Chapter 139: Joined Forces (I)
The middle-aged woman let out a long breath.
Her breath rushed out like a snake and swept across the grass. The green grass instantly withered and turned yellow.
Gong Shangqin’s gaze turned from indifference to focus as she said mildly, “How many years has it been? It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone who can remain calm when facing the three peak masters of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect at the same time.
I don’t know if your confidence is warranted and whether you can bear the consequences for your deeds.”
Gong Shangqin, the Peak Master of the Purple Light Peak, still did not treat the masked man as though he was at the same level as the three of them. This was because the cultivation technique that the masked man had stolen was only at the ordinary warrior realm.
Not only did the three peak masters have the advantage in numbers, but the martial arts techniques they cultivated could also work together to produce a combined effect. As long as the three of them worked together, they could even hold their own against someone at the third stage of the warrior realm.
And no matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for the masked man to be at the third stage of the warrior realm.
Chen Yiming looked up at Huang Lieyan and sneered, “How confident are you three? Earlier, one of you peak masters was defeated after just one round.”
The sound that was like a huge bell ringing had spread throughout the entire Blue Cloud Sword Sect. However, the strength-based internal force hidden in the sound waves caused most of the sect’s disciples to sustain internal injuries.
The difference in strength between the two sides was obvious. His tone was merciless as he pointed out the difference in the intensity of the sound waves.
Huang Lieyan’s face twitched, and his eyes narrowed.
He was the Peak Master of the Heavenly Dipper Peak, and had never been looked down on like this.
However, even though he did not use his full strength, he had to admit that he could not beat the masked man.
Therefore, a killing intent appeared in his heart.
Seeing this, Liang Xishan said in a low voice, “Senior Brother Huang, don’t be fooled by his words. The opponent has only mastered a special sound wave secret technique.”
Then, he turned his gaze back to the masked man. “Young man, victory or defeat is not determined by words. Where did you get the confidence to fight against all three peak masters at the same time?”
The Peak Master of Thunder Peak, Liang Xishan, was more than 10 years younger than the other two peak masters. His reputation might not be as good as his senior brother and sister, but his talent and strength were definitely better than theirs.
“Three people at the second stage of the warrior realm?” Chen Yiming swept his gaze across the three of them and shook his head. “If this is all you have, I can only say that it’s not enough.”
Hearing this, Liang Xishan, the Peak Master of Thunder Peak, felt as though he had just heard the biggest joke ever. He said calmly, “How arrogant. Whether it’s enough or not is not up to you.”
Gong Shangqin, the Peak Master of Purple Light Peak, smiled and added, “If you can get past us, the sect master of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect will naturally be waiting for you.”
Their expressions remained unchanged, but anger surged in their hearts.
“Don’t hold back, lest we leave behind a huge problem,” Huang Lieyan, the Peak Master of the Heavenly Dipper Peak, reminded them before he made his move.
“Got it,” Liang Xishan and Gong Shangqin replied.
They had already formed a huge grudge, and the masked man looked like he was still young.
Although the three of them spoke in a carefree manner, they had already planned to kill him. They definitely could not let the masked man escape.
Three figures flashed at the same time and surrounded the masked man in a triangular formation.
Immediately after, three huge auras soared into the sky, covering the entire entrance of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect.
The combined strength of three people at the second stage of the warrior realm was extremely terrifying. Under the combination of their auras, the disciples hiding in the depths of the mountain felt their hearts skip a beat. A heavy, invisible pressure appeared out of thin air.
Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up.
It was said that the sect master of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect was at the third stage of the warrior realm. He had been worrying about how difficult it would be to find someone at this level.
The other party was also someone who hid deep in the mountains to train. Even if he made a mistake, it would not directly affect the overall situation of the war between the humans and the otherworld.
At this moment, in a cave at the back of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect,
a disciple asked anxiously, “Are they really going to fight?”
