Chapter 466: After the modification: Chapter 465 Strength Doesn’t Allow It
“Daoist Xie Yun’s skill was quite remarkable.
“Three attacks, as if precisely arranged. First, the White Bone Dharma Sword tore through the Third-Grade Middle-Tier Defense Spirit Talisman, followed by the skull shattering the Golden Bell open.
“Finally, the Six Harmonies True Point struck right as the Golden Bell opened and landed on the Alchemist.
“Whether it was the coordination of techniques or the timing of execution, everything was perfect, reaching its peak.”
On the battlefield nearby, after suppressing Master Jin Ting, Master Black Fiend glanced over and happened to witness Daoist Xie Yun’s superb skills, leading him to praise inwardly.
He had previously underestimated Daoist Xie Yun, but now he felt that, after this mission, it might be worth befriending him.
Then, he saw a seven-colored divine light burst forth from Bai Ziyue’s body, like the reappearance of a Holy Spirit.
A flying sword soared through the air at incredible speed.
His pupils contracted.
…
Bai Ziyue had high hopes for his Lifebound Flying Sword, which he had carefully refined, and indeed felt its formidable power.
*At this moment, as he truly unleashed it, his entire being seemed to merge with the flying sword. As it cut through, it tore open a rift in the void, seeming to connect two worlds, swift as a startling swan—making him feel a sense of exhilaration.*
“Not good!”
Daoist Xie Yun’s expression changed, and a surge of shock rose from the depths of his heart, prompting him to hastily summon a middle-grade Dharma Treasure level round shield.
Almost in the next instant, the Beiming Flying Sword forcefully struck the middle-grade Defensive Dharma Treasure round shield.
Boom!
As if feeling no resistance, the flying sword pierced through instantaneously, maintaining its momentum as it directly struck Daoist Xie Yun’s head.
With a soft hiss, Daoist Xie Yun’s head exploded violently.
“Soul Energy +781255.”
Dead!
“This is my Lifebound Flying Sword. Although its grade is currently low, its power is no less than some Upper Grade Dharma Treasures, and its hardness can even rival Top-grade Dharma Treasures and compete with Golden Core Treasures.”
“It was worth all the effort I spent refining it.”
Bai Ziyue verified the grade and power of his Beiming Flying Sword and finally felt satisfied. Only then did he reach out, gathering up the spoils from Daoist Xie Yun.
“Daoist Xie Yun is dead?
“Killed by that Alchemist?”
Master Black Fiend was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
He knew that Daoist Xie Yun was at the mid-stage Divine Realm, a three-star Divine Realm powerhouse. Yet, in front of Bai Ziyue, just one sword? And he was dead?
Could an Alchemist, who was only at the early-stage Divine Realm, be this powerful?
Rumble~!
The battle continued, as the void wailed, and powerhouses occasionally fell.
Bai Ziyue collected the spoils without any hesitation, and with a thought, the flying sword shot out once more.
Crackle…
The Beiming Sword passed through like lightning, quickly closing in on the early-stage Divine Realm Demon Cultivator besieging Master Jin Ting, flickering slightly.
The Demon Cultivator sensed the dangerous sword, his eyelids twitching wildly, feeling a chill on his scalp as if a great catastrophe was imminent. Without thinking, he immediately used the Demon Sect Secret Technique, the Blood Shadow Escape Technique.
Under the Blood Shadow Escape Technique, his speed suddenly soared, transforming into a startling swan as he fled into the distance.
Though his speed was swift, the Beiming Flying Sword was even swifter.
‘Puff!’
The flying sword followed like a shadow, landing directly on him and penetrating him completely.
The second Divine Realm Demon Cultivator fell.
As Bai Ziyue unleashed his Lifebound Flying Sword, he did not hesitate, lightly lifting his foot and stepping forward.
Divine Technique, Shrinking Inches!
Swish!
He instantly spanned hundreds of meters, arriving in front of Master Black Fiend.
“Courting death!”
Master Black Fiend was first stunned, then instantly flew into a rage.
*When did an early-stage Divine Realm Cultivator dare to be so audacious in his presence?* Bai Ziyue thought he was invincible after slaying the three-star Divine Realm Master Xie Yun with one sword?
He was a late-stage Divine Realm Cultivator, with combat power comparable to a peak Divine Realm seven-star powerhouse, far beyond the likes of Master Xie Yun!
With this in mind, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a mass of Black Evil Qi gushed out from him.
This mass of Black Evil Qi seemed capable of corroding everything and poisoning all life. As soon as it appeared, it produced a terrifying sizzling sound, contorting and collapsing the void, as if the very air couldn’t withstand the assault of this Evil Qi.
Any living being contaminated would inevitably experience discomfort and be on the brink of death.
Yet Bai Ziyue’s expression remained indifferent, his gaze unchanged. He simply waved his hand.
Whoosh…
A mass of five-colored flames instantly transformed into a massive Flame Melting Furnace.
The furnace engulfed not only the Black Evil Qi but also Master Black Fiend himself.
Boom!
The five-colored flames, comparable to Golden Core true flame, almost instantly obliterated all the Black Evil Qi. The flames swept again.
Sizzle sizzle…
“No…”
A heartrending shriek rang out.
