Chapter 464: Martial Sage Kong, Spare My Life! (2)

“It’s indeed not easy.” The long-haired woman nodded in understanding. “I’ve been cultivating the World’s End Intent for almost 90 years, but I haven’t achieved near perfection. I don’t know when I’ll be able to achieve my goal. Sigh.”

“Sister Tao, don’t worry. Given your aptitude, you’ll be able to achieve it in another ten years at most,” comforted the middle-aged man.

“I hope it’s as Brother Ji said.” Tao Wanru smiled wryly.

Tao Wanru, the Crescent Island representative of the World’s End Court, one of the four major overseas factions.

Transcendent-grade, seventh class of the Void Soul realm.

As for the middle-aged man, his name was Ji Haisheng. He was the Crescent Island representative of the Xiaoyao Palace, one of the four major overseas factions. He was also in the Transcendent-grade and was in the ninth class of the Void Soul realm.

The four major overseas factions were the Xiaoyao Palace, the World’s End Court, the Asura Palace, and the Xuanyin Sect.

Among them, Xiaoyao Palace was the furthest from land and was located in the high seas.

The World’s End Court was in the South Sea, and the Asura Palace was in the north of the North Sea.

The Xuanyin Sect was located between the Eastern Sea and the high seas.

Due to the special location of Crescent Island, expatriates of the Xiaoyao Palace and the World’s End Court were stationed on the island all year round so that they could receive information from the land in time.

Of course, Ji Haisheng and Tao Wanru were not needed for real work.

Their subordinates would handle it.

Ji Haisheng and Tao Wanru were mostly out traveling and would not stay on the island for long periods.

After all, martial artists in the Transcendent-grade were not a dime a dozen.

Be it the Xiaoyao Palace or the World’s End Court, they had a limited number of Transcendent-grade experts.

This time, Ji Haisheng and Tao Wanru had gathered at the seaside villa because they knew about the Xuanyin Sect’s scheme.

A month ago, the two of them had remained on Crescent Island to wait for news.

Until today, when news of the Yu Nation’s chaos was sent back.

…

After a moment of silence, Tao Wanru asked, “Two days ago, I think I sensed Tu Zhenglie arriving on Crescent Island. Brother Ji, did you notice anything?”

“He’s here.”

Ji Haisheng chuckled. “Tu Zhenglie isn’t the only one here. Old Ghost Li from the Asura Palace is also here. However, the former is to guard Tu Anbang’s physical body, while the latter is to watch for an opportunity.”

“Watch for an opportunity?” Tao Wanru was puzzled. “It’s understandable that Tu Zhenglie is guarding Tu Anbang’s physical body. What do you mean by Old Ghost Li is watching for an opportunity?”

Suddenly, Tao Wanru thought of something. Without waiting for Ji Haisheng to speak, she asked in surprise, “Wait, is Old Ghost Li trying to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada?”

“Haha, you guessed right!”

Ji Haisheng laughed out loud. “Given my understanding of Old Ghost Li, that’s his plan! If Tu Anbang wins in the Yu Nation and kills Kong Xuan, Old Ghost Li will take action. He will kill Tu Anbang’s physical body here, then go to the Yu Nation and destroy his Essence Soul. He will replace Tu Anbang and become the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage of the Yu Nation!”

“These people…” Tao Wanru shook her head.” I really don’t know what to say. Is being the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage of the Yu Nation that good? ”

“Well, half and half.” Ji Haisheng’s eyes flickered. “For Transcendent-grade martial artists like us who have sects, it’s not bad. Those independent martial artists or those…”

“Old Ghost Li!!!”

An angry shout suddenly came from the sky outside the window.

Boom!

The sound of space exploding and shattering followed closely after.

An invisible but terrifying pressure swept through the entire island and enveloped everyone’s hearts.

On Crescent Island, other than Ji Haisheng and Tao Wanru, everyone else was sprawled on the ground, still in shock and terrified.

Swoosh!

Whoosh!

Ji Haisheng, who was talking, exchanged glances with Tao Wanru. In a flash, they rushed out of the manor and into the air, looking towards the west of Crescent Island.

In their vision, two figures were fighting and colliding at an extremely fast speed, breaking space and crushing mountains.

Below the two figures, a figure was quickly shuttling through the mountains, fleeing in a sorry state.

That’s right, in a sorry state!

“Is that Tu Anbang?”

Tao Wanru looked surprised and frowned. “Why is Tu Anbang’s physical body running around? Those two in the sky are Tu Zhenglie and Old Ghost Li, right? Why are they fighting… Wait, is Old Ghost Li attacking Tu Anbang’s physical body?”

Tao Wanru’s mouth fell open.

