Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 323: Chapter 65: Final Strike Before Death, Cyan Wood Longevity 3

Are you waiting for reinforcements? They’re gone, and there’s no place left in the world for the Primordial Sect.

"Then why don’t you come and kill me? What are you afraid of?"

On the high platform, a seated figure spoke softly, his voice filled with endless loneliness, as if he’d been waiting for this day for a long time.

In the dim morning light, one could see his slender figure, snow-white hair, traces of crow-feet at the corners of his eyes, and a slightly aged face, hinting at a beauty that once captivated nations.

Alas, time spares no one. Though there are no age spots or large wrinkles, the woman’s skin is withered and gray-white, her life has reached its final end.

"Blustering, you merely bested me by a slim margin back then. Now, with your Qi and blood both depleted, where do you find the confidence to protect your disciples?

Hand over the Primordial True Gang Glazed Body mind and the Celestial Star Order.

Also, the Bright King Purifying World Technique you obtained from the Old Monk Shifang, hand it over to me, and I’ll show you some face by not annihilating the Primordial Sect."

Muu Yunshang fell silent.

She seemed unable to see the Ninth Generation Elder Cui Shihong kneeling and being drained of Life Force by countless small white flowers in the Ancestor Master Cave, nor the shaking disciples Yi Shou and Deng Gui standing in the corner, gripping their swords against Jiang Wuji’s overwhelming presence.

She only sighed, her eyes lowered, as if reminiscing about the past, murmuring softly: "Senior Brother, if you knew today’s circumstances, would you still have taken that final step back then?"

She thought of the year the Primordial Sect flourished, ranking first among the four sects, even surpassing the Three Sects of Buddhism.

Within the sect, Three Venerable Elders and Five Elders, Seven Grandmasters were all present, with one sword reigning over the world, claiming the top spot on the Celestial List.

What splendor, what dominance.

Unfortunately, in one night, glory and fame vanished.

The Qingtian Sword broke, three venerable elders and five elders lost seven of their number, and the last one soon passed away due to injuries.

Only she was left, forcibly breaching the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, damaging her foundation.

For a hundred years, there has been little progress.

Her cultivation, not to mention matching her senior brother, might not even be stronger than this old Jiang family fellow who used medicines and heavenly materials to break through to the Unity Realm.

With such strength, how could she protect the Primordial Sect?

"Senior Brother, I’m here to see you."

Muu Yunshang sighed silently in her heart, finally glancing at the jade-green mountain scenery outside the cave, no longer suppressing the Cyan Wood Longevity Qi within her, letting her arms grow small white flowers and long, dense roots.

"Jiang Wuji, you lay in ambush behind my cliff for three days, struck me once, now I’ll return the favor."

With that said, Muu Yunshang’s figure moved without wind, drifting smoothly forward.

Her entire body and face suddenly ignited with a glazed jade-colored glow, she struck with a single palm.

Inside the cave, the light circulated, Heaven and Earth’s Qi Mechanism gathered into that palm, making one see only the jade-colored light, dividing into Yin and Yang, endlessly revolving, compelling one’s gaze.

Before the palm even arrived, Jiang Wuji’s face turned slightly unpleasant.

Half of his face turned red, the other half pale.

The palm he saw was a colossal sword, splitting heaven and earth as it came crashing down.

Black and white light transformed into a millstone, crushing down with a roar.

He shouted loudly, dared not be arrogant, the Dragon Slaying Spear already leaping into his hand.

With a flicker, his body seemed to transform into a millennium-old tree, firmly rooted on the mountain, branches swaying, spear shadows stretching endlessly, roaring into motion.

Infinite cyan-green light crashed out like a tsunami.

At this moment, he wouldn’t dare be careless.

Boom...

The entire mountain peak trembled.

The Ancestor Master Cave over hundreds of meters wide collapsed by half.

Under the impact of Qi Force, the Seventh Generation Elder Cui Shihong, Eighth Generation Disciple Yi Shou, and Tenth Generation Disciple Deng Gui were obliterated into fragments under the impact of black, white, and green light, scattered in all directions, even shaving a layer off the cave walls.

After one move, Muu Yunshang’s form transformed into jade powder, drifting down, scattering on the ground.

With her final strike, she burned Essence, Qi, and Spirit all at once, her flesh no longer existed.

"Puh..."

Jiang Wuji spat out a mouthful of golden blood, his face turning pale.

He fell to the ground, gasping heavily for ten breaths, before a trace of color returned to his cheeks.

He hurriedly pulled out several pristine white medicine pills from his bosom, swallowed them, pointed to his chest and forehead, pressing eighteen major acupoints, vomiting two mouthfuls of foul blood, mixed with small fragmented internal organs, before catching his breath.

"Well done, Muu Yunshang. Even at the point of death, you still hit me hard. If it weren’t for my Cyan Wood Longevity Skill, with its exceedingly strong Life Force, taking this strike, it would likely require ten years of recovery."

His expression was grim, rummaging around in the cave, gathering up a few jade scrolls and an extraordinary ancient-shaped small token, tearing a piece of cloth from his shirt to make a bundle and slung it over his shoulder.

Gripping the Dragon Slaying Spear, Jiang Wuji’s eyes hardened, thinking he might as well go all out, directly clear the Primordial Sect to avenge this sword strike.

Yet he only took two steps before stopping.

"Although I’ve temporarily suppressed the injuries, recovering afterward, in just a year, it could be healed.

Moreover, it wouldn’t affect my performance for now...

But that’s just under normal circumstances where I don’t encounter strong enemies.

Once ensnared in a fierce battle, the injuries might exacerbate, drastically reducing combat power.

Remaining in the Primordial Sect are scattered cats and dogs, unworthy of concern; the only worry is that Chen Ping who killed my promising grandson.

Though that boy hasn’t reached the Unity Realm Grandmaster, he was able to face and kill Tang Lin’er, the Buddha Son of Dharma Aspect Sect, with the Earth List’s top not holding for dozens of moves at his hands. His combat prowess is not far from the Unity Realm..."

Thinking about earlier, himself hiding on the side, sensing the battle at Wind Snow Cliff, seeing that confrontation, Jiang Wuji felt it necessary to be cautious.

If he, in his currently wounded state, tries to forcibly crush the Primordial Sect and battles Chen Ping, who is infinitely close to Grandmaster strength, he might not gain many advantages.

Although the others may not greatly impact, they could at least serve as distractions.

If everything were overturned by that junior, it would be most unfavorable.

"Then I’ll descend the mountain for now, the entrusted secret compendiums and Celestial Star Token are in my hands, and I’m not afraid of being pursued."

With this in mind, Jiang Wuji forcibly quelled his murderous intent.

He quietly leaped down from the cliff behind the cave, leaving Jade Pen Peak, and found his second son, Jiang Yuandong, waiting for him below.

"Yuandong, you will personally act as the main general, lead three thousand Cyan Wood Cavalry, and set up the Heaven-Swallowing Array to encircle Jade Pen Peak.

This time, for my son Yuan Hao to seize the Azure Dragon Seal, establishing an eternal foundation.

Ziyang’s grandson’s vengeance can also be avenged together."
