Chapter 213: Four Symbols Sealing, Military Sha Invincible

May 13th.

Tiefeng Mountain.

Today was the 72nd day since the Tiefeng Sect had its mountain sealed; from the establishment of the Tiefeng Sect to the present, this was something that had never happened before.

To everyone in the Tiefeng Sect, this was a supreme humiliation!

On the martial arts field at the top of the mountain, hundreds of Tiefeng Sect disciples practiced their saber techniques as usual, each shouting with every strike:

"Kill—"

Perhaps to vent the pent-up frustration in their hearts, the killing sounds from the martial arts field grew louder day by day, and the killing intent became more intense day by day!

Elder Wang stood at the edge of the martial arts field, watching the disciples whose momentum was as fierce as fire, a look of worry appearing in his eyes.

A moment later, taking advantage of a break for the disciples, he walked onto the high platform, his momentum like a rainbow:

"Good! Great momentum! Everyone, keep it up!"

After saying some words of encouragement to everyone, Elder Wang left the martial arts field with his head held high, then walked into a great hall with a grave expression to wait.

Over an hour later, Gu Xianfeng, dressed in a black robe with a powerful aura, walked out from behind the great hall.

He would seclude himself for cultivation at this time every day; if Elder Wang had something to find him for, he would wait in this great hall.

"Sect Master Brother."

Elder Wang saluted Gu Xianfeng.

"Something up?"

Gu Xianfeng asked directly.

Elder Wang looked worried: "Sect Master Brother, how long is this mountain sealing going to last? If this continues, I'm afraid the disciples below won't be able to hold on."

"If they can't even endure this bit of suffering, what talk is there of reaching the peak of martial arts?"

Gu Xianfeng looked indifferent.

Elder Wang said anxiously: "But if this continues, where will the face of our Tiefeng Sect be?"

Gu Xianfeng walked to the entrance of the great hall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky outside:

"The face of my Tiefeng Sect has always been taken only with the saber. It's just a mountain sealing; is it that you, Junior Brother, can no longer fight, or that I can no longer lift my saber? What is lost today, we will just take back with our sabers in the future."

Elder Wang was silent, and a moment later, he calmed down and saluted Gu Xianfeng:

"Brother is right to teach me."

Then he lowered his voice and said: "But will our affairs with that side be discovered?"

Gu Xianfeng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he turned to look at Elder Wang: "We have always done things very secretly; it shouldn't be discovered."

He paused and added:

"Even if it is truly discovered, it's just a small exchange of interests. Would Governor Bian Jingru really move against my Tiefeng Sect for such a trivial matter?"

Ever since the mountain was sealed, all contact between the Tiefeng Sect and the outside world had been cut off, so Gu Xianfeng didn't know about the investigation team's encounters in Datong Prefecture, nor was he clear about the immense pressure the investigation team had brought to Datong Prefecture during this time.

Elder Wang nodded upon hearing this.

The weight of a Martial Arts Master was already very heavy, not to mention that Gu Xianfeng was also a Martial Arts Master who possessed the supernatural ability of Cloud Treading. Since the war with the Western nations, the Great Lan Dynasty had placed even more importance on martial artists with the ability to fly and anti-air capabilities, so Gu Xianfeng's weight was even heavier than that of an ordinary Martial Arts Master!

Rationally speaking, Elder Wang felt that Gu Xianfeng's confidence was reasonable, but for some reason, there was always a haze in his heart.

Suddenly, Elder Wang noticed that the sky outside had become much darker, as if an invisible lid had suddenly been added, giving people a faint sense of oppression.

Before he could examine it carefully, Gu Xianfeng beside him had already stepped out of the great hall and disappeared instantly from where he stood.

"Sect Master Brother!"

Elder Wang hurriedly followed him out.

Gu Xianfeng arrived at the square outside the great hall, looked up at the sky above, his expression gloomy.

At this moment, the sky had become even dimmer, and that sense of invisible oppression was even more obvious; not only Foundation Establishment powerhouses like Gu Xianfeng and Elder Wang, but even ordinary disciples could clearly feel that something was wrong.

Gu Xianfeng took a step, and his whole body leaped into the air like a shooting star, after which a large mass of blue clouds formed out of thin air.

Relying on the Cloud Treading supernatural ability, he arrived hundreds of meters high in the sky in the blink of an eye.

Once in the air, that sense of oppression was a hundred times stronger than on the ground!

The higher he went, the greater the pressure Gu Xianfeng bore, as if countless stars in the universe were gathering together to press down on him!

This was the effect caused by magic arts, but it wasn't just giving people oppression on a mental level; it was truly affecting the surrounding airflow, and invisible forces gathering from all directions were crushing toward Gu Xianfeng.

Below the Possession Realm, magic arts could only cause influence on people at a mental level; once reaching the Possession Realm, one could attach implants to objects and refine them into magic tools, allowing magic arts to bypass the mind and begin to affect matter.

