Chapter 65 - : Cannot Bear To

Lei Shao: “…”

King Zhennan: “…”

Everyone else: “…”

So… what exactly happened?!

King Zhennan had unleashed such an earth-shattering attack. Logically speaking, even if it was another eighth level Dao Platform Realm cultivator or the other three dukes of Xuanwu Kingdom, no one would not be able to ignore it so easily.

Yet, right in front of everyone, the attack that was like a volcanic eruption seemed to have been crushed by an invisible force and dissipated into nothingness in an instant!

The arrogant Five Elements Sect Master opened his mouth again and again, but when he saw King Zhennan’s expression, he obediently chose to shut up.

“The situation… seems a little off…”

The Sect Master of the Tianjue Sect was the first to notice the abnormality. King Zhennan’s increasingly awkward expression made him feel uneasy for no reason. The uneasiness was like the shadow of nightfall that kept spreading in his heart.

“Ha… Hahahaha!”

In the Thousand Autumn Valley, Lei Shao was stunned for a moment before he laughed loudly. “Qi Hong! Is this your so-called fiery anger? It’s just a flame that can be extinguished in one breath. I don’t expect the dignified King Zhennan to be done so quickly…”

Through all the little clues, he had already deduced a portion of the truth.

The old sect master had been in seclusion for a long time. If he was able to come out, he would have already made a move. At this moment, there was only one person left who could secretly stop King Zhennan…

Feng Xia!

“Fellow brother Feng, you’re still on the verge of a breakthrough. You’ve already done enough to block three attacks for us. Later on… don’t use your cultivation base rashly.”

Lei Shao did not look in the direction of Qionghua Courtyard, afraid that King Zhennan, Qi Hong, would notice something amiss. Instead, he said silently in his heart, “The future of the Thousand Autumn Valley… still depends on us to take a gamble!”

King Zhennan’s expression was dark. When he heard this, he said coldly, “Lei Shao, talking so much won’t make you live longer. On the contrary… it will only make you die faster!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blazing Flame Eagle under his feet suddenly flapped its wings and let out an ear-piercing cry. It was like a meteor falling from the nine heavens. With a loud bang, it carried King Zhennan and charged towards Lei Shao!

“It’s King Zhennan’s famous killing move!”

The Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He sneered with a ferocious expression and said, “This Lei Shao has done all kinds of evil things and killed many experts from our sect over the past few days. Fortunately, King Zhennan is here now. Now, it’s finally his turn to be executed!”

“King Zhennan… is not without weaknesses.”

Under the light of the raging flames, Lei Shao was unprecedentedly calm.

In the past, he had entered the Dao Platform Realm at a young age. Together with Liu Chuanyuan, he was known as one of the Thousand Autumn Valley Dual Heroes. He was still basking in the limelight when he was suddenly attacked by King Zhennan, Qi Hong, and his cultivation was almost completely destroyed!

Even though he cultivated diligently later on, his foundation was damaged and he could not recover his peak even up till today.

“All these years… I’m not just daydreaming!”

Lei Shao suddenly let out a loud shout and swallowed the medicinal pill that he had prepared long ago. His clear and bright Sword-Heart shone brightly as he raised his hand and reached out towards the sky. His body crystallized quickly as a faint purple fluorescent light emitted from under his skin.

From afar, it looked as if Lei Shao had turned into a purple crystal being. His entire body lit up with a dazzling glow. It was the light of the Ways of the Sword that was emitting a unique sharp divine light!

Connate Purple Radiant Sword Body!

“Qi Hong, for so many years… I’ve been thinking about taking your life every day and every moment!”

Crack—

The sea of fire raged, but the purple sword light became even wilder and more domineering. It was incomparably sharp as it cut through the waves and split the sky in half!

In fact, the purple sword beam continued to shine endlessly. After cutting through the sea of fire, its momentum did not decrease at all. Instead, it erupted with even more frigid might and slashed at King Zhennan’s face!

“Ah…”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, blood splattered everywhere while accompanied by a shrill scream!

The Blazing Flame Eagle under King Zhennan also let out a sad cry. It was suppressed by the shocking sharpness and its huge body lost control and fell to the ground involuntarily.

With their powerful eyesight, the Dao Platform Realm Champions could see that a hideous wound had been torn open on the square face of King Zhennan, Qi Hong. The flesh split open and blood flowed freely, the slash almost splitting his face into two parts!

The wound was so deep that the bones could be seen.

There was also a purple glow circulating around, preventing the flesh from healing itself.

“There’s hope! There’s still hope!”

Lei Shao noticed this point earlier than anyone else and felt a sense of fervor in his heart. “In the end, Qi Hong was still too careless. As long as we can take the opportunity to severely injure him, we might be able to stall for time until the Sect Master comes out of seclusion…”

He had more or less guessed that the old Sect Master might not have broken through to the Primal Core Realm yet.

However, since the old Sect Master was still in seclusion, there would be more hope for the Thousand Autumn Valley as long as they could drag the fight out!

“Based on the strength displayed by the Purple Radiant Sword Body, I can still unleash three strikes… Kill!”

Lei Shao roared and channeled all his cultivation to transform his body into a sword as he slashed out a second time!

In midair, the falling King Zhennan had nowhere to retreat and could only suffer the second sword strike. His entire body was covered in blood and there was even a wound on his neck. He was almost cut into half on the spot!

“There’s hope… there’s really hope!”

Lei Shao became more and more excited. The Connate Purple Radiant Sword Body was a hidden killing move that he had honed for many years and it was specifically targeted at King Zhennan, Qi Hong. Now that he had used it, the effect was even more shocking than he had expected!

At this moment, a flighty voice sounded.

“Qi Hong… are you unable to perform?”

It was a frivolous female voice. At first, it was still very far away, but in just a few moments, it arrived above the Thousand Autumn Valley and the owner of the voice brought King Zhennan out of Lei Shao’s range of attack.

Lei Shao was stunned and looked up in disbelief, his eyes revealing a trace of despair.

It was a woman in a long colored glaze dress. Smoke swirled behind and around her, making it difficult to see her true appearance.

However, the moment he saw the woman, Lei Shao’s heart quickly sank to rock bottom.

“King Zhendong of the East…”

There were already two of the four dukes here!

“How… how can we still fight…” Lei Shao’s voice was trembling.

One King Zhennan had already made him use his trump card and he had to rely on the advantage of a sneak attack to barely be able to severely injure him. With the arrival of another King Zhendong…

Furthermore, after the two dukes, that person who was the strongest would soon arrive!

No matter what…

He could not see any chance of survival!

“The heavens want to end my Thousand Autumn Valley…” Lei Shao looked desperate as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“Sigh…”

Suddenly, a long sigh echoed in the sky above the Thousand Autumn Valley. Immediately after, a white-haired figure walked over from the end of the valley. With every step he took, golden springs surged under his feet and carried him towards the two dukes.

Lei Shao’s body immediately trembled. “Master… Master, why are you…”

The old Sect Master Ji Qixi glanced at him and shook his head with a smile. “Silly child, I can’t bear to.”

“Fellow practitioners, since you want to destroy the orthodoxy of my Thousand Autumn Valley…”

After saying that, the old sect master turned to the two dukes with an intense smile on his aged face. “Are you ready to die?”
