Chapter 357: Luna Rescue
The sky burned for a full three days and three nights.
The confrontation between Zhao Mu and Tang Zhi's domain lasted for three days.
It was a draw.
However, Tang Zhi could not defeat a Combination cultivator after three days with the power of a Heavenly Being. This was a crushing defeat.
He began to fall into self-doubt.
Ever since he was young, Tang Zhi had always been the most dazzling existence in the crowd.
He had lived two lifetimes and constantly pursued the pinnacle of the Sword Dao. Even when he was eating and sleeping, he was comprehending sword intent.
m.
Returning All Swords to Origin was never his end.
In Tang Zhi's heart, he wanted to challenge the Sword Immortal at the peak of the Sword Dao.
He had never even taken the Sword God Qu Liu seriously.
But today, he was actually fighting a Combination cultivator here. Even if he used all his methods, he could not gain the slightest advantage.
Anyone would be dumbfounded.
Could it be that my talent and my diligence were all fake?
Just as Tang Zhi was in a state of self-doubt, Zhao Mu was still full of energy. Her pure Yang energy was pouring out of her body like it was free of charge. Her pure fire domain was much stronger than when she had first condensed it. She did not show any signs of decline at all.
On the other hand, although Tang Zhi's sword formation domain still had its sword intent, it was no longer as fierce and powerful as before.
At this moment, it seemed that Zhao Mu had the upper hand.
This made the disciples of the Devil Sect a little dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that this would be the outcome?
The opponent was a genuine Heavenly Being Supreme. Moreover, it was a Heavenly Being Supreme in his peak state.
Logically speaking, an expert of this level could end the battle with a flick of his finger.
But this time, he had landed himself squarely on an iron plate.
Zhao Mu was this iron plate.
"Tang Zhi, give up. If you continue to fight, your sword heart will be unstable."
At this moment, a deep and old voice came from the sky.
The moment he heard the voice, Tang Qing's face instantly turned pale.
This was … the voice of the Tang family's patriarch.
Could it be that the patriarch had come?
He originally thought that suppressing Tang Zhi would resolve the crisis of the Devil Sect. However, if the Tang family's patriarch came personally, there would be no suspense in this battle.
They were both Sky Supremes, but the strength of the Tang Family's Old Ancestor was countless times stronger than Tang Zhi's!
The strength of the Tang Clan's old ancestor might not be unrivalled in the Immortal Martial Continent, but he was definitely one of the top three existences.
Even the publicly acknowledged number one expert of the Immortal Martial Continent, the Azure Dragon Sovereign, wasn't qualified to carry the Tang Clan's old ancestor's shoes.
If he were to personally attack the Devil Sect, even if Zhao Mu had heaven-defying means, he would not be able to turn the tide.
"Patriarch …"
Tang Zhi looked ashamed. Without saying a word, he withdrew the Sword Formation Domain and turned to leave.
"Stop, my Devil Sect is not a place where you can come and go as you please!"
Zhao Mu snorted and slashed forward with the Clear Sky Sword in his hand.
"Junior, don't be so arrogant."
All of a sudden, an aged large hand appeared out of nowhere, intercepting the Vast Heaven Sword in midair.
It was an old man who looked dignified without being angry. There was no aura fluctuation on his body, but from the fact that he could grab the sharp immortal sword with his bare hands, not to mention his cultivation, his physical body was already ridiculously strong.
Zhao Mu's eyes narrowed, and his expression became unprecedentedly solemn.
He could still fight Tang Zhi with his domain, but Zhao Mu could not see any hope of winning against this old man.
This person should be the Tang Family's Patriarch.
"Two Supremes of the Tang Family have come personally for a small Saint Origin Devil Sect. How generous." Zhao Mu's tone was full of mockery.
"There's no need to argue. I'm not here to make enemies. I just want to take away Tang Yuan's corpse. That's all."
The Tang Family's Patriarch's tone was indifferent and calm. He even threw Zhao Mu's Clear Sky Sword back.
After receiving the Clear Sky Sword, Zhao Mu could not help but ponder.
The Tang Family's Patriarch's strength was unfathomable. Even if the Profound Secrets Empress came, it would be difficult for the two of them to fight against him.
If he insisted on guarding his father-in-law's corpse, the price he would have to pay would be beyond what the Devil Sect could bear.
At this time, Tang Qing also flew to Zhao Mu's side.
"Junior Tang Qing greets the Patriarch. I'm willing to hand over my father's corpse. I only ask the Patriarch to promise me that I won't invade the Devil Sect in the future. I'll be eternally grateful."
Hearing Tang Qing's words, Zhao Mu knew that she also had the intention to keep the peace.
But no one expected the Tang Family's Patriarch's reaction to be so subtle.
"In this Immortal Martial Continent, there's no one who can negotiate with this old man. Also, who said that this old man only wanted Tang Yuan's corpse? As a member of my Tang Clan, it's only right that you return with this old man."
Tang Qing was shocked. She never thought that the Patriarch would take her back to the Tang Family.
Once she left, the road ahead would be unpredictable. She might not have the chance to return!
However, facing the extremely powerful Tang Family's Patriarch, Tang Qing could not think of resisting.
Thoughts.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Mu reluctantly. She was about to speak.
But at this time, the Tang Family's Patriarch suddenly looked shocked. He looked into the distance with uncertainty.
In the next moment, there was a natural phenomenon.
It was clearly daytime, but there was a bright moon in the sky.
The cold moonlight made the earth a little colder.
For a moment, the Tang Family's Patriarch felt his hands and feet turn cold, and he found it difficult to breathe.
A strong sense of danger kept surging in his heart.
"Could it be … that person?"
Zhao Mu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the bright moonlight.
"Sister Yue, you're finally willing to show yourself."
Zhao Mu's tone was filled with resentment. If the Moon God had not disappeared, he would not have had to take such a huge risk and fight Tang Zhi for three days and three nights. These three days seemed easy, but the pressure on Zhao Mu's body was not ordinary. If he had been distracted for even a moment, the Devil's Doctrine would have been buried under thousands of swords.
The Moon God slowly descended from the sky, stepping on a wisp of moonlight.
Her expression was a little lazy, as if she hadn't woken up yet. She stretched her arms lazily and yawned. "Do you think I'm very free? I've been dealing with a lot of things these past few days. I was so busy that I didn't sleep for a moment. I wanted to have a good sleep after coming back, but you're fighting in full swing and disturbing my peace. If I didn't come back, I don't know how long it would take."
Zhao Mu blushed with shame. I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest.
As she spoke, the Moon God slowly turned around. Her cold gaze casually swept over him.
The Tang Family's ancestor was already drenched in cold sweat, his entire body trembling.
He moved his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Damn it, how could it be like this?
Shouldn't this legendary existence have died on the moon? How could she still be alive and have returned to the Immortal Martial Continent?
She was an undying existence that was active in the Desolate Era. At that time, the Tang Family did not even exist.
Today, seeing such an undying existence, the Tang Family's ancestor did not have any other emotions other than shock.
The Immortal Martial Continent had really changed. Even an undying existence had appeared in public. The Tang Family's position as the number one hidden family would soon be lost.
"What are you still standing there for?
Do you want me to kick you before you're willing to leave? "The Moon God scolded impatiently.
"I … I'll take my leave now."
At this time, the Tang Family's ancestor did not dare to make any more requests. He brought the dazed Tang Zhi and fled, disappearing without a trace.
