Chapter 436: Battle With Martial Saint
Above Green Lotus Immortal City.
Immortal Green Lotus stood on the clouds, carefully hiding behind a cloud, sensing Qiao Mu at the foot of the mountain with her divine consciousness.
Green Lotus Immortal City is on the left palm of the giant Kuafu Mountain.
The back mountain of the Incense Mine is the slightly curled index finger of the Kuafu Mountain giant, and the mountain top is the tip of the index finger.
"No mistake," Immortal Green Lotus witnessed the battle below just now.
She saw with her own eyes the bearded swordsman and several golden core cultivators under him fighting fiercely, only to be killed by Qiao Mu in the end.
"No mistake, this is definitely a member of the Qiao family," Immortal Green Lotus exclaimed.
"My Green Lotus Immortal City, has it really been targeted by a member of the Qiao family?"
Before, she worked as a receptionist at Immortal Gate and had a detailed conversation with Long Life Gate Immortal Changqing.
Immortal Changqing tried to convince Blood Lotus Sect to cooperate, repeatedly mentioning the dangers posed by the Qiao family members and their risky aspects.
"Aren’t the Qiao family members active in Nan Province? Their influence is expanding…"
Several surprised golden core disciples behind her exclaimed.
"Harming my temple is unforgivable," Immortal Green Lotus snorted coldly.
"Nevertheless, the Qiao family members do have some strength. Despite Immortal Changqing’s harsh words, there may be some truth to it."
She wasn’t familiar with mortal martial arts, especially with the rampant cultivators of Blood Lotus Sect in Western Province.
Her temple was in trouble, and she wanted to kill Qiao Mu immediately but managed to control herself.
"Let’s observe first and see how capable these Qiao family members are before making a move."
Sure, I’d be happy to help. Just provide me with the sentence you’d like translated.
Kuafu Divine Mountain, under the hand of the Five-Finger Mountain.
The three warriors looked at each other in silence.
Wu Jing stood in between them, with neither side coming closer.
Martial Saint stood facing Wu Qizheng, looking at each other expressionlessly.
One of them is Martial Saint.
Another person, created by Martial Saint, is a "born saint" named Wu.
"Martial Saint, you are still the same as before, enjoying playing these little tricks."
Wu Qizheng said indifferently,
"At fifteen years old, full of energy and natural strength, the burly man with a bearded face named ‘Da Hu’ looked strange. It seems like he wasn’t killed by you, but rather that person doesn’t exist at all."
"Following us all the way, lurking in the shadows? Is this also part of the test?"
"Such an extraordinary person like ‘Da Hu’ is exactly what you expect in Martial Saint’s methods," Martial Saint said calmly.
Martial Saint had no airs of being a strong person.
If the Qiao family member plays straightforward, they are playing a risky game.
In contrast, Martial Saint plays using covert tactics.
Just like the incident when Nan Province Emperor Yonghe worshipped the gods, it was a life-threatening situation.
Everyone involved in assassinating Emperor Yonghe died, only Wu Qizheng managed to escape using Shape Changing Skill.
But Martial Saint… he simply wouldn’t go.
"Always hiding in the dark, always having an ace up the sleeve, never putting oneself in danger."
Wu Qizheng said coldly:
"Someone like you, will only show their true colors when facing death, right?"
"I hope you’re not just good at using grand words to mask your false self."
"Since you’ve planned everything to this point, even my arrival is within your calculation…"
"Would it be impolite if you refuse to die obediently?"
Martial Saint listened quietly to Wu Qizheng.
His mouth curled up slowly, almost reaching his ears, revealing a chilling smile.
"Very well."
"It seems like you are very confident."
"Come, my good child." He gradually stepped closer and continued,
"Whether you borrow the knife from the Qiao family member or borrow the inhuman knife."
"Since you already think of me as a calamity no less than an inhuman disaster…"
"Then give it a try, come and kill me."
Martial Saint turned his face expressionlessly.
At this moment, he no longer looked at Wu Qizheng, but raised his head.
He coldly stared at Qiao Mu standing on the peak of the Five Finger Mountain.
The two faced each other from the top and bottom of the mountain, and the air seemed to freeze.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Above the clouds.
Immortal Green Lotus, hidden behind the clouds, watched the scene and couldn’t help but smile.
"What a joke, coming to cause trouble under my Blood Lotus Sect."
Immortal Green Lotus shook her head.
"I wanted to personally see how strong Immortal Changqing’s strange relative from the Qiao family is, but now they are fighting at the foot of the sect’s mountain."
"This saves me the trouble… I really can’t help but laugh."
