Chapter 774: Chapter 773 【The Demeanor of One Sword Taoist】

[PS: The first update for today has been sent; the second update will still be around 11 p.m. Xiao Gou has been working very hard and diligently, no matter what happens, he has never missed an update. All he asks for is one reward from an Alliance Hierarch. Thank you, everyone!]

The Poison Master Du Tianqi from Five Poison Sect and Bei Lengshi from Songshan Sect are both powerhouses of the Ancient Martial World. Even Master Fang Zheng of Shaolin, One Sword Taoist of Wudang, and the elder Feng Qingyang of Mount Hua couldn’t easily eliminate these two men. Their strength has reached the Martial Saint Realm. Looking across the entire Ancient Martial World, they are among the top powerhouses.

Bang!

As Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi exchanged a blow, the heavens and earth changed color, causing the entire Songshan Sect to tremble. Many felt unstable, fearing that a great battle between these two would result in utter chaos.

”What’s the matter? I was merely joking with your son, and you’re so eager to step in?” Du Tianqi coldly asked Bei Lengshi.

”This is Songshan Sect’s territory. How can I stand by when you dare to make a move here?” Bei Lengshi also coldly replied to Du Tianqi.

”Humph, you want to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, and you think I would agree to that?” Du Tianqi snorted coldly as he spoke to Bei Lengshi.

”You really overestimate yourself. I’ve wanted to fight you for a long time. Let’s settle the score today!” As Bei Lengshi spoke, he intensified the activation of his Martial Arts True Power within his body.

Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, to put it bluntly, are not good characters. With wild ambitions, they both desire to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World to achieve their unspeakable goals. Now that the Five Poison Sect and Songshan Sect are in conflict, the showdown between Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi had all the martial artists in the audience looking forward to the drama, afraid that the battle between these two would harm the innocents.

Boom!

Bei Lengshi made the first move, slowly extending his right hand which was filled with immense Martial Arts True Power, pressing towards Du Tianqi.

Slap!

Du Tianqi frowned but was not panicked as he quickly condensed a stream of black poisonous gas between his eyebrows. This poisonous gas, infused with strong Martial Arts True Power, met Bei Lengshi’s right palm head-on.

Boom thud!

A thunderous impact resounded, and the martial dueling Formation instantly vanished. A powerful surge of Martial Arts True Power dissipated in all directions, affecting nearby martial artists. Many of them summoned their Martial Arts True Power to protect themselves, but weaker martial artists were either blown away or knocked down, unable to get up. The clash of two Martial Saint Realm powerhouses was unimaginably violent and fierce.

”Too powerful. At this rate, we’ll all die here,” Qing Chengyue said, furrowing her brows.

”Let’s go. This Ancient Martial World’s assembly can no longer continue. Let Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi fight like dogs and injure each other!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”But what about these martial artists? Some of them are too weak to escape. Once Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi’s battle breaks out, many will perish!” Dongfang Meng said worriedly.

”Save people!” Almost simultaneously, Qing Chengyue and Ye Tianchen spoke.

There were at least several hundred martial artists at the Songshan Sect’s cultivation ground. In addition to the disciples of the Eight Great Sects, there were many Independent Martial Artists. Some of them are strong enough to withstand the aftereffects of this Martial Arts Power; others, weaker ones, have fainted. With the battle between Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi not even begun, if it truly started, it would undoubtedly impact everyone present and shake the entire Ancient Martial World.

Swish!

Just as Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi were about to engage in a fierce battle, a figure appeared between them. One Sword Taoist, holding a horsetail whisk, smiled at Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi and said, ”Fellow Taoists, why fight recklessly? It’s harmful and pointless for both of you and your Sects. It would only benefit an old man like me, reaping the profits from your dispute.”

”You... One Sword Taoist, concerning the struggle for the position of ruler of the Ancient Martial World, now it’s only between my Songshan Sect and the Five Poison Sect. The victor shall become the ruler. You need not say more,” Bei Lengshi said fiercely as he stared at One Sword Taoist.

”Today I, Du Tianqi, came here to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. It would be laughable to return empty-handed. I advise you to step aside. Don’t think that just because you’re an elder, I’d be afraid of you!” Du Tianqi said arrogantly to One Sword Taoist.

All the martial artists present were shocked. Even the intervention of One Sword Taoist wasn’t enough to stop Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi. These two men clearly had no regard for One Sword Taoist. Or to put it another way, their combat strength was on par with One Sword Taoist. Even if they were slightly inferior, the difference wouldn’t be great. And if a real battle were to break out, these two ruthless individuals might even strike down One Sword Taoist first.

”No, although One Sword Taoist is an old predecessor of the Ancient Martial World with profound cultivation, it’s still too difficult to imagine him holding off Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi alone,” Dongfang Meng couldn’t help but express her worry.

