Interception

Five days later, Huang Tao opened his eyes. By then, his injuries had almost healed, except that his severed arm could not regenerate.

If he still had his severed arm, he could have reattached it. But he had barely managed to escape, so he didn't have time to worry about his broken arm.

Huang Tao glanced at the severed wound with a gloomy expression, and murmured in a chilling tone, "Now that the wound is healed, should I go and seek revenge?"

"Shen Ge might have someone protecting him now, and if I go to kill him, I might just walk into a trap. But I won't be satisfied if I don't go. I've lost an arm, and I won't be able to vent my hatred until I grind Shen Ge to dust!"

"Moreover, Phoenix Kingdom is going through a turbulent period recently. The chaos is perfect for taking advantage of the situation, and it's not like there's no chance to kill him."

Huang Tao wanted Shen Ge dead not only because he almost met his end with him, but also because he had a premonition that if Shen Ge didn't die, he might die later. That's why he wanted to kill Shen Ge while he was still in the Foundation Establishment.

While we can still win now, otherwise there will be no way to defeat Shen Ge once he reaches the Golden Core Stage.

Although Huang Tao had many survival skills, he was very clear about his own position and never thought he was capable of going head-to-head with the genius disciples of those major sects.

For example, when facing Wang Yan, although the two were at the same level, Huang Tao couldn't beat her in a fight. Of course, if he wanted to run away, she couldn't kill him either.

"Alright, let's go back and lie low for now, look for an opportunity, and if we really can't find one, then we'll just give up."

Three hundred miles east of the Phoenix Kingdom, atop a secluded Qingshan mountain, a figure in red robes fluttered in the wind; a stunningly beautiful woman stood atop the peak.

"The Blood Devil Grotto only sent a few weaklings like you. What, are you afraid you won't be able to get back?"

Five people floated in the air, all dressed in blood-red robes: four men and one woman. The woman stood on her own two feet in the air, clearly a Golden Core Stage expert.

"If I remember correctly, you used to be a protector of the Devil Creek Sect, right? Your name was Zi Qi, wasn't it?" Su Liuyun looked at the woman in the lead and said calmly, "You were lucky back then, you escaped with your sect leader Li Yu, but I didn't expect you to dare come back to die."

Zi Qi looked at Su Liuyue on the mountaintop with a slightly solemn expression, but her tone was disdainful as she said, "Su Liuyue, Mo Qingyu's first personal disciple, to be honest, in my eyes you're just so-so. It took you over 150 years to achieve the Golden Core stage, what kind of genius are you? You're not even as good as me back then."

"Is that so?" Su Liuyue smiled faintly, flew into the air and looked at Zi Qi: "I'm in a hurry, so I won't chat with you any longer."

The Star Sword appeared in Su Liuyue's hand. With a gentle wave, a golden semi-circular Sword Qi slashed through the sky and hurtled towards Zi Qi at lightning speed. The Sword Qi was so fast that it was almost hitting Zi Qi as soon as it appeared.

Zi Qi was not incompetent, nor was she a weakling like Mo Shang who would run away at the first sign of trouble. She had the confidence to plot against the Golden Core elder of the Spirit Moon Sect without any Law Treasure.

She simply opened her delicate lips, and a beam of blood-red light obliterated the Sword Qi in front of her. Of course, she only obliterated the sword energy in front of her; she didn't care about the Sword Qi on either side.

The remaining Sword Qi ripped through the void, instantly turning all four Blood Devil Grotto disciples brought by Zi Qi into a bloody mist.

Zi Qi didn't care at all about the deaths of these disciples.

Zi Qi raised her hand and waved it, conjuring a slender, blood-red longsword. Several red ribbons fluttered behind her. She looked at Su Liuyue with disdain and said, "I've heard you Su Liuyue, are the strongest of this generation in the Spirit Moon Sect. Today, I'll test whether you truly are the strongest!"

With that, Zi Qi flicked her wrist, sending a crimson Sword Qi flying back. At the same time, the red ribbon behind her also lashed out like a serpent.

In terms of cultivation level, both were at the Middle Golden Core Stage. In terms of Law Treasure, Zi Qi's Dripping Blood Sword was no less powerful than Su Liuyue's Star Sword. Therefore, she had no reason to back down, much less to turn around and run away. Who was stronger and who was weaker would be known after the fight.

After Su Liuyue unleashed several Sword Qi, she raised her hand and pointed. A giant finger materialized in the air and pointed at Zi Qi, as if she wanted to crush her like an ant.

Zi Qi laughed angrily, "Su Liuyue, how dare you treat me like an ant? You have some nerve!"

Zi Qi raised her hand and slashed out with her sword. The blood-red Sword Qi, stronger and faster than before, went straight for the finger, slicing it in two.

"Go!"

Su Liuyue's Star Sword transformed into a streak of light and flew out of her hand, heading straight for Zi Qi.

Zi Qi snorted coldly and released her own Dripping Blood Sword, causing it to transform into a streak of blood light as it rushed forward.

Without their swords, the two stopped slashing at each other and instead began to exchange Law Technique.

Su Lingyue formed hand Hand Seals and summoned a golden rain of swords, with countless golden swords raining down on Zi Qi.

Zi Qi sneered, her hands Hand Seals. A layer of blood-red protective shield appeared in front of her, firmly protecting her. At the same time, a faint blood-red light emanated from her hands as she raised her hand and grabbed at Su Liuyue. A giant blood-red claw directly grabbed at Su Liuyue.

"Netherworld Blood Claw, you Devil Creek Sect really all like this, huh?"

Su Liuyue had suffered a loss from this move when she first reached the Golden Core Stage, so her expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon seeing it.

However, she is no longer the same person she used to be. The reason she suffered a loss back then was because she was weaker than her opponent and was suppressed. Therefore, this attack poses no threat to her at all.

Su Liuyue raised her hand, and a giant golden sword fell, pinning the bloody hand to the mountain peak. After struggling for a moment, the bloody giant hand disappeared along with the giant sword.

Zi Qi sneered, "Su Liuyue, you're not that strong after all. You even said you could kill me. Do all the people in your Spirit Moon Sect like to boast?"

Su Liuyue remained indifferent, ignoring Zi Qi. With a flick of her hands, a gigantic spirit wielding a giant sword slashed directly at Zi Qi, its momentum as immense as if the sky were collapsing.

"The Giant Spirit Divine General is nothing special."

Although Zi Qi spoke with disdain, she dared not be careless in her actions. This Giant Spirit Divine General was considered one of the more powerful Law Technique Divine Ability of their Divine Sword Peak, and she would suffer a great loss if she did not handle it well.

The silk scarves no longer restrained Su Liuyue's Law Treasure, but instead flew upwards, coiling around the divine general like serpents. Of course, this was not enough.

Zi Qi summoned another blood dragon. The blood dragon had a ferocious face, like a demon. After circling a few times, it opened its mouth and spat into the air, and a blood-red beam of light barely blocked the falling giant sword.

"Blood Prison Dragon? Your sect leader actually gave you this unique Divine Ability that belongs only to the sect leader. You wouldn't happen to be Li Yu's daughter, would you?"

Su Liuyue gave a rare defiant utterance, but her hands didn't stop moving. Whoever she was, since she was here, she would finish her off. Of course, if she could escape, that would be her own skill.
