NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 254.1
At the Great Luo imperial palace, upon hearing the news, the Great Luo Emperor exploded in anger once again.
“That damned Demoness, she’s actually causing chaos in my realm again! Just when the situation was finally under control, it’s all got out of hand again! Taoist Master, I implore you to intervene again on behalf of the Taoist Sect and restore peace to the world!”
Taoist Yuxu was also indignant: “That woman is indeed too arrogant, completely disregarding our Taoist Sect! Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already requested my senior brother to eliminate her!”
“Taoist Master Yuxu, could we possibly enlist another Grandmaster? It’s not that I underestimated your senior brother’s strength, but the opponent’s movement skill is too extraordinary. If we can’t catch up, we can’t deal with her!” The Great Luo Emperor expressed his concerns.
Previously, they had dispatched Taoist Master Yuxu’s senior brother, Taoist Master Yuming, to pursue and kill Mo Yuyan.
Unfortunately, she was too elusive, and he couldn’t catch up with her.
Fearing another failure, he requested to send a different Grandmaster this time.
“Your Majesty, have no worries!”
The Taoist Yuxu chuckled: “After suffering a great loss last time, my senior brother went back and cultivated an exceptional movement skill. He can now travel thousands of li in a day. She definitely won’t escape easily this time!”
“That’s great!” The Great Luo Emperor was overjoyed.……
Thus, three days later, Taoist Yuming once again intercepted Mo Yuyan’s path.
“Demoness, I will not let you escape this time!”
“Is that so?”
Mo Yuyan calmly flicked the fresh blood off her sword, sheathed it, and said, “That’s perfect! I was just looking to use a Taoist Master’s skills to sharpen my sword!”
“How presumptuous and overconfident!” The old Taoist Master snorted disdainfully.
Thinking she could use a Grandmaster to practice her swordsmanship?
She clearly didn’t know her own limits.
“Enough talk, take my sword and you’ll know if I’m capable!”
Mo Yuyan shouted lowly: “Heaven-Slaying Sword Draw Technique!”
With a clang, a crescent-like sword light flew out from Mo Yuyan’s scabbard in an instant.
It spanned seventy to eighty zhang and struck right in front of the old Taoist.
The old Taoist was shocked; the power of this Sword Qi was comparable to that of a Grandmaster!
Caught off guard, he could only raise his hand to meet it.
A Grandmaster is indeed a Grandmaster. Even if he was unprepared, he still blocked the strike.
However, his Taoist robe was torn to shreds with a loud rip, leaving him looking like a beggar.
And his hand was cut by the Sword Qi, dripping with blood.
Looking at his tattered Taoist robe and the wound on his hand, his murderous intent surged.
“In just two months, your martial arts have improved greatly, pushing the limits of a Grandmaster! It seems I really cannot let you live!”
“As if you were holding back before!”
Mo Yuyan snorted: “Take another sword strike from me!”
As soon as her words fell, the sword light slashed out once more!
The old Taoist dared not be careless and deployed the Taoist Sect’s ultimate divine skill.
“Demoness, meet your end!”
And so, a fierce battle erupted between them.
“Boom boom…”
Dust flew, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and the heavens and earth changed color.
In the blink of an eye, over a dozen moves had passed.
The old Taoist grew more and more alarmed as he fought. The strength of the Demoness before him far exceeded his imagination.
The last time he saw her, she was just an ordinary Imperial Qi powerhouse. Although she had one or two unique skills, she could only flee upon seeing him, not daring to engage in a direct fight.
But now, she had cultivated to the peak of Imperial Qi.
Her divine skills were more abundant than before, running smoothly and with lethal power almost on par with a half-step Grandmaster.
The most critical thing was that the opponent had somehow found a divine sword.
This sword was so sharp that it could easily break through his defenses, forcing him to avoid many moves instead of confronting them head-on.
Mo Yuyan, however, became more and more excited as the battle went on.
In the past, she could only run from a Grandmaster, but now she was able to fight on equal footing!
A thought couldn’t help but rise in her heart.
It seemed that being a Grandmaster wasn’t so impressive after all.
It seemed that even a Grandmaster wasn’t unbeatable!
At this moment, Mo Yuyan finally understood why that mysterious senior had sent her to train with the Grandmaster.
It wasn’t just to improve her combat skills but also to strengthen her beliefs and build confidence!
Although I can’t beat you now, I will definitely be able to destroy you in the future!
If you can become a Grandmaster, so can I!
However, Mo Yuyan started feeling that she couldn’t keep up after about 20 rounds.
After all, wielding a divine weapon consumed too much energy, and her cultivation level wasn’t high enough.
So, she loudly taunted, “You damn Taoist, you can’t even defeat an Innate like me. Your title of Grandmaster seems quite inflated!”
The old Taoist was both ashamed and angry, “Demoness, don’t spout nonsense! If it weren’t for your reliance on your weapon, how could I not defeat you? Put down your weapon if you dare, and let’s have a fair fight!”
“Weapons are also a part of one’s strength! Aren’t you also bullying me with your higher cultivation? Don’t use your Grandmaster strength if you dare, and fight me for 300 rounds!”
The old Taoist was exasperated, “You…you are being unreasonable, I won’t argue with you!”
Mo Yuyan shouted, “You damn Taoist, prepare yourself! I’m about to use my ultimate move! This is the earth-shattering sword technique I’ve just learned, the ‘Sword that Reigns Supreme Under the Heavens, Earth, Across the Eight Desolations and Six Directions’! With this sword, we shall determine both superior and the inferior, as well as life and death!”
The old Taoist was startled, sensing the extraordinary nature of this sword technique!
He didn’t dare to be careless and immediately retreated several zhang to prepare for the blow.
However, at that moment, Mo Yuyan suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The old Taoist: “…”
A short while later, the old Taoist gave chase.
“Stop running away!”
Mo Yuyan laughed while running, “Only a fool wouldn’t run when they can’t win!”
“You won’t escape this time!”
The old Taoist shouted as he pursued, “I have mastered the Taoist Sect’s top movement technique, and traveling a thousand li in a day is nothing to me! You can’t escape my grasp!”
“Hmph! Let’s see the truth in action!” Mo Yuyan increased her speed even more.
It must be said that the old Taoist Master who had practiced the movement technique had made significant progress. Previously, he would lose track of her after chasing her for three to four hundred li.
But now it was different; it took him over 600 li to lose track of her.
Having successfully escaped, Mo Yuyan started employing a hit-and-run strategy.
After killing an official in one city, she randomly moved to another city hundreds of li away to continue her slaughter, once again making a fool of the Taoist.
As the killings increased, the Great Luo dynasty lost control over the local regions, and chaos reemerged.
Inside the imperial palace, the Great Luo Emperor was furious but helpless.
