Chapter 108 Zi Shu

"Slash!"

As soon as Sun Xuan finished speaking, a flash of murderous intent immediately crossed Zi Shu's eyes.

Immediately following that, he let out a furious roar, and a precious sword emanating a sharp intent instantly tore through the sky, slashing horizontally toward Sun Xuan.

Seeing this, a trace of mockery flashed across Sun Xuan's eyes, and he did not dodge the horizontally slashing precious sword at all.

He only saw Sun Xuan raise his hand, extend two fingers, and gently pinch at the incoming precious sword.

It was just like pinching a fly.

Seeing this, a cold light burst from Zi Shu's eyes, and he let out a soft huff, saying,

"Seeking death!"

Originally, Zi Shu had his tracks exposed by Sun Xuan, and now he was in a rush to resolve Sun Xuan so he could hurry and finish the mission assigned by Chenlong.

Although Sun Xuan was merely a Nascent Transformation Initial Stage Cultivator in his eyes, the moment Zi Shu made a move, he still used his strongest killing move.

The purpose was to quickly finish off Sun Xuan, then immediately complete the mission assigned by Chenlong to avoid prolonged complications.

At this moment, under his killing move, this Nascent Transformation Initial Stage Cultivator actually didn't dodge at all, and even reached out to grab this precious sword bestowed upon him by his Master.

In Zi Shu's view, this kind of behavior was completely courting death.

Thinking of this, Zi Shu urged his magic power, and the precious sword instantly emitted an even sharper radiance, slashing toward Sun Xuan at an even faster speed.

"Clang clang!"

Right at this moment, the sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out.

Within Zi Shu's incredulous gaze, this divine precious sword bestowed upon him by his Master—

was actually firmly pinched in mid-air by Sun Xuan's two fingers.

This precious sword struggled violently between Sun Xuan's two fingers, but it was like a venomous snake whose vital spot was pinched, completely unable to break free even a little bit.

"This is impossible!"

A mere Nascent Transformation Initial Stage, how could he easily suppress his strongest means.

"Sword Spirit Soul Devour!"

A trace of shock and madness flashed across Zi Shu's eyes. His hands immediately formed an incantation Seal, and he let out a furious roar toward the precious sword suppressed by Sun Xuan.

He saw that the precious sword, which was constantly trembling between Sun Xuan's two fingers, suddenly flashed with a purple spiritual light.

Immediately following that, a giant mouse sword spirit, dark purple all over and filled with evil and gloomy Qi, suddenly rushed out from the precious sword.

The evil Qi in this mouse sword spirit's eyes was stern and awe-inspiring. The instant its form appeared, without saying another word, it took a bite and swallowed toward Sun Xuan.

"Beast!"

Seeing this, Sun Xuan let out a cold huff, and a wispy gray flame suddenly emerged before him.

This wispy gray flame exuded a bone-chilling and desolate intent, and then with a gentle flash, it transformed into a slender chain that fiercely wrapped around the mouse sword spirit.

The purple mouse sword spirit, which was originally full of evil intent, instantly let out a miserable and shrill scream.

Then the entire sword spirit was almost directly ignited by this wispy gray flame.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan frowned slightly. With a slight movement of his mind, this wispy gray flame instantly loosened up a bit.

Sun Xuan still had other uses for Zi Shu's precious sword, and he didn't want it to be directly destroyed and ruined just like that by accident.

Under Sun Xuan's slight application of methods, Zi Shu's sword spirit almost collapsed.

At this moment, it no longer had its previous arrogant aura; directly with full eyes of fear and tail between its legs, it fled back into the precious sword.

Sun Xuan opened his mouth and gently inhaled, and that wispy Zhuyan Demonic Fire was instantly sucked into Sun Xuan's mouth.

Immediately afterward, Sun Xuan's two fingers pinching Zi Shu's precious sword quickly and gently wiped across the sword body.

The Divine Sense brand left by Zi Shu on the precious sword was instantly erased by Sun Xuan.

His Lifebound Treasure being seized, Zi Shu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a face full of terror and panic.

Then without saying another word, he turned around and ran.

What the fuck kind of Nascent Transformation Initial Stage is this?

Zi Shu cursed angrily in his heart while running.

In Zi Shu's feeling, this suddenly appearing Cultivator before him—

even if Chenlong, the strongest among the Twelve Sword Zodiacs, came, he would definitely not be an opponent.

Watching Zi Shu turn and run, Sun Xuan said with a slight smile curling the corners of his mouth:

"Running?

Can you run away!"

As he spoke, Sun Xuan pinched Zi Shu's precious sword and hurled it fiercely toward the direction where Zi Shu was fleeing.

"Hum!"

Under the blessing of Sun Xuan's immense strength, Zi Shu's precious sword erupted with immense might.

It directly crossed with an extreme speed that almost tore through space, instantly catching up to the fleeing Zi Shu.

Then it fiercely shattered the Protective Aura on Zi Shu's body, and with a soft plop sound, the precious sword pierced straight through Zi Shu's chest.