At this moment, what Gu Xianfeng encountered were the methods of a Possession Realm Great Mage, and not just one!

He turned his head to look to the east, where a flying sword was dancing rapidly, its blue sword light like a swimming dragon.

Looking to the west, there was a bronze drum, with fierce winds howling around it, the sound of the drum like a tiger's roar.

In the south, there was a white jade ruler, surrounded by a sea of fire, burning the sky red.

Finally, in the north, there was a mirror hanging high in the sky, surrounded by frost, as if space itself had been frozen.

"Four Symbols Constellation Sealing!"

Gu Xianfeng gritted his teeth and said word by word.

He saw that these four items were four magic tools; the flying sword in the east was the magic tool of Jiang Jin, Deputy Dean of the General Law Office, and this flying sword had once saved Li Fei.

The remaining bronze drum, white jade ruler, and mirror were the magic tools of the other three Possession Realm Great Mages of the General Law Office, respectively.

These four people joined forces to set up the formation, and this Four Symbols Constellation Sealing was clearly aimed at Gu Xianfeng, to prevent him from escaping using the Cloud Treading supernatural ability.

Gu Xianfeng looked down and saw teams of soldiers in heavy black armor climbing the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

The Imperial Camp Army, which had been at the foot of the mountain, was climbing!

First setting up the Four Symbols Constellation Sealing, then letting the Imperial Camp Army climb the mountain—this posture was already very obvious.

It was just that Gu Xianfeng couldn't understand why Governor Bian Jingru could truly take action against the Tiefeng Sect?

He roared, drew the saber at his waist, and slashed toward the sky above his head.

A large amount of blue cloud Qi surged out, gathering into a cloud pillar that continuously climbed upward, colliding.

This cloud pillar was like a pillar supporting the sky, reaching the firmament above and the Nine Netherworlds below, giving people a feeling that it could extend infinitely and was full of infinite power.

This was the perfect combination of a martial artist's "Essence," "Qi," and "Spirit," their own blood and Qi, internal force, and mental power.

Li Fei could only perform such an attack by relying on supreme arts like the "Vajra Eight Parts." And for a Martial Arts Master like Gu Xianfeng, every move was "Qi and force combined, force and intent combined, intent and Qi combined"!

Such an attack had a very strong restraining effect on magic arts, and the entire Four Symbols Constellation Sealing was shaken.

Gu Xianfeng chose to break the formation with all his might at the first opportunity, because he knew very well that only if he lived could the Tiefeng Sect have a glimmer of survival!

Just as the formation was shaking, a sword light with peerless momentum came from the east, like a blue dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Then the bronze drum in the west began to dance wildly, and countless wind blades gathered into a semi-transparent fierce tiger, pouncing toward this side.

In the south, the white jade ruler triggered changes in the sea of fire, and the sea of fire condensed into a giant bird, pouncing toward Gu Xianfeng.

In the north, countless frost melted, turning into a monstrous wave that swept over, with a giant turtle looming in the waves.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!

The Four Symbols Constellation Sealing triggered the strongest killing moves, just to hold Gu Xianfeng back.

Gu Xianfeng was surrounded by blue clouds, and despite the Four Symbols killing moves attacking him, he continued to control the huge cloud pillar to keep rising.

At the foot of Tiefeng Mountain, Jiang Jin, Deputy Dean of the General Law Office, who was in charge of presiding over the formation, sat cross-legged, surrounded by a pile of guards.

He kept his eyes closed, his expression growing graver.

Using a flying sword as a magic tool should have been a top-tier killing weapon, but the flying sword was affected by the Martial Arts Master's saber intent, internal force, and blood-Qi masculinity, causing the implants attached to it to be restless, resulting in greatly reduced power, unable to break through Gu Xianfeng's protective cloud Qi.

Before a magic tool refines a true spirit and becomes a life-bound magic tool, the path of magic arts is too restrained by martial arts.

Today, if no one else intervened, even if Jiang Jin brought three Possession Realm Great Mages to set up the formation in advance, he still wouldn't be able to stop Gu Xianfeng!

"Gu Xianfeng—"

At the top of the mountain, a voice resounded throughout the entire Tiefeng Sect.

"Why stand so high?"

A figure arrived at the top of the great hall where Gu Xianfeng had previously secluded himself.

"Xu Jing!"

On the square below, Elder Wang looked up at the person who had arrived, his expression livid.

The last time Wu'an University sent someone, it was Xu Jing; the other party's water-control supernatural ability just happened to restrain Gu Xianfeng's Cloud Treading supernatural ability, and after a bout of fighting, Xu Jing emerged victorious.

Today, Xu Jing came again, and with four Possession Realm Great Mages as helpers, the outcome would have no suspense at all!

"Sect Master Brother, run—"

Elder Wang shouted while leaping into the air, charging toward Xu Jing on top of the great hall with all his might.

