Chapter 279: Stay at Your Hand

"Rumble, rumble..."

Several arcs of thunder fell, landing on the Thunderbolt Sword in Lei Zhen's hands. All of a sudden, the Thunderbolt Sword was released with purple light, lightning, and thunder.

Soon after a "chuck" sound, the Thunderbolt Sword drew an arc in the air, stabling Mo Xiu like an electric flash of thunder.

Mo Xiu didn't dodge or avoid, letting the Thunderbolt Sword slash him.

The sword energy entered his body, and the Thunder Sword Intent spread through his body. It was like a billowing thunder, continuously destroying Mo Xiu's body.

However, after a while, Mo Xiu did not to fall to the ground as everyone expected. His body that was torn apart by the sword energy also healed back.

"Huh?"

Lei Zhen frowned, "Why hasn't he died?"

As his mind turned, he once again activated his sword intent, the sword went out with thunder, and a sword energy with Thunder Sword Intent struck Mo Xiu again.

With a "poof", Mo Xiu's body was once again torn apart by sword energy, and the Thunder Sword Intent continued to roll, trying to tear Mo Xiu's body into pieces.

However, under the effect of the Myriad Wood Spirit Art, the Thunder Sword Intent was quickly purified and stored in Mo Xiu's body.

This time, Lei Zhen could finally confirm that his Thunder Sword Intent really couldn't kill Mo Xiu.

However, he had already taken action, so naturally it was impossible to stop like that. So regardless of the effect, he used his sword intent several times in a row, smashing various parts of Mo Xiu's body.

"Puff, puff…"

Mo Xiu's body was torn apart by Sword energy time and time again, but soon he returned to a state of unharmed, and even the clothes on his body seemed to have just been put on. There was no trace of being torn.

"How come!" Lei Zhen suddenly couldn't believe it.

The people who were watching at the gate of the scripture pavilion were also stunned. They all knew that Mo Xiu might have some means, but they didn't expect that this was his means.

Not to mention killing Mo Xiu, Lei Zhen couldn't even hurt Mo Xiu's half hair even with his all-out attack. During the whole battle, Mo Xiu never took action as if it was just Lei Zhen's comical performance from beginning to end.

"I said, you can't kill me," Mo Xiu looked at Lei Zhen and said calmly.

Lei Zhen was a little annoyed. He didn't use his sword intent anymore, this time, he only raised his sword to slash and chop Mo Xiu madly.

Mo Xiu still didn't dodge. He let Lei Zhen chop him with Thunderbolt Sword, but the result was no different. Even if Mo Xiu's body was cut in half, or even cut into countless pieces, he could eventually recover to his original state.

"You...what on earth is this crooked evil technique?!" Lei Zhen asked in disbelief, panting with exhaustion.

"Evil technique?" Mo Xiu scoffed. "When you can't kill me, you can only say I practiced crooked evil technique?"

Lei Zhen didn't deny it, "What if I can't kill you? Even if I can't kill you, I can deal with you!"

As he said, he rushed to grab Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu knew Lei Zhen's plan, but he wouldn't let Lei Zhen succeed easily. With a thought, he used his phantom supernatural power to come behind Lei Zhen.

"Puff…"

After Lei Zhen caught on Mo Xiu's phantom, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned around.

He quickly raised his hand and grabbed Mo Xiu, who was behind him, but Mo Xiu reacted faster than him, and what was caught in his hand was still a phantom.

"Puff, puff…"

Several phantoms were pierced in a row.

Mo Xiu's real body finally appeared above Lei Zhen's head, looking at Lei Zhen condescendingly.

"You can't kill me, and you also can't catch me," Mo Xiu's voice rang again.

Lei Zhen was immediately angry. He couldn't help roaring, "Mo Xiu, if you have the ability, just fight me openly and stop dodging! Are you even a man!"

"I only said that you can't kill me and you can't catch me, but I didn't say that I want to fight you."

Mo Xiu's figure flashed and came to Lei Zhen, "It's not impossible to fight you either, but are you sure?"

Lei Zhen froze for a moment, and said with a sneer, "How can I be unsure? You dare not, because you are not my opponent at all!"

"I'm not your opponent? You value yourself too much."

Leaving his voice behind, Mo Xiu's body shook suddenly, and an unusually violent force burst out with a purple storm, sweeping towards Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen was shocked, only to feel that the power erupting from Mo Xiu was somewhat familiar.

However, before he could figure out what was going on, the force had already engulfed him.

"Boom..."

A loud bang sounded. If it weren't for Mo Xiu's deliberate control, the entire Wonder Sword Peak would've been razed to the ground already.

When the rumbling subsided, the purple storm disappeared, and a dark figure appeared in everyone's sight.

If it weren't for that figure to hold the Thunderbolt Sword to support his body and prevent himself from falling, everyone would not recognize him at all.

He was Lei Zhen.

