Chapter 79: Kill!

“Four poison pills,” said Meng Hao, his voice grim and his expression unsightly . “I of the younger generation am worried that if I consume this pill, I won’t be able to lead you forward . If the poison takes effect, I will die . If it doesn’t take effect, then how will the elder generation ensure that I can dispel the poison later? Or have you not even considered that?!”

“Of course there is a poison dispelling technique,” said the red-faced old man from the Cold Wind Sect, his face expressionless . “Whether or not you chose to believe is up to you . ” In this, he used Meng Hao’s own tactic against him . The complete resolution of all the various matters now rested on Meng Hao .

He stood silently for a moment . As the man had said, the choice to believe lay in him alone . Unfortunately, if he chose not to believe, then the current situation would never be resolved .

Meng Hao’s eyes glanced over the four pills . Three of them he recognized . “This is… a Centipede Dragon Pill . This one is a Frigid Corpse Pill and this is a Blood Withering Pill . As for this one… . ” The three-colored pill from Lord Revelation was something he had never heard of before . There had been no information about it in the ancient jade slip .

“Patriarch Reliance’s Cultivation base is as high as the Heavens,” Meng Hao muttered to himself . “He should be able to figure it out . ” He clenched his jaw, then lifted his hands and put one of the pills into his mouth . It appeared to contain something alive within it, and sure enough, Men Hao felt a searing pain as it slid down his throat . And yet, the pain didn’t cause him to hesitate . His eyes bloodshot, he forced down all of the pills . As he swallowed the pill given to him by Lord Revelation, he looked the man in the eyes .

Lord Revelation smiled the entire time . Meng Hao didn’t hesitate at all . He knew that he had to swallow the pills to allay everyones’ suspicious .

The instant Lord Revelation’s pill entered his mouth, it dissolved into a Qi which seeped into his flesh and blood . Seeing Meng Hao swallow the four pills in succession left Liu Daoyun feeling quite pleased .

The ten or more Foundation Establishment Cultivators watched Meng Hao with strange expressions in their eyes . Seeing his resoluteness left them feeling the need to be more vigilant .

Meng Hao took a deep breath . His expression grim, he looked up at the Eccentrics . He said nothing .

“Let’s go,” said the old woman with a nod . She waved a finger toward Meng Hao, then turned into a prismatic rainbow and shot away . The other Cultivators present followed, one by one . Her wave of a finger caused the bag of holding that lay on the ground at Meng Hao’s feet to suddenly transform into a hideous mist spirit . Its body flickered as it wrapped around Meng Hao and then shot into the sky .

Liu Daoyun followed along, looking at Meng Hao with a cold smile .

“You’re dead!” he said grimly .

Meng Hao didn’t reply . He just looked coldly at Liu Daoyun’s twisted face .

“After you take the Patriarchs into the Immortal’s cave, just wait until you come back out . You’re dead for sure . Even if you dispel the poison, I won’t let you go . There’s nowhere you can run to in the State of Zhao . By the way, you’re a Reliance Inner Sect disciple, yet you have no choice but to lead people to kill your own Sect’s Patriarch . How does that feel? Liu Daoyun’s malicious words were filled with ridicule .

“You killed Sun Hua over a silver spear . How does that feel?” said Meng Hao coolly, looking down at Liu Daoyun below him . The earth sped past beneath him . This was a speed Meng Hao had never achieved before .

As far as Liu Daoyun went, Meng Hao didn’t care about him at all . But Meng Hao’s words hit him like a stick jabbed into a fresh wound . His eyes were red through and through, and he looked at Meng Hao with a matchless hatred; he wished to rip him into pieces . The incident with Sun Hua was the most humiliating thing that had ever happened in his life . In fact, it had ruined any future prospects within his Sect . He had basically been cast aside . Right now, his eyes seemed as if they would shoot flames . He clenched his fists tightly as he glared murderously at Meng Hao .

Seeing Meng Hao’s lack of expression arose a hard-to-describe feeling that threatened to drive him mad . He punched the air with his fist .

Panting, he gritted his teeth for a long moment before saying, “You swallowed four poison pills . I’ll just wait until the poison takes effect . Your body will rot and your heart will be torn apart . ”

“Today, you will die beneath my sword,” said Meng Hao coolly, sounding neither happy nor angry . He looked down at the barren mountains whizzing by beneath him, and then at the four mountain peaks of the Reliance Sect off in the distance .

“You sure can talk big,” said Liu Daoyun with a cold laugh and a sinister expression . It seemed he didn’t take Meng Hao’s words seriously at all . “You’ll do that all by yourself? I can’t wait to see the poison kick in!”

After he finished speaking, a booming sound rang out . The group of people had arrived at the Reliance Sect main square . It was deserted, occupied only by fallen leaves, bird droppings and a few animals which scattered in fright .

A fierce wind accompanied the group’s arrival, sweeping clean the Outer Sect square . Seeing the place, Meng Hao’s face flickered with a variety of expressions .

“What does it feel like to see your Sect become like this, Meng Hao?” said Liu Daoyun with a sneer . As he spoke, Meng Hao turned and looked at him, killing intent springing from his eyes . He had already begun moving . He lifted his hand, and fifty flying swords appeared, flying straight toward Liu Daoyun .

