Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 94 Life is Like a Play

"Junior Brother, I know a bit about poisons. This is a ’Black-winged centipede.’ Not only does it have the deadly poison of a centipede, but it also has two pairs of black wings and can fly at low altitudes. These are swarm creatures and extremely troublesome!"

"Follow me, Junior Brother. Since I brought you out on this mission, I must ensure your safety!"

Fairy Linghua’s charming face was full of sincerity, and she spoke with utmost seriousness, as though she truly meant it.

This behavior was entirely different from the usual Fairy Linghua, who was radiant like a peach blossom and enchanting in her demeanor.

Li Yunjing watched, marveling in his heart.

"Damn, she really is a good actress! If she keeps this up, I’ll believe her!"

Li Yunjing thought for a moment but had yet to speak when his "Myriad Li Communication Talisman" moved.

Li Yunjing quickly examined it with divine sense and saw a line of text: "Rest assured, your battlefield is entirely within my sight. That Xu Xun, who usually acts so arrogant, is certainly having a tough time now, isn’t he?"

"Hoo..."

Upon reading this line, Li Yunjing was completely relieved.

These words proved that Fu Chao was hiding in an obscure location, observing their every move.

This kid didn’t leave me hanging!

But when would Steward Li contact me?

Without his guidance, Li Yunjing was still a bit nervous, fearing that he might miss a communication from Steward Li.

"Well? What have you decided?"

Fairy Linghua, unaware that Li Yunjing had already contacted reinforcements in such a short time, continued to urge anxiously.

It seems that these "Black-winged centipedes" were the handiwork of the "Laws Association"?

Are they using this to disrupt the situation and pull me away from my fellow disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect?

Li Yunjing pondered and then surveyed the surroundings, transmitting: "Senior Sister, we can’t leave for now. Everyone else is here fighting the enemy. If we retreat first, wouldn’t that be considered deserting? We would be punished severely by sect rules! Let’s wait a bit and see!"

"Very well then! Junior Brother, stay close to me. I will protect you."

After some thought, Fairy Linghua found nothing wrong with Li Yunjing’s words and stopped urging.

Otherwise, it would have the opposite effect, arousing Li Yunjing’s suspicion, which would not be good.

Inwardly, Fairy Linghua prayed: "Whoever is battling Xu Xun in the void, please hold him off!"

Xu Xun, an unexpected participant in the eradication of the tribulation cultivators, was not within the "Laws Association’s" calculations.

Such a person was too terrifying and was not someone the "Laws Association" dared to scheme against.

"Si Hezhong! Is that you? Are you crazy? Are you acting on your own or representing the Primordial Yang Dao Sect?"

At this moment, Xu Xun’s startled voice suddenly rang out from the void.

In this battle, it was the first time he showed a surprised expression.

Li Yunjing was equally shocked. To be considered so important by Xu Xun, the newcomer was obviously no ordinary person and must have significant backing!

"The Primordial Yang Dao Sect? They seem to be a force outside the Great Ming Dynasty! There’s no record of the Primordial Yang Dao Sect on the Shenxiao Jade Scroll!"

Li Yunjing’s expression turned grave, and the other disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and Inner Sect also wore serious expressions. He could clearly feel the atmosphere becoming oppressive.

These disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Inner Sect must have heard of the Primordial Yang Dao Sect and knew its background.

Could it really be a sect of the same caliber?

"Hahaha! Xu Xun, last time in the Silver Moon Dynasty, our two sects clashed, and your Shenxiao Dao Sect showed no mercy!"

Si Hezhong, tall and clad in blue, with a face as fair as jade, looked very young.

On his face was an expression of arrogance and presumptuousness.

Evidently, he had come specifically to retaliate against the Shenxiao Dao Sect and Xu Xun for that incident.

"Si Hezhong, you should know that the previous conflict was out of necessity. Heaven’s treasures belong to those capable of obtaining them!"

"This time, you recruited tribulation cultivators to ambush and kill our Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples. This is a blatant act of animosity against our sect! Do the elders of the Primordial Yang Dao Sect know about this?"

Xu Xun’s expression was cold, silently performing a spell while floating in the void, facing Si Hezhong from a distance.

"Hehe! It seems your troubles are numerous? I’m not the only one here to deal with you?"

Si Hezhong was about to rebut Xu Xun’s words when he suddenly scanned the ground with divine sense and smiled faintly, no longer in a rush.

"Hmm? You didn’t release these ’Black-winged centipedes’?"

Xu Xun also noticed the situation below and couldn’t help but ask.

"Hahaha! What do you take the Primordial Yang Dao Sect for? Our disciples rely on unrivaled Daoist techniques to wander the world. Do you think we’d use such disgusting poisonous insects?"

Si Hezhong laughed disdainfully. How could someone like him ever resort to using such poisons?

Xu Xun scanned the entire scene and saw that the situation was still intense. The group of tribulation cultivators seemed to number in the hundreds, not something that could be dealt with in a short time.

Combined with the sudden appearance of countless "Black-winged centipedes," the trouble increased significantly.

Xu Xun looked at Si Hezhong and sighed, "Since you are here for me, I will give you a fair chance to challenge me! However, I must make it clear, this is not aimed at the Primordial Yang Dao Sect!"

The Primordial Yang Dao Sect was a powerful sect on par with the Shenxiao Dao Sect, and also one of the rulers of the Southern Heaven Continent.

