Chapter 408: Chapter 30 Unforgiving Death_3
Despite his advanced age, Master Zhang reacted extremely quickly, hastily injecting his mana into the oilskin umbrella.
With the nourishment from his mana, the black oilskin umbrella shone brightly, stopping the flying sword!
“Fellow daoists, we have arrived!”
Two other Golden Core masters also jumped up immediately.
Lin Boyue, without any hesitation, also jumped behind the umbrella, infusing it with his mana.
The truth of the matter “Lips and teeth depend on each other for survival” was something he understood very well.
Facing again the combined resistance of five Golden Core masters, unexpectedly, Zhang Daobai looked elated instead of scared.
These five people in front of him represented the strongest forces of the three major sects. As long as they were removed, even if the three major sects had some more Golden Core practitioners, there was nothing to fear.
Wu Siqi can cope with it adequately.
At this thought, a firm glint flashed in Zhang Daobai’s eyes.
His mana surged wildly through the air, and the flying sword began to pierce the surface of the black oilskin umbrella bit by bit!
Realizing this, none of the five Golden Core masters dared to let go.
Instead, they each swallowed elixirs in desperation, trying to recover their mana and at the same time pouring their mana into the black oilskin umbrella.
None of them were fools; they knew very well that once they let go, the flying sword would pierce forth unopposed, ensuing more than just a couple of casualties, but total annihilation!
For a time, the struggle between both parties became a contest of their mana.
Even though Zhang Daobai was an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul with mana as vast as an ocean, his nascent soul was separated from his body, causing an alarming exhaustion on his physical body. Most of the flesh on his face had fallen off…
However, Zhang Daobai continued to channel mana from his nascent soul into the flying sword without so much as a change in his facial expression.
Soon, the flying sword was biting into the umbrella bit by bit.
Zhu Rong, who was in front, could already see the point of the blade.
He had no doubt that once the oilskin umbrella was breached, he would surely be the first one to die, even if no one else was harmed!
In the distance.
Yuan Wenzhi’s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw what was happening.
“How does maintaining a balance compare…to killing all with one net?”
His gaze quickly swept through his surroundings with vigilance.
At the moment, all the Golden Core masters, except him, were tied up in their individual battles and had no time to split their attention.
Only he was able to stay on the sidelines.
And now, his opportunity had finally arrived!
He did not approach immediately. In fact, to avoid attracting attention, he moved towards the outskirts. He even flew to Master Shen Fu’s side.
To everyone, this fit his persona–the image of a Golden Core rogue cultivator who cared greatly for his juniors from Yan State’s rogue cultivators.
He intentionally stood in front of Wang Ba, adopting a defensive stance.
Then quickly.
The eyes of Yuan Wenzhi immediately brightened!
He saw clearly that Zhang Daobai’s flying sword was about to break through the surface of the oilskin umbrella!
“It’s coming!”
Yuan Wenzhi’s gaze never left his target.
In his expectant eyes,
Crack!
The moment the flying sword completely pierced through the surface of the umbrella, the black oilskin broke apart!
“Die!”
All the flesh on Zhang Daobai’s face had fallen off!
The aura around his body also seemed a bit shaky.
However, his eyes still held a stubborn determination!
The flying sword thrust forward!
Yuan Wenzhi held his breath.
At the same time, his mana gathered quickly, and he targeted Zhang Daobai with his peripheral vision.
Regardless of whether Zhang Daobai was really as Lin Boyue described, as long as he could kill Zhang Daobai who was clearly nearing his limit after the latter killed the five Golden Core masters, their goal would be achieved early!
Thinking of this, even though he was doing his best to restrain himself, he still couldn’t stop a trace of joy from showing on his face.
However, at the very next moment, the smile on Yuan Wenzhi’s face stiffened!
Zhang Daobai’s flying sword suddenly halted right in front of Zhu Rong’s forehead.
“What…”
Zhu Rong looked confused, the other four survivors also looked confused.
In mid-air.
Zhang Daobai also abruptly halted.
His eyes revealed a hint of surprise, desolation, and unwillingness.
His lips moved slightly:
“I… I still wanted…”
At the next moment.
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
His body, as if the soul had been drawn out, fell straight down.
At this very moment.
The Golden Core masters engaged in battles, feeling a premonition, simultaneously looked up.
In the sky, a drop of red rain noiselessly fell.
Soon, the second drop followed. And then the third…
After a brief silence.
Zhu Rong shouted in ecstasy:
“Zhang Daobai… Zhang Daobai is dead! He’s actually dead!”
“Master Uncle!”
On the side of Zhenling Palace, Wu Siqi and three other Golden Core masters, all badly wounded, their faces turned deathly white!
Also at this moment.
Deep in the palace compound, a crimson remnant shadow finally broke through numerous restraints, flying into the sky. Then, as if noticing something, it moved at an astonishing speed, passing through the palaces, straight past Yuan Wenzhi, even past the protection of the Fragrance Plaque, and crashed into the forehead of Wang Ba behind him!
Wang Ba froze instantly!
Unable to move at all!
If not for the gleam still in his eyes, one would almost think he was dead.
The cultivators from the three major sects and Zhenling Palace, who were looking up at the blood rain in the sky and immersed in their feelings of joy and grief, failed to notice this event.
Only Yuan Wenzhi, who had coincidentally been standing in front of Wang Ba, saw everything clearly!
