Chapter 418: Wu Ji Gets Injured

A shout of “Hold on!” instantly filled Kai Xin and the others with excitement!
A youth dressed in coarse clothes stepped out from among the representatives of the six major sects… A master wielding the two legendary arts of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Great Qi Shift, at last appearing!
Yet, the six major sects clearly paid no attention to this boy with his face smeared with dirt and ash. Though he spoke with righteous words, full of ethics and morality, his words even made the sect leaders feel ashamed.
Following the original plot, He Taichong tested Zhang Wu Ji’s strength with a single strike before summoning his junior brother to use the Kunlun Sect’s secret technique—the Two Yin Sword Art and sword-swinging skills.
Sand and stones flew through the air, sword energy soared into the sky, and sharp sword glows along with intense sword whistles instantly surrounded Zhang Wu Ji…
“Truly befitting the sect leaders of the six major sects.”
Although Kai Xin disdained the character of the Kunlun Sect leader, he had to admit that their sword skills had indeed reached a masterful level.
The Two Yin Sword Art was truly terrifying.
But…
Unfortunately, He Taichong and his brother were facing Zhang Wu Ji, who had just broken through the tenth level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, unlocked dozens of mystical pathways in his body, and also mastered the Great Qi Shift.
Boom!!
The rapidly moving sword shadows and energy became distorted. By the time the two realized it, their swords were out of control, and the sword energy and glows formed an artificial tornado. With Zhang Wu Ji’s clear command, their attacks were all reflected back at He Taichong and his brother through the Great Qi Shift. The proud leader of the Kunlun Sect was defeated by an unknown commoner disguised as Zeng A’niu.
The six major sects were shocked!
After the battle, Zhang Wu Ji went to the White-Browed Eagle King to help him heal…
After a while, the White-Browed Eagle King opened his eyes:
“Thank you, young brother.”
His voice was full of strength. Only then did Zhang Wu Ji remove his hand and disperse his energy. He gazed at his grandfather’s back in admiration, remaining silent for a long time.
“Meng Yun, Xue Yi—they’ve finally arrived.”
At that moment, Mo Mo noticed that many people had rushed out of the sea of fire and arrived at the front of the six major sects’ camp. However, Meng Yun and the others were with the Huashan Sect, some distance away from here…
The crowd was somewhat confused about the situation. They didn’t know who the woman in black standing behind the battlefield was, but she focused intently on the developments and trends in the fight.
Kai Xin glanced in the direction of the Huashan Sect before quickly turning away.
…
Once the White-Browed Eagle King recovered, he immediately challenged He Taichong, the leader of the Kunlun Sect!

