Clever Move

Fifteen minutes ago.

Eighteen miles west of the island.

The enormous, shuttle-shaped Sword Ship drifted on the smooth, open sea, isolated and solitary, without a reflection, as if it did not exist in this world.

After kicking Xiao Ran, Lingzhou Yue suddenly felt a little dizzy, so she sat cross-legged on the stone table and kept drinking to recover her energy.

She didn't know if it was because she had drunk too much, but at some point, she felt that she was not sitting on a boat or at sea, but surrounded by the Wraith.

The entire sky was filled with Spirit Severing -like, ethereal Wraith, obscuring the sun and creating an apocalyptic scene.

A woman in Red Clothes with a cold and aloof expression, who seemed vaguely familiar, was trapped in the darkness, unable to extricate herself.

She danced gracefully in the air, splattering blood as she relentlessly slashed at the Wraith with her sword...

"That's a good thing too. If we can kill all these Wraith, we might be able to defeat Senior Sister Ling Zhou!"

Me? Who is this woman? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, but it feels like it happened a long time ago, or like it happened just yesterday.

The woman underestimated the number of Wraith. Wraith seemed to be multiplying and could not be killed off no matter how hard she tried. Meanwhile, her Spiritual Power was nearing its limit, and she risked being killed by the Netherworld Hands if she was not careful.

Lingzhou Yue wanted to save people, but inexplicably felt her body was very heavy, as if she was about to sink into an abyss and be ripped from the world.

She used all her strength to barely manage to rise into the air, and suddenly drew her sword.

She unleashed one of her favorite sword techniques from her teenage years—

"Crescent Moon".

The powerful sword energy transformed into a bright arc of light, resembling Crescent Moon, which hung prominently above the Wraith.

As if drawn by a tremendous gravitational pull, it drew countless Wraith from the vicinity, like moths drawn to a flame, burning in the cold moonlight.

The girl in Red Clothes, due to excessive spiritual energy release, had her Pill Wall crack, collapsed from exhaustion, and fell from the sky.

Lingzhou Yue flashed forward and wrapped her arms around her.

A blue robe fluttered in the scorching dust of the Wraith, and a beautiful face was reflected in the girl's eyes.

"I am indeed far inferior to you... Senior Sister."

For some reason, upon seeing the girl's Dantian shattered, Lingzhou Yue panicked and said, "Don't speak, I'll transfer my spiritual energy to you."

The girl's eyes were glazed over, and her lips were parted as she tried to open them.

"This is nothing like you, Senior Sister. Your hands are trembling, and your eyes are looking at someone else."

Lingzhou Yue remembered something.

I often see you at the academy, what's your name?

With a sweet smile, she said, her pale lips curved into a smile, "Oriental Xuan Ye."

Lingzhou Yue frowned slightly and sighed:

"So your name also contains the character for 'night'..."

Just as they were talking about night, Lingzhou Yue suddenly woke up.

Looking around, I realized I was still at sea and that it was all a dream.

He spread his divine sense but could not find Xiao Ran's location, and even the Bone of the Blood Moon did not react.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly noticed a huge, phantom image of a woman in Red Clothes hovering in mid-air.

She looked exactly like the girl in my dream, but her amber eyes no longer held adoration; instead, they held resentment.

"You've finally come to find me, Lingzhou Yue."

It's that troublesome woman again! Lingzhou Yue said coldly:

"I didn't come here to see you."

The woman's melancholy eyes still held a hint of admiration and appreciation.

"It's so lovely and enviable. Senior sister, you look much prettier than me in Red Clothes... It's a pity that the person you're thinking of is already dead."

Huh? Lingzhou Yue suddenly realized she was still dreaming. She raised her hand, drew her sword, and cleaved the Red Clothes phantom in the air with a single strike.

The sea breeze blew on the Red Clothes soaked with sweat.

Lingzhou Yue tilted her head back and drank the wine in one gulp, but she couldn't taste any wine at all.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ran asked from beside him.

Lingzhou Yue didn't want to talk about her nightmares.

"Fine."

Xiao Ran suddenly clutched his chest and said, "But I have something to do."

In the blink of an eye, blood gushed from his chest, seeping into his entire body and staining his blue robes red.

