"This Golden Halberd..." Song Knife’s pupils contracted slightly. He had seen this Golden Halberd just a month ago. It was the Artifact of the Burial Halberd Elder!
Burial Halberd Elder? With our combined strength and the help of the array technique, Nan Lu and I should be able to kill him... I can’t let the news of waylaying and robbing him leak out. Killing intent instantly boiled in Song Knife’s eyes.
If he hadn’t pretended to be a moral gentleman in the Sect, there might have been room for reconciliation with the Burial Halberd Elder today. But unfortunately, his reputation had already spread far and wide. Now, if news of his duplicity were to reach the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, his reputation would be utterly ruined and his fa would plumt—that was inevitable. Yan Sheng had just hosted a banquet for him at Cloud and Flower Building to ’apologize,’ and now he was ambushing and killing Yan Sheng out here... This was the act of a complete hypocrite! Once labeled as such, the rest of his life in the Flying Feather Immortal Palace would surely be bleak. It was predictable: the renown that had aided him so much in the past would now fuel an equally powerful backlash.
"Fellow Daoist..."
"The person you want to rob and kill is not , but Yan Sheng. I am only here to do my job for the money. There’s no need for us to fight to the death."
The Burial Halberd Elder looked at Song Knife, took a deep breath, and cupped his hands in a salute.
His Blood Escape technique was broken, and he had been forced to reveal his trump card to block that Heavenly Intent One Knife. He was extrely frustrated at this mont. However, he wouldn’t let such a minor frustration affect the bigger picture. Seeing Song Knife’s displayed thods, how could he not know that this Sea Bandit was clearly Song Knife, the Chief of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, in disguise? Appearances are easy to change, but fundantal Daoist thods are hard to alter. He didn’t want to make an enemy of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace over this. He wasn’t afraid of Song Knife himself, but rather the Flying Feather Immortal Palace behind him.
"So it was Senior Burial Halberd who took the task..."
Song Knife chuckled upon hearing this. "Senior Burial Halberd, don’t worry. As long as you tell Yan Sheng’s whereabouts, I will let you leave this array technique."
"Yan Sheng is my employer," the Burial Halberd Elder shook his head. "I won’t tell you his whereabouts. And this array technique alone is not enough to trap ."
It wasn’t that he couldn’t betray Yan Sheng. But since he was confident he could escape on his own, why would he allow Song Knife to manipulate him? Furthermore, Song Knife was treacherous and despicable; he didn’t want to fall so easily into his sches.
"In that case..." Song Knife drew out his words, as if about to turn hostile.
But in that very instant, even as he spoke, he attacked. The Lingxiao Sword appeared in his grasp. He ford a hand seal, and it transford into thirteen small weapons that flew alongside him, stabbing towards the Burial Halberd Elder.
"Despicable!"
The Burial Halberd Elder cursed angrily. With a flick of his Golden Halberd, he knocked aside the weapons that had split from the Lingxiao Sword, sending them clattering to the ground.
Then, he tore off the robe wrapped around him, revealing a muscular, knotted upper body.
Streams of black, baleful energy erupted from his pores. Using Daoist thods, he transford into a horned Demon God over thirty ters tall; its Dharma Phase exuded an overwhelming, ferocious might.
No wonder he has the strength to kill a Zhaoming Sect Dao Lord... Just this Demon God Dharma Phase alone has an aura approaching that of a Dao Lord...
Song Knife frowned. He crossed his hands, using the power of the array technique to try and trap the Burial Halberd Elder, while he himself retreated outside the formation.
Engaging the Burial Halberd Elder in close combat right now would be too reckless.
Master’s Talisman Treasure... Song Knife retrieved the Talisman Treasure from his Storage Bag, the one Lingxiao Dao Lord had left him when he died years ago.
The Talisman Treasure was three feet in size and made of jade. Inside, a small silver fish swam lazily.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that this silver fish was identical to the Lingxiao Sword in his hand.
This Talisman Treasure had been created from a part of the Lingxiao Sword’s Origin Energy.
The path of the Dao is difficult. Master left three Talisman Treasures back then, and now only this last one remains...
Song Knife hesitated, wondering whether to use this Talisman Treasure against his foe.
The Burial Halberd Elder was a veteran True Monarch. Without the aid of the array technique’s power, he was no match for him.
But—
He still had Xu Xing, that nesis, to deal with.
Once he used the Talisman Treasure left by Lingxiao Dao Lord, his chances of defeating Xu Xing in the future would be extrely low.
After all, Xu Xing likely still possessed the Talisman Treasure given to him by the Giant Sword Daoist Monarch.
Fellow Daoist Nan has arrived.
Suddenly, Song Knife sensed a True Monarch’s aura approaching from the Eastern Sea—it was identical to Nan Lu’s.
"Kill!"
Seeing that Song Knife had reinforcents, the Burial Halberd Elder no longer hesitated. He roared angrily, and the shadowy form of his Demon God Dharma Phase gradually solidified. The horns on its forehead turned blood-red, as if cast from Fresh Blood.
The Golden Halberd he wielded took on a crimson hue, and with a single strike, it blasted an opening in the surrounding array technique.
The Array Banners of the Three Great Arrays instantly dimd, their surfaces peeling and flagpoles cracking.
"Ghost Spirit, go!"
Nan Lu slapped her soul-nurturing bag, and a ghostly spring appeared beneath her feet.
In an instant, a black, spectral figure attached itself to the Burial Halberd Elder’s Demon God Dharma Phase, beginning to entangle it and drain its life force.
CRACK! CRACK!
BOOM!
Several different sounds followed in quick succession.
The Burial Halberd Elder tore the Ghost Spirit apart and closed in on Nan Lu, who was nearest to him. He swung the Golden Halberd at her, showing no rcy to the beautiful woman.
Specks of Fresh Blood scattered onto the sea surface.
Nan Lu retreated hastily, but she still nearly lost her life.
"How did you provoke the Burial Halberd Elder?" she berated Song Knife.
"The Burial Halberd Elder already sees us as mortal enemies. This isn’t the ti to bicker about gains and losses; killing him is what’s most important," Song Knife said. "He has repeatedly burned his Essence Blood; he doesn’t have long to live. His hatred for us is imnse."
Song Knife unleashed a wave of blade energy, helping Nan Lu block one of the Burial Halberd Elder’s attacks. Then, taking the seriously injured Nan Lu, he retreated to a safe distance and began launching long-range attacks against the Burial Halberd Elder.