Although Song Yuanqiao said that the Mingjiao had been defeated by all those below Yang Xiao and should keep their promise, the White-Browed Eagle King immediately retorted, “…But I, Yin, have not lost nor been defeated! Do the six great sects intend to break their promise? To overwhelm us in numbers and slaughter our Mingjiao?!” His words were passionate and full of righteousness. With just that statement, he forced the six great sects of the righteous path to confront him again… The Five Elders of Kongtong, dissatisfied with the Shaolin Sect’s inflexible and stubborn ways, stepped forward to fight the Eagle King, but were once again defeated by Zhang Wuji after just a few dozen exchanges! Kongtong suffered another defeat… Among the crowd, Zhou Zhiruo revealed a knowing smile. She was initially surprised but then understood: a few days ago, when Zhang Wuji rescued the expert from the Ruijin Flag, Wu Jincao, he had met the Emei Sect, so Zhou Zhiruo must know Zhang Wuji’s true identity. With the Five Elders of Kongtong defeated, who among the disciples of the six great sects would dare to interrupt and confront Zhang Wuji rashly? The Abbot of Shaolin, Master Kongwen, stepped forward! Yet! In the face of “Great Qi Shift,” not only was the Dragon Claw Technique broken, but Master Kongwen was also defeated by Zhang Wuji’s newly learned version of the technique and had to retreat in shame. The six great sects were shocked! If even the abbot, a divine monk, could be defeated by Zhang Wuji, who among them could stand against him? As the situation seemed about to turn, Xian Yutong, the leader of the Huashan Sect, stepped forward. Kai Xin had a flash of inspiration—this was her chance! However, as soon as Xian Yutong appeared, with a seemingly insignificant move, the Zi Wu Soul-Piercing Nail was already aimed at Zhang Wuji’s Thuanzhong acupoint, followed by his wild laughter… Once the Zi Wu Soul-Piercing Nail struck a vital point, the victim could survive at most three hours! Meng Yun reacted faster, warning loudly before anyone else, “Leader Xian, be careful! That kid only has minor injuries—nothing serious!” “Nonsense.” Unexpectedly, Xian Yutong was too confident in himself. Hearing someone in the crowd say his technique was inaccurate, anger flashed across his face. Zhang Wuji seized the opportunity to use “Great Qi Shift,” causing the Zi Wu Soul-Piercing Nail to fly back and strike Xian Yutong like lightning. His face turned pale, and he began to spit blood nonstop. “It’s a shame the First-Class Hall got the upper hand,” Mo Mo said with regret. At such times, any faction might hide plot-related tasks or gain the favor of the leaders of the six great sects. But Kai Xin glanced at the injured Xian Yutong and smiled, “It’s fine. If the plot isn’t changed, there’s no reward. The people from the First-Class Hall think they can change everything with just a few words—they underestimate this task.” “What do you mean?” Gu Feng’s eyes lit up. Kai Xin lowered her voice:

“If they step forward personally to resolve this difficulty for Xianyu Tong, they might gain his attention. But just speaking won’t change anything; there will be no gains, and the system task isn’t stupid enough to let them answer first.”
The two glanced toward Mengyun, and indeed, Xueyi’s expression looked poor, instantly filling them with realization.
However!
Saving Xianyu Tong from Zhang Wuji’s grasp was far too risky—neither Mengyun nor Xueyi from Yipin Tang would ever do such a thing.
With the Huashan Sect defeated, only Wudang and Emei remained in the arena!
“It’s Emei’s turn.”
Kai Xin exchanged a look with Mo Mo and Gu Feng.
Although the six major sects were at a disadvantage in the novel, they were after all provoked by Cheng Kun and could be considered victims as well. Even if they despised Emei’s Master Mu Jue, since they had chosen Emei, they had to stand by them and protect Master Mu Jue’s reputation.
“Then, it’s Emei’s turn to take the lead!”
Under the pressure from Song Yuanqiao of Wudang, Master Mu Jue stepped out from among the six major sects, and everyone’s gaze immediately focused on the Heaven-Piercing Sword in her hands.
Alas…
Though Master Mu Jue of Emei was highly skilled and wielded a divine weapon, her sword strikes were still no match for Zhang Wuji’s.
In less than a hundred exchanges, a palm strike sent her flying, causing her to drop her divine weapon!
On the Emei side, Ding Minjun, Bei Jinyi, and Zhou Zhiruo all paled and soared into the air, aiming for Emei’s sacred treasure—the Heaven-Piercing Sword!
But someone else rushed out of Emei’s camp at the same time.
Zhang Wuji’s momentum didn’t slow.
Seeing four people from Emei emerge with extraordinary footwork, he first kicked Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi back. Kai Xin caught Master Mu Jue first, preventing her from falling disgracefully, then leaped into the air with lightning-fast movement, stretching out his arms to save the two women.
“Thank you, Senior Kai Xin.”
“Thank you, Young Master Kai Xin.”
Although they didn’t get the Heaven-Piercing Sword, they left a good impression on Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi.
Kai Xin remained calm, turned around, and stared fixedly at the sky. There, he saw Zhou Zhiruo holding the Heaven-Piercing Sword. Zhang Wuji indeed showed mercy, his face filled with nostalgic excitement…
Among the crowd, Mengyun and Xueyi frowned deeply: They hadn’t only failed to save Huashan Sect leader Xianyu Tong but also allowed Kai Xin to successfully intervene in the mission.
However!
Confronting Zhang Wuji head-on probably wouldn’t yield any benefits.
