Chapter 493: Not Enough (Second Update)

Just as Ren Yidao was worrying about the critical situation, Mo Yushuang, who was below the stage, stared at the phantom for a moment before slowly turning around while clutching her sword.

There was no Evil Qi on her, yet her gait was extremely resolute, so much so that Ren Yidao, who was on the stage, wanted to shout for her to stay.

But he could not shout.

Not only could he not shout, he could not even look at her for a second longer.

He was still on the stage, and his relationship with Mo Yushuang was not very close; asking her to stay here would not only fail to keep her, but would also cause some people who hadn't noticed her to form some bad associations.

But just as Ren Yidao was pondering how to break the deadlock, someone spoke up for him.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, where are you going? We haven't finished our matches yet."

Gongyang Ke, who was sitting to the side with his eyes closed, spoke calmly, causing Mo Yushuang to stop and turn her head to look at him.

"I am going to help." Mo Yushuang's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion, as if she truly only wanted to provide assistance.

"Hahaha, no need. You have come from afar as a guest; it is better to leave this matter for my Sword Casting Pavilion to handle ourselves."

Gongyang Ke slowly opened his eyes, stared at her for a moment, and then laughed heroically. "Haha! If we let everyone help with such a small matter, what face would my Sword Casting Pavilion have to claim supremacy before the people of the world?"

"Fellow Daoist Mo, please do not make things difficult for us!"

"……"

Mo Yushuang's brows were tightly locked, and the sword in her arms was gripped tight then loosened; after a moment, she smoothed her brows and nodded.

"Since that is the case, very well."

Having said that, she sat back down in her original position and closed her eyes.

She did not look at Ren Yidao, not wanting to see any information in his eyes, and unwilling to be disturbed by him again.

If it were any other day, Mo Yushuang would never have compromised; she would certainly have personally exterminated this chaotic Demon.

But just as Gongyang Ke stopped her, she remembered the threat Ren Yidao had mentioned earlier.

The Divine Path Sect is most skilled at exterminating spiritual bodies...

This point, Mo Yushuang had already experienced firsthand.

Her previous defeat to Ren Yidao was not entirely a pretense; she had truly been forced to forfeit and admit defeat.

From the very start of the battle, Ren Yidao had disregarded everything else, not avoiding Mo Yushuang's attacks, and instead seeking her vital points.

All his killing moves were aimed solely at the long sword in her hand, and they were all illusory spiritual attacks, clearly intended to exterminate the remnant soul of Gongsun Changsheng.

Blood for blood, injury for injury; it didn't matter if you killed me.

Attack what the enemy must save!

You hit me, and I will hit your sword!

If you have the guts, kill me; otherwise, I will destroy your constant companion!

I will make you two star-crossed lovers completely separated by life and death!

Mo Yushuang giving up at that time was also because she felt the weakness of the Chang Sheng Sword and knew it could not hold out until Ren Yidao fell, so she had no choice but to do so.

And if Ren Yidao's cultivation in this path was already like this, then how could his Senior Sister, Jing Yueqin, a Demon cultivator with the strength of the No-Form realm, be any worse than him?

If she used the sword, Gongsun Changsheng would be in danger of having his soul scattered.

If she did not use the sword, Mo Yushuang had no confidence in taking down Jing Yueqin at all.

Weighing the two, for the sake of Gongsun Changsheng's safety, Mo Yushuang made a choice that went against her usual style.

Let's just wait a little longer...

If the Sword Casting Pavilion cannot handle it and lets her run away, I will strike then...

Humans are not sages; who can be without fault?

As long as one is human, one has selfish motives.

Even a Gold Blade Blade Catcher has her own selfish motives, unwilling to let her Dao companion take such risks.

Chang Sheng is already like this; I cannot lose him again.

Gongyang Ke's move for the sake of his sect's face had, by a stroke of luck, kept Mo Yushuang, allowing Ren Yidao on the stage to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Mo Yushuang's strength might not necessarily pose a great threat to the real Jing Yueqin, as long as she did not strike and did not identify that person as Jing Yueqin, the situation would be much better.

However, at such a critical moment, where on earth did that Jing woman run off to!?

Damn it, she never lets anyone rest easy.

Once I catch you this time, I will definitely make you fully experience the anger of your junior brother!!!

Just as Ren Yidao was thinking about how to punish that disobedient Senior Sister, Yu Hongjian, who was opposite him, spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist Ren, you are distracted; our battle is not over yet."

The old beggar sat cross-legged on the top of his upright cane, looking leisurely and carefree.

"I actually think it's already over; anyway, you have only been defending and not attacking, so you will be defeated sooner or later." Ren Yidao curled his lips, completely ignoring the appearance the other party was deliberately putting on.

Old geezer, what are you pretending for?

Do you think I don't know if you're in pain?

Their battle had been completely reversed.

Ren Yidao, at the Foundation Establishment realm, was attacking to his heart's content, while Yu Hongjian, at the No-Form realm, was blindly defending and taking hits, not fighting back at all.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Ren is still too young and too impatient."

Yu Hongjian laughed loudly, swaying back and forth with the movement of his cane, and picked his ear with a smile:

"I admit that Fellow Daoist Ren's strength is powerful, but until you reach the Heaven Realm, you will never be able to understand the true meaning of this level."

"Gongyang Ke gambled with you, Ying Tengjiao's carelessness led to his own backlash, and Mo Yushuang has her reservations; because these three were defeated by you for various reasons, do you think you can be mentioned in the same breath as the No-Form realm?"

