Chapter 189: Benefactor (I)

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The loud sounds of the sect masters fighting the willow tree king rang out continuously from Mist Island.

A large portion of the thick mist was dispersed at the spots where the battles were occurring. It was as if the air trapped in a ball had suddenly exploded in all directions. Countless internal force fragments scattered in all directions and hit the surface of the sea.

However, the thick mist that covered a range of 10 kilometers quickly filled up the exposed areas.

The master realm had the power to change the natural phenomena, making the sect masters at the peak of the warrior realm feel as powerless as martial artists facing a celestial being.

No matter how they struggled, it seemed like they would be trapped in the willow tree king’s domain forever.

On the sea, the spectators could roughly make out the location of the battles. Coupled with the scene formed by the internal force battles, they could tell which sect master was fighting with the willow tree king.

Unless one happened to be at the site of a large-scale beast tide from the otherworld, there was no chance for one to witness the moves of humans, mutant beasts, and mutant plants at the level of the master realm.

“This… The master realm is actually so terrifying!”

Some of the people’s mouths were hanging open in shock.

“Hehe, what’s there to be surprised about? I’ve seen an even more terrifying sight on the battlefield in the otherworld. A huge palm that reached the sky destroyed an entire super-large beast tide with one strike,” someone beside him said.

It was unknown if this person was telling the truth or if he was exaggerating the news that he had heard from others.

Suddenly, an elder muttered to himself, “We all owe that masked man our lives.”

The old man’s voice was not loud, but it struck deep into everyone’s hearts.

This was the truth. If the masked man had not appeared on Mist Island and fought with the Kunshan Sect’s Sect Master, Lu Zhenshan, they would definitely still be searching for the willow tree cores on the island.

Many people were stunned for a moment and sighed. “That’s right. If we hadn’t retreated in advance, we wouldn’t have survived.”

The sect masters of the large sects who were struggling to escape were still in danger of dying on the island.

When facing the willow tree king, who was at the peak of the warrior realm, most of the people at the peak of the warrior realm would be held back on the island and eventually end up as fertilizer.

A middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. “Unfortunately, the masked man has always been a lone wolf. We won’t have a chance to repay him for saving our lives.”

Many people rolled their eyes at the middle-aged man.

Repay his kindness?

Would he even be concerned with a small fry like you?

He was probably just trying to take advantage of the situation. His true goal was to cozy up to someone powerful.

More and more people started to talk about the masked man. Just as the masked man was being praised as their savior,

“Shut up!”

The three teams of disciples from the Kunshan Sect were also among them. Some of the disciples could not help but stand up and curse.

The masked man had fought with the sect master of the Kunshan Sect and chased these people out of Mist Island. All the good reputation had been taken by the masked man, but no one felt that they owed the Kunshan Sect anything.

“…”

The middle-aged man, who had been shaking his head while sighing and saying how he wanted to repay the masked man, immediately shut his mouth.

The Kunshan Sect was a large sect in the province after all. Most of the factions could not afford to offend them. It would be troublesome if they targeted them.

“Don’t you know what you guys have done?”

Everyone present looked a little unhappy, but no one retorted. They could only mutter to themselves.

Lu Zhenshan, the sect master of a large sect at the peak of the warrior realm, actually did not care about his reputation at all and participated in the disputes among those at a lower level through making use of loopholes in the rules.

This action had already been seen through by most of the factions. Otherwise, why hadn’t they appeared?

Although they could not be sure which faction they were targeting, it was still a thorn in their hearts.

What if it was themselves being targeted?

Not only had the opportunity that he had worked so hard for been snatched away, but in order to not leave any evidence, those from the faction that had been targeted would definitely lose their lives.

How could they not bear a grudge for such an act of bullying the weak?

…

Mist Island, by the sea near the ruins of the valley.

A ball of black fog suddenly made a small turn and quickly approached Lu Zhenshan, who was constantly dodging the tree roots and retreating towards the sea.

At this moment, because they were already very far from the center of the island, and the willow tree king had to deal with several people at once, the intensity of the tree roots’ attacks had already decreased.

Compared to when they first started to escape, the intensity of the attacks had decreased by about a third.

“Ye Jianyuan, what are you doing?!”

Seeing a ball of black fog quickly approaching, Lu Zhenshan cursed.

The Kunshan Sect and the Myriad Phenomena Sect were enemies to begin with. The two factions had been at odds with each other year after year, creating an irreconcilable feud between them.

It was obvious what the other party’s motive was when they met at this time.

Chen Yiming chuckled to himself and remained silent.

A shadow longsword formed from the black fog internal force shot out from the thick mist.

The black fog and thick mist were both smoke-based, causing the concealment ability of the shadow sword to increase.

“Damn it!”

Lu Zhenshan, who had just moved to dodge the tree roots, was stabbed by the shadow sword and almost lost his balance.

This was not all. The tree roots that were chasing after the masked man suddenly stopped and turned to attack Lu Zhenshan, increasing the pressure on him. He was suddenly in a desperate situation.

This was equivalent to Chen Yiming working together with double the number of tree roots to deal with Lu Zhenshan.

“Boom!”

Lu Zhenshan did not have the luxury to curse at him. He was forced to use the internal force from his fist to block some of the tree roots before flying back in retreat.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Before he could catch his breath, three more shadow swords shot out from the thick mist.

The shadow swords were ambushing him from the front while the tree roots chased after him from the back. Lu Zhenshan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

How unlucky was he?

First, he encountered the masked man who was a thorn in his side, then the willow tree king who had broken through to the master realm, and finally, he was stopped by Ye Jianyuan, his enemy.

Any one of these events had a small probability of occurring. Three of them happening one after another was something that would only occur in s. It was hard to imagine that such a thing would happen in reality.

“I’ll break it!”

Lu Zhenshan endured his internal injuries and roared. He instantly shot out two streams of internal force from his left and right fists. One blocked the three shadow swords, and the other blocked the tree roots.

However, just as Lu Zhenshan was about to retreat, nine more shadow swords shot over from all directions, sealing off all his routes of escape.

Even though the willow tree king had broken through to the master realm, compared to the willow branches that were attacking at high speed, the tree roots’ attacks were still mainly concentrated at one spot.

Speed was not what the tree roots were good at. Otherwise, no one would have a chance to escape from the island.

On the other hand, the shadow sword was more suited for sneak attacks. It was slightly less lethal than the sword made from the strength-based internal force, but at this moment, with the help of the tree roots, it was the most suitable choice.

“Boom!”

An earth-shattering explosion rang out.

Unable to dodge, Lu Zhenshan could only use his internal force to withstand the sneak attack from the nine shadow swords.

This caused him to be severely injured. Three shadow swords pierced through his body and his protective internal force, which had already cracked, and stabbed him in both shoulders and one of his thighs.

At the last moment, he forcefully mobilized his internal force to block the attack. He barely managed to keep his body intact and prevent his limbs from being destroyed by the internal force explosions.

At the same time, Lu Zhenshan shouted amidst the explosions.

“How can the willow tree king, which has broken through to the master realm, only have this kind of tricks?”

“You deliberately delayed me. Even if you kill me, you can forget about escaping alive.”

This was indeed the case. The power of the master realm to change the weather should not have been used only to create a thick mist.

Chen Yiming frowned and didn’t continue to attack.

Although he could not be sure if Lu Zhenshan was telling the truth or not, or if he was only telling half the truth, he had managed to obtain some useful information.

As the sect master of a large sect at the peak of the warrior realm, Lu Zhenshan had come into contact with more advanced knowledge than Chen Yiming.
