Chapter 184: Seraphic Sword Talisman
"Boom!"
A plain punch directly knocked Zhu Tao upside down.
As Zhu Tao finally stood firm, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
According to the information he received, before participating in the Spirit Island Trial, Mo Xiu was only a Profound Spirit Realm cultivator. Even if his strength could rival that of any Essence Converging Realm experts, he shouldn't be an opponent of Abstruse Form Realm cultivators.
The whole process of the Spirit Island Trial only took about a month, but Mo Xiu's strength had such a colossal leap?
Fortunately, Zhong Ruhao knew about some of Mo Xiu's actions on Spirit Island and sent Zhu Tao, one of the top-drawer Abstruse Form Realm cultivators over, he would be killed by Mo Xiu with a punch otherwise.
Thinking of the extensive power contained in that punch just now, Zhu Tao no longer dared to despise Mo Xiu, the eyes looking at Mo Xiu were full of high alertness.
At this time, the core disciples on Sky Origin Peak were attracted by the movement of the fight, and they watched from a short distance.
Several core disciples who did not stay at the Sky Origin Peak, Song Shenxue, Ge Liuyun, and Bu Jianting, also came to Sky Origin Peak and stood nearby to watch.
Leaving aside other things, Song Shenxue, Ge Liuyun, and Bu Jianting were all from Ji Linyuan's side.
Originally, Zhu Tao's idea was to take advantage of Song Shenxue and the others' attention to quickly kill Mo Xiu. But now, he realized that what he was thinking seemed to be taken for granted.
"Senior Sister Song, don't you want to help Junior Brother Wu Jue?" a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect suddenly asked.
Song Shenxue thought for a moment and shook her head slightly, "You can take action, I can't. I am no longer a core disciple."
"..."
That disciple was taken aback for a moment.
Song Shenxue explained, "Just now, Supreme Elder Zhong granted me the position of deacon of the sect, but he has not officially announced it to the outside world. If I act, the people on his side will have a reason to intervene. By then, the entire Seraphic Sword Sect might really have to usher in an internal war."
"They are already too unreasonable, they even raised the table upside down directly, do we still need to abide by the rules they set?" that disciple said with a bit of annoyance.
"No matter how unreasonable, it is still within the controllable range of the situation after all. Neither Master nor the Supreme Elder Zhong would want the Seraphic Sword Sect to truly go to extinction," Song Shenxue replied calmly.
Ge Liuyun could understand Ji Linyuan and Zhong Ruhao's thoughts. He said, "Be at ease. They can do some tricks, but Junior Brother Wu Jue is not that weak. I have a feeling that Zhu Tao will lose under Wu Jue's hands."
...
The disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect around were talking intensely, but most people didn't think that Mo Xiu could defeat Zhu Tao.
Zhu Tao was originally worried that Ge Liuyun, Bu Jianting, and others would intervene, and he was even more worried that Song Shenxue would tear his face and kill him directly. Now, it seemed that these were not problems, which made him involuntarily relieved.
He drew his mind a little, looked at Mo Xiu, and said coldly, "Your strength is beyond my expectation. But that said, there are only people I don't want to kill, and there are no people I can't kill!"
As he uttered, he swiftly summoned a sword.
Mo Xiu didn't put Zhu Tao in his eyes at all. He glanced at the sword, and between waving his hands, that sword fell directly into his hand.
"What!" Zhu Tao was shocked.
"In the Seraphic Sword Sect, no one can point a sword at me!" Mo Xiu said and directly put the sword into his storage ring.
After all, this was the sword obtained from the Sword Valley, and Mo Xiu, as the master of the Sword Raising Gourd, could of course easily snatch Zhu Tao's sword.
And it was precisely because he was the master of the Sword Raising Gourd that he put Zhu Tao's sword into the storage ring because this was originally his thing, so he couldn't just throw it away.
Zhu Tao didn't know this, but he remembered the battle between Mo Xiu and Zhuo Yuchen he had heard before. At that time, Zhuo Yuchen's arm was cut off by Mo Xiu because the sword in his hand was out of control.
At that time, Zhuo Yuchen suspected that Mo Xiu had the ability to control his opponent's sword.
Originally, Zhu Tao didn't take it seriously and didn't think anyone could control his sword. Now, it seemed that the guess was correct.
As a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect, many sword skills could not be displayed without a sword, but this was also not impossible.
Zhu Tao's face was gloomy for a while before the blood in his body surged. A few special acupoints were opened, his momentum skyrocketed, and his combat power instantly increased nearly twice.
"..."
Mo Xiu was a little surprised.
Of course, he could feel the changes in Zhu Tao's momentum and knew that Zhu Tao's combat power had improved in an instant.
But what really surprised him was that this method of enhancing combat power gave him a familiar feeling. It seemed that Yan Wuji also used this method to improve combat power, but the special acupoints on Yan Wuji's body were very different. It was easy to see that it was used to increase combat power, and the acupoints on Zhu Tao's body were difficult to see if they were not opened.
"Go to hell!"
Zhu Tao yelled violently and rushed towards Mo Xiu on the spur of the moment.
Mo Xiu did not dodge and did not evade. Running the Profound Yellow Battle Body, Profound Yellow Energy spread to his whole body. As the Profound Yellow Battle Body opened, a steady flow of power came out, his combat power straight off increased four times.
He didn't dodge and welcomed Zhu Tao with a punch in return.
