Chapter 424: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_1
Yue Zutao first heard of Chen Mobai when he demonstrated his Sword Qi Long Rainbow at the Qi Cultivating Realm, dominating the sect’s grand competition.
His reputation as an unparalleled genius in sword cultivation spread throughout the Divine Wood Sect, reaching the ears of all cultivators.
However, at that time, to those at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was merely seen as a potential fellow cultivator of immense talent.
Little did they know that within just one year of becoming a formal disciple, Chen Mobai would successfully establish his foundation.
So, when E Yun proposed to bring Chen Mobai to pay him a visit, Yue Zutao readily agreed.
The first impression Chen Mobai left on Yue Zutao was a positive one.
He was a genius, but unlike arrogant figures like Hong He and Mu Yuan, he was gentle and elegant in his speech and manners, not at all like the fervently devoted sword cultivators often portrayed in tales.
In retrospect, Yue Zutao realized that he had judged Chen Mobai solely by his appearance.
Chen Mobai’s true personality as a sword cultivator was hidden deep within him, not displayed falsely on the surface like others.
His sword path had reached the stage where he could wield it at will.
The sharpness, straightness, and essence of his sword were engraved deeply in his heart, erupting passionately in the moment his sword left its sheath, charging forward fearlessly amid a sea of opponents.
Chen Mobai was unaware of the admiration that arose in Yue Zutao’s heart when he saw him fly into the air to confront Mu Hanxiong.
Even though he had fought and won against hundreds of foundation establishment cultivators in Little Red Sky, this was the first time he was facing someone in the late stages of foundation establishment.
If he had the choice, Chen Mobai would certainly not want to engage in a life-or-death battle with Mu Hanxiong.
However, the reality was that he had killed Ji Dao Yuan, and the foundation establishment cultivators of Shake Mountain were bent on avenging him.
After Gong Wanshan roared, three foundation establishment cultivators from Rock Country stepped up to help Mu Hanxiong break free from the formation laid out by Lian Chenghai’s quartet. Taking advantage of the chaos, Mu Hanxiong managed to kill one of the cultivators, releasing some of his pent-up rage caused by Ji Dao Yuan’s death.
“I will claim your life to pay respects to Dao Yuan.”
Mu Hanxiong spoke coldly. Now, he had donned full body armor, surrounded by a rust-colored aura, appearing like a deity of iron.
“You could be the first late foundation establishment cultivator I kill, and I will remember you.”
As Chen Mobai uttered these words, he was about to use the Heavenly Wood Talisman to activate the Green Sun Tree Seed that Chu Zuoshu had given him.
Suddenly, a green spirit light flew towards him, shielding his front.
It was Fu Huakun, the Reward Virtue Hall Inspector of the Divine Wood Sect, who was second only to Chu Zuoshu at the late Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Leave him to me, you deal with the other foundation establishment cultivators from Rock Country.”
Fu Huakun had been unable to take action before due to the need to restore the Earth Gold Knife Array. Now that he was in the air, it became clear that the array had been fully repaired.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked up and indeed, the Earth-Metal Armour, which had previously been split into three sections, was now slowly being repaired and augmented by the abundant spiritual energy from the earth veins.
However, if Fu Huakun was now dealing with Mu Hanxiong, then who was controlling the Earth Gold Knife Array?
Now wasn’t the time to worry about that. Since Fu Huakun had sprung into action, arrangements must have been made.
“Be careful, Inspector Fu. This man is not to be underestimated.”
Although Chen Mobai had not engaged Mu Hanxiong in combat, their clash of auras allowed him to glimpse the immense vitality within his opponent’s body through his Void Spirit Eye. Indeed, he was a formidable adversary, not at all inferior to Lu Qiulong.
Fu Huakun nodded in response. With the activation of his Heavenly Wood Talisman, the seed in his palm blossomed into a twelve-meter-tall Qingyang Spirit Tree.
“First, I’ll kill you.”
Seeing Fu Huakun expanding his domain, Mu Hanxiong realised that unless he killed this man, he wouldn’t be able to get to Chen Mobai.
Taking a deep breath, his body was engulfed in a surge of rust-colored energy.
At the same time, three similar lights flew towards him and landed beside him.
“Peak Master, we will hold him off. You go after that Sword Cultivator from Divine Wood Sect. If that man is not eliminated, he will remain a continual threat.”
Mu Hanxiong’s eyes narrowed, but without voicing any objections, he turned around to bypass Fu Huakun and charged towards Chen Mobai.
Fu Huakun, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Reaching into his storage bag, he released a green-black glow which instantly transformed into a wooden puppet.
The wooden puppet, brandishing a two-meter-long wooden spear, maneuvered agilely atop the Qingyang Spirit Tree and lunged straight at Mu Hanxiong.
“First get past us!”
However, one of Shake Mountain’s foundation establishment cultivators intercepted the puppet with his ring-headed broad sword. The slash of his sword was akin to a boulder crashing into calm waters.
The grandeur of his sword radiance was such that both the puppet and its spear were knocked back to Fu Huakun.
However, at this moment, three more green-black glows emerged from Fu Huakun’s storage bag — another three Rank-2 wooden puppets materialized, each wielding a different weapon: a wooden knife, a wooden sword, and a wooden shield. They formed a small square-shaped battlefield around Fu Huakun and the Qingyang Spirit Tree.
“We’re here to help.”
Two more foundation establishment cultivators flew over — one of them was Gong Wanshan, and the other was an elder from a Rock Country foundation establishment family. Along with the three cultivators from Shake Mountain, the five of them launched an attack on Fu Huakun. Even though Fu Huakun had a higher cultivation level, he was forced to focus entirely on deploying his Longevity Sutra to the maximum at this moment.
From his storage bag, eight more Rank-1 wooden puppets emerged. Along with the previously summoned four Rank-2 puppets, they arranged a simplified version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation around the Qingyang Spirit Tree.
