Chapter 630
by fanqienovelChapter 630: Punching Bag
“Wujie, come out at once!”
The voice of Nine Sword Respected Elder resonated across Hidden Spirit Island.
All the disciples, who were engrossed in their training on Hidden Spirit Island, glanced up at the sky.
Xu Fan’s eyes flashed with anger upon hearing the voice.
He pulled out a little notebook and flipped to the third page.
There, details about Nine Sword Respected Elder were noted.
Nine Sword Respected Elder looked down at the Hidden Spirit Sect with contempt, thinking such a feeble sect didn’t deserve a disciple like Wujie.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed.
A black shadow emerged in the sky, brandishing a giant axe, harnessing celestial power to strike at him.
“Boom!!”
Nine Sword Respected Elder activated his protective sword formation.
But caught off guard and unprepared, he was still hurled back by the force of the axe.
He shot like a comet towards the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, creating a splash that stretched for hundreds of miles.
“Who dares to bark over my Hidden Spirit Sect?”
Two sleek black Great Ascension stage puppets appeared close to where Nine Sword Respected Elder had landed.
Even after being flung away, Nine Sword Respected Elder was somewhat stunned.
Does this sect have a death wish?
A wave of intense anger emanated from him.
The Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake began to churn as he ascended from its depths.
His furious gaze locked onto the two Great Ascension stage puppets floating in the void nearby.
“The Hidden Spirit Sect is a sect of propriety.”
“When unwelcome guests arrive, we teach them with force,” declared the Great Ascension stage puppet wielding the giant axe.
Hearing this, Nine Sword Respected Elder found it laughable.
“You think two Great Ascension stage puppets are enough to challenge me?”
“Since I reached the invincible realm, no one has dared to defy me!”
Nine sky-piercing swords materialized behind Nine Sword Respected Elder.
“Today, your insignificant Hidden Spirit Sect will be obliterated,” he declared.
Meanwhile, Jian Wujie was utterly confused.
Who am I? Where am I? Why is my sect clashing with Master Nine Sword?
“How dare you shout over my Hidden Spirit Sect, disrupting the peace of my sect’s disciples?”
“If I don’t suppress you today, you’ll think the Hidden Spirit Sect is weak and easy to push around.”
For some reason, Nine Sword Respected Elder sensed a trace of anger in these words—anger that wasn’t directed at him.
“Enough with the pointless talk. In the cultivation world, strength is what matters.”
With that, Nine Sword Respected Elder vanished, swinging the sky-piercing sword toward the two puppets.
At that moment, a blazing blade light erupted from the Hidden Spirit Sect.
The heat radiating from the blade light felt like it was scorching everyone present.
The blade light struck the void, forcefully knocking Nine Sword Respected Elder out of it.
The third Great Ascension stage puppet appeared, gripping the Heavy Water Source Blade.
“Three Great Ascension stage puppets—you might call yourselves a major sect, but today, you’ll be wiped out.”
The nine swords merged, shaking the heavens and the earth.
An endless sword light swept across the battlefield.
Just then, a massive grand formation rose into the air.
It was created by all the Core Formation stage puppets of the Hidden Spirit Sect, leading tens of thousands of Void Refinement stage puppets to form a sky-covering grand formation.
This formation trapped Nine Sword Respected Elder and the three Great Ascension stage puppets inside.
The colossal sword light unleashed by Nine Sword Respected Elder was completely nullified by the formation.
At the same time, the Spiritual Gathering Formation of Hidden Spirit Island broke free and settled atop the grand formation, providing it with an endless supply of power.
Only then did Nine Sword Respected Elder realize something was amiss.
But it was too late. The three Great Ascension stage puppets launched a coordinated assault on him.
The puppet wielding the Heavy Water Source Blade took the lead, while the other two puppets worked to restrain Nine Sword Respected Elder.
In an instant, Nine Sword Respected Elder found himself overwhelmed.
To make matters worse, he noticed that the grand formation was draining his spiritual energy.
For a short time, he could manage, but if this continued, he would be forced into a defensive position.
The nine peak Spiritual Swords, under Nine Sword Respected Elder’s control, formed various protective sword formations to fend off the attacks of the three Great Ascension stage puppets.
Yet, he was steadily pushed back.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sword intent burst forth from Nine Sword Respected Elder.
A flash of sword light shot out, sending the three Great Ascension stage puppets flying.
Just as Nine Sword Respected Elder thought he could catch his breath, the grand formation unleashed a tremendous force.
It transformed into an enormous sword, slashing down at him.
“Boom!”
Nine Sword Respected Elder’s protective sword formation was shattered, but the giant sword also dissolved into a surge of spiritual energy, dispersing into the air.
As Nine Sword Respected Elder began to reform his protective sword formation…
Now, the Great Ascension stage puppets joined forces again to attack.
In an instant, countless blades of light carrying Heavy Water swept toward Nine Sword Respected Elder.
Once more, Nine Sword Respected Elder found himself in a difficult situation.
At this moment, Xu Fan in the Hidden Spirit Sect was closing his eyes, playing with the Avatar Jade Talisman of the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect in his hand.
“True form, are you really going to play this game?” avatar number one said, looking at the talisman in Xu Fan’s hand.
Xu Fan remained silent, focusing intently on controlling the three Great Ascension stage puppets with the help of grapes.
“Are you really going to slay Nine Sword Respected Elder? Use that piece from your sister-in-law as well; otherwise, I feel it’s not enough,” avatar number one suggested from the side.
Surrounded by attacks, Nine Sword Respected Elder realized he was being used as a punching bag.
A surge of anger rose again from within Nine Sword Respected Elder.
Daring to use the invincible respected elder as a punching bag? When the tiger doesn’t roar, do you take me for a sick cat?
Instantly, the anger covered Nine Sword Respected Elder’s eyes.
“Do you really think this broken formation can restrain me?”
An incredibly powerful aura erupted as nine artifact-level Spiritual Swords fused with the law form behind Nine Sword Respected Elder.
He transformed into a sword, directly breaking through the battlefield’s blockade.
But at that moment, six artifact-level Gravity Rods fell from the sky.
Like the formidable might of a thunder calamity, the six lightning pillars slammed Nine Sword Respected Elder back into the formation just as he broke free.
The three Great Ascension stage puppets launched another attack.
At this time, the law form behind Nine Sword Respected Elder transformed into the Guardian Sword Formation.
Nine Sword Respected Elder looked in the direction of Hidden Spirit Island.
“Grand Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect, may I ask you to show yourself?” Nine Sword Respected Elder’s voice had a penetrating quality.
A virtual image condensed a short distance away from Nine Sword Respected Elder.
“Are you going to apologize for your rudeness?” Xu Fan said, looking at Nine Sword Respected Elder with a blank expression.
“You think you can use me as a punching bag, don’t you?” Nine Sword Respected Elder replied angrily.
“So what if I do? So what if I don’t?”
“You howl above my Hidden Spirit Island, disturbing the sect’s disciples’ meditation.”
“Although my Hidden Spirit Sect is small, it cannot be insulted.”
At that moment, an inexplicable aura rose from Xu Fan’s virtual image.
“Are you trying to suppress me here?” Nine Sword Respected Elder asked again.
“What’s wrong with that? You insult my sect; I shall subdue you.”
“This is the cycle of cause and effect; it is perfectly normal.”