Xu Xun didn’t wish for a complete fallout between the two sects because of himself.

The ordinary disciples were indifferent to worldly affairs, but Xu Xun was different. As one of the future leaders of the Law Enforcement Hall and an unparalleled genius, he had been a key target for the sect’s nurturing.

He was well aware of the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s developments in the Southern Heaven Continent, and the external situation was not particularly optimistic.

A branch of the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s Guardian Army had been constantly engaged in wars on foreign battlefields, clashing with other forces, leading to a fierce battle every three to five years.

Generally, the Primordial Yang Dao Sect was a strategic ally of the Shenxiao Dao Sect in external conquests, with mutual interests.

Xu Xun naturally didn’t want their relations to be soured because of the conflict between them.

Si Hezhong wasn’t an ordinary disciple of the Primordial Yang Dao Sect. Otherwise, Xu Xun would have killed him without hesitation. The two sects, for the sake of cooperation, would have pretended nothing happened.

Unfortunately, Si Hezhong was a true inheritor of the Primordial Yang Dao Sect and was here for revenge, making it difficult for Xu Xun.

Was he afraid of the Primordial Yang Dao Sect?

Not at all!

It simply wasn’t in the interests of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

There are many compromises and tolerances in life, not just bravado.

Now was the time for Xu Xun to lower his stance and try to resolve the enmity.

"Hehe! Why so many words!"

Si Hezhong glanced at the people below and then at Xu Xun, sneering, "Sect matters are beyond our influence! Today, I came to kill you and make the Shenxiao Dao Sect less arrogant."

"Sigh!"

Xu Xun sighed, seemingly unwilling to discuss the topic further, and changed the subject: "Since that’s the case, then let’s fight. If I win, you are not to harm any Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples henceforth!"

"Hehe! Quite confident, aren’t you? I don’t care how those below fight! I can only control myself. If I lose, I will return to the mountain to cultivate in seclusion, waiting for the next chance to come for revenge!"

Si Hezhong sneered repeatedly, appearing very disdainful of Xu Xun’s grand sect rhetoric.

"Since that’s the case! There’s nothing more to say. Let me show you the might of the Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

Xu Xun slightly shook his head, his gaze firming up as a flash of evil qi appeared in his eyes. His figure moved, wielding a long saber, slashing at Si Hezhong!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

In an instant, the long saber emitted a loud hum, like a bolt of lightning, carrying Xu Xun’s figure as it fiercely struck at Si Hezhong!

"Well done! This is more like it!"

Si Hezhong laughed loudly, his azure long sword gleaming as he met the attack.

The two streaks of radiance clashed repeatedly in the dim void, creating waves of energy and explosive sounds of "boom boom boom."

At that moment, both of them wielded spiritual artifacts, moving with such speed that it reached the standard of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

In Li Yunjing’s eyes, they were like fighter jets in close combat, sometimes closing in, sometimes retreating rapidly, their speed dizzying.

"This is the pinnacle of power!"

While observing his surroundings, he occasionally glanced at the void.

After a few times, even Fairy Linghua couldn’t help but want to make a move on Li Yunjing!

"This kid is truly ignorant! How dare he get distracted watching experts duel amidst a battle?"

But Fairy Linghua thought that not far away were fellow disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect. If she attacked Li Yunjing and was seen, she would be doomed.

Therefore, she suppressed the idea of taking action herself.

"Not good! Junior Brother, the ’Black-winged centipedes’ are coming!"

Suddenly, Fairy Linghua cried out in alarm as they saw numerous centipedes surround them.

Each of these centipedes was gigantic, at least a foot in size, and Li Yunjing even spotted some larger than a person.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The "Black-winged centipedes" were ferocious, spraying dark green venom indiscriminately at both Shenxiao Dao Sect and tribulation cultivators.

The venom landed on the ground, rocks, and trees, emitting toxic smoke with a "sizzle," quickly corroding and dissolving whatever it touched.

Mortal objects and some cultivators caught off guard by the venom found their magical artifacts sizzling, emitting white smoke.

If the venom hit the skin, it caused screams of agony, and the victim’s body turned blue before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Once a person fell to the ground, the swarming centipedes quickly devoured them, leaving behind only clean bones.

The gruesome scene startled Li Yunjing.

Many outer disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect had never witnessed such a scene before.

They were trembling in fear, shivering uncontrollably.

At this point, casualties began to appear among the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s ranks.

"Phew! Phew! Phew!"

Li Yunjing continuously swung his sword, slaying the Black-winged centipedes. The green liquid seeping from their bodies disgusted him greatly.

In no time, the battle expanded.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples were forced to retreat in all directions by the centipedes, resulting in a scattered, chaotic fight.

As for the tribulation cultivators, they fared worse than the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Most had already died, and the rest were wailing, trying to break free from the Black-winged centipedes’ encirclement.

At this moment, only Fairy Linghua remained closely by Li Yunjing’s side.

While fighting the centipedes, Li Yunjing used his divine sense to keep his Myriad Li Communication Talisman active, maintaining communication with Fu Chao and enabling the talisman’s location function.

Fu Chao could fully track his position.

"Li Yunjing, charge towards the tribulation cultivators’ cave!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in Li Yunjing’s mind.

It was none other than Steward Li, the man who had once saved his life!

"Great! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Li Yunjing was delighted, but he maintained a calm exterior, urgently pulling Fairy Linghua and saying, "Senior Sister, let’s break through from here!"
