Tongtian Arrives, One Against Two, Slaying Dao Corpses

Sword Qi effortlessly sliced through the mana defenses and struck the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree and the Twelfth-Grade Meritorious Golden Lotus.

The lingering force raged on. Lu Chen reached out to shield the little white tiger beside him. With Tongtian deliberately keeping it under control, the aftershock did not fall upon him.

It was only a pity for the earth veins Lu Chen had just sorted out; under the Sword Qi, they were instantly destroyed, leaving a complete mess.

Tongtian landed beside Lu Chen. Seeing that Lu Chen was unharmed, the worry he had been holding in his heart finally settled.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, we merely wished to thank our martial nephew. We bore no ill intent."

As the azure Sword Qi vanished, Zhunti looked at the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree in his hand, its precious radiance diminished. The bitterness on his face deepened, and his voice carried a trace of grief and indignation, though inwardly he was secretly shocked.

If someone unaware of the cause saw this scene, they would surely rely on their own impressions and place Zhunti among the weak and oppressed.

After all, throughout the entire Primordial World, who could surpass Zhunti when it came to playing the victim?

"Hmph. Do you truly think I know nothing of what you two have done?"

Tongtian directly summoned the Green Duckweed Sword into his grasp. That earlier Sword Qi had merely been a casual strike from him. He gave a cold snort.

"Since you wished to bully the weak with your strength, you must pay the price!"

Another streak of Sword Qi slashed out.

This Sword Qi revealed its sharp edge, its piercing force bearing down on all around it. At a glance, one could tell the vast difference between it and the previous Sword Qi.

Seeing another streak of Sword Qi coming, Jieyin sat atop the Twelfth-Grade Meritorious Golden Lotus, with the Azure Treasure Lotus Banner suspended above his head, while Zhunti flashed and appeared behind Jieyin.

His magic treasures were not suited for defense.

That earlier strike had already damaged his Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree. This sword carried even greater force, and he could not bear to use the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree to block it again. If it were cut apart, repairing it would cost him a great number of treasures. That would undoubtedly make the already barren Western lands even worse, adding frost to snow. At that point, he truly would have to weep.

Bang!

The Sword Qi struck the double halo shield formed by the Golden Lotus and Azure Treasure Lotus Banner, producing a crisp clang.

Sword Qi and halos intertwined and clashed, advancing and retreating against one another without yielding an inch.

For one step back meant losing the entire game.

Jieyin secretly groaned in his heart.

A single streak of Sword Qi unleashed by the Green Duckweed Sword was already so difficult to withstand. If Tongtian charged in with sword in hand, how could they possibly contend with him?

Tongtian stepped forward with the Green Duckweed Sword in hand and slashed down. The halo shield woven from golden and azure light was like paper mache, shattering in an instant.

Jieyin's expression changed. He gave a muffled grunt, and a faint streak of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, my brother and I know our mistake in this matter. For the sake of our shared lineage under Dao Ancestor, could you please stop here?"

What answered Jieyin was Tongtian's Green Duckweed Sword. "Take a sword from this Daoist!"

Seeing that Tongtian refused to let the matter rest, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and directly summoned their Three Corpses.

Although Jieyin and Zhunti lacked magic treasures, their cultivation was not weak. They had likewise severed two corpses and entered the Mid-Quasi-Saint realm.

Counting the two corpses, six of them attacked Tongtian together.

Yet Tongtian held the Green Duckweed Sword in one hand, Sword Qi circling around his body, impervious to all techniques. The Good Corpses and Evil Corpses found it incomparably difficult even to approach him.

Zhunti wielded the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree, seeking to brush away the Green Duckweed Sword in Tongtian's hand. But how could the current Green Duckweed Sword be something he could shake?

"A Primordial Supreme Treasure!"

Zhunti stared at the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree in his hand and cried out in shock.

Hearing this, Jieyin was equally astonished, though he also understood at once. No wonder the double defense of his Twelfth-Grade Golden Lotus and Azure Treasure Lotus Banner had been so easily shattered by Tongtian. The Green Duckweed Sword had already left the ranks of top-grade innate spirit treasures and become a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

But he had no mind to consider what method Tongtian had used to elevate his magic treasure into a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

Tongtian had already raised his sword and come at them again.

