Chapter 909

It was precisely this Wu Zhou world, the contemporary inheritor of Pudu Cihang Jingzhai, the foremost orthodox sect.

Cangqu was extremely disdainful in his heart.

The Nine Provinces World also had Pudu Cihang Jingzhai, but their founder Dini, the so-called Pudu Cihang Sword Canon, all originated from the demonic notes he himself had left behind.

Moreover, what Dini had seen was not even Cangqu's original version.

Instead, it was the Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Art, and the Demonic Miscellany, that Xie Tiao had compiled and left behind.

It could be said that what Dini obtained was in truth vastly inferior to Cangqu's.

Dini of the Nine Provinces World, together with Pudu Cihang Jingzhai, had all been wiped out by the Qinglong Society.

Only Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao, the two women, had narrowly escaped by throwing in with the Xuanxinzheng Sect.

Therefore, no matter how lofty Pudu Cihang Jingzhai's standing in the Wu Zhou world, in Cangqu's eyes it was not worth mentioning.

As he was thinking thus, suddenly from within the shattered fragments, a strange flash of light appeared.

"This is……"

Cangqu's heart gave a great surge of alarm; he immediately drove the demon seed with full force, unfurling the Heavenly Demon Field to stand ready.

Whoosh!

A clear cry of a sword rang out; the next instant, a streak of sword-light shot out from within the fragments, hurtling toward Cangqu at great speed.

Even though Cangqu had unfurled the Heavenly Demon Field, this streak of sword-light, for some unknown reason, directly ignored the Heavenly Demon Field and reached to within two inches of Cangqu's chest.

"Damnable wretch! The vile women of Pudu Cihang Jingzhai."

Cangqu roared in fury, employing a demonic art called Yin Wind Howl.

This Yin Wind Howl was formless and intangible, and was accompanied by the strange power of the demon seed.

At once, that razor-sharp streak of sword-light was also frozen in place.

"Mm……"

Just as the sword-light had frozen, the sound of the immortal embryo stirring within the womb rang out once more.

At this critical moment, the demon seed suddenly gave a violent shudder and once again lost its efficacy.

At the same time, that streak of sword-light seized the chance to swell again, and from its thrust toward Cangqu's heart, swept sharply upward, suddenly stabbing toward Cangqu's brow.

Sword Heart Radiance!

Cangqu only felt his head grow somewhat dizzy; that world-shaking demonic art could no longer be unleashed to any great effect.

For a time, the divine sense within Cangqu's heart was temporarily suppressed by the inheritor of Jingzhai through Sword Heart Radiance.

The demon seed, being two sides of the same whole as the immortal embryo, was held in check by the immortal embryo.

"Now is the moment!"

Dixin rejoiced greatly; the chance had finally appeared.

This peerlessly ferocious demon was bound to perish here and now.

At once, the three great monk-saints unleashed their most fearsome attacks, all of them bearing down on Cangqu.

Wu Zetian, watching from afar, could not help but feel shocked.

Who was Cangqu!

He was the chief guardian-supplier of the Great Tang, one of the rare masters of the Nine Provinces World.

Why, having come to this Wu Zhou world, had he instead fallen into crisis?

If Cangqu were truly to be captured here by these experts of the Wu Zhou world—

She herself would likely fall back into being someone else's puppet, perhaps even worse off than before.

Thinking thus, Wu Zetian's heart was filled with despair.

At this point, she suddenly raised her head to look at the sky, not knowing what she was looking at, only silently reciting in her heart,

"This time, even in death, I will never be a puppet again.

Ximen Wudi, we can only meet again in the next life."

At this thought, Wu Zetian's figure stirred, and she actually charged toward the very core of the battle.

If death it was, then so be it; she was an empress in her own right—how could she forever be another's puppet, manipulated by others?

"Ah! Not good."

The inheritor of Jingzhai, who had not spoken all this while, saw Wu Zetian charging in and could not help being greatly alarmed.

She could no longer bother with suppressing Cangqu, and instead wanted to withdraw a good deal of her strength from the fight.

Dixin and the other two great monk-saints also felt sudden bewilderment.

Though they did not know Wu Zetian's true identity, they were all masters of reading qi, and could naturally perceive the thick, abundant mandate of fortune upon her.

Now this woman, heedless of life or death, was charging toward them.

If they truly mishandled things and killed her, under the backlash of that mandate, even the three great monk-saints might not be spared.

Yet Cangqu was a foe whom the four great monk-saints together with the inheritor of Jingzhai had spent how much effort and cost to finally force into such a state.

If they were soft-hearted and let this peerlessly ferocious demon break free—

When that time came, there would be no one left to restrain him!

Therefore, letting the demon go would be no different from seeking death.

"Miss Duanmu, you must not waver lightly; this is our final chance to slay the demon."

Thinking thus, and seeing the hesitation of the Jingzhai inheritor Duanmu Ling, Dixin immediately spoke out.

Then, exchanging a glance with Daoxin and Jiaxiang,

"Fellow senior brothers, today we shall sacrifice our lives to slay the demon, for the welfare of all under heaven; may we in the next life once more discuss the Buddha and martial arts with you both."

"Well said, well said!"

What Dixin thought—was it not also what Daoxin and Jiaxiang thought?

The two men's faces showed no fear of death, but rather were filled with joy and compassion.

That terrifying ultimate move — the three of them held back no longer.

Miss Duanmu had wanted to say something more, but seeing the three great monks resolved to sacrifice themselves for righteousness,

After much deliberation, she ultimately continued to deploy her Immortal Fetus and Sword Heart Clarity, suppressing Cang Qu.

Although Wu Zetian was extremely important to this world, a snake not beaten to death would surely bring calamity back upon them.

Wu Zetian saw that the four-person assault was terrifying beyond measure, yet she felt not the slightest fear.

She no longer wished to live, and plunged straight into the heart of the battle.

Just as she arrived, the attacks of the three great monks had already reached from all directions.

Seeing the ferocious, utterly unavoidable attacks before her eyes, Wu Zetian gently closed her eyes,

"Farewell! Ximen Wudi!"

But the imagined agony of her body being torn apart by those terrifying attacks never came.

Wu Zetian was puzzled — Cang Qu clearly no longer had any strength to fight back, had he not?

She opened her eyes, only to find a figure standing before her, she knew not when.

This person lightly raised a single palm and received all three great monks' attacks in full.

Then with a casual flick, Miss Duanmu, who had been suppressing Cang Qu for so long, immediately coughed blood and was sent flying backward.

"Who are you, sir? Why make an enemy of the righteous path of the Wu Lin?"

This person's actions were truly earth-shattering.

After all, the three great monks were all supreme experts at the mid stage of the Mythical Realm.

The three attacks contained the lifetime Buddhist teachings and Wu Gong of all three — truly their strongest strikes.

How could these three attacks have been received so casually by this person?

"Damnable wretch from Pudu Cihang Jingzhai!"

At this moment Cang Qu had finally broken free of Miss Duanmu's suppression and come back to his senses.

With a fierce cry, just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly noticed the person standing before Wu Zetian and could not help but take a look.

"You are…"

He had barely begun when that person turned his head and glanced at Cang Qu with calm, breezy nonchalance.

"Xi…"

Cang Qu cried out involuntarily, then immediately came to his senses — heedless of the present occasion, he bowed and paid his respects,

"Cang Qu pays respects to the Great Dragon Head, and thanks the Great Dragon Head for saving my life."
