“You all stop Li Guang’s Quiet Phoenix Cry, I’ll go kill that brat. As things stand, we can only seize his Black Turtles. This can be considered a boon enough.” Qi Xi secretly spoke to the others through Sound Transmission.

The red-faced crone and the middle-aged man inwardly nodded. Although they feared the Flying General’s might, they were unwilling to let such a chance go.

The red-faced crone expression was like firewood as she exhaled a red fog.

The red fog was ever-changing and free, billowing towards Li Guang. She lifted her head and fired the Quiet Phoenix Cry. The red fog immediately became incomparably viscous, ensnaring the Quiet Phoenix Cry. The middle-aged man also stirred his dantian, activating the magic treasure “Soul Trapping Mirror.” This ancient mirror descended above Li Guang and released a pure white light that trapped her.

Qi Xi seized his chance to kill Chen Mo.

He had Earthly Immortal cultivation and was able to easily handle Chen Mo. His Flying Swords spun together, becoming a shocking sword-light that attacked Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, on the contrary, did not fear any Earthly Immortal. His hand gripped Northern Dipper as he prepared to activate the Dark Rank Saber Draw Water Cutter to kill Qi Xi while he was unprepared, for Qi Xi apparently was somewhat afraid of his weapon. The moment the Flying Swords clashed with Northern Dipper, the man’s gaze turned malevolent. He pointed a finger and fired a black light from his fingertip.

The finger-shadows were numerous, as if they had emerged from Hell, going so far as to release ghostly howls and demonic specters.

“Fantasy Devil Finger!”

Some cultivators would be astonished to see this technique.

The Fantasy Devil Finger was an extremely strange ability. Once the finger was used, thousands of phantoms would appear. The finger technique was demonic, unblockable, brimming with poison. The fiercer a direct confrontation was, the harder it was to defend against. The Black Turtle’ body was unexcelled, but Qi Xi still had great confidence he could use Fantasy Devil Finger to attack Chen Mo’s mind and kill him in a single blow. This attack was sufficient to destroy a cultivator’s soul, and it was practically possible for an Earthly Immortal to instantly kill a Human Immortal by using the Fantasy Devil Finger.

A cold wind blew. Chen Mo’s whole body was covered in goosebumps from the chill, and he immediately sensed danger. Under Fantasy Devil Finger, his magic energy surprisingly had no place to be used.

Just as he was about to be struck by the Fantasy Devil Finger’s evil, Daji suddenly emerged from his jacket, letting out a fox cry.

Daji’s eyes glowed with white light, and a ray of light was fired that firmly stopped the Fantasy Devil Finger.1

In this moment of clarity, Chen Mo finally unleashed Star Energy and struck with the staff.

“Dammit.” Qi Xi never expected that his surprise attack would surprisingly be blocked. He cursed, continuing to fly forth. With a whoosh, Fantasy Devil Fingers rained like a storm as he used all of his magic energy.

Black light sprung forth.

Before Chen Mo could use his Dark Rank, a phoenix cry entered his ears. A crimson light flit past him, and the red arrow pierced through the Fantasy Devil Fingers. The black light of the fingers immediately disintegrated.

Qi Xi’s expression changed, and he promptly used a sword chant to protect himself.

His twenty Flying Swords formed an impenetrable defensive sword array that shielded his front.

The Quiet Phoenix Cry shot forth, punching an enormous hole in the sword array, easily breaking Qi Xi’s defenses. The man was overwhelmed with shock as he pointed his finger.

“Only I can kill this man, are you people deaf?!!” Li Guang’s voice was full of fury.

The three great cultivators felt fear from the bottom of their hearts when she stared at them.

Li Guang sinisterly smiled, and her slender fingers moved as if controlling a puppet.

At this time, everyone finally noticed that the image of a phoenix spreading its wings was unexpectedly etched into her fingernails.

Yellow Rank!

Fake Death!2

“Quiet Phoenix Cry” rotated. That speed was far faster than what any eye could see. A red line piierced through space, drawing a line that linked the foreheads of Qi Xi, the red-faced crone, and the middle-aged man.

A hundred cultivators suddenly ceased to draw breath, becoming a rain of corpses.

Qi Xi’s figure faded then reassembled. His magic energy was vast, and the Fantasy Techniques he cultivated could barely defend against the Quiet Phoenix Cry’s attack, “How can this be, how can this be…” The man heaved, not daring to believe the wretched scene in front of him. In no more than a few breaths’ time, three-fourths of the thousand cultivators in the oasis were already dead. The remainder were merely struggling on death’s door and were filled with fear.

“Flying Phoenix General” Li Guang’s savagery far exceeded the expectations of all the cultivators present. Each person no longer had the will to resist.

Except for one.

Clang!

An arrow-light attacked Li Guang from the front. The Flying Phoenix General caught it with one hand, and the arrow’s magic energy continuously throbbed in her hand. The woman firmly crushed it as she coldly stared into the distance.

