Chapter 631 The Mysterious Ponytailed Girl Carrying a Sword and a Broadsword

Holy Sage Flying Light was the most mysterious one of the three Holy Sages.

In the fierce battle, before anyone could react, Holy Sage Black Sun and Holy Sage White Bone Shadow both abruptly conjured up a vague shadow behind their back. At the most incredible time, from the most incredible angle, in the most incredible way, the shadows simultaneously launched attacks at the Two Sages.

“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!”

Being caught off guard, the Two Sages were bombarded to the air. They had immediately been put at a disadvantage.

“What?”

“That is...”

Countless exclamations burst out from the ghost cultivators of both sides.

The situation became out of balance in an instant.

The moment the Two Sages lost their head start, they immediately lost the upper hand to their opponents. They were left to take blows. Like young saplings in a storm whose branches could be snapped at any second, they were in imminent danger.

All the ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain instantly became very anxious.

They had finally seen a glint of hope, but before dawn came, it was suddenly shrouded in the cruelest darkness.

Some of them wished to dash to the air and help the Two Sages even at the cost of their lives, but they couldn’t get close to the battlefield at all.

“You will eventually pay for your arrogance.”

Devastating killing intent could be heard in the voice of Holy Sage Black Sun. The burning black ghost fire surrounded the woman sage. With the help of the mysterious and vague shadow, he had thoroughly gained the upper hand.

So did Holy Sage White Bone Shadow on the other side. Assisted by the vague shadow that had suddenly appeared around him, he had completely held the man sage in check.

Li Mu opened his Third Eye and observed in secret.

The strength of the two vague shadows that had suddenly emerged was slightly weaker than the two Holy Sages, but their strength. However, their power and auras were exactly the same, as though they were two identical leaves in the world. It was just that the way the two shadows appeared was too absurd. They had actually come out from the bodies of the two Holy Sages as if they were just their shadows. It was just that if they were the shadows of the two Holy Sages, they should look similar to the two Holy Sages. Yet, they were actually completely different from the two Holy Sages. However, the two shadows themselves were exactly the same.

So, these two shadows should be Holy Sage Flying Light.

This was a rather special Cultivation Method of his.

It turned out that he could extract a shadow from someone else’s back.

His title of “Flying Light” kind of indicated that.

Li Mu pondered, “Could this most mysterious Holy Sage of the Three Divine Sects be just a shadow?”

He also discovered that although with the help of the two shadows, Holy Sage White Bone Shadow and Holy Sage Black Sun had clearly gained an absolute advantage, they did not employ the means of thunder to kill the Two Sages directly. Instead, they kept moving around and battling, as if they wanted to capture the Two Sages alive. Therefore, the battle had not been completely over as of this moment.

“That’s it. The three Holy Sages intend to seize the Cultivation Method of the Two Sages. It’s simply unnerving that the Two Sages have gone so far over the past four or five years. The more powerful the Two Sages appear to be, the more the three Holy Sages covet their Cultivation Method.”

Li Mu had figured it out.

This was also the reason why he hadn’t made a move.

He also wanted to learn more about the properties of the Cultivation Methods of the three Holy Sages through observation. Thus, he would be more confident when he struck out.

After all, the strength of the three Holy Sages was really amazing. Even if Li Mu reinstated the power he had as a living person, he would still not be sure that he could defeat them.

“If you hand over the Cultivation Method, you and your wife will not die,” Holy Sage White Bone Shadow spoke as well. His voice carried the majesty of heaven and earth and echoed in the void with unquestionable energy.

The woman sage sneered and responded, “You don’t deserve to own it.”

Holy Sage Black Sun burst out laughing. “On the Ghost Rally Star, there are no Cultivation Methods that we Holy Sages are unworthy of having... You’re one step from hell, yet you still refuse to see reason. Do you really think we won’t kill you? One of you will be killed first, and the other will be left behind to be interrogated later. I have 10,000 ways to deal with ghost cultivators. I can make your husband feel so much pain that he will beg for a quick death.”

The woman sage said, “I’m just afraid that you can’t kill either of us.”

Before her voice died away—

Another strange event occurred.

A streak of sword light and a jet of broadsword light shot out from the Bone Sacred Mountain without warning.

The bright light of the sword and the broadsword cleaved the overcast sky of the Ghost Rally Star. Also, the two jets of light instantly cut the two shadows off from the two Holy Sages.

In an instant, the tide was turned again.

It was apparent that the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain were aware of this change, so they took the opportunity to fight back. In the fraction of a second when the two Holy Sages were in shock, the Two Sages turned the tables and once again tied with their opponents.

On the other side, the two identical shadows that had been severed from Holy Sage White Bone Shadow and Holy Sage Black Sun flashed in the void and eventually merged into one.

What was even more strange was that these two shadows were originally rather vague. According to common sense, they should be clearer after becoming one. However, it turned out that the combined shadow became more and more indistinct, as though it were a cloud of smoke. The outline of the shadow was rather fuzzy, so its real form could not be seen.

However, no matter how vague its figure was, its momentum, aura, and energy fluctuations were powerful in the extreme. It was no less impressive than those of Holy Sage Black Sun and Holy Sage White Bone Shadow. If anything, the power of the shadow seemed to be even superior to that of the two Holy Sages.

It was the third Holy Sage.

