Chapter 99: Chapter 89: True Martial Foundation (Requesting First Subscription and Full Subscription Follow-up!)

Under the night sky.

The Celestial Sword, with its unmatched sharpness, was incredibly conspicuous, illuminating everyone’s eyes. No one had any spare thoughts to consider where this sword came from or whose hand wielded it.

They had only one thought.

Stop the Old Demon.

The Celestial Sword streaked across the sky, penetrating above everyone’s heads in an instant.

In the distance, the Divine Feather Grand General was delighted. ”Stop Old Demon Lin, and this General will reward you handsomely!”

Old Demon Lin glared angrily; he couldn’t believe the True Martial Sect still had such a hidden powerhouse, making his hopes dashed, and leaving him cold and sinister.

The blood-colored blade qi surged; he wanted to try one more time.

If exterminating the sect wasn’t possible, he at least needed to vent his anger.

From the flying Celestial Sword, he did not perceive much deep Power of Heaven and Earth, thinking this hidden person had at most recently entered the Celestial Human Realm, possibly relying on external force to break through. ”You skulking coward, dare to hinder...”

Old Demon Lin shouted angrily.

But the word ’I’ hadn’t even left his lips before it was cut off abruptly.

An expression of incredulity appeared on his face.

The Celestial Sword suddenly grew terrifyingly sharp in a way he couldn’t comprehend, seeming like Gang Qi yet not quite so, and waves of dense pressure instantly assaulted him.

In the shocked gazes of everyone.

The Celestial Sword cut unimpeded, and the blood-colored blade qi melted like spring snow meeting the sun.

It turned into gentle breezes on the face, with some even instinctively reaching out, only to find there was no threat at all, stunned on the spot.

But after the Celestial Sword shattered the blade qi, it did not disappear.

Ning Qi spent most of his Gang Qi for his strongest strike; it wouldn’t be so simple. Ning Qi’s gaze was cold as the Celestial Sword broke through the air, pointing directly at Old Demon Lin, daring to attack the True Martial Sect, must face consequences!

Old Demon Lin was terrified.

Unexpectedly, this sword was so horrifically powerful, suddenly exploding with endless sharpness, catching him off guard.

If in his peak condition, he wouldn’t fear it, but now he was seriously injured and with a night of fleeing, relying solely on the strength of the Blood Demon Flower, this sword made his scalp tingle.

He screamed frantically, but there was no way to retreat.

Behind him was the Divine Feather Grand General.

Left with no choice.

Old Demon Lin could only bite the bullet and charge forward, blood light piercing the sky, illuminating the heavens, blade qi crossing the sky to block the Celestial Sword.

But the Celestial Sword traversed like lightning, piercing through the blood light, and within moments had slashed directly in front of Old Demon Lin. ”Cut!”

Ning Qi whispered silently.

The Celestial Sword slashed down, seemingly intending to split Old Demon Lin into two halves. ”Ah!!!”

Old Demon Lin’s hair and beard bristled, blood light bursting forth, but to no avail, managing only to barely move half his body aside.

His angry shout turned into a miserable howl.

Blood mist proliferated; although Old Demon Lin didn’t die on the spot, he paid a heavy price, his right arm and leg were severed at the root, part of his body shattered, creating a grim scene. Without the Blood Demon Flower’s power washing through, he would probably be severely injured and dying.

Even so, Old Demon Lin was already in a desperate situation.

In such poor condition, the power of the Blood Demon Flower was less than ten percent, and the hope of fleeing to Black Wind Cliff was extremely slim.

He looked venomously towards the depths of True Martial Mountain, while regret arose in his heart; if he had destroyed the Wang Clan and gone straight to Black Wind Cliff, this calamity might not have befallen him.

The Divine Feather Grand General had reached.

He watched from afar, shocked by the sudden might of the Celestial Sword’s attack, but more than that, he was ecstatic.

He finally seized the opportunity. ”Old Demon Lin, you brought this upon yourself!”

The Divine Feather Grand General swung the Blood Spear and laughed wildly, as he shot like a thunderbolt piercing the clouds, the Blood Spear carrying a terrible piercing force towards Old Demon Lin.