“Li Guang. Flying Phoenix General Li Guang. So it’s you. How perfect that you are my opponent.” “Thorn Of Turbulent Times” Hou Jing showed an excited grin. The Mandarin Duck Splitter attacked, her killing intent like two crescent moons.

Li Guang did not even move. Her Star Weapon arrow “Quiet Phoenix Cry” danced about her surroundings like a phoenix.

“Opponent. In my eyes, you are nothing but someone about to die.” Li Guang disdainfully said. 

Hou Niaoyan was taken aback, but she immediately roared with laughter: “I honestly did not expect the other you from before to be so oblivious in appearance. You are quite good at hiding, Flying Phoenix General. However, I, Hou Jing, want to see just what capabilities the famous Li Guang has.”

The double-headed axe shuddered. The Mandarin Duck Splitter surprisingly revealed six stars.

Adorned with six stars, their splendor twinkled.

Hou Jing was in constant life and death situations at the Hunting Heaven Pavilion. She mastered an entire repertoire of skills, and her Star Weapon was casted to Six Star. The Six Star Destined Weapon was sufficient to allow her Realm to begin to ascend.

Her Star Energy was charged, vaguely coiling. Hou Niaoyan’s eyes were like daggers as she already showed faint signs of breaking through from Yellow Court Realm peak to “Roadless Extreme Realm”

Li Guang was very famous in Star World, having been worshipped in a “martial temple” in the past, but regarding her military accomplishments and strength, the truth was that she was quite overblown in a Star General’s eyes, with not much being circulated about at all.

In the most recent five thousand years of the “Star Duels List,” Li Guang had never entered the top hundred. For a Star Name that once occupied a “martial temple,” this was a kind of absolute disgrace.

The name did not reflect the reality.

This was the evaluation many Star Generals had for Li Guang.

Hou Jing knew that the potential of the Flying General’s Star Name was greater than her own, but the Thorn Of Turbulent Times had trained for so long with the Hunting Heaven Pavilion, she had a fearless heart. On the contrary, if she was able to kill Li Guang, then Hou Jing could be said to have established an outstanding military accomplishment, one enough to ascend her to a Single Character Star Name. 

“Your lover seems about to die.” Hou Jing’s eyes suddenly gazed behind her.

Li Guang’s eyes could not help but glance behind herself. Just at this moment, Hou Jing let out a sneer. She leapt forth, the double-edged axe unleashing a baleful aura that flooded the heavens, flowing like a flood.

“This type of weakness truly is a disgrace. Die, Li Guang…”

Li Milu’s eyes slightly sunk. Quiet Phoenix Cry moved in front of her, but it was unable to block the incoming killing intent.

Suddenly, their figures were submerged.

At the same time, Qi Xi, who was struggling on death’s door, finally seized his last chance when he saw Li Guang was occupied by Hou Jing. He frantically pounced towards Chen Mo.

“Fantasy Devil Finger!”

Qi Xi shouted, using his remaining magic energy for his last attack.

Chen Mo stepped on the corpses in the river. Watching his reckless attack, Chen Mo’s brow did not even crease. The black finger-light and finger-shadows interwove and landed on Chen Mo’s chest. Chen Mo did not hold abck either and counterattacked with “Ice Breaker Snow Slicer.”

Saber-light directly broke apart the Fantasy Devil Finger and slashed across Qi Xi’s chest.

A bone-chilling cold instantly froze all of his senses.

Bang.

The two of them were struck one after another.

Chen Mo retreated backwards. His body sustained the Fantasy Devil Finger, and all of his bones and muscles seemed about to melt. A gloomy and cold magic energy throbbed painfully in his body, making him vomit blood. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Silkworm Snow Brocade that warded off much of the Fantasy Devil Finger’s magic energy. Otherwise, he was able to sense that his soul definitely would have been destroyed by that Earthly Immortal’s finger just now.

Qi Xi was not so fortunate. His body was completely rigid, his eyes wide, not daring to believe that blade he saw in Chen Mo’s hand.

Chen Mo turned the saber into a staff. Just then, Qi Xi was completely unprepared. Under Chen Mo’s Yellow Rank, it was already impossible for the man to live.

Qi Xi collapsed on top of the corpses, eyes still wide open.

Seeing he was dead, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. If not for Li Guang already heavily injuring him, handling him just now honestly would be somewhat troublesome. Fortunately, all threats had collapsed. Chen Mo brought out an Astral Cent to recover his Star Energy. Then, he turned his gaze to the sky, hesitantly watching Li Guang and Hou Jing’s battle.

“Chen Mo, are you alright.”

A voice entered his ear. Chen Mo turned his head and saw the disciples of Heaven Beyond Heaven land in front of him. That they surprisingly were still alive caught him by a bit of surprise.

“All thanks to your previous teachings to me on the pentatonic scale, Chen Mo. I was barely able to ward off Li Guang’s Quiet Phoenix Cry.” Yue Huanqin gratefully said.

