Chapter 113 (continued)

This is the origin of the Sword Tomb.

Those Star Weapon who did not want to change masters chose to destroy their own consciousness and fall into the void after their masters died in battle. After countless years, they nurtured the Sword Tomb before us.

Jiang Yuqing noticed Li Yang's expression and said, "Even if it really is Cheng Rui's Star Weapon, it has already lost its self-awareness. Rather than letting it wander here, it's better to let it return to dust."

He said this to comfort Li Yang.

Although Li Yang had never met Cheng Rui, he was, after all, a senior in the Nature Department.

Qingchen also realized what was happening and quickly said, "That's right, even if it really is Star Weapon from a deceased senior, it's a good thing that we can put it to sleep."

Li Yang knew they were all trying to comfort her, so she smiled at them and said, "I understand."

"Who's there!" The Chen Ri in the far distance, suddenly spoke, startling the three people who were hiding.

While Li Yang was in the Hidden Shadow state, Chen Ri could not sense her.

Qingchen also has his own methods of Concealment, which currently seem to require Spirit Points to see through, so Chen Ri cannot detect him.

Only Jiang Yuqing...

He used the Star Curse to Concealment, but that was clearly not enough to fool Chen Ri.

Chen Ri had just finished fighting when he sensed him.

Jiang Yuqing's face turned pale, and she immediately cried out for help, "Sister Yang! Help!"

In the Chen Ri eye, Chen Ri was in front of him, raising his hand to lift him up.

Li Yang quickly said in his Spirit Sea, "Senior brother, go collect the Light-Condensed Titanium, I'll distract Chen Ri!"

Qingchen knew exactly what she was up to and said anxiously, "Don't fight her head-on! Even though she just finished a battle, she's still someone we can't defeat."

They only had time for a brief exchange.

Li Yang had already used "Risking Life" and appeared in front of Jiang Yuqing in the blink of an eye, shoving him away.

Jiang Yuqing scrambled and stumbled, running away into the distance without looking back.

This is not a battle he can participate in; if he were taken hostage, it would only delay Li Yang.

Chen Ri saw Li Yang.

This time, Li Yang didn't use a "Vest" but revealed her true identity.

This girl is actually at the Eighth Grade Realm!

And it's Nature Department!

Chen Ri instantly understood the whole story. "It was you who did this!"

She sensed something was amiss while battling the Setting Sun.

The Setting Sun had no self-awareness whatsoever; it was merely acting on instinct to retaliate, and its strength was far less than before.

It's impossible to devise such a meticulous rescue plan under such Setting Sun.

But besides Setting Sun, where else could one Eighth Grade Realm? It wasn't until Li Yang made his move that Chen Ri suddenly realized—

She'd been tricked!

They were outmaneuvered by a young and cunning Star Wielders!

"Who are you? How could an Eighth Grade Realm Star Wielders appear in the Sword Tomb?"

As he spoke, Chen Ri had already rushed towards Li Yang.

Although Li Yang raised her cultivation level to the Eighth Grade, she did not have any matching Star Skill or Star Weapon, so she was only a half-baked Eighth Grade Realm.

Fortunately, even Eighth Grade Star Weapon isn't a fully-fledged Eighth Grade Realm, and Chen Ri just fought a major battle, so her attack wasn't that terrifying.

Li Yang quickly retreated, avoiding her attack.

At the same time, Li Yang's Spirit Optical Fiber extended outwards.

Chen Ri felt a sense of familiarity. Her intuition was very sharp; she had sensed something was amiss as early as when Li Yang was disguised as Jiang Yuqing.

Afterwards, Li Yang talked to her for a long time, and later at the auction, she even used her mental power to incite the other Masterless Sword.

At this moment, Li Yang's Spirit Optical Fiber was exposed, and the perceptive Chen Ri immediately recognized her.

"Jiang Yuqing!" Chen Ri gritted his teeth and uttered the name.

Li Yang: "..."

Jiang Yuqing in the distance. "..."

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]

He didn't elaborate on what he was so shocked about.

In short, Jiang Qingqing was almost in tears!

Li Yang directly probed into Chen Ri's Spirit Sea and said, "I didn't lie to you. I mean what I say, as long as you..."

"Shut up!" Chen Ri said, "You liar, dare you say you weren't after Light-Condensed Titanium?"

Li Yang: "..." She was speechless.

Chen Ri understood everything!

Li Yang wasn't trying to rescue the Star Wielders at all; this selfish Star Wielders was after the Light-Condensed Titanium.

Born into the tutelage of Ninth Grade weapon forger, Chen Ri gained extensive knowledge of various weapon-forging materials through her upbringing.

Light-Condensed Titanium is an extremely rare material that could drive Star Wielders mad!

And she was actually used as a pawn.

She was incredibly foolish to be used as a pawn by this young Star Wielders!

Chen Ri was filled with extreme shame and anger. "Greedy! Cunning! A complete liar! I'll kill you! I will definitely kill you!"

Her aura suddenly exploded, and the burst of red light leveled the surrounding area.

Just as Qingchen approached the remains of the Death Domain Overlord, he was blasted away by the red light.