"This is... Elder Lei?"

"How did he become like this? This is too embarrassing, right?"

"Looking at this, Elder Lei should be seriously injured."

"The blow just now was so strong. Isn't Elder Mo only a Sea Core Realm cultivator? He could he erupt with such a powerful blow?"

"As expected of Elder Mo. It turns out that he didn't make a move before because he was afraid that he would accidentally kill Elder Lei, and could not explain to the sect."

...

Those disciples who were watching the battle began to discuss.

Mo Xiu was naturally not as powerful as everyone imagined. If he could easily kill Lei Zhen, he would have killed Lei Zhen long ago. He wouldn't worry about not being able to explain to the sect at all.

The reason why the blow just now was so powerful was that the power of Lei Zhen's sword intent didn't explode after entering his body.

After the power of the sword intent had accumulated several times, when it exploded at the same time, it would naturally form a big purple storm.

This was also the reason why when Lei Zhen looked at the purple storm, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't tell why he felt familiar.

The blow just now had drained out all the Thunder Sword Intent power stored in Mo Xiu's body. Under this circumstance, Mo Xiu would naturally not be able to explode such a powerful blow, but the thunder shock that abruptly hit Lei Zhen made Lei Zhen frightened.

Until now, he hadn't understood what was going on. He only knew that if he took another blow of the same power, he would definitely not be able to hold it, and he would be wiped out on the spot.

When he saw Mo Xiu raise his hand and want to attack him again, he shivered suddenly, turned and ran away.

At this time, a voice suddenly rang, "Elder Lei, stay at your hand!"

It was the voice of Cao Tianfang!

Lei Zhen suddenly seemed to have encountered a savior, and immediately ran towards Cao Tianfang and said in a hoarse voice: "Sect Master, save me!"

"..."

Cao Tianfang was dumbfounded.

After noticing that someone was using Thunder Sword Intent to start a battle on Wonder Sword Peak, he realized that it was likely that Lei Zhen was going to kill Mo Xiu.

Originally, he didn't want to be more concerned. After all, he heard that Mo Xiu's scripture pavilion contained a lot of good techniques. If Mo Xiu died, he would be able to take those techniques in the name of the sect.

Besides, Mo Xiu was an elder from the Seraphic Sword Sect, not an elder trained by the Everlasting Sword Sect.

However, Dong Wanqian approached Cao Tianfang later, saying that he owed Mo Xiu's favor, so that Cao Tianfang must come forward to save Mo Xiu's life.

Cao Tianfang didn't want to ignore his junior completely, so when he thought that Lei Zhen might have solved Mo Xiu, he rushed to Wonder Sword Peak, intending to stop him symbolically and let Lei Zhen stay at his hand.

If Lei Zhen hadn't killed Mo Xiu, then he could take advantage of the situation to protect Mo Xiu. And if Lei Zhen had killed Mo Xiu, then he could do some aftermath work, and catch Lei Zhen and punish him by the way. 

However, the current situation was that Mo Xiu was unscathed, but a dark person ran over to him for help.

This dark guy...

Cao Tianfang looked at the Thunderbolt Sword in this person's hand, and said uncertainly, "Elder Lei?"

"It's me," Lei Zhen nodded, and continued to say in a hoarse voice, "Sect Master, save me, Mo Xiu is going to kill me!"

"..."

Cao Tianfang suddenly didn't know what to say.

He just said to let Lei Zhen stay at his hand, now it seemed that it was not Lei Zhen who should stay at his hand, but Mo Xiu?

But what was going on?

Wasn't Lei Zhen using his sword intent to start thunder and lightning just now?

Even his sword intent had been displayed, but he still couldn't kill Mo Xiu?

It was fine if he couldn't kill Mo Xiu, but he was still messed up by Mo Xiu to this point?

Mo Xiu, an elder who came from the Seraphic Sword Sect, could only be a Sea Core Realm cultivator. How could he play Cao Tianfang so hard?

After being silent for a long time, he waved his hand and let Lei Zhen stand behind him, then looked at Mo Xiu and said, "Elder Mo, can you give me a face? We you just forget this matter?"

"Give you face?" Mo Xiu's eyes flickered.

Cao Tianfang could feel that the expression in Mo Xiu's eyes had a deep meaning.

After some thought, he said again: "Well, I will punish Elder Lei well. From now on, he and his apprentices will never enter Wonder Sword Peak for half a step. In addition, I will detain him for three months. This punishment is quite heavy; I believe it is more meaningful than killing him."

As soon as his voice fell, Lei Zhen couldn't help complaining like a wronged puppy, "Sect Master, many of my apprentices have been turned into pigs by him."

"What?" Cao Tianfang wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Mo Xiu! Mo Xiu has mastered an evil sorcery and he turned many of my apprentices into pigs. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have tried to kill him either," Lei Zhen explained.

Cao Tianfang: "..."
