Chapter 1045

It was just that he spoke wild words, claiming to have killed the Huangfu Sword Saint.

Presumably his technique, the Crimson Fire Pathless Sword Twenty-Three, was born from insights gained while fighting the Huangfu Sword Saint.

In the midst of battle, relying on a sword dao talent a notch above the Huangfu Sword Saint's, he glimpsed the mysteries of Sword Twenty-Three.

Then, while his mouth showed contempt, his body was very honest.

He actually fused his own Wu Gong with Sword Twenty-Three, creating this unknown Crimson Fire Pathless Sword Twenty-Three!

If you call him despicable—

Yet his sword dao talent is astonishing, and his brilliance is even more shocking.

To be able, through combat, to deduce another's ultimate move, then evolve it into his own technique and extrapolate an even stronger sword art.

This man is truly terrifying!

But if you call him noble—

Clearly he only defeated the Huangfu Sword Saint, who moreover escaped.

Yet he deceives himself, claiming he slew the Huangfu Sword Saint.

"Correct, it is this old man!"

Liusheng Wuji no longer hid his identity, smiling smugly as he said,

"This Crimson Fire Pathless Sword Twenty-Three is the most essential strike of this old man's life.

Since you style yourself a god, then take this strike!"

"Hmph! A mere Sword Twenty-Three—even if Senior Dugu stood before this sovereign, this sovereign would not fear him.

Let alone a petty thief like you who steals another's sword art!"

The Immortal God of Longevity directly called Liusheng Wuji a petty thief, his tone filled with contempt.

"What is Senior Dugu? How could you understand how this Crimson Fire Pathless Sword Twenty-Three differs from his Senior Dugu's Sword Twenty-Three!"

Being called a petty thief, Liusheng Wuji immediately felt indignant.

The grand, blazing Crimson Fire Pathless Sword Twenty-Three condensed ever faster.

When the two great extreme dao masters of the world were about to deliver this final, ultimate strike.

831 Why does it end so anticlimactically?

The Immortal God of Longevity snorted coldly and also drove the Demon God phantom image with full force.

God-level Maha Wuliang against the Crimson Fire Pathless Sword Twenty-Three!

Even in the Nine Provinces, such a duel would likely be unprecedented through the ages.

General Zhebie and General Chilaowen, while anxiously shielding themselves, also stole glances at the duel between the two great extreme dao powerhouses.

Just as these two great attacks were about to converge and clash.

Suddenly, at the horizon a hundred li away, a seven-colored rainbow light flared.

From that snow mountain, it pierced straight through heaven and earth.

"Ah? Tian Xiang Doukou!"

The two extreme dao powerhouses, who were preparing their ultimate strike, were both distracted by this seven-colored rainbow light at the same time.

With just one glance, they understood.

The treasure they were determined to obtain—the last Tian Xiang Doukou—had actually emerged in the snow mountain a hundred li away.

"Damnable! Seeing Meng Chixing, didn't you say the Tian Xiang Doukou was in the Heavenly Lake Peak Fire Lake?"

The Immortal God of Longevity raged furiously, no longer wanting to fight a pointless battle with Liusheng Wuji, and said outright in fury.

At the same time, Liusheng Wuji also withdrew the Crimson Fire Pathless Sword Twenty-Three and roared,

"Baga yarou! We've actually been tricked by that brat Zhu Wushi.

Gentlemen, immediately follow me to that place to seize the Tian Xiang Doukou!"

Saying so, Liusheng Wuji no longer paid any attention to the Immortal God of Longevity, and with a grand wave of his hand toward the distant snow mountain.

Then, ignoring everything else, he actually leaped straight into the air, transforming into a meteor, and rushed over at top speed.

After him, from within the Heavenly Lake Peak illusion array, You Dongying experts kept darting out one after another.

Among them were well-known You Dongying experts like Er Bao and Zhong Ba.

It seemed that this time You Dongying was truly determined to obtain the Tian Xiang Doukou.

"No, this sovereign cannot fall behind either.

You two wastes, hurry go check on Seeing Meng Chixing, then immediately rush over to this sovereign."

Seeing that the You Dongying people had all followed Liusheng Wuji, the Immortal God of Longevity was also unwilling to fall behind.

