Chapter 1150: Please Do Not Interfere With My Battlefield

Amidst boundless, resplendent brilliance.

Beneath a single sword strike, the nine Dao Sons of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong coughed blood and were sent reeling backward, their auras withered, utterly on the back foot!

They clearly wielded stronger power—nine times that of the Great Sun Sword Son—and their Chaotic Order force was equal, yet in true combat they were defeated with ease, without any stalemate or suspense.

Defeated, but not yet dead.

Clang!

A sword was drawn once more, sweeping across heaven and earth; the world was enveloped by the radiance of the Great Sun Sword Dao's order.

"Come!"

"Jiang Ding Zi!"

Tianji Dao Son's gaze was blood-red, killing intent boundless: "You want our lives—do you truly think we cannot grievously wound you?"

The nine Dao Sons no longer attempted to flee, for turning one's back to a sword cultivator was a path to certain death. A tragic, terrifying momentum rose upon them, preparing to burn their divine souls, burn their flesh and blood, burning everything to fight for their lives.

Law cultivators have always valued harmony, disliking war—it brings them no benefit.

But once war becomes inevitable, they never lack courage, never panic, and often make the most efficient response.

"Grievously wound?"

From within the radiant sword Dao will, a low murmur came.

Clang!

The sword Dao radiance bloomed as promised!

A terrifying killing intent, icy yet searing, blotted out the sky, filling all four directions, draining the world of every other light, leaving only boundless brilliance and order.

"Um…"

"Um, Jiang Ding…"

Teacher Gu Lin hesitated for a long while, paced back and forth for a long while, and finally stepped in front of Antu Zi and the others, earning a great many grateful gazes.

Right now, she truly could not let the Dao Sons of Badaxian Sect be killed!

The great powers of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong had not yet been destroyed; most critically, the two sides were currently in an allied state, still needing to join forces to surround and kill the sovereigns of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan. An internal war erupting now was simply not the right moment—it would bring terrible harm to both sides, with billions possibly dying as a result, unavoidably.

A bone-chilling, terrifying gaze descended suddenly.

It landed coldly upon the green-haired woman.

Teacher Gu Lin's heart seized with terror, and she trembled instinctively.

In that instant, she felt she had lost everything in heaven and earth, lost all her companions; everything around her vanished, leaving only herself alone, her whole body frozen in ice, all consciousness gone, like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

In that moment, Teacher Gu Lin understood clearly why the Dao Sons of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong feared the Great Sun Sword Son as one fears a tiger.

Clearly, each of them was the most outstanding product of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong's individual combat power, their talent surpassing even ancient imperial sons, yet still it was so. In the past she had been somewhat puzzled, believing their perception was lacking, that they were overly cautious.

Now everything was clear.

This was the reason!

That icy, terrifying gaze caused Teacher Gu Lin to instantly lose consciousness, standing frozen in place.

She did not know how long passed.

Perhaps a very long time, perhaps only an instant.

Teacher Gu Lin dimly saw a blood-red, longing gaze forcibly tear itself away from her; a figure flew off from here, no longer paying them any attention.

A hazy, indistinct voice came from the void.

"Do not again,"

"Please, do not, again, interfere with my battlefield."

That figure, carrying a surging, sky-high killing intent, pounced toward the dozens of imperial sons and the millions-strong army of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

……

Teacher Gu Lin was drenched in cold sweat; only after a very long while did she awaken from her state of total rigidity and blank mind.

Only then did she discover that her back had unknowingly been soaked through.

Just now, it seemed she had experienced some kind of terribly dreadful danger?

"Many thanks!"

"Many thanks, Dao Friend Gu Lin!"

Tianji Dao Son and the others walked over, bowing deeply, full of gratitude.

At the same time, they were greatly astonished within—the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect actually possessed a method to slightly restrain the Great Sun Sword Son who had already fallen into a state of utter madness; its accomplishments on the path of Dao heart and divine soul could not be underestimated.

One must know that, according to historical records, the Great Sun Sword Son in such a state had gone completely mad, lost all reason, retaining only pure killing will, and would not awaken until enough powerful beings had been slain.

Every time the Great Sun Sword Son awakened from slumber, it was the moment the Great Sun Sword Pavilion launched an inter-domain war; the Great Sun Sword cultivators swept across all directions—this had been the case throughout the ages, without exception, and was termed by the Great Sun Sword Pavilion the Sword Son's Resurrection Ceremony.

"We fight side by side; no need for such courtesy."

Teacher Gu Lin instinctively exchanged pleasantries, then asked: "Jiang Ding just said not to interfere with his battlefield… what does that mean?"

"Can I lead the Immortal Gate's fleet to help him?"

This was the quality and discipline of the Immortal Gate's army.

Even though Jiang Ding's current state was not quite right, she still wanted to help him, to eliminate the enemy faster and more safely, achieving the battle objective.

"Don't!"

"Please, Dao Friend, do not do so!"

Tianji Dao Son was startled greatly, waving his hands repeatedly.

Gu Lin Zi was now not just herself, but also an important factor that could stop the Great Sun Sword Son's madness and redirect his killing gaze back here—she could not be lost.

Seeing that Gu Lin Zi seemed puzzled, the surrounding Dao Sons hurriedly explained at speed.

"The path of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion has a tremendous flaw."

"Even in the eyes of their successive patriarchs, it was a blood-thirst worthy of pride."

Ji

Ji Liuyue said quickly, "Whatever this is, every Great Sun Sword Child must slay a powerful cultivator at regular intervals, otherwise they will fall into an uncontrollable state of madness. Of course, some Great Sun Sword Children seem to display even stronger self-control, and have no problem even if they go a very long time without killing."

"Jiang Ding Zi was like this in the past."

"But now, a full thousand years have already passed!"

"A thousand years!"

Ji Liuyue said solemnly, "A thousand years of accumulated killing-lust has reached a terrifying degree, enough to cloud his mind and plunge him into utter madness."

"He needs fresh blood, needs slaughter, needs death."

"For a Great Sun Sword Child, this is the supreme nourishment, an opportunity rarely seen in all the ages. Whoever helps him, or destroys his enemies, will never earn his gratitude; instead, it will draw down an undying, relentless hatred."

"Because you have stolen his opportunity!"

"Because you have lessened the miraculous elixir that would pull him back from his blood-crazed frenzy!"

"Very likely, it is precisely because of these few missing opportunities that his Great Dao will suffer grave obstruction!"

"How could this not enrage the Great Sun Sword Child?"

"Throughout the ages, everyone who has interfered in a Great Sun Sword Child's sword-duel has died, friend and foe alike."

"East Extreme Demon… this generation's Great Sun Sword Child seems to be a little different."

"Fellow Daoist interfered once, and was still completely unharmed — this is truly inconceivable."

Ji Liuyue said solemnly to Teacher Gu Lin Master Dinghai Zhenjun, "But he is already on the verge of his limit. If Fellow Daoist interferes in his battlefield again, and seizes his Great Dao opportunity once more, he is likely to lose his last shred of clarity, and bring a tremendous life-and-death crisis down upon you and me, at an enormous cost."

"In this way, does Fellow Daoist understand now?"

"Opportunity?"

Teacher Gu Lin Master Dinghai Zhenjun was startled.

I… am seizing his Great Dao opportunity?

She was silent for a long time.