Old Demon Lin could no longer focus on True Martial Mountain’s situation; the Divine Feather Grand General’s every strike carried extreme killing intent, forcing him to face with utmost vigilance, yet despite that, his body continuously erupted in blood mist.

In the night sky, two powerful individuals clashed.

The commotion was earth-shaking.

Ning Qi let out a soft breath, slightly relaxed, seizing the time to adjust, uncertain if the crisis had passed, prepared to strike again at any moment.

True Martial Mountain was silent, followed by an uproar, each person’s heart felt a sense of survival from catastrophe.

Just now, the World-Ending Blood Blade had made everyone feel what disparity and helplessness meant.

If not for the suddenly attacking Celestial Sword, everyone would have already gone to the yellow springs. ”Brother Luo, may I ask who that elder was who struck just now?”

Their words were filled with reverence.

The might of the Celestial Sword’s demon-slaying had stunned everyone.

Thinking that the True Martial Sect still harbored such a powerful individual made cold sweat break on their backs; they were even more grateful they hadn’t caused trouble in True Martial Mountain these past few days; otherwise, they wouldn’t know how they’d die.

Luo Wentian likewise felt bitterly amused in his heart; he also wanted to know.

But faced with others’ curious gazes, he only nodded vaguely: ”It is our True Martial Foundation.”

Everyone was even more astonished.

But soon, their attention was drawn to the battle in the sky, the white-haired old demon being crushed, yet his life force was extremely strong, still stubbornly resisting.

The matter was not over; they still didn’t know what happened, why suddenly a demon attacked. ”That Cyan Armor General seems to be the Imperial Court’s... Divine Feather Grand General!” Someone shouted, recognizing Divine Feather Grand General’s identity.

And moments later.

Another blade light streaked across, Cyan Bull Blade Master arrived, and everyone immediately understood something.

The Cyan Bull Blade Master originally went to annihilate demons but returned to fight again; the identity of this white-haired old demon was self-evident, likely one of the primary targets to be eradicated this time.

Everyone held their breath in anticipation. ...

And not only True Martial Mountain.

The entire True Martial City was also awakened by the battle between the strong, and the sound of Power of Heaven and Earth colliding was like heavenly drums, hard to ignore.

The white-haired youth stood at the highest point of the pavilion, gazing into the distance.

His Gang Qi spun in his eyes, seeing clearly the distant scene, the bloodlight marks recognized one of the identities, and his heart raced. ”Isn’t that... Elder Lin from the Death Fire Abyss division?” ”Why is he here, and being pursued?” ”Earlier, did he intend to... destroy True Martial Mountain?”

A series of thoughts arose in the mind of the white-haired youth, and his expression finally turned indifferent, merely watching as Old Demon Lin approached the brink of death under the siege of two powerful figures.

Meanwhile.

He pondered another question. ”Who was wielding that Celestial Sword that rose from the True Martial Sect?”

Suddenly.

He remembered the year his Heart Demon acted up, and he met a Taoist who claimed to be the True Martial Foundation. He had a feeling that the Celestial Sword was wielded by that Taoist. ”So... he is this powerful...”

The expression of the white-haired youth turned complicated as he touched his chest, seemingly still able to perceive the pain from that incident years ago. In retrospect, the Taoist had clearly been holding back as much as possible.

Sporadic discussions erupted around.

Many people, piecing together scattered information from the past few days, had guessed something, and some extraordinarily clever individuals were even quite close to the truth.

The True Martial Sect participated in the Demon Suppression operation, and now they were being retaliated against by the demon faction.

However, they did not know that the True Martial Sect did not participate voluntarily, but were compelled to do so, and that the participants were not limited to the True Martial Sect, there were numerous powerful figures involved. ...

In the sky.

Old Demon Lin was surrounded by the Divine Feather Grand General and the Cyan Bull Blade Master.

No way to escape above, no refuge below.

He was at the end of his rope.