“I think this place is the perfect location to bury you in . ”

There had been no indication whatsoever that Meng Hao would attack . Even as his words echoed out, the swords were upon Liu Daoyun . His expression changed; he had never imagined that Meng Hao would dare to attack him in the presence of all the Patriarchs .

He shot backward quickly, biting down on his tongue and spitting out some blood, along with a pearl . This pearl was different than the treasures he had used before . As soon as it flew out of his mouth, it began to radiate an intense killing aura . It transformed into a hideous, black demonic face, which then slammed into Meng Hao’s fifty flying swords .

An explosion reverberated out as the demonic face blocked most of the flying swords . However, one flying sword pierced through and continued on toward Liu Daoyun .

Liu Daoyun’s face twisted; he knew that he was in a dangerous life-or-death situation, a critical juncture . He let out a howl, throwing up his arm to defend against the sword . The sword stabbed through his right shoulder, sending blood spraying about . A horrified shriek rang out throughout the deserted Reliance Sect .

Even as the sword stabbed into his shoulder, it suddenly exploded, causing Liu Daoyun’s right arm to disappear into a cloud of blood . Blood also sprayed from his mouth, and he retreated backward, face pale and eyes shining with fear and astonishment .

Everything happened too quickly, in the space of time it takes for a spark to fly up . His right arm was destroyed, and his horrified screams still echoed through the air . The Eccentrics from the three great Sects looked back one by one, their eyes cold . This was especially so of the people from the Cold Wind Sect .

Liu Daoyun retreated, shrieking and howling .

“Patriarchs, this guy… . ”

His expression cold, Meng Hao stepped forward . Even as Liu Daoyun was in the middle of speaking, Meng Hao waved his right hand, and one hundred flying swords appeared, covering the entire square in a massive sword rain . It descended upon Liu Daoyun . Liu Daoyun might have been at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, but so was Meng Hao . Furthermore, Meng Hao’s Cultivation was based on the Sublime Spirit Scripture, and he had a golden Core sea . He even has a sliver of Spiritual Sense in his mind . This was more than enough to crush Liu Daoyun . The sword rain whistled through the air . Liu Daoyun had no more time for speaking .

There was a boom, and Liu Daoyun spit up more blood . A glittering light shone in front of him as his crystalline sword defied the might of Meng Hao’s one hundred flying swords . And yet, this in itself caused more injury to Liu Daoyun, who retreated further, howling .

“Patriarchs, save me!”

“Meng Hao, hold your hand!” came a voice from among the four Formation Establishment experts from the Cold Wind Sect . They frowned, obviously unwilling to allow Meng Hao to slay Liu Daoyun in front of all these people . Their bodies turned into beams of light as they sped forward .

“This is between me and him,” said Meng Hao, not even looking at the four Foundation Establishment experts . “Even if the poison takes effect on me right now, I will kill this man!” His expression was filled with murder and resolve .

The person he wanted to kill was Liu Daoyun of the Cold Wind Sect . But there were others present from the three great Sects other than the Cold Wind Sect . They, of course, would not stand by idly and watch Meng Hao be poisoned to death before opening the Immortal’s Cave . They would not allow small matters from other Sects to interfere with their interests .

The others flew forward, blocking the path of the Cold Wind Sect Foundation Establishment experts .

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, there’s no need to pay attention to the trifling matters of Qi Condensation Cultivators . Come, come, we haven’t seen each other for years . Why don’t we chat a bit about the old days?”

“Correct . Brother Chen, we haven’t seen each other for three years . I have a few questions about Cultivation that I was hoping to discuss with you . ” The four Cold Wind Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s faces grew livid when they heard all of these words . They were about to speak when suddenly Liu Daoyun let out another horrified scream .

Meng Hao’s fingers flickered in incantation patterns, and two hundred flying swords filled the sky . They descended upon Liu Daoyun with ear-piercing whistling sounds . Meng Hao took another step forward, and flashed an incantation pattern . A Flame Python emerged, several dozen meters long . Its roars reverberated out across the square . Blood sprayed from Liu Daoyun’s mouth as his crystalline sword shattered into pieces . He retreated backward constantly, desperation filling his eyes .

On the other hand, Meng Hao’s eyes shone with killing intent and determination . He flew forward, and a sword appeared in his right hand . It was the wooden sword, and it sped toward Liu Daoyun with unstoppable force .

“Get out of my way!” The faces of the four Foundation Establishment experts changed . They howled and attempted to force their way through to block Meng Hao .

“This man tried to kill me many times . This is a personal grudge . If anyone gets in my way, I’ll kill myself before opening the Patriarch’s Immortal’s Cave!” As his voice rang out, he completely ignored the four Foundation Establishment experts . Without a shred of hesitation, he shot toward Liu Daoyun, the wooden sword outstretched, clearly intending to slay him .

“Patriarchs, save me!!” screamed Liu Daoyun shrilly . It seemed the Foundation Establishment experts were about to attack, when a dry cough could be heard . It came from the old woman . Shock filled the hearts of the four experts, and they instantly stood stock still, their faces pale . The dry cough had slammed into their hearts like a lightning bolt from the Heavens, sending their minds spinning .

“This is too much!” said the red-faced old man from the Cold Wind Sect . He snorted, and a cold look appeared in his eye, which shot out toward Meng Hao . Even as this happen, Lord Revelation let out a hearty laugh . He flicked his sleeve; the cold look that had been shooting toward Meng Hao instantly fell apart .

“You!” said the red-faced old man, his eyes filled with rage .
