Busy Irrigating the Fields; Updates Resume Tonight / Chapter 773: Backstabbing Expert ...

And now, as the vanguard, having anchored the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm] waterway, they have finally returned to their homeland after five hundred years.

Although it's a bit late, these ignorant people on Earth, who should have submitted to the Lieyang, are being given a great blessing.

But to make a name for oneself in the Tiandao Palace, these are far from enough. [Dragon Blood]! And also, the key to [that place], which even the Emperor Lord keeps secret!

These gifts, when combined, will have a real effect.

What else did the Emperor Lord?

"Your mission represents the might of the Lieyang, and I hereby bestow upon you a talisman to ensure your safety. Remember, be careful in your words and actions!"

As the deafening voice echoed in his mind, Ma Yanqing's thoughts surged. A dark red flame exploded deep within his consciousness, instantly spreading like wildfire. The space woven from the intricate memories before him crumbled instantly!

When Ma Yanqing looked ahead through the scattered clusters of dark red flames, he was surprised to find a handsome white-haired man playing with a small jade talisman sword, leaning against the rock wall with his head slightly raised.

"Tsk tsk, that old codger in the Tiandao Palace actually set up mental warning systems and Space Anchor deep within your memories. He miscalculated..."

"It seems they're also wary of you traitors tampering with the Gate of the Heavenly Realm..."

Kevin rubbed his throbbing temples, sifting through the memories he had gleaned from the other person's mind after the collapse of the Mind Palace.

He then glanced at the two who were trying to appear calm, and grinned, revealing a cold, almost ferocious smile.

"You know Immortal Vermillion Bird, right? I'm here to clean house for someone else..."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't die a quick and painful death..."

"So, who wants to go first?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yanqing and Qin Suyin's expressions changed drastically, their faces turning deathly pale. Almost simultaneously, they transformed into sword lights and retreated rapidly towards the outer cave entrance.

Chapter 808: Irrigation during the busy farming season. Updates will resume tonight.

During the busy farming season, irrigation, well construction, and pipe installation all require manpower, so people can't stay idle.

Yesterday, too many people used electricity to irrigate their fields, causing frequent power outages in the village. I couldn't stay up late last night, so I apologize. I will resume updates tonight.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will maintain two updates per day for now. I currently owe eight updates, but I will make up for them after this period.

Chapter 773 Backstab Expert (Section 809)

Trying to run away?

Kevin frowned and snorted coldly, then curled his fingers to pull the Skyfire Greatsword out of the Spatial Rift and casually slashed forward.

In an instant, flames surged, the surrounding space twisted and piled up, and under the pull of the earth's vein power, it transformed into a furious dragon covered in wounds, eager to devour and tear the two people in front of it to pieces.

"The two polarities of Yin and Yang, life and death, illusion and destruction!"

The fleeing sword light slowed down abruptly, becoming increasingly precarious. Then, a broadsword radiating flames and an ancient, golden greatsword emerged from the sword light.

The two intersect and differentiate, forming a Tai Chi diagram of Yin and Yang in flux. The black and white energies push downwards towards the dragon's head, seemingly slow but actually rapid.

"Boom!"

A dull rumble swept in, and earth and rocks fell from the cave, spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards. Fortunately, the place was extremely sturdy because it had been imbued with the power of the Ancestral Vein for many years.

The two sword masters, who had been attacking with all their might, staggered back several steps, their bodies embedding themselves several inches into the rock wall before finally stopping their momentum.

The surging blood and qi, along with the sweet, metallic taste in their mouths, filled them with unparalleled horror and fear.

Ma Yanqing, who was the first to react, hurriedly raised her hand, lowered her posture, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Tai Xu Sword Qi! Sword Intent Remains! Hold your hand! You and we are of the same lineage; there must be some misunderstanding!"

Kevin slightly raised his eyes and stepped forward without a care. With each step he took, the energy around him resonated more deeply with the circulation of the Ancestral Dragon Vein.

Gravel, dust, withered branches, a gentle breeze, and even water droplets on the rock face all floated around Kevin under this influence, each condensing into a sword-shaped sword intent, like a series of drawn swords pointing at the two people in front of them.

Ma Yanqing and Qin Suyin felt a sharp, stinging pain all over their skin, as if everything around them was targeting them.

The Pursuer's every step felt like they were stepping on their hearts, causing the protective sword light around them to flicker and vanish.

"The Tai Xu Seven Swords? No mistake! You're the ones I've been looking for!"

"Although our master has passed away, we hope that out of consideration for our past ties, you will allow us to die knowing why."

Ma Yanqing remained composed and dignified, enduring the pressure and pleading through gritted teeth, but out of the corner of her eye, she unconsciously glanced at a fork in the cave.

