Chapter 245: Ye Guyue! Dead!
“The Avici Sword took quite a bit of damage…”
Putting the [Avici Sword] back into his sleeve, a trace of admiration appeared in the depths of Lu Yang’s eyes. “So this is the Sword Pavilion’s Rank 2 True Art… [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword Technique]…”
I want it so badly!
It was no wonder Lu Yang was envious.
After all, in a true head-on clash, the [Avici Sword] couldn’t actually compare to the [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword]. It wasn’t because the [Avici Sword]’s quality was lower.
It was because Ye Guyue was a Sword Cultivator.
She could use her Life-Bound Divine Ability and Innate Divine Abilities to boost her own spiritual sword, dramatically increasing its power. Lu Yang, on the other hand, relied entirely on the divine wonders of the [Avici Sword] itself.
Fortunately, before this sword duel, Lu Yang had used the [Avici Sword] to kill several Sword Cultivators in succession, stacking the special attack bonus of [Butcher of Man] to an extremely high level. This effectively neutralized Ye Guyue’s advantage. Coupled with the fact that he had been accumulating power for a long time, he managed to gain a slight upper hand.
And this result was due to the influence of multiple factors.
After all, the [Avici Sword] was charging up power and only had the strength for one strike. If Ye Guyue’s mind had been clear, she could have chosen to engage in a battle of attrition and maneuver around him.
However, she chose to clash head-on.
In the end, she had her merit and fate drained by Chong Guang and was entangled by tribulation Qi.
Even though she relied on the Sword Pavilion’s secret technique to maintain clarity of thought, she still couldn’t completely escape the influence, resulting in tiny errors in key decisions.
If not for this, Lu Yang would at most have fought her to a draw; killing her would have been difficult, let alone capturing her alive.
But in cultivator battles, the only thing that mattered was the result.
And the result was that he won!
“…”
In the next second, dazzling brilliant light appeared on Ye Guyue’s body, wrapping her completely as she attempted to break through the void and forcibly escape the Blessed Land fragment.
Clearly, Ye Guyue had recognized the situation.
She had lost. If she didn’t flee now, she would die! Even if forcibly breaking away from the Blessed Land fragment would cause severe injuries, she couldn’t care less.
But would Lu Yang let her leave?
“[Embrace and Guard Mountain]!”
In the next second, the Divine Ability activated. The towering dark mountain pinned down spiritual Qi and calmed the void, extinguishing the brilliant light on Ye Guyue’s body and knocking her down.
Almost simultaneously, Lu Yang cast another Dao arts.
“[Imperial Mountain-Shifting Orthodox Method]!”
[Hand Seals], [Chanting], [Pointing the Mystery]—three steps completed in one breath.
Although Ye Guyue reacted extremely fast, closing her seven apertures immediately so she didn’t hear Lu Yang’s chanting or see his hand seals, she still couldn’t avoid being hit by his pointing finger.
Immediately after, clumps of muddy water gushed out from her well-proportioned body, instantly turning her into an immobile mud statue.
The mud statue fell from the sky and took root upon landing.
However, Lu Yang soon frowned. Stopping his hand movements, he casually flicked his hand to shatter the mud statue, only to find it completely empty inside.
“Heh, shedding the golden cicada’s shell?”
The [True Eye] between Lu Yang’s brows opened, and the [Investigating Heaven Sphere] operated. Bing Fire light illuminated the Six Directions, instantly revealing a graceful figure trying to sneak away.
“Where does the Fairy wish to go?”
Lu Yang laughed loudly. Immediately changing his hand seal, he switched the divine wonder of [Embrace and Guard Mountain]. The towering mountain shadow turned from solid to illusory, crashing down onto Ye Guyue.
Boom!
In the next second, Ye Guyue stumbled.
She was originally flying with the help of her sword pellet, but now suppressed by [Embrace and Guard Mountain], the sword pellet that usually operated as she wished gave no response, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Immediately after, the [Imperial Mountain-Shifting Orthodox Method] was cast on her again.
Seeing this, Ye Guyue could only helplessly form hand seals, releasing another Heavenly Demon to die in her place. She then escaped a thousand miles away, actually planning to stall for time.
Hold on!
This Blessed Land… is about to shatter completely!
Ye Guyue’s Sword Heart was clear. Even entangled by tribulation Qi, she seized the last glimmer of life. As long as she waited for the Blessed Land to shatter naturally, she still had a way to live!
Thinking of this, Ye Guyue continued to flee with all her might.
And the disaster-avoiding ability of the [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword] was indeed incredible. She forcibly dodged Lu Yang’s suppression seven times, actually managing to hold on.
