Long Xiaoyu didn't speak, or rather, she no longer cared. She had given ninety percent of her cultivation to Xiao Yuhan, and she didn't have much time left. After completing this last task, she would die.
Ye Qingyun stopped Shen Huairu, and the group headed deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Meanwhile, deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, an earth-shattering battle was erupting.
Xiao Yuhan, who was also a Blood King Gu, had already broken through to the third level of the Void Returning Realm before becoming a Blood King Gu. With the blessing of the Blood King Gu, he also had the strength of the Dao Integration Realm.
Finally, he had the qualifications to fight Liu Jiantang on equal terms.
Liu Jiantang stared at the sky with bloodshot eyes. He could feel his kind approaching. Before he could react, a celestial sword descended from the sky. He wielded the Dragon Slayer Sword and struck. With one blow, the world changed color. The two swords faced each other, and the sword energy spread across a hundred miles. Countless blood corpses were torn to pieces.
With the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand, its power was even greater. The Gentleman's Sword was knocked away. Suddenly, Xiao Yuhan appeared, grabbed the Gentleman's Sword in mid-air, and charged at him with terrifying speed.
Xiao Yuhan showed no mercy, unleashing a powerful attack right away. Dark clouds covered the sun, a torrential rain began to fall, and thunderbolts rained down like divine punishment. He laughed wildly, and the surrounding lightning raged, indiscriminately destroying everything in its path.
Although Liu Jiantang was not in his right mind at this moment, his fighting instincts were already ingrained in his bones. He was known for his speed, and even before he became the Blood King Gu, his speed was the best in the sect. Now, his speed was even more terrifying. He appeared in front of Xiao Yuhan like a ghost and slashed at Xiao Yuhan's chest with his sword.
The shocking wound opened, but no blood flowed out. Xiao Yuhan's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He grabbed Liu Jiantang's head with a backhand and then slammed it down like a madman. With such terrifying force, Liu Jiantang's bones broke one by one.
However, as a Blood King Gu as well, his body's regenerative ability was so powerful that it was almost demonic. With a flip, he broke free from Xiao Yuhan's control. The two clashed with their swords, growing stronger with each battle. Living beings within a hundred miles fled, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
A battle between experts at the Dao Integration Realm is rare in this world, but these two have lost their minds and are becoming more and more frantic as they fight.
Liu Jiantang had the advantage in speed and his sword energy was more fierce, while Xiao Yuhan was more proficient in the thunder technique, making it difficult to determine a winner for the time being.
If it weren't for absorbing Long Xiaoyu's cultivation, which caused the nascent soul in his body to mutate, Xiao Yuhan wouldn't even be qualified to fight Liu Jiantang. And now, although he is fighting strongly, the spiritual power in his body is being consumed very quickly.
After all, without the mind to calmly analyze the battle situation, one can only rely on fighting instincts.
Ultimately, Xiao Yuhan's soul is that of a modern person. In terms of combat instincts, apart from what he learned in online games, he has little experience. So, using skills has become his greatest reliance, but this has obvious drawbacks. As a result, after these few battles, Xiao Yuhan has gradually become physically exhausted.
At this moment, the group from the Heavenly Sword Sect had arrived and, braving the fierce battle between the two, reached a relatively close and safe distance.
The fight between these two is beyond their control.
Liu Jiantang wanted to kill anyone he saw, but Xiao Yuhan was a little better; the most important person in his eyes was Liu Jiantang.
At this moment, a sinister look appeared in Liu Jiantang's expression. He kicked Xiao Yuhan into the sky, then threw out the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand. He then stomped on the ground, and a large crater immediately appeared. Liu Jiantang's figure flew into the sky, following the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Xiao Yuhan lost his balance after being kicked. If he were in his right mind, he would know that he could not dodge the attack. But at this moment, he was not rational. Seeing that his opponent was so strong, he laughed wildly, as if he was enjoying it.
In mid-air, Xiao Yuhan threw out the Gentleman's Sword, formed a hand seal, and directly disintegrated. The Gentleman's Sword broke into pieces, transforming into a sky full of righteous energy that dispersed the dark clouds. That righteous energy transformed into streams of sword intent that surrounded Xiao Yuhan, and in an instant, a rain of swords fell from the sky.
Liu Jiantang, who had just taken flight, was hit directly by this move, leaving countless holes in his body. However, Xiao Yuhan did not relax at all and descended from the sky with sword energy as he fell.
The dust and smoke from Liu Jiantang's landing blocked everyone's view. Long Xiaoyu began to worry about Liu Jiantang, but he was even more worried about Xiao Yuhan. He was afraid that Xiao Yuhan would kill Liu Jiantang, but he was also worried that Liu Jiantang could still resist.
Sure enough, a series of dragon roars suddenly came from the smoke and dust, and then nine golden dragons soared into the sky.
Liu Jiantang also disintegrated. During this trip to the Southern Frontier, three of the five swordsmen of Ling Su disintegrated, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword transformed into nine dragons to attack Xiao Yuhan.
A dragon's roar echoed between heaven and earth, its overwhelming power instilling fear in everyone.
In comparison, the righteous sword energy transformed from the disintegration of the Gentleman's Sword seems much weaker.
Shen Huairu, Ye Qingyun, and Miao Xiaodie joined forces to summon a barrier that protected everyone inside.
At this moment, the decisive battle between Xiao Yuhan and Liu Jiantang is unstoppable.
Xiao Yuhan unleashed a torrent of sword energy, transforming it into a rain of swords. Nine dragons soared into the sky, and when the two collided, a storm arose, as if the heavens were enraged. The blinding golden light made it impossible for anyone to open their eyes, and the sound of the impact was deafening.
Until finally the clouds dissipated, a ray of sunlight fell, and peace returned to the world.
When the smoke cleared, the two were seen standing on the ground. Liu Jiantang was injured by Xiao Yuhan's sword energy, and his legs were trembling. Although the Blood King Gu was constantly restoring his meridians, the remaining sword energy was still raging in his body, making him unable to move.
Xiao Yuhan stood motionless, his acupoints bursting, healing, and then bursting again. The aura of the golden dragon lingered in his body, leaving him no time to care about anything else.
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time. Long Xiaoyu seized the opportunity to step forward and remove the Gu from Liu Jiantang, but Miao Xiaodie stopped her. "Don't go. Even if you manage to remove the Gu, Liu Jiantang won't survive. Both of them still have the other's sword energy in their bodies. If the Blood King Gu's regenerative ability is lost after the Gu is removed, they will definitely die on the spot."
Long Xiaoyu immediately dismissed the idea, while Bai Yao burst into tears, worried that there was nothing she could do about her master.
Nangong Ling'er pressed down on the little girl's head from behind, "Why are you crying? Your master isn't dead yet!"
Ye Qingyun shook his head, his expression grave. "No, if we let them continue fighting, one will surely die and the other will be injured. Miss Long, is your plan really reliable?"
Long Xiaoyu shook her head and murmured, "How do I know if it's reliable or not? This is the first time the Blood King Gu has appeared, let alone a way to cure it. I can only rely on the conjectures left by my predecessors. Maybe it will work?"
