"But one day, my strength suddenly increased, and I realized that I had comprehended the secret of the sword pellet. Kid, it's a waste to have this in your hands. Why don't you give it to me?"
Gao Tairan roared and pointed his right hand forward into the air, increasing the force of his gesture.
Sword energy surged and roared towards Ye Xingchen, but Ye Xingchen firmly sealed off a three-foot radius around himself with his Crimson Cloud sword, preventing the sword energy from breaking through.
But this old man was, after all, a powerful being in the realm of profound inner peace, and the three-foot-wide area he guarded was gradually shrinking.
"Heh, what can an ant like you do against enemies from all sides?" Gao Tairan sneered, pointing his right hand into the air: "Break, kill!"
All the sword light suddenly stopped, and everything in heaven and earth seemed to freeze in that instant.
The pause was only momentary. As a flash of sword light appeared, the sword energy in the sword formation suddenly gathered, like a surging river of the underworld, sweeping down towards Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen's pupils contracted, and with a swift movement of his right hand, he rose up from the ground.
The instant he leaped into the air, the crest of his crown appeared on his forehead, with a lifelike gold-inlaid mark on the crown.
Their combat power has already been pushed to its limit.
"I use three thousand specks of dust to save all living beings, and with one sword I summon thunder into the nine heavens!"
He raised the Crimson Cloud in his hand, and a blue bolt of lightning suddenly filled the Crimson Cloud.
With a whoosh, blue lightning suddenly spun around, forcing the opponent's sword formation and sword energy back three feet away from Ye Xingchen.
At the same time, a blue and white bolt of lightning flashed in mid-air, seemingly echoing the Crimson Sky in Ye Xingchen's hand.
Thunderclap Sword, Second Form: Tribulation of All Beings.
Boom... The entire night sky was illuminated by lightning.
Countless electric snakes roamed and spread in mid-air, scattering into countless electric arcs.
Then, eight bolts of lightning flashed through the void and landed heavily on the sword formation.
boom……
A blazing light suddenly shone forth, and with a hum, the sword formation shattered.
Hundreds of trees in the forest, some as big as a bowl and others as thick as a bucket, were lifted high and then turned to dust in the radiance.
The bright light on Ye Xingchen's forehead, like a crown, was lifelike. He floated in mid-air, pointing the Crimson Cloud in his hand forward, majestic and awe-inspiring, like a god descending to earth.
At the same time, a majestic voice seemed to come from all directions: "I have the Three Thunder Swords, this is the second move, the Thunder Tribulation of All Beings, I wonder if it can break your Profound Light Sword Formation?"
The sound was like a thunderclap, shaking the earth slightly. Gao Tairan was also floating in mid-air, his right hand with two fingers together, pointing slightly forward, still maintaining the posture of the killing move.
Although he still maintained the air of a wise and venerable sage, it was not difficult to see from a slightly closer distance that the two fingers he pointed in the air were trembling slightly.
"Good lad, you actually managed to fight me to a standstill across the border?" Gao Tairan's voice was booming, but he was clearly losing confidence: "You are indeed very strong. If I keep you around, you will only be a menace. Fine, today I will risk my old life to kill you here."
"Then let's give it a try." Ye Xingchen sneered, slowly raising the Crimson Cloud in his hand.
Above the crimson sky, lightning crackled, and in mid-air, thunder shimmered faintly as another thundercloud slowly gathered.
Just then, a blue light slowly appeared, revealing a paper crane.
"A letter from the sect leader?" Gao Tairan frowned slightly, pointed his right hand into the air, and a stream of true energy entered.
The paper crane slowly unfolded, a faint light emanating from it, and he had already understood the message within.
This is the Xuan Yang Sect's technique for transmitting messages over long distances; it is a closely guarded secret.
After reading the message, Guanghua slowly disappeared. Gao Tairan sneered, "Kid, you're lucky. The sect leader said that the time is not yet right to kill you. I'll spare your life today and we'll settle things another day."
"I'll be waiting." Ye Xingchen stood tall and proud.
Gao Tairan turned around, his figure flashed, and he was already a hundred feet away, disappearing without a trace a moment later.
Ye Xingchen's expression changed several times. He forced himself to descend slowly from mid-air, then staggered and knelt on the ground.
He was panting heavily. The forceful use of the Thunderclap Second Form had completely drained his strength. He barely managed to maintain his imposing presence in mid-air, which was how he managed to scare the old man away.
If that old man really insists on fighting me, we'll both be severely injured today, since we're still a level apart.
He took out the Gathering Yuan Pill and swallowed it. After a short while, his condition improved slightly.
He dared not linger here; returning to heal his injuries was the most important thing.
Gao Tairan swept a thousand feet in one leap, and only stopped after traveling more than ten kilometers.
He glanced back to make sure no one was chasing him, then his tense expression suddenly relaxed. He let out a muffled groan, grabbed a tree for support, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
This old man is also at his limit. That exchange with Ye Xingchen was his best effort, and judging from his current condition, he seems to be in better shape than Ye Xingchen.
He quickly leaned against a tree and sat down, then sat cross-legged. He circulated the unique cultivation method of the Xuan Yang Sect throughout his body. After a moment, he exhaled a heavy breath and barely opened his eyes.
"Thunderclap Sword, so powerful." Gao Tairan took a few deep breaths and muttered to himself, "This kid's strength is even greater than it appears. He's only at the Formless Dust Realm, yet he managed to injure me like this."
"Keeping him alive would be a huge scourge to the Xuan Yang Sect. We must find a way to get rid of him."
After resting on the ground for half a day, Gao Tairan's internal energy recovered somewhat. He stood up and hurried back, his steps uneven.
What happened today must not be known to anyone else, otherwise, where would he put his old face?
One of the four elders of the Xuan Yang Sect, his strength has already reached the second level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, the Netherworld Realm.
He not only lowered himself to bully a young man, but also got injured in the process? He couldn't bear the shame and needed to go back and go into seclusion for a few days to recover his strength.
In the suburbs, it was still that same dilapidated house.
Chen Roujin's lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and judging from her appearance, she was indeed pregnant.
Moreover, she has been practicing the Ghost Mother Secret Technique taught to her by Yin Lao Er these past few days, and she looks eerily sinister.
"After a while, you can drink the Japanese soup to turn the fetus in your womb into a catalyst. With this catalyst, the Japanese ritual will be much easier in the future." Yin Lao Er looked at Chen Roujin and nodded in satisfaction.
To be fair, Chen Roujin's talent is quite remarkable. She cultivates with twice the effort and half the result. What would take an ordinary person three years to reach the entry level of a secret technique, she actually achieved in less than a month.
Moreover, this woman is ruthless and has a gloomy personality; she is naturally suited to cultivate the body of the Ghost Mother.