“This is bad. A single sound from earlier injured so many people. What should we do if they start fighting?” The person beside him suddenly said worriedly.
The other disciples, whether they were from the inner or outer sect, were all panicking.
Some people wanted to leave the cave and go down the mountain via the cliff to avoid them.
“Quiet!”
A thunderous voice exploded in the ears of all the disciples.
At the same time, an old figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The old man pressed his hand against the wall and instantly released his internal force.
In the next moment, the walls of the cave were covered in green patterns, completely isolating it from the terrifying aura outside.
At the entrance of the mountain, three people stood in a triangular formation, with the masked man in the middle.
Chen Yiming allowed the three of them to surround him. Even though he was at the intersection of their auras, he didn’t move at all. His expression remained unchanged.
This was his confidence in the talent from the martial arts talent system. Even if he was facing three experts of the same level at the same time, he did not need to take even one step back.
“Aren’t the three of you going to make a move?” Chen Yiming asked with a smile.
He slowly pulled out the sword at his waist. At the same time, the powerful strength-based internal force surged out of his body.
“Oh no!” The expressions of the three changed.
The martial arts techniques cultivated by the three peak masters were the three parts of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect’s core cultivation technique. Together, they formed the technique for the third stage of the warrior realm.
Not only could their internal force complement each other, but so could their aura.
However, at this moment, the three of them felt an unstoppable power forcefully pushing aside their auras.
“Do it!”
Huang Lieyan, the Peak Master of the Heavenly Dipper Peak, was the first to attack.
As he slashed out, his internal force turned into a diamond-shaped, transparent spinning wheel. At first, it was only the size of a palm, but it expanded to a diameter of 10 meters in midair, becoming like a small Ferris wheel.
Along the way, a windstorm was created as though a typhoon had swept past. A substantial cutting force spread out continuously, and wherever it passed, it destroyed everything.
In the depths of the mountains of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, more than 10 elders of the sect stood on top of the cave that the disciples were hiding in.
“Is the masked man that powerful?” an elder shouted in surprise.
This elder came from the Heavenly Dipper Peak, so he could tell at a glance that the peak master, Huang Lieyan, was not testing the waters. Instead, he directly used his internal force to unleash his strongest finishing move.
The other elders at the side also had solemn expressions. No one had expected such a situation.
This was because the finishing moves were usually used to catch one off guard. Once used in front of the opponent, they would definitely be on guard against it and the effect would be greatly reduced.
In another corner of the formation, Gong Shangqin sighed. “What a pity. He’s so young, but he has to die here.”
A memory flashed in her mind. She recalled her female disciple, Li Kun, whose talent had shocked the sect master. She had broken through from a beginner to a warrior in just three years after entering the sect.
The longsword in her hand slashed out without any hesitation.
Her internal force turned into a purple flame that surrounded the masked man in the blink of an eye. The purple flame burned everything, and even light could not escape from it, causing the masked man to completely disappear from their line of sight.
In the last corner of the formation, Liang Xishan sneered. “Hehe!”
He was the last to attack, and slashed out with his sword.
His internal force transformed into a thunderbird. The thunderbird charged out from behind his sword, its wings spanning a length of more than 10 meters. With a flap of its wings that were flickering with lightning, it caught up to the spinning wheel and purple flames in front of it.
The three peak masters joined forces and used their finishing moves right from the start.
The three martial arts techniques were originally from the same source, and the combination of their internal forces could complement each other’s strengths. They had never thought of letting the masked man walk out of there alive.
At the top of the cave where the disciples were hiding from the danger,
“Protect the cave.”
All the elders’ expressions changed drastically as they jumped down.
Each of them placed their hands on the walls of the cave. Internal force seeped out of their bodies and was absorbed by the cave walls.
For an instant, the cave shone brightly, and the walls emitted a dazzling green light.
The walls could absorb and modify the internal force of an ordinary warrior, creating an effect similar to the transformation of internal force.