The others nodded as well.

If it was not for Yue Huanqin’s Heavenly Music Sword String ascending to a new level in time, they would have been killed by Li Guang like the rest of the cultivators and not have even realized it.

“I never imagined that Milu was actually Flying General Li Guang.”

“Right, too unthinkable.”

“She kills us cultivators like we’re ants. That just now was truly too terrifying.” Recalling the fleeting instant of danger from a moment ago, they were still in fright.

Chen Mo coldly glared at Lu Yushu, not saying a word.

“Chen Mo, let’s leave while Hou Jing keeps Li Guang occupied.” Yue Huanqin urgently said.

“I’m not leaving.” Chen Mo turned down her kind suggestion.

He Zijin and the others were flabbergasted when they heard this: “Fellow, are you mad. Although you and Milu have a good relationship, did you not hear her words just now?”

“She wants to kill you.”

“Yes. Right now, she is already berserk, killing people like flies. I feel she definitely can do it. Fellow, let us escape together first. With us Heaven Beyond Heaven disciples here, the others will not dare do anything to you.”

“Many thanks for your kindness. I will not leave. You had better get going. By the time Li Guang kills Hou Jing, you won’t be able to escape, and I won’t be able to protect you.” Chen Mo calmly said.

They looked at each other.

Yue Huanqin was pale in the face: “Chen Mo, are you really not leaving with us.”

Chen Mo could see that this girl was still very concerned for his safety. Chen Mo was a bit moved, but to make him give up on Milu was impossible.

Seeing Chen Mo’s resolution, Yue Huanqin sighed helplessly.

Lu Yushu cupped his fist and said: “Your Servant had eyes but was blind before and has commited many an offense. Your Servant hopes for your forgiveness.”

“Your eyes actually aren’t blind. I’m only a Thunder Tribulation cultivator, after all.” Chen Mo bantered.

Lu Yushu laughed and stepped forward: “Then let us shake hands and reconcile. It was all thanks to Your Distinguished Self that we were able to escape disaster. I, Lu Yushu, owe you my life. Someday, I will definteily repay this given the chance.”

“No need.” Chen Mo was not too fond of his change in attitude.

“Not good, Milu is in danger.” Ji Biling suddenly shouted.

Chen Mo turned to look, but just at this moment, a murderous wind suddenly rose beside his ear.

He ZIjin, Jing Tianchu, Ji Biling, and Lu Yushu were already like hungry tigers, showing malevolent expressions.

“What are you doing.” Yue Huanqin was alarmed. The girl instinctively stepped forward to stop them.

Ji BLing knocked her out with a palm chop.

Chen Mo apparently already anticipated this. He stamped his foot, displaying majestic power that shook the heavens. The Black Turtle True Spirit manifested once again, stopping their killing intent.

“What, everyone changed faces so quickly? Weren’t you just talking about repaying the favor of saving your life a moment ago?” Chen Mo jeered.

Lu Yushu sneered: “I, Lu Yushu, have always hated owing people my life. Killing you will settle everything.”

The four of them surrounded Chen Mo. Their sword-lights were like guzheng strings, linked together.

“Do you also plan on killing me?” Chen Mo felt sincere disappointment with Ji Biling and the others’ decision. Truthfully, he was quiet ffond of them.

Ji BIling slightly strugge,d but she soon coldly said: “Chen Mo, you can only blame yourself for harboring a treasure that others covet. All cultivators in the world would want to obtain an Ancient Flying Sword like the Four Symbols Black Turtle Swords. Even if we do not kill you, you will die to someone else’s hands.”

“Exactly. It would be ebtter for use to make a deal. Why not give them to use to use. We are disciples of Heaven Beyond Heaven. We absolutely can use the Four Symbols Sword to shake Star World.” He Zijin craftily said.

“And you, Fellow Jing Tianchi?” Chen Mo asked.

Jing Tianchi was silent, but his cold eyes were a clear answer.

This could not be blamed on their greed. It could only be said that Chen Mo’s Without Ultimate Primordial Dual Modes Four Symbols Swords’ “Black Turtle” was too enticing. So long as they were able to obtain evne one of the only billets of the Black Turtle Swords, they could become unparalleled Flying Swords with a few personal customizations. In regards to their future cultivation journey, they would bound into the clouds.

And no one would dare look down on them.

Furthermore, Chen Mo only had Thunder Tribulation strength right now and was injured by Qi Xi’s Fantasy Devil Finger. In all respects, he had no potential to contend against them. He could only sit and wait for death.

No one was willing to waste such a good chance.

“Junior Brothers, Senior Sister, do not waste your breath on him. Let us kill him first.” Lu Yushu was impatient. “Your Father is already sick of a mere Thunder Tribulation cultivator’s arrogant mouth.”

Chen Mo nodded. His gaze gradually filled with indifference.

“Then you can all die.”3
