Chapter 257: Yingling Great Method! The Highest Good is Like Water!
Inside the Mystic Mist Sect.
Thunder raged wantonly, destroying everything and recklessly damaging the buildings of the Mystic Mist Sect. The protective mountain formation could no longer withstand it, collapsing into scattered firefly-like light.
Since Chen Mousguang and the others had accurate objectives and were not here to attack people.
They only slightly obstructed the people of the Mystic Mist Sect without killing anyone, or even causing heavy injuries.
When the giant thunder sword fell, everyone fled in all directions. No one dared to drag others down while under that thing.
They only hated that their parents hadn't given them two extra legs, and wondered why they had slacked off when practicing their escape techniques.
The Grand Elder of the Mystic Mist Sect did not linger either, simply gathering the disciples still inside the sect and flying out with them.
Other elders who were slightly more conscientious also took the disciples they could see and headed out.
A very small number of people from the Eighteen Immortal Sects also took visible Mystic Mist Sect disciples and fled with them.
Whether it was a sudden burst of kindness or they wanted to interrogate them later was unknown.
In this way, under Daoist Jade Sun's intentional leniency, basically everyone inside the Mystic Mist Sect had managed to leave.
The thunder raged and impacted, yet it did not affect Daoist Jade Sun or Zhang Daotan.
Zhang Daotan looked around; he spoke with a somewhat dazed expression:
"Is this... the Great One Divine Art?"
As soon as his voice fell, a light sneer was heard.
"Heh..."
Zhang Daotan looked in the direction of the laughter, but only saw the smiling expression of Daoist Jade Sun, as if he had said something extremely funny.
Immediately afterward, another calm voice rang out:
"This is the Weakling Clearance Technique."
Spirit light bloomed like flowing water, directly clearing away the thunder inside the great hall.
Chu Xingchen leisurely held a long sword condensed from spirit power, his tone relaxed as he said:
"It's specifically used to clear out weaklings who can't even withstand this kind of area attack."
Daoist Jade Sun raised his hand, and the thunder retracted, transforming back into a purple wooden sword that returned to his hand. He looked at the spirit sword in Chu Xingchen's hand and asked:
"Where is your Spirit Treasure?"
"As of now, I don't need it to beat you. Why don't you use a bit more force and let me see?" Chu Xingchen retorted without hesitation.
He couldn't exactly say during this kind of battle that he actually didn't possess a Spirit Treasure like the one the other party had, which looked like something money couldn't buy, right?
Daoist Jade Sun's expression showed no anger. He held the wooden sword and flashed forward. The wooden sword in his hand transformed into thunder and slashed toward Chu Xingchen.
The arrogant would reap what they sowed.
In an instant, thunder surged, and the pressure crushed the earth.
However, amidst the thunder, a strand of pale blue spirit light bloomed.
It pierced through the thunder and struck straight at Daoist Jade Sun.
Daoist Jade Sun's expression was calm. White spirit light appeared on his left hand, and he reached out to point at that azure spirit light. He spoke softly:
"Reverse Flow."
The azure spirit light instantly exploded, clearing away the thunder in an instant.
After the thunder, Chu Xingchen held his sword with one hand, as if he were merely gently extending the spirit sword in his hand.
Daoist Jade Sun reached out to lightly block the incoming sword tip:
"You do have some skill. No wonder you speak so arrogantly."
Chu Xingchen just chuckled upon hearing this. Behind him, one blue long sword after another continuously appeared.
If one sword means I'm arrogant, then what about a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand?
It seemed like only a breath's time, and an unknown number of long swords appeared in the surroundings.
The next moment, all the long swords transformed into azure spirit light and rushed toward Daoist Jade Sun.
Daoist Jade Sun's gaze focused. At this moment, the world seemed to suddenly turn black and white.
At this moment, the world was entirely black, and only the spot where Daoist Jade Sun stood was the sole point of whiteness.
Every single azure spirit sword, which had been nearly flowing light, now moved at an extremely slow pace where the blackness spread.
It was as if time itself had fallen into a quagmire where this blackness spread.
At this moment, Chu Xingchen seemed to be the same.
Daoist Jade Sun gently released the spirit sword held by Chu Xingchen, which was still in the black zone.
He raised the purple wooden sword in his hand and swung it ruthlessly at Chu Xingchen.
Thunder surged, shattering several azure spirit swords that were rushing toward him and coiling around Chu Xingchen's body.
The next moment, in the instant before it was about to hit Chu Xingchen.
Daoist Jade Sun's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His gaze instantly focused. He saw that Chu Xingchen's movements, which had been difficult just a moment ago, suddenly became rapid and fluid again.
That spirit light long sword ignored the black quagmire and slashed toward Daoist Jade Sun at extreme speed.
At the same time, Chu Xingchen's sneer came out.
Daoist Jade Sun's purple wooden sword instantly changed direction, striking back at the spirit light long sword swinging toward him.
The moment the two swords clashed, the black and white domain Daoist Jade Sun had deployed instantly shattered.
Time returned to its normal flow. Ten thousand azure spirit swords fell toward Daoist Jade Sun in the blink of an eye.
The spell sword condensed from spirit power in Chu Xingchen's hand directly suppressed the peerless Spirit Treasure in Daoist Jade Sun's hand, while he also taunted with a smile:
"Have you been bullying the weak too much? You think any rotten move will work?"
To the side, Zhang Daotan, who had taken the full brunt of the effect, looked slightly pale. If not for other methods and his Willpower, it would have taken him at least a breath to break free.
But in a battle of cultivators at this level, standing still for a breath's time while getting beaten was no different from waiting for death.
Daoist Jade Sun's expression remained calm as he softly spoke two words:
"Divine Art—Return to Void."
The purple wooden sword in Daoist Jade Sun's hand instantly turned black. A frightening pressure transmitted from the wooden sword.
A terrifying spirit power that silenced even sound was drawn out from the wooden sword.
The spell sword formed from spirit power that Chu Xingchen personally held was also eroded and destroyed by this force of annihilation.
It was a power that seemed to approach the very essence of existence.
Facing Daoist Jade Sun, who had started using his ultimate move, Chu Xingchen was not to be outdone. He also spoke up:
"Yingling Great Method—The Highest Good is Like Water!"
Daoist Jade Sun frowned slightly... Yingling? ... What kind of style was this?
He seemed to have never heard of it before.
But in an instant, a power no weaker than the Great One Divine Art seemed to descend from the sky.
In just a moment, it landed instantly around Chu Xingchen.
Outside the Mystic Mist Sect.
Chen Mousguang, who was contacting Bai Xuanling to prepare for reinforcements, looked again toward the direction of the Mystic Mist Sect.
He saw an extremely brilliant azure light descend from the horizon, shining straight down onto the Mystic Mist Sect.
Immediately after, it was as if water fell from the sky, guided by the azure light, rushing toward the Mystic Mist Sect.
However, that transparent substance, which seemed to be water, carried a aura of destruction that could be felt even from such a great distance.
At this moment, everyone present felt that when this water fell, it would be the time of annihilation.
Ye An Tao's eyes went wide as he hurriedly asked Chen Mousguang beside him:
"Is this a divine ability released by your Big Shot, or by Daoist Jade Sun?"
Chen Mousguang gave a bitter smile: "...I don't know either."
To the side, Wang Ling couldn't help but cast a look at Chen Mousguang that said, "So, what do you actually know?"
