Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Cold Moon Hook (Happy New Year!)

Lv Ruixing moaned, waking up.

In an instant, her complexion changed dramatically, and she scanned her entire body.

When she realized that her clothes were still intact and her fellow senior sister was sound asleep beside her, she released a long sigh of relief.

"You’re awake,"

a voice said.

She saw the Peach Blossom Thief, Lin Ruyu, smiling mischievously at the side, toying with the Five Poison Peach Barrier, "Listen, girl, if you don’t want me to mess you up in eighteen different ways, quickly hand over the true inheritance of your sect. One of the Taiyi’s Six Methods, give me one and I’ll release one, give two, release two pairs..."

Lv Ruixing had just been frightened out of her wits by Lin Ruyu’s threat, and then hearing this, she couldn’t help but say, "The Six Methods of Taiyi, only our master has received the true transmission, how could we have it?"

Zhong Shenxiu knew that this region of the world had no restrictions on divine consciousness.

These major sects used another method to keep their cultivation techniques confidential.

Only Refining Gang Elders or Core Formation True Men are privy to the complete scriptures of the Six Methods of Taiyi.

Someone like Lv Ruixing, a junior, could at most learn a simplified and fragmented version of the methods; even if captured and interrogated, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes, "What use are you two little girls then? Just kill them and refine the method!"

With a strange cackle, he nearly frightened Lv Ruixing into fainting.

She didn’t know why, but upon waking up, the Peach Blossom Thief seemed more ferocious than before.

Killing so rashly, was this the same Peach Blossom Thief known for indulging in pleasures?

At this moment, from the sky came a light shout, "Demon, how dare you lay your hands on my disciple!"

A bolt of lightning struck where Zhong Shenxiu had just been standing, turning an ancient tree into fine powder.

A beautiful woman gracefully landed with her sword held across her chest.

She was extremely beautiful, but her slanting brows carried a hint of murderous intent; she was clearly a Core Formation Grandmaster!

The place was close to the gates of the Taixu Sect, and the commotion had finally drawn the attention of a great cultivator.

Seeing this woman, Lv Ruixing exclaimed with joy, "Master... this little thief... is the Peach Blossom Thief!"

This grim woman was none other than their master, known as the ’Leng Yue Immortal,’ a Core Formation Grandmaster of the Taixu Sect!

As a major sect in the Southern Wilderness, the Taixu Sect had thirteen Core Formation cultivators and even an ancestor who had achieved a top-grade Golden Core.

This Leng Yue Immortal, who cultivated one of the Six Methods of Taiyi, the ’Taixu Moon Concealing Sword Technique,’ had a middle-grade Golden Core and had refined the ’Cold Moon Hook.’ She was ruthless and formidable, her temper fiery as she dearly loved her two disciples she had raised since childhood. Seeing her disciples almost in great danger, she sharply commanded,

"Lin Country Peach Blossom Thief? This thief should be killed with one strike!"

Instantly a flying sword with a cold moon-like hook swept out, producing an unusual arc of Bright Sword Light about three to four zhang long.

One of the Six Methods of Taiyi, the Taixu Moon Concealing Sword Technique, was as exquisite as the True Inheritance of swordsmanship from the orthodox Xuanmen, and the flying sword it controlled was hook-shaped, carrying variations more bizarre than typical swordsmanship.

With this sword technique and the Cold Moon Hook Flying Sword, even if she went to Da Jing, she would be a well-known Sword Immortal!

"This fairy is also a great beauty; too bad she’s a bit too feisty..."

Zhong Shenxiu, entirely committed to his performance, while being frivolous, stimulated his mana and the Five Poison Peach Barrier autonomously lifted into the air, transforming into a deadly poison cloud brightly colored and interspersed with blossoming peach and plum flowers, along with the illusion of five poisons lurking within, impeccably secured within.

"Hmm, the Dharma treasures of this world are indeed different from those in Seven Luminaries Heaven..."

While manipulating this magic artifact, Zhong Shenxiu felt that the method of refining treasures in this world differed from that of the Seven Luminaries Heaven.

In Seven Luminaries Heaven, a spell or divine power is embedded within the artifact, which is why both magic artifacts and Dharma treasures perform very specific functions.

