Chapter 166 - 106: Severing 1 Arm to Save 100 People Is a Great Merit; Sacrificing 1 Life to Save 10,000 People Is a Great Virtue!

Chapter 166: Chapter 106: Severing 1 Arm to Save 100 People Is a Great Merit; Sacrificing 1 Life to Save 10,000 People Is a Great Virtue!

"A mere Foundation Establishment Stage Evil Ghost actually dares to try and stop me?" Chen Zhengjie stared at Shen Feiyang, who had sent out the Ancient Sword Ghost to block him. A flash of killing intent crossed Chen Zhengjie’s eyes. Shen Feiyang’s actions were not only ruining his mission but also destroying his hope of saving his daughter.

After all, he couldn’t earn a Black Lotus Blessing on every mission! It was exactly this profound conviction rooted in familial love that allowed Chen Zhengjie to convince himself time and time again to draw his sword against his former friends, easing the guilt in his heart.

Now that he had reached this point, absolutely no one could stop him from moving forward. If he stopped here, wouldn’t all his previous efforts become completely meaningless? At this thought, Chen Zhengjie roared, "Get out of my way!"

Following this roar, the rapidly flying Flying Sword instantly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a five-meter-long Giant Sword, blasting straight toward the Ancient Sword Ghost. Faced with this unstoppably sharp Giant Sword, others might feel fear, but the Ancient Sword Ghost would not. After all, for an Evil Ghost that had been dead for who knew how many years, death was nothing more than a new beginning.

Divine Techniques... Ghost Saber Skill!

Facing the overwhelmingly massive Flying Sword, a majestic surge of Ghost Qi burst forth from the Ancient Evil Ghost, cloaking the large saber in its hands. It gripped the hilt with both hands, raised the blade high above its head, and slashed down at Chen Zhengjie’s incoming Giant Sword!

BOOM!

The blade of the Giant Sword clashed with the ghostly saber, immediately sending out a terrifying shockwave. The Ancient Sword Ghost was sent flying backward, saber and all, only coming to a halt after slamming into a nearby pillar. Though it had failed to stop Chen Zhengjie’s Flying Sword, it had still bought Shen Feiyang enough time.

Talismans flew from Shen Feiyang’s hands. In midair, they transformed into streaks of blue lightning that shot toward the bizarre little mouse on the Qilin Statue. Small Five-Thunder Talisman. This was a special Talisman Shen Feiyang had learned from his dreams.

Although he had learned quite a few other Talismans in his dreams, the Small Five-Thunder Talisman was undoubtedly the most useful in the current situation. Not only was it fast, but it also packed a heavy punch. It perfectly countered the small, agile, and bizarre mouse on the Qilin Statue.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Faced with Shen Feiyang’s Talisman attack, the little mouse constantly dodged. However, Shen Feiyang’s mastery over Talismans was profound. An ordinary Talisman Master would find it difficult to control their Talismans once deployed. But Shen Feiyang could multitask in the heat of the moment, continuously adjusting the trajectory of his Talismans even after they had been cast. As a result, after dodging a few Small Five-Thunder Talismans, the little mouse was eventually struck by one.

BOOM!

Amidst a flash of electricity, the bizarre little mouse instantly convulsed from the shock, letting out a miserable SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK. Seeing this, Shen Feiyang did not stop there. With a flick of his finger, a few more Small Five-Thunder Talismans in midair abruptly changed direction, accurately blasting the mouse.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Under the barrage of Thunder Talisman attacks, the little mouse was instantly reduced to a charred corpse, plummeting to the foot of the Qilin Statue. Its body contorted for a moment before finally turning into a wooden carving of a mouse.

Strangely, the Small Five-Thunder Talismans that accidentally struck the Qilin Statue failed to leave even a scratch on it. Conversely, the spots where the seemingly ordinary little mouse had gnawed were marked with clear bite marks. It was evident that this little mouse existed specifically to counter the Qilin Statue.

Though Shen Feiyang had eliminated the mouse, the damage it left on the statue was irreparable. Ultimately, a flaw had appeared in Luocheng First High School’s originally intact Five Directions Array.

However, Shen Feiyang didn’t have much time to think about this. Almost at the exact moment he dealt with the bizarre little mouse, Chen Zhengjie’s Flying Sword had already reached his back. At this distance, let alone a lowly Talisman Cultivator like him, even a Body Cultivator would struggle to evade.

CLANG!

Just as the Giant Sword aimed straight for Shen Feiyang’s vitals, an arrow brimming with Ghost Qi precisely struck the blade of the Giant Sword. This caused the Giant Sword to slightly deflect from its trajectory.

In the nick of time, Shen Feiyang barely managed to twist his body out of the way.

SLASH!

As the Giant Sword swept past Shen Feiyang’s body, it instantly brought up a spray of blood and a severed arm. The Giant Sword hovered in the air for a moment before returning to Chen Zhengjie’s side.

Within the underground space, Chen Zhengjie looked at the pale-faced Shen Feiyang, whose left arm he had just severed, and asked in a complicated tone, "Why did you do this?

"You should know that doing this... brings you absolutely no benefit."

Shen Feiyang was clearly a young genius with a boundless future, not to mention his status as a Missionary of the Black Lotus Sect. Even if the Black Lotus Sect ultimately failed this time, as long as he didn’t expose himself, neither the Immortal Alliance nor the Black Lotus Sect would blame him.

Therefore, Shen Feiyang’s smartest move right now would be neither to help Luocheng First High School nor the Black Lotus Sect, but rather to watch from the sidelines. The only way to avoid mistakes was to do nothing.

Yet, Shen Feiyang had deliberately chosen the most irrational course of action—making an enemy out of him and the entire Black Lotus Sect.

Chen Zhengjie did not understand this. He couldn’t understand it at all.