Crack!
Finally, a clear shattering sound rang out between heaven and earth.
It was just a fragment of a Blessed Land to begin with. Even with Chong Guang’s spiritual power holding it together, after experiencing so many collisions, it finally couldn’t bear the burden and visibly cracked open!
Now!
Ye Guyue took a deep breath, urging all her remaining spiritual power. The moment the fissure appeared in the Blessed Land, she activated a streak of escape light and vanished into the crack.
In the next second, her vision opened up!
What met her eyes was the old site of the Kingdom of Qing outside the Blessed Land. At this moment, several familiar cultivators were conversing, some from the Dao Court and some from the Pure Land.
The sky was still dim, indicating the spiritual battle between the Perfected Lords had not ended.
But regardless—
Finally out!
Even with Ye Guyue’s temperament, escaping with her life inevitably gave birth to a bit of wild joy. She secretly thought: Demon, I will not let this rest in the future!
But the urgent task now was to find someone for protection!
Thinking of this, Ye Guyue immediately looked toward the direction of the Dao Court and the Pure Land. Just as she wanted to speak, she suddenly felt a majestic giant wave sweeping from behind!
Looking back.
She saw the void split open, revealing the scene inside the Blessed Land fragment. On a towering mountain, Lu Yang sat cross-legged, his robes fluttering in the wind.
Above his head, beams of spiritual light emerged at this moment. The [Myriad Spirits Banner], [Avici Sword], [Formless Sword], [Investigating Heaven Sphere], [Mystic Cloak of Hundred Wards and Subdued Perils], [Treasure Pagoda of Tranquil Clarity], [Supreme Golden Seal of Ziwei Authority], and [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict]—eight superior Spirit Treasures roared simultaneously!
besides these, there was a large pile of treasures stripped from Chong Ming.
These were all from Perfected One Chong Guang’s collection. Although there were no superior Spirit Treasures, they were at least inferior and medium-grade rare treasures, with quality far surpassing the mundane.
At this moment, all these spiritual artifacts gathered together.
And Lu Yang formed seals with both hands, displaying a Dao technique he had never used before.
“[Myriad Treasures River]!”
Not far away, the Treasure-Laden Youth, as the orthodox heir of the [Myriad Treasures River], watched dumbfounded.
This Dao technique originally won by quantity, combining hundreds of spiritual artifacts to exert the power of a superior Spirit Treasure. But in Lu Yang’s hands, it had changed.
The components of his [Myriad Treasures River]… the worst among them were inferior Spirit Treasures!
At this moment, all the cultivators outside the Blessed Land felt their vision go dark and their true bodies sway, as if they had become lonely boats in a storm of giant waves!
What met their eyes was a magnificent long river!
This river was massive in scale and extremely majestic. Amidst rumbling sounds, it flowed out from the Blessed Land fragment, brushing down toward Ye Guyue.
Seeing this scene, the crowd found it simply unbelievable. They felt this long river was majestic and unstoppable, sweeping wide and open like a river or sea flowing across the land. Just getting close, an indescribable suction force descended, like the vortex of a sea eye, wanting to swallow and bury them at the bottom of the river.
Ye Guyue’s delicate face instantly turned pale. “Save…”
“Go quickly!”
In the direction of the Dao Court and the Pure Land, several Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones changed color abruptly. Ignoring Ye Guyue completely, they activated their escape lights and fled backward without a second word.
In the next second, the [Myriad Treasures River] crashed down.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Ye Guyue was swept up by the river water formed of Spirit Treasure light right under everyone’s gaze. Wrapped up, she was grabbed back into the Blessed Land.
Is this the demon of the Primordial Saint Sect capturing the Fairy of the Sword Pavilion?
The crowd looked at each other in dismay. Before they could react, they heard Ye Guyue’s coquettish shout from within the Blessed Land fragment covered by the [Myriad Treasures River]—
“Demon, you dare!?”
Immediately after, Lu Yang’s voice followed, laughing loudly. “Naive. What do I not dare to do? Today, I am determined to get your Rank 2 True Art!”
“No… wait, let go of me!”
“Aren’t you afraid of my Sword Pavilion’s revenge…”
“What technique do you want? I can tell you!”
Before Ye Guyue could finish speaking, she cried out in pain. Lu Yang’s voice came out again— “Tell me? What if you secretly falsify it?”
“Uncle-Master Chong Guang taught me that one must rely on oneself!”
“I only trust myself!”
Only the Perfected Ones of the Saint Sect, after feeling slightly surprised, quickly restored their calm.
“Listening to the voice, it seems to be Yuan Tu, right?”
“Oh, then it’s not strange…”
