The Saber's Cry
The seven people on the spirit boat had all sensed the intense killing intent.
It was cold, eerie, and powerful, sending chills down one's spine.
They didn't know who the attacker was, but to possess such a terrifying aura and to be able to set up such a powerful formation that they had unknowingly entered it, this person's strength was on a completely different level from theirs!
Both the bald young man and Yu Chi Wei were highly tense, their foreheads beaded with sweat.
The two sisters, Chu Ke'er and Chu Qing'er, were both deathly pale.
"Who is it? A high-ranking member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"
The bald youth's voice trembled slightly; such a strong killing intent suggested that it wasn't as simple as just letting them live...
If they were truly high-ranking members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, how could they possibly have the ability to resist? Wouldn't they be completely at the mercy of others?
"Senior Brother Jiang!"
Chu Ke'er looked at Yi Yun, and she didn't expect that what Yi Yun said would actually come true!
They didn't believe it at first, but now that the enemy had trapped them in the great formation and the killing intent was palpable, they had no choice but to believe it.
What surprised them the most was that, since Yi Yun had anticipated this, he did not join the Heavenly Blood Alliance. Instead, he calmly left Absolute Sword Mountain with them.
Even now, he hasn't shown any sign of panic.
Looking at Yi Yun now, he has his hand on the hilt of his knife, sensing the surrounding area. Although he is vigilant, he shows no fear.
"You knew all along that they were going to attack us, yet you still left like this... You don't actually think you can stand up to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, do you?"
The bald young man asked Yi Yun in disbelief.
Yi Yun is indeed powerful, but against the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, he would be doomed; they are simply not on the same level!
Yi Yun glanced at the bald youth who had spoken and said calmly, "Of course I can't deal with the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but you only attacked a few of us juniors. Do you really think that the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance leadership would gather here?"
Gather?
The bald young man swallowed hard. Did they really need to gather everyone? One wasn't enough!
Just then...
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, everyone felt a tremendous tearing force, followed by a violent explosion. A valuable spirit boat was blown to pieces in mid-air!
The energy currents surged wildly, and the vital energy raged uncontrollably. In such a terrifying storm, everyone felt as if their bodies were about to be torn to pieces.
Their spirit boat was torn apart by an immense force!
"Ah!"
Chu Ke'er let out a scream. Among the crowd, her cultivation was the weakest, only at the peak of the Origin Foundation Realm. She couldn't even withstand such a storm, let alone fight with others.
Just when she thought her body was about to be torn apart, a barrier of primordial energy descended and enveloped her.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of explosive sounds and violent energy clashed against the energy barrier, shattering it.
Chu Ke'er paled, but thankfully escaped unscathed.
She was still in shock, her chest heaving violently.
She looked at Yi Yun, her pretty face pale.
"Thank you... thank you, Senior Brother Jiang..."
At this moment, Chu Ke'er panicked. The change was too sudden. She had grown up in a large Lineage since childhood. She was not exactly a hothouse flower, but she had not experienced much life-and-death combat. How could she withstand such a scene?
It would be quite remarkable if a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wasn't completely terrified in such a situation.
"Mind your own business, I won't be able to look after you for a while."
Yi Yun didn't want to involve these people, but if he didn't bring them along, they would only suffer a worse fate if the Martial Arts Alliance targeted them.
Their decision not to join the Heavenly Blood Alliance was a wise one, but they will have to pay a price for it.
The only problem is that they joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
At this moment, the space in front of everyone began to twist strangely, forming a pitch-black spatial gate.
Four figures in white emerged from the portal.
These four men in white wore empty robes, their bodies were thin, and their faces were distorted and pale, like vengeful ghosts.
"The Space Law!"
"White Robe Guard!"
The bald youth and Yu Chi Wei spoke up almost simultaneously.
The White Robe Guard are the people within the Martial Arts Alliance responsible for carrying out punishments; they are cold-blooded, ruthless, and incredibly powerful.
But the White Robe Guard they usually saw all looked normal, nothing like the strange people who had just appeared!
These four people didn't seem like living people at all; they exuded an aura of death that sent chills down one's spine.
"This is terrible! It's White Robe Guard who understands the Space Law, and they seem to be even more powerful than the White Robe Guard we usually see. The Space Law... are unpredictable and mysterious. They can traverse the void and open spatial gates at will. We don't even have a sliver of hope of escaping!"
The bald young man was in despair. The White Robe Guard were already terrifying enough, but then there were the Space Law. What was he going to do?
"The Space Law aren't as scary as they seem."
Yi Yun shook his head calmly. The Space-Time Law were indeed powerful, but among the three thousand great laws, they belonged to the second level.
The Yin Yang Law is also at the second level, with not much difference.
However, in the Tianyuan Realm, the Space-Time Law are feared, but that's because the inheritance of the Space-Time Law in the Tianyuan Realm is almost severed, so the martial artists of the Tianyuan Realm have no understanding of the Space-Time Law and do not know how to deal with them.
As a result, when facing opponents who understand the Space-Time Law, the warriors of the Tianyuan Realm are constantly restrained in battle.
