How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

This voice exploded.

It merely signified that Lin Xiaosu had arrived!

The expressions of several generals changed simultaneously: "The nuclear bomb is ready, how did he get in at this time?"

Blood Trace's face was a mix of emotions: "We can only give him some time then!"

"Commander, Wing Blade has already detected the situation with the Mad Blade Sect. There are at least three thousand people gathered there, and the attack order will be issued soon. Right now is the best window for attack."

"Indeed!" another general replied, "On the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting. We can't wait..."

Blood Trace suddenly raised his hand: "I said, wait!"

The whole scene fell silent...

From above the Wing Blade, the Mad Taoist looked back at the battleship: "Kid, we might catch some shells."

"Blood Trace is probably enduring great pressure, at most he can only give us one more hour. Our action needs to be swift and decisive!"

"Taking down a sect in an hour? Kid, you're setting the difficulty high."

"How about I pay you more?"

The Mad Taoist let out a long sigh: "You brat, always talking about money. Fine, the task fee can't be increased, but other aspects can be. From now on, anything involving your personal matters, I'll ask for it from you! After all, only you can afford this... Over there, full speed!"

His finger pointed directly to the highest peak.

Wing Blade's speed suddenly increased, as swift as a shooting star, heading straight for the peak.

Lin Xiaosu activated his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye and immediately saw the basic situation of this sect.

On the outer perimeter, countless Qi Jiao.

In the middle layer, countless Li Wan.

On the inner side, just as he expected, a large batch of strange creatures appeared, body like dragons, possessing four blood-colored fleshy wings, heads resembling Li Wan, and limbs like Qi Jiao.

These were the common mounts in the Ancient Great World, the four-winged blood flood dragons, capable of traversing both heaven and earth, flying thousands of miles without tiring.

They could battle in the air, on land, and in water.

The standard sea, land, and air three-type war beast.

Further inside was the sect itself.

Pavilions and towers covered dozens of mountain tops, and in the valleys below, even armies gathered, numbering in the tens of thousands.

On the plaza, there were also hundreds of people, each appearing extraordinary.

On a high platform stood dozens who looked like elders wearing red robes.

Suddenly, one of the elders sharply raised his hand, and a giant claw covered the sky in front, a structure both form and spirit, unmistakably Enlightenment God Realm.

An Enlightenment God Realm giant made a personal move to stop the Wing Blade, solely because its speed had reached full mode.

At such speed, it crossed thousands of miles in a flash.

Ordinary Enlightenment Realm cultivators couldn't react at all.

But this red-robed elder reacted and sealed the path of the Wing Blade with this catch.

Lin Xiaosu was suddenly shocked.

The Mad Taoist beside him swished his sleeve: "Ignore him!"

Wing Blade shot straight through.

With a soft pop, it was like tearing apart old cowhide, splitting the Enlightenment God's giant claw in two...

Everyone on the high platform simultaneously gasped...

Lin Xiaosu was also taken aback: "Taoist, you only have one more chance to act."

"Nonsense! You're cursing me!" The Mad Taoist was angry: "This poor Taoist didn't make a move!"

Does that not count as making a move?

Strictly speaking, he didn't even raise his hand, so it shouldn't count as making a move.

The Mad Taoist lifted his gaze: "Heavenly Dao witness, this poor Taoist will not make a move today, take the blow!"

Boom!

Throughout the sky, there were seven or eight giant palms.

Wing Blade burst through, the Mad Taoist's hair flying high, simultaneously dispersing the seven or eight giant palms.

Behind the giant palms, a sword came from the west, like a heavenly sword in the air.

However, the Mad Taoist placed his hand behind his back, looked up high, and the heavenly sword seemed to hit an invisible air wall, suddenly nullified.

Wing Blade had reached the highest mountain peak!

At the top of the highest peak, in a tiny room, an old man stood up suddenly!

A single strike down!

With this strike...

The clouds in the sky vanished instantly, completely becoming the backdrop for this saber.

The light of the blade was like a practice, with the power to break the heavens.

Under the blade, Lin Xiaosu's entire body tensed.

Such a blade, how could it be something he had ever seen? He couldn't even have imagined it.

In fantasy dramas, even if such an imposing manner could be portrayed, it wouldn't capture the immersive, blood-congealing terror, nothing else in sight but the imposing force of a heaven-splitting saber.

Such a blade, could the Mad Taoist still block it?

Pfft!

The Mad Taoist's air wall was split in two!

Blade light broke through the wall, the Mad Taoist soared into the air!

Swoosh!

Blood splattered, the Mad Taoist's arm was cut off.

The whole world seemed completely immobilized.

Including the rolling clouds, the countless experts on the plaza, including Lin Xiaosu, and the supersonic flying Wing Blade at his feet.

Lin Xiaosu gazed blankly at the one-armed Mad Taoist.

The Mad Taoist also looked quietly at him, then suddenly smiled: "Kid, now you know why I asked you to take a picture? Because that's me with both arms."

On the high peak!

Someone suddenly stepped out!

This step was on the void below the cliff, but as the foot came down, a phantom great sword appeared in the void.

The great sword served as a platform, measured by the foot.

The starry sky is endless, with the heavens above.

This is an old man, yet his entire body is explosively muscular, like a super War God that has emerged from the Ancient Wilderness.

Every part of him exudes a murderous intent.

"Old Taoist, daring to intrude on my Mad Blade's territory, do you know this is the path to death?" The old man's voice fell, and the illusory long blade under his feet suddenly extended infinitely, the blade's gleam reaching Mad Taoist's throat.