”If those two start a major battle, the entire Ancient Martial World will be destroyed, and it could even potentially destroy the entire Earth. To stop them, we’d need two One Sword Taoists,” Qing Chengyue shook her head and said.

”Two One Sword Taoists? In the Ancient Martial World, the highest cultivations are Master Fang Zheng, One Sword Taoist, and the elder Feng Qingyang. After that, it’s Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi who are the most powerful. With Master Fang Zheng already passed away, One Sword Taoist alone can’t manage it. And Feng Qingyang, who’s gone insane and is of uncertain life or death...” Xie Yuhe couldn’t help but grow anxious.

Ye Tianchen frowned. At this moment, he too felt powerless. To stop a battle between Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, one would need combat strength on par with theirs. Moreover, both men were ruthless characters. Once they reached a frenzied state in battle, they could probably start killing indiscriminately. A great chaos in the Ancient Martial World was inevitable, and it might even extend to the Mortal World. By then, the common people of the Mortal World would experience tragedy. In the face of martial artists of the Martial Saint Realm, what were a nation’s advanced weapons? Nothing but chickens and dogs.

”Heh, the two of you certainly aren’t afraid of me. I could just ignore your battle, but have you considered that after the two of you are both severely injured, I can take the opportunity to kill you both? Then neither of you will be able to be the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. Isn’t that a pity?” One Sword Taoist said with a smile.

Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi were taken aback and glanced at each other, then looked back at One Sword Taoist. Almost at the same time, they attacked One Sword Taoist, intending to eliminate the great threat to themselves and to each other by killing him first.

Whoosh!

Boom!

When One Sword Taoist saw Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi simultaneously attack him, he was not afraid, and on the contrary, a smile appeared on his lips, which made Ye Tianchen feel somewhat baffled. Given the cultivation levels of Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, it was impossible for One Sword Taoist to fend them off alone, and why would he say something to provoke both of them into attacking him at once?

”The three of you, listen well. Neither Du Tianqi nor Bei Lengshi can become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. They are too cruel. I’ll hold them off now, you all hurry and lead the other martial artists away. Avoid any innocent casualties!”

Suddenly, the voices of One Sword Taoist reverberated in the minds of Qing Chengyue, Ye Tianchen, and Dongfang Meng, startling them all. They looked up into the sky at One Sword Taoist, Du Tianqi, and Bei Lengshi, and instantly understood. One Sword Taoist was gambling with his life, striving to hold off Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi to keep the other martial artists present from life-threatening danger. His earlier words were deliberately spoken to incite Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi to attack him together, creating an opportunity for Ye Tianchen and the others to escape.

”Elder...” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but transmit his thoughts through Divine Thought.

”Say no more, and don’t worry about me. If I can take these two demons down with me, then I can consider it a good deed for the martial artists of the world before I pass away. Leave quickly!” One Sword Taoist transmitted back decisively, interrupting Ye Tianchen.

Thump!

One Sword Taoist made his move. The horsetail whisk in his hand quickly extended, binding toward Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi as he himself soared into the air, continuously forming Sealing Skills with his hands. In the sky above, a land neither too big nor too small appeared, revealing a battlefield.

”What is that?”

”It’s the Ancient Battlefield, which has been hidden away!”

”Is One Sword Taoist planning to use the ancient battlefield to battle the two Great Demons without affecting the Ancient Martial World and the Mortal World?”

”It seems that One Sword Taoist has long planned to fight the two Great Demons, to kill them and remove the future threat to the Ancient Martial World!”

”This is a venerable old predecessor who deserves our respect...”

In an instant, many people understood. One Sword Taoist’s arrival was not only about stopping Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi from becoming the rulers of the Ancient Martial World, but he also wanted to fight these two demons with all his might, even using the ancient battlefield to prevent the scatter and destruction of Martial Arts True Power. Even if it meant dying together, he was determined to eliminate these two demons.

”Get moving, what are you all waiting for? Do you want to die here and let One Sword Taoist’s efforts be in vain?” Qing Chengyue, seeing One Sword Taoist and the others rushing into the ancient battlefield high in the sky, yelled loudly at all the martial artists present.

For a moment, many martial artists snapped back to their senses, no longer oppressed by the intimidating presence of Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, both Martial Saint Realm masters. They regained the ability to move and quickly flew towards the foot of Songshan Sect. With some of the top fighters of the Ancient Martial World battling it out, staying here was akin to seeking death.

”Where do you think you’re going!” Du Wanli suddenly got up from the ground, holding the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, and charged to block these martial artists’ escape.

”Anyone who does not support my father as the ruler of the Ancient Martial World must die. Today, no one will leave here alive,” Bei Wei bellowed loudly, standing at the exit. (To be continued.
