Chapter 304: Chapter 162: Heavenly Destiny Luo Book
His complexion ashen, Zhang Xuan felt nauseous.
If a beautiful woman had shouted like that, he would have enjoyed it, but facing a man nearly two meters tall, burly with a bushy chest, and looking like Lu Zhishen…
He felt like dying, alright?
“Can’t use this next time…” Zhang Xuan wanted to cry.
Damn it, if he had known it would be like this, he would’ve burned the New World and killed him outright, so he wouldn’t have to suffer such humiliation.
“Die!”
Despite feeling disgusted, he knew this was the best chance to kill his opponent, so he immediately withdrew the Fox Charm Destiny, and his sword flashed coldly.
Puch!
Freed from the influence of Fox Charm Destiny, Mo Baiye quickly tried to dodge but was too late and was stabbed in the left arm. Blood flowed, spilling on the ground.
“What is this demon art?”
Retreating hastily, Mo Baiye broke out in a cold sweat.
Even if the opponent’s sword had penetrated his throat, he wouldn’t have been so scared… For some reason, he had just found Zhang Xuan so attractive he hoped something would happen between them… He even thought of names for their children!
His eyes were filled with nothing but desire…
That was truly terrifying!
He wasn’t like those disciples who either “couldn’t get it up” or were “impotent,” with different tastes from ordinary people… He was a man of iron!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
“Good thing, the charm wasn’t successful…”
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Xuan also sighed in relief.
Thank goodness it hadn’t worked. Otherwise, if he had come running over with that face, Zhang Xuan really wouldn’t have known what to do.
“Let’s attack together!”
Although this guy hadn’t been charmed, the other elders had already fallen, each looking at Zhang Xuan with admiration. If they had any doubts about him before, they were now utterly convinced.
“Alright!”
With a shout, three elders surrounded him with fighting spirit. Even the severely injured Fu Qinghong crawled over, wanting to lend a hand for fear that Zhang Xuan would disdain her…
“You should stay there…”
Knowing that if this guy came over, he would only cause chaos, Zhang Xuan waved his hand dismissively and attacked Mo Baiye again, simultaneously shouting, “Elder Qinghan, attack his left hand with the skill Falling Wild Geese Autumn Wind; Elder Qingxue, attack his right with the skill Great River Sunset…”
In the blink of an eye, he not only arranged their positions but also called out all the skills they were supposed to use.
Fu Qinghan, Fu Qingxue, and the others, who had thought that even following his orders, it would be a tough fight to defeat the leader of the Mo Blade Sect, were surprised to find that after just two moves, his techniques were in disarray and his strength wasn’t as formidable.
“Has Zhang Xuan discovered the flaws and defects in his techniques?”
The others were too caught up in the fight to notice, but Fu Qinghong, watching from the sidelines, immediately understood.
The positions and skills Zhang Xuan instructed not only allowed them to predict Mo Baiye’s moves but also targeted the loopholes in his technique. Every motion was perfectly counteracted. Even though Mo Baiye was extremely powerful, he was now being pressured uncomfortably.
“If I had known this earlier, I should’ve listened to him…”
Fu Qinghong’s face was red with embarrassment.
Before, she thought Zhang Xuan was too young and stubbornly refused to listen. She ended up severely injured and nearly led them to a complete defeat. If they had listened, Mo Baiye would have been killed long ago and they wouldn’t have had to struggle as they were now.
“You…”
Her adoring eyes welled up with tears, while across from her, Mo Baiye was on the verge of going insane.
The Mo Blade is a long weapon that requires a certain distance to exhibit its maximum power. Currently, under the guidance of Zhang Xuan, Fu Qinghan and the other two elders stuck to him like a bone-deep poison, never more than a meter away, rendering all his ultimate moves ineffective. The more he fought, the more uncomfortable he felt.
At this moment, he realized that their previous statement about capturing him alive was not an empty threat!
Three elders with lower cultivation than his had managed to beat him to this state. If only Fu Qinghong hadn’t acted on his own initiative… He might have truly been captured!
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
His heart was in turmoil, wanting to dodge but failing to escape. A series of cold glints struck his chest, thigh, shoulder, and even his buttocks, each hit drawing fresh blood.
Fortunately, the wounds weren’t deep; otherwise, he would have been waiting for death.
“Zhang Xuan, I indeed underestimated you. But do you really think you can kill me? In your dreams…”
Realizing that continuing the fight could indeed lead to his death, Mo Baiye uttered a cold shout. With a flick of his wrist, he revealed a jade token in his palm, which he lightly crushed and threw towards Fu Qinghan and the others.
Whirl! Whirl! Whirl!
The jade token suddenly exploded, countless saber glints scattering in every direction, like flowers scattered by celestial maidens.
“Retreat quickly…”
Zhang Xuan’s expression changed, he stepped forward, and his sword continuously flickered, transforming into pearls of light amidst the dark night.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sound of rain pounding on a copper gong filled the air. His sword blocked all the saber glints, and Fu Qinghan and the others barely escaped disaster.
At that moment, Mo Baiye took the opportunity to leap out of the fray, putting more than thirty meters between himself and the rest.
“This is the ‘Heavenly Destiny Luo Book.’ You’ve actually forged this thing…” Fu Qinghong couldn’t help but cry out.
“Heavenly Destiny Luo Book?” Zhang Xuan echoed with a hint of confusion.
This was the first time he had heard this name.
Seeing his confusion, Fu Qinghong explained: “The Heavenly Destiny Luo Book is a special container into which a part of one’s Heavenly Destiny Power is locked. Once in danger, it can be released to save oneself from death or fend off peril…”
Zhang Xuan nodded.
It was somewhat similar to scrolls in novels. The Master Teacher Continent also possessed similar items.
However, this Heavenly Destiny Luo Book could not only unleash attacks but also act as a decoy to draw in the power of Heavenly Destiny.
If you were to compare the power of Heavenly Destiny to a guided missile from his previous life, then the Heavenly Destiny Luo Book would be akin to the flares released by a combat jet.
“It’s extremely difficult to refine this thing… You need to capture a portion of Heavenly Destiny to succeed, and observing his Heavenly Destiny, it seems very intact, without a single flaw…”
Fu Qinghong said this with a grim expression: “If I’m not mistaken, he must have secretly killed his disciples, extracting their Heavenly Destiny to craft it…”
“Killed his disciples?” Zhang Xuan’s pupils shrank.
“Yes, since the Heavenly Destiny Luo Book contains the Power of Destiny, it naturally requires human lives to be fulfilled. If he were to draw from his own destiny, it would result in an incomplete fate, making it nearly impossible to advance to the fourth level of Mo Blade cultivation later on. To prevent troubles for himself, he could only extract from his students…”
Fu Qinghong continued: “This is also why some powerful clans and powerful forces cultivate students…”
Zhang Xuan’s face was ashen.
He now thoroughly understood why Empyrean Kong Shi was exposed so soon after arriving in this world.
He taught without discrimination and imparted knowledge earnestly, never treating students as tools. This contrasted sharply with the master-disciple relationships of this world, making him a true anomaly. It was strange that he hadn’t been discovered earlier!
