Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

During the cloud desolate era, martial path techniques and spirit master spells had their power and potential split into 13 levels. Foundation building, Beginner, Profound Grasping, Excellent, Exquisite, pinnacle, legendary, earth crushing, heaven shocking, Saint spirit, Godlike, and world-destroying, supreme!

The original six gods defensive knife technique was the 7th grade-legendary!

Legend has it that during that era, the spiritual energy in heaven and earth were vast and there were many spiritual treasures. Not only were there many experts in the cloud world, but there were also many celestial realms, even saint realm experts who entered the cloud world, bringing with them many secret techniques.

However, when the cloud desolate era ended, a large portion of the techniques was lost. They were either lost in the following successive wars or experts brought them into other worlds. All that remained were skills of the first 6 grades.

Even the indefinite spiritual emperor art that Zong Weiran created which name was spread far and wide or the mysterious moon wood brilliance technique learned by Xuanyuan Yiren, they were all just barely in the 6th grade. As for the secret technique of the Blazing Flame Mountain flame bear race, it was just a beginner technique.

Whereas his six gods defensive knife technique was legendary grade right away. The one he got was also a version which was modified by a Saint realm expert.

When one cultivated it to its peak it would be a grade higher than the original, grade 8-earth crushing!

The different levels of martial techniques during the cloud desolate era had no meaning now. Even in the future, they didn’t regroup and reclassify martial and spiritual cultivation methods.

However, one could see how strong the flying knife technique was!

Seeing that handsome middle-aged spirit master shout out the name of his flying knife technique before turning around and running, Zong Shou’s brows furrowed. An instant later, he didn’t care.

Just like what that guy said, he used the six gods defensive knife, and each knife claimed a life and it never missed!

As long as you were within ten thousand feet, no matter how you ran, even if your speed was as fast as those ancient beasts, it was also useless.

He felt the true qi in his body dry up due to him firing 2 successive knives. He was slowly recovering. His sleeve waved once more and another cloud flame flying knife shot out, directly striking a thousand feet out.

When it passed the city wall, due to the invisible barrier of the spiritual formation, the knife flashed and with a high-speed spiral, and it forcefully passed. Its speed didn’t reduce at all as it chased right at the middle-aged man.

That Xue surnamed middle-aged man could feel the sharp knife which was chasing him, immediately giving a sharp scream. 10 spiritual talismans shooting out as once. He chanted incantations, forming an intense storm behind him. One could roughly see numerous wind knives cutting around. Some soldiers around couldn’t dodge in time and were cut up into meat paste.

Originally, under the blow of this huge wind, even the true legendary six gods defensive knife, no matter how Zong Shou’s knife controlling technique was how good, it would deviate. Even if it wasn’t smashed to pieces by the wind blade, it wouldn’t be able to harm him.

But when he looked back once more, he only felt his heart stop beating. He saw the 2-inch long knife surging through the wind. Although it was shaking, it coincidentally avoided the most intense wind currents. Although it’s trajectory changed a little, but for some reason, it gave him a feeling that it was several times more dangerous than before.

The Xue surnamed middle-aged man scoffed, suppressing the fear that was rising in his heart. When his body passed the backside of the city wall, it immediately sunk. As he had expected, the flying knife changed direction. The knife tip-tilted downwards and chased him rapidly. Like clouds like mist, he was still unable to see where the true knife was at. Using the downwards sinking momentum, its speed increased.

The Xue surnamed middle-aged man didn’t panic, calmly rising. Causing the cloud flame flying knife to change direction once more and chase to within 30 feet. In just a few breaths it could pierce his throat. However the Xue surnamed middle-aged man was still not shocked, instead, he smiled. Even the six gods defensive knife technique couldn’t be as sentient and flexible as spirit master sword cultivators at the xiantian realm. As long as he dodged this time he would be safe.

Six gods defensive knife, it had never missed. However, it didn’t mean it couldn’t be broken.

With such a thought flashing in his head, his body which was still activating the spiritual artifact, once again moved. The flying knife had already changed directions twice and definitely, wouldn’t be able to catch him.

However, in the next moment, his eyes opened extremely wide. The wariness in his heart didn’t decrease but instead rose to the maximum at that moment.

That’s not right!

He immediately turned back, his heart instantly turning ice cold. Only to see that as the cloud flame flying knife was about to brush past his body, instantly a ball of firelight and ice mist surged out, fire and water spiral. Following which the flying knife used this recoil power to change direction once more, slashing down and directly heading for the throat.

“The 3rd change of direction! How is that possible?”

The Xue surnamed middle-aged man gave out a tragic roar. He couldn’t keep as calm as he was before. Numerous body-protecting spells rose up, numerous spiral energy and soul power was injected in his feat. He only wished to be a little quicker, to make his body move once more.

