Chapter 1779: Chapter 1876: Master Arrives

"I come from Mountain Tu!"

A voice that seemed to originate from the ancient and vast era resounded throughout the eight directions, cold eyes overlooking the earth, and boundless majesty descended.

Fang Lin’s face was pale. He felt an unimaginable oppressive force, one that absolutely could not be exuded by any strong person of this era.

Mountain Tu, the true name of the Eternal Divine Mountain, and that voice claimed to be from Mountain Tu—what did that imply?

"This can’t be possible!" Fang Lin gritted his teeth. Having faced so many life-and-death crises, he had never felt such despair as he did now.

Vast vitality continuously surged toward the pair of eyes above the sky, as if a life was being condensed.

The Pavilion Master of Sealing Sword Pavilion laughed maniacally, like he was possessed, continually attacking Fang Lin and Dugu Nian, repeatedly dealing them serious injuries.

"Undutiful disciple Liao Can Sheng, greets the return of my master!" The Pavilion Master of Sealing Sword Pavilion struck with a sword, pushing Fang Lin back, laughing as he spoke.

This was also the first time the world learned the true name of the Pavilion Master of Sealing Sword Pavilion—Liao Can Sheng!

At this moment, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian’s greatest enemy was not the Pavilion Master Liao Can Sheng, but the so-called master of Liao Can Sheng.

Although they didn’t know who it was, given that Liao Can Sheng had been plotting for so many years, expending so much effort to bring him back, it must be an extremely terrifying person.

"What should we do?" Fang Lin was at a loss. Even with Dugu Nian’s help, they could not defeat Liao Can Sheng. If they waited until Liao Can Sheng’s master fully returned, the situation would become even more horrifying.

And in that array, more than half of the people had already died. The remaining were only barely clinging to life, and being crushed to death by the array was only a matter of time.

After this battle, the Nine Countries Seven Seas would inevitably suffer great damage, especially the swordsmen. The most top-notch and gifted swordsmen from both lands had already mysteriously died here. This would be a heavy blow to the contemporary Sword Tao, one that couldn’t be healed within a thousand years.

Fang Lin and Dugu Nian couldn’t save these people. Even if they wished to, they were powerless against the fully attacking Pavilion Master Liao Can Sheng and the imminent terrifying strongman. Fang Lin and Dugu Nian were like rootless duckweed floating in the vast sea, ready to be capsized at any moment.

"We must destroy the array!" Fang Lin swallowed the blood rising in his throat, looked down at the array below, and forced himself to calm down.

"I’ll hold him back!" Dugu Nian said without further words, taking out the vermilion zither, willing to pay any cost to buy time for Fang Lin to destroy the array.

Fang Lin glanced at Dugu Nian and shook his head, "I’ll hold him back. You do your best to break the array!"

After saying that, he didn’t give Dugu Nian a chance to refuse. After swallowing a scarlet pill, he picked up the ancient spear and charged at Liao Can Sheng again.

At this moment, Fang Lin had already thrown away thoughts of life and death, ready to use his life to buy Dugu Nian time. As long as the array was broken and the mysterious strongman who had not yet descended lost the nourishment of life, maybe he wouldn’t be able to appear.

As long as that mysterious strongman didn’t show up, escaping would be much easier for Fang Lin and Dugu Nian.

Of course, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian could abandon the people in the array and escape, but Fang Lin didn’t do so. He couldn’t stand by and watch so many people die here. If he walked away like that, he would carry an unresolved knot in his heart, no matter how long he lived.

Dugu Nian felt reluctant, but at this moment, he had to gather his thoughts, his hands plucking the zither strings, pouring all his cultivation into the scarlet ancient zither.

"Ten thousand strings Demon Girl! Assist me!"

Dugu Nian shouted furiously, ten fingers bleeding simultaneously, with the blood staining the zither through the strings.

Suddenly, a disdainful snort sounded from within the scarlet zither, but then countless zither strings surged forth, each one as thin as a hair yet exuding an extremely terrifying formidable aura.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Countless zither strings bombarded the array. Under Dugu Nian’s frenzied attack, the array, already dented by Fang Lin, was now on the verge of collapse.

"Inside and outside in concert! Let’s go all out! We cannot die here!" The surviving experts within the array each knew that if they didn’t risk it with all their might, they would all die here. At this moment, they were continually exhausting all their strength to attack the array, responding to Dugu Nian’s offense.

Meanwhile, Fang Lin was holding off Liao Can Sheng, fighting desperately to prevent him from affecting Dugu Nian’s attempt to break the array.

But the cost was that Fang Lin kept getting injured, with Liao Can Sheng showing no mercy, every move being lethal. If not for Fang Lin possessing the True Dragon Physique and having taken the pills, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

But even so, this state couldn’t last long, and as Fang Lin’s injuries continued to worsen, he would eventually reach a point of collapse.

"For these ants, are you so willing to die?" Liao Can Sheng asked coldly.

Fang Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I don’t want to die."

"If you don’t want to die, then why not leave? With your strength, should you choose to escape, I wouldn’t stop you," Liao Can Sheng said.

Fang Lin sighed, "If I leave, these people will die, and I would be weighed down by my conscience."

Weighed down by his conscience!

Just four simple words, yet it was the only reason Fang Lin stayed to fight to the death.

"Ridiculous! This is the land of the strong, and the life and death of the weak can only be dictated by the strong. In my eyes, they are nothing but livestock ready for slaughter," Liao Can Sheng laughed.

Fang Lin stared at Liao Can Sheng, "If you see them as livestock, others stronger than you will see you as livestock too."

"When my master returns, this whole world will be under his feet, all beings crawling, none able to struggle," Liao Can Sheng shook his head and said.

"Who exactly is the master you’re speaking of?" Fang Lin asked.

Liao Can Sheng laughed, "Just an existence that the world has forgotten. Soon, you will know, though by then I fear you might not live to see it."

Fang Lin gritted his teeth and continued to fight Liao Can Sheng.

Jin Zhulong, hidden in the dark, silently watched all this. He chose not to intervene. Although he felt pained seeing Fang Lin repeatedly get injured, he had to remain patient. Now was not the right moment for him to act; if he did so now, all opportunities would be disrupted.

"Kid, hang in there. There’s still more important things for you to do," Jin Zhulong said to himself, his gaze fixed on the cold eyes in the sky.

The array was on the brink of breaking, and the nourishment of life had been greatly impacted. A glimmer of hope seemed ready to emerge.

Yet, at that moment, the eyes forming in the sky disappeared, replaced by a figure standing quietly above the Nine Heavens.

"Master!!!!" Liao Can Sheng knelt in mid-air, shouting.

Fang Lin looked up and saw the person’s visage. His pupils shrank sharply, and his face instantly turned colorless.

"Mo Shouhe!!!"
