This whole thing reeked of a trap!

It was a scheme designed to kill Kou Chongxue… Or perhaps, it would be better to call it a scheme that was aiming to annihilate one of Kou Chongxue’s avatars!

“It’s nothing much to kill an ordinary avatar. However, you’re Kou Chongxue! It won’t be easy for us to kill you anyway.” One of the 3 experts who had surrounded Kou Chongxue stated frankly, “However, killing any one of your avatars will weaken you. It’s definitely worth it.” 

“Brother Xuan Lu, there’s no need to waste your breath on him.” The other Martial Dipper Realm expert sneered, “Kou Chongxue, back then, you destroyed Brother Yun Lu’s avatar. It’s time for you to pay the price!” 

Since Yun Lu appeared earlier to distract Ji Wenlong and Xuan Lu explained their intentions, it wouldn’t come as a surprise that the last person who spoke was Hua Lu. She lost really badly when Kou Chongxue broke into the White Deer Paradise in the past.

The 3 Deers of the Ji Continent had gathered together, and with their lineup, they were clearly seeking revenge for what Kou Chongxue did. 

Glancing at Xuan Lu who wore a solemn and cold expression before turning to Hua Lu with a look of rage on her face, Kou Chongxue didn’t think too much of it. He then looked at Feng Yezi who seemed a little anxious but helpless before chuckling in response, “Hehe, do you really think that you lot are enough to do anything to me?” 

Hua Lu snorted derisively, “Stop acting like you’re in control of everything. You’ll know whether or not we’re enough to take you on once we fight!” 

She didn’t wait for him to respond. A jade seal appeared in her left palm and it enlarged into the size of a small hill above her head. It came slamming down without regard for who was in the area.

With Hua Lu’s attack signaling the start of their assault, Xuan Lu pulled out a staff with a deer’s head as its handle. Feng Yezi didn’t remain idle as his signature pouch appeared in his hand.

Not a trace of fear could be seen on Kou Chongxue’s face as he swept his gaze across the 3 of them once again. He broke out in laughter, “Alright. Since everyone here is so interested in fighting me, I won’t be a spoilt sport. I’ll entertain you guys a little.” 

Hua Lu didn’t seem satisfied with her attack earlier. She took off the golden hairpin in her hair and tore through the void in front of her to stab directly at Kou Chongxue’s eyes.

“Argh!” A miserable cry rang through the sky and Hua Lu’s golden hairpin trembled violently in the air.

Xuan Lu raised his head and peered through the distorted space that was caused by the clash of the aura of the 4 Martial Dipper Realm experts. He discovered Yun Lu not too far away with scary wounds covering half his body as he tried to escape from the relentless Ji Wenlong.

“How did this…” 

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

Earlier, Yun Lu clearly had the upper hand. Especially so after his sneak attack. Xuan Lu could tell that Ji Wenlong was barely holding on, but now, the situation experienced an abrupt change.

The unexpected development caused Hua Lu and Xuan Lu to become slightly distracted. The second their mind wandered elsewhere, Kou Chongxue made his move.

“Huh? Who gave you guys the guts to be distracted when fighting with me?!” Kou Chongxue grunted once as his Hidden Frost Sword slashed outwards. He was no newbie Martial Dipper Realm expert who was seeking to break through the encirclement with that strike. Instead, his sword light emerged to block the combined attacks from the 3 of them.

Rather than dealing with their assault in the most optimal fashion, Kou Chongxue would rather use the chance to send them a message. 

“Preposterous!” 

Even someone as calm as Xuan Lu couldn’t help but cry out in anger when he realized Kou Chongxue’s intentions. His expression sank and he wanted to curse despite his deposition.

“Be careful!” The warning came from Yun Lu right after Xuan Lu yelled earlier.

Instinctively, Xuan Lu raised his staff to protect himself. After he was sure he wouldn’t be struck, he tried to look where Yun Lu went. To his utter shock, he noticed a blood-red bony claw ripping through the void and Ji Wenlong’s figure appearing behind Feng Yezi.

“Oh no!” With his expression changing drastically, Xuan Lu knew he wouldn’t be able to warn Feng Yezi in time. Instead, he directly smashed his staff straight down at Feng Yezi.

“Xuan Lu, what the hell are you doing?!” Feng Yezi had been forced by the 3 Deers of the Ji Continent to take part in their plot against Kou Chongxue. He wasn’t actually very willing to take part in the first place.

Feng Yezi was one of the rare wandering cultivators in the Azure Origin World and he didn’t join any strong factions either. When the fight broke out, he wasn’t just worried about Kou Chongxue. He had been keeping his guard up against Xuan Lu and Hua Lu.

Watching Xuan Lu’s staff fall on his location, he quickly gave up on attacking Kou Chongxue and he beat a hasty retreat.

“Dumbass, look out behind you!” Xuan Lu broke off a part of his concentration to save Feng Yezi and took on the risk of being caught by Kou Chongxue. Who would have thought that the fool would react so wildly and run straight into Ji Wenlong?

No matter how annoyed he was feeling, Xuan Lu knew that he couldn’t watch on as Feng Yezi was ambushed by Ji Wenlong. He had to help the man no matter what.

Kou Chongxue was no fool. The moment Xuan Lu went out of his way to save Feng Yezi, he increased the power of his blows. A huge portion of his strength was directed at Xuan Lu. Sword lights swarmed the old Martial Dipper Realm and it forced him to focus on protecting himself instead of others.

Luckily, Feng Yezi seemed to have sensed danger as a formless wall of wind appeared around him.

It was a shame the wind wall was like a piece of paper when stacked up against Ji Wenlong’s strange claw. It was torn apart easily like it wasn’t even there.

