Heart Demon Great Oath

Bai Qianqian's sword light disappeared extremely quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

He disappeared from Roger's sight.

Upon seeing this, Roger immediately spurred his horse and followed.

The sea of clouds in West Tallen is so vast.

Having finally bumped into a living person, we certainly couldn't let them go so easily!

Out of caution.

He did not fly on a sword.

Instead, they chose to Ride the Wind.

Anyway, it has a flight speed of 2000 points and the support of "Three-Dimensional Maneuver".

He can do whatever he wants in the sky now.

The speed of riding the wind is no slower than riding a sword.

At present.

Roger soared through the clouds like an eagle.

The Ultimate Hunter has quietly begun operations.

He followed the golden dotted line in his field of vision, breaking through the sea of clouds.

In order not to disturb the other party.

He also deliberately slowed down.

It can happen very quickly.

Roger soon realized how foolish his move had been!

"Warning: Target ' Bai Qianqian ' is about to be lost from sight!"

"Warning: Coming soon..."

"Wow, what a fast girl!"

Roger sighed inwardly.

He couldn't help but muster all his strength and chase after them.

He pushed the flight speed to its limit of 2000 points.

In the blink of an eye.

Roger's speed in riding the wind surpassed that of the female swordswoman!

This result is certainly a good thing.

At least you won't lose sight of the other party because they're flying too fast.

But the awkward part is...

Roger discovered that the other party's flight speed was also ridiculously fast.

They're only slightly inferior to me.

The two flew one after the other.

Roger probably won't be able to catch up anytime soon! He thought for a moment.

I decided to let go of my pride.

Try greeting the other person using Super-Sense Link.

Who knew he would do it three times in a row.

The sensory signals sent out all vanished into the thick clouds as if they had sunk into the sea! "The clouds here are a bit unusual..."

Braving the biting wind.

Roger followed closely behind Bai Qianqian.

While silently analyzing the surrounding situation:

"The clouds formed thick, solid blocks, almost like some kind of ' Pneumatic Barrier '!"

"This barrier has the effect of blocking perception; no wonder my ' Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing ' range is also limited!"

This discovery heightened Roger's vigilance once again.

Star Master Authority and Ascension Perception have both been weakened in this world.

This means that the waters around West Tallen might be even deeper than Roger imagined! A sea of clouds stretches as far as the eye can see.

Land of Qi Transformation can weaken True Qi qi.

And there are also mysterious fragments of Kunwu Mountain...

Roger became increasingly interested in the "Great Explosion" mentioned in Historical Knowledge that occurred in ancient times! However, tracing back to the past was a matter for later.

Now.

He just wanted to catch up with that female swordswoman as soon as possible!

Anyway, there's no other way to greet the other party.

Roger simply flew wildly, head down, in an attempt to get her attention.

Roger even performed some extremely difficult acrobatic moves while riding the wind—

These actions are not only dangerous.

It will also cause a lot of noise.

He refused to believe that the female swordswoman wouldn't react at all when he was openly following her!

"Just don't be seen as a pervert..."

Roger shook his body exaggeratedly.

It's clearly riding the wind.

His body trembled as if he were using Underwater Catapult!

Accompanying this action.

Explosions echoed through the sea of clouds! "Her speed wasn't exactly supersonic, she should have heard it by now, right?"

Roger gazed expectantly at the hazy sword light ahead.

Hoping the other party will pay attention to you.

Even if it turns around and slashes at me with a sword, that's fine!

But what he never expected was...

The female swordswoman seemed not to have heard a sound.

They're just blindly flying around! When faced with this situation...

Roger was utterly speechless.

Fortunately, compared to the beginning...

The distance between the two has narrowed considerably.

Roger could even see the pure white light at the end of Bai Qianqian's sword light! "This sword immortal's sword light is very pure. It's clearly a white sword light, so why is there a layer of gray on the outside?"

Roger noticed something amiss.

However, he didn't have time to analyze it in depth.

Suddenly, the surrounding scenery began to change dramatically!

Roger noticed.

The sea of clouds along the way became very thick.

And the color turned into a strange dark blue.

The number of fragments of Kunwu Mountain dotting the sea of clouds has become extremely small.

There are only a few pieces.

The top was covered with a plant that resembled seaweed.

Roger saw several pieces of rubble that were wrapped in thick green fuzzy balls of seaweed!

These green pom-poms are huge! I estimate their radius is almost 1 meter!

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have left the Seventh Ring Cloud Sea and arrived at the Eighth Ring Cloud Sea..."

"You have discovered a ' Giant Slime Mold (LV77/Elite)'"

These green fluff balls are actually monsters!

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

Unable to resist the distraction, he threw out his Life Sword.

It thrust straight at the green ball of fur! But who knew what would happen after the Formless Sword's light pierced through?

It didn't even cause any damage to that Giant Slime Mold!

Instead, it was fiercely attracted by the green fuzz all around!