Stopped abruptly.

The cold gleam of the blade cast a pale hue on Mad Taoist's face.

Of course, this might also be because his right arm was just severed, and blood still flows down.

Mad Taoist laughed, "Of course I know this is the path to death, what I seek is originally a wound!"

Mad Blade's thick eyebrows furrowed, "Why?"

He also noticed the peculiarity of Mad Taoist.

This person's cultivation is unfathomable. While intruding on Sect Master Peak, no one in the entire sect could stop him, only himself could act.

With such cultivation, theoretically, a strike not even with his full power shouldn't have succeeded in one move, yet it did.

This series of illogical aspects made Mad Blade unsure of what medicine this man was selling in his gourd.

"Because only by personally receiving one slash from you can I activate the Cause and Effect Plate, forming the 'Cause and Effect Hundred Years Lock'."

"Cause and Effect Hundred Years Lock?" Mad Blade trembled all over, the shadow of the long blade under his feet mottled, clearly, his heart was shaken.

The faces of the elders below also changed.

"Great Elder, what is the Cause and Effect Hundred Years Lock?"

In the center of the high platform, a Purple clothed Elder's face was deathly pale, "The Law of Cause and Effect, cause and effect..."

Although not answering directly, everyone realized this was an extremely terrifying practical method of the law.

The Law of Cause and Effect itself is one of the most mysterious among the Heavenly Tao Seven Techniques.

All cultivators know the mysteries of cause and effect.

However, very few know how it is applied.

Because cause and effect, in the general sense, is not a killing technique.

It is only a Heavenly Observation Technique.

Mad Taoist laughed heartily, "Cause and Effect Hundred Years Lock, few know of it. Allow me to tell you truthfully, related to this Hundred Years Lock, within a hundred years, you and I are one: my injury is your injury, my death is your death!"

Mad Blade's gaze slowly lifted, "I only believe in the Tao of the Blade, never in cause and effect!"

"Don't believe?" Mad Taoist suddenly raised his hand, a crimson spear shadow flashed from his eye, hiss!

His left pinky finger flew into the air for no reason.

With this flight, Mad Blade's left pinky finger also suddenly flew up.

The blood flowed long from Mad Taoist's finger.

The blood flowed long from Mad Blade's left hand too.

His face finally truly changed.

People of their cultivation, losing a finger is nothing at all. With True Yuan gathering, a severed finger regenerates in an instant.

However, at this moment, Mad Blade couldn't repair it.

No cultivation technique could repair it, not even basic bleeding could be stopped.

"Do you believe now? Want to try another finger?" Fresh blood speckled the new clothes on Mad Taoist's body.

But on his face, there was a strange madness...

The spear shadow swirled in his eyes, his index finger slowly lifted.

The index finger is called the sword finger, what does that mean?

Holding a blade or sword relies on it.

Once this finger is severed, Mad Blade, the Sword Tao Tyrant renowned for his blade, both hands reaching pinnacle heights, would never hold a blade in his left hand again.

Mad Blade raised his hand abruptly, "State your intentions!"

"It's great to talk!" Mad Taoist flicked his hand, stopping the bleeding of the severed finger.

Mad Blade's severed finger's bleeding inexplicably stopped as well.

The entire audience was dumbfounded.

"Speak!" Mad Blade's voice was icy.

Mad Taoist ran his blood-stained hand through his hair gently, "The only thing I seek is for your Mad Blade Sect to guard this gate, allowing no one from Desolate Ancient Realm to cross, and for yourselves not to harm anyone from Daxia behind you!"

"Impossible! Impossible!" A person on the high platform shouted, "Our sect has waited for this moment for a thousand years. How could we abandon it for one person?"

"Exactly, with the passage open, attacking and capturing new domains, who does not desire this under heaven? The gate is open, asking our sect to stand idly by, even rebel and become enemies with the Ancient Wilderness, is absolutely impossible!" Another elder said.

"Outsiders have killed our Qi Jiao and Li Wan by tens of thousands, allowing them to go free, wouldn't this let them despise our Mad Blade Sect?"

In an instant, the platform fully erupted.

In an instant, ten thousand people roared in unison below.

Mad Blade's face was iron-grey...

Who doesn't know that with the passage open, they can invade the Otherworld, seize the best opportunity, complete the conquest, claim land as king, and take the lead?

Who doesn't know that protecting the Dharma for the Land of the End of Dharma from the outside, opposing the Ancient Wilderness, is a dead-end?

However, the one under the Hundred Years Cause and Effect Lock is me!

Not you!

You are bold and proud, what about me?

Mad Taoist just had to add fuel to the fire, "It seems the people of Mad Blade Sect very much hope their sect master dies! That's fine, little Su..."

The entire audience fell silent as he prepared to speak...

Lin Xiaosu bowed slightly, "Taoist!"

Mad Taoist sighed, "It seems meeting Widow Feng in this life is impossible. After I die, take my body to be buried with hers."

"I will obey the Taoist's last wish!" Lin Xiaosu replied with a sorrowful expression, bowing deeply.

"Time beyond the worldly, one receives naturally; who in the mortal world can discern life or death? A thousand years of withering and flourishing, passing through the eye like a dream! Time, fate, heaven, Tao..." His hand lifted lightly, nails like a knife, cutting toward his own throat...

"Stop!" Mad Blade shouted deafeningly.

Earth-shaking!

Mad Taoist's hand halted.

The entire audience raised their heads uniformly, staring at their sect master.
