Chapter 967: Chapter 621 Deadlock

In that instant, over a hundred sharp sword auras howled out from the wine gourd.

The younger generation of Transcendents only knew that Sword in Wine was as fond of alcohol as life itself, and that the seemingly inexhaustible wine gourd was never far from his side.

Many Transcendents had been treated to drinks by him, and so, in private, they all secretly called him Old Drunkard.

Only the older generation of Transcendents knew that this wine gourd had already been nurtured by Sword in Wine for many years. Every drop of wine it contained was infused with Sword in Wine’s vast sword aura.

Wine-condensed Sword, a single strike to vanquish the enemy. Acknowledged as the number one in offense within the association, that was the real Sword in Wine!

As for treating to drinks, he actually wanted to see if his disciples possessed any innate talent in swordsmanship. He had not been sparing in accepting named disciples. He would even secretly teach sword techniques to disciples who had already joined other sects.

In contrast to Ghost Hand, who had a vast number of ’masters,’ he had a vast number of ’apprentices.’

And the mute girl, who had only achieved Earth Level Extraordinary half a year ago, was utterly defenceless against this sudden ultimate skill.

In that moment of sudden change.

Sword in Wine, with his keen awareness, noticed the change in his body and hurriedly called a warning while putting his right hand in front of the wine gourd. His jade-like hand, used for holding the sword, was pierced with countless holes by the sword aura.

The mute girl, too, in that same instant, extended her hand and drew out a golden Talisman. She protected her abdomen and vital parts.

The efforts of the two barely allowed the mute girl to survive amidst the surging sword aura.

But the crisis wasn’t over, Sword in Wine’s barely controlled right hand was now useless, and his uncontrolled left hand once again pointed the wine gourd at the mute girl.

Fortunately, the next second, a golden figure violently shattered the wall, moving to stand in front of the mute girl, blocking the sharp strike.

That golden figure was none other than Master Kongchan.

He had been sitting in the old temple courtyard with his eyes closed, restoring his spirit. When he suddenly realized something was wrong,

endowed with the Vajra indestructible Liuli Body, he immediately moved straight to provide support.

The sharp sword energy slashed upon the Glass Body, sparking a shower of sparks and even began to draw blood traces.

Being a high Buddhist master, Master Kongchan’s Glass Body was extremely tough.

But under the assault of Sword in Wine, it started to show cracks.

Master Kongchan, unmoved, transformed one hand into a palm and struck out.

A golden palm print several meters tall surged forth, completely enveloping Sword in Wine.

’Bang’

After a loud bang, the golden palm print threw Sword in Wine along with part of a wall as if it were a bulldozer.

"Do you realize what you’re doing?" Kongchan demanded, continuously swinging his hands and creating golden palm prints out of thin air to slam towards Sword in Wine.

And Sword in Wine’s complexion was ugly as he wielded an iron sword, repeatedly smashing the golden palm prints, all the while shouting, "I’ve been ensnared, the Three Corpses have arisen. Get away, it’s the Ten Thousand Swords Decree!"

No sooner had Sword in Wine spoken than the wine gourd at his waist began to levitate. Golden sword aura roared out, its power surpassing even that of the previous ones.

The quantity of the golden sword aura was vast, and it spread outwards in all directions. Clearly, the target of the attack was not just Kongchan and the mute girl.

Master Kongchan’s heart sank; he understood that Sword in Wine had now entirely lost control of his own body.

Although he still had the ability to speak, he couldn’t stop his body from executing the magical skill.

If Sword in Wine’s sword aura was allowed to disseminate, countless people here might die.

The association hadn’t anticipated the enemy appearing in the old temple. And those Taoist disciples stationed here wouldn’t be able to withstand even a few sword auras.

Then... should they kill Sword in Wine?

Master Kongchan didn’t dare to confirm whether Sword in Wine was beyond saving.

He still had his own consciousness, and could even remind himself...

So, Kongchan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. He brought his hands together in prayer, and a golden glow emitted from his body while strands of golden Buddhist scriptures surged out from within him.

In an instant, the entire old temple was covered with Buddhist scriptures.

"Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum"

The Six Great Mantras of Buddhism echoed around, slowing down the vast sword aura in midair.

This created preparation time for the disciples of the Daoist sect.

The mute girl, who had managed to gain some distance, could only hastily tend to her injuries.

She immediately threw out the iron umbrella, and talismans streamed out from it.

She needed to eliminate as much of the golden sword aura as possible, otherwise if Master Kongchan could no longer maintain the magical skill,

let alone the disciples, even Master Kongchan himself wouldn’t survive.

And yet the wine gourd continued to spew out sword aura without interruption, and although the speed of the sword aura was disturbed by the Buddhist spells, becoming extremely slow, its increasing rate did not diminish in the slightest.

Sword in Wine futilely flailed with his disabled right hand but was utterly unable to stop any of it. The only things he could control now were his mouth and right hand. He couldn’t even use his magical skills, nor could he manage to sever his own meridians.

Finally, he could only sigh and say, "The first to fall, it turns out, is me... Mute niece, I’m sorry. Kill me, before I commit more sins."

The mute girl couldn’t respond, and she also couldn’t be sure whether Sword in Wine could still be saved.

Just a moment ago, it was Sword in Wine’s reminder and actions that had allowed her to survive.

And yet... now she, although alive, was in a bad state. The left side of her neck, shoulder, and thigh all had wounds.

In such a condition, just maintaining the iron umbrella was a huge burden for her. She simply couldn’t make a move against Sword in Wine.

The situation was at a stalemate.

Although the second-generation disciples had rushed over to join in the effort to eliminate the golden sword aura, easing the mute girl’s pressure, they were all at a loss on how to deal with Sword in Wine.

This might just be the enemy’s tactic, not fully taking control of Sword in Wine’s body. This left the Daoist disciples at a disadvantage.

To kill him, while Sword in Wine still had consciousness and could speak. It was precisely because of this that the mute girl had survived.

Not to kill him, yet Sword in Wine could attack uncontrolled. The danger posed by an Earth Level Extraordinary was clear to all present.

The enemy had truly posed a difficult conundrum. Such an attack on the mind was indeed very sinister.

Fortunately, the disciples of the Confucian school were not there, otherwise the situation would have been even more chaotic. That was the only consolation.

At that moment, a figure flew in and stopped beside the mute girl.

It was Ghost Hand. When he saw the wounds on the mute girl’s body, his eyes showed a disquieting coldness.

After giving the mute girl some medicinal pills, he turned his head to look at the surrounded Sword in Wine and said, "Old Yao, you’ve been too careless. How did you get caught?"

There was a barely concealed anger in his tone.

"Ghost Hand, don’t hold back, just do it!" Sword in Wine said in a low voice: "Don’t feel any burden. I’m begging you, my self-brewed wine is all yours! Take action!"

"Ghost Hand, wait a moment, Elder Yao might..." a second-generation disciple spoke up, but didn’t know what else to say.

"Might still be saved? But how?" Ghost Hand retorted: "Then give me a method. Break his limbs, disable his magical skills? Living like that is worse than death."

No one responded to this.

Li Changhe, who had just arrived, saw this scene.

"Damn, this is too cruel." Li Changhe frowned and then said, "However, fortunately, I have a fight poison with poison method that I can try."