Tsk, all bark and no bite, all bravado and cowardice. You think you can buy time with this tactic?

Kevin snorted and shook his head, his brows furrowed as he stared coldly, when a series of whooshing sounds echoed around them.

Several pebbles, enveloped in sword energy, shot towards Ma Yanqing, easily tearing apart his protective sword light and leaving several bloody marks on the man's cheek.

Kevin glanced at the Sixth Sword Master, whose cheek was bleeding but who remained bowed, and a ferocious grin spread across his face.

"Back when Vermillion Bird first joined the team, I was the one who taught her how to hold a sword. She even withstood the Herrscher's Arrival of the Finality, but she fell to you bunch of good students. Looks like I, as the captain, will have to get revenge..."

"There are no outsiders here, so stop pretending. It's tiring. If I were you, I'd run away as fast as I can..."

Kevin immediately lost interest in the cat-and-mouse game, swung his sword forward, and a torrent of sword energy swept over him.

Having his deepest secret exposed, Ma Yanqing extinguished his last shred of hope. As he gripped the hilt of his sword, he shouted a warning to Qin Suyin beside him.

"Junior sister, you go first! Quickly!"

"Take care, Sixth Senior Brother!"

Startled awake, Qin Suyin immediately turned around, her sword light gathering as she rushed towards the side passage of the cave.

"Puff!"

At the same time, a dark red sword tip pierced through Qin Suyin's abdomen. Caught off guard, the Master of the Fragrant Sword turned her head stiffly and looked behind her in disbelief.

"Junior sister, may you rest in peace..."

In the instant their bodies parted, Ma Yanqing, his eyes bloodshot and grinning maliciously, followed up, whispering a sinister word to Qin Suyin before kicking her body toward the Flame Light behind them.

When being chased by a tiger in the forest, you don't need to outrun the tiger; you just need to be a step faster than your companions!

Tsk, as expected of a standout who emerged from a chaotic era, deeply versed in the essence of Machiavellianism, his chosen methods are naturally clean and efficient.

Kevin glanced indifferently at Qin Suyin, whose abdomen was pierced by the Flame Greatsword and whose blood was gradually drying up, without the slightest pity. He then flicked his wrist, and blazing white flames rose up.

The Seventh Sword Master was instantly reduced to ashes, and Ma Yanqing, who decisively betrayed his teammates, took the opportunity to escape into the depths of the cave.

As the grayish-white fluffy substance drifted down, the righteous indignation of the brother-sister relationship that had just been displayed, coupled with the decisive stabbing at the crucial moment, all had a touch of dark humor to it all.

It doesn't matter who dies first, as long as one of them leaves to keep watch, it'll save me the trouble of searching.

Kevin tilted his head to the side, loosening his somewhat stiff neck, and followed at a leisurely pace.

The man casually stepped over the ashes, glancing in the direction Ma Yanqing had left, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Qin Suyin, you may shred her internal organs, and I may burn your body and flesh, but for the sake of such a wonderful entertainment program, let's just let this score drop.

However, you should thank Ma Yanqing, otherwise you wouldn't have died so easily.

Don't worry, he'll regret it, I promise.

Also, don't rush on your way to the underworld; I'll bring them all down soon.

Kevin murmured to himself, sensing that Ma Yanqing's aura was merging with that of the other two sword masters. He tore open space and stepped into it.

On the Ancestral Vein, on a heart-like base formed by five-colored rocks, Lin Zhaoyu and Su Mei were startled awake from their meditation by the strange noise.

"Senior sisters, a formidable enemy has invaded! Seventh Junior Sister has already fallen victim to a terrible attack! We urge you both to join forces to defend against the enemy!"

"I'll go to the Sword Dancing Ground right away and inform Sushang, as well as the three senior sisters guarding the Gate of the Heavenly Realm, to rush to their aid as soon as possible!"

"Sushang has the emergency communication authority to directly contact Princess Reina. In case things go wrong, we still have a way out!"

Ma Yanqing spoke urgently, explaining the emergency situation in just a few words, and making arrangements that showed his thorough consideration.

"My Seventh Junior Sister died because of me. Protecting Sushang is my duty!"

The man spoke earnestly, his expression filled with grief. Before Lin Zhaoyu and Su Mei could respond, he transformed into a beam of sword light and vanished.

Seventh Junior Sister, I will accept your favor and treat Su Yi as my own daughter from now on.

Ma Yanqing erected a sword energy barrier, broke through the gale, and rushed to the mountaintop. While feigning admiration, he secretly made plans in his heart.

Ascending a thousand meters in an instant, Ma Yanqing didn't even notice the approaching figure, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After deciding to take Li Sushang away, he immediately joined up with the two Miao beauties guarding the Gate of the Heavenly Realm and Ling Shuang, who had the highest Ling Shuang.

