Chapter 939: Honghuang Boils

"What, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has been sealed off!"

The Shushan disciples were greatly alarmed.

Yin Xi was also both shocked and furious; he suddenly realized the danger.

Without the replenishment of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the Small Twofold Dust Array would inevitably collapse, and when that time came, ten Golden Immortal-level Warships and twenty Golden Immortals would surround and kill them; none of them would be able to escape.

Unless the Sect Master took action personally.

But even Chen Nan had not appeared; would the Sect Master take action first?

If the Sect Master appeared first, it would mean the Ren Sect was a move behind and had been manipulated by the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

Immediately following this, he discovered another desperate fact: the surrounding space had also been sealed, and even he could not tear through space, let alone use a Teleportation Array or a Space-Breaking Talisman.

This meant the Shushan Sword Sect had already become a turtle in a jar.

"Sect Master, what should we do?"

The various elders looked toward Yin Xi one after another.

What Yin Xi could think of, they naturally had all thought of as well.

They could only offer a Prayer now.

A Prayer that the Sect Master would appear before the Small Twofold Dust Array collapsed; otherwise, they would only be able to die as martyrs for the Ren Sect.

As for breaking out, that was simply unrealistic.

Ten Golden Immortal-level Warships, twenty Golden Immortals—relying just on their five Golden Immortals, how could they break out?

Never mind the talk about Sword Immortal attack power being the best in the world.

A Sword is merely a type of weapon.

The truly formidable ones are the people.

"Wait!"

Yin Xi gritted his teeth and said, "At the same time, everyone prepare for a death battle."

If the Small Twofold Dust Array broke and the Sect Master still had not appeared, they would have no other choice but a death battle.

All the elders felt their bodies tremble.

But the other disciples did not have such good psychological fortitude.

Watching the protective shield shake more and more severely, as if it could collapse at any moment, many disciples could not help but reveal looks of despair, with some even having trembling legs and deathly pale faces.

They felt that the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the sect was dropping sharply.

An elder said abruptly, "Sect Master, let's kill our way out; we cannot wait any longer. If we wait until the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is exhausted by the Mountain Protection Array and they choose to attack from a distance, we will only be left to stretch out our necks for the slaughter."

For cultivators, the higher the cultivation, the better they are at borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth.

Or more accurately, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Basically, all Immortal arts use one's own Immortal power as a guide to gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for one's own use.

If there is no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the surroundings, casting Immortal arts can only rely entirely on one's own mana to drive them, and the consumption will climb tenfold, making it impossible to sustain.

In the end, it will be the same as the Small Twofold Dust Array, collapsing because the Spirit Qi is exhausted.

Rather than that, it would be better to charge out now.

Even if they die, they must die heroically.

"Yin Shang!"

Yin Xi gritted his teeth.

He had never imagined that before Zhang Shaokang had even taken action, he would have forced the entire Shushan Sword Sect into such a Forbidden Land.

Without much hesitation, he quickly made up his mind and shouted sharply, "Disciples of Shushan, hear my order. The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty acts against the natural order and is intolerable to Heaven and Earth; everyone follow this Daoist and kill. Execute the tyrannical Shang, uphold the Righteous Dao."

He shouted sharply, unleashing the divine ability of Human-Sword Unity, transforming into a Heaven-reaching Immortal Sword, and killed toward Zhang Shaokang.

"Kill!"

Seeing their Sect Master be the first to charge out, the entire Shushan Sword Sect could only bite the bullet and follow.

Yin Xi, who had unleashed Human-Sword Unity, was very strong. Below the Great Luo, I am afraid there are not many in the entire Honghuang who could receive this sword.

Zhang Shaokang just watched indifferently, without the slightest intention of taking action, because he had already issued an order to the ten Golden Immortal-level Warships, and ten rays of destructive Divine Light bombarded the Heaven-reaching Immortal Sword.

Boom—!

Under the attack of the ten Golden Immortal-level Warships, Yin Xi was forcibly knocked out of the state of Human-Sword Unity.

Only then did Zhang Shaokang take action.