After giving General Zhebie and General Chilaowen their instructions, he too transformed into a meteor and chased after them into the distance.

General Zhebie and General Chilaowen could not help but feel lost and forlorn.

The promised duel between two great extreme dao powerhouses—how could it end so anticlimactically?

But seeing that even extreme dao powerhouses like the Immortal God of Longevity and Liusheng Wuji cared so much about the Tian Xiang Doukou,

the two exchanged a glance, both knowing they had underestimated the Tian Xiang Doukou.

Especially General Chilaowen, who felt his intestines turn green with regret.

After all, the Tian Xiang Doukou had once been right before him, yet to avoid exposing his identity and fearing mockery, he had handed it over to the young Emperor of Great Ming.

Had he known earlier how important the Tian Xiang Doukou was, at that time he would rather have exposed everything, fought his way out of the Great Ming capital, than let the young Emperor of Great Ming pick up such a bargain!

But in this world, there is ultimately no medicine for regret.

"General Chilaowen, you go meet up with Seeing Meng Chixing, I'll follow and take a look!"

General Zhebie reacted swiftly and immediately made arrangements.

In his thinking, General Chilaowen was now little better than crippled.

After all, according to what Liusheng Wuji said, the third Tian Xiang Cardamom was taken out by Zhu Wushi.

This also means that Zhu Wushi, Duan Tianya, and the others must be over there.

Even if General Chilaowen followed along, he'd most likely be the type who doesn't fight back when hit and doesn't talk back when cursed.

So what's the point of him going or not going?

On the contrary, General Zhebie himself currently has a great deal of resentment toward Seeing Meng Chixing.

If not for the order of the Immortal God, he'd probably want nothing more than to kill that old bastard.

Asking him to go and reinforce Seeing Meng Chixing — don't even think about it.

After making the arrangements, General Zhebie didn't wait for General Chilaowen's agreement, and directly leapt up, rushing at top speed toward the snow mountain a hundred li away.

General Chilaowen stared in stunned silence, and only after a long while did he realize the meaning of General Zhebie's arrangement.

Thinking about that snow mountain — if he really ran into Zhu Wushi and Duan Tianya over there, that would truly be miserable!

So at this moment, how would he dare think any further? He stepped straight into that Tianchi Peak.

……

In fact, regarding the third Tian Xiang Cardamom, the current Zhuge Shenhou has long known its location.

It's just that he also understands that the strange old monks behind him — not to mention their unclear purpose.

Even those warriors who came from the Nine Provinces are most likely secretly waiting for the third Tian Xiang Cardamom to appear in the world.

If he were to rashly go and take out the third Tian Xiang Cardamom himself, he'd likely be besieged by the Nine Provinces warriors on the spot.

For Zhuge Shenhou, who knows some of the uses of the Tian Xiang Cardamom, he naturally would not take such a great risk.

Therefore, in order to draw the attention of the other contenders, he deliberately sent out the Thirty-Six Yuan Tiangang and Seventy-Two Disha separately.

He deliberately spread the word that the third Tian Xiang Cardamom was currently in the Fire Lake of Tianchi Peak.

Everyone in the jianghu knows that Zhu Wushi's entire cultivation comes from the Fire Lake of Tianchi Peak.

Therefore, Zhuge Shenhou believed that once this news spread, anyone who had intercepted the Thirty-Six Yuan Tiangang and Seventy-Two Disha would surely believe it without a doubt.

Afterwards, most people would be deceived by this false news and rush to the Fire Lake of Tianchi Peak, fighting each other to the death.

Yet Zhuge Shenhou himself took the Four Great Secret Agents, disguised themselves along the way, and finally found the true location where the third Tian Xiang Cardamom was hidden.

Which was precisely a hundred li away from Tianchi Peak, beneath this nameless snow peak.

Following the intelligence, at the halfway point up the snow peak, he found a cave entrance.

He then took the Four Great Secret Agents together and entered this cave.

The average height of each peak of Tianshan is astonishingly great.

Therefore, snow accumulates year-round, and the cold cuts to the bone.

Yet this cave at the halfway point up the mountain felt somewhat mild the moment one entered.