"Just relying on your tongue won't be able to break my Protective Divine Art! Your skills are not enough yet, haha."

"Heh."

Ren Yidao curled his lip and snorted coldly; he stopped thinking about that thief and decided to beat this old geezer up first.

"Fine, since you requested it, I will satisfy you."

"I will completely shatter your turtle shell."

Old man, you asked for this yourself!

Don't go crying when it hurts in a moment!

Yu Hongjian looked at Ren Yidao's increasingly dangerous expression and felt that the situation seemed a bit different.

Wasn't he already using his full strength just now?

……

……

Outside the Scripture Pavilion of the Sword Casting Hut.

"Senior Uncle, this junior is incompetent and let that thief... escape!" a gray-bearded Elder said with shame and indignation.

He lay on the ground, looking miserable; his dominant right arm had been crushed from the root, and the Giant Hammer he had refined for many years had also been smashed to pieces.

"How could this be!?"

Another Elder who had rushed over was furious; upon seeing his state, he had no time to reprimand him and hurriedly asked after stopping his bleeding.

"Where did that thief go!?"

"East! She ran outside the mountain gate... *cough cough! * She, she even killed Junior Brother Wings! Senior Uncle, you must avenge them!!!"

After saying the last sentence with his remaining strength, the Elder fainted and lay in a pool of blood.

"Ahhhhh!!! Damn it!"

"That thief!!!"

"I, Gongyang Dai, will not coexist with you!!!"

The tearful old man flew up and charged toward the east, determined to catch the thief who had killed his disciple!

He would definitely tear her into ten thousand pieces!!!

……

Sword Casting Hut, inside the Wan Jian Xia Secret Realm.

The figure of the masked girl, whom the Sword Casting Hut Elder had claimed was fleeing outside the mountain gate, appeared and crushed the Jade Pendant in her hand used for signaling.

The Secret Realm isolated communication between the inside and outside, but as soon as this jade was crushed, the other party would know simultaneously, understanding that she had arrived safely.

"Hoo..."

And just as this girl relaxed, a whistle sounded behind her.

"Yo~"

!!!

How could there be someone here!?

The masked girl did not expect this situation; she turned around abruptly, her killing intent erupting as she looked at the person behind her.

That person was sitting in the shadow of a dilapidated hut, her face unclear, only a black robe visible; she was waving her hand leisurely at this moment.

"Don't be nervous, are you also sneaking in during the chaos? I didn't expect someone to be as daring as me; this is truly great! We are accomplices now, so even if we get caught later, I won't be the only one getting scolded... Hmm?"

The pleasant voice stopped halfway, then suddenly gave a strange, light exclamation: "Wait... why do you look so much like me?"

Jing Yueqin blinked, feeling as if she were looking into a Mirror.

She only felt surprised, but the masked girl could only feel horror.

How could she be here!?

Shouldn't she be at the Divine Path Sect!?

What are those guys in charge of intelligence doing!?

!!!

Seeing her guarded and panicked appearance, Jing Yueqin suddenly laughed.

"Hehe, I originally just wanted to find a place to properly digest... I didn't expect to run into something like this."

Jing Yueqin stared at the masked red-haired girl opposite her, her smile extremely cordial.

"Are you imitating me?"

Her nose twitched, her eyes lit up slightly with a faint blood color, and she licked her lips, her smile becoming even more enchanting.

"You also killed someone."

"So, are you trying to frame me? Let me take the blame for you?"

!!!

The masked person did not answer; she turned around without hesitation, intending to exit from Wan Jian Xia.

But the moment she turned, she felt a weight on her shoulder, and a low laugh sounded in her ear:

"Don't be in such a rush to leave, I'm asking you a question."

Before the masked girl could react, she heard the voice behind her change from joyful to indifferent.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Crack!

"Ugh!"

The girl let out a muffled groan; in an instant, her left knee was completely shattered, and then, beneath the black robe, her entire body collapsed to the left.

"You still won't speak? Are you unable to talk?"

Although she had suffered heavy injuries, the masked girl did not panic; killing intent flashed in her eyes but was forcibly suppressed, and a Talisman appeared in her hand.

Cannot stay long, leave first!

I will kill her to take revenge in the future!!!

The woman was just about to crush the Talisman that had appeared in her hand, but she suddenly discovered... her entire palm had already shattered, and the Talisman was now in someone else's hand.

"A Teleportation Talisman? And the kind that can even be used inside a Secret Realm?" Jing Yueqin toyed with the Talisman and whistled, "Good stuff, it's mine now; my little junior brother will definitely find a use for it."

The masked woman's eyes widened, and fear grew wildly in the depths of her Heart Star.

How did she do it?

How could I possibly have no ability to resist at all!!?

Her strength...

Jing Yueqin did not care about the thoughts in her Heart Star; she grabbed her by the hair and lifted her directly off the ground as if she were lifting a beast.

She tore off her veil and, as expected, saw a face identical to her own.

"Mmph!!!"

She let the masked woman struggle violently, unable to bear the humiliation, and after calmly observing for a moment, she suddenly sneered.

"Pfft!"

"Wrong, your disguise doesn't look like me at all!"

Jing Yueqin laughed out loud amidst the masked woman's puzzled gaze, puffed out her chest, swayed from side to side, and smugly showed off.

"Not enough!"

"It's not big enough at all!"

Six thousand words updated.

It's a bit late; I really wasn't in the zone today, I'm feeling unwell...

But although it's late, the amount is still sufficient.