*Even though Master Black Fiend tried every possible trick, he could not withstand the onslaught of flames. His entire body, except for the storage bag at his waist that Bai Ziyue purposely spared, was completely incinerated, vanishing into the void.*
Rumble!
Just at this moment, having lost its master’s control, Master Jin Ting finally burst out from the long sail’s confinement. His aura was somewhat weakened, but his fighting power remained robust. Then, he caught sight of Bai Ziyue casually grabbing Master Black Fiend’s storage bag, and his expression froze in utter shock.
*How could this be?*
*Was the one who slew Master Black Fiend and rescued him the Kunlun Daoist?*
Only then did he recall the words spoken by the other, about the ability to protect oneself… He was surprised and dumbfounded.
*It turns out he always underestimated the other.*
*With such strength as Kunlun Daoist has, it’s more than just self-preservation. There might not be many stronger than him at the Divine Realm level, right?*
*Yet, each time he remembered the other’s Immortal Technique Realm was merely the early-stage Divine Realm, he couldn’t shake a sense of absurdity.*
*When did an early-stage Divine Realm Immortal Cultivator possess such terrifying battle power, able to directly slay a Divine Realm Powerhouse at the Peak of Divine Realm, comparable to the Seven-Star Divine Realm Powerhouses?*
Casually picking up the storage bag, Bai Ziyue hesitated not at all. He raised his foot lightly and flashed to another battlefield, where the Beiming Flying Sword shot forth swiftly like a meteor toward a demonic cultivator of the early-stage Divine Realm.
This Demon Cultivator was the one who had planned to sneak attack him earlier.
Meanwhile, Master Jin Ting suddenly became alert, quickly rushing toward the precarious position of Master Fengqin, launching a frenzied attack.
The scale of victory reversed in an instant.
Fire Crow Old Demon and Poison-faced Scholar besieged Master Fushui together, and despite having a slight edge, they struggled immensely. They sensed the situation around them, felt their hearts drop, and their expressions turned incomparably grim.
*He never expected that an ambush initially in favor would ultimately evolve into such a scene.*
*And the root cause of everything… was that Alchemist whom they never took seriously?*
*But even though his heart was unwilling, he knew that if they continued, once Qingxu Sect’s other disciples freed themselves, their situation would become even more perilous.*
“Retreat!”
Fire Crow Old Demon roared as his body flashed, instantly shooting away into the distance.
Poison-faced Scholar’s eyes flickered with green light as he let out a furious yell, casually releasing a poisonous miasma before transforming into a meteor and fleeing swiftly.
Each Demon Cultivator, as if pardoned, also began flailing at their techniques, frantically escaping.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“Don’t let them escape.”
Qingxu Sect disciples roared in succession, chasing after them fiercely, unwilling to let them leave easily.
Yet, under the opponent’s array cover, they dared not advance recklessly. Master Fushui’s orders eventually brought their actions to a gradual halt.
…
The Yellow Fog True Demon Array quickly dissipated, restoring clarity to the heavens and earth.
The warship also resumed its voyage.
But this time, the atmosphere was far more subdued than before.
In this battle, it was indeed a great victory, as the dying Divine Realm Demon Cultivators numbered five on the scene, including Master Black Fiend and Daoist Xie Yun, both star-level powerhouses. In particular, Master Black Fiend, a Seven-Star Divine Realm Powerhouse, absolutely counted as formidable.
Additionally, there were also many slain Enlightenment Realm Demon Cultivators, totaling twenty-three, almost annihilating all the Enlightenment Realm Cultivators of the Demon Cultivators this time.
Yet, Qingxu Sect’s side incurred significant losses as well.
Master Guoshan fell, Master Huangyue was seriously injured, along with eight Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters perishing at the hands of the Demon Cultivators, plus others who suffered varying degrees of damage… making the scene naturally somewhat silent.
However, after briefly analyzing the battle, everyone’s bewildered gaze naturally fell upon Bai Ziyue.
In this battle, the greatest achievement undoubtedly belonged to Master Fushui, who single-handedly blocked the two eight-star, nine-star Divine Realm Powerhouses, Black Duck Old Demon and Poison-faced Scholar.
But the true key to victory still lay with Bai Ziyue.
Especially when they learned that the Divine Realm Demon Cultivators who died by his hand numbered four, even Master Fushui was shocked.
“Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Kunlun for stepping in. Had it not been for your timely intervention, who knows what the outcome would have been?”
Master Fushui cupped his hands, expressing his deep gratitude.
“Thank you for your rescue, Fellow Daoist. If not for you, with my strength, even if I could break free from Master Black Fiend’s grasp, the price to be paid would not have been something I was willing to endure.
This time was indeed perilous.
Now that I reflect on it, my previous actions seemed a bit like showing off my paltry skills.”
Master Jin Ting also cupped his hands, slightly embarrassed as he spoke.
“You all are too kind.”
Seeing that others were about to express gratitude, Bai Ziyue quickly waved his hand and said modestly, “I, too, am a member of the Blood Peak Warship, soon to join Qingxu Sect.
Thus, I can be considered a Qingxu Sect disciple. When in peril, naturally I would act as my ability allows.
Though to achieve such results was indeed unexpected even for me.”
Just entering Qingxu Sect, he did not want to be overly ostentatious.
*But his strength did not permit otherwise…*