He wasn’t at the day wandering realm, so this body was really important to him.

He pretty much went all out to dodge but in the end, he still didn’t manage to. That cloud flame flying knife hit his right shoulder. The fire and water spiraling world shocking true energy instantly charged into his body.

There was an instant explosion and a sky full of blood spurred out. When the flying knife pierced out of his body and flew outwards, his right shoulder hand a bowl-like huge hole. The Xue surnamed middle-aged man only felt intense pain, numerous holes appeared in his body due to that spiral energy. His vital energy was weakening and failing, his soul also seemed to be shriveling up and withering.

On the city walls, although You Wusheng didn’t look back, he could sense the situation behind him, all of which enter his senses. He was crestfallen, his face turning ashen white, a huge sense of fear and worry entered his eyes.

How could there be such a terrifying and sharp flying knife technique in this world? If he was the one facing that knife, could he manage to escape from it?

In his heart, he wanted to immediately retreat and run. However, he couldn’t move. Zong Yuan, whose body was covered in numerous lightning and charging at him, had already broken then invisible barrier and stepped onto the city walls. Not only did his mind lock into him, but his hawk-like eyes were also staring over coldly. The cold glow of the spear tip caused one’s heart to sink. It caused his face to twitch slightly. There wasn’t any arrogance from before and all that was left was regret.

He was originally a Gantian Mountian capital level general, a subordinate of Monster king. If he knew this would happen, why would he lose his life just for a little bit of kindness from Zong Shiyuan?

He didn’t think that the Gantian Mountian prince had reached the xiantian realm. His spiritual cultivation was even better and entered the night wandering realm.

That flying knife technique was even so strong that each knife claimed a life. Even Mr. Xue who was an 8 talisman Return to sun spirit master was heavily injured.

The people in front of him, be it Zong Gang or Zong Shou, or the newly promoted unparalleled general seed purple lightning spear, they were all scarily strong. If they all combined their strength, it made one feel despair.

In the next instance, Zong Yuan had already stepped forward and arrived. You Wusheng was shocked, instantly tossing aside all other thoughts in his head. The spiritual bow in his hand lightning sounded out 3 times. 3 wolf tooth arrows shot out like a shooting star just like before.

With just 120 feet between them, even peak Xuanwu ancestors who had merged with 9 spiritual veins would be forced back by his arrows.

Only to see Zong yuan’s spear shaking and dancing, flicking upwards and moving the first arrow away. His spear tip flicked down and struck on the 2nd wolf tooth arrow. Maniac lightning dancing around and smashed the arrow.

When Zong Yuan’s second spear stroke shook, it was when the 3rd arrow was just shot out from the bowstring. One grip and one jolt, the iron arrow, and shell spear gave out a series of screeching noises. The last wolf tooth arrow was shaken away.

However, there was blood seeping from Zong Yuan’s mouth. But he still stably waves the steel spear and stabbed right into the sword image that You Wusheng was hurriedly waving out.

“Traitor of my Gantian Mountain, die!”

The lightning snack instantly flashed, with just once spear it split this You Wusheng’s head like a watermelon. His remaining corpse was also smashed into pieces by the vast electricity.

He swept around at the archers and soldiers who retreated like a wave. Especially You Wusheng’s troops, their faces were ashen white.

A large portion of them still couldn’t believe how these 3 Xuanwu ancestors were all murdered in just tens of breaths.

That unstoppable intense aura. It felt like if a god blocked him, he would kill the god. It caused everyone in the city wall to cower in fear.

“Is that our Gantian Mountain prince? I thought he couldn’t cultivate. How is he so strong?”

“That purple lightning spear Zong Yuan is so strong! A day ago I heard that he led 3 thousand cavalry in Ruohai Straits to trample over the 400 thousand alliance army of Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain, killing 4 Xuanwu ancestors. I didn’t believe it at first, now it seems like it’s true.

“The prince is a night wandering spirit master and also have this unparalleled general as his subordinate. Isn’t the Monster king position his? Zong Shi and the others are just dreaming…to dare to challenge the prince.”

At this moment on the city wall, although no one made a sound, they were filled with many thoughts, their eyes showed no fighting spirit.

Zong Yuan was too lazy to bother about them, looking right at the middle-aged spirit master which was driving away on a spiritual artifact. The purple lightning spear in his hand was tightly grasped. As long as his energy recovered, he could kill that guy.

In the next instance, he suddenly heard a loud explosion below him. It was Zong Gang who split the city gate with one knife. He jumped up into the city, the horse slaying machete in his hand was thrown out and headed right at the horizon.