So this was the might of a Primordial Golden Immortal!

Watching Tongtian force Jieyin to bring out all his treasures with just one streak of Sword Qi, suppressing six people alone, a trace of shock appeared on Lu Chen's face.

He had always known that Primordial Golden Immortals were stronger than Quasi-Saints of the same realm, but this was not merely a little stronger!

Because Tongtian had taken the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal, he had attained the Dao much later than Zhunti and Jieyin, and his cultivation was slightly lacking. Yet with the sword in his hand, he could still suppress the two of them.

Of course, part of the reason was that Zhunti and Jieyin were too poor and possessed too few magic treasures.

"Master, slay the Good and Evil Corpses first!"

Seeing that Tongtian was only focusing on hacking at Jieyin and Zhunti's true bodies, Lu Chen transmitted a reminder.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice transmission, Tongtian turned his blade and directly slashed toward the nearest one.

Splat.

A drop of golden blood fell from the sword tip. A kindly-looking Daoist with a sallow face had a bloody line emerge down the center of his body, which toppled separately to either side. Pale golden blood spilled onto the earth, transforming into spiritual energy, and a hint of tender green quietly emerged from the ground.

Pfft!

Zhunti sprayed a mist of blood from his mouth. His face became like golden paper, and his aura instantly withered. With reddened eyes, he roared furiously.

"Tongtian! You actually destroyed my Dao foundation!"

"I have slain it, so I have slain it. Today, I will slay you as well!"

Tongtian flicked his sword in a flourish, shaking the blood from its tip, his tone casual.

Buzz!

A sword cry rang out, and four more swords appeared above Tongtian's head.

"The Executioner Immortal Sword Formation!"

"Tongtian, are you truly determined to fight to the death?"

Jieyin's face instantly darkened as he looked at the four swords suspended above Tongtian's head.

"Fight to the death? Are you worthy?"

Tongtian sneered. With the Green Duckweed Sword in hand and the Four Swords of Execution standing at his side, he charged toward Jieyin.

Perhaps he would once have cared about the so-called bond between fellow disciples, but now he was Tongtian the decisively murderous.

Lu Chen had said before that these two would become his great enemies. He had not believed it then, but the two had likewise been accepted by Dao Ancestor as nominal disciples and granted Primordial Chaos Purple Qi. In the future, they could become Saints.

He admitted that if the two truly became Saints, they would indeed be qualified to become his great enemies. Thus, he had come. From the very beginning, he had intended to seize this opportunity to slay them both.

Their coercion of Lu Chen had also conveniently given him an excuse to act.

Feeling the killing intent in Tongtian's eyes, both Zhunti and Jieyin fell silent, roaring inwardly.

How could he truly slaughter his fellow disciples? Was he not afraid of Dao Ancestor's punishment?

Yet Dao Ancestor was not here. Only the two brothers, Lu Chen, and Tongtian were present.

A Quasi-Saint body might be stronger than that of a Great Luo, but it was not invincible. Moreover, the Six-Zhang Golden Body had yet to be created, and Jieyin and Zhunti had not developed any body-tempering cultivation method.

Their physical strength was no different from that of ordinary Quasi-Saints. Under Tongtian's incomparably fierce Sword Qi, Jieyin and Zhunti's bodies were slashed until they were covered in wounds, their golden light dim, their blood flowing freely.

If their true bodies were like this, there was even less need to mention their Dao Corpses. Sword marks cut to the bone, while Sword Qi raged within the wounds, preventing them from healing.

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti were caught in endless conflict.

If one corpse was slain, there was still a chance to restore it. But if both corpses were completely slain, their Great Dao would be severed from then on. They might even fall from the rank of Quasi-Saint.

But if they recalled their Dao Corpses, they would not be able to withstand Tongtian's attacks either!

"Dao Ancestor above, Tongtian is slaughtering his fellow disciples. I beg Teacher to render judgment!"
