Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

It was like a white bolt of lightning falling from the clouds in heaven. No matter what obstacles it ran into, it would not even waver.

The three swords basically landed at the same time, kicking up sparks. The spear rapidly spun in her hand and it produced a deep yet ear-piercing thrum. It knocked the swords away without being derailed at all.

No matter what you throw at it, you can’t block the sharpness of this thrust.

Staring death in its face, Wen Zhengming erupted with dazzling righteous qi and forcefully broke free from Li Qingshan’s arms.

Having been reduced to bones, he did not die, but he was unable to unleash the great strength of the ox demon either.

But at this moment, rings of fire suddenly coiled around Li Qingshan’s boney body. Wherever, the flames passed by, his flesh regrew, just like the legendary rebirth in fire. The muscles on his arms twisted as he forcefully crushed down on the white light from Wen Zhengming.

A jade tablet hanging from Wen Zhengming’s waist suddenly shattered.

The spear passed through Wen Zhengming’s head, but it did not feel like it had pierced anything tangible. Wen Zhengming turned into a soul-like figure.

Li Qingshan fell through with his grip and Wen Zhengming flew to one side. Wen Zhengming’s face was completely sunken. If it were not for his life-saving countermeasure, he would have almost failed miserably with this simple mission and died here.

Now, Wen Zhengming no longer feared any tangible attacks. He did not have any weaknesses on him, but he could still control his sword and use techniques. As both daemons before him were weakened, he only needed to assemble the Sword Formation of the Four Seasons with his three senior brothers again, and they would definitely be able to kill them here.

Right as he thought of that, there was a flash of blood-red light, and a huge, blood-red banner rippled through the air, sweeping towards him.

Wen Zhengming wanted to take off with his sword, but the banner constantly extended and expanded with him, enveloping the entire valley. Looking back, the sea of blood surged as far as the eye could see. When he returned to his senses, he had already entered the sea of blood.

“Junior brother Wen!”

The three grandmasters rushed over to provide assistance, but Li Qingshan and Lolth’s combined efforts blocked them. All they could do was watch helplessly as Wen Zhengming was sucked into the Blood Sea Banner.

Revitalised, Lolth was about to chase after them, but she suddenly felt her waist tighten. Li Qingshan had wrapped his arm around her waist before pulling her backwards forcefully and throwing her into the Blood Sea Banner as well, producing a faint halo.

Li Qingshan unfurled his wings and grabbed Xiao An, turning around and fleeing immediately.

The three grandmasters tailed behind him on their swords in hot pursuit, but they immediately discovered Li Qingshan’s speed was far more startling than what the information from the Hawkwolf Guard detailed. He actually managed to widen their distance immediately.



Little did they know that Li Qingshan completely refused to move at top speed. Flying swiftly through the twisting and turning underground caves basically took up all of his focus. It was even more tiring than fighting.

Upon increasing the distance between them, he suddenly stopped and turned around. He shattered the space there with his fists, and great cracks filled the surroundings. The earth rumbled and trembled like a magnitude 12 earthquake. Rock and soil rose and fell violently.

Afterwards, he withdrew his daemon qi and dove into Xiao An’s Blood Sea Banner as well. Xiao An took off with the Blood Sea Banner on her shoulder.

The mega earthquake failed to harm the three grandmasters at all, but it did bring them quite a lot of trouble. It made their hearts sink.

All traces of them had been destroyed, and they still could not sense even a hint of their auras. They pulled closer and searched around, but they found nothing. They could only hope that Wen Zhengming managed to repel them. As long as he gave off a sliver of aura, they would be able to rush over and save him.

On the surface of the boundless sea of blood, Wen Zhengming stood with his sword in hand with a sunken face. Lolth stood nearby.

As for Li Qingshan, he eyed him viciously from behind. In the moment earlier, he had made a decision based on his instincts. Severing a finger of the enemy is better than grazing all ten.

With Li Qingshan, Xiao An, and Lolth’s strength, killing the four grandmasters together was virtually impossible. A moment of carelessness could even turn the tables and lead them to their deaths instead. Just with the Sword Qi of the Four Seasons along, if he took it on again, he would probably be done for.

And, it would be very difficult for Xiao An to suppress a Golden Core cultivator with the Blood Sea Banner if she were alone. Right now, he was using an advantage in numbers to cement his victory.

Lolth gazed at Wen Zhengming who had already become a sitting duck before looking at the familiar sea of blood around her. She could not help but think, When I oppose them, they’re without a doubt a great headache, but when I work with them, the battle becomes unexpectedly easy.

When the four Golden Core cultivators assembled a sword formation together, even she was completely helpless against them. However, as soon as he struck, not only did he save her, but he even managed to forcefully bring a Golden Core cultivator with him.

“Come, come, come! You want revenge, come for revenge. If you have grievances, let’s get them settled!” Li Qingshan made a gesture of invitation and said to Lolth.

Lolth let out a snort, but she was in no hurry to fight. She smiled gorgeously. “Do you have any last words? Let’s hear them.”

Wen Zhengming said with composure, “Just do it! If I really end up dying here, then that’s fate. However, you might be able to kill me, Wen Zhengming, but you won’t be able to kill the righteous path of the world. You won’t be able to kill the countless disciples of confucianism. Lowly wretched daemons, only death awaits you for the heinous sins you commit.”

Even Li Qingshan developed some admiration for his spirit of being able to cast aside the issue of death. Hearing what he said, he smiled. “The righteous path of the world? Whose righteous path?”

“The path of humanity is the righteous path! Man of all creatures is the one endowed with intelligence! Why else do you think you all transform into humans?”

Li Qingshan said, “Then if I were human, I’d be part of the righteous path too? Forget it. Who cares if it’s some path of humanity or some shitty path? Carving it up and splitting it into groups is merely a waste of time. Today, you’ve ended up in my hands, and that serves you right. If I were to die in your hand some other day, I wouldn’t complain either.”

With that, he surged with malice.

The sea of blood surged with a colossal wave. Wen Zhengming cut through the wave in a single stroke and Li Qingshan leapt forth, striking the sword with his claws.

Clang! The sword was sent flying.

The poisonous whip twisted like a snake and coiled over. The tip was slightly black like it was a snake’s tongue, plunging into Wen Zhengming’s body.

Even though he had already become ethereal, the venom still spread very quickly.

Wen Zhengming was still hiding many tricks up his sleeve, but if he fought alone, he could not even defeat Lolth, let alone when she had Li Qingshan’s assistance and the Blood Sea Banner suppressed him.

The sea of blood surged. There was no other possible outcome for this battle.

Wen Zhengming said nothing else. Even on the brink of death, he was fearless. He wanted to blow up his golden core, but Xiao An’s Samādhi Flames of White Bone swallowed him.



In the moment Wen Zhengming fell in battle, two figures shot over. In that moment, Li Qingshan and Lolth clashed a hundred times before brushing past one another.
