Chapter 110 - 110 Desperate Situation 1
Boom!
High above, Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong engaged in fierce combat against Lu Tianxiang, who was being thoroughly overpowered.
“Pfft-
After being sent flying a distance, Lu Tianxiang steadied herself, coughing up blood, her posture extremely disheveled.
Her right hand tightly gripped a whip, two meters in length, a magical treasure refined from rare materials and of supreme grade Earth-level quality.
After clashing for a dozen or so moves, Lu Tianxiang was severely injured; despite using all her martial techniques, she still couldn’t withstand the combined efforts of the two Great Grandmasters.
Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong, one to the left and one to the right, attacked simultaneously. Their weapons swung with explosive force, while their other hands continued without pause—either striking with palms or swinging fists—each movement infused with their own martial intent, greatly enhancing their combat ability.
Having nearly been surreptitiously killed by the Mother of No Birth, the two Great Grandmasters no longer harbored any thoughts of capturing her alive; they only wished to quickly slay the Mother of No Birth and then return to report.
With no other choice, Lu Tianxiang struggled to defend herself, swinging the long whip with her right hand while her left hand executed the Vacuum Palm Imprint with a horizontal strike.
Thud!
Lu Tianxiang was sent flying again, her breath weakened yet further, her complexion turning three shades paler, a sight that stirred pity.
“It seems you truly have no more tricks up your sleeve, ” Wan Guiyuan said with a cold laugh.
Yang Tianxiong and Wan Guiyuan advanced upon her, shouting, “Die.”
Suppressing her injuries, Lu Tianxiang brought her hands together, forming a complex hand seal in an instant before pushing hard towards the front with her palms apart.
The moment the seal was formed, the sky was filled with star-fire once again, each spark resembling a lotus blooming with radiance, as if purifying all filth in the world and creating a sanctuary.
Simultaneously, a halo emerged behind Lu Tianxiang’s head, igniting in an instant and supplementing the White Lotus Secret Method, making the number of Galaxy Fire Lotuses in the night sky surge to over forty thousand.
Tens of thousands of Galaxy Fire Lotuses surged forward, colliding and erasing the attacks of Yang Tianxiong and Wan Guiyuan before bombarding the two approaching Great Grandmasters.
Yang Tianxiong and Wan Guiyuan seemed to have anticipated this move, retreating just as Lu Tianxiang unleashed the White Lotus Secret Method.
Their evasion meant the attack did not touch them, but rather, it blasted a large mountain to pieces.
“The same move again, do you have any more? Show them all,” Yang Tianxiong said indifferently, his tone mocking.
Previously during their pursuit of the Mother of No Birth, she had used this move, burning three Faith Halos and greatly increasing her strength, repelling them and successfully escaping.
Now the Mother of No Birth had only ignited one Halo, presumably the only one she had left.
The power of the White Lotus Secret Method with three burning Faith Halos was too strong; they would have died resisting it head-on, but with just one burning Halo, the power was greatly reduced, and they could withstand it.
But neither of them wanted to bear it forcibly; why get injured if they could simply avoid it?
Watching the two Great Grandmasters gradually approach, keen on initiating another wave of attacks, Lu Tianxiang felt a sense of despair filling her, her entire body overwhelmed by powerlessness.
She truly had no strength left to resist.
All her trump cards had been used up, even the Faith Halo had been burned, significantly reducing her strength. Combined with her serious injuries, her combat ability had now fallen below the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
After such a prolonged battle, with no one coming to her aid, it was clear that no reinforcements would arrive.
Several fights involving Great Grandmasters had erupted that evening; the first was between her and a mysterious Great Grandmaster, drawing attention from all sides and leading to her being pursued by two Great Grandmasters.
Subsequently, she had clashed with the two Great Grandmasters numerous times, moving across various locations. Given the length of time and still no one had come to help, it was evident that the forces behind her had abandoned her.
Lu Tianxiang was acutely aware that her backing forces had begun implementing the third stage of their plan in the Da Qian, deploying quite a few Great Grandmasters; her own uncle had also arrived.
With her uncle’s cultivation at the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, even if he was on the other side of Da Qian, he should have arrived by now.
He didn’t come, meaning he either didn’t want to or couldn’t.