“You didn’t see wrongly. Old Ghost Li is chasing after Tu Anbang’s physical body, and Tu Zhenglie is stopping him.”

Ji Haisheng’s eyes lit up.

As he spoke, his body flickered with a glow. His hair was disheveled and scattered.

However, Ji Haisheng didn’t care. Instead, he said excitedly, “Gone, Tu Anbang’s Essence Soul is gone!”

“What?” Tao Wanru was shocked. “What did you say, Brother Ji? Tu Anbang’s Essence Soul is gone? Is it dead? Was it killed by the Yu Nation’s Kong Xuan?”

“Most likely!”

Ji Haisheng took a deep breath and said seriously, “I didn’t expect this, I really didn’t expect this. Tu Anbang actually failed. The Essence Soul of Tu Anbang, who was at least in the fifth class of Soul Fixation, actually died at the hands of the Yu Nation’s Kong Xuan!”

“Well…” Tao Wanru gaped, not knowing what to say.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud bangs continued to sound from the west of Crescent Island.

In the sky, pieces of space shattered and repaired in the battle between two Transcendent-grade experts.

The mountains on the ground collapsed one after another under the impact of the energy fluctuations.

Fortunately, the western side of Crescent Island was filled with strange rocks and peaks. There were few residences.

Otherwise, this exchange alone would have killed everyone.

Even so, Tu Anbang’s physical body kept moving towards the center of the island, guiding the battle in the air towards the center.

Everywhere it passed, the ground cracked, rivers severed, and energies wreaked havoc.

“No, we can’t let them come to the center of the island.”

Tao Wanru frowned and shouted when she saw Tu Anbang’s physical body.

Tu Anbang’s physical body was being pursued by Old Ghost Li. He wanted to run into the gathering point and lure Ji Haisheng and Tao Wanru to attack and defeat Old Ghost Li.

This was because Crescent Island was a jointly built island by the four major factions.

A long time ago, the Xiaoyao Palace, the World’s End Court, and the Asura Palace had set a rule that no killing was allowed on the island.

Be it ordinary people, martial artists, or experts in the top ranks, they were not allowed to fight.

Not to mention those in the Transcendent-grade.

Old Ghost Li was chasing after Tu Anbang’s physical body but he was not actually exerting much strength.

Otherwise, given the destructive power of the Transcendent-grade, if he were to attack with his full strength, he would have long sunk Crescent Island, completely collapsing it into countless pieces.

Ji Haisheng and Tao Wanru were more than happy to watch the show as Tu Anbang’s physical body escaped.

However, if this old fellow wanted to enter the center area, the gathering point, it would be detestable.

“I’ll stop them!”

As Tao Wanru spoke, her figure flashed and she was about to go over.

“Wait!”

Ji Haisheng’s expression changed drastically. He looked at the northern sky. “There’s a situation over there! A Transcendent-grade expert is crossing space!”

“Who?” Tao Wanru was stunned. “Who would come at this time…”

Boom!

A dull explosion sounded like thunder from the nine heavens. The terrifying sound reverberated through the entire island.

As the space north of Crescent Island distorted, a figure in hideous battle armor suddenly walked out.

“Tu Anbang?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul stepped in the air and scanned the sky and ground with its Thunder Dragon vision. In a few moments, it locked onto Tu Anbang’s physical body and growled.

“Found you!”

Swoosh!

In a flash, it crossed space and arrived above Tu Anbang’s physical body.

With a grab, it released its soul power and condensed it into a claw imprint that grabbed Tu Anbang’s physical body in its palm.

“Stop!”

In the air, Tu Zhenglie shouted in shock, “No! Martial Sage Kong, show mercy! We are willing to compensate you. As long as you state it, no matter what it is, the Xuanyin Sect will definitely offer it to you with both hands. I hope Martial Sage Kong can show mercy and spare us this time!”

“Yes, yes. Martial Sage Kong, please… please spare us.”

Tu Anbang, whose face was flushed red, held his breath and shouted in grief and indignation, “I was wrong, I was wrong, Martial Sage Kong, please spare my life. I was really wrong. Martial Sage Kong, please spare my life!”

Although his voice was soft, who were Ji Haisheng, Tao Wanru, and Old Ghost Li?

Their Transcendent-grade allowed them to listen to the entire island.

As such, when they heard Tu Anbang’s humble and fearful pleas for mercy, Ji Haisheng and Tao Wanru were both shocked and in disbelief.

Old Ghost Li’s eyes, which were shrouded in darkness, also flashed rapidly.

Martial Sage Kong?

Tu Zhenglie and Tu Anbang both addressed him as “Martial Sage Kong”?

Together with the familiar hideous battle armor, this was none other than the Yu Nation’s Martial Sage, Kong Xuan!
