Chapter 726

~7 min read 1,343 words

At once, Old Ancestor White Camel deliberately put on the airs of a generation's grand master, ignoring Borhu's questioning.

Instead, he turned toward Yuchi Zhen and asked in a sinister tone,

"Boy, seeing a Wu Lin elder, you don't have even the most basic manners?"

Yuchi Zhen was afflicted by poison; even relying on his decent cultivation, the snake venom had not yet reached his heart for the moment.

But gathering his true essence, he clearly had no breath left to speak.

Old Ancestor White Camel said this only for the sake of so-called jianghu etiquette.

Of course, the most important thing was to humiliate Yuchi Zhen.

"I am not a man of the Wu Lin…"

Unexpectedly, Yuchi Zhen was quite stubborn; though his face was still ugly, he still squeezed these words from his mouth.

"Then does that mean you need not respect your elders?"

Old Ancestor White Camel still kept up his front, leaning on his age to act superior.

"Yuchi pays respects to the elder…"

After a while, Yuchi Zhen still could not rid himself of the snake venom, as if he had accepted his fate.

Right under the gaze of everyone, he actually raised both hands, lifted them above his head, and respectfully bowed to Old Ancestor White Camel.

"Very good, very good!"

Seeing him bow, Old Ancestor White Camel was smug and satisfied.

He really wanted to say to Meng Chixing and Bi Xuan, look, the man who gave you a hard time has been pinched by this old man!

It's just a pity those two were not present.

Thinking of his moment of triumph, he could not help stroking his beard and raising his head with a smile.

"Yuchi Zhen, how dare you…"

At this moment, Borhu below shouted loudly in rebuke.

In one breath, he pulled Old Ancestor White Camel, who had drifted to Lin Yunduan, back down to the ground.

532 Do you know the price of laying a hand on him?

It turned out that while Old Ancestor White Camel was floating on air from that respectful address of his,

Yuchi Zhen had suddenly raised his fist, ignoring the deadly poison in his body, and struck the great banner with one punch.

With that punch, he had used nearly all the true essence of his life.

All martial artists begin from the Absolute realm, slowly converting their true qi into true essence.

The so-called true essence is, in fact, tied to one's lifespan much of the time.

So long as true essence does not run dry, a martial artist can continue to live in the world.

Conversely, when one's lifespan is up, true essence will also gradually dry up and one will die.

With that punch, Yuchi Zhen used every bit of true essence he had currently converted.

One punch struck the great banner's pole, solid as bedrock; only a crisp snap was heard.

The five bones of his hand shattered inch by inch.

The force of the blow also caused the already teetering great banner to hold out no longer, breaking clean in two.

Boom…

After the banner pole broke, the great banner crashed down onto the viewing platform, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

Borhu's face changed several times; finally, he clenched his jaw and glared viciously at Old Ancestor White Camel,

"White Camel, look at the fine thing you've done! Once this general returns to his country, I shall certainly lodge a complaint against you before the Great Khan!"

The great banner being broken means the commander-in-chief has fallen in battle.

This battle can be said to be a defeat without being defeated.

Even if Yanmen Pass is taken, once this matter spreads in the future,

not only will the Great Yuan Realm mock him, Borhu, but probably every military man under the nine provinces of the world will mock him.

Therefore, in his fury, Borhu no longer used the respectful title for Old Ancestor White Camel, but referred to him simply as White Camel.

After all, Old Ancestor White Camel's true name, apart from himself, was known to no one.

"Brat, how dare you!"

Old Ancestor White Camel was rebuked to his face by Borhu like this, but knowing he was in the wrong, he did not dare retort in the slightest.

All his anger could only be vented upon Yuchi Zhen.

In his furious heart, his aura domain expanded rapidly.

From all directions, it surged toward Yuchi Zhen.

To break the great banner, Yuchi Zhen had shattered all the bones of his right hand with that one punch.

That punch truly left him emptied out within.

For a while, he could not recover.

So much so that although he felt the attacks coming from all sides, he was helpless and could only gaze into the distance.

That was the direction where Captain Chen and several hundred dare-to-die Tang Army soldiers were holding out; he said silently in his heart,

"Captain Chen, brothers, what a pity I could only cut down the great banner, not kill Borhu…"

With a sigh in his heart, he prepared to close his eyes and await death.

"Wait…"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Just as Old Ancestor White Camel's aura domain was about to sweep Lord Sikong into midair and kill him directly,

a streak of sword light actually split open his aura domain directly, and then a precious sword stood at Yuchi Zhen's side.

This treasured sword was like glass throughout its body, radiating endless divine radiance.

"This is... a Glass Sword?!"

Yuchi Zhen saw the sword and muttered, uncertain.

"Exactly! You do have some eye for things."

At this moment, Yi Tianxing's voice abruptly appeared beside Yuchi Zhen.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the Great Yuan's affairs — are you tired of living?!"

White Camel Old Ancestor had absolutely no sense of propriety, and once again raised his momentum domain.

This time, he deployed the full effect of his momentum domain; the various snake venoms mixed within were no longer held back, and he attacked straight at Yi Tianxing and Yuchi Zhen.

"Has he lost his mind?"

Yuchi Zhen had originally resigned himself to certain death, but when Yi Tianxing suddenly appeared, he inexplicably let out a breath of relief.

Seeing White Camel Old Ancestor not even asking a question and directly launching another attack at Yi Tianxing, he couldn't help gaping in astonishment.

Has this old fool practiced poison until it rotted his brain?

Clearly the other party didn't even use any domain-type divine ability, just controlled a treasured sword with his will and broke straight through your momentum domain.

Judging by this, his cultivation realm is probably far above yours, isn't it?

You don't even ask, and just attack directly?

Is White Camel Old Ancestor too stupid, or too confident?

Not to mention, if he knew the person before him was the November Hall Master of the Qinglong Society, wouldn't even Borhu collapse along with him!

In the flash of thoughts in his mind, he turned over these many ideas.

Yuchi Zhen looked at White Camel Old Ancestor with a hint of pity in his gaze.

White Camel Old Ancestor, in his fury, hadn't thought of so much.

When he saw that look in Yuchi Zhen's eyes, his rage flared even higher, and he completely ignored Yi Tianxing.

"What nerve! How dare you strike at me!"

Yi Tianxing didn't care at all — as the November Hall Master of the Qinglong Society, his cultivation far surpassed White Camel Old Ancestor's.

Such petty tricks were nothing in his eyes.

He lightly tapped the Glass treasured sword suspended in mid-air, sending a stream of true essence through it.

In an instant, the Glass treasured sword bloomed with waves of glass-like radiance.

On closer inspection, these rays of light looked like sharp sword qi.

The multicolored snake venoms were scattered away the moment these sword qi struck them.

Moreover, Yi Tianxing didn't hold back this time — with a single sword strike, he shattered White Camel Old Ancestor's momentum domain entirely.
