Others go through hardships to practice martial arts, but you can quickly master advanced martial arts? Chapter 201

Within Hanxia, the Grand Dao Sect.

Outside the cities, there were often fierce beasts lurking, making the surroundings fraught with danger.

Yet, on a famous mountain range in Baiyun Province, an astonishingly large Daoist temple stood.

It was one of the [Three Mountains], the Grand Dao Sect, rumored to have a Martial Dao Grandmaster presiding over it.

It had hundreds of disciples, and even an heir known as the “Dao Child,” whose talent was said to far surpass those geniuses rumored in the outside world.

Whether this was true or not, no one knew.

At this very moment, under the shroud of night, within the enormous Daoist temple, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy and oppressive.

The reason for this was simple—

“Master’s soul lamp… extinguished?!”

Inside the main hall, Cui Song, the Dao Child with delicate features, was kneeling before a female Daoist in a Daoist robe. He stared blankly at the shattered soul lamp in her hand, his mind a jumbled mess.

He simply couldn’t comprehend the scene before him.

His Master was a Martial Dao Grandmaster…

How could he have died and his soul dissipated, with even his soul lamp extinguishing, just from a trip to the Exquisite Holy Land?!

“Aunt Su’e, could this… could the soul lamp be faulty?”

Cui Song tremblingly raised his head, looking at the Daoist woman’s smooth, youthful face. His heart pounded wildly as he tried to hear a negative answer from her.

However, no miracle occurred.

“I’ve already tried to contact him. Even striking the Dao bell yielded no response.”

The Daoist woman, addressed as Su’e, lowered her gaze, striving to suppress the emotions in her heart, but her voice still trembled slightly:

“I came to you this time to see if you, as his disciple, had any way to contact him.”

The Sect Master, who was almost invincible in her eyes, had died outside without any warning.

Even with Jiang Su’e’s half-Grandmaster state of mind, intense fluctuations were now occurring.

“Aunt, this disciple has no way.”

Listening to the Daoist woman’s words, Cui Song’s expression was bitter. He said, “Master is busy with myriad affairs on a daily basis, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. I can only be certain of seeing him when I am summoned.”

“Is that so…”

Jiang Su’e put away the extinguished soul lamp in her hand, took a deep breath, and her expression returned to calm. “Cui Song, you must not spread this news. I will investigate it thoroughly.”

If the news of the Sect Master’s death spread, it would surely cause panic and rumors throughout the entire mountain gate.

Once she had investigated the matter thoroughly…

Even if the perpetrator was also a Grandmaster, Jiang Su’e intended to settle accounts with them later!

“This disciple understands!”

Dao Child Cui Song immediately agreed.

Throughout the entire Grand Dao Sect, aside from his Master, who was in the Observation Realm, the Daoist woman before him was the strongest and most reputable.

“You may go now.”

Jiang Su’e raised her hand to dismiss him, supporting her head with one hand to alleviate the dizziness in her mind.

Just then.

A small bronze bell she had placed to the side suddenly vibrated slightly.

Jiang Su’e slowly widened her eyes, then sharply turned her head to look in the direction of the Scripture Pavilion.

Her voice was filled with intense surprise: “Senior Brother?”

The Dao bell vibrated thrice—this was a sign that someone had arrived at the Scripture Pavilion using the Sect Master’s token!

But, wasn’t the Sect Master dead?

Without time to think further.

Jiang Su’e suppressed her chaotic thoughts, rose abruptly, and hurried out of the main hall, sweeping towards the Scripture Pavilion.

The main hall was some distance from the Scripture Pavilion, but fortunately, a half-Grandmaster’s travel speed was extremely fast.

Soon, she passed through several defensive formations and directly arrived below the Scripture Pavilion.

During her journey, Jiang Su’e had already roughly sorted out her thoughts.

Feng Xiuzhen’s soul lamp was extinguished, and the Dao bell had not responded.

Although the situation was difficult to accept, the probability of him still being alive at this moment was very, very low.

If that was the case.

If the person upstairs who had arrived using the Sect Master’s token was not Feng Xiuzhen, then who could it be?

The answer was already obvious…

Jiang Su’e took a deep breath, the True Qi surging within her. She gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist, her eyes revealing determination:

“Let me see who exactly you are!”

As she spoke, her figure entered, ascending the stairs.

The staircase leading to the top floor wasn’t long, yet Jiang Su’e’s hands were already slick with cold sweat.

Within the entire Scripture Pavilion, only her footsteps echoed.

Before she even reached the top floor, this half-Grandmaster felt an indescribable, immense pressure.

The next moment, she heard the thumping of her own heart in her ears.

Drip, drip—

Every step she took felt like wading through ten thousand feet of mud, extremely difficult. Large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, dripping directly onto the steps made of spiritual wood.

By the time she was three steps away from the top floor, a Grandmaster’s Dao Heart, already formed, was on the verge of collapse.

The entire process didn’t take half a minute, but for Jiang Su’e, it felt as long as several centuries.

Like a lifetime had passed.

Her mind was blank, and a vast urge to retreat had sprouted within her, yet her legs dared not move backward.

She feared provoking the being on the top floor.

The moment she stepped onto the top floor, she tremblingly looked up, and indeed saw a snow-white cloak gently swaying in the wind!

Jiang Su’e’s pupils instantly constricted to their extreme.

Before her.

A white-robed young man stood with one hand behind his back, holding a jade slip in the other, gazing at her with an indifferent expression.

His blood energy was like a sea, his majesty like a mountain, as dazzling as a reincarnated god-king!

“You are…”

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Su’e’s heart abruptly tightened. Before him, she felt as if her entire being was about to be crushed, and even her eyes became clear and dazed!

Crack!

Faintly, a shattering sound seemed to echo in her ears—the sound of clear cracks appearing in her Dao Heart.

She couldn’t muster any will to resist.

She had never imagined that the arrival would be such a divine being!

In the midst of a deathly silence.

The white-robed young man’s lips uttered a cold voice:

“What are you looking at, your mother?”

In an instant, a terrifying soul fluctuation, as if it could crush all things, accompanied by unparalleled might, surged forth from around him!

Boom!!—

The pavilion shattered, and fierce winds raged!

In just a moment, Jiang Su’e’s body flew backward. The Dao sword at her waist couldn’t withstand such pressure at all, directly breaking into countless fragments in mid-air!

Her figure crashed through building after building, smashing directly into a pavilion ten thousand meters away.

“Ahhh…”

Blood spilled from all seven of Jiang Su’e’s orifices, her mind violently shaken, and a faint scream escaped her lips.

Her eyes had already rolled back, and her consciousness was carried far away.

Before even meeting, she had already lost heart.

Even if she recovered from her injuries afterward, it would be extremely difficult for her to erase today’s psychological trauma.

No one could imagine how much damage being defeated by an irresistible pressure would inflict upon a half-Grandmaster!

[Detected Jiang Su’e’s Dao Heart is on the verge of collapse. Malice Value + 15000!]

“Are they just giving it away?”

Inside the shattered Scripture Pavilion.

Ye Li shook his head and refocused his attention on his own panel.

As the Malice Value was consumed, text began to appear on the light blue screen…