The remaining arm of his mutilated body looked extremely grim, as not long ago, the Divine Feather Grand General blasted away his remaining leg during battle.

At this moment, the power of the Blood Demon Flower was completely exhausted.

Old Demon Lin was resolved to die and laughed wildly: ”Divine Feather, today you kill me, in the future, my Holy Sect will surely avenge me, and your fate will be far worse than mine!” ”The Great Yan dynasty, it will collapse!” ”Hahahahaha!”

He laughed wildly without scruples, and then his vital energy vibrated, as he blew himself up with a loud ’boom’, transforming into a vast cloud of blood mist. The blood-red light shone upon the night sky, making it even more eerie.

The Cyan Bull Blade Master and the Divine Feather Grand General both retreated, effortlessly dispelling the aftermath of Old Demon Lin’s self-detonation.

Watching Old Demon Lin’s self-destruction, the Cyan Bull Blade Master fell into a slight silence, as if he had a choice, he would avoid getting involved in the court and demon sect’s conflict. Both were enormous powers, not something he could contend with.

Meanwhile, the Divine Feather Grand General snorted coldly: ”The insignificant Demon Sect, boasting shamelessly, my Great Yan is eternal and unbreakable, only some remnants who dare to challenge like ants!”

Soon after.

His eyes revealed a hint of joy.

Although there were twists and turns in this operation, no matter how you looked at it, the results were fruitful.

Not only did they kill Old Demon Lin and four Celestial Human Realm experts of the Demon Sect, but they also completely eradicated a Demon Sect division, severing a tentacle of the Demon Sect in Qing State and Chu State, greatly intimidating all forces within the Great Yan realm.

His contribution was substantial, and there might even be a slight hope of being summoned by the Martial Saint.

At this thought, the Divine Feather Grand General couldn’t help but feel a slight excitement.

Then.

He smiled at the Cyan Bull Blade Master beside him: ”Brother Cyan Bull, you worked hard this time, your contributions will be truthfully reported to the court, and there will surely be rewards.”

The Cyan Bull Blade Master merely nodded lightly: ”Thank you, Grand General.”

He glanced in the direction of the True Martial Sect, feeling somewhat relieved: ”Luckily, the Grand General intercepted Old Demon Lin in time, otherwise, the True Martial Sect would have faced the same disaster as the Wang Clan, and I would have no way to face the boy from Long Shan.”

When chasing earlier, he noticed they were getting closer to True Martial Mountain, and he had an ominous premonition.

Fortunately, when he arrived, he found the Divine Feather Grand General already battling Old Demon Lin, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He naturally assumed it was the Divine Feather Grand General who intercepted Old Demon Lin halfway.

But the Divine Feather Grand General looked at him with an odd expression, slightly shaking his head: ”It wasn’t me.”

The Cyan Bull Blade Master looked bewildered. ...

Taoist Longshan looked extremely anxious.

He continuously roared in his heart: ”Hurry! Faster!”

At the thought of the devastation of the Wang Clan, his heart pounded wildly.

If upon his return, he found True Martial Mountain in ruins, with his once beloved disciples lying lifeless, what kind of pain would that be?

His eyes gradually turned blood red.

Under potential eruption, he had even gained a deeper understanding of the Celestial Being Unity Secret Technique, but ultimately limited in strength, no matter how fast, it was impossible to surpass Old Demon Lin who used the Blood Burning Technique.

Getting closer to True Martial Mountain. ”Boom!!”

A terrifying sound of impact came from afar.

The sky burst into a brilliant blood glow, illuminating the night, appearing extremely eerie.

Taoist Longshan’s heart sank continuously. ”Ultimately, I am still a step too late...”

He pushed for the utmost speed.

Bearing the grief in his heart, he approached step by step.

But suddenly, his mood cleared up, with bright light emerging from the clouds.

Taoist Longshan stood frozen in place.

Before his eyes, there wasn’t a scene of ruins.

Instead, it was brightly lit, bustling with noise, distant familiar faces reflecting in his pupils, seeing all his disciples there washed away his worries.

But what followed were questions.

What exactly happened, where is Old Demon Lin?
