The canyon was a dimly lit place, and the entire canyon was stained red with blood.
Hundreds of monster corpses lay scattered in the canyon, their bodies torn to pieces. A white figure stood in mid-air, surrounded by 365 golden longswords.
These golden longswords formed two circles, each sword gleaming with golden light and bearing profound black runes on its blade.
Anyone who saw this scene would be extremely surprised, because these longswords were not formed from strands of sword energy; each one was a real sword, and each one was a high-grade spiritual weapon.
Finding a high-grade spiritual weapon longsword in the entire Canglan Realm is not difficult, but three hundred and sixty-five identical high-grade spiritual weapon swords are truly unique. A sword formation composed of such longswords would have destructive power comparable to a celestial weapon.
The woman in white was dressed in men's clothing, with soft armor underneath her white robe to conceal her figure. However, her stunning beauty made it easy to tell that she was actually a female cultivator.
The man in white is A Yao's metal-elemental clone.
With a wave of her hand, the white-clad A Yao conjured countless demon beast inner cores from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood on the ground. These colorful inner cores floated around her like countless jewels, a beautiful sight. A Yao stored them all in her storage bag, then selected some demon beast bones and blood to collect before transforming into a streak of light and shooting off into the distance.
White-clad Ayao flew southeast for about half an hour, and her divine sense witnessed the following scene:
Two towering peaks stood in front, and below them flowed a magnificent river. In the canyon, on the river, a female cultivator was fleeing in a sorry state. Behind her was a savage beast comparable to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The female cultivator was dressed in blue, possessing a stunningly beautiful face—a rare beauty. She was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and a jade pendant on her chest emitted a blue light. Behind her was a pair of ethereal wings. The beast behind her resembled a giant bat, with four eyes and two tails. With each flap of its wings, streaks of azure wind blades attacked the female cultivator.
The blue-clad female cultivator's cultivation level was far inferior to that of the savage beast; if it weren't for the jade pendant on her chest, she would have been caught up long ago.
If things continue like this, she's likely in grave danger.
Song Yan and the white-clad A Yao recognized the female cultivator.
Song Yan, the daughter of the sect leader of the Glazed Tile Sect, was engaged to Lu Yunli, the elder brother of A Yao, long ago. In her previous life, she and Lu Yunli became cultivation partners according to their engagement, but they were a pair of resentful lovers.
On the night of their wedding, Lu Xuening suffered a qi deviation while practicing martial arts. Lu Yunli abandoned his new wife to take care of Lu Xuening. Song Yan felt deeply humiliated and was extremely dissatisfied with both her husband Lu Yunli and her sister-in-law Lu Xuening.
Ayao understands her; anyone would be dissatisfied in her situation.
Lu Yunli isn't skilled in medicine, and with so many brothers like Lu Xuening, does he really need to abandon his bride to take care of them?
However, Lu Yunli didn't think he had done anything wrong. He even thought that Song Yan's dissatisfaction was due to her pettiness and that the woman was being nosy. Later, when Song Yan and Lu Xuening had several conflicts, Lu Yunli always sided with Lu Xuening.
In the end, Lu Yunli attacked Song Yan for Lu Xuening's sake, severely injuring her and causing her to miscarry. The sect leader of the Liuli Sect was furious, and the two star-crossed lovers finally separated.
However, Song Yan developed inner demons because of Lu Yunli's affair, and died while trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
In her past life, her sister-in-law Song Yan had treated A Yao quite well. Seeing Song Yan in trouble, how could A Yao not help?
As Bai Yi A Yao flew towards Song Yan, she took out a white mask from her storage bag and put it on her face. The mask covered her face and changed her aura.
————
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the river surface, towering columns of water, sometimes tens of meters high, kept bursting open.
Song Yan gritted her teeth, dodging attacks from behind as she flew forward. However, the canyon environment significantly hampered her speed.
The ferocious beast relentlessly pursued her from behind. Suddenly, the beast spread its wings, and rings of blue, ripple-like light struck the giant rocks on the mountain in front of her. The rocks shattered and fell downwards, all the pieces hurtling towards Song Yan. In a panic, Song Yan kept changing her shape to dodge, but as she dodged, the ferocious beast, which looked like a giant bat, was already above her head.
When she turned around, she saw the other party's gaping maw. Her face paled as she watched as Song Yan was about to be swallowed whole by this ferocious beast.
A white figure sped over from afar, grabbed Song Yan, and vanished in a flash, leaving the gaping maw biting empty air.
Then, fifty feet away in mid-air, the white-clad "young man" appeared, carrying the blue-clad female cultivator. Song Yan looked up in surprise. She saw a face covered by a white mask, saw the smooth jawline of the person, and smelled a faint fragrance on the person, like plum blossoms.
The unfamiliar man carried her horizontally, while the savage beast at the late Nascent Soul stage roared and charged towards them.
Song Yan was once again terrified and turned pale. But then she saw the white-clad man who had saved her put her down, flick his sleeve, and beams of golden light shot out in front of her.
Those streaks of golden light were actually flying swords, which formed a sword array. The sound of swords ringing out rang out, and each golden sword ignited with golden sword energy, making the already high-grade spiritual weapon even sharper.
Under Song Yan's shocked gaze, 365 golden flying swords dismembered the late-stage Nascent Soul beast with astonishing speed.
It was dismembered into pieces of flesh and blood, which fell into the river and instantly stained the surface red.
A flying sword set composed of 365 high-grade spiritual artifacts—such a set is unique in the entire Canglan Realm. Perhaps it wouldn't be so extravagant if someone else used it, but who is A Yao?
She was a Celestial Emperor in her past life!
With such a set of flying swords, killing a beast in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in an instant would be a piece of cake.
But Song Yan had no idea about any of this; she was completely dumbfounded.
Even as the daughter of the Glazed Tile Sect's leader, she had never seen so many high-grade spiritual artifacts displayed together. And to have so easily kill a late-stage Nascent Soul beast that had nearly killed her—who exactly was this white-robed man before her?
With a wave of her hand, A Yao in white sent a blue inner core flying towards her from the river. It was the inner core of the late-stage Nascent Soul beast from before.
Song Yan stared at the white-robed man before her, unable to discern his cultivation level at all. Shocked as she was, she immediately clasped her hands in thanks, saying, "Song Yan of the Glazed Tile Sect thanks Senior for saving us!"
In her view, the other party must have a higher cultivation level than her to have killed that savage beast so easily. It must be a senior expert from some sect or school! Although almost all the Void Refinement stage experts from various sects had left, it couldn't be ruled out that some senior experts might still be lingering there.
Even if he wasn't a Void Refinement stage senior, he must have at least reached the Great Perfection of the late Nascent Soul stage! Otherwise, he couldn't have instantly killed a late Nascent Soul stage beast, even with that exaggerated set of flying sword magic weapons.
"You're welcome!"
The clear male voice sounded very young and pleasant, like a warm spring flowing gently.