Four White Robe Guard coldly stared at Yi Yun and his group of seven, their eerie green eyes flashing with a fiery light.
"You have blasphemed Divine Lord, you deserve to die!"
One of the White Robe Guard spoke, his voice extremely hoarse and chilling, unlike anything a human could produce.
Chu Ke'er and Chu Qing'er huddled together, their hands clasped tightly, their hair soaked with sweat.
Yu Chi Wei held a long spear, the tip of which trembled slightly.
What Divine Lord? What blasphemy? What are they even talking about!
"Are you really from the Martial Arts Alliance?"
The other party's strange words and voice made Yu Chi Wei doubt whether they were actually members of the Martial Arts Alliance.
"Don't waste your energy, they're not living people at all, they're... Corpse Fiend!"
Yi Yun drew his Ancient Dust Saber, its blade gleaming with a cold light.
As he came into contact with the Blood Moon, he increasingly realized that a significant portion of the Blood Moon's fighting force were not living people.
They are ghosts created from the souls and bodies of various spirits, such as Yin Sha and Corpse Fiend.
The greatest advantage of these ghosts is their ability to remain in a deep slumber for extended periods, only waking up when needed.
This has many advantages. First, it allows you to accumulate strength and then unleash it at a certain point in time.
Secondly, the organization can exist more secretly, which is why the Blood Moon tradition has remained unknown for millions of years.
It is an organization composed of many Yin and Corpse Fiend) sleeping underground in coffins.
The few survivors within the Blood Moon infiltrate the Martial Arts Alliance, existing in the form of the Martial Arts Alliance itself. Most members of the Martial Arts Alliance are completely unaware that the Martial Arts Alliance is controlled by the Blood Moon.
Only a very small number of high-ranking officials know this.
Even now, many leaders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance are unaware that they are not actually loyal to the Martial Arts Alliance, but to the Blood Moon.
Most of the contracts they signed were with the Blood Moon!
These people probably really believe that their Heavenly Dao Alliance is there to help humanity overcome the catastrophe.
"Not a living person?"
Yu Chi Wei was stunned.
In his mind, Yin Sha and Corpse Fiend were evil things that only evil forces would cultivate.
Although the Martial Arts Alliance is domineering, it is ultimately a righteous force. Why would it cultivate such sinister and evil beings?
Yi Yun ignored Yu Chi Wei and instead looked at the spatial portal behind the four Corpse Fiend, gently shaking his head. "Since you've come, why not show yourself and only send four Corpse Fiend? It seems you think fighting me would be beneath your dignity, so you want to subdue me with Corpse Fiend."
Yi Yun smiled slightly; this was the confidence and pride of the Martial Arts Alliance's higher-ups.
In their eyes, they were just a talented junior and didn't deserve much attention.
"Waaaaah--"
The four Corpse Fiend suddenly let out a mournful wail.
They all pounced on Yi Yun!
A chilling wind howled, and countless ghosts wailed. From the four Corpse Fiend, a large number of souls flew out, turning the entire sky pitch black!
These souls were all living souls devoured by the Corpse Fiend during the refining Corpse Fiend, carrying immense resentment and bitterness.
These resentments spread outwards, impacting the soul's sea!
Yu Chi Wei and the other five felt a splitting headache amidst the storm of ghostly spirits, utterly powerless to resist. They were filled with despair and almost resigned to their fate.
And just then...
Clang--!!
A crisp clang of the blade, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, resounded through the ears!
Yu Chi Wei and the other five felt as if hundreds of morning bells and evening drums were ringing in their ears in an instant. The tremendous sound shook their hearts and made them instantly awake.
Then, they saw a flash of cold light, which, in the pitch-black sky shrouded by ghosts, was like a galaxy falling from the heavens!
A blade of light sliced through heaven and earth.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a series of explosions, the souls of the dead flying in the sky shattered into essence, and the blade's light, unstoppable, advanced straight in.
Snap!
A single horizontal slash cleaved through the void!
The four Corpse Fiend were caught off guard and were cut in half mid-air!
The two in the very center exploded completely, blasting into countless black body parts and white fragments.
The remaining two Corpse Fiend were also cleaved in half by the fierce blade light. They tumbled and flew backward, their vital energy severely damaged!
"Um!?"
After Yi Yun's strike, a gloomy voice suddenly echoed in the void, filled with surprise and astonishment.
"You actually... kept this hidden for so long?"
The spatial fluctuations grew increasingly violent, and a man dressed in a black robe slowly stepped out of the spatial portal.
He stood in mid-air, emanating a terrifying aura, like a king descending upon the night.
He wore a dark gold mask on his face, the mask's features were hollow, and it conveyed coldness and indifference!
Behind this man followed a thin, wiry man with hair like dry straw. He looked at Yi Yun as if he were looking at prey, a wicked smile on his face, just like a venomous snake looking at its prey.
Upon seeing the two people, Yi Yun's lips curled up slightly. They had finally come out, but not alone, but in pairs.
