Chapter 627: Chapter 624: Celestial Punishment Daoist’s Terms

Just as he was harboring such thoughts, Xiao Tian swiftly assimilated that pure energy into True Qi, temporarily elevating the rank of Iron Chain Cross River, and delivered a punch to the Celestial Punishment Daoist in front of him.

The next moment, the Celestial Punishment Daoist, feeling confident, thought he had grasped the opponent’s strength and was ready to retaliate. Suddenly, he was shocked to find his Protective True Qi shattered in an instant.

With his Protective True Qi broken, the Celestial Punishment Daoist didn’t even have time to be surprised before feeling a powerful force coming at him. The plan to directly withstand the opponent’s attack and then counterattack was instantly thrown to the back of his mind.

With a muffled sound, the Celestial Punishment Daoist’s body flew up like a kite with a broken string, spiraling into the distance with blood involuntarily spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Despite seeing his strike’s effectiveness, Xiao Tian didn’t show any ease on his face. Although the Celestial Punishment Daoist appeared disheveled, he had indeed followed the power of Xiao Tian’s hit to soar out.

In doing so, Xiao Tian’s strong strike would dissipate at least 50% of its force midair, causing some damage to the Celestial Punishment Daoist, but it seemed rather insignificant!

Soon, the Celestial Punishment Daoist in midair stepped on a tree, and the rebound force instantly sent him back, his hands wielding a sharp sword, spinning continuously to attack Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian’s brows furrowed tightly, and grabbing Lin Bingxuan, he sent her far away, fully dedicating himself to dealing with the Celestial Punishment Daoist’s attack, accelerating the assimilation of that pure energy into True Qi within his Dantian to rejuvenate himself.

The Celestial Punishment Daoist, like Man and Sword as One, was truly incredibly fast. Within a few breaths, he was upon Xiao Tian, his momentum exceedingly sharp, with an unstoppable bearing.

Of course, Xiao Tian was no fool. There was no way he would clash head-on with such a powerful opponent, but having just taken a moment to send Lin Bingxuan out of the battlefield meant he was now too late to dodge.

In urgency, Xiao Tian had to turn his body sideways and, at blinding speed, executed an extremely standard backbend.

The Celestial Punishment Daoist’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting such a move from the opponent. While pondering, he had already passed under Xiao Tian’s waist like a boat sailing under an arch bridge.

A series of loud cracks erupted, and the crowd quickly turned their gaze, only to see a large section of tree trunks severed waist-high and falling down, the snow on the leaves instantly burying the figure of the Celestial Punishment Daoist.

But, no one on the scene believed that the Celestial Punishment Daoist would be crushed to death so easily.

Sure enough, shortly after, sounds rustled from a small mound composed of branches and snow, and the Celestial Punishment Daoist struggled to crawl out, a trace of blood still at the corner of his mouth, yet his body stood as straight as a sharp sword!

”Who are you?” The Celestial Punishment Daoist finally uttered his first sentence since the start of the battle, unable to resist speculating about Xiao Tian’s identity.

Given the current situation, it’s impossible for a hidden master to exist anymore, even if there was one, considering the opponent’s age, it couldn’t possibly be a hidden master!

If so, then the person’s identity becomes very suspicious. With the Celestial Punishment Daoist’s vast knowledge, he couldn’t think of any master matching the person in front, so who exactly is he?

And why is he entangled with Lin Bingxuan? Could it be because of her looks?

”Although I don’t know why you’re protecting that bitch, nor do I know your true identity,” the Celestial Punishment Daoist’s expression softened slightly, ”but if it’s just because she’s good-looking, I can find you someone better!”

After saying this, as if fearing the other wouldn’t believe him, the Celestial Punishment Daoist added, ”I can guarantee it on the honor of the Kunlun Sect, as long as you don’t interfere with my revenge for my disciple, everything is negotiable!”

Upon hearing the Celestial Punishment Daoist’s words, initially wanting to act when he insulted Lin Bingxuan, Xiao Tian stayed his hand.

The Celestial Punishment Daoist secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had convinced the opponent, only for Xiao Tian’s next words to nearly make him choke with anger.

”Guarantee on the honor of the Kunlun Sect?” Xiao Tian chuckled lightly, his tone full of sarcasm: ”Are you the Sect Leader?”

”Although I’m not the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader has been secluded in hermit cultivation for years,” explained the Celestial Punishment Daoist, ”so I’m the one arranging everything within the sect. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call me the Sect Leader!”

”If you’re not the Sect Leader, then don’t talk about things that don’t matter,” Xiao Tian frowned, ”How can the words of someone who doesn’t even dare to recognize his own son be trusted?!”

”You!”

Struck at his weakness, the Celestial Punishment Daoist was momentarily speechless, having to reorganize his words to prove himself, yet Xiao Tian spoke ahead of him.

”As the saying goes, an eye for an eye, your bastard son was beaten by me; doesn’t it make sense to come after me instead of finding someone else?”

Xiao Tian’s words ignited uncontrollable fury in the Celestial Punishment Daoist, his eyes coldly locking onto Yun He and Yun Mie.

If it weren’t for these two fools reporting false information, would he have wasted so many words with the person who hurt his son?!

”You two...” A sentence from the Celestial Punishment Daoist made Yun He and Yun Mie instantly feel like they fell into an ice cellar, their bodies involuntarily trembling.

”Mas-master uncle, please calm your anger, I was just getting to the point when you...” Yun He began to explain but suddenly felt the pressure lighten, feeling inexplicably strange.

The reason was that Xiao Tian had already acted first. He swiftly advanced towards the Celestial Punishment Daoist while shouting, ”I don’t care what kind of Sect Leader you claim to be, for what you just said, you must die!”

Watching Xiao Tian taking the initiative to strike, Melinda, not far away, couldn’t help but furrow her Liu Mei, realizing something in her heart.

Indeed, part of it was due to the Celestial Punishment Daoist’s offensive words, which had angered Xiao Tian; however, the larger reason was... desperation?

The Celestial Punishment Daoist could afford to drag it out; Xiao Tian couldn’t match him in that regard. Although Melinda didn’t know how his strength suddenly soared to evenly match or even surpass their opponent.

Yet, Melinda believed Xiao Tian’s burst of power couldn’t be maintained for long, so he couldn’t waste too much time!

They needed another plan; if Xiao Tian’s strength reverted, it would become extremely dangerous.

Although Melinda’s assessment was flawed, it was based on logic since she didn’t yet know about Lin Bingxuan’s Life Seal.

With it, Xiao Tian could practically drag the Celestial Punishment Daoist to death!

Having made up her mind, Melinda reacted instantly, appearing beside Yun He and the others in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the fairy-like beauty suddenly appear before them, Yun He and Yun Mie not only didn’t feel happy but couldn’t help becoming terrified.

”Wh-what are you doing?” Yun He stammered, backing away involuntarily.

Seeing Yun He retreat, Yun Mie simply abandoned the Yun You in his arms and showed the same terrified expression.
