Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 158 – Here comes my knife

"However, it can't trap me!"

Tian Kongyue let out a long howl, ready to break Zuo Songyan's seal with his mana, but suddenly a hand grabbed his legs and slammed him to the ground!

Bang bang bang!

Stone tablets flew into the air and exploded one after another. Tian Kongyue's heart sank as he slowly stood up and saw Wen Sheng Gong.

After borrowing the Ten Jinxiu Map from Qiu Shuijing, Tian Kongyue had been trying to refine this set of Great Saint Spirit Weapons. He found countless seals in the map and had been trying to decipher them until Wen Sheng Gong came a few days ago, and he finally broke all the seals.

However, he didn't expect there to be so many seals, and he didn't expect Su Yun to easily break his Spirit Prison Sky Cage. The cage was obtained from Zang Longling and was indeed very complex. He had studied it for a long time before he learned how to use it.

The biggest function of the Spirit Prison Sky Cage was to trap spirits. It was set up by the Tian Dao Academy scholars to trap demons and dragon spirits in Zang Longling, but it had a major flaw: it couldn't trap living entities.

Spirits couldn't break free from the cage, but living entities could easily break it by removing the stone tablets. Wu Tong used Jiao Shu'Ao to break the cage and escape from Zang Longling.

Su Yun had seen Jiao Shu'Ao break the cage, so he immediately removed a stone tablet and broke the seemingly powerful formation.

Wen Sheng Gong crushed the other formations with his mana and looked at Tian Kongyue with a gloomy expression. Tian Kongyue stood up, dusted himself off, and said calmly, "Wen Sheng Gong? So what? You are a Wen Sheng, not a Wu Sheng. Even if you are in your Great Saint Spirit Weapons, I am not afraid."

He smiled arrogantly, "I practice the True Dragon technique and have an immortal body. I am much stronger than the so-called saints."

Wen Sheng Gong's face turned angry, but then it disappeared. He said to Su Yun, Chi Xiaoyao, and others, "I will send you out of the Ten Jinxiu Map."

He waved his sleeve, and Su Yun and the others felt dizzy. The next moment, they were out of the map.

Wen Sheng Gong also left the map and gently waved his hand, causing the Ten Jinxiu Map to merge into one.

In the map, Tian Kongyue laughed loudly, "Your map is useless to me!"

Dragon roars came from the map, and true dragons appeared around Tian Kongyue, destroying the Great Saint Spirit Weapons.

Su Yun looked at Wen Sheng Gong beside him. The young Wen Sheng Gong was now in control of the golden body of Wen Chang Di Jun and looked elegant, unlike the statue in the Wen Sheng Temple, which looked a bit old.

This was a young Wen Sheng Gong with some spirit. He reached out his hand to the void and shouted, "Bring me my sword!"

Su Yun was surprised and quickly looked at his hand, but he didn't see any sword flying towards him.

Wen Sheng Gong didn't catch the sword. He sat on the dragon's back and said in a deep voice, "My golden body is not yet complete and was attacked by thieves. It's not as strong as before and won't last long. Let's go see the Marquis first and help him suppress the demonic nature!"His golden body was tall and rode on the back of the giant beast Long Xiang perfectly, unlike Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao who could only stand on its back.

Long Xiang carried them swiftly. Su Yun looked towards the Embroidered Picture and saw Tian Kongyue crazily destroying it, but the Embroidered Picture repaired itself as it was destroyed, making it impossible for her to escape.

Su Yun could endure it, but Chi Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask, "Saint Lord, where is your knife?"

The Saint Lord turned his head and looked at her, smiling gently. "The knife is too far away. Let it fly a little longer."

Chi Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, "The Saint Lord is probably joking..."

Tian Shi Yuan, a forbidden zone with no one around, and the Temple of the Saint.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling from the underground of this saintly temple. The earth split open, and a sword light shot up into the sky, heading straight towards the North Star and the Cowherd constellation.

In the sword light, a spiritual weapon took shape, flying like a blue dragon in front of a crescent moon, cutting through the sky above the forbidden zone of Tian Shi Yuan and heading straight towards Shuofang City.

Long Xiang carried them towards the Li family in Shuofang. From afar, thunder roared above the Li family, constantly striking in the same direction. General Li was in a demonic state, killing the Shuofang Marquis and others!

"Su Scholar..." Ying Ying called out softly.

Su Yun withdrew his gaze, and Ying Ying landed on his shoulder, pointing to the Saint Lord's golden body and whispered, "Look."

Su Yun looked over and saw that the golden body of the Saint Lord was beginning to disintegrate, slowly turning into dust.

Zuo Songyan established the Wen Chang Academy to provide a place for poor children to study, but also to create a golden body for the Saint Lord, so that the spirit of this saintly sage could live on and become a respected deity in the world.

This golden body had been refined for decades, but the Saint Lord had been trapped by Tian Kongyue for these past few days, and she had already destroyed it. Even the Saint Lord's spiritual power had probably been refined, and his cultivation was not as strong as before.

Su Yun frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The golden body of the Saint Lord was disintegrating faster and faster. At this rate, the Saint Lord probably couldn't hold on for much longer.

"I cultivate my great righteous qi!"

