Eternal Saber-Chapter 273 - 57: Battle of the Transformation Realm
The Profound Celestial Sect’s strategy was entirely deployed against Yuan Qingshan and Master Le Kong.
The Profound Celestial Sect Leader had already foreseen Yuan Qingshan and Master Le Kong’s reaction to this matter.
The floods in Qingzhou have caused countless deaths and injuries.
This strategy, if aimed at Yuan Taiping, would probably be utterly useless.
Even if hundreds of thousands died in Qingzhou, he wouldn’t bat an eye.
But Yuan Qingshan was different.
That’s why there was the later self-immolation at the Sacrificial Altar.
Similarly, Master Le Kong had been in seclusion for years, not concerning himself with worldly affairs.
But the flood in Qingzhou was not a natural disaster; it was the calamity of an Exotic Beast, and he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
At the foot of Xiping Temple, after all, there was another Grandmaster of Transformation Realm.
Once Master Le Kong left Xiping Temple, it gave the Profound Celestial Sect Leader a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Chen Tang believed that what was happening in Qingzhou at the moment couldn’t be hidden from the Evil Emperor.
But would the Evil Emperor intervene?
Thinking of the Evil Emperor’s temperament, Chen Tang couldn’t help but shake his head.
Let alone intervening here, even if the Profound Celestial Sect Leader acted at Xiping Temple, he doubted whether the Evil Emperor would help.
Chen Tang was previously puzzled as to why the Profound Celestial Sect had gone to such great lengths for a Sixth Grade Martial Artist like him.
Thinking back now, the tens of thousands of troops mobilized by Sun Tianlu and Zhou Haijian were probably not just for him.
The more important goal was to wipe out the Buddhist Sect forces within Qingzhou after the death of the Zen Sect!
Unfortunately, by a stroke of luck, those tens of thousands of troops were torn apart by the enraged Silver Flood Dragon, defeated beyond repair.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky, the Profound Celestial Sect Leader had already engaged with Master Le Kong, causing heaven and earth to tremble, an awe-inspiring spectacle!
The black True Dragon was also continuously attacking Master Le Kong, occasionally revealing a scale or claw amidst the dark clouds, bringing great shock.
"Buddha’s Radiant Light!"
Master Le Kong’s voice echoed.
"Move the Mountain!"
The Profound Celestial Sect Leader waved his hand, and in front of him appeared a towering mountain, descending from the sky, pressing down on Master Le Kong with irresistible force!
Rumble!
Under the suppression of this mountain, Master Le Kong was completely immobilized, only able to barely support himself with Buddha’s Light.
The True Dragon circled Master Le Kong, launching continuous assaults.
With Chen Tang’s skill, this level of battle was beyond his comprehension.
Fortunately, this battle was happening in mid-air.
If it were on the ground, the residual waves from the battle between the two men and one dragon alone would be unimaginably lethal!
This Black Dragon was originally the Black Flood Dragon kept by the Profound Celestial Sect’s Right Protector.
Later, it passed the Thunder Tribulation, transforming into a True Dragon, with combat strength equal to that of a Grandmaster of Transformation Realm, able to soar through clouds and control weather.
It’s akin to two Grandmasters of Transformation Realm attacking Master Le Kong alone.
Through the broken clouds, Chen Tang could vaguely see the diminishing Buddha’s Light from Master Le Kong’s limbs, clearly being overwhelmed!
After all, Master Le Kong was old; even if he had cultivated to the Transformation Realm, his combat strength might have waned.
Meanwhile, the Profound Celestial Sect Leader and the Black Dragon were at their peak.
With the rise and fall, the pressure on Master Le Kong was imaginable.
Chen Tang sighed inwardly.
Even if he wanted to help, he was powerless.
Moreover, his current situation wasn’t much better than Master Le Kong’s.
Whether he could escape was still unknown.
Thinking of this, Chen Tang didn’t linger and hurried westward.
"Vast Cyan Nether!"