She leisurely prepared to watch the show from above the clouds.
"These mortal people on Earth, though not very skilled, prefer fighting amongst themselves, as it has always been throughout history. Mortal dynasties collapse every three hundred years due to internal conflicts that never stop." The disciples behind her also chuckled.
At the same time.
Wu Qizheng then sensed something and looked at the sky.
"The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Blood Lotus Sect above, are they planning to watch the show?"
Wu Qizheng shook his head slightly.
"A cultivator on the Immortal Path? Probably just watching for amusement, thinking it’s an internal conflict," Wu Jing added.
"Internal conflict, human or inhuman, to the Yao clan watching from the side, the struggle between immortals and mortals in Jiu Province is also seen as a conflict within the human race."
"The conflicts in this world, can they really be distinguished by clans?"
Different paths do not lead to the same goals.
Look at the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, when have they ever been united?" Wu Qizheng shook his head.
"The Nascent Soul cultivator thought he was hiding well while watching the battle as if he were a tiger on a mountain."
Even Wu Qizheng noticed the Immortal Green Lotus above the clouds, how could Qiao Mu and Martial Saint not know?
In the eyes of the Immortal Green Lotus, this is like two wolves fighting in a tiger’s den.
But in the eyes of Qiao Mu and Martial Saint, the Nascent Soul cultivator on the cloud, did not catch their attention at all.
At this moment, they only had each other in their eyes…
"Martial Saint." Qiao Mu stood at the mountaintop, facing the wind with his robe fluttering.
"Since we have planned so much and expected our own deaths, let’s not waste words."
Qiao Mu lowered his eyelids:
"Come up here and face your fate."
Martial Saint finished listening with a slight smile on his lips.
"Well, it depends on whether you have the skills." Martial Saint recited word by word:
"Might makes right."
"Survival of the fittest."
"The loser becomes the food." He grinned, showing his white teeth, with dark eyes like an abyss, but no smile on his face.
At this moment.
Martial Saint’s body gradually started to change, with his height and size subtly transforming.
His originally huge and broad figure now appeared more agile, tight, and slender, showing a smooth streamlined shape.
The muscles on his back and legs contracted, revealing numerous small pores.
"Ability to Change Flesh: Transforming from Human to something else."
This was created by Martial Saint, designed for battles.
At that moment, the dust on the ground started to rise slightly, creating an invisible vortex that lifted his feet off the ground.
"Hmm? This is quite interesting."
The Immortal Green Lotus high above the clouds was somewhat surprised.
"Even in the mortal world, they have researched the methods of levitation and flight?"
Since the Inhuman War over forty years ago, the Blood Lotus Sect has been working on establishing the Nine Lotus Immortal Cities in the Western Province.
The most powerful martial artist encountered by the Immortal Green Lotus was just the Great Yan Flying Fish Guard of the first rank in the Spiritual Refining Period.
For a Nascent Soul Elder, this was indeed insignificant and not worth mentioning.
But Martial Saint in front of her was very surprising.
At the same time, Qiao Mu on the peak of his index finger also took a step forward, and his true strength flowed like clouds, causing his feet to stand in emptiness.
"Hmm? There’s another completely different method?" Immortal Green Lotus was instantly surprised.
For mortal martial artists, it’s like prehistoric barbarians to immortal cultivators in the path of immortality, like people from a future civilization in a space age looking at ancient barbarians.
Isn’t martial arts about punching and kicking, figuring out some moves and experiences?
But now they saw the barbarian forming wings that could fly, truly surprising him.
"The method of levitation and flight in mortal martial arts is indeed interesting." Immortal Green Lotus nodded and said:
"However, martial arts is inherently lacking and is the path taken by those without spiritual roots, ultimately being a side path; only the path of immortality can lead to longevity, which is the right path."
"However, the method of levitation and flight can even be achieved by a Qi Refining Stage cultivator."
Next moment.
A sudden strong gust of air burst behind Martial Saint, as he fiercely stomped his feet downward.
Clang!
Amidst a sharp and loud whistle, Martial Saint transformed into a blur shooting up into the sky, a trumpet-shaped white sound explosion cloud appearing behind him, the intense explosion sound seeming to tear the sky apart.
The eyes of Immortal Green Lotus in the sky widened slightly.
Just the passing figure caused a howling gale, sending the Thousand Soul Banner next to the Spirit Pool soaring into the air.
"In ancient times, there were extraordinary beings, riding the wind to ascend the heavens. Holding the sun and moon, reflecting the past in the high celestial dome."
