LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 324.1
At this time, from the depths of the Taoist Sect, a sharp sword flew out and landed in the hands of the Yuxu Taoist Master.
With this sword, he was like a tiger with wings added, immediately turning the tide and fighting Mo Yuyan to a standstill.
Without a doubt, this sword was a divine sword, with the support of a senior from the Taoist Sect in secret.
“Uncle Master, that’s the way to fight!”
“I knew it, our Uncle Master wouldn’t lose!”
“That woman was just relying on the advantage of her weapon, but now our Uncle Master also has a divine weapon. We’re not afraid of her!”
“Uncle Master, you will win! Uncle Master, defeat that woman!”
The young disciples of the Taoist Sect began to cheer excitedly.
Yuming Taoist Master smiled, “Fellow Daoist, do you still believe my junior brother will lose?”
The Sword Elder remained calm, “Of course!”“Then let’s wait and see!”
In the blink of an eye, a thousand moves passed, and the two masters used all sorts of techniques and secret skills, reaching the most intense state of the battle.
This was Mo Yuyan’s first battle since entering the realm of Grandmaster, and it was also her most pinnacle fight!
Compared to Yuxu Taoist Master, she was younger and of a lower level. Even if she lost, it wouldn’t matter much, so she had no burden on her mind.
She could fight with all her might, growing stronger as the battle progressed, able to exert 120% of her strength!
But it was different for Yuxu Taoist Master.
He was a senior figure, and it wouldn’t look good for him to lose to a junior.
Moreover, he was one of the faces of the Taoist Sect.
Being challenged at his own doorstep, if he lost, it would be a disgrace to the entire Taoist Sect, and he would be ridiculed by everyone under the heavens.
Therefore, he could not afford to lose.
Thus, he carried a heavy burden in his heart, which inevitably made him fight with some restraint.
Even with all his might, he could only exert 90% of his strength.
As one gained the upper hand and the other fell behind, Yuxu Taoist Master gradually found himself outmatched by Mo Yuyan.
“Daybreak Sword!”
Mo Yuyan once again unleashed her unique skill.
That sword, hidden in the shadows, suddenly thrust before Yuxu Taoist Master, like a red sun piercing through the darkness before dawn, bringing with it a destructive force.
Yuxu Taoist Master managed to block it in a hurry, but it aggravated his injuries, adding injury to injury.
His strength was nearly spent, his face flushed red, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Mo Yuyan pressed her advantage.
“Rising Sun Sword!”
This strike was as blazing as the midday sun, carrying with it an overbearing and masculine energy, slashing down fiercely.
Yuxu Taoist Master once again blocked in haste.
Affected by this masculine energy, the injuries within his body could no longer be suppressed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Mo Yuyan did not give her opponent a chance to relax, continuing to deploy her unique skills to widen her advantage.
“Sky-Opening Sword!”
One sword strike followed another, each more domineering and ferocious than the last!
Yuxu Taoist Master was overwhelmed, vomiting blood while trying to defend, and his situation was dire.
“Uncle Master!” the Taoists called out with concern.
“Silence! Your Uncle Master is fighting with all his might. Do not distract him, do not disturb him!” Yuming Taoist Master said sternly.
Everyone finally quieted down, but their faces were still filled with worry.
Sword Elder said leisurely with a smile, “Fellow Daoist, was I not right? Your junior brother is bound to be defeated!”
“Do not jump to conclusions. The outcome has not yet been decided!” Yuming Taoist Master stubbornly retorted.
“In my opinion, within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the result of this battle will naturally reveal itself!” Sword Elder stroked his beard.
The time it took for an incense stick to burn quickly passed.
Just as Sword Elder had said, due to his injuries compounding, Yuxu Taoist Master’s condition rapidly deteriorated, and his strength was no longer sufficient.
In a clash, he was knocked to the ground by Mo Yuyan, all his limbs broken, and as he looked up at the descending sword, he had only one thought in his mind: My life is over!
But at that moment, the sword could not fall.
A gentle and aged voice came through, “Enough, he has already lost!”
Mo Yuyan sheathed her sword and looked at the old Taoist who had suddenly appeared before her, snorting, “Just because he lost, does that erase everything? You should know that he once struck me with a palm, nearly taking my life! If I hadn’t been so lucky, I would have been reduced to bones by now!”
The old Taoist before her was the Great Grandmaster of the Taoist Sect, known as Shenxu.
“When will the cycle of vengeance end?” Shenxu Taoist Master urged once again.
“The sage also told us, ‘Repay kindness with kindness, and grievance with justice!'” Mo Yuyan said in a cold tone.
The tension escalated once again.
At that moment, the Sword Elder erupted in anger: “Didn’t we just agree that this is a private grudge, and regardless of victory, defeat, life or death, outsiders are not to interfere? You Taoist Sect are truly a bunch of oath-breakers!”
The Taoist Sect priests were left speechless, hanging their heads in shame.
Only the Shenxu Taoist Master remained composed: “Indeed, we in the Taoist Sect have acted improperly! But Yuxu is one of our own, and his grudge with Lady Mo also arose because of the whole Taoist Sect. Therefore, we cannot simply stand by and watch him die!”
“So, you’re not afraid of offending our Great Xia?”
Sword Elder sneered. “The Taoist Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a transcendent power with a heritage of thousands of years, so arrogant that you do not take our Great Xia into consideration!”
“Fellow Sword Elder, you are too harsh. As the foremost great Empire of the present age, His Majesty of Great Xia wields the world’s number one divine sword, his might shaking the heavens. How could we in the Taoist Sect dare to disregard that? Let’s do this…”
The Shenxu Taoist Master produced a jade bottle and said, “Inside this bottle are our Taoist Sect’s unique divine pills—the Divine Dragon Bone Pills. There are three in total, each worth a life. As compensation, that should suffice, right?”
