C31

Luo Ning was fifty-eight years old this year. He was the head elder of the Green Shadow Peak, and had been in the Sect for forty-four years. His cultivation was at the Great Perfection Stage of the late fifth meridian. The cultivation technique was the "Heart of the Tree Azure Sun Art". It was specialized in sword arts, such as the Willow Sword Deity Technique, the Green Leaf Sword Technique, and the Heavenly Forest Divine Sword Technique. It focused on gentle offense and soft defense.

However, right now, the moves that Rhonin was using were sharp, ruthless, and fatal. Every time he struck out with his sword, it would aim for a vital point. As the energy flowed through his body, the heart tree wooden sword in Rhonin's hand was like a loach that was not drilled at all, like a fish dragon diving into the sea!

As for the other two Elders of Green Shadow Peak, they were also not mortals. The two tree-heart wooden swords combined with Luo Ning and formed a sky full of blue energy sword net, blocking off Lin Mu Ya and Jing Yi San's path!

Although his cultivation level was lower than the three Green Shadow Peak Elders, he was still extremely nimble, shuttling around the three of them, occasionally throwing out a punch, and occasionally changing into a palm strike. Carrying a hand full of golden light, the golden light did not lose out in the slightest against the green meridian Qi emitted by the three heart tree elders!

There wasn't much of a difference in cultivation level, and Jing Yixian didn't completely fall into the limelight when he fought against Luo Ning and the other two. On the contrary, with Lin Mu Ya and little servant on the side restraining them, Jing Yin became a Elite Armament, restraining and delaying the movements and attacks of Luo Ning and the other two!

Mu Xinshu was constantly retreating. Although Lin Mu Ya and Xiaonu were at the fifth meridian stage, they weren't at the fifth meridian stage. Compared to Luo Ning, who was at the fifth meridian stage, they were still lacking. Therefore, the three of them had been forced back by Ronin and company!

Behind him was the main entrance to Tranquil Heart Palace. Mu Xinshu stopped and reached out to grab the heart wooden sword on his waist!

He only had one chance. Mu Xinshu knew that with his current cultivation, he could only use surprise attack as his main method! Lin Mu Ya, little servant, and Jing Yi, the three of them were still not comparable to the five Meridian Stage Elders of Green Shadow Peak.

If he wanted to kill Rhonin, he would have to rely on himself!

Mu Xinshu only needed one strike, but the chances of one strike weren't many. Moreover, it was very difficult to appear. Mu Xinshu was not very familiar with the Wild Character and Proud Character Formula. He could only use the sword intent he had comprehended from the Proud Sword Techniques to combine them with the sword art he had learned in the past. He was hoping that he would be able to unleash a power that would satisfy him!

Lin Mu Ya and the little servant were both panting and drenched in sweat from the besieging of the three Elders of the Core Sect. His clothes were drenched, and half of his snow-white skin could be faintly seen by Mu Xinshu!

Mu Xinshu wasn't moved at all. He stood at the entrance of Tranquil Heart Palace, his right hand placed on the heart sword at his waist, quietly waiting for the opportunity to strike! In front of them, Lin Mu Ya and Xiaonu, who were blocking the three elders, were gradually retreating!

Every time Jing Yixian struck out with his fist and palm, it did not seem to be able to cause any harm to Rhonin and the other two elders! Or perhaps it was because of this reason that the three of them did not seem to care about Jing Yi at all! Jing Yi, who was in the middle part of the fourth meridian, could not even materialize his zhen qi yet. It was as if they did not put him in their eyes!

Every time the Silent Monk's palm struck, it would leave a trace of golden energy in the air, lingering for a long time. After Jingyan threw out more than a hundred punches, the golden meridian aura in the surroundings became more intense. Rhonin frowned slightly, as if sensing danger. His heart skipped a beat and he slowed down his attack! When Wang Dingchang and Jun Yaotian saw this, they hurriedly slowed down their offense and changed it to a defensive stance!

However, it was already too late. The faint golden meridian Qi that had been floating in the air all gathered together with the strange movements of the Solitary Monk's hand in an instant. It quickly formed dozens of golden virtual swords. With lightning speed, they rushed towards Rhonin! Rhonin's pupils contracted as he took a step forward and retreated like an arrow!

"Bam!" The endless golden light and sword shadows collided with the tree-heart wooden sword in Rhonin's hand. Suddenly, a powerful energy exploded and rays of light shot out in all directions, immediately blasting Rhonin far away.

His hair was disheveled and his face disheveled. Blood dripped from his face, and countless golden sword shadows filled the sky. Even though he was a master of the Great Perfection Stage, he still couldn't escape this fate.

Wang Dingchang and Jun Yaotian both retreated, standing together with Luo Ning on the opposite side of Mu Xinshu and the others. Luo Ning, whose face was covered in blood, had a dazed look on his face, as if he couldn't believe what was happening.

Most of the time, the difference in strength between a cultivator and a cultivator did not depend on the level of their cultivation base. Those with low cultivation base relied on cultivation techniques and equipment to fight against those with higher cultivation base.

However, it was different in Rhonin. His cultivation had been stuck at the fifth meridian stage for decades and he had rich experience in understanding and researching the energy and meridians. He had mastered cultivation below the fifth meridian. Luo Ning believed that he had an absolute understanding and advantage over those below the fifth meridian stage!

Rhonin didn't think that, with his many years of knowledge in cultivation, he would be injured by a person whose cultivation was lower than his by a large level, a Tranquil One Monk. It was a golden sword shadow. The wound on his face was bleeding profusely!

Lin Mu Ya and little servant were panting as they stood beside Mu Xinshu. Jingyi smilingly looked at Luo Ning's face which was covered in blood. Luo Ning wiped his face, and the blood instantly disappeared, revealing his original face. Other than a few wounds on it, all the blood had disappeared!

Mu Xinshu suddenly took a step forward. Although it was just one step, it was enough to attract the attention of everyone present.

The person who hadn't taken the initiative to attack since the beginning, had finally started to move. After taking a step forward, Luo Ning's eyes immediately focused, because he could clearly see that Lin Mu Ya and little servant, who were standing by Mu Xinshu's side, had also advanced!

Mu Xinshu was a person with a heart tree sword, but he exuded a killing intent that Rhonin had never seen before.

Killing intent was an aura that only existed after killing someone. Rhonin would also release it, but the killing intent from Mu Xinshu was so strong that Rhonin had never felt it before.

One step, two steps. Lin Mu Ya and little servant were one position ahead of Mu Xinshu on the left and right. The three of them advanced at the same time, their steps were the same. On the side, the One Monk Jing put his hands together and lowered his head, not moving at all.