Martial Saint soared through the sky like a shooting star, his iron fist aimed straight at Qiao Mu at the mountaintop, the fist momentum soaring like a shooting star.
A thunderous roar.
The whole fingertip peak was shaking uncontrollably, trembling, and a visible strong wind swept out, swirling up a circle of dust.
Qiao Mu flew diagonally upwards for nearly a hundred meters before stopping in midair.
The arms he held at his chest were visibly twisted at the moment, the bones sinking inward, causing his chest to slightly collapse downwards.
Qiao Mu lowered his head and glanced at the injury on his chest.
"Faster than expected in speed, a bit lacking in physical strength, only relying on the momentum to deliver such a powerful punch." He commented, his tone remaining calm.
Far away in the sky, Immortal Green Lotus’s eyes twitched slightly.
"Is…is the next part coming?"
Beads of sweat formed on Immortal Green Lotus’s forehead, just now she was amazed that there was a method of flying in the martial world.
Little did she know that this was not at all what she had imagined, just a shaky step that was taken.
The punch was very fast and powerful.
Immortal Green Lotus knew that even with her protective magic treasure, she couldn’t defend against it.
Suddenly, she noticed someone staring at her from behind.
They were disciples with golden cores from the sect.
Surprised by the strength of mortal martial artists, these golden core cultivators felt inferior and instinctively looked towards their master.
Knowing that her disciples were still watching from behind, she wanted to save face.
"The martial artists of this world are truly impressive," Immortal Green Lotus shifted her focus to Qiao Mu and remarked.
"But this man is lacking a little. Despite taking the blow, he’s clearly injured but still putting up a tough front."
Before she could finish speaking,
Qiao Mu’s body made cracking sounds, his twisted bones were healing and shifting back at a visible speed, even his surface flesh wounds were healing rapidly.
"Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps!"
He steps on air, suddenly accelerating in the sky, moving as fast as lightning, seeming unaffected by his previous injuries.
Boom, boom, boom!
Two figures collide in the air, creating visible shockwaves with each impact, causing the clouds around to tear apart under the strong winds.
The sky, torn open in long strips by their high-speed collisions.
Whoosh!
Immortal Green Lotus widened his eyes instinctively, getting goosebumps all over his skin.
In just a moment ago.
She saw Qiao Mu’s figure being knocked into the clouds, nearly brushing past her. She was hiding in the clouds and watching secretly, only a few meters away.
She even felt the strong wind as he brushed past her, blowing away the clouds she was hiding in, making her protective robe emit a faint glow.
The Immortal Green Lotus’s fur stood on end instantly.
But it seemed that neither Qiao Mu nor Martial Saint noticed anything.
With a loud bang, the two figures entangled together fell to the ground like shooting stars, landing right next to the spirit pool.
The Thousand Soul Banner next to the spirit pool was overturned, the shockwave tearing the banner apart, and translucent images of faces disappearing in the air one by one.
By this time, the golden core disciple next to the Immortal Green Lotus barely reacted.
"Master, that was indeed thrilling just now," exclaimed a golden core disciple.
"We almost got discovered. If we had to fight with those two martial artists, it would have been a tough battle!"
"The teacher’s magical concealment skills were amazing. Even though they were close by, their presence was hidden. Those two rough martial artists didn’t notice at all."
"It’s a pity about the Thousand Soul Banner next to the spiritual pool, each flag representing a thousand ores…"
Amid the disciples’ discussion, Immortal Green Lotus felt a chill spread throughout her body.
"Fool, it’s not that your teacher wasn’t discovered, it’s just that they were being ignored…"
She didn’t speak her thoughts aloud, instead immediately controlling the Green Lotus treasure under her feet, turning into a streak of light flying towards the distance.
With things at this point, it’s best to report first.
Otherwise, would you go forward to confront a member of the Qiao family?
No immortal cultivator would think their life is too long, and Immortal Green Lotus was no exception.
While she used the Message Jade Talisman to contact the sect, she heard the disciples behind her ask in amazement:
"Master, these two ordinary martial artists are fighting, and they are damaging our city, Green Lotus Immortal City."
"If you leave like this, are you going to let Green Lotus Immortal City be destroyed without doing anything about it? Don’t you care about Green Lotus Immortal City?"
"Is Green Lotus Immortal City more important or is life more important?" Immortal Green Lotus cursed silently and flew away.
Green Lotus Immortal City is located in the palm of Kuafu Mountain, and as she flew past, she used a Message Jade Talisman to report to the sect.
Just as she flew over White Lotus Immortal City, there were several rainbows shooting up from the Immortal City.
