there was no victor.

Liu Ge looked at the sun again and calmly said, “Open the box.”

“Understood.”

Two Imperial bodyguards opened the first box.

Clack!

A sword with red veins was revealed.

The Imperial bodyguards were staring at the sword with widened eyes.

Liu Ge opened his hand, and the sword flew into his hand. “This sword’s name is High Void, a super heaven-grade weapon…”

Liu Ge no longer offered any explanation. The words ‘super heaven-grade’ was more than enough to show how extraordinary the sword was.

The two imperial bodyguards shuddered. They bowed and said, “Your Majesty’s might knows no bounds!”

Liu Ge looked at the three opponents fighting in the air. He held High Void in his hand as he rose into the sky…
