Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Chapter 140 - 137: Entry, Killing Intent, The Power of Pure Yang, Displayed for All to See, What Do You Think, Commander Chi Yan (Part 2)

Such a dramatic change caused everyone, including the Sword Immortal Maiden, to turn their heads and glare furiously at Zhu Buqun, their faces filled with shock.

A reversal of the situation.

For a moment, everyone was stunned like idiots.

Many couldn’t help but curse Zhu Buqun, wishing they could tear him to pieces and eat his flesh.

The grand array flickered with light, casting rays of blood-red light upon everyone. Instantly, it felt as if they were bearing the weight of mountains on their shoulders. The blood-red light began to erode their bodies like a chronic disease of the bone, forcing them to divert their concentration and mana to resist its corrosion.

On the other hand, Zhu Buqun and Hu Bugui’s group wore unique white jade pendants that radiated bright light, protecting them from the blood-red light.

This was the Blood Sea Bodhi Array, which Hu Bugui and Zhu Buqun had set up at a great cost, utilizing numerous souls and lifeblood, and expending a multitude of elemental stones and precious materials.

As time passed, the erosive power of the blood-red light would gradually strengthen, which was the confidence behind Zhu Buqun and Hu Bugui’s certainty in their control over the Sword Immortal Maiden and the others.

At that moment, everyone was on edge, with some people’s eyes flickering, seemingly considering defecting.

"Saint Heir Hu, it’s all a misunderstanding. I’m willing to submit and serve you from the front of the saddle to behind the horse. Just spare my life."

Master Li from Fenming Prefecture, who had previously lambasted Hu Bugui, took the lead in setting an example. He gritted his teeth and came out from the crowd to kowtow to Hu Bugui.

His shamelessness shocked the cultivators led by the Sword Immortal Maiden.

"Haha, you sure know how to adapt. You’re just the kind of talent my Infernal Demon Sect needs. Swallow this poison pill, and I’ll take you in as my underling."

"I heard your Fenming Prefecture’s Li family has a woman named Li Tianxiang, exceptionally beautiful. What is she to you?"

"She is my elder sister. After this affair, I can arrange a meeting for you, my lord."

Master Li decided to bite the bullet and sacrifice his sister’s happiness.

Now that the situation was clear, he only wanted to save his own life, and thus had no choice but to switch allegiances.

"Good! Good! Good! Truly a heartless and disgraceful lot, these are your righteous heroes, hahaha." Hu Bugui laughed wildly, tossing a crimson pill to the ground as if commanding a dog, "Swallow it."

"I know you’re interested in the Sword Immortal Maiden. I allow you to be after me, hahaha!"

The Sword Immortal Maiden’s complexion turned ashen, her eyes filled with murderous intent. In a flash, she moved beside Yi Chen and Master Kong Xiang, bowing deeply.

"Fellow daoists, I wish to sacrifice myself to the spell and destroy my three Spirit Swords to break open a gap in this array."

"This humble girl is powerless. Many daoist friends have been endangered because of me. I hope you both can help protect the remaining daoist friends for a while."

The Sword Immortal Maiden’s voice rang out firmly, her gaze steadfast as she looked at Yi Chen and Master Kong Xiang, especially Yi Chen.

There was a pleading look in her eyes.

Seeing the Sword Immortal Maiden’s rising momentum, Yi Chen suddenly felt somewhat dazed.

Damn, this woman is serious~

Holy Mother pretenders love to take the moral high ground and preach lofty ideals, making others suffer.

A true Holy Mother sacrifices herself.

He had thought her to be a Holy Mother pretender, but it turned out she was the real deal.

Just then, Yi Chen’s impression of the Sword Immortal Maiden improved significantly.

Master Kong Xiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to interrupt the Sword Immortal Maiden’s spellcasting. He couldn’t let her actually use the self-sacrificing spell, as it would be difficult to explain to the Sword Immortal Maiden’s sect elders.

At that moment, another few people defected to Hu Bugui, but even more people’s eyes turned bloodshot with soaring fighting spirit.

"Sword Immortal Maiden, there’s no need for this. We came here for a righteous cause, not just for you alone."

"As cultivators, why would we fear a fight!!!"

"Even if we perish, we accept our fate. If death is our destiny, we would rather die standing than live on our knees." A young man with an ordinary face said resolutely.

"Exactly, exactly, we all feel the same way." More people echoed in agreement.

The Sword Immortal’s eyes momentarily brimmed with a thin mist.

Whether a person has integrity can’t be seen until a crisis arises.

The despised Yi Chen didn’t defect, and many ordinary cultivators didn’t defect, yet the righteous and competent Young Master Li was the first to defect.

It wasn’t just a defection, but rather the most shameless kind, with all principles shattered.

"Taoist, what do you think?" The crazed monk hurriedly said to Yi Chen, frantically signaling with his eyes.

Quite the spectacle.

Yi Chen sighed, and immediately activated the True Yang Spirit stance!

Origin Point! Empower me!

Yi Chen split the four Origin Points he had accumulated over ten days of travel to Wujang Prefecture between strength and stamina.

He began to grow taller, and a three-meter tall Daoist figure instantly manifested.

Two lines of blood appeared from his waist, shooting up to his forehead and forming a strange pattern.

Bands of muscle, like armored plating, surfaced all around him.

A wild aura rippled outwards, centering on him, and within a ten-meter radius the ground sunk three feet. The resulting gust of wind made everyone’s robes dance violently.

Powerful Pure Yang energy.

Revealed! To! The! World!

"How I see it isn’t important, what’s important is how Family Head Ma sees it!" Yi Chen threw out a peculiar golden token, propelling it with the unmatched force of Pure Yang into the blood-red canopy above.

A crisp snapping sound.

The blood-red canopy, like a delicate gear mechanism, was suddenly jammed by an inserted lever and completely collapsed. At the same time, the peculiar golden token also vanished.

An old man with white hair arrived riding the wind and landed on the roof of a nearby house, exuding a strong aura – indeed, he was a True Person Realm master.

The Sword Immortal’s expression changed and then she was overjoyed.

"This…"

Zhu Buqun’s face turned ashen: "Ma Tianyuan, you old dog, you’re so ruthless and patient!"

Although he still had a trump card, a bad premonition rose in his heart at that moment.

His premonition was right

Ma Tianyuan laughed boldly: "Taoist Yi is too serious. It matters not how I see things, what matters is how the Red Flame Army Commander sees them."

Before the sound of his voice faded, a supremely majestic figure landed squarely in the center of the standoff, cracking the ground beneath him as an incredibly ferocious aura spread out.

This person was exceedingly burly, nearly three meters tall, holding a blood-soaked battle flag that fluttered without wind.

The Red Flame Army Commander thrust the battle flag into the ground and, looking intrigued, glanced at Yi Chen, then turned to speak to Zhu Buqun: "Zhu Town Governor, what do you think?"

The Sword Immortal’s mouth gaped open, looking at Kong Xiang, then at Yi Chen, and at Ma Tianyuan and the Red Flame Army Commander; she stamped her foot in anger, clenching her teeth until they nearly shattered.

From beginning to end, only she looked like a fool.

Faced with such a drastic change, the complexion of Young Master Li became more spectacular than a revolving lantern.

He gritted his teeth.

"Everyone, what I just did was but a ruse. I am willing to renounce the dark side and rejoin the light," he declared.

Young Master Li, whose bottom line was as flexible as ever, wanted to switch sides again.

The Sword Immortal formed a hand seal, and the sword behind her unsheathed suddenly, a ringing sword light flashed by in an instant.

A fine head fell to the ground, and a fountain of blood spurted skyward!
