Lan Caihe Encounters a Crisis
"Bang!" Seeing Lan Caihe use the Power of the Heavenly Dao, the man in black knew that Lan Caihe was a cultivator who had practiced a certain immortal technique. He threw a punch at Lan Caihe. Upon seeing this, Lan Caihe used his Body of the Heavenly Dao. A golden light appeared on his body, forming an armor that enveloped him.
"Bang!" A fist slammed into Lan Caihe's body, producing a violent explosion. Lan Caihe felt as if his physical body had been shattered.
"Hiss..." Lan Caihe gasped, not expecting the other's body to be so sturdy that he couldn't even hurt him.
Upon Lan Caihe quickly used the Power of the Heavenly Dao to envelop himself, preventing him from suffering such attacks.
"Haha... Lan Caihe, never thought you'd have this day, huh!" The man in black looked at Lan Caihe and mocked, "That's fine, you can rest in peace now!"
"Who exactly are you? Why are you hunting me down?" Lan Caihe asked in a deep voice, looking at the man in black before him.
The man in black didn't answer Lan Caihe's question. He looked at Lan Caihe, a sinister smile creeping across his lips, and said, "Lan Caihe, we will meet again! When we do, I will tear you to pieces!" With that, he vanished in a flash.
"What!" Lan Caihe shouted upon seeing this.
"Boom boom boom!" Lan Caihe heard a huge roar behind him. He turned around and was dumbfounded. In the distance, countless rocks were falling from the sky and crashing down on Lan Caihe.
With so many stones falling, he definitely couldn't dodge them. Moreover, he was injured when he was attacked by the Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle earlier, and now he's being hit by countless stones again. He's definitely not going to survive!
"Ah!" Lan Caihe screamed as he was smashed into the mud by the countless stones.
Just then, a white light descended from the sky and shot straight towards the rocks.
"Whoosh!" Countless stones were instantly pierced by those rays of light and turned into nothingness!
"Who? Who is helping me?" Lan Caihe crawled out of the mud, looked at the empty space, and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Could it be that older brother?" Lan Caihe suddenly remembered that in this place, there seemed to be only that older brother, and that older brother didn't seem to be traveling with him. He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. That older brother would disdain such a low-level tactic as a sneak attack!"
Thinking of this, Lan Caihe quickly ran towards his side, wanting to find that man and ask him why he had saved him.
Soon, Lan Caihe saw the white light that had helped him earlier.
Lan Caihe rushed to the white light.
The white light was the tip of a snow-white sword, aimed directly at Lan Caihe, emitting a dazzling white glow. The sword was entirely white, engraved with many intricate patterns. Moreover, the blade emanated a chilling killing intent, indicating that this sword was no ordinary weapon.
"This sword..." Lan Caihe looked at the precious sword before him, thinking to himself, "Could the elder brother who helped me just now be him?"
"Brother, we meet again!" Lan Caihe asked, looking at the sword immortal before him.
When the sword immortal saw Lan Caihe approach, his eyes were filled with surprise. He looked at Lan Caihe and Lan Caihe, "Little fellow, I didn't expect you to be a cultivator."
"Yes!" Lan Caihe said, "I've only just started cultivating, and I never expected to encounter a master cultivator like myself. This is truly astonishing!"
The sword immortal was somewhat disappointed to see that Lan Caihe was a cultivator, because he did not recognize Lan Caihe, only some juniors.
"Little fellow, is your name Lan Caihe?" the sword immortal continued to ask.
"That's right, it's me." Lan Caihe and said, "My name is Lan Caihe. May I ask what this senior's name is?"
"Haha! Cultivators don't reveal their names, just call me Sword Immortal!" the Sword Immortal said heartily. "Lan Caihe, how did you get involved with that man in black?"
"It's a long story. I had just arrived in the Mount Kunlun Range when I discovered that a man in black was chasing me. Later, while I was fleeing for my life, I accidentally fell off a cliff and broke my leg. Fortunately, a senior helped me and saved my life!" Lan Caihe recalled.
"Hmm! So you're still a little kid. It's quite an achievement that you managed to escape from that man in black!" The sword immortal laughed upon hearing Lan Caihe's explanation.
"Senior, you jest. That man in black is Golden Core Stage cultivator! How could I possibly escape his pursuit?" Lan Caihe a wry smile.
"Your cultivation has reached the Golden Core Realm, which makes you a master in the cultivation Immortal Realm!" the Immortal Dao. "Have your injuries healed?"
"Yes! I've almost recovered!" Lan Caihe said.
"In that case, let's leave this place quickly. That man in black is not someone to be trifled with!" After saying that, the sword immortal led Lan Caihe away from the place.
The two had only flown a few hundred meters when they discovered the man in black standing there waiting for them.
"Lan Caihe, you think you can escape so easily? I'll send you on your way today!" the man in black shouted as he saw the two of them come out.
"Senior, please wait!" The sword immortal looked at the man in black and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"What? You're not going to let me go?" the man in black asked, looking at the sword immortal.
"Senior, you misunderstand! I wouldn't dare. I just wanted to ask where my friend is now. If he is in danger, I hope you can help him!" the sword immortal said, his tone very respectful.
"Hmph! So you haven't given up after all!" the man in black roared angrily. "You two despicable villains, you actually dared to ambush me when I wasn't paying attention! Did you really think I was a pushover? Now I'm going to kill you both right here!"
After saying that, the man in black waved his hands, unleashing streaks of black lightning.
Lightning travels extremely fast.
Upon seeing the attack from the man in black, Lan Caihe's expression changed drastically. He was extremely anxious and immediately summoned his Spirit Artifact, striking at the black lightning bolt in front of him. The long sword was swung and thrust out.
The two Sword-Ray collided, producing a deafening roar.
The black lightning and the Sword-Ray canceled each other out.
"Hmph, you think you can stop me with your meager skills? Dream on!" The man in black sneered, swung his arm, Lan Caihe again. The black lightning bolt struck Lan Caihe once more.
While fending off the attacks of the man in black, Lan Caihe used his soul power to survey everything around him.
