672 Black Jade Stone Statue, The Best in the World (1/2)
”Sister Guyan's trip was to the Black Moon Island?!”
”It seems so… but, isn't the Black Moon Island protected by three sages? I heard that the three sages are rather strong, and share a great sense of camaraderie!”
”But Tian Xing said that sister…”
The disciples glanced at each other, and saw a look of deep ast
onishment from each other's eyes.
It's not that they didn't trust Chi Guyan, rather, it was almost impossible to accomplish what she had allegedly done.
Yet it seemed like that was the truth.
Just one person?
Breaking into Black Moon Island alone, stealing Nine Pinnacle Mountain's ten-thousand-year treasure, the Thousand Years Fire Herb, seriously injuring the three sages and even sinking the entire Black Moon island...
had Chi Guyan sister become that strong?
Even up till this moment, it was hard for them to believe.
Yet, they also started to understand why Tian Xing had brought three hundred Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples here, and what he had meant earlier.
Using the Thousand Years Fire Herb to heal Chi Guyan's injuries was just an excuse.
Even if Tian Xing really did that, after a month, if Heaven Dao Pavilion were to get her, they would definitely pay a heavy price.
”Srrrrr…”
The three hundred odd Nine Pinnacle disciples had already landed.
In fact, a group of twenty men landed right in front of Chi Guyan, blocking her path as she tried to leave. These twenty disciples had fury in their eyes as they had overheard Tian Xing, Chi Guyan and Mu Qingfeng's conversation.
She had gone too far!
She who had stolen the supreme treasure, hurt people, sunk the island, and still had the audacity to get Tian Xing to yield. As a Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciple, how could they let this rest?
”Kill!” They yelled coldly.
More than twenty Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples started attacking Chi Guyan as Tian Xing had already ordered them to strike. Their anger was already stoked.
The other Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples also started taking action.
Like enraged cocks, they beat their arms and headed straight for the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples with no hesitation.
”Kill!” The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples also started to react, forming sword formations by the hundreds, and their swords beamed as they ran straight towards the Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples.
Too far?
There was no such thing as too far.
Chi Guyan was a member of the Heaven Dao Pavilion - that meant that she had her reasons for doing what she did, period.
This was a showdown between the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacle Mountain.
As for Fu Xi Valley Elder Gu Yuan and First Disciple of Yin Yang Hall Wan Lei who had come to bear witness, they gave each other a look and smiled lightly.
Bear witness?
No one would travel such a distance simply to be present as witnesses.
They had come to witness, not just anything simple, but to witness the outcome of this battle. As for whether the outcome of the battle would be a persecution of the Heaven Dao Pavilion by the other four sects based on moral grounds or a huge loss for both the Nine Pinnacle Mountain and the Heaven Dao Pavilion, it didn't matter.
What mattered was…
That they fought!
Cang Yue directed her gaze to Chi Guyan, and at Fang Zhengzhi who was in her arms, and did not speak a word, but simply observed quietly.
The twenty odd Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples were displaying apparent fury now.
Even though they knew that Chi Guyan was heavily injured, they did not hold back, and each move was meant to kill.
Yet, how could the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples let the Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples get their way?
Almost exactly at the moment that more than twenty Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples striked, an equal number of Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples appeared to fight them off, and beams of cold sword light blocked the attacks on Chi Guyan.
It was a mess.
However, not everyone was tangled in the fight.
For instance, there were at least ten people from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain who weren't participating, and those Sage State disciples who previously rushed towards Fang Zhengzhi also weren't moving.
It was also as if they had a sense of camaraderie…
Even Nangong Mu didn't pick up his sword, and was only fixing his gaze on Chi Guyan, with a glint in his eye.
”Tian Xing, this is the Heaven Dao Pavilion, you can't win!” Mu Qingfeng had stopped using honorifics for Tian Xing, and instead addressed him directly by name.
”Hand Chi Guyan over, or else I'd continue fighting even if it means huge losses on both sides!” Tian Xing had a look of unusual coldness, and edged closer and closer to Chi Guyuan.
”You should know that that's impossible!” Mu Qingfeng's footsteps slowed with Tian Xing's, but his body was between Tian Xing and Chi Guyan.
”If that's so, then we have nothing to talk about!”
”Then let's not talk!”
”Sure, Old Man Mu, you forced me to do this!” as Tian Xing spoke, an enormous black shadow appeared on his hand.
It was a statue.
A statue made entirely of huge black stones.
It was wearing heavy armor that was flapping in the wind, but weirdly, the statue looked exactly like Tian Xing.
”Tian Xing, you…” Mu Qingfeng's face changed as he saw the statue, and he subconsciously let go of Tian Xing's palm and ran as fast as he could towards Chi Guyan.
However, it was too late.
The moment the statue appeared, Tian Xing's body disappeared and the statue came to life, charging towards Mu Qingfeng who was rushing to Chi Guyan.
”Since you don't want to hand her over, I'd get her myself!” Chi Guyan heard a sound behind her and a shadow slowly creeped up on her.
It was Tian Xing.
His black robe fluttered lightly.
In the moment that Tian Xing appeared, his one palm was already on Chi Guyan's shoulder. His speed was so fast that one could barely make out his actions.
Spots of light started appearing on Tian Xing's head. They were from the nine gold ornaments in his hair, each shining brightly.
”Tian Xing, don't you dare!” Mu Qingfeng's tone was urgent.
However, he did not move forward, because the black statue had blocked his path, and fist was in his face.