Since my uncle has taken such good care of me and yet still couldn’t make it here, it means that one of those important figures must have arrived in the Daqian Empire and suppressed him.
My uncle is very strong and is just a step away from the True Martial Realm, but a step away is like a chasm, and in the face of Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, he has no power to fight back; he would be killed with a flip of the hand.
Lu Tianxiang knew she had made a grave mistake that would disrupt the plans of the forces behind her, but she didn’t intend for this to happen.
She was merely trying to capture a cultivator from the Gangyuan Realm. Who would have known she’d be intercepted by a mysterious Great Grandmaster, triggering the subsequent events that led her into a desperate situation.
“Huff-”
Lu Tianxiang let out a deep breath, realizing she was in a desperate situation with no one to rescue her. Yet, in her heart, there was still a glimmer of hope that someone would step forward to save her.
This great battle was being watched by all parties, each eager to know whether the Daqian Empire would be able to kill or capture the Mother of the Unborn alive.
The three Elders of the Yinyang Sect were watching too, enjoying the show from the sidelines without any intention of intervening.
Although the Mother of the Unborn had some cooperation with him, she was not a Great Grandmaster of the Yinyang Sect; hence, her death would not compel him to act on her behalf.
If he intervened, things would escalate quickly. Prince Wu’an would surely take action, and he would be unable to escape death. One thing leading to another, the Yinyang Sect would be forced into the limelight too early and become the primary target.
In Tianxuan Mountain, Gongsun Yun was also watching with a calm gaze, not planning to intervene. He dared not get involved even less.
The Mother of the Unborn was neither kin nor kind to him. What reason would he have to stand up for her?
Doing so would offend Prince Wu’an and bring a catastrophe of annihilation upon Tianxuan Mountain.
Mr. Lan had infiltrated the Yinyang Sect to track down Han Li’s whereabouts. Although he guessed that the confusion was a trap laid by Han Li, he still had to investigate it; only if he truly couldn’t find anything could he return to report back.
In Huozhou City, Prince Wu’an was still fishing. His Spiritual Sense was vast, able to cover a radius of five hundred thousand li, comparable to an ordinary cultivator of the True Martial Realm. Once he expanded it, he could easily scan over half the province.
He had been paying attention to the chase the entire time, saw Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong trying to capture the Mother of the Unborn alive, almost getting killed by deception; saw the Mother of the Unborn getting caught up to, pushed by the two into a corner.
Yet, he was also unable to find Han Li’s whereabouts. Although his Spiritual Sense was much stronger than Han Li’s, the distance was too great, beyond his range of coverage, and Han Li seemed to be deliberately concealing his tracks.
Han Li was also watching all this from afar, whether to capture or kill, he needed to wait for the right moment.
If the Mother of the Unborn showed signs of speaking about the Rebirth Pill, he would strike immediately to suppress her.
If not, he would wait until the Mother of the Unborn had no more power to resist before making his move, lest after saving her, she might launch a surprise attack on him.
He was also waiting for Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong to lower their guard, meanwhile scouting the surrounding area to ensure there were no other
Supreme Grade Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm hiding around.
In Hanzhou, to the east of Jingzhou, lay the easternmost large province of the Qian Dynasty.
This was also the location chosen by the Mysterious Forces, where Fengbo Pavilion was established deep in a mountain range spanning tens of thousands of li.
In the depths of the mountain range, in a courtyard, Lu Tianxiang’s uncle, the blue-robed Envoy, was anxiously waiting for news.
The news of Lu Tianxiang being pursued had arrived early, followed by updates. Those two Grandmasters were still after her, and he desperately wanted to know if Lu Tianxiang had managed to escape.
“If Tianxiang is dead, I will make sure you all are buried with her,” the blue-robed Envoy murmured.
Just because he cannot act now does not mean he won’t have the opportunity in the future. The Sect plans to overthrow the Daqian Empire, and sooner or later, he will confront Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong. Then, it will be their time to die.
On the battlefield, Lu Tianxiang regained her composure. She was fully prepared to fight to the death, hoping she could take down one or two Grandmasters with her, or at the very least, severely injure them.
However, Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong showed no signs of approaching, clearly on guard against her, not giving her the chance to bring them down with her.
