The Might of a Sword Cultivator, the Grace of Saving a Life!
"Ah!"
A mournful cry rose from the sky.
Ancestor Liuyun coughed up blood from his mouth and nose, his expression dazed, as if a heavy hammer had struck his mind...
Subsequently--
The Jinyuan Needle pierced through the air, unleashing countless pillars of fire that surged forth from all directions!
"Snort!"
Ancestor Liuyun snorted coldly, forcefully suppressing the shock to his soul. Countless Golden Light gathered around his body, and sword shadows appeared one after another, like a lotus flower blooming!
"You're underestimating me!"
"Soul-binding spells? A fire-attribute array targeting sword cultivators? A low-level poison technique?"
Hahaha~!
"Good!
Good!!
Good!!!"
"Let me show you what a sword cultivator really is! What the hell do you mean by 'sword cultivator'?!"
"Sword, come!!"
In an instant--!
Space seemed to slow down its flow, and a colorful cloud-like sword lotus bloomed in the sky!
The sword shadows transformed into dazzling streaks of light, instantly severing the pillars of fire that filled the sky. The sea of fire, now devoid of spirit, plummeted onto the vast earth!
Golden needles strike!
Ancestor Liuyun simply pointed his sword horizontally, the blade almost touching the edge of a needle's eye...
"Bite!"
A golden blast seemed to tear space apart!
The Jinyuan Needle was then flicked away and vanished into thin air, its whereabouts unknown...
"Old ghost, die!"
The next moment--
With immense force, Huang Liang plummeted from the sky, unleashing a punch as powerful as a tiger dominating the mountains!
Thump!
A muffled thud resounded from the earth as Ancestor Liuyun crashed to the ground like a meteor, raising a cloud of dust several feet high...
"Now, he should finally be dead..."
Qin Lu murmured to himself, this was the first time he had ever faced a life-or-death battle with the Qi Condensation Realm expert...
Despite having three against one opponent, and being surrounded by formations and poisons, the fight was still incredibly difficult. This swordsman is truly terrifying!
really--
Those who can cultivate to the Qi Condensation Realm are rarely simple!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang!"
"Get out of the way!"
Huang Liang's expression changed, and he quickly returned to provide assistance...
It's just a matter of millimeters!
Hundreds of Sword Qi tore through the dust, transforming into a sky full of sword blades that attacked!
"Wrong..."
"It's a diversionary tactic; the real target is me, the weakest of them all!"
Qin Lu back to his senses instantly--
A First-Tier- tier shield-like magical Law Artifact was unleashed to block the attack, then quickly retreated, further activating the spell: Azure Wood Gang Shield, protecting the body...
The next moment--
A Sword-Ray, tens of feet long, slashed towards its location!
The shield Law Artifact didn't last even a second before it was instantly torn to shreds, turning into a pile of fragments...
It then struck the Azure Wood Gang Shield!
Qin Lu's heart pounded wildly. He used all his strength, constantly urging the Azure Wood Gang Shield to wear down the opponent, and his figure was constantly retreating...
As its power gradually diminishes--
The Ancestor Liuyun had already arrived before him, and with a swift movement of his sword...
Qin Lu's pupils contracted.
"It's over..."
"Soul Suppression!"
The voice of Void returned!
Ancestor Liuyun hesitated for a moment, and the next moment, the fire snake rushed forward, instantly wrapping around Qin Lu's waist and throwing him away!
"Boom!"
As the sword flashed, a ravine several meters long was instantly carved into the earth!
"Retreat!"
"That old man has been poisoned; let's wear him down!"
Huang Liang pressed forward again, his arms forming an embracing gesture, as if urging the earth to move...
In an instant--
The earth cracked open, and pillars of rock shot into the sky!
Seeing this, Ancestor Liuyun had no choice but to retreat again, putting distance between himself and the others...
Immediately afterwards, he vomited a mouthful of poisonous blood.
His internal organs showed signs of decline, his spiritual energy gradually dissipated, and his body became numb and sluggish...
"Damn it..."
Damn it!
Ancestor Liuyun felt his Qi and Blood surge, but he was powerless to fight any longer...
He used his magic sword to support his body, like a candle flickering in the wind, swaying and undulating with the waves...
