Chapter 49: Heading towards an unknown direction



The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and cattle and sheep can be seen.

At this time, the "herds of cattle and sheep" were fleeing in panic, being chased around by An Zhisu in the sky like a falcon.

Ling Yunpo was watching from behind with his eyes wide open.

No matter whether it was a monster as big as a bull or a demon as swift as a cheetah, they were all killed by my senior sister and fled in panic.

The opponent's skin was tough and his flesh was thick, so An Zhisu would attack the weakest parts of his defense, stabbing his flying sword into the eyes, nose or limbs.

The opponent was as fast as lightning, so An Zhisu blocked most of its escape route with sword energy, and then used the Frost Sword to deliver a fatal and unavoidable blow.

Ling Yunpo had also seen such extremely precise sword changes in Lin Duanshan's hands, but as Duan Fenhai said, "Compared with An Zhisu, it is really inferior."

In fact, Ling Yunpo suspected that Senior Sister An's sword skills were not based purely on calculations, but relied on a certain degree of "intuition", which was the fighting intuition that could only be possessed by someone who had practiced the Seven Kill Swordsmanship to a high level.

Without thinking, the direction and timing of each attack were just right, accurate and deadly.

Sometimes the monsters were forced into a desperate situation, so they gathered together, turned around and attacked together. All kinds of magic lights were shining brightly, shooting towards An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo.

An Zhisu then activated the Taoist magic of the Frost Sword, generating countless icy sword qi and destroying all these evil spells one by one.

The remaining sword energy fell like a rainstorm, piercing the monsters that dared to resist into the ground.

Ling Yunpo followed behind and watched for a long time before he realized that the reason why his senior sister was invincible was that she was exceptionally strong in every aspect.

She has abundant and strong true energy, and her Frost Sword is of a high rank. Coupled with her rich fighting experience and special "combat intuition", she can slaughter monsters that are slightly weaker than her almost one-sidedly in battle.

The nickname "Grass-Mowing Sword Immortal" is not completely random.

As for what would happen if she faced a strong opponent, Ling Yunpo couldn't be sure, because Senior Sister An was now the number one person under the Golden Core Realm in Shushan, and the Golden Core Real Man would not attack her, so there was no way to see it.

The only time she witnessed it indirectly was when Shi Ziming from the Political Affairs Hall used a secret method to forcibly cross the levels and raise his cultivation to the Fake Dan realm, which resulted in him severely injuring her - the price he paid was that he was killed on the spot by her.

From this, it seems that Senior Sister An is not incapable of fighting a battle where the weak defeats the strong, but the opponents she usually faces are too weak, so she always crushes them.

My senior sister, the eternal God!

"Do you want to try it too?" An Zhisu suddenly stopped his swordplay and asked with a smile.

The tone was so relaxed that it seemed as if he was not fighting a monster, but hunting.

"Okay." Ling Yunpo pulled out the Qingping and Leizhi swords.

He had no mercy on the monsters below. After all, the monsters in the Death Gate area were a vicious race that would actively attack humans and some were even cannibalistic. There was no Bodhisattva nearby to chant the Buddha's name and comment that "all things are equal."

We Shushan Sword Immortals are so barbaric!

Ling Yunpo chanted a spell silently, and then activated the Taoist method "Empty Mountain After the Rain" on the Qingping Sword, generating countless narrow and sharp water-based sword qi, which poured down densely.

Compared to Senior Sister An's exquisite swordsmanship, his fighting style is undoubtedly much more rough.

He didn't care about any weaknesses or vital points, he would just shoot a burst of sword energy at the monsters as soon as he saw them. Since "Empty Mountain After the Rain" had its own armor-piercing effect, it ignored the monsters' shell defenses and slaughtered them all like chopping melons and vegetables.

Occasionally, there would be monsters that resisted stubbornly and refused to sit and wait for death. They would release magic towards Ling Yunpo. He would then point his finger and immediately a golden lightning would strike out, killing the monster on the head.

This is not the thunder magic that Qiu Changtian possesses, but the Taoist magic "Nine Heavens Shocking Thunder" on the Leizhi Sword. Its characteristics are long attack distance and extremely strong penetration, which can kill the enemy from a long distance.

The two brothers and sisters launched a fierce bombardment in the air and soon slaughtered all the monsters within their sight. The remaining ones fled in all directions and ran to a place where they could not find them.