Jiang Yuqing stumbled and fell, having used almost every means to save his life: Star Artifact, Star Curse, pills... He barely managed to protect himself.

Li Yang's expression also changed. Although she withstood the attack, she lost 5,000 years of her lifespan.

At this moment, Chen Ri crashed into her again, faster than before. With Li Yang's mediocre skill level, she couldn't dodge it at all.

"Fellow Daoist!" Lianxin cried out anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]

These constantly appearing messages gave Li Yang confidence.

She originally didn't want to confront Chen Ri.

But now there's no way to avoid it.

Li Yang unleashed a purple Frenzy, maximizing her speed, and then released Spirit Optical Fiber that enveloped the Chen Ri.

Chen Ri suddenly grabbed the Spirit Optical Fiber and ripped it off as if it were a physical object.

Li Yang felt a sharp pain; she hadn't expected that Eighth Grade Realm Star Weapon could even sever Spirit Optical Fiber.

Despite the excruciating pain, Li Yang focused intently on Chen Ri's weakness.

Then it quickly advanced, releasing Severing Space that was only of purple caliber.

The mismatch between realm and Star Skill greatly reduces the damage dealt.

Chen Ri scoffed, "All show and no substance!"

Li Yang, wielding twin blades, swiftly lunged towards Chen Ri's weak point. However, Chen Ri turned to block, his palm transforming into a blade as he slashed at Li Yang's twin blades.

Li Yang's Star Weapon were only purple; if he were to take the hit head-on, they would shatter into pieces.

The Noisy Pot yelled, "Let me out! I can help you strengthen your Star Weapon!"

Li Yang hesitated slightly.

Lianxin anxiously said, "Fellow Daoist, I can suppress the Noisy Pot."

Li Yang didn't believe in the Noisy Pot, but she believed in Lianxin.

So, Li Yang picked up the Noisy Pot, uncapped it, and saw a wisp of pale white light emerge.

Li Yang didn't care whether this would attract the Growth-Type Divine Weapon.

Since she's already offended the most dangerous Death Domain Overlord in the Sword Tomb, she's not afraid of making things even more chaotic!

The Noisy Pot exclaimed excitedly, "I'm finally out!"

At this moment, Chen Ri suddenly turned his head to look at the pale white light, and murmured, "You actually carry a wisp of sword spirit..."

Lianxin: "Noisy Pot!"

His voice was cold, and the Noisy Pot instantly wilted, merging into Li Yang's purple Star Weapon at the speed of light.

The originally fragile Star Weapon instantly shone with brilliance, subtly elevating its status to at least the seventh or eighth grade.

Is this the purpose of Blade & Soul?

Can it upgrade the specifications of ordinary Star Weapon?

Li Yang was unsure, and she didn't have time to think. Gripping the Star Weapon enhanced by the sword spirit, she used the Severing Space once more...

The sword spirit's voice echoed in her mind, "Your Star Skill is rubbish! Your Star Weapon is useless! You're practically a garbage dump..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt Lianxin's oppressive aura and obediently shut up.

Li Yang didn't care about any of that. She only felt that the Star Weapon in her hand was very convenient. Although the Star Skill were indeed not up to par, at least it could make full use of her Eighth Grade Realm Physique Points.

Even without using Star Skill, this strike, aimed at Chen Ri's weak point, would be enough to inflict damage.

Bang bang bang!

The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.

Qingchen, watching from afar, was on tenterhooks, fearing that Li Yang might burn through too much of his lifespan and die on the spot.

He finally managed to get close to the ruins of the Death Domain and collected a large amount of Light-Condensed Titanium.

Qingchen seems to always present this kind of situation.

To gain one, you must lose another.

28 years ago, in order to avenge his senior brother, he watched helplessly as his mother self-destructed her natal alchemy furnace.

For the past 28 years, he has been searching for Light-Condensed Titanium. Now he has finally found it and has it in his hands, but he is watching helplessly as Li Yang burns through his lifespan.

Why is he so weak?

Why does he always look at me with such helplessness?

Chen Ri's arm transformed into a longsword, its blade sweeping across, aimed directly at Li Yang's heart.

Li Yang avoided a fatal wound, but was still knocked back several steps by the powerful sword light.

"How much of your lifespan have you consumed?" Qingchen asked her in her Spirit Sea.

Without uttering a sound, Li Yang gripped his twin blades again and charged towards Chen Ri.

"Li Yang!" Qingchen said, "Give me the 'Risking Life'!"

Li Yang suddenly raised his aura, and his oppressive aura spread out, actually blasting Qingchen several meters away.

Qingchen's face turned pale, and she dug her fingers into her palms.

Jiang Yuqing quickly stepped forward and hugged Qingchen, saying, "Don't cause her any trouble, trust her!"

Qingchen couldn't help but say to Jiang Yuqing, "That secret treasure for raising one's cultivation level comes at the cost of burning one's own lifespan. If this continues, she will die!"

"No, no!" Jiang Yuqing's face was also pale, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yang is Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer, she couldn't possibly be lying here, absolutely not!"