In the end, we were one move behind!
If the poison master is killed, the various poisons in his body will be contained due to the death of the caster, and there will still be a glimmer of hope...
But right now--
Not only did the opponent not die, but they also retreated into hiding, making it completely impossible to fight them...
Hehe~
"My disciple, this time..."
"I was wrong, but I have no regrets. No sword cultivator ever... ends well..."
Having said that--
The Ancestor Liuyun's pupils dilated, his body stained with blue, purple, and black hues, and he succumbed to the poison...
Ancestor Liuyun...
Death!
"His body rotted from poison, his soul left his body, he's dead!"
Huang Liang felt a sense of relief; what had just happened was truly extremely dangerous...
If Qin Lu is beheaded--
That Ancestor Liuyun could probably fight for a while longer; who knows, the next one to die might be Huang Liang, or Zhang Xuan...
"Sword cultivators... are truly terrifying."
"He was only at the Qi Condensation Fourth Layer, and he almost killed one of his own. His killing power is truly unparalleled in the world..."
Huang Liang sighed aloud.
Zhang Xuan then deactivated the magic array, also breaking out in a cold sweat...
Qin Lu, the last one, was panting heavily.
My mind was shaken; I seemed to still be in shock...
He was so close, so very close, to death!
"Brother Huang, Brother Zhang..."
"I can never repay your life-saving grace!"
Qin Lu bowed respectfully to the two men. No matter what, the debt of gratitude for saving his life was undeniable...
The two simply nodded slightly.
There was no intention of taking advantage of the situation to rob them. This rescue was nothing special; the circumstances forced us to act, and if we didn't help, we would all perish...
Without realizing it, all three of them had developed a greater sense of trust.
This cultivation world is too cruel...
Having two or three true friends is a wonderful thing.
Let's go...
"There's still one Qi Condensation Second Layer sword cultivator left. Kill him to prevent future trouble!"
"Bloodbath at the Sword Sect!"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Lu nodded slightly, retrieved the Jinyuan Needle, then put away the corpse of Ancestor Liuyun, handing his Qiankun Pouch and magic sword to Huang and Zhang...
Without saying much, the two packed up and sped away together!
Floating Cloud Sword Sect —the Ancestral Hall
One of the two ancestral tablets hanging above the altar suddenly broke off...
Hi~
"Master..."
"You always do this, leaving your disciple all alone..."
Xuanshan bowed three times and nine times, then rose and swept the dust off his robes...
today--
This feud has begun!!
Xuanshan ascended to the heavens and ordered his disciples to return to the sect unconditionally. The sect's protective formation was activated, and they were on alert for any potential enemies!
But only a moment later...
Three figures attacked, each somewhat disheveled, but showing no signs of fatigue; their Spiritual Power seemed to have been largely depleted...
"A recovery-type pill...?"
Hehe~
"You're quite well-prepared. State your names! I, the Old Ancestor Xuanshan, never kill nameless nobodies!"
Xuanshan stands tall against the heavens.
An aura of uprightness and integrity swept over the three of them like a torrent!
It seems that as long as he is there, the Floating Cloud Sword Sect will live on forever and never fall!
"Come!"
"Let me test the mettle of these three!"
(This should be my early debut today, and I'm so happy to have so many people supporting me! Canghai would like to express my sincere gratitude to all fellow Daoists for their support!)
(However, after reading the book reviews, I feel that some fellow readers seem to have some prejudice against me. Firstly, my writing is indeed just average, please forgive me. I'm not a platinum author, of course I don't have that level of skill...)
(Secondly, some people wonder why my protagonist, who can refine pills, wasn't killed at the beginning. Let me explain: the protagonist quickly forms a marriage alliance and forms a coalition with powerful figures. How could he be killed?)
(Furthermore, this book leans towards the ordinary person genre. The reason ordinary people are ordinary is because they have their own concepts of good and evil. They don't kill you and steal your treasure just because they see fortuitous opportunity; otherwise, the whole world would be in chaos...)
(In reality, I've never seen anyone kill someone just because they're jealous of someone else; such things are rare...)
(That's all for now. Thank you all for your support! Canghai expresses his gratitude! Happy New Year, and may you have good fortune and happiness!)