Lingzhou Yue frowned, suddenly understood, and kicked Xiao Ran away.

"Give up, Xuan Ye. I'm not as smart and great as you think. Your illusions are useless against me."

A female voice, like a haunting nightmare, echoed from the air.

"Your obsession runs even deeper than your apprentice's."

What obsession do I have?

Lingzhou Yue pursed her lips, shook her head, and tilted her head back to drink.

However, what was poured out of the Wine Bamboo Tube...

It's all blood.

Fresh blood trickled down his neck, staining his entire body.

Sudden!

A tremor emanating from the Bone of the Blood Moon instantly spread throughout her body, reaching the depths of her Dantian, where it condensed into a vortex within her profound Qi Sea.

The vortex instantly drew away her Spiritual Power!

She shuddered violently, her legs trembling, and her Spiritual Power was almost completely drained.

What's this kid up to? Xiao Ran's Resonance and spirit extraction awakened Lingzhou Yue from the layers of nested illusions! Looking up, she saw the sky filled with giant, dark dragons, densely packed and blotting out the sun.

It felt like I was still in a dream.

Look closely, and you'll see Liu Hanzhen and the Xuan Yuan Family fighting the dragons in the air.

On the beach, Xiao Ran almost drained her Spiritual Power with one blow, but Xiao Ran herself did not receive any replenishment and her body became exhausted.

She was even threatened by Tantai You...

How embarrassing! In a flash, he arrived at the beach, patted the young man wearing the Extermination Wraith Robe who seemed to be hiding great power, and patted him on the shoulder.

And who are you?

Although she only drank alcohol in the illusion, her voice still carried the smell of alcohol, slightly tipsy and languid.

This was unintentional, but to the listener, the tone was far too domineering, the kind of tone only a powerful person with strength above everyone else would have.

Tantai You's face darkened, a glint of sword light flashing in his blood-red eyes. He quickly suppressed his aura and coldly said:

"Wraith Punishment Bureau, Tantai You, we've met before."

"I've never heard of this name before."

Although they traveled together on the Dao Alliance Hunting Boat, Lingzhou Yue clearly didn't care about the name or identity of the little follower next to Liu Hanzhen.

"Wait... Isn't Tantai the surname of Four Great Families? I thought all the decent men in the Four Great Families had been slaughtered."

A decent man...

Tantai You turned around and bowed slightly.

"Elder Lingzhou flatters me."

Lingzhou Yue, however, changed the subject, sipping her wine and saying:

"If someone with your strength is still alive, then you must have killed the others? What, killing your own people isn't enough, now you want to turn on your colleagues?"

Feeling slightly pressured, Tantai You quickly explained:

"That matter was part of the plan of the Wraith Punishment Bureau. I Wraith Punishment Bureau merely a sword in their hands."

Lingzhou Yue replied, "I don't believe you unless you draw your sword and let me see."

Tantai You felt looked down upon, but he still resisted the urge to draw his sword.

Not only Lingzhou Yue, but Xiao Ran behind her was also very strange. He actually put an Ancient Jade Python the Body Integration Realm into his Space Ring right in front of him, but he couldn't find the python's location at all.

This master and disciple pair is too strange; we must not act rashly.

"I will not draw my sword on a wounded woman."

As he said this, Tantai You flashed forward, drew his sword, and charged towards the dragons in the air.

Xiao Ran, being quick-witted and skillful, hurried over to help his Master.

He never expected that his Master would be able to outwit his opponent, overwhelming him with sheer force of will.

She looked up again at Tantai You's back.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but for a fleeting moment, he felt that this guy had actually considered drawing his sword against his Master for the sake of the White Dragon, and had seriously calculated the odds of winning...

He even felt that this person's hidden power was no less than that of his Master.

However, his Master was too famous and there were too many legends about him. He was unsure of his Master's strength, so even though he was injured, he dared not act rashly.

Perhaps, they were also wary of him, this extraordinary man who could capture a dragon with his bare hands...

Who exactly is Tantai You?

Why are you so concerned about the White Dragon?

She had previously hinted at the ring belonging to Xiao Ran. Could it be that she cared about him? Xiao Ran always felt that the people from the Four Great Families were always eccentric.