He was seen taking a large stride forward, throwing a punch toward Yin Xi, as if a Heavens World were falling.

Bang!

"Ah..."

Yin Xi screamed, his body instantly shattering and turning into a mist of blood filling the sky.

Amidst the sky-filling blood mist, a black-and-white Primordial Spirit rushed into the sky in a panic, wanting to escape.

But how could Zhang Shaokang let him go?

Just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly felt his Primordial Spirit trembling, a great terror rising from the depths of his heart, and almost without thinking, he retreated frantically.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... books....!

But a finger emerged from the void, continuing to poke toward him.

This finger sealed all his paths of retreat.

Bang! Bang!

This finger did not look very large, but it emitted an extremely terrifying aura; the thousands of Martial Hall disciples who were somewhat close exploded right where they stood, without even being able to let out a scream.

Zhang Shaokang's pupils dilated, and a look of despair arose in his heart.

Just at this moment, the void shook.

A sense of Shattering Vacuum swept over, and that finger collapsed with a boom under this power, turning into brilliant Immortal Light that erupted and sent everyone present flying.

Zhang Shaokang let out a long sigh of relief.

He knew it must have been the Great Officiant Chen Nan who had acted.

But very quickly, his pupils constricted and he revealed a look of horror, as if he had seen a Ghost, because the one who walked out from the void was not the Great Officiant Chen Nan, but... the Great King!

Not only Zhang Shaokang, but everyone present, including the countless people in the livestream room, were all in a state of bewilderment.

They stared blankly at Yin Qi, who stood with his hands behind his back in the void; he wore a white Xuan Bird imperial robe, his figure was upright, and his gaze was sharp, completely devoid of his usual scholarly air, replaced instead by vast and mighty imperial prestige.

Just standing there, he seemed like a natural-born emperor, before whom all living beings of Honghuang, the sun, the moon, and the stars must prostrate.

Yin Qi's expression was cold and stern; his gaze pierced through countless spaces to lock eyes with Laozi, who was far away in the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, and he said coldly, "Laozi, you are a Saint after all, yet you actually stoop to attack a Golden Immortal; have you no shame left at all?"

Yin Qi's words awakened everyone.

Subsequently.

The present was boiling, and Honghuang was also boiling.

"Gr... Gr... Great King, how could it be the Great King? Isn't the Great King a mortal?"

"Holy crap, what is going on? This battle not only blasted Laozi out, but it actually blasted Di Qi out too? Can someone tell me what is happening?"

"Ah, my head hurts; I feel like my brain isn't enough. Di Qi isn't a mortal? How does it look like he just exchanged a move with Laozi? That's a Saint!"

"Hiss, it's a dream, I must be dreaming, I haven't woken up yet!"

"Heavens, heavens, with the Dao Ancestor above and the Demon Ancestor below, Di Qi is actually a Quasi-Saint level powerhouse? This joke has gone too far!"

"Goodness, isn't it true that the Human Emperor cannot cultivate immortality? Could it be that Di Qi has been possessed?"

"Possessed my foot. Which Quasi-Saint has nothing better to do than to possess the Human Emperor, and then dare to speak so disrespectfully to Laozi? Is he tired of living?"

"Eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how impossible it seems, it must be the truth: he is Di Qi! But how on earth did he cultivate? To reach the Quasi-Saint level at only forty-something years old, and even be able to exchange moves with Laozi. You must know that even Laozi's Good Corpse is a Peak Quasi-Saint; how could a casual strike be anything ordinary!"

"This poor Daoist suddenly has a bold speculation: the former Yang God, Chen Zhan, Chen Zhan—could it be that they were all Di Qi? He had long since cultivated to a Golden Immortal, or even a Quasi-Saint, but he had always kept it hidden. Only now has he been forced to step onto the stage."

"Hiss, if that is true, doesn't that mean the original Fengshen War was always under the manipulation of Di Qi, and he played all the Saints in the palm of his hand?"

It must be said that there is no shortage of smart people in the world.

With everyone throwing in their words, they almost deduced the truth. (End of this chapter)