The bloodied claw didn’t stop and stabbed deep into Feng Yezi’s back.

“Ah!” This time, it was Feng Yezi who cried out in pain. He shot through the air in an attempt to escape.

One had to know that Ji Wenlong, Kou Chongxue, and the 3 Deers of the Ji Continent sent their avatars over to the Cloud Water Gorge. Even if they were destroyed, they would suffer a little setback in their combat abilities for a period of time. Their cultivations may be affected, but they could eventually recover from it. Feng Yezi was different. His true body was the one that came.

If he were to suffer any injuries or damage, it would be for real!

Ji Wenlong’s claw not only tore open his fate dipper protection, but it also left behind several nasty wounds on his back.

Even though he was injured, Feng Yezi wasn’t too concerned about the wounds on his back. He cared a little more about the strange claw Ji Wenlong was wielding.

Feng Yezi was probably at the bottom of the power pyramid in the Martial Dipper Realm, but he was a true blue Martial Dipper Realm at the end of the day.

His fate dipper materialized to form the wind wall around him and even though it wasn’t completely impenetrable, it shouldn’t be torn apart as easily as it was!

What the hell is that weapon in Ji Wenlong’s hand?!

When Feng Yezi retreated earlier, he tried making his way over to Xuan Lu and Hua Lu in an attempt to use them as protection.

With his sneak attack attempt earlier, Ji Wenlong managed to insert himself into the battle. The battle became a 2 on 3, but Ji Wenlong and Kou Chongxue both held a divine weapon.

That was right. The strange claw in Ji Wenlong’s hand was a divine weapon. That was how he managed to severely injure Yun Lu’s avatar before appearing behind Feng Yezi to launch a devastating attack that ripped apart his fate dipper protection.

The plot the 3 Deers of the Ji Continent had brewed to destroy Kou Chongxue’s avatar was destroyed in an instant. The situation changed and with their divine weapons, Ji Wenlong and Kou Chongxue quickly gained the upper hand.

A fight among Martial Dipper Realm experts happened too quickly. Shang Xia, who hadn’t gotten too far, could only see some blurry flashes when he tried to observe the battle. He might not be able to see much, but there was one thing he was certain of. Feng Yezi might not know what weapon Ji Wenlong was wielding, but Shang Xia immediately recognized it as the Lingxuan Space Shattering Claw that belonged to the four great races of the Liao Continent of the Azure Spiritual World!

Shang Xia was no stranger to the weapon. In fact, most disciples of the Tongyou Institution would be able to recognize it.

Even though Shang Xia didn’t know what kind of agreement the higher-ups of the institution made with the four great races of the Liao Continent and the Changbai Holy Land for them to lend Ji Wenlong the divine weapon, he could clearly tell that Ji Wenlong’s combat abilities had been greatly boosted by the weapon.

A strange thought appeared in Shang Xia’s mind all of a sudden. He turned to stare in a certain direction and saw a heavily injured Martial Dipper Realm avatar desperately trying to absorb heaven and earth qi to replenish his energy.

No longer in a rush to leave, Shang Xia decided on something else. He actively distanced himself from the Martial Dipper Realm who were fighting, but his sights were set on the origin dipper that nearly cost him his life.

Shang Xia’s actions might seem too reckless, but there was a trace of irritation biting at his heart. He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t annoyed by the fact that he was used as bait earlier.

However, the person who was messing with him was definitely a Martial Dipper Realm expert and he could only admit that he was unlucky to catch the eye of such an expert.

Now that all of them were busy fighting one another, Shang Xia felt that the only way to scratch the feeling in his heart was to actually do something about the origin dipper. Otherwise, he will never be able to let out his frustrations.

An origin dipper could allow a Martial Dipper Realm expert to experience a huge increase in strength. Despite the huge battle raging on, every Martial Dipper Realm expert there had been paying attention to the ball of origin dipper. Shang Xia was naturally unable to avoid being detected by them.

However, Kou Chongxue and Ji Wenlong were the ones with the upper hand at the moment. They reacted quickly and started to draw the battle away from Shang Xia.

Understanding that a chance like that wouldn’t come easily, Shang Xia pushed himself to his limit and flew straight for the origin dipper. When he approached the item, he released a ray of blade light from his Abyssal Blade powered by his Four Constellation Qi to seal it before tossing it into one of his spirit suppressing cases.

The way he stored it was something he had found out after obtaining two inheritance light balls earlier. The Abyssal Blade seemed to possess some sort of restraining power on those inheritance treasures from the Abyssal Sect. That was probably the reason why it was used to guard the secret region in the first place.

It was too bad he only discovered it after obtaining two of those inheritance light balls. As the target of the rest of the Martial Extermination Realm experts who were still fighting for the treasures up in the skies, Shang Xia didn’t have a chance to continue grabbing the light balls.

Whatever the case, Shang Xia wasn’t complaining about the treasures he had obtained. He seized the Abyssal Blade, the boulder that held it, an origin dipper, the Auspicious Cloud Cape, and a huge amount of world origin. It might not seem a lot when compared to the huge amount of inheritance light balls that emerged from the various peaks, but they were definitely of the highest quality among the treasures that the Abyssal Sect left behind.

After Shang Xia kept the origin dipper, Yun Lu, who had forcefully recovered a portion of his strength, rushed into the chaotic battle without regard for his life. “Brother Feng, I’ll help you out this time!” 

The words barely left his lips when he appeared before Feng Yezi to block Ji Wenlong’s claw.

A trace of joy appeared in Feng Yezi’s heart now that the pressure on him was gone. He turned and glared at Shang Xia before getting ready to rush over. “Junior, put that down and I’ll let you live!”
