Chapter 74 7 Desires and Obsessions
At this moment, Mu Shan and the black-robed steward, being the cultivators with the highest cultivation levels among them, naturally also noticed something amiss with the Pingyang Spiritual Vein.
The earth veins beneath them continued to surge, and even their two formations, the Nine Netherworld Refining God Formation and the Nine Imperial Demon Burning Formation, became unstable.
However, they all assumed that the other party had done it.
They believed the other side was brewing some deadly move.
after all.
Who could have imagined that, while they were fighting, a third party, who did not belong to them, dared to compete for the spiritual essence that they had already considered theirs right under their noses?
They even dared to target Lingyuan.
In an instant, the two unleashed even more intense spells.
Regardless of what the other was planning, the two shared a consensus: they had to eliminate the other quickly.
We are determined to kill them in one fell swoop; we must not allow this killing move to be unleashed.
"【Delusional Slash】!"
Mu Shan snorted coldly, the black blade in his hand concealing a bloody light. Then, strands of black light condensed within it, transforming into endless darkness that continuously absorbed the surrounding magical power, seemingly about to instantly engulf the black-robed deacon.
"You actually practiced that technique!"
The black-robed deacon's expression changed drastically.
Previously, he had thought that he had been cultivating for longer than Mu Shan.
He believed that after Qingyang Daoist left, he would be able to easily kill Mushan in a one-on-one fight.
So now, he knows—
He was wrong!
Big mistake!
He originally thought that even if Mu Shan entered the demonic sect, he would only be cultivating a quick-fix demonic method.
Who would have thought that he was actually cultivating the "Seven Desires and Delusions Scripture," which was derived from the "Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture," the highest lineage of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect!
The Seven Desires and Delusions Sutra is one of the three Golden Core lineages of the Azure Pool Demonic Sect, and it is many times stronger than the Azure Wood Sword Transformation Technique in his possession, which is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
This skill cultivates the supreme path of detachment from emotions, and its lofty ideals are unimaginable, even if it is merely derived from the "Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture".
Even at the same level, it's definitely not something he can handle.
In an instant.
The black-robed deacon even considered fleeing for his life.
However, he knew that if he tried to escape now, he would only be killed by Mu Shan.
He escaped quickly, but the other's knife was even faster.
The black-robed deacon's heart leaped into his throat.
His years of cultivation have not been a waste of time. Although his skills are not as good as Mu Shan's, he believes that his combat experience is far superior to Mu Shan's.
Strands of azure sword intent condensed in his hand, and in an instant, golden light blazed forth. Even though the patriarchs of the Zheng and Bai families were far away, they could still feel the powerful sword cry of the black-robed steward.
"Bai Tianxiong, you hypocritical, filthy vermin, you'll die here today!"
Zheng Zhizhuo had immense confidence in Mu Shan, who came from the Qingchi Demonic Sect.
But seeing the black-robed deacon's powerful sword intent now, he couldn't help but feel terrified.
Mu Shan was, after all, just a junior of the Black Robe Deacon, not a pure-blooded demon, but a defector from the righteous path to the demonic sect.
He feared that Mu Shan was truly no match for the black-robed deacon and might accidentally die at his hands.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhizhuo also used his killing move, but the killing move was inevitably accompanied by a lot of panic.
"【Crimson Lotus Devourer】!"
A giant lotus of fire condensed in the sky, and a ferocious fire serpent lunged at Bai Tianxiong below.
"Old devil Zheng, I see you've run out of tricks. Just wait! Lord Sun will surely kill Mu Shan, and you, too, will die by my hand!"
When Bai Tianxiong saw it, he was not anxious but rather pleased.
The black-robed deacon's performance gave him great confidence, as he was previously no match for Zheng Zhizhuo in magical combat.
But in that instant, he seized upon Zheng Zhizhuo's weakened state and unleashed a chilling sword strike at that opening.
"【Frosty Swift Edge】!"