At that time.

Roger sensed an immense suction force emanating from his Life Sword.

Immediately afterwards.

Drops of murky liquid were released from the point where the Life Sword came into contact with the slime mold.

The Formless Sword's durability plummeted! Roger was furious.

He immediately placed a Hunter's Mark on Bai Qianqian.

He immediately turned around and rushed back.

Not long after.

He rushed to the Giant Slime Mold that was wrapped around fragments of Kunwu Mountain.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a "Three Flowers Divine Fire"! Boom! The bright orange flames ignited the slime mold's fuzz.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

The slime mold made strange noises.

Unfortunately, it was devoured by the merciless divine fire in an instant!

"Hint: You have killed a Giant Slime Mold."

"Your chances of making a mistake have slightly increased."

"You have obtained Kunwu Mountain Fragment *1"

"???"

What's this "probability of slipping" thing? Does it refer to the probability of slipping and falling?

Roger remained silent.

He shook his head as he picked up the piece of gravel that had been covered by the Giant Slime Mold.

"Drained Kunwu Mountain Fragment spiritual essence: hollowed out by Giant Slime Mold, but still possessing some value."

Roger weighed the stone in his hand.

It feels alright.

It is not small in size, but it is not light in weight.

After casually stuffing it into the Tinder Pouch.

He suddenly realized that he had lost the coordinates of "Sword Immortal Bai Qianqian"!

"The Hunter's Mark has expired?"

His heart tightened.

Immediately afterwards.

A low rumble of thunder suddenly came from the depths of the distant sea of clouds!

Within perception.

Something enormous was rapidly approaching! In an instant.

Roger instinctively drew his Life Sword to try and create distance.

But it was all too late! The sea of clouds in the Eighth Ring Land has the effect of blocking perception.

Roger realized it.

The one hidden in the clouds has now revealed its true form—

It was a colossal fish-shaped beast that blotted out the sky!

Its size is comparable to that of the "Abyss Guardian".

The strange fish leaped up from beneath the clouds.

In an instant, it covered the entire sky above Roger's head! The sky suddenly darkened.

A black wind surged forth from an unknown place.

Roger's body was frozen in place!

"Warning: You have been hit by ' Soul-Seizing Black Light '!"

"Warning: You have encountered the sea monster ' Da Kong Yao ' (LV189/Lord/ Mountain and Sea Tales of the Strange...)"

"100% Fortitude active... You have been immune to the immobilization effect of Soul-Seizing Black Light!"

"Your body can move freely now..."

In a daze.

Roger tried to move.

But then he was shocked to discover that his soul and body had briefly separated—

His body plummeted straight down into the sea of clouds!

His soul was frozen in place! Fortunately, he managed to cancel his attempt to move in time.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Does this Soul-Seizing Black Light immobilize and fixate the soul?"

Roger thought with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Fortunately, his soul quality level is not low either.

It only takes a maximum of three seconds to break free from the predicament of having one's soul immobilized.

It's a pity.

The demon above him didn't give him enough time.

A gust of black wind swept in.

An immense force Kiting Roger's body upwards!

A sudden dizziness.

After Roger's soul recovered from its abnormal state.

The environment around him had undergone a complete transformation! A foul, fishy stench wafted in from all directions.

The writhing flesh was squeezing his body frantically.

Between the pieces of meat.

A pale green liquid quickly spread over.

Within the field of vision.

Everywhere you look, there are cavities or organs that are a mix of black and red!

An immense pressure was squeezing his body.

He was forced to sink little by little.

In the blink of an eye.

Roger was pushed into a fleshy sac full of wrinkles and grooves! He glanced at the grooves instinctively.

But then they discovered that dangerous laser beams were illuminating the groove!...

"Warning: You have been swallowed by the ' Da Kong Yao '..."

"You have entered the feeding organ of the Da Kong Yao: its Digestion Sac."

"Warning: You have discovered the ' Five Flavors Divine Light '!"

"Five Flavors Divine Light: The Da Kong Yao's innate talent, capable of digesting and decomposing all objects."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Terrifying lasers shot out from the groove.

Roger was limited by his physical size.

It took considerable effort to barely dodge that dense barrage of Five Flavors Divine Light! "Even the Historical World has such enormous monsters!"

Roger was secretly surprised.

This completely contradicts the common sense of planar geometry.

It should be noted that to breed Super Giant Monsters of this level, there must be a considerable number and scale of species.

He knew the sea of clouds was vast.

But can this place really support the feeding needs of monsters like the Da Kong Yao?

The answer is, of course, no.

There must be more to this story than meets the eye.

But now is not the time to dwell on these things.

Roger hesitated for a moment.

There was no rush to resort to violence to break the deadlock.

Instead, he activated the "Myriad Poison Qi" to protect himself.

After using the Life Sword to pierce the stomach sac where he was located and finding a way out.

Then it began to wander around the digestive tract of the Da Kong Yao.