"Boom!"
Zhu Tao was bombarded once again, and before he could stand firm, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Why do you also know this method?" of course, he felt the change in Mo Xiu's combat power.
"Also? Do you think I would use a lowly method like yours?"
Then Mo Xiu's figure flew out, and he appeared in front of Zhu Tao in the blink of an eye. Clutching Zhu Tao's neck, he hit Zhu Tao's body with punch after punch.
"Boom, boom..."
Zhu Tao was beaten to a dizzy turn, only to feel that his entire body was about to explode.
After finally getting used to the power of Mo Xiu's fist, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Wu Jue! You are looking for death!"
As soon as his voice fell, a piece of talisman paper appeared in his hand.
"No! It's a Seraphic Sword Talisman!"
The faces of the people watching the battle changed.
This was naturally an offensive talisman, and the power that erupted was equivalent to a full blow from a strong man in the Sea Core Realm.
Although the disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect recognized the Seraphic Sword Talisman, none of them possessed the Seraphic Sword Talisman, because it was extremely difficult to refine the Seraphic Sword Talisman. Let alone whether there were people who could refine the talisman, a very important condition was that all the cultivation bases of a Sea Core Realm cultivator must be sampled.
Only when the life force was exhausted, the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect who was about to die could use all his cultivation bases to refine the Seraphic Sword Talisman. But even if the life force was exhausted, there were very few Seraphic Sword Sect elders who were willing to do this.
Zhu Tao also received the Seraphic Sword Talisman from Zhong Ruhao, which was regarded as the reward for this action. Once Song Shenxue really intervened at all costs, he could also use the Seraphic Sword Talisman to deal with Song Shenxue. And although he did not know whether he could kill Song Shenxue, at least there was no problem getting out of Song Shenxue's hands.
But now, he faced the risk of being beaten to death by Mo Xiu alive, so he could only take out the Seraphic Sword Talisman to kill Mo Xiu.
With the power of a strong Sea Core Realm expert with a full blow, he didn't believe that Mo Xiu could handle it.
As for the people watching the battle, they had to hide after discovering that it was the Seraphic Sword Talisman. Even Song Shenxue would definitely not be able to save Mo Xiu after a certain distance.
As long as Zhu Tao could kill Mo Xiu, his mission this time would be completed.
As for the consequences of killing Mo Xiu, he could no longer control that much.
Suddenly, even Song Shenxue didn't expect Zhu Tao to have a Seraphic Sword Talisman, so it was too late to save the scene.
But Song Shenxue and others didn't expect it, it didn't mean Mo Xiu didn't expect it.
In fact, Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness knew it the moment Zhong Ruhao approached Zhu Tao, and he also knew that Zhong Ruhao's reward for Zhu Tao was a Seraphic Sword Talisman. In this case, he would certainly not be unguarded.
Rather, the reason why he wanted to beat Zhu Tao was not to kill Zhu Tao directly, or to wait for Zhu Tao to take out the Seraphic Sword Talisman. Because if he killed Zhu Tao directly, he might accidentally detonate the Seraphic Sword Talisman. This was a bit wasteful.
Seeing Zhu Tao showing a smug smile, Mo Xiu raised his hand and waved, an invisible True Energy blade light directly cut off one of Zhu Tao's arms. Then the Seraphic Sword Talisman that had just been taken out, together with Zhu Tao's arm, flew out directly.
"Argh!"
Zhu Tao let out a scream, blood spurting crazily at the broken arm.
After finally stopping the blood with the power of True Energy, he looked at Mo Xiu, his face was incredulous, "Did you know that I wanted to use the Seraphic Sword Talisman?"
Mo Xiu didn't answer, he put his mind on the Seraphic Sword Talisman that had fallen into his hand.
Zhu Tao was originally a little desperate, but when he saw this, his face suddenly became grim, and said with a sneer, "Fool, that Seraphic Sword Talisman only needs to be triggered by Divine Consciousness. It doesn't need True Energy to be activated at all. You are seeking a road of death!"
While speaking, his Divine Consciousness had already fallen on the Seraphic Sword Talisman, ready to urge the Seraphic Sword Talisman to operate.
It was just that he was dumbfounded very quickly. His Divine Consciousness could not penetrate into it at all, let alone urging the Seraphic Sword Talisman to operate.
"What's the matter?" he said incredulously.
Of course, Mo Xiu knew that this Seraphic Sword Talisman could be activated by Divine Consciousness. Regarding the strength of Divine Consciousness, no one in the entire Seraphic Sword Sect could compare to him. After his Divine Consciousness was overlaid on the Seraphic Sword Talisman, Zhu Tao's Divine Consciousness could not even scratch it.
He immediately erased Zhu Tao's Divine Consciousness's mark in the Seraphic Sword Talisman, and then put the Seraphic Sword Talisman away.
"You...!" Zhu Tao was immediately stunned silly and even forgot his pain.
From the moment he saw Mo Xiu, everything was out of his expectation. He didn't expect that the Seraphic Sword Talisman, which was his last card, turned into Mo Xiu's bag in a blink of an eye.
Mo Xiu snorted coldly, "You have no value, now, you can go to death!"
With that said, for the first time, he used all his strength and slammed Zhu Tao with a punch.
This time, Zhu Tao was not blasted away, but with a "bang", a bloody hole appeared, and Zhu Tao died with his face stunned.