He wanted to hold Xu Jing back to give Gu Xianfeng a chance to escape.

He also knew very well that in today's situation, only if Gu Xianfeng escaped could the Tiefeng Sect have a glimmer of survival.

There was no one who didn't fear a Martial Arts Master who was hiding outside and possessed flight capabilities!

Elder Wang was wrapped in dark golden internal force, like a shooting star crashing toward Xu Jing; as he was about to collide, he joined his hands, and a huge dark golden saber blade, over ten meters long, condensed and slashed down at Xu Jing from the air.

"I really gave you too much face."

Looking at Elder Wang who was attacking him, Xu Jing sneered.

He waved his hand very casually, and a dark blue internal force collided with the dark golden saber blade that had slashed down.

The next instant, the dark golden saber blade was covered in frost, and then shattered with a boom!

Elder Wang felt as if he had suddenly turned into an ordinary person, stripped naked and thrown into a world of ice and snow.

Everything before his eyes disappeared, leaving only vast white snow.

The bone-chilling cold made him forget everything, and the blood in his whole body was almost frozen!

When he came to his senses, he found that his blood had actually frozen.

"Pfft—"

Elder Wang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which instantly condensed into blood-red ice cubes after leaving his body.

The next second, blood-red ice thorns pierced out from all over Elder Wang's body, instantly turning him into a blood-red "hedgehog"!

He opened his eyes wide, looking at Xu Jing who was close at hand, then fell powerlessly from the air, finally hitting the ground and dying right there.

A 4th-tier Foundation Establishment powerhouse couldn't even hold on for one move in front of Xu Jing.

This was the uncrossable chasm between Foundation Establishment and a Martial Arts Master!

After killing Elder Wang in one move, Xu Jing continued to look up at Gu Xianfeng in the air, using his water-control supernatural ability to influence the other party, attempting to forcibly drag him down from the air.

At the same time, the disciples of the Tiefeng Sect also encountered the greatest crisis in history—

Teams of Imperial Camp Army soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding weapons had rushed to the top of the mountain, then shouted in unison:

"The Tiefeng Sect is colluding with Western spies and intends to rebel; everyone, stop resisting immediately, or be killed without mercy!"

These Imperial Camp Army soldiers totaled two hundred, and the weakest were Body-Breaking Realm martial artists.

If only counting the number of martial artists, the Tiefeng Sect disciples combined were not fewer than the number of people in this Imperial Camp Army, but the true strength of the Imperial Camp Army lay in the military formation:

Hundreds of people focused together, the heavy armor they wore and the weapons in their hands lit up with light, and then these hundreds of people slashed forward together.

The next second, a powerful and peerless saber intent was generated, instantly crossing a distance of hundreds of meters and descending upon dozens of Tiefeng Sect disciples.

These Tiefeng Sect disciples were shocked, as if they had been severely frightened, each becoming pale and losing their fighting spirit.

Some knelt on both knees, and others even rolled their eyes and fainted directly.

This was the sharp weapon that the Great Lan Dynasty relied on to dominate the world—Military Sha!

Hundreds of people used the Sha tools on their bodies to unify and integrate their mental power and spiritual power in an instant, and then erupted.

Military Sha was a power between magic arts and martial arts divine intent, or rather, a perfect combination of the two; it could be easily manifested like magic arts to affect matter, and it would not be restrained by a martial artist's "Essence," "Qi," and "Spirit."

Hundreds of Imperial Camp Army soldiers formed a military formation, and the Military Sha they unleashed was not much weaker than the saber intent fully erupted by a Martial Arts Master like Gu Xianfeng; those below the Qi-Changing Realm simply couldn't withstand it!

Struck by the Military Sha, the Tiefeng Sect disciples had no morale left and basically had no heart to resist.

"Kill—"

The Imperial Camp Army soldiers began to charge.

In fact, they were all cavalry, each possessing an exotic beast, the Azure Nightmare Horse, as a mount, but just to climb the mountain quickly, they didn't ride their mounts.

But even without mounts, the charging speed of these Imperial Camp Army soldiers was still shockingly fast, like a black tide, instantly sweeping over and drowning everything!

Military Sha could affect the enemy's mind externally, and internally, it could affect one's own physique, allowing the soldiers to receive positive stimulation, with their speed and strength greatly increased.

Being in the military formation and stimulated by the Military Sha, Body-Breaking Realm martial artists could exert the strength of Qi-Changing Realm martial masters in a short time!

So, although the Tiefeng Sect disciples seemed to be about the same in number as the Imperial Camp Army, in reality, the gap in strength between the two sides was worlds apart!

After the two hundred Imperial Camp Army soldiers went up the mountain, it took them less than ten minutes to complete the sweep of the Tiefeng Sect.

Not one person was their match under the saber!

Now, the only person left in the entire Tiefeng Sect still resisting was one—

"Saber King" Gu Xianfeng.

Seeking monthly tickets.

There is more tonight.
