Chapter 947: Chapter 496: Ambush on the Dao (Part 1)

Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, along with Li Mu, sped swiftly in the direction of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, soon noticing several waves of pursuers behind them.

"You scoundrels! Do you think our Profound Celestial Sword Sect is helpless? The Central State Spirit Realm is not a place for your impudence!"

Sword Master Feng swept his Divine Sense behind, sharp as a sword, immediately revealing several figures hidden in the clouds and mist. These figures came respectively from the Profound Cloud Sect, Netherworld Sect, Taiyi Sect, and Extreme Yin Sect. They piloted various Spiritual Ships, joining forces with evident premeditation.

"Sword Master Feng, I merely wish to meet with Master Li to discuss Artifact Refining matters. It has nothing to do with you, so why refuse us from afar?" Netherworld Sect Sect Master Gao Hong shouted loudly, his voice penetrating the clouds and echoing all around.

"Feng, are you accustomed to being overbearing? This Central State is not ruled by your Profound Celestial Sword Sect," Profound Cloud Sect Sect Master Xin Tiansen transmitted coldly.

"Indeed! Are you simply looking down on Taiyi Sect?" Extreme Yin Sect Sect Master Liu Zongwei glanced at Taiyi Sect Vice Sect Master Xu Wen, transmitting with a cynical Divine Thought.

Taiyi Sect Vice Sect Master Xu Wen’s eyes flashed with anger, looking at Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen, quickly clarifying with Divine Thought: "Brother Feng, Brother Chen, don’t misunderstand, I just wish to meet Master Li about some matters, and it has nothing to do with them."

Sword Master Feng didn’t bother responding to them. He hurriedly traveled with Li Mu by Sword Control; once they reached the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s territory, these small fry would naturally dare no more impudence.

Sword Master Chen followed closely, eyes sharp, constantly on guard, fingers pinching Sword Techniques, always ready to respond to any sudden attacks.

"Hmph, a group of clownish rogues thinks they can act wildly here?" Sword Master Feng laughed coldly in his heart, outwardly nonchalant, speeding up even further, cleverly weaving through the mountains with his familiarity of the terrain, leaving trails of after-images that made it difficult for the pursuers to lock onto them.

Li Mu, sandwiched in the middle, felt the tense atmosphere but appeared exceptionally calm.

Li Mu fully operated the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture, preparing to assist Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen at the critical moment; at the same time, he pondered how to resolve the current predicament.

"Gentlemen, what merits do I have that trouble you to come personally?" Li Mu transmitted his Divine Thought widely, clearly into everyone’s ears, then continued: "Respected elders, if you truly have doubts about Artifact Refining, why not wait until I safely return to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, and then invite me to exchange openly and honorably, wouldn’t that better reflect the Sect’s prestige?"

Upon hearing these words, several among the pursuers showed embarrassed expressions, having to admit that Li Mu’s words indeed hit their sore points. Their actions were indeed not honorable, even somewhat despicable.

However, the arrow was on the string and must be shot.

Li Mu’s Artifact Refining skills truly made them jealous, firstly not permitting him to continue staying at the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to prevent them from growing strong, secondly wishing to obtain Daoist Soldiers refined by Li Mu to aid their quest for Dao opportunities. If unable, they could only eliminate him to prevent future trouble.

"Hmph, enough nonsense! Today, you either come with me or don’t dream of returning alive to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect!"

Netherworld Sect Sect Master Gao Hong shouted angrily, taking the lead in attacking. His figure flickered, transforming into a black shadow, holding the Netherworld Ghost Banner, rushing at Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, and Li Mu.

Facing Gao Hong’s fierce assault, Sword Master Feng’s eyes sharpened, a cold smile rising at his lips.

"A defeated opponent dares to speak harshly before me!" Sword Master Feng growled lowly, Spiritual Power rushing like a river through his body; with a wave of his right hand, a dazzling sword light shot from his palm, directly targeting Gao Hong.

But this was just a decoy; the real killing move was yet to come.

Just as Gao Hong’s attention was drawn to the sword light, preparing to counter it, Sword Master Feng’s left hand silently reached into the Storage Ring, lightly brushing it, and a cyan Dao Sword—Cyan Kite, instantly appeared in his palm.

The Cyan Kite sword body shimmered with faint Cyan Radiance, seemingly rich with the Wind Dao Principle. The sword, in perfect sync with Sword Master Feng’s intentions, appeared silently, instantly transforming into a cyan Flowing Light, bypassing Gao Hong’s defenses and targeting his vital areas.

"What?" Gao Hong was shocked, never imagining Sword Master Feng secretly possessed such a terrifying move. He hurriedly mobilized the Netherworld Ghost Banner, attempting to resist the sudden strike, but the Cyan Kite Sword was extremely fast and the Sword Intent sharp, effortlessly piercing the Ghost Banner’s defenses, directly challenging Gao Hong’s critical points.

"Bang!" A loud explosion, as the Cyan Kite Dao Sword collided with Gao Hong’s Protective Spiritual Power, erupted in blinding light.

Gao Hong felt an indescribable force coming at him, forcing him to continuously retreat, his face pale as paper, obviously suffering not light injuries.

"Top-Grade Dao Sword, its power truly extraordinary!" Gao Hong strained to suppress the tumultuous qi and blood within, gritting his teeth.

At this moment, Gao Hong’s eyes were filled with malice and rage, yet more with shock and apprehension; he hadn’t expected Sword Master Feng to have refined the Tier Seven Dao Sword to such an extent, a single strike easily breaking his move.

"Why are you all standing idly? This opportunity is rare; if you let them escape, you’ll have no good consequences!" Gao Hong’s voice, tinged with urgency and unwillingness, echoed through the chaotic air, trying to incite the other sects to act.

Upon hearing this, the faces of other sect leaders subtly changed, knowing once Sword Master Feng and the others escaped back to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, attempting to touch Li Mu again would be like climbing into the sky.

"Gentlemen, if not now, then when!" Gao Hong shouted angrily.
