Chapter 216 - Situation
“Elder Chen, you…”
A sect elder at the side looked at Elder Chen who had just struck at Wen Xuan with widened eyes. He asked in confusion before realizing what was going on.
However, the moment he said that, his expression changed and finally understood what had happened.
Someone had betrayed the sect!
That person was Elder Chen before him who was hidden in their midst!
A gust of cold air rushed up from his back as that elder retreated instinctively. Placing his palm on his storage bag, he withdrew a protection talisman.
However, Elder Chen was even faster!
The moment his attack failed to kill Wen Xuan, Elder Chen swapped away his flying sword immediately and conjured a seal with his left hand, producing a resplendent glow.
Level 2, Void.
Due to the extreme speed of the flying sword, it would be almost merged into the void, turning almost imperceptible and one would be hard-pressed to notice it with their naked eyes.
Level 3, Ethereal.
At this point, it wasn’t just the flying sword’s speed that would have reached its peak, turning void and impossible to detect. By now, the cultivator would have reached a level of sword manipulation mastery such that they could control it as their minds willed with extreme proficiency.
Extremely fast with a void sword that was unpredictable, the attack would be ethereal.
Level 3 was the most difficult to cultivate.
In Ethereal Peak, only Golden Cores who had mastered Level 3 of Ethereal Sword were qualified to be Spirit Peak’s master.
Furthermore, almost every generation of Spirit Peak’s masters were the strongest of the Golden Cores in Ethereal Peak!
Even though he was guarded by the protection talisman, Elder Chen was injured by Wen Xuan’s sword as well.
If Peng Fei had not blocked the second strike, Elder Chen would have died on the spot!
Changing the topic, Elder Chen sneered, “However, all of you will have to die here today! No one will be able to leave!”
“You can try!”
Wen Xuan was not afraid, standing in the air in front of the many Ethereal Peak disciples.
Right then, Wen Xuan, Elder Yu and another sect elder were the only Golden Cores on the side of Ethereal Peak.
On the opposing end, including Elder Chen, there were 11 Golden Cores!
Suddenly, another situation occurred!
Feng Haoyu, who was in the crowd, suddenly attacked!
Three spirit patterns coruscated on his sword – it was a superior-grade flying sword!
It streaked through the crowd, causing blood to spill.
One of the three great legacy disciples, Luo Yi, who was standing not far away from Feng Haoyu did not react in time. Astonishment filled his eyes as his head was lopped up.
Until the moment of his death, he still hadn’t realized what had happened.
That attack was a reaping of lives!
Disciple after another collapsed in a pool of blood, unable to rest in peace.
The many Ethereal Peak disciples were not prepared in the slightest bit.
Even though Su Zimo had warned loudly earlier on, Elder Chen’s betrayal still caused a sect elder to die.
When Wen Xuan took action, the intense clash between two Golden Cores drew everyone’s attention to it.
Su Zimo felt his scalp tingle as he watched on with gritted teeth. A murderous killing intent rose in his heart and his eyes were filled with boundless coldness, causing an extremely terrifying aura to exude from his body!
In reality, Su Zimo had already vaguely guessed that Elder Chen and Feng Haoyu were the spies.
However, that was just his speculation.
Furthermore, Su Zimo did not know whether there were other traitors beside those two.
That was why Su Zimo reminded everyone to disperse because there were spies in the sect.
He never expected that his reminder would still fail to save his fellow sect mates who had died.
Those that died were the ones standing closest to Feng Haoyu.
In other words, they were the followers of Feng Haoyu’s group.
Right now, Feng Haoyu was slashing them down mercilessly without hesitation – his eyes were filled with nothing but coldness and cruelty.
That initially handsome face of Feng Haoyu was now extremely hideous and menacing!
Among them, the one who suffered the greatest blow was Spirit Peak’s master, Wen Xuan.
Feng Haoyu was someone that he had deemed as his personal disciple and imparted his entire life’s learnings to.
Even that superior-grade flying sword in Feng Haoyu’s hands was a gift from Wen Xuan.
Most Foundation Establishment Cultivators would only have nothing more than a middle-grade flying sword.
Even as Spirit Peak’s master, Wen Xuan was only using a superior-grade flying sword as well.
The fact that he gave Feng Haoyu a superior-grade flying sword was proof of how highly he regarded and loved the latter.
And yet…
