Secret Art: God Strike (Part Two)

Tens of thousands of Cultivators, led by the Qingxu Sword Sect, Weituo Temple, and Tiandao Sect, along with other cultivation families and Small Sect, gathered at the Ancient Qin Battlefield. At this moment, the leaders of these forces were arguing noisily in their tents.

"What are you people from the Shadow Palace doing hiding in the shadows? Didn't we agree to assassinate the Asura Sect Disciples?"

"What? Didn't you see that almost everyone from our Shadow Palace is dead? How dare you criticize us? Actually, it was Tianxiang Valley that didn't contribute at all."

"Our Tianxiang Valley takes medical techniques as its cultivation principle, so naturally we are responsible for treatment. What are your true intentions in wanting my Tianxiang Valley disciples to charge into battle?"

Although the Alliance formed by these forces was quite capable, it was precisely because it was a combination of many forces that it was noisy, with each side holding its own opinions and even blaming each other for their performance in battle. In the end, the representatives of these forces even rolled up their sleeves, ready to stage a full-blown brawl.

"Enough! Shut up!" Seeing the commotion inside the tent, the three representatives of the Medium Sect sitting at the head of the group frowned. Finally, the Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator, led by the Qingxu Sword Sect, couldn't help but shout angrily.

The sharp Sword Intent swept across, Deity Transformation stage erupted, like the Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering and the earth splitting, instantly silencing the entire camp.

Everyone watched as the Nascent Deity Transformation Sword Cultivator from the Qingxu Sword Sect became enraged, and dared not utter another word. On the Battlefield, two experts from the Qingxu Sword Sect's Dragon Phoenix Ranking had been killed, and everyone knew that this was precisely the time when the Qingxu Sword Sect was burning with anger. It was best not to provoke them.

"In today's battle, two powerful figures from the Asura Sect appeared. Why were only Zhou Tai and Wu Xuefei from my Qingxu Sword Sect able to intervene? Master Ku Mu, True Man Qing Feng, I demand an explanation from you."

After surveying the surroundings, his sharp gaze silenced the representatives of these smaller forces, who dared not utter a sound. Then, the Nascent Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator from the Qingxu Sword Sect fixed his cold eyes on Master Ku Mu of Weituo Temple and True Man Qing Feng of the Tiandao Sect, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Amitābha Buddha. Benefactor Mingjian, we only knew that Li Ying was quite strong, but we didn't expect that the other disciple was also so powerful. Therefore, seeing that your sect's Zhou Tai and Wu Xuefei were working together, we assumed that nothing would happen, so we didn't help. But we never expected such an outcome..." Master Ku Mu bowed, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and replied.

"Oh? So Master Ku Mu means that Zhou Tai and Wu Xuefei of my Qingxu Sword Sect were not skilled enough and deserved to die?" The True Man Ming Jian of the Qingxu Sword Sect asked, his eyes flashing with cold light as he suppressed his anger.

Master Ku Mu's meaning was clear: Li Ying was only ranked twenty-sixth on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking, while Zhou Tai was twenty-fifth. With Wu Xuefei's assistance, we were certain nothing would go wrong, which is why we didn't intervene. Who knew your disciple would die in battle? No one can be blamed. With such an answer, it's no wonder True Man Ming Jian was furious.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Nobody wanted this to happen. Now is not the time to blame each other. The key is to see how to arrange the upcoming war. Only by uniting our forces and working together can we defeat the Asura Sect. Otherwise, if we are not united, what right do we have to fight the Asura Sect?"

Seeing that True Man Ming Jian was on the verge of exploding, True Man Qing Feng from the Tiandao Sect hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over.

True Man Qing Feng's words made sense. The Asura Sect was already powerful, and only by uniting all forces could they barely contend with it. If they were to fight amongst themselves, then the battle would have to end there, and they could simply admit defeat.

If we win the battle, our share of resources in Yanling Commandery will naturally increase. However, if we lose, we might not even be able to keep our current share. Therefore, no matter what, for the sake of the Sect's development, we must win this battle.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his anger, True Man Ming Jian coldly glanced at Master Ku Mu and True Man Qing Feng, and said, "I won't argue about this matter anymore, but no matter what, don't expect me to send my Elite to fight in the next battle. The next battle will be yours."

True Man Qing Feng and Master Ku Mu exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. They knew it was not advisable to push True Man Ming Jian too far, and besides, the Qingxu Sword Sect had lost two Dragon Phoenix Ranking experts. They also knew that in the upcoming battle, they should send their own elites to fight.

Seeing that Master Ku Mu and True Man Qing Feng had agreed, True Man Ming Jian's expression softened slightly. He then fell silent and listened as they laid out their tactics.

"Li Ying's strength is still within expectations, but the male disciple who killed Wu Xuefei needs to be investigated thoroughly. At less than twenty years old, to possess such cultivation, he should have some reputation."

True Man Qing Feng began to speak, saying that as the initial probing battle ended, the Tiandao Sect had already dispatched intelligence personnel to investigate the other party's identity.

"Amitābha Buddha, we know Li Ying's background and she's relatively easy to deal with, so we'll leave her to your sect. As for the male disciple who killed Wu Xuefei, we don't know his strength, so we'll leave him to our Weituo Temple. If these two aren't eliminated, they will surely become a major threat in the future battles..."

As True Man Qing Feng finished speaking, Master Ku Mu of Weituo Temple spoke up, saying that both Zhuge Xiang and Li Ying's battles today were impressive, but compared to Li Ying, Zhuge Xiang's actual combat strength was slightly weaker. Therefore, Master Ku Mu hurriedly offered to take on Zhuge Xiang as his opponent.

True Man Qing Feng frowned slightly. Master Ku Mu's words sounded nice: leave the unknown target to him, and the well-known Li Ying to himself. But it was obvious to everyone that Li Ying was stronger. True Man Qing Feng cursed inwardly at Master Ku Mu's words, "Thief, thief! He's not thief if he's not bald."

However, at that moment, a disciple dressed in a blue robe suddenly entered the tent. He was an intelligence agent sent out by the Tiandao Sect to investigate. After whispering a few words in True Man Qing Feng's ear, the disciple quickly withdrew.

True Man Qing Feng frowned, but then a smile appeared on his face when he looked at Master Ku Mu. He said, "Master Ku Mu is absolutely right. Taking on such a powerful opponent is truly the mark of a virtuous monk. His noble character and integrity are admirable."

Upon True Man Qing Feng's words, Master Ku Mu instinctively sensed something was amiss. He cautiously observed the other party and asked in a low voice, "Judging from your appearance, your Tiandao Sect Master Ku Mu found information about the person who killed Wu Xuefei's disciple? Who is he?"

A smug smile played on True Man Qing Feng's lips.

"Zhuge Xiang!" (To be continued...)