Within the Five Poison Peach Barrier, there existed the Daoist prohibitions as numerous as the sands of the Heavenly River, which had been ingeniously combined together.

Had it not been for having read the "True Peach Blossom Scripture" and simulated the cultivation of the Daohua Thief using the Thousand Transformations Divine Power, it would have been absolutely impossible to utilize the various magical functions of this artifact.

This artifact could not only trap people but also serve as a vehicle frame, carrying cultivators in flight.

Moreover, it could also be used as a protective dharma treasure; it could be said that its uses were limited only by one’s mind.

These Ancient Method Cultivators, although they also practiced spells and Divine Skills, mostly preferred to use flying swords and magic artifacts against their enemies.

Probably because their spells were relatively weak.

Not every cultivator, like the new method cultivators, could employ seventeen inherent techniques and possess many Divine Skills upon reaching the Divine Power Realm.

Cultivators in this world who reached the Core Formation level, often only possessed one Divine Skill, which made their methods of confronting enemies rather limited, naturally necessitating the use of flying sword treasures for protection against enemies.

When Leng Yue Fairy saw her own sword light fall into the poison miasma of the Five Poison Peach Barrier and silently vanish, she was shocked, and exclaimed, "My Xuanmen Orthodox Sword Qi, which overcomes evil spirits, why does it not affect you?"

If Mr. Daohua were still the incompetent person he was before, with one strike from this cold and beautiful Daoist nun, ten Lin Ruyus would have died.

But Zhong Shenxiu was different.

He thought for a moment, then also flew out of the peach blossom barrier and sternly shouted, "I, Lin someone, have already formed my core!"

As he bellowed, from behind his head, a peach-colored inner core also emerged, suddenly releasing a Divine Skill!

This Divine Skill was also the innate Divine Ability nurtured by most Peach Blossom Cultivators after their Core Formation, known as — Falling Blossom Chaos!

Once the Divine Skill was deployed, in the void, numerous peach blossoms the size of bowls bloomed splendidly, transforming into falling petals.

The sky was filled with dancing peach blossom petals, quite a sight to behold.

Leng Yue Fairy twirled her sword, protecting her entire body with the bright sword light, and couldn’t help but curse, "Heaven is blind, to actually let you, a flower-picking thief, achieve Core Formation!"

"I, now a Core Formation Ancestor as well, will one day ascend to the White Water Sect! To avenge the arrow of that day!"

Zhong Shenxiu, while outwardly brimming with high spirit, inwardly muttered, ’The effect of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability should have passed; I better take down this girl now, otherwise, if other Taixu Sect cultivators come to support, I will unavoidably... reveal myself!’

The Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability was a transformation Divine Skill and did not need continuous operation.

One deployment could last several hours.

Previously, Zhong Shenxiu first simulated the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability with the Thousand Transformations Divine Power, changing his appearance.

Then he withdrew the Divine Skill, but the effects of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability were still present, so he continued to maintain the appearance and aura of Lin Ruyu.

Finally, he again simulated the Falling Blossom Chaos Divine Skill with the Thousand Transformations Divine Power.

Thus, even if a cultivator from the White Water Sect, who was deeply familiar with the Daohua Thief, was present, he would only think that Lin Ruyu, having fused tiger and dragon energies and formed his golden core, had transformed into a Daohua Ancestor.

But since the Yin Yang Peach Fortune Pill was merely of the lowest quality, Zhong Shenxiu managing to stop Leng Yue Fairy could still be considered as an exceptional performance, but annihilating the Taixu Sect would be rather insulting to the intelligence of cultivators.

With this thought, Zhong Shenxiu let out a long howl, the petals condensed, transforming into a giant hand, and reached out for Leng Yue Fairy.

Leng Yue remained unafraid, preparing to deploy her Sword Technique to slice at the giant hand.

However, in the next moment, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly released his Primordial Pill Fruit Position, releasing and retracting it instantly.

This suppression came silently; Leng Yue Fairy only felt her normally infallible Sword Control Divine Skill suddenly malfunction, as if her mana had gone awry, instantly losing strength.

Although the hiccup lasted only a moment, in a high-level duel, life and death also hinged on a moment.

With this significant flaw exposed, Leng Yue Fairy was flicked away by the giant peach hand, losing her Cold Moon Hook, and then was caught, falling into the demonic clutches...