As for the previously promised return rescue... haha, don't be naive.

Even his master Vermillion Bird, was once his subordinate. They swallowed dragon blood and cultivated for a thousand years, but in just two encounters, one died and the other fled, completely powerless to fight back.

That guy is a monster! Anyone who gets involved with him dies first! Only a high-ranking divine general from the Tiandao Palace would be qualified to rival him.

He rushed to the meditation room where his two senior sisters were cultivating, intending to divert the trouble and buy himself time to escape.

"Better to sacrifice a friend than myself." Since this is about cleaning up the sect, the person behind me probably prefers to have as many acquaintances as possible.

Chapter 774, Section 810: Mythical Invasion!

Of course, the shrewd and calculating Ma Yanqing had a complete plan for how to relocate and protect himself.

As Di Lena's Sword Attendant, Li Sushang was quite likable due to her talent and personality, which allowed her to indirectly enter the core power circle of the Tiandao Palace.

First, as long as you have her under your control, the Heavenly Palace will rescue this important figure immediately after its arrival, greatly increasing your own safety.

Secondly, even if the trip yields nothing and the mission is a disaster, Li Sushang can still use Di Lena's connections to help her "uncle" clear his name after returning to Lieyang Star.

After all, with his mother gone and the Seven Great Sword Masters suffering heavy losses, he was the most trustworthy "uncle" who had repeatedly shown goodwill and was entrusted with a task by his Seventh Junior Sister on her deathbed.

Unfortunately, if Lin Zhaoyu, who was absorbing Earth Qi and dragon blood within the Ancestral Vein, had been replaced by Ling Shuang, who had the highest Ling Shuang level, the result would have been even more perfect.

This fifth disciple of Taixu was Li Sushang's mentor, and his relationship with that girl was no closer than that of Ma Yanqing.

If she were to "unfortunately" die at the hands of her enemies, then Sushang Chang would only have him to rely on.

Moreover, Lin Zhaoyu was once his wife. Although their relationship had been strained for many years and their marriage existed in name only, it was still better than having Ling Shuang's interference.

Forget it, the urgent matter must be addressed first. Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Eldest Senior Sister, don't blame me for not showing any mercy.

Ma Yanqing broke through the clouds and mist, lit up his sword talisman, and entered the Sword Dancing Ground. He seemed somewhat relieved, but then he glanced towards the core of the earth vein with a feigned expression of melancholy and sorrow.

"My niece, Sushang, something terrible has happened..."

At the same time, the Ancestral Vein land.

Lin Zhaoyu's eyes dimmed, and his soft sword "Light Dust Willow" shattered inch by inch, turning into specks of golden light that scattered from the hilt down. Meanwhile, a mass-produced Xuanyuan Sword pierced through the brow of this Taixu chief disciple.

Su Mei retreated repeatedly, her expression filled with fear. She never expected that with just one sword strike, her Eldest Senior Sister, with whom she had fought for many years, would perish.

"Don't kill me, I'll do anything for you..."

Her experience of serving as a slave in the Tiandao Palace for thousands of years had long since worn down the pride and spirit she had accumulated on Mount Tai Xu, and she had even lost the courage to resist.

For this second sword master, staying alive was more important than anything else.

Kevin's male identity reminded Su Mei of her remaining bargaining chips. She immediately swayed her hips forward, tore open her bra, lifted her dark red hair, and exuded a seductive aura.

The Judgment Angel reached out and pulled the mass-produced Xuanyuan Sword from between Lin Zhaoyu's eyebrows, flicking the red and white stains onto the rock wall, and a chilling aura spread.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I'll repay you for how you treated Fu Hua. It's fair.

However, indulging in some light entertainment seems like a good option.

Kevin glanced at the fleeting glint of light deep between Lin Zhaoyu's brows, then dropped the Xuanyuan Sword and carefully examined Su Mei at that moment.

Even in the face of death, her clothes remained impeccably dressed and spotless, and she still had the mind to seduce.

Yes, she is very confident in her appearance. In terms of appearance, she seems to be a perfectionist with a slightly obsessive personality.

"Want to live? Stop with the underhanded tactics. I hate this face..."

Kevin leaned down and pinched Su Mei's cheek with a smile. His free left hand casually picked up a dark red, spiked sword, bent his fingers to break off the small tip, and handed it to Su Mei, whose face was ashen.

After a brief internal struggle, as Kevin slowly withdrew the Flame Greatsword, Su Mei finally steeled herself, closed her eyes in Affliction, and slashed several bloody marks onto her beautiful face.

Living is more important than anything else. As long as we can safely return to the Tiandao Palace, repairing some physical injuries will be a piece of cake.