For example, Gentleman from the Nanmen Family killed his clansmen and left the family when he was young. He joined the Black Ring Group, but he suppressed his Cultivation Level study various Cultivation Method, or rather, unorthodox methods.

Wu Yu was also said to be a member of the Xiahou Family, Four Great Families. He later left the family. He was weak, but his luck was ridiculously strong.

Tantai You, who had slaughtered all the powerful Four Great Families and left his clan in glory, still retained the surname Tantai and concealed a power that was not commensurate with his age.

Everyone here is an oddball!

This piqued Xiao Ran's interest in another young man from the Four Great Families, Huyan Xue, who spearheaded the massacre.

Back to Master.

Xiao Ran's attack used his Netherworld Power, a combination of Serendipitous Critical Strike and Limitless Combo, making it a one-hit kill. It nearly drained his Master's Spiritual Power, causing his Master to bleed profusely and turn extremely pale.

At the same time, it can be seen that the Master's profound Qi Sea is very deep, and the deeper and narrower it is, the stronger the Spiritual Pressure is.

At a shallow level, it is Spirit Severing; at a deep level, it is close to Mahayana.

However, the extent of her Qi Sea was not as great as imagined, so much so that Xiao Ran, in order to suppress the White Dragon, actually drew it into a state close to ethereal.

Fortunately, due to the shape of her Master's Qi Sea, she was the first to recover her strongest Spiritual Pressure, and because the depths of her Qi Channel were as narrow as a needle point, she recovered her strongest combat power very quickly.

Seeing that his Master's beautiful face was as pale as frost, with a little sweat on his forehead and his temples damp with sweat, and that he was in very poor condition, she still came to save him.

Xiao Ran was deeply moved, but deliberately asked, "Master, how did you get injured?"

"You idiot..."

The four words, which she usually spoke with fury, were uttered weakly. Before she could finish speaking, Lingzhou Yue's body went limp and she collapsed into Xiao Ran's arms.

Xiao Ran picked up his Master and carried him to the west to retrieve the Sword Ship, then left the scene by boat.

Lingzhou Yue was half-conscious, her eyes closed, and she was still muttering to herself.

"You idiot... Go get the Wraith Dragon Wraith Dragon, its core is very important for your Cultivation Level."

Xiao Ran fed his Master a pill and gently stroked her lower abdomen to promote absorption of the medicine.

"I've obtained a higher-level white dragon. Now all we need to do is rest."

Lingzhou Yue jumped up and hooked her arm around Xiao Ran's neck.

Is the White Dragon valuable?

"..."

Xiao Ran glanced at the sky where the humans and dragons were engaged in fierce combat.

They discovered that the others didn't seem to mind at all that the master and apprentice had left the scene without permission.

That makes sense. You've already caught a dragon, so wouldn't it be unfair to steal it again?

Xiao Ran was certain that the Apostle did not have a true dragon body, so he was too lazy to continue paying the fees. In order to avoid gossip and focus on his honeymoon, Xiao Ran still notified Wen Yushu.

"Senior Wen, Master is injured and needs to rest in the Inner Sea for a few days. Is that alright?"

Wen Yushu couldn't figure out the situation in the Inner Sea, so he could only see the distribution of Spiritual Pressure between himself and the enemy through his armor.

"Your Spiritual Pressure indicates that you just fought an enemy. Why is Lingzhou Yue injured?"

Xiao Ran explained, "My Master came injured. He helped me catch a small dragon, and his injuries worsened."

Wen Yushu sighed.

"I didn't expect the dragon to suddenly appear in the Inner Sea. It shows that the dragon has transformed into a thousand clones. If Senior Brother Liu and the Xuan Yuan Family are unable to conquer it or encounter danger, I will help them."

Xiao Ran smiled and said:

"If we can't even defeat the divided dragon, how can we possibly wipe out the Apostle? The Wraith Core has been divided into a thousand parts, and the bombardment of the hunting ship's Array Thunder will definitely destroy Wraith Core. Perhaps they don't want your help."

Wen Yushu: "..."

Somewhere in the underground cave.

In the center of the altar.

The woman in black robes sat on the ground playing the zither, her hand hovering in mid-air, the strings all broken.

Black Zither's soul entered an absolute space.

Time and space were completely frozen; if it weren't for the connection of her own consciousness, she wouldn't even be able to think.

