Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 980 - 503: Peng Ju (Part 2)

"Borrowing Pill Fire from Laojun Furnace, the Great Dao flows back to Qingcheng!"

"Boom!!!"

The azure blue flames poured forth, setting the entire Jiangdu earth vein ablaze. The burgeoning ring of fire spread like icy blue tides, scorching everything within ten miles, reducing flesh to ashes, leaving no bones behind.

"...Interesting, to survive my attack."

Peng Ju paused for a moment, then suddenly transmitted his voice, resonating for a hundred miles, echoing amidst the ruins,

"Stop playing dead! Our fates are intertwined, whether you’ve fallen, I know best... come out!"

"Boom!"

The sound roared like thunder; Qi waves surged like tides. Peng Ju spewed out sword energy, collapsing large areas of the ruins, instantly crushing the struggling civilians, grinding them into a bloody pulp.

Peng Ju stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes emitting blue light, scanning the devastated land like a searchlight. Divine Sense scoured every inch of brick and stone, seeking residual blood remnants that had escaped.

"The Blood Talisman Divine Sword move, I’ve heard about it; it was derived by the Divine Lord from the Nine Luminaries Divine Sword’s sword transformation method, though fundamentally centered on Divine Sect’s Blood God’s son’s great method.

Your techniques, seem similar yet different. Your Sword Qi Divinity Transformation, is built on my Qingcheng Secret Sword. Clearly, that old bastard taught you my trump card specifically to deal with me... isn’t that so!!"

"Boom!"

Another Qi blast cleared more ruins, killing countless hiding civilians, Peng Ju turned around, listened and located another spot,

"Too bad your skills are not yet honed; if you polished them for another five or six decades, I couldn’t say I’d be your match.

But you’re too impulsive; revealing yourself early to thwart my plans, now ensnared in calamity... How can I tolerate you!!"

"Boom!!"

Ruins and rubble, flesh and shattered bones, scattered the sky, raining down in hailstorm. Peng Ju stood amidst the descending rain of flesh, expressionless, watching as the red bloody figure gathered before him, swept up by the rusty, bloody wind.

"My Qingcheng Secret Sword does not have such undead methods; your move is definitely the Divine Sect’s secret manual, isn’t it? I guess it’s the Blood God Main Body?"

Tie Dan clapped,

"With your prowess, you could be a master of a mountain, so why wag your tail and plead to serve the Immortal Palace, no, the company?"

Peng Ju sneered,

"Why laugh at fifty steps with a hundred steps; didn’t you assassinate the department’s manager, arranged by the ox I previously killed.

Why do you serve him anyway? Isn’t that also being someone else’s lackey!"

Tie Dan thought and agreed, nodding,

"That ox indeed is the manager of the Monster Department; thus, we each killed a manager, let’s call it even and shake hands to reconcile."

"Reconcile? Hahaha ha-ha ha-ha——!"

Peng Ju was such a bastard; laughing he suddenly spewed Qi, blasting Tie Dan Daoist’s body into pieces, leaving only a head on the ground,

"Today I’m pushed to the brink by you, fell for the old bastard’s scheme, my trail exposed, my retreat severed, he’ll surely kill me. Not showing up yet, simply planning to use you to get rid of me, taking advantage, benefitting as a fisherman.

Too bad your skills can’t hurt me! And as we are Three Corpses in one, it’s your death or life destiny! Only by slaying and devouring you, do I have a slim chance to challenge him! So perish, give me your life! I’ll behead him for you!"

Peng Ju finished speaking, without hesitation, sliced the head in two, exploded it! Then he stood amidst the ruins, stretched his arms, took deep breaths of Qi...

"Tsk, never-ending... Any last words!"

"Have you considered another possibility."

From the bloody wind, another blood shadow emerged,

"I am not at all Lingxu’s Three Corpses, so even if you kill me, no opportunity exists to challenge him?"

Peng Ju raised an eyebrow, but seriously pondered it, calculated,

"You mean he deliberately muddled Heavenly Mechanism, making me mistakenly think you’re also a Three Corpses Split Body, using you to bait me out?

Hmph, that’s too low, a dignified Mystic Sect Leader not daring a frontal battle, too...

Tsk... Indeed something that old bastard would do..."

