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

Suddenly, a cry rose up from soft to loud. It possessed beauty that could not be described with words.

The phoenix wings suddenly expanded to several dozen meters across, and the phoenix that had become rather haggard under the spirit turtle’s suppression blazed with dazzling flames of life under the threat of death.

The sky full of feathers vanished together. As it turned out, it was merely an illusion.

Mo Yu was mildly surprised. He had never seen a Daemon General who could put up a struggle against his Gaze of Death. Northmoon’s body contained a powerful life force that clung on persistently.

“But do you really think you can escape from your fate of certain death like this?”

His black irises flowed like liquid, filling his entire eye. In the blink of an eye, there was not a shred of white left in Mo Yu’s eyes. They were filled with a terrifying, eerie aura.

The raging flames of life immediately dimmed like a black veil had covered it, suppressing and extinguishing it.

Black feathers drifted through the sky again like black snow.

This was a clash between life and death, a battle between the phoenix and the crow.

The phoenix was a divine bird, but it was far too young and feeble right now such that it was inferior to the crow in strength.

“You better stop, the two of you!”

A voice rang out, and with a flash, Gu Yanying appeared between Mo Yu and Li Qingshan, blocking their vision of each other and ending their clash.

“Yanying, move aside.” Mo Yu frowned.

Gu Yanying raised her hand, and a circular Ink Dragon talisman dropped down. The Ink Dragon talisman that an ink dragon seemed to be coiled around suddenly sprung alive. It opened its eyes and looked at Li Qingshan first—Li Qingshan experienced intense pressure, the dignified pressure of a king—before looking at Mo Yu.

“Stop where you should.”

No one knew who he was directing those words towards, but since the boss of the Green province daemons had told them to stop where they should, both Li Qingshan and Mo Yu were forced to stop.

“You will die!” Mo Yu’s lips pulled backwards, revealing that eerie, mask-like smile before producing a strange, sharp cry like a crow. “Caw!” His daemon qi plummeted.

Li Qingshan shivered, but nothing seemed wrong to him.

Seeing how Li Qingshan was perfectly fine, Mo Yu frowned again. He spread out his black feathers and vanished into the distorting, collapsing darkness.

Gu Yanying stowed the Ink Dragon talisman away and yawned. She said with her soul sense, “Oi, I’m the White Hawk commander of the Ruyi commandery after all. It’s time for you to run.”

“What did he do to me?”

“The Death Bringer Curse. It’s his most terrifying innate ability. It directly reduces the target’s lifespan depending on their strength and race. That caw of his earlier took away a century of life from you at the very least, but it seems like your lifespan is plenty long.”



Li Qingshan was stunned. Mo Yu’s ability sure was strange and powerful. If he used it on daemons, then so be it, but if a human cultivator lost a century of life all of a sudden, that was even more terrifying than being stabbed ten times. In particular, a few older cultivators might even die on the spot.

But as it seemed, Mo Yu also had to pay a price to use this move. He could not use it consecutively, or he would be invincible if he simply cawed a bunch of times the moment he saw people.

This extremely terrifying innate ability was not particularly effective against Li Qingshan. Like the Chinese saying, “A millennia a tortoise, ten millennia a turtle.” even he had no idea how long an almost-godlike spirit turtle’s life span was. Moreover, the phoenix was a symbol of eternal life.

However, losing a hundred years of life for no reason still left Li Qingshan with a horrible taste in his mouth. Then he asked, “How do I undo the curse?”

“That’s very simple. Kill him.”

“If it weren’t for you, I could have killed him,” Li Qingshan said. However, he also understood that just with the innate ability Mo Yu had used when he left alone, killing him would not be that easy.

“And what benefit would that bring you? You better run. I’m about to take action!”





Chapter 561: The Promised Land | Legend of the Great Sage




“Alright, alright, alright.” Li Qingshan unfurled his wings of wind and fire and disappeared into the darkness with a trail of flames.

Gu Yanying shielded her eyes and gazed into the distance. “He sure is fast!”

“Big sis, are you going to just spare the moon demon like this and allow him to continue refining bodies of water?”

A young woman flew over. She had large eyes and thick brows, with a bright and clear expression. If it were not for her swelling chest, she could have easily been mistaken for a boy. She wore the uniform of a Hawk Wolf commander, making her the figure only second to Gu Yanying in the Hawkwolf Guard of the Ruyi commandery.

“What else am I supposed to do?” Gu Yanying shot a glance at her. “Call me commander.”

“Big sis, you can’t go easy on him just because he’s interested in you! Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean you can’t kill a single man in the world? Don’t tell me you’re actually interested in him, and you’ve even come specially to rescue him?”

Gu Yanying held the girl’s chin and pressed her face up close. “Are you jealous? Even without me, he wouldn’t die here.”

“I don’t believe it.” The girl’s face reddened as she shook her head.

“His powerful reinforcements will arrive very soon. If he can last until that child comes, Mo Yu really might be in some danger.” Gu Yanying released the girl.

“She’s that powerful?”

“If you’ve had enough fun, you better return to the Dragon province! The Green province is becoming less and less peaceful. Once you become involved in a battle like earlier, even you will be in danger.”

“Big sis, stop trying to coax me. I’m not returning. The confrontation between imperial brothers and sisters has already led to bloodshed for the position of Marquis of Ruyi. It only shows that the Ruyi commandery is a great place that everyone wants to be in,” the girl said seriously. Who knew whether she was joking around or truly ignorant.

“They’re coming here as marquises, not as a follower like you.”

“What’s wrong with being a follower? I’m constantly under big sis’s care. You’ll have to deal with a monster like the moon demon if you become the marquis. And, my imperial brothers and sisters can’t even obtain this position of a follower even if they want to!”

“Then you better follow me around!” Gu Yanying spun around and took off into the air like a white hawk, turning into a white speck in the blink of an eye.

“Wait for me, big sis!” The girl followed behind in a hurry, calling out from afar.

……

Gu Yanying had not been the only one spectating Li Qingshan’s battle with the Daemon Commanders. There were many other cultivators who used various methods to observe from afar. When they saw how the daemons were suffering from internal strife, they all cheered inside.

There were even many cultivators who considered swooping in for the kill, but when they witnessed the moon demon’s great strength and vicious brutality, they all dismissed that thought. Against such a terrifying daemon, even if he were putting up a last stand, he would still be able to drag a Golden Core cultivator down with him, not to mention he had never revealed any true exhaustion the entire time.

As a result, Li Qingshan continued on his way with refining bodies of water, no longer encountering any obstructions.

Apart from those peak second heavenly tribulation people and daemons, only the kings who had undergone the third heavenly tribulation could subdue Li Qingshan. There were already very few figures that could pose life-threatening danger to him.
