Don't Kill Him, Capture Him Alive
"I implore the Sword Immortal Senior to lend a hand!!!"
Everyone present was stunned by the loud shout.
What did they hear?
Sword Immortal?!
That's a legendary, powerful being.
The pinnacle of swordsmanship, an ancient legend.
Could it be that there is actually a powerful Sword Immortal among them?
Everyone was greatly encouraged.
Even the Xue Chou in mid-air paused its movements slightly.
In an instant, it looked around.
The name of the Sword Immortal is also recorded in the records of the Devil Race.
At the same time, a system notification suddenly popped up in front of Lu Changzhi's eyes:
Faced with Fang Ling's plea for help, what do you choose?
"I. Not participating. Reward: Saint Rank Mid Grade technique 'Carefree Art' *1."
"II. Offering Assistance. Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade Meridian-Cleansing and Marrow-Washing Pill *1."
"Third, you made a move, but killed Fang Ling. Reward: Saint Rank High Grade martial skill 'Catch-the-Enemy-Unprepared Fist' *1."
[The Carefree Art]: When there's nothing to worry about, everything is light; when trouble comes, just run. As long as you run fast enough, trouble can't catch up...
[Meridian-Cleansing and Marrow-Washing Pill]: Refined from sixty-one precious medicinal herbs, it is gentle and harmless. After consumption, it can cleanse the pores, improve one's aptitude, and give ordinary people the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation...
[Catch-the-Enemy-Unprepared Fist]: This technique uses feints and deception, striking from one direction while attacking another, relying on surprise. It's a rare example of a martial art incorporating a sneak attack strategy into direct combat...
I glanced at the rewards for the three options.
Lu Changzhi had an idea in mind.
Only...
"System, can the Dao-Severing Sword be used by someone else?"
Lu Changzhi asked in his heart.
"Okay," the system replied, "But it will increase the experience cost."
"An extra 200 experience points will be paid."
Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.
However, two hundred experience points are nothing to me now.
Just as Lu Changzhi was asking the system...
Xue Chou stopped searching and sneered.
"Cloud Heaven Holy Land, is bluffing all you've got?"
As the sound faded, the blood energy from all directions began to converge wildly.
Suddenly, a blood-red cloud appeared high in the sky, obscuring the sun.
As soon as the blood cloud appeared, everyone felt a suffocating sensation, along with a profound sense of powerlessness.
At that moment, it felt as if their lives no longer belonged to themselves.
On the ground, Fang Ling suddenly stood up.
At this moment, his clothes were no longer as neat as before, with many tears and stains of blood.
His expression was extremely solemn.
"In the end, we still couldn't get the senior to help us?"
Fang Ling sighed softly to himself.
From the very beginning, he tried his best to pretend that they were evenly matched, hoping to find an opportunity to ask the Sword Immortal for help.
Observing Sword Immortal's moves up close is also an excellent opportunity for comprehension.
However, this demon's backup plan is surprisingly powerful.
What follows will inevitably be a bloody battle.
The power within the blood-red clouds grew increasingly terrifying, as if it were about to annihilate this entire world at any moment.
And just then...
Buzz!
Suddenly, the sound of a sword rang out, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
In an instant, the oppressive feeling of despair, accompanied by the sound of a sword ringing out, dissipated with a roar.
The crimson hue in the void seemed to dissipate in an instant.
At the same time, the longswords of everyone present also began to tremble.
These longswords all pointed in one direction, lying horizontally on the ground. Countless sword cultivators felt reverence and awe from these swords.
The swords rang out, and ten thousand swords submitted.
"This is..."
Countless people's eyes widened in disbelief as they looked in the direction of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land's flying boat.
After a long silence, he finally took a deep breath and spoke in shock:
"Sword Immortal!"
Fang Ling's body also trembled, and a light appeared in his eyes.
So, Senior Sword Immortal, you've finally chosen to make your move?
Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out:
"I'll lend you my sword."
As he spoke, a long sword flew out, flowing with terrifying Sword Intent, heading towards Fang Ling.
Countless eyes were fixed on the longsword, their hearts filled with shock.
Such aura and sharpness—is this the sword of a sword Sword Immortal?
"This sword..."
Among the Devil Sect, Mu Fan suddenly stopped, staring at the longsword with a slightly strange expression.
Isn't that Master's sword?
It was even more terrifying than the last time I saw it.
Shaking his head, Mu Fan spoke softly:
"Master's sword has struck; if this unlucky fellow doesn't run now, it'll be too late."
Elsewhere, Qin Li glanced back at Lu Changzhi, then her gaze returned to the Dao-Severing Sword.
She had been wondering just now what level of Sword Immortal were here.
It turned out that it was his own master who drew his sword.
Then there's no need to be curious.
The master's swordsmanship is far more than just that of Sword Immortal.
"Thank you for bestowing the sword upon me, senior."
Fang Ling was so excited that his body trembled.
He sheathed his sword, took a deep breath, swallowed a pill, and then reached for the Dao-Severing Sword.
Boom!
The moment Fang Ling obtained the Dao-Severing Sword, he felt an incomparably powerful Sword Intent.
This Sword Intent subtly embodied a certain Dao of Heaven and Earth, condensing within the sword and enduring through the ages.
Fang Ling was greatly shocked.
Compared to this ultimate swordsmanship, the swordsmanship he has achieved over thousands of years is but dust.
"I still underestimated my senior!"
At that moment, a thousand thoughts flashed through my mind, condensing into a single idea.
"Don't kill them, capture them alive."
Lu Changzhi's voice rang out, pulling Fang Ling back to reality.
"No wonder." Fang Ling felt conflicted.
This senior Sword Immortal lent me his sword because he feared that if I took action, the demon would be doomed.
Gathering his thoughts, Fang Ling looked at Xue Chou.
"Demon, prepare to die!"
Fang Ling took a step forward and returned to the sky.
Xue Chou withdrew his gaze from the longsword and spoke in a ferocious voice:
"You're just a dog relying on your master's power! I'll see what the Sword Immortal's sword can do to me!"
As he spoke, the blood clouds surrounding Xue Chou surged wildly.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the blood-red clouds in the sky condensed into an astonishing dark red spear.
The spear contains a devastating power.
A feeling arose in everyone's heart.
If this spear were to fall, even the earth itself would likely crack open.
"Nether Devil Blood Spear!"
Xue Chou pointed a finger, and the spear came straight at Fang Ling.
A terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped Fang Ling.
"Come!"
Fang Ling, brimming with confidence, let out a low shout and slashed out with his sword.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people.
The longsword clashed with the blood-stained spear.
Countless people hurriedly activated their spiritual power to block their hearing.
Some have already prepared measures to deal with the impact.
However, there was no explosion as everyone had expected, nor was there a standoff between the two sides.
The moment the sword and spear made contact, the longsword sliced the spear in two.
Wherever it passed, the blood spears shattered.
Silent and effortless, enjoy the silky smoothness.
The terrifying spear shattered completely before the longsword, turning into nothingness.
There was not even the slightest hindrance.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Xue Chou and Fang Ling, the two parties involved, were also stunned.
Fang Ling arrived in front of Xue Chou after all the blood spears had broken apart.
Just as the longsword was about to strike him down, Fang Ling suddenly came to his senses and remembered Lu Changzhi's reminder.
Don't kill them, capture them alive.