The blood shadow stepped over the blood-drenched earth, Dao Body once again reformed, chuckled,

"Seems you do understand him quite well, so do you know Lingxu’s real aim?

Really planning to rebuild the Third Void, lift Nine Peaks of Cloud Platform, fly out of Taiji Heaven, seeking Outer Heaven?"

Peng Ju turned to glance at the blood shadow, raised his brows at the other side of the ruined walls, evasively answering,

"I’ve already said, you’re too impatient; should have secluded yourself for decades, solidifying your foundation, then wouldn’t meet such defeat.

Your Blood God Main Body technique clearly hasn’t fully matured, has it?

"The shattered Dao Body still needs time to revive, so you’re just stalling with all this talk, right?"

The Blood Shadow didn’t deny it, and as it slowly grew arms and legs in the wind, it continued to inquire,

"Since you claim to be Peng Ju, one of his Three Corpses, and a parasite in his belly, you must know exactly what he’s scheming.

On the flip side, whatever you’ve plotted or devised, he must be fully aware.

That’s why he sent me to ruin your plans the same night you joined the company and successfully signed on, isn’t it?"

"Question after question! Ask your damn questions! Do you think I’d answer, you fool?"

Peng Ju seemed to be struck at a sore point, his gaze sharp, and he shot a burst of Breathing Qi that tore apart the Blood Shadow’s Dao Body.

But Tie Dan was unfazed, drifting in the Blood Wind like a ghost, he said softly,

"Why not... Since you’ve been tricked by him, your efforts are in vain, and you might fall here...

Why don’t you just spill all his plots and schemes to me...

Perhaps one day, I might chop him down with a sword on your behalf..."

Peng Ju was silent for a moment, but didn’t strike with a sword again to behead him, just looked deeply at Tie Dan,

"Humph, still claiming not to be one of the Three Corpses... Why bother asking when you already know! What else could he want to do!

Of course, his plans are identical to ours!"

"Our plans? Identical..."

The Blood Shadow suddenly stopped in its tracks,

"Are you saying he also wants to join the company?"

Peng Ju didn’t give any opportunity, swung his sword and shattered him.

But the Blood Shadow didn’t have the time to argue, the sky erupted into a bloody gale, swirling wildly, ghostly cries filled the air.

"This skill uses the obsession with greed, anger, and ignorance as a catalyst, fulfilling one’s desires and executing one’s plans...

If you were in the position of the Three Corpses, your actions wouldn’t be any different...

Mutual understanding, connected thoughts, hearts echoing like two bodies with no distinction...

The corpse of the Three Corpses is your corpse, what you can conceive, he can too. What he wants to do is what you want to do...

So that’s it... This is called Outer Body Incarnation... That’s the way to survive..."

Peng Ju’s eyes were sharp, glaring for an instant; then from the bloodied gale, a Blood Man emerged from the Red Sea.

"Incorrect... You indeed were stalling for time, but not to reshape your Dao Body, nor planning to escape... What trickery are you up to..."

"I already mentioned the Blood Talisman Divine Sword.

Your skills are formidable indeed, enough to split a city with Breathing Qi, I can’t compare.

But one mountain is taller than another, compared to the Divine Lord, you are lacking a bit.

So the Qingcheng Eight Immortals Sword is just a bet." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Scoundrel... Smash!"

"Bang!!"

Peng Ju struck with a burst of sword energy! But it was blocked by the suddenly rising blood sea! The sword energy exploded into rippling waves on the blood wall! It actually blocked the Breaking City Sword Qi!

"Blood Talisman Divine Sword, originally the Heaven and Earth Sword. In single combat, I still fear you a bit.

Yet you rage and slaughter, killing tens of thousands relentlessly!

The area around has become a Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea! Every direction turned into a ghostly domain with countless souls! Even within the Ten Absolute Array it wouldn’t be this fierce!

Now, filled with righteous anger and grievances, all the wailing souls demand I chop you to death!

How can you fight me in this place?"

"You damn..."

Peng Ju suddenly realized, quickly broadened his Divine Sense for soul-searching, and immediately saw through,

"You’ve turned Jiangdu into a Sword Array!"

The Blood Man wiped his face, revealing his blue-green pupils, and drew the sword from his mouth,

"I’ve seen enough of your swords.

Now, let me show you My Sword."