Afterwards, Sun Xuan's figure slowly dissipated from the spot, and the moment he reappeared, he had already arrived beside Zi Shu, whose chest was pierced through by the precious sword.

Sun Xuan extended a hand and gently pressed it upon the top of Zi Shu's head.

Stream after stream of Restrictions and Seals instantly sealed up Zi Shu's Primordial Spirit and Physical Body completely.

"What do you want!

I advise you it's best to let me go. I am one of the Twelve Sword Zodiacs of the Daluo Sword Sect.

Otherwise, once Patriarch Lingtian makes a move,

you will undoubtedly die!"

Hearing Zi Shu's stern-outside-but-gentle-inside words, Sun Xuan couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"Zi Shu oh Zi Shu, are you still unweaned!

You call for your parents when you can't beat someone. At your age, you've probably cultivated right into a dog's body.

A fool like you is just wasting rice keeping you alive.

Now answer this Daoist a few questions, and you can be on your way in peace!"

Hearing this, the look of terror in Zi Shu's eyes grew even more intense, and he just wanted to say something.

Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a trace of eerie and evil light flashing within Sun Xuan's eyes.

Under the illumination of this evil light, Zi Shu's eyes slowly became sluggish and hollow.

After a moment's work, Zi Shu actually stood in front of Sun Xuan like an old servant, lowered his head, and spoke:

"Greetings, Master!"

Sun Xuan glanced sideways at Zi Shu at this moment, couldn't help but secretly think in his heart:

"This Low Grade immortal spell, Xuanzhao Evil Light, is truly extraordinary.

Even though this Zi Shu's cultivation base has reached the Nascent Transformation Late Stage Great Perfection Realm, which is higher than his own by a small Realm,

it can still be completely controlled by the Xuanzhao Evil Light."

Sun Xuan waved his hand, putting Zi Shu's precious sword into the Storage Pouch, and only then did he speak to Zi Shu:

"What is the purpose of the Daluo Sword Sect coming to this Barren Planet?"

As Sun Xuan's words fell, Zi Shu immediately spoke without hesitation:

"By the order of Patriarch Lingtian, on this Barren Planet, to completely annihilate all expeditionary Cultivators of the Destiny Star, and shave off some of Tianyunzi's face."

Hearing this, Sun Xuan's expression couldn't help but turn somewhat gloomy.

He secretly thought that this Marquis Lingtian was truly looking for trouble for no reason, a complete idiot.

That little bit of cultivation of his was worlds apart from Tianyunzi.

To actually still court death and jump around in front of Tianyunzi was simply seeking out unnecessary thrills.

However, Sun Xuan didn't worry too much; the strength of the Destiny Star's expeditionary Cultivators was not weak.

In a head-on collision, he didn't believe that the personnel hastily organized by the Daluo Sword Sect could really wipe out all the Destiny Star Cultivators.

But even so, Sun Xuan still needed to understand what the specific strength of the people coming from the Daluo Sword Sect was like.

"Who is the leader of the Cultivators coming here from the Daluo Sword Sect, and what is their cultivation base!"

Hearing Sun Xuan's inquiry, Zi Shu continued to answer:

"The leader is the head of the Twelve Sword Zodiacs, Chenlong.

His cultivation base has already reached the Questing Initial Stage!"

Hearing this, Sun Xuan couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as the cultivation base did not exceed the Questing Realm, Sun Xuan really wouldn't be afraid if he encountered them.

He was only afraid that Marquis Lingtian had sent Almighty beings of the Yin-Void and Yang-Solid Realm, or even the Nirvanic Probe Realm.

If that were the case, then these expeditionary Cultivators of their Destiny Star would really be dead for sure.

However, this possibility was not high to begin with; a mere Barren Planet was not worthy of a Second Step Almighty making a move.

"Since that is the case, what on earth is your purpose for sneaking into the Qianyuan Sect camp!"

After setting his mind at ease, Sun Xuan gently asked again.

"Chenlong discovered a strange creature from the Sea of Fire of the Barren Planet. Once this creature is attacked,

it will emit a bizarre fluctuation, summoning a large number of companions to besiege the enemy.

Even if it is killed, this bizarre fluctuation will still be emitted, guiding the way for its companions.

Chenlong refined the substance capable of emitting bizarre fluctuations from within these strange creatures' bodies, making it into a kind of red rune.

After slaying a large number of strange creatures, Chenlong produced a lot of these red runes.

Then these runes were arranged to be scattered around the camps of all Destiny Star expeditionary Cultivators,

so as to lure those strange creatures over and inflict damage upon the Destiny Star expeditionary Cultivators.

And I am the person arranged by Chenlong to come to the Qianyuan Sect camp to deploy the red runes."

Hearing this, Sun Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't expect that on this Barren Planet, there were actually such miraculous creatures.

In this way, under Chenlong's arrangement, he could really catch the Destiny Star expeditionary Cultivators off guard.

"Where is the item, bring it out for me to take a look!"

A trace of pensive expression flashed across Sun Xuan's eyes, and then he softly said to Zi Shu.

Without saying a word, Zi Shu immediately took out a small Restriction ball from his Storage Pouch.

