My Disciples Are All Villains-Chapter 1742 - Gap
Ye Tianxin looked at the passage and felt her mood improve. This passage led to the peak of cultivation, and she had to seize the opportunity. After taking another deep breath, she took a step onto the passage.
At the same time, a voice called out from behind, “Commander Ye, please wait.”
Ye Tianxin did not know much about comprehending the Great Dao. She thought they were going to advise her so she turned to ask, “What is it?”
Yuan Zhi smiled and said, “Commander Ye, please don’t rush in. You don’t know much about the upper core, after all. Let me tell you the way to comprehend the Great Dao.”
Ye Tianxin nodded; she had hoped for this. “Thank you. Please speak.”
Yuan Zhi said awkwardly, “You’ll have to step out of the passage. There might be remnant energy from before so we don’t dare to approach.”
Ye Tianxin did not think much of it and walked out. However, not long after she exited, she noticed the cultivator moved to block the entrance of the upper core.
‘Hm?’
Although it was strange, Ye Tianxin did not think much of it. She looked at Yuan Zhi and said, “Please speak.”
Yuan Zhi smiled and nodded. Then, he said smugly, “Thank you very much, Commander Ye, for opening the passage to the upper core.”
Ye Tianxin raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
Yuan Zhi waved his hand and said, “Commander Ye, please rest in the flying chariot.”
Ye Tianxin frowned. “Hm? Are you trying to stop me?”
“I’m not trying to stop you,” Yuan Zhi said, “Rou Zhao Hall has been suppressed for so many years, and we have to do the Sacred Temple’s biddings. However, we’re not fools. We won’t do something like helping the enemy. So, Commander Ye, please forgive us.”
Ye Tianxin was puzzled. “Helping the enemy? I won the position of Commander of Rou Zhao Hall, and none of you objected. What do you mean by this?”
“That was before…” Yuan Zhi said, “Commander, you should know this very well. Why do you treat us like fools?”
Ye Tianxin said, “What are you talking about? I’ve always been honest with all of you.”
Ye Tianxin was really confused. She did not understand what Yuan Zhi was trying to say. Finally, she said, “In any case, I’ve opened the passage. No matter who it is, no one can stop me from entering and comprehending the Great Dao.”
“Since you’re so insistent, don’t blame us for not being polite,” Yuan Zhi said before he waved his hand and ordered, “Take her down!”
The cultivators of Rou Zhao Hall moved in unison, surrounding Ye Tianxin. Countless avatars appeared around the upper core at once.
The atmosphere turned tense in just a blink of an eye.
The cultivators’ movements were decisive and consistent. It was clear to Ye Tianxin now that this was not a sudden decision. It was clearly premeditated. She asked expressionlessly, ‘You dare to make a move?”
Yuan Zhi said dismissively, “Why not? If you want to die, we’ll grant you your wish. When the time comes, we’ll say you suffered a backlash while comprehending the Great Dao and died as a result.” Then, he said to others, “Now!”
Swoosh!
A golden lotus bloomed under Ye Tianxin’s feet before karmic fire began to burn. At the same time, flaming golden lotuses shot out in all directions like golden butterflies. This was her life-saving technique.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The cultivators were repelled by Ye Tianxin’s golden lotuses.
Yuan Zhi flew out and unleashed countless energy seals. “You can’t deal with all of us alone!”
Ye Tianxin waved her hand, and her weapon, the Amorous Hoop, flew out. It was shrouded in light and power of the Dao as it spun out.
Just like this, an intense battle broke out at the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction at Rou Zhao Hall.
“Blue Waves Technique.”
Energy like powerful waves slammed into the avatars in the air as the Amorous Hoop attacked the avatars one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle continued to intensify.
Buzz!
Yuan Zhi nodded before he manifested his avatar.”I didn’t expect you to be so tenacious.”
The green avatar soared up into the sky and advanced toward Ye Tianxin like a huge mountain.
The duo was competing with the pure power of the Dao.
Ye Tianxin used the power of the Dao and flashed to the sky above the upper core.
Yuan Zhi said in a deep voice, “You can’t run!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hidden experts flew out one after another from the flying chariot.
With this, the only two Dao Saints in Rou Zhao Hall appeared. One stood in front, and one stood behind. The one in front was Yuan Zhi.
Yuan Zhi said, “Stop your futile struggle. We’ve planned this beforehand. If you want to blame someone, you can blame your master.”
Initially, Ye Tianxin was not angry. It was just a conflict of interest, after all. However, she grew furious when Yuan Zhi dragged her master into the matter. She said angrily, “What does this have to do with my master? No matter the reason, you’ll have to be punished for dragging my master into this matter!”
Boom!
The golden lotus grew bigger as the Amorous Hoop flew back to the avatar, releasing wave-like energy.
The fierce beasts within a hundred miles of the upper core felt the powerful tremors and fled in all directions.
“Take her down! She’s alone. What can she do?!”
As soon as Yuan Zhi’s words fell, the cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall flew up one after another and surrounded Ye Tianxin again.
