“That Gatekeeper Taoist looks like he’s about to give in,” Lin Ning said suddenly as she looked into the distance.
Just as the Mirror Immortal had predicted, press on with initial success, weaken upon the second attempt, and exhaust completely on the third. Without any supplementary True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent, unless one could kill all the gods and buddhas instantly, they would eventually be worn down by the opposition.
Initially, when the Gatekeeper Taoist wielded his sword, he could not only easily break through swathes of Buddha’s Light but also incinerate the gods and buddhas behind it; now, the sword light had dimmed considerably, and when he struck again, he could only burn away a little of the Buddha’s Light. It seemed like a hundred refining steels meeting soft fingers, where only a tenth of its power could be exerted, and falling into a disadvantage was just a matter of time.
Of course, the Gatekeeper Taoist would not accept defeat, shouting slogans like “True Obscurity aid me” and “Slay all evil demons,” but Cultivation isn’t entirely about wishful thinking. No matter how loud the slogans were shouted, they couldn’t ignite a small universe. They only served to annoy everyone present.
“We’re going to lose,” Chen Lingyun said indifferently. “Does that person have any suggestions?”
Lin Ning had already communicated the Mirror Immortal’s affair to everyone through spiritual consciousness transmission. The ladies held different attitudes, but since the item was in the captain’s possession, they trusted her enough to insist that Ningning must not act rashly or believe blindly in what the Mirror Immortal said. Whatever the Mirror Immortal suggested, they had to consult with the captain and not act on their own.
“She said,” Lin Ning relayed, “that without a supplement to the True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent, we’re basically set to lose. All we have to do is wait for the other side to determine the victor, then specifically target the isolated Arhat Bodhisattvas for sneak attacks, and slowly grind each of them down until we finish them off—they may be powerful individually, but they don’t actually possess much Spiritual Wisdom.”
Slowly grinding them down… This was indeed a strategy, but it would take an egregious amount of time. Staying in the Mysterious Realm for ten days or half a month, wouldn’t Lu Country go mad with worry?
“Is there no other way?” Yan Yu asked. “Didn’t the founding ancestor of the Zhenmei Sword Sect leave more fail-safe measures within the sect?”
“None,” Lin Ning continued to relay. “With your technical operation, captain, if you were to take over the True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent, you might be able to eliminate all those Arhat Bodhisattvas. As for this Intention Body Taoist, upon encountering a battle he only knows to attack fiercely, ignorant of the principle of conserving Sword Intent. He is perfectly countered by their softness overcoming his hardness, and of course, he has no chance of winning.”
Yan Yu scoffed with a cold laugh, “Let me take control of the True Obscurity Sun Sword’s Sword Intent? It’s not worthy! Despite being stronger than the opposing gods and buddhas, it ended up in this state, and now it wants to shift the blame to the Sword Holder, offering it up to me. I wouldn’t accept it even if it were free!”
Before the Mirror Immortal could respond, suddenly, a shocking and horribly tragic scream of the Gatekeeper Taoist filled the air:
“No! Why! Wait a moment…”
Before the voice faded, a ten-thousand-foot blaze soared into the sky, swirling violently in the air for a moment, then, like a meteor, it plunged straight down, right at Yan Yu, who was standing with the others!
Yan Yu tried to use the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step to dodge, but the blaze was so fast that no matter how he moved, it came at him with overwhelming speed, and slammed right into his chest… He felt a scorching heat in his chest, then as if he were branded with a red-hot iron, it traveled up his spine and rushed into the Spirit Mansion and Sea of Consciousness.
“Do you say I’m not worthy?” A majestic voice echoed in his mind, like the evening drum and morning bell, causing his forehead to buzz.
Yan Yu was slightly taken aback, then realized—it was the True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent!
This thing heard me badmouthing it behind its back, so it directly abandoned the Gatekeeper Taoist and rushed into my body!
“Did I say anything wrong?” Yan Yu was unafraid as he retorted, “If you lacked Spiritual Wisdom and were merely an inanimate object, it would be one thing. But having Spiritual Wisdom, why didn’t you advise? You indulged him in squandering Sword Intent, exhausting you completely, and ultimately losing to a group of opponents you could’ve defeated. Is that something to be proud of?”
“Bold!” The voice roared in anger, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll sever your essence and annihilate your Divine Soul?!”
“You couldn’t slay those demons and ghosts, so now you come to cut with good sword!” Yan Yu countered mockingly.
“You!” The voice abruptly choked, then shouted angrily after a long moment, “Very well!”
“The sword is yours, you take the slash! If you can’t eradicate these demons and ghosts, I’ll drain your True Yuan and let you know the consequences of speaking nonsense!”