Chen Tang hadn’t run far when a cold voice suddenly sounded at the end of the sky.
"Hmm?"
Chen Tang’s heart stirred.
This move seemed to be... the Evil Emperor!
That crazy woman actually came?
Before the thought settled, another intense ripple emanated from the sky.
Dark clouds surged, and under the influence of the Cyan Nether True Intent, hail began to fall from the sky!
"Evil Emperor!"
The Profound Celestial Sect Leader frowned deeply at the newly arrived woman.
The appearance of the Evil Emperor completely disrupted his plan.
By rights, this woman shouldn’t be so concerned about this matter.
The Profound Celestial Sect Leader said in a deep voice, "Evil Emperor, this is a grudge between my Profound Celestial Sect and the Buddhist Sect, it has nothing to do with you."
The Evil Emperor remained expressionless, not saying a word.
"Roar!"
The Black Dragon let out a low growl and glanced down, seemingly very displeased with the woman who had appeared later.
Following the Black Dragon’s gaze, Chen Tang saw a woman in a taoist robe on a mountain peak, uttering a series of strange syllables, seemingly communicating with the Black Dragon.
The Right Protector of the Profound Celestial Sect!
Indeed, there are extraordinary people in the Profound Celestial Sect.
This woman could even communicate with the Black Dragon.
Seeing that the Evil Emperor had no intention of leaving, the Profound Celestial Sect Leader couldn’t help but smile faintly, mocking, "Unexpectedly, the Evil Emperor turns out to be a person with a warm heart."
"Why waste words!"
The Evil Emperor responded and directly attacked, charging toward the Profound Celestial Sect Leader!
Indeed, no one present understood the Evil Emperor’s motives.
But Chen Tang vaguely guessed.
The Evil Emperor had no relations with Master Le Kong.
But back in the day, Master Le Kong had rescued Emperor Wu.
Now, the Evil Emperor showed up to save Master Le Kong, perhaps because of that incident!
With the Evil Emperor’s help, Master Le Kong should be out of danger.
Chen Tang relaxed and focused on escaping.
Swish!
At that moment, a few flashes of white light appeared, blocking Chen Tang’s path once more.
It was Elder Qu again!
"Where do you think you’re going!"
A loud shout sounded from the ground.
From afar, two figures were rushing over; it was Zhou Haijian and Sun Tianlu!
The two had abandoned their horses, relying on the burst of Innate True Qi, using their Lightweight Skills to chase with all their might.
In a long run, the two definitely wouldn’t outrun the Thunder Leopard.
But in a short burst, the Thunder Leopard hadn’t managed to shake them off.
A brief delay while avoiding the Flying Sword had already allowed Zhou Haijian and Sun Tianlu to catch up!
Behind them, the ground trembled, dust billowed.
The Silver Flood Dragon, covered in blood, was also charging over here!
Seems there’s no escape!
Chen Tang’s heart sank, his expression grim.
"Huh?"
The Profound Celestial Sect’s Right Protector frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.
How did the Silver Flood Dragon end up here?
In the sky, the battle of the four Transformation Realm masters was fierce, hard to tell who had the upper hand for the moment.
Yet, the commotion below was also significant, attracting the attention of the four Transformation Realm masters above.
"Chen Tang, pay for my son’s life!"
Zhou Haijian roared angrily, striking with his sword.
In an instant, Innate True Qi burst from the sword, like a line between the sea and sky, coursing through the air, almost unavoidable!
Chen Tang dared not confront it head-on and entered the Divine Illumination State, falling directly from horseback to the ground.
"Run!"
In a panic, Chen Tang slapped the Thunder Leopard, grunting lowly.
The situation was already extremely perilous.
If the Thunder Leopard stayed by his side, it would certainly be implicated and die here!
While everyone’s attention was on him, the Thunder Leopard still had a chance to escape.
The Thunder Leopard, being very clever, quickly fled the battlefield. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
But it couldn’t help looking back, seeing Chen Tang in mortal danger, hesitantly lingering.
