Chapter 139: Chapter 132: The Mountain-cutting Army! Move! (Seeking monthly ticket) _2

"Damn it, these pesky vermin, clung to me and wouldn’t let go. If it were my heyday, I would’ve devoured all of you clean."

It originally was tasked by its clan to lead the Demon Worms in attacking Tianxiong Pass, but at Tianxiong Pass, a clansman was killed by the reinforcements that rushed over. While it was injured and attempted to escape, suddenly a few more pursuers emerged from behind and launched a sneak attack, shattering its Taoist Soldier and gravely wounding it. However, it seems that those people were not with the defenders of the pass; a struggle ensued, and it managed to fake death using its Divine Skills and escaped to the lands outside the border.

Yet those people, upon seeing its escape, dispatched their subordinates to pursue and kill it. Being once mighty in the Four Border Heavenly Pass, it was now so grievously injured that it could only exhaust itself in flight, hiding here and there for two days.

It had just escaped to this small village, devoured a few "sheep," only to be stopped by the young man in black standing before it.

Naturally, it assumed that this person was one of the group who were after it.

And the young man in black was none other than Gongsun Wuji.

After leaving Qingshan County, he traveled northward, honing his Sword Intent and slaying demons in the deep mountains. That day, after finding shelter in a household in a village called Rain Flower Village, he encountered this severely injured Zhuyan causing havoc in the village.

At this moment in Gongsun Wuji’s mind, a question arose: just what kind of person could have inflicted such severe damage on a Heavenly Barrier Realm Zhuyan.

Moreover, a demon like Zhuyan was usually found in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south; how could it appear outside the border?

Without overthinking, Gongsun Wuji frowned and shouted, his hands repeatedly forming sword techniques, summoning a torrential sword light in the air and slashing fiercely at the demon Zhuyan.

For a time, the roaring of Zhuyan was incessant, and it spewed blood light from its mouth, condensing it into murderous spectral weapons.

The sounds of clashing rang loudly.

In the high sky, the three figures who appeared were overjoyed at the sight of Zhuyan.

This demon was already heavily wounded; after two days of pursuit and several exchanges with the help of the Taoist Soldier True Intent, the demon had always been defeated and fled. Now, they had finally caught it again.

This time, they couldn’t let it escape!

The flesh, blood, and bones of a Heavenly Pass Demon were treasures - killing and consuming them might even help in their attempt to breakthrough.

With this thought, their hearts burned with fierce desire.

However, their gazes fell upon the young man in black who had trapped the Zhuyan, revealing a fleeting trace of surprise in their eyes.

Among them, the man in white with a small sword embroidered on the sleeve exclaimed in surprise and furrowed his brows, "I never thought it would be him!"

"How so? Brother Wenchang, do you know this fellow?" The fat man standing on a verdant Big Seal raised his sparse eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, showing a hint of malice.

"This person is Gongsun Wuji, the sole successor of the Dragon Mountain Sword Tomb in Shu. A year ago, when he departed, all swords of the Sword Tomb resonated, and the Sword Qi surged for thirty miles, which has since become a tale of marvel. Shortly after he left, he disappeared, and there were rumors in Shu’s Martial World that he had broken through the Fourth Heavenly Barrier. Who knew we would find him here!" The man in white said, with a hint of jealousy in his voice, because, as fellow Sword Cultivators, the fame of Gongsun Wuji spread far and wide - even some female cultivators in the Washing Sword Pavilion admired him.

"Hah, pompous indeed, the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, what a joke, he’s nothing but Profound Body Perfection!" The fat man sneered contemptuously, and then his small eyes glittered with a fierce light, "The three of us can split this cup of soup. As for this person, if he knows what’s good for him..."

"We cannot spare him, kill them all together!" The Red Robed Man who had been silent and sitting on the Scarlet Gourd spoke gruffly and ruthlessly.

"Opportunity lies ahead, and I, for one, am not accustomed to letting go anyone who might cause trouble."

"Brother Huoyun is right. Dragon Mountain Sword Tomb also belongs to the Sword Cultivator path. While sparse in numbers, their strength is not to be underestimated. Our Washing Sword Pavilion, Vajra Sect, and the Li family are not afraid, but right now our elders are clashing with the Colonel from the Government Administrative Office. We, the younger generation, cannot drag them down," the man in white said with a sinister smile, looking down, "Wait until these two sides have weakened each other enough, then we’ll make our move."

No sooner had these three finished their discussion than the battle below took a swift turn.

A multitude of sword lights rise to the heavens, converging into a massive sword, over seventy feet long, exuding piercing cold Sword Qi, its might subtly exceeding the limits of Profound Body...

"Slash!"

A cold shout.

The dark firmament appeared as if cleaved by a sword.

A streak of white light like a shooting star, swiftly passed through the very center of Zhuyan’s body with a flash.

"Ah"

A sky-shaking scream came to an abrupt halt.

Then, a line of blood emerged from Zhuyan’s large Demon Body, which split in half with a bang and collapsed thunderously.

At that moment, Gongsun Wuji reached out towards the body of Zhuyan, and the glittering Demon Blood Essence began to gather.

Just then, several whooshing sounds broke through the air, descending rapidly.

Gongsun Wuji snorted coldly and with a flick of his Sword finger upwards, the Sword Box behind him shot out streams of light, slashing towards the sky.

There, a giant sword, a verdant green Big Seal, and a flock of shrieking Scarlet Fire Crows descended from the sky.

After several loud booms, the Spirit Light in the night sky exploded, so dazzling it was blinding.

When the light dissipated, the figures of the man in white from Washing Sword Pavilion, the fat man from the Vajra Sect, and the bearded man from the Li family appeared, forming a trinity around Gongsun Wuji.

In their eyes, as they looked at the pile of mangled, fierce-looking flesh, greed flickered.

"You three must have been nearby for a while, waiting for me to finish off the demon before showing up to snatch the prize—playing a good game, indeed."

"Gongsun Wuji, this demon was our target from beginning to end; you had no part in it," snorted the man in white from Washing Sword Pavilion.
