Master of Untold Daos - Chapter 375

Chapter 375: Mind the Funeral
The saber entered the helping guard’s abdomen, letting blood splatter, yet it didn’t faze him. His dagger showed no hesitation approaching Chen Ming.

Chen Ming’s kick sent him spiraling into the wall and turning it to rubble.

But this was far from over. Heavenly Court’s buyer watched with lost eyes as the other one next to him took the spear from his back. It was adorned with faint stars. He was the fifth on the Earth Board, Star Spear. “Sir from Heavenly Court, you better leave. We won’t be responsible for what happens to you.”

Heavenly Court’s buyer knew they were from the Dark Star. Someone must have paid a heavy price to send him after Chen Ming!

As he left the courtyard he saw a six-armed fiend barreling down from the sky with a saber in each grip.

Dark Star’s Earth Board nr. 4, Six Sabers!

He had a body of a spider, honing his blade in battle to the point it was unstoppable!

These two had what it took to kill a Celestial Immortal by themselves yet they came together.

Heavenly Court’s buyer didn’t put much thought into his actions. Reason dictated he should back up Chen Ming. Providing help was his responsibility as a man from Heavenly Court. But if he died, this couldn’t be better.

He would not only complete the mission but he would gain ownership to the sole pill seller in the entire Three-headed Dragon Constellation.

The buyer surveyed the situation inside as the nearest Heavenly Court patrol was hasting towards him, “Sir, what’s happening?”

“Tell the others to ignore it. Leave!” he said while walking away.

They turned back after him, leaving Chen Ming the only one to deal with the assassins.

Star Spear laughed, “I used to think hall lord overestimated you but your strength is impressive. With us three here, don’t even dream of escaping!”

Chen Ming glanced at their danger values, 27000, a thorny bunch.

He peaked over his spiritual knowledge account and spoke in his heart, “Bring all Dao Palaces to the Aspect stage.”

One by one, his Dao Palaces shifted as aspects took shape. One was a standing Buddha, another was a Bodhisattva holding a willow branch, a sword immortal gripping his sword, a Daoist passing judgment, a Buddhism fierce deity on a lotus, a sacred and pure holy maiden…

Aspects of all shapes and sizes formed within him as he spent two hundred million spiritual knowledge in one go. His spiritual power rose ever higher while his body grew even stronger!

His body was the nature’s furnace, harboring the thriving untold scriptures!

He shivered with the thrill of newfound strength. 28400 isn’t that high, but this should do.

Chen Ming figured thirty thousand was the highest for an Earth Immortal. Every thousand over 27000 would mean a great leap in power.

King Slayer Aura and Warmonger Aura activated!

Chen Ming peeked at his surroundings, There’re too many people here. If I release the Allheaven Stellar Array, it will draw unwanted attention.

High in the sky, Six Sabers brandished his blades as he fell, each of them aimed to take his life, to seal his fate!

Chen Ming reversed his grip on Two Year Cicada. Since he couldn’t avoid all of them, he’d face one head-on. The sword soul throbbed as he was about to strike, leaving black afterimages behind. As its speed doubles, Six Sabers was left at a loss, This speed is unheard of!

Chen Ming passed through the sabers. Since all his paths were barred, he was resolved into facing one of them, while escaping the rest.

Sparks flew!

Chen Ming cut the other’s blade, and the remaining momentum struck down one of Six Sabers’ arms.

Chen Ming trod on air as he flew away, under Six Sabers’ ravings, “Such gall you have, Chen Ming! As you dared to rob me of my arm, I will rob you of your life!”

Six Sabers put the broken arm into his storage ring. He would get the chance to attach it once this was over.

Chen Ming rushed out of River Office with Star Spear right behind him. Six Sabers smashed the ground with his remaining blades, propelling him on the roof where he joined the chase.

A cloud of black smoke rose from behind them, the first to aim at Chen Ming’s life, Earth Board’s number six, Hidden Blade.

Only now did the cultivators reacted, witnessing the four fleeting across the sky, “What happened? Who is brazen enough to fly on the River Office?”

“They’re Dark Star’s assassins, the sixth, fifth, and fourth on the Earth Board. It sent it’s dreadful three!”

“They’re taking this time to enact their mission knowing Heavenly Court’s guard is lax with the barring of the paths!”

“I don’t think it’s Heavenly Court’s power that lacks, but that they don’t care to begin with!”

“The target looks like Yan Mountain Financial Group’s leader, Chen Ming!”

“Without Heavenly Court’s intervention, Chen Ming is bound to fade into oblivion. An alchemy sect’s Mountain Lord is just an alchemist. And how long can an alchemist last under the relentless onslaught of three assassins?”

Chen Ming had no time to mind Heavenly Court’s crap of off-limit flying, not with its men standing aside and watching this play through.

He stepped on air, with the three hot on his heels. He was sly in using the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps, keeping the three right where he wanted.

They flew all the way to a wild mountain range, with no sign of man for lis. The River Office’s cultivators didn’t come to see the drama unfold either. In murder, the more you saw the worse it was.

Chen Ming halted in mid-air, right above a Dragon Vein, This should do.

He made hand gestures and extended his palm towards the ground. Clouds gathered with haste, making the place inscrutable from the thick mist.

In regards to a battle such as this, a Dragon Vein’ would have little use. It was better to conceal his release of stars.

Six Sabers stood on the peak across from him, cackling, “Come on, run! Why stop now?”

Star Spear and Hidden Blade, each chose a surrounding peak to corner Chen Ming.

Chen Ming snickered, “I am a man who stands to reason. Even when killing I need to mind the funeral. The Fengshui here is perfect for your journey in the afterlife!”