Inside the Restriction small ball, nearly a thousand red runes were constantly twisting and flashing,

giving people a very strange feeling.

Sun Xuan took the Restriction small ball, and after inspecting it for a moment's work, he found that what Zi Shu said was not false.

These red runes were indeed constantly emitting a kind of hidden, bizarre fluctuation.

It was just that this fluctuation was blocked by the Restriction small ball and could not spread out for the time being.

Once this Restriction small ball was crushed, the bizarre fluctuation emitted by the red runes inside would immediately spread outward into the distance.

"This Chenlong is truly sinister enough.

This temper doesn't look like a disciple taught by that brainless idiot Marquis Lingtian at all.

On the contrary, it has a point or two of similarity with Tianyunzi."

Sun Xuan softly muttered a few words to himself, then flipped his hand and put this Restriction small ball into the Storage Pouch.

Immediately afterward, Sun Xuan waved his hand, and all the Restrictions on Zi Shu's body completely dissipated.

And his hollow gaze also slowly recovered its luster at this moment.

It's just that Zi Shu seemed to have woken up from Sun Xuan's control, but in reality, he was still tightly controlled by the Xuanzhao Evil Light.

It was just that this control would not affect his normal divine faculties.

After Zi Shu's divine faculties recovered, he still wore a look of utter respect toward Sun Xuan.

And Sun Xuan spoke:

"Go back, return among the Twelve Sword Zodiacs.

Conceal yourself among them, and report the movements of the Twelve Sword Zodiacs to this Daoist at any time.

As for today's failure to frame the Qianyuan Sect, just think of a reason yourself to muddle through it."

After Sun Xuan's voice fell, Zi Shu immediately answered with a respectful expression:

"Abiding strictly by Master's command!"

The words falling, Zi Shu casually treated the sword wound on his chest.

Then without saying another word, he turned around and sped away toward the distance.

"This matter is becoming more and more interesting!"

After Zi Shu left, Sun Xuan pondered to himself for a moment, and said with a chuckle.

Then Sun Xuan's figure moved, speeding toward the distant Qianyuan Sect camp.

Inside a small hall within the Qianyuan Sect camp, Sun Xuan and Sect Master Lü Daoxuan sat facing each other.

"Elder Sun, after you left, fierce spell-fighting fluctuations came from the distance.

I thought you had encountered some danger, and have already sent people to rendezvous with you.

I didn't expect you to return a step earlier."

The battle between Sun Xuan and Zi Shu was no more than a single move before Zi Shu was controlled by Sun Xuan.

Therefore, it didn't take much time.

Although the subsequent inquiry took a moment's work,

under Sun Xuan's intentional concealment, the reinforcements sent by Sect Master Lü Daoxuan did not discover Sun Xuan.

Hearing this, Sun Xuan smiled and said:

"It has made the Sect Master worried.

However, this Daoist really harvested a heaven-sent piece of information on this trip!"

Hearing this, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan asked softly with a look of doubt in his eyes:

"Oh!

I wonder what information Elder Sun has discovered, please elaborate in detail."

Hearing this, Sun Xuan's expression immediately turned slightly solemn as he spoke:

"The Cultivators heading to this Barren Planet this time are not just our Destiny Star alone.

The Twelve Sword Zodiacs of the Daluo Sword Sect are similarly leading a large number of subordinate Cultivators, descending onto this Barren Planet a step ahead of us."

Hearing this, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan's expression changed drastically, his figure unable to control itself from standing up as he cried out in shock:

"What?

People from the Daluo Sword Sect have also come!

The Daluo Sword Sect and those under my Tianyun Sect have always been at odds. What are they here for?"

Hearing this, a slight smile appeared at the corners of Sun Xuan's mouth as he spoke:

"Naturally, they are here to look for trouble with us.

The person who fought with me just now is precisely one of the Twelve Sword Zodiacs of the Daluo Sword Sect, Zi Shu.

This person was injured by my attack and fled.

It's just that I don't know what on earth the purpose of this Zi Shu coming to our Qianyuan Sect camp was."

Naturally, Sun Xuan would not spill all the information he knew.

This involved the secrets of the immortal spells he cultivated, so Sun Xuan naturally wouldn't casually talk about such matters.

Anyway, the crisis of the Qianyuan Sect had already been resolved by Sun Xuan; it wouldn't mean much for Sect Master Lü Daoxuan to know so much.

"No, I must report this information to Jiuyou Palace.

Otherwise, once the Daluo Sword Sect makes a move against us, we will be far too passive!"

After Sect Master Lü Daoxuan's expression changed a few times, he immediately spoke to himself.

Then his figure moved, and he was about to rush toward the direction where the Jiuyou Palace camp was located.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan speechlessly grabbed Sect Master Lü Daoxuan and pulled him back.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, what are you panicking about.

Even if the sky falls, Jiuyou Palace will be hit first.

Reporting this information out at this moment doesn't do us any good either.

But if this information is not reported temporarily, it is advantageous to us.

Fellow Daoist Lü must not forget, the relationship between us and the other Destiny Star Cultivators is a competitive one.

This Barren Planet only has one, after all!"