The Saint Lord pointed towards the Embroidered Picture, and it flew forward with the wind, trying to use its powerful spirit weapon to suppress the demonic nature of Shuofang City and save General Li and the others.

However, in the Embroidered Picture, Tian Kongyue stirred her true essence, transforming into a true dragon and constantly destroying the power of this great spirit weapon, making it impossible for its righteous qi to be fully exerted.

Suddenly, the Saint Lord leaped into the air and chased after the Embroidered Picture. In the moment he jumped, Su Yun and the others saw a green dragon-shaped sword light in the sky chasing after him!

"It is a righteous qi, the greatest and strongest! It nourishes straightness without causing harm, and is stuck between heaven and earth!"

The Saint Lord caught the sword in mid-air, taking a step forward and striking into the Embroidered Picture!

In the Embroidered Picture, sword light flashed, and true dragons were beheaded one by one, staining the picture with blood.

As the blood rose, Tian Kongyue's head suddenly fell to the ground.

The Saint Lord stopped his sword and fell, landing on the top of a building's pavilion.This sacred and powerful knife, leaning on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, urged the Splendid Picture from afar. The righteous aura burst forth from the picture, suppressing General Li's demonic nature!

General Li's demonic nature dissipated, and he looked up to see that the thunder tribulation in the sky had already dissipated.

The Holy Sage continued to urge the Splendid Picture, which was like a moving land in the sky, flying towards other noble families.

Su Yun flew rapidly on the back of Long Xiang, but saw that there were flickering lights behind the Holy Sage, dissipating in the air, and his golden body was rapidly disintegrating.

Long Xiang stopped and stood on the immortal residence of the building. In the pavilion, the Holy Sage's figure had already dissipated by more than half.

"Elder..."

Su Yun opened his mouth, but suddenly a soft hand held his hand. Su Yun looked over and saw that it was Chi Xiaoyao's hand.

Chi Xiaoyao shook her head. "The Holy Sage was originally a person who sacrificed himself for righteousness. Junior Brother, there is no need to persuade him."

Ying Ying nodded. "As long as the Holy Sage's spirit is still there, he can still reshape his golden body. After all, he is a true saint, not appointed by the emperor or the people, and he will definitely be able to rebuild his golden body in the future."

"But..."

Su Yun was a little confused. Seeing Zuo Songyan coming from afar, he saw that Zuo Songyan had white hair all over his head and did not approach. Su Yun whispered, "But, Left Deputy has already grown old."

Zuo Songyan, who was willing to spend his whole life to reshape the golden body for the Holy Sage who sacrificed himself for righteousness, was already old.

Zuo Songyan didn't have another forty years.

Zuo Songyan was worried that if he died, would anyone remember to make a golden body for the Holy Sage?

Su Yun suddenly understood Zuo Songyan and silently thought to himself, "He established the Wen Chang Academy, probably to pass on the spirit of the Wen Chang Emperor. He was afraid that after he was gone, no one would worship the Wen Chang Emperor, so he named the school Wen Chang Academy! He wants every scholar to know about the Wen Chang Emperor!"

The Holy Sage completely dissipated, leaving only his spirit.

His spirit was pulled by a strange force, flying towards the Tian Shi Yuan. He held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in one hand and inserted the hilt into the immortal residence, resisting the power of the Tian Shi Yuan, while still trying to control the Splendid Picture and suppress the demonic nature of other generals.

"Teacher, please go."

Zuo Songyan bowed to the Holy Sage's spirit. "The student will definitely use the Splendid Picture well to suppress the demonic nature in the Shuo Fang City!"

The Holy Sage smiled and pulled out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Long Xiang suddenly exerted force and rushed forward. The Holy Sage's spirit held the blade and landed on Long Xiang's back. Long Xiang leaped into the night sky.

A thunderous sound came, and Long Xiang carried the Holy Sage, whistling away.

Su Yun waved his hand, feeling lost. Ying Ying stood next to him and smiled, "Did you lose a good horse? Do you think it's a pity?"

Su Yun shook his head. "I just appreciate the spirit and aura of the sages and predecessors, so I feel a little lost when I see them leave. I have ridden a horse with my senior sister and enjoyed the wind, so my wish has been fulfilled. How could I be reluctant to part with Long Xiang's speed and not want to let it go?"

Ying Ying glanced at Chi Xiaoyao and whispered, "Your senior sister is also a dragon. You can let her transform and ride her. You won't be much slower than Long Xiang!"

Su Yun's face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed. "This... isn't very appropriate. Senior sister won't agree..."Ying Ying tempted: "How do you know if Senior Sister won't agree if you don't try?"

Su Yun was about to gather his courage when suddenly Zuo Songyan's voice came: "Su Shangshi, do you think tonight will be the final battle?"

Su Yun quickly dispelled his strange thoughts and approached, surprised: "Pu She, what final battle is happening tonight?"

Zuo Songyan activated the Splendid Map and laughed heartily at his words: "As expected of the cunning Su Shangshi, you think just like me! Tonight, General Li and other half-demons' demonic nature will be suppressed, and once the Heavenly Tribulation passes, there will be no final battle!"

Su Yun was confused: "What did I say?"
