Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Help Me, Name Any Condition

Soon, everyone saw the barrier disintegrate. There was no massive explosion, no powerful attack—it was just broken, as simple as that.

No one expected this to happen.

Yue Xi was also completely dumbfounded, but she immediately crossed the broken barrier, appeared beside Jingyue, and swung her sword directly at the approaching Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.

With a BOOM, the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was forced back.

However, it was completely unharmed. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The barrier’s destruction astonished many people. Even those from the Holy Land found it hard to believe.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Holy Land, a chilling aura emanated from the man in Silver Armor. "They’re really courting death. It seems I’ll have to make a trip over there. A pity my true body hasn’t awakened, but this should be enough."

Back in Chuanhe Town, Mo Yan asked, "Was that Boss Po Xiao who just acted? It wasn’t very spectacular."

Chen Yi added, "Yeah, it was so understated. Not enough special effects."

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "But it seems like Fellow Daoist Po Xiao’s moves are never flashy. They’re always understated."

Everyone: "..."

’Come to think of it, that really does seem to be the case.’

Chu Qing said, "But you need special effects for it to look powerful and give you that visceral feeling. Otherwise, a Junior Cultivator like me can’t understand it. Just now, if it weren’t for the comparison with that sword, I wouldn’t have even known what part was supposed to be amazing."

’That actually makes a lot of sense.’

At that moment, Yue Xi pulled Jingyue back with her.

"Master, you’ll get yourself killed!" Jingyue cried out.

Then she hugged Yue Xi and said happily, "Master, you’re the best."

"I’ll get you out of here first," Yue Xi said, preparing to leave with Jingyue.

But before they could move, a man in silver armor appeared before Yue Xi. His voice was cold. "As a member of the Holy Land, how could you do something like this?"

Yue Xi held her sword, facing the man. "You have a problem with it?"

The man glanced at the Sword Dao manifestation in Jingyue’s hand. "If it were a complete Dao, you might have lasted a couple of rounds against me. But this is just a shattered projection."

As he spoke, the man reached out and pointed a finger at the sword.

The Silver-Armored man’s gesture seemed ordinary, but it sent a chill of terror through Yue Xi, forcing her to retreat instinctively.

’Resisting head-on would only get her crushed to pieces.’

Yet no matter how Yue Xi retreated, the finger still tapped the sword.

Under that single touch, the sword began to shatter, layer by layer, before turning to dust and vanishing from the world.

Yue Xi’s pupils contracted. ’I’m no match for this man at all.’

’But handing over the Saintess? That’s impossible.’

Yue Xi shielded Jingyue and quickly placed a simple Seal on her mark, at least to reduce its resonance for now.

The man in Silver Armor watched all this without a word. He then walked directly toward Yue Xi. ’I can’t kill a member of the Holy Land, but I can make her repent beneath it.’

As the Silver-Armored man approached Yue Xi, no one noticed that the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit, having lost its resonance with the Saintess, had once again connected with something else.

The mark on the back of Su Qi’s hand lit up, and the Hairband in her hair flashed.

Then, to everyone’s surprise, the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit shot toward Su Qi like a streak of light.

It looked as if it would touch and merge with Su Qi in the very next moment.

It all happened so fast that no one could react. Yue Xi herself only noticed after the streak of light had already passed.

Her pupils contracted again as she shouted, "Xiaojiu, run! Hurry!"

At this, the man in Silver Armor also stopped, watching to see the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit succeed.

But Su Qi was still bound; she couldn’t flee. And even if she could, she couldn’t outrun the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.

Yue Xi was frantic. Su Qi was the most suitable candidate for Saintess. Once she merged with the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit, it wouldn’t matter whether she was the Saintess or not—tragedy would be inevitable.

However, everyone could only watch helplessly as Su Qi was chosen by the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.

At that instant, Jiang Zuo’s eyes filled with an icy chill. He spoke in a cold voice, "Courting death."

In that moment, the entire Holy Land Array began to surge. A colossal Golden Giant rose from the Mist, and a beam of Golden Light shot out to shield Su Qi.

The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit happened to crash into the Golden Light right at that moment and was sent flying back with a BANG.

Then, the giant raised the saber in its hand and slashed at the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit. However, just as the blade was about to strike, it stopped dead.

Beneath the blade, the man in Silver Armor had blocked the slash with a single hand.

"Are you ignoring me?"

Without a word, Jiang Zuo had the giant swing its saber at the Silver-Armored man again. He didn’t mind getting rid of anyone who stood in his way.

Facing the Golden Giant’s attack, the Silver-Armored man pointed a finger once more, and the Golden Body Giant Saber shattered.

But Jiang Zuo was unfazed. The Golden Giant’s other hand drew a sword and thrust forward.

The Silver-Armored man sneered, "Attacks of this level are useless against me. Let me see who you really are."

After shattering the sword, the Silver-Armored man prepared to charge directly into the Mist.

However, the sword’s fragments unexpectedly shot upright. Then, the shards resonated with each other, trapping the Silver-Armored man between them.

It was a Sealing Array.

At that moment, a long spear shot out from the Mist. As the Silver-Armored man stood suspended in the air, the spear flew up from below, aimed straight for his feet.

The Silver-Armored man roared in fury, "How audacious!"

But in the next instant, the spear slammed directly into him.

BOOM!!!

The man in Silver Armor was sent flying, and his Soft Armor was damaged.

He glared at the Mist. "You will pay the price for your actions."

Then, the Silver Armor transformed into Golden Armor. The might he now exuded was on a completely different level from before.

Jiang Zuo watched the man in Silver Armor—no, Golden Armor now—coldly.

’With my current strength, even relying on the Holy Land’s Array, I’m no match for this person.’

’The portion of the Array I can control is far from enough.’

’I need more authority.’

With that, Jiang Zuo fully merged himself into the Array and sent out his will.

Meanwhile, in the Forbidden Land, the young girl watched the changes in the sky, hoping that the Saintess and Jiu Xi would be safe.

’Too bad I can’t help.’

Just then, the girl clearly sensed the Candidacy Saintess. ’I really want to kill him.’

Then, she received a message from him: *Help me. Name your price.*

At that, the girl smiled. She felt she could finally be of help. She replied: *Help me destroy the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.*

"As you wish."

’He’s the one asking for a favor, but he acts like he’s the one granting a wish. This guy is unbelievably arrogant.’ (A complaint from the girl.)

After Jiang Zuo replied, he felt all the permissions for the Array opening up to him. He had practically become the core of the Array.

He was no longer the same person who could only control the outer Array.

At this moment, the man in Golden Armor threw a punch. ’Let’s see if this person can block this one,’ he thought.

Facing this punch, Jiang Zuo commanded the Golden Giant to slash out with its sword. The blade and the fist collided in an instant.

Immediately after, the fist shattered, and the sword continued on, slashing directly toward the man in Golden Armor.

The Golden-Armored man’s pupils shrank. ’How is this possible?’

But the sword was already upon him. He was forced to retreat and defend.

Yue Xi and the others were also in shock. ’They were evenly matched just a moment ago, and now he’s completely dominating?’

Just then, Yue Xi suddenly felt her phone ringing. ’Why would someone be calling me at a time like this?’