The Amorous Hoop spun and began to burn with flames as well. Then, it flew out, tearing through space, attacking the cultivators in the surroundings.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A cultivator, who was hit by the Amorous Hoop, plummeted from the sky as he kept losing his Birth Charts.
The other avatars that came in contact with the Amorous Hoop were instantly burned.
Yuan Zhi frowned. “What a powerful weapon…”
Swoosh!
Yuan Zhi no longer held back. Together with another Dao Saint, he manifested his avatar again. He raised his hand and sent a dazzling palm seal toward Ye Tianxin.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ye Tianxin sensed the other party’s strength had increased greatly so she quickly lowered her altitude. She did not care about the others from Rou Zhao Hall, but she knew she had to guard against the two Dao Saints.
Yuan Zhi said, “Commander Ye, it’s better to surrender. A meaningless struggle only wastes both our time.”
“You overestimate yourself,” Ye Tianxin said before she rose to the sky again.
At the same time, the surrounding cultivators pounced on her again.
Yuan Zhi said in a deep voice, “You’re the one who’s overestimating yourself. How many years has it been since you became a Dao Saint? You really think you can defeat us?”
Buzz! Buzz!
The two Dao Saints brought their astrolabes at the same time. One had 33 Birth Charts, and the other had 34 Birth Charts.
Yuan Zhi was a Great Dao Saint!
Boom!
The beam of light from Yuan Zhi’s astrolabe was clearly different from that of the other Dao Saint. It hit Ye Tianxin’s Amorous Hoop and sent it crashing against the nearby mountain.
When the shockwave rolled out, Ye Tianxin hurriedly unleashed a palm seal to block the shockwave. She was pushed quite a distance back. The shockwave caused her blood and qi to churn, making her feel slightly uncomfortable.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators of Rou Zhao Hall cheered, and their fighting spirit rose greatly. They looked at Yuan Zhi’s astrolabe with eyes that shone with joy and pride.
Yuan Zhi smiled. “What do you think?”
“Great Dao Saint?” Ye Tianxin cocked an eyebrow.
Yuan Zhi nodded and said, “Yes. It happened ten years ago.”
Ye Tianxin stared at Yuan Zhi as she waved her hand. The Amorous Hoop buzzed and flew back.
“Why bother?” Yuan Zhi asked.
“So what if you’re a Great Dao Saint?” Ye Tianxin said as her eyes shone with determination.
At this time, the Dao Saint and cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall flew up to the sky and began chanting.
In just an instant, the energy began to surge near the upper core.
Ye Tianxin felt the pressure multiply. At the same time, she felt as though her Primal Qi was being drained by her surroundings. As time passed, the feeling became even more uncomfortable.
Yuan Zhi chuckled. “What do you think? Are you surprised?”
Boom!
Suddenly, an energy saber flew over and accurately pierced the back and heart of a cultivator from Rou Zhao Hall before exiting through his chest. He did not even have time to cry out before his avatar disappeared and he plummeted to the ground.
Then, a voice rang from the distance, echoing Yuan Zhi’s earlier words, “What do you think? Are you surprised?”
Yuan Zhi was shocked.
Everyone turned in unison to look in the direction of the voice. They saw two people flying over from afar at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. The person on the left held a saber in his hand while the person on the right carried a sword on his back.The duo flew at the same speed, looking elegant and graceful.
Yuan Zhi’s expression changed drastically.
“These two people are…”
Ye Tianxin’s next words seemed to send everyone from Rou Zhao Hall to hell. She said happily, “Greetings, First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother.”
“...”
The cultivators of Rou Zhao Hall trembled.
Yuan Zhi recalled how the duo had defeated their opponents during the commanders’ competition and seized the positions of commander.
‘They… What are they doing here?! Shouldn’t they be at their respective halls?!’
When Yuan Zhi reacted, he quickly said, “Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding! Commander Ye’s cultivation is indeed profound! We were just testing her ability before she enters the upper core to ensure… to ensure…”
The more Yuan Zhi spoke, the less confident he became. His confidence faltered even more when he saw the faint smile on the swordsman’s face.
The swordsman suddenly drew the sword on his back with his right hand. Then, he shook his head and said with a faint smile, “I’m very sorry, but the way you speak is very annoying.”
Yu Shangrong flashed and arrived in front of Yuan Zhi. In just an instant, the sword in his hand released countless energy swords. He flashed around, leaving afterimages in his wake. His speed was so fast that almost everyone from Rou Zhao Hall could not see him at all.
Swoosh!
Yuan Zhi was in shock, but he still tried to resist. However, before he could even make a move, Yu Shangrong had already returned to his original position and sheathed his sword.
Everyone, including Yuan Zhi, was stupefied.
Yuan Zhi’s right hand trembled uncontrollably. He looked down in fear and trepidation and saw the many wounds on his body. The scariest wound was one that was so deep that it seemed to have reached his bone; it was unlike the other bloody wounds. The scariest thing was he did not feel anything at all. He did not understand why the gap between them was so huge when they were both Great Dao Saints?
After Yu Shangrong sheathed his sword, he said in a leisurely manner, “I’m in a good mood so I’ll give you a choice. You can end it yourself, or I can end it for you.”
“...”