This is actually a space confinement spell that is even more advanced than the Black Ring!

She couldn't pinpoint Xiao Ran's location using this.

It was pitch black all around.

Without the concept of time or space, but only a spacetime confinement law, she could not obtain any useful information from it.

Who exactly is Xiao Ran?

Is there really anyone in this world who can master the Art of Resonance to that extent? Or have we underestimated him?

Why did she sense Lingzhou Yue's Spiritual Pressure just a moment ago?

What exactly is the relationship between this master and disciple? And who was that red-eyed man from earlier? Why did she have this feeling that he was both familiar and extremely dangerous? Things were becoming increasingly strange.

But with the battlefield situation unfavorable, she couldn't worry about that now.

Even though Lingzhou Yue and her master withdrew from the battlefield, Liu Hanzhen's strength seemed to be no less than hers.

The red-eyed man's strength is questionable.

In addition, there's the Xuan Yuan Family's dragon-binding support and the Ranger's spatial support...

She was outnumbered four to one and had no chance of winning.

At this moment, although they were temporarily freed from their restraints by Liu Hanzhen's sword splitting into a thousand pieces.

However, the Dragon Binding Inscription pattern was still scattered and imprinted on her body, and she was barely holding on by relying entirely on her Netherworld power.

The Jade Python, with its even stronger spatial magic, was imprisoned by Xiao Ran, making it difficult for the thousand-headed dragon to even escape.

The rest of the dragon's body hasn't been fused with the Netherworld yet, so they're just there to be given away for free. We can't use our best skills in such a small place, can we?

Seeing themselves in dire straits, the Primate disregarded their pride and immediately sought help from the Black Ring Group.

[Primate: Gentleman, where are you?]

[Gentleman: I just arrived at the Holy Mountain.]

[Primate: Come to the Inner Sea, my Azure Serpent clone is trapped and I need your help.]

When asked for help by Primate, Gentleman suddenly felt much more important, but she still couldn't hide her shock.

[Gentleman: How is that possible? Putting aside the immense Wraith Pressure, your spatial magic far surpasses mine. To trap the Azure Python's clone, you'd need at least a master of equal strength to Lingzhou Yue present, plus a spatial magic expert.]

[Primate: Not only these two experts, but also Xuan Yuan Longcheng is here.]

The eldest elder of the Xuan Yuan Family, the old man who inherited the mantle of Ancestor Xuan Yuan, the Dragon-Binding Elder?

Gentleman: I'm coming right now.

The open sea.

A violent storm raged, with towering waves.

Two streams of sword energy enveloped bubbles that sped underwater.

It was none other than Real Person Luo Mi and Qi Ming from the Great River Gate.

"Senior Uncle, have we taken the wrong path? Senior Wen said to take a shortcut to the underground cave, but this seems to be the road to the Inner Sea."

"Look closely, not only Lingzhou Yue apprentice, but also the Xuan Yuan Family and Liu Hanzhen are in the Inner Sea."

"Why?"

"The Xuan Yuan Family disappeared for a time, but now they have suddenly reappeared in the Inner Sea. What do you think is the reason?"

"You mean... a giant dragon appeared in the Inner Sea, and Wen Yushu deliberately sent us away, so only the Xuan Yuan Family, with their keen senses, found the dragon!"

"It's just a guess... Anyway, there's no harm in going to take a look."

"Senior Uncle."

On the other side.

Xiao Ran and his Master had traveled thousands of miles away from the battlefield by boat and were resting on a picturesque island with a hot spring hotel.

Although he had only just arrived at the Apostle, Xiao Ran already felt that the trip had been worthwhile.

Because he had come up with a brilliant idea.

Since Black Zither said that the body of a true dragon can withstand the sword energy of his Master, then the jade python, which is similar to a true dragon, should also be able to withstand some sword energy when combined with his Great Wraith Wraith Core, right?

Even if he couldn't withstand all of his Master's sword energy, the sword Qi Sea that finally overflowed from his dantian and impacted the outer wall of his Dantian could be directed towards the jade python.

In this way, the jade python will ultimately be the one injured, while he can still do what he loves! Thus achieving the true meaning of the Divine Dragon Tail Swing's tail sweep...

Brilliant!