But before he could even take a few steps...

A hazy, gray sword light flew over.

When he met Roger.

The sword light suddenly stopped.

A fair face filled with surprise appeared behind the sword's edge. "You weren't frozen in place by the Soul-Seizing Black Light?"

Roger glanced at her. "Frozen."

"But it didn't completely settle down."

These words were spoken.

The other party immediately fell silent.

The two of them remained frozen in place.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

It took quite a while.

Roger broke the silence first. "You... came to save me?"

The female swordswoman nodded.

He then asked with some doubt, "Which sect are you a disciple of? I can't figure out the method behind your wind manipulation technique at all..."

"Also, didn't your elders tell you the rules for flying in the sea of clouds?"

"Huh?"

"How come you don't even have ' Life-Protecting Sweet Flag '?"

"Wow, you're so reckless! You actually dared to leave Lishan like that?"

Life-Protecting Sweet Flag?

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

He glanced down at it.

In an instant, a strange sword tassel was discovered on the hilt of the female sword immortal's Celestial Sword.

It was a short section of calamus.

It shimmered with a hazy gray light.

"It seems that this is what caused her sword light to turn gray..."

Roger's mind raced.

He then lied and claimed that he had accidentally lost his Life-Protecting Sweet Flag while traveling.

Although the female swordswoman had her suspicions, she didn't say anything more.

She simply kept reminding Roger—

There is no Life-Protecting Sweet Flag to protect it.

Never move through the sea of clouds!

This is an ironclad rule of survival, bought with the lives of countless people in this world! Faced with the other party's well-intentioned advice...

Roger nodded repeatedly.

He subtly revealed his Charm Authority, and related expertise.

They started improvising lies and bluffing.

The two chatted for a while.

At the beginning.

This female swordswoman was quite reserved.

But not long after.

Her true nature was then revealed—

After a detailed self-introduction.

It was a long and rambling narration.

In response to this.

Roger was naturally happy to see this happen.

Roger learned from her self-introduction that—

This female swordswoman named Bai Qianqian is Qi Refiner from ' Xinlang Mountain '.

The sect she belonged to was just a small sect.

However, she herself had recently been promoted.

So it's somewhat famous in the vicinity of Xinlang Mountain.

Bai Qianqian's level is only LV101.

Her ascension method was also a fairly ordinary "Corpse Liberation Ascension".

Their strength can only be described as very average.

That's why it flies so fast.

It's because she possesses the Celestial Sword, inherited from her predecessors.

As the two were talking.

Roger secretly checked the attributes of the Celestial Sword.

In addition to "Flight speed +200%".

Everything else was just so-so.

It's clear that Bai Qianqian's sect isn't a particularly powerful organization.

But as an indigenous person who knows West Tallen inside and out...

Bai Qianqian, with her warm and enthusiastic nature, perfectly met all of Roger's requirements for a guide.

So he started to have some ideas.

With the blessing of superb Charm Authority and power.

Bai Qianqian couldn't resist.

Over time, she developed some affection for Roger.

When the time is right.

Roger then claimed to be an extraordinary Qi Refiner had been practicing since childhood and had never left the fragments of Kunwu Mountain.

Therefore, I don't have a deep understanding of the sea of clouds.

As it happened, he had urgent business to attend to at a nearby large human settlement.

They were also troubled by the lack of connections or avenues to explore.

His words subtly implied that he wanted to capture Bai Qianqian and use her as a tool.

Roger thought the atmosphere had reached this point.

Bai Qianqian should volunteer herself.

To everyone's surprise, the female swordswoman wore a conflicted expression! All this was in order to achieve her goal.

Roger decided to take the plunge.

She kept staring at Bai Qianqian with weak, bewildered, and helpless eyes.

The latter scratched his head.

He then sighed softly, "In your condition, you really can't do it without someone guiding you..."

"But I just made a ' Heart Demon Great Oath,' which states that I must not meddle in other people's business, and I can break this vow a maximum of three times a day. I've already used my third chance to save you..."

"Besides, I have important things to do, so I really can't!"

Roger asked in astonishment, "So you heard what I was doing earlier?"

Bai Qianqian laughed and said, "You're making such a loud noise, who can't hear you!"

Then, with a pained expression, she explained:...

"I've always loved meddling in other people's business since I was a child."

My master once said that I would definitely get into trouble in the future because of meddling in other people's business.

As expected.

I've recently gotten myself into a huge mess!

I have no idea how to solve it!

I was forced into making this Heart Demon Great Oath...

Roger laughed upon hearing this:

"Since we shouldn't meddle in other people's business, we can meddle in things that aren't really our business, right?"

"Okay, if you accept this gift, we're friends now!"

"You can't call it meddling in your friends' business, can you?"

As he spoke.

He handed over an item with an air of generosity.

"Hint: You have gifted Bai Qianqian 10 Tinder Pouch..."

Bai Qianqian's favorability increased by 10!