Just a dead end area, that’s it?

Ling Yunpo was disdainful in his heart, but Kunlun Mirror knew what he was thinking, so he reminded him:

"Think about it carefully. If these monsters had not fled in panic upon seeing your senior sister, but had gathered together to besiege you, would you have been able to kill her so easily?"

Ling Yunpo thought about it carefully and agreed.

If I were besieged by so many monsters, I would first have to devote half of my strength to self-protection, such as releasing "Green Mist Covering the Mountains" to conceal my body.

In this way, in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, you naturally cannot attack at will.

"Senior Sister." Ling Yunpo asked knowingly, wondering, "Why don't these monsters resist and just let us kill them?"

"After the Shushan Competition ended, the Demon Locking Tower was opened once before." An Zhisu explained, "I was here at that time..."

"And then? Oh... I understand. You are worthy of being my senior sister." Ling Yunpo was slightly stunned, then said with a helpless smile.

The title of the Grass-Cutting Sword Immortal was feared not only by the Shushan disciples but also by the monsters.

An Zhisu waved his hand indifferently and said:

"It's nothing, actually. These beasts are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. If you are not strong enough, they will rush over and devour you; if you are strong enough, they will just run away in panic."

Ling Yunpo nodded in agreement repeatedly, feeling convinced.

The monsters below were almost all killed, and then the two men pressed down the sword light and cleaned up the battlefield.

These monsters have not yet reached the transformation stage and do not have monster cores. Only the materials on their bodies may be worth some money.

For example, the giant lizard monster "窫窳" that we encountered at the beginning had incredibly hard scales on its body.

If it is made into inner armor, it can withstand the frontal attack of a flying sword... Although it will be damaged after blocking three or four times, it is still enough to save lives at a critical moment.

After all, not all Shushan disciples have defensive magic weapons such as the Divine Fire Cover and the Jade Emperor Bell.

After roughly harvesting the materials and putting them into a storage bag, the two of them set out on their return journey.

When he arrived near the entrance to this space, somewhere in a valley, Ling Yunpo did not see the original entrance. He was wondering about it, then he saw An Zhisu suddenly summon the Frost Sword and directly activate the Taoist magic on the sword.

Suddenly, heavy snow fell, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Several monsters ran out from the back of the hill in a panic. They wanted to sneak attack the two from behind while they were looking for the entrance and letting down their guard, but they didn't expect that An Zhisu would know their location directly.

Before they could escape a few steps, the snowflakes of sword energy fell on them, their skin and flesh burst, blood gushed out like fountains, and they all died on the spot.

"Demons cannot leave this space that imprisons them." An Zhisu explained softly, "So, once there are demons near the entrances, these entrances will not appear."

"Therefore, when we enter a certain space, if there are demons nearby, the entrance will disappear immediately, making it impossible for us to leave... Pay attention to this mechanism."

"Of course, you can also use this mechanism in reverse to detect if there are any hidden demons nearby."

"I see." Ling Yunpo expressed his willingness to learn.

As the monsters were killed, the entrance to the return passage also emerged from the void.

The two of them flew into the passage on their swords, passed through the long dark corridor, and soon returned to the original hall.

However, the hall was filled with a tense atmosphere. When several Shushan disciples saw An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo returning from the passage, they immediately drew out their natal swords and prepared for battle.

Ling Yunpo frowned slightly, and saw An Zhisu raised his eyebrows and also pulled out the Frost Sword. The murderous aura on his body almost rose to the sky, and he asked coldly:

"What are you going to do?!"

"We also want to ask you Qingluo Peak what is your intention!" A Shushan disciple in the crowd screamed, "According to the sect rules, what is the crime of killing a fellow disciple without permission?"

"My senior sister and I have always been together. We entered the Death Gate in full view of everyone, and I just came out of it. How can I be accused of killing my fellow disciples without permission?" Ling Yunpo hurriedly stopped Senior Sister An, who had raised her eyebrows, and asked in a calm and deep voice.

"Our disciples from Chiyang Peak were not attacked by demons in the Shang Sect, but died at the hands of our fellow disciples from Shushan." The disciple opposite said with red eyes, "Now that our master is not here, please ask Master Jinghua to take charge of Chiyang Peak."

"The murderer is none other than Qingluo Peak's leader, Su Jian!"
