Chapter 1419 - 1418: Sacrifice Before Victory

"Shameless scoundrel, kill..."

Ironheart Master suddenly drew her treasured sword and slashed it down relentlessly.

"Woo..."

The light of the sword was like lightning; the sword qi like snow.

Ice-cold and seductive, killing intent surged.

The momentum was quite astonishing.

"Good timing."

Zhang Duoqing shouted strangely, drawing his treasured sword to engage Ironheart Master in combat.

"Clang clang clang..."

The sound was like striking iron, dense like raindrops.

The two twisted and turned, moving like ghosts and smoke, rising and leaping.

Making it difficult for people to see clearly.

They fought from the ground to the air, and from the air to the mountain.

Indeed, it was hard to distinguish who would prevail.

"Hahaha... Ironheart, I've finally caught up to you. You're no longer a match for me; today, you'll marry me. You might as well not practice the Supreme Forget-Love Art; it goes against human nature. Switch to cultivating the Passionate Divine Skill, and you'll surely make rapid progress." Zhang Duoqing shouted excitedly while fighting.

Having challenged for three thousand years, this was the first time he fought Ironheart Master evenly, even gaining a slight advantage.

How could he not be thrilled?

"Oh no, our Sect Leader seems to be on the losing side, what should we do?"

"It's really bad, it's really bad..."

Two gate-keeping nuns panicked.

They immediately began calling for help.

Soon, a large group of nuns rushed out from the gate.

Most were at the Nascent Soul Realm, with one at the Mid-Stage Integration Realm.

They all looked nervous, drawing their treasured swords, ready to assist.

"Junior Master, why hasn't Xueyin come out? Hurry and get her out." Zhang Bin asked one of the gate-keeping young nuns.

"Senior, please stop causing trouble here, hurry and leave." The young nun said anxiously, "Xueyin is in seclusion healing; she can't come out."

"Seclusion healing? Is she injured?"

Zhang Bin became anxious.

"She had a deviation in her cultivation. It's mostly suppressed now. She should fully recover in ten years. You should leave and come back then." The young nun said anxiously.

"Sigh... Xueyin really had a deviation because of me. I'm truly a big bastard." Zhang Bin sighed inwardly, retreating and pondering ways to help Master Xueyin establish her foundation.

"Clang clang clang..."

Zhang Duoqing finally gained the upper hand, forcing Ironheart Master to retreat repeatedly.

Ironheart Master's face was livid, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.

A sickly flush appeared on her face.

"This is bad, it seems our Sect Leader has encountered problems in her cultivation. It's all triggered by this bastard." The Emei Elder at the Mid Integration Stage said furiously.

"Hahaha... Ironheart, you've lost today. From today on, you are my woman." Zhang Duoqing grew even more excited, his eyes shooting fiery light.

His attacks became increasingly fierce.

"Everyone, attack." Ironheart Master forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and shouted.

Thus, numerous Emei disciples swarmed forward.

They besieged Zhang Duoqing.

Ironheart Master withdrew, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Her face grew even redder.

Clearly, her cultivation really had encountered issues.

Likely triggered by Zhang Duoqing.

Even though Ironheart Master was cold and indifferent to the extreme.

Nevertheless, having a man pursue her relentlessly for three thousand years without wavering.

How could she, as a woman, remain unaffected?

Could her cold heart not melt?

"Get away from me..."

Zhang Duoqing, like a mad tiger, fiercely unleashed the terrifying Taiji Sword Technique.

The sword was like electricity, transforming into countless circles.

Encircling all the Emei disciples within.

Then a cacophony rang out, as the magical treasures in the nuns' hands were knocked into the air, stumbling backward, some even falling to the ground.

"Hehehe... Ironheart Master, do you see your brother's power? Passion is much stronger than ruthlessness. Today, follow me, I have a way for you to cultivate the Passionate Divine Skill, never mind that Supreme Forget-Love Art." Zhang Duoqing sneered, stepping towards Ironheart Master, "Together we'll ascend to the Immortal Realm, becoming an immortal couple, how blissful that would be."

"Could it be, this Taoist cultivates the Passionate Divine Skill? Not the Taiji Divine Skill?"

Zhang Bin muttered inwardly, just about to intervene against Zhang Duoqing.

Ironheart Master suddenly shouted, "Activate the Mountain Protection Array..."

"Boom..."

A sound like thunder erupted, shaking the ground.

The space twisted.

Dense white fog appeared.

A terrifying force suddenly acted on Zhang Duoqing and Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin was completely unprepared, never expecting the opponent to attack him.

So he fell onto the ground.

Creating a large pit where he landed.

"Ouch..."

Zhang Duoqing similarly fell onto a very sharp rock, nearly piercing his backside.

"Kill these two lechers." Ironheart Master shouted angrily.

"Whish whish..."

The Emei disciples disregarded everything, shooting deadly Flying Swords from their mouths towards Zhang Bin and Zhang Duoqing, empowered by the Formation, carrying immense killing intent.

"Hurry, escape..."

Zhang Duoqing indeed showed great strength, jumping up, grabbing Zhang Bin's hand, and fleeing like lightning out of the array's range.

Clang clang clang...

Yet a few Flying Swords still struck their backsides hard.

Emitting a sound like striking iron.

Both were very strong, their bodies like magical treasures.

Otherwise, their backsides would have become a hornet's nest.

They rolled and crawled, escaping far away.

"You two bastards, if you dare come again, I'll chop off your heads." Ironheart Master finally suppressed her deviating True Qi, emanating overwhelming oppression and momentum, speaking in a tone as cold as ice.

"Sect Leader, actually, those two are not together. The other one claims to be the 188th ancestor of Master Xueyin, here to find her. Wants to nurture Master Xueyin, giving her a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm." The gate-keeping nun hesitated.

"What? Is that possible?" Ironheart Master said, "That's absurd, probably Zhang Bin in disguise, you must be cautious, never let that person mix in. Xueyin lost her Dao heart due to Zhang Bin, and hasn't recovered. If Zhang Bin appears before her, her meridians might break."

"Yes, Sect Leader, we'll be watchful and prevent that scoundrel from mixing in."

The two gate-keeping young nuns said seriously.

Zhang Bin had good hearing, though he was outside the array, he vaguely heard.

His tears immediately streamed down his face.

What does it mean to fail before even starting? This is it.

His seemingly excellent plan, easily seen through by Ironheart Master?

How could he know, Ironheart Master had defended against Zhang Duoqing's harassment for three thousand years.

Zhang Duoqing tried all measures to meet Ironheart Master.

Thus, Zhang Bin's plan seemed juvenile to Ironheart Master.