“Got a backup plan?” The blurry shadow opened his mouth and spoke. His voice was as tenuous as a thread, but his words were distinctly caught by the ears of every ghost cultivator. “Who are you? Move your ass here!”

He unblinkingly stared in the direction of the Bone Sacred Mountain.

“Demons and monsters, the broadsword swallows and the sword sweeps!”

A very crisp female voice rang with an edge of childishness. It sounded that she was definitely young.

Then, a girl holding a sword and a broadsword suddenly rose from the Bone Sacred Mountain. She seemed to be flying slowly but actually very fast. In the blink of an eye, she reached the battlefield in the void. Standing a kilometer away, she looked out at the blurry shadow in the distance. Her fighting momentum did not seem any inferior.

Many ghost cultivators were surprised and bewildered at the sight of this girl.

“Who is she?

“I’ve never seen her before.”

The girl had worn her long black hair in a ponytail, and she was wearing a tight black swordsman’s uniform. She was good-looking and fair-skinned. Her big eyes were like two gems, gleaming with intelligence. She had an indescribable charm. It was indisputable that she was a very beautiful and delicate girl who seemed to be 14 or 15 years old.

She was kind of ordinary.

Yet, she was also extraordinary.

She was grabbing the broadsword in her left hand and the sword in her right hand.

The sword and broadsword lent brilliance to each other.

Obviously, at that critical moment, the person who made the move to save the Two Sages was exactly the mysterious ponytailed girl carrying a sword and a broadsword.

They had never heard of such a person in the Bone Sacred Mountain before.

What was more, no one on the entire Ghost Rally Star had ever heard of such a girl who was strong enough to fight against the three Holy Sages.

Where, on earth, did she come from?

On top of being surprised, the ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain, such as Elder Zhen Ye in the Ghost General Realm, were also extremely excited.

It did not matter where this girl came from. The most important thing was that she was on the side of the Bone Sacred Mountain.

When the sword and the broadsword met, the scene of their brilliance suddenly reversing the situation just now had imprinted in the eyes of countless ghost cultivators. With that move, the strength of this mysterious girl carrying a sword and a broadsword had been fully revealed. Now that she was here to deal with Holy Sage Flying Light, even if she could not triumph over it, as long as she could resist it for some time, it meant that the plan of the Three Divine Sects to destroy the Bone Sacred Mountain would be completely ruined.

“We’re saved.”

Zhen Ye looked at Li Mu, who was beside him, with eyes alight with excitement.

It was not until this moment that he realized that the young man beside him was even more exultant than him.

He saw that there were tears glinting in Li Mu’s eyes.

“Never knew this buddy is actually such a sentimental ghost.” Zhen Ye sighed.

There was no doubt that after this battle, the status of this buddy in the Bone Sacred Mountain would soar to the sky, because his loyalty and moxie had been proved in the most direct and astounding fashion.

Especially at that moment, Li Mu took the initiative to confront the head of the Lost Land and the other two Ghost Lords to cover for the retreat of many other ghost cultivators. That had surprised and moved countless ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain, who had now regarded him as a hero. Even if the Two Sages promoted him to be the third in command in the future, no ghost cultivators would have any objection.

But Li Mu didn’t notice that Zhen Ye had so many thoughts on his mind.

He just wanted to smile and shed tears of joy.

“Alive, they are all still alive.

“It’s so nice to see you again, my friends.”

Li Mu laughed with tears in his eyes.

For a long time, the huge load on Li Mu’s mind was finally removed for good at this moment. Also, those regrets that he once thought that he would never be able to make up for turned out to be possible to fix at this moment.

Li Mu’s entire inner world began to ascend.

The death of the couple and the girl in front of him that occurred on the Divine Land had left a few cracks in Li Mu’s passion for martial arts, causing some inner demons that even he hadn’t noticed to grow. But in this instant, the cracks and the inner demons began to slowly disappear.

The Xiantian Skill started to run automatically in Li Mu’s body.

As his aura had been restrained, no one else could detect anything. However, Li Mu suddenly felt that the whole world had become clearer in front of him, as though something that had been blocking his vision but not been detected by him had been wiped off in an instant.

He just made a breakthrough.

He had taken the Xiantian Skill to a higher level again.

All of a sudden, Li Mu was thrilled.

Since he reached the previous level, his Xiantian Skill had been stuck there for a long time. He was unable to break through no matter how hard he cultivated. Even though he had undergone several life-and-death battles, all the progress he had made was to have gained some insights. Nevertheless, the new breakthrough had eluded him. It seemed that he had hit a bottleneck.

But at this moment, Li Mu had an epiphany.

It was not because he had cultivated wrongly, worked not hard enough, or the timing had not arrived that he had failed to make a breakthrough in the cultivation of the Xiantian Skill.

Instead, it was because there were still regrets and holes in his heart.

He himself might have been unaware of these regrets and holes.

It was not until this moment when Li Mu was crying with a smile on his face that he vaguely understood what kind of position those deceased friends had occupied in his heart. Most of the time, Li Mu was actually very loyal and sentimental. He could do anything for his friends, including risking his life. Yet, Li Mu himself had considered him a person who only cared about benefits and never wanted to be a saint.

In fact, he had done too many altruistic things. He was simply a standard saint.

He would only become indecisive and troubled when it came to his own benefits.

But now, Li Mu swore that he would not let his three old friends fighting in the sky leave him again.

Absolutely not.
