Chapter 841: “Sage Kou”
Even with Kou Chongxue acting from the inside to help them accurately locate the Azure Flame World, the heavenly screen was still present. Shang Xia wasnt able to directly transport them into the Azure Flame World, and the Beyond Heavens Pavilion was the furthest he could go.
The scene seemed mighty familiar. It was like how the Spirit Abundance World was attacking the Azure Ascension World. They were only able to send their experts to a point in space 30000 miles outside the Beyond Heavens Pavilion. It was where the massive battle happened back then.
Even though Kou Chongxue plotted against close to half the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World, most of them realized what was happening when they were transported over and already made their preparations.
The moment they emerged from the spatial transfer, they had already stored up their energy and were ready to fight.
In stark contrast, the experts of the Azure Flame World were caught off guard when the group of foreign experts arrived.
Even though they had the experience of a foreign expert barging into their world several years ago, they hadnt killed or chased him out. Due to his appearance, it wasnt as though the members of the Azure Flame World didnt think that they would be invaded. That was also the reason why they increased the number of Martial Sages above the heavenly screen.
However, more than a dozen years passed and nothing happened. None of them noticed traces of their foreign guest leaving and entering, and it seemed as though he arrived in their world through an accident. They were a lot less cautious and they started to let their guard down.
Just like that, the invasion of the Azure Flame World took place before anyone could react!
The first item to fly at the heavenly screen was actually a bronze sword, and the sword seemed to swallow sword qi tens of thousands of feet around it. Anyone who saw it would understand that the sword was no ordinary treasure.
A Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon! Thats a Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon! At least 5 Martial Sages above the heavenly screen noticed the appearance of the bronze sword and they rushed towards where it was falling.
All of them understood what a Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon represented!
Any expert in the Azure Flame World who had a treasure at that level was a supreme expert in the land!
A Martial Sage who had a Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon could even fight opponents who had 1 or 2 more Martial Souls than them. [1]
2 Martial Sages who were closest to the weapon made their moves at the same time as they tried to snatch the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon.
It was a shame they couldnt even get close as the weapon seemed to detect traces of danger. It shook slightly before sending out 2 strands of sword qi at them.
Instead of being shocked, the 2 experts were overjoyed. The divine weapon actually had spirituality!
The fire in their eyes burned with greater intensity and their desire to obtain the weapon only increased.
Unfortunately, they werent the only ones who had their eyes on the treasure. There were other Martial Sages in the distance who noticed it.
When the 2 of them had to face the sword qi that shot out from the sword, another 2 Martial Sages approached from different directions. They didnt hesitate to sneak attack the first 2 Martial Sages.
How dare you!
You despicable bastards!
A divine weapon might be amazing, but with their lives under threat, they couldnt bother thinking about the weapon. As they resisted the attacks, the 4 of them tangled into a bunch.
The bronze sword continued to accelerate and the final Martial Sage from the Azure Flame World seemed to have lucked out as he rushed over in an attempt to intercept it.
The 4 who were locked in a bitter struggle turned to stare at the final expert the next instant, and they attacked in unison.
Despite possessing considerable strength, the last Martial Sage couldnt resist the combined might of 4 experts of the same level!
He might have reacted quickly due to the distance between them by forsaking the weapon and releasing his Martial Soul Protection Barrier to protect himself, but one of his Martial Soul Clone was destroyed before he finally got away.
Because of the brief interlude, another 2 experts from the Azure Flame World flew over to try to intercept the sword together.
The 4 experts had their own considerations. After unleashing their joint attack, they immediately started fighting with each other. They didnt expect there to be others waiting to take advantage of the situation.
They couldnt retract their attacks in time and they could only watch as the 2 experts blocked the sword qi that was released before reaching for the sword.
Stop right there!
You thieves! We wont let this rest!
...
With no ability to stop them physically, they could only resort to threats.
However, they were immediately caught off guard when they saw the other experts hand grabbing the sword.
Originally, one of them was supposed to suppress the blade while the other was preparing to retrieve it. Who would have thought that the weapon would twist at the very last second and sever the hand of the expert who reached for it?
That wasnt an injury they could heal quickly by sacrificing a mere Martial Soul Clone!
As the expert who had his arm severed retreated rapidly, his companion roared with rage. Preposterous!
3 Martial Souls emerged the next moment as it attempted to suppress the sword.
The Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon seemed to be affected as it froze in space.
When the second expert tried to reach for it, a miserable cry came from behind him. f reeweb .comcontemporary romance
Turning around abruptly, the second expert noticed that the foreign expert they knew as Sage Kou had already arrived under the heavenly screen. He was the person who launched a sneak attack on his companion. Just like that, a Martial Sage was killed by a formless sword qi Sage Kou sent out.
When the foreign expert entered their world back then, he proclaimed his name to be a mere Nobody Kou and that was what they knew him as. Due to his reckless actions that provoked the Azure Flame World, their native experts simply shortened his name to Kou while they tried hunting him down. Eventually, due to his tyrannical strength that was comparable to peak-tier experts of the Azure Flame World, they eventually added the Sage behind his name. He was finally known as Sage Kou.
You You deserve to die! Rage filled the heart of the second expert. However, he didnt immediately launch his attacks on Sage Kou to avenge his junior brother. Instead, he started to retreat while maintaining his suppression of the bronze sword.
He wasnt exactly stupid. In fact, he managed to remain extremely calm during the encounter. Sage Kous formless sword qi had already thoroughly weakened his junior brothers life force. There was no way to even create a Martial Soul Clone, and if he tried to help at the moment, he would only fall into the enemys trap.
Sage Kou had been rampaging about the Azure Flame World for many years and all of them knew how much of a crafty asshole he was. The expert in question also knew that he was no match for the man, and running as far away as possible as quickly as he could was the best option. After all, he wouldnt have to suffer the same fate as his junior brother.
Oh? You didnt fall for it! Sage Kou sighed while swinging his arm casually at the body beside him. He erased the final traces of life from the body.
Just like that, the energy contained in the body of the slain cultivator started to return to the world. However, Sage Kou moved quickly and he managed to extract a Martial Soul before it was completely gone. He obtained a strange crystal-like object that seemed slightly different from what would be produced by a Fate Dipper Clone.
Fucking thief! The Martial Sage who suppressed the bronze sword screamed. Fellow cultivators, the enemy is right before us! Please assist me in killing this beast!
The Martial Sages who were fighting over the weapon a moment ago immediately stopped after Sage Kous appearance. When they heard the request for help, they rushed over to surround him immediately.
Hmph, Yin Tou, the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon doesnt belong to you yet. Well settle this after everything is over!
The Martial Sages grunted coldly, but their gazes remained fixed on Sage Kou.
Yin Tou growled, If we manage to kill him, I am willing to give up the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon!
By that time, the number of Martial Sages had grown by quite a bit and there were more people gathering in the area.
Sage Kou, who was about to be fully surrounded, not only didnt seem interested in breaking out from the encirclement, he even sighed softly at those around him. A complex gaze could be seen on his face.
