Outside Broken Halberd City, bloodshed and slaughter reign, with no order whatsoever. All that exists is absolute power. But who can guarantee that they will always remain at the peak of their strength? Eventually, there will come a day when their power will wane. At that time, no matter how glorious you were before, you will not escape the fate of being divided up by others!
Unless, of course, you can settle in Broken Halberd City!
Broken Halberd City provides a place for cultivators who are tired of bloodshed to settle down and enjoy the rest of their lives. At the same time, it also lets more cultivators see that no matter how powerful your cultivation is, unless you can leave the Asura Ridge and climb the mountain, your demise is only a matter of time. Since that is the case, why not make plans early, such as settling down in Broken Halberd City as soon as possible? Wouldn't that be wonderful?
If Zheji City were truly so easy to settle down in, these three brothers wouldn't be so excited. Only by offering something compelling enough to impress the city lord of Zheji City can you obtain the qualification to temporarily reside there for a year. As for how to settle down afterward, that depends on how you negotiate with the city lord...
If no agreement is reached, the one-year term will expire, and the person must leave the city immediately. Otherwise, thunder will strike and the person will vanish into thin air, or they will have to repeat the previous step, just like paying rent, and gain another year of temporary residence. For a cultivator with a lifespan of over a thousand years, a mere one year is simply a joke...
But now, countless cultivators are scrambling to become this laughingstock, even if it's only for a year. After all, living an extra year is still living, and it's better than dying for no reason. Especially now, a long time has passed since the last cleansing, and it probably won't be long before it happens again!
Thinking of this, the leading cultivator's face turned fierce, and he looked determined to win. His earth-yellow flying sword suddenly expanded two sizes in mid-air, and then with a whoosh, it shot towards Leng Rushuang's back!
clang!
The attack was so powerful that no one had time to react. After a sharp chime, Li Sisui, along with Diao Bao and Leng Rushuang, were blasted away. Diao Bao, which was already flying at high speed, tumbled in mid-air. It tried several times to steady itself but failed. Finally, it crashed into a mountain and barely managed to stop. Diao Bao screeched incessantly, clearly unable to withstand the impact.
"Good heavens, let's see how many times your magic weapon can withstand this! Second brother, third brother, give it your all!"
As he spoke, the leader's face flushed red. The other two cultivators exchanged a glance, then bit their index fingers and pressed them against the leader's back. When their fingers touched his back, the leader's face turned almost purple, a truly horrifying sight!
However, under this series of bizarre operations, the earthen yellow flying sword that had been shattered by the Tranquilizing Bell slowly reformed its blade. The yellow color began to slowly turn into a jet black, and the tip of the sword gleamed with a purple eerie light. But just one glance was enough to send chills down one's spine, and one felt as if they were about to be struck by a sword!
Li Sisui seemed to sense something, his brows furrowed, and he suppressed the irritation in his chest. He patted Diao Bao's back hard. Diao Bao seemed to understand, and it cried out to the sky, wielding its two fans and once again pushing its speed to the limit, transforming into a streak of black light and rushing into the forest!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It's just ahead, a circular lake surrounded by three low hills. I'm sure it's the location marked on the treasure map. Hurry!"
With one hand constantly slapping the eagle to urge it to accelerate, and the other hand holding Leng Rushuang, she endured several impacts from the flying swords. Even with the protection of the Tranquilizing Bell, Leng Rushuang could hardly hold on. She didn't even have the strength to stand up, and her head tilted to the side as she fell. Fortunately, Li Sisui reacted quickly and caught her in his arms, preventing her from looking too badly...
Her breath was weak and feeble, her eyes unfocused, yet a resolute smile still lingered on her lips.
"Cough...cough...I can't even die. It seems I'll only accumulate more and more debt. When will I ever be able to pay it off..."
"Shut up! What do you mean 'pay back'? Nobody owes anyone anything. We're all just trying to survive. When did you become so sentimental? Hurry up! Explode, accelerate!"
"Oh, being pretentious? Ha..."
Leng Rushuang chuckled to herself, then her head lolled to the side and she lost consciousness. Li Sisui, who had just woken up and was suffering from a splitting headache, immediately had to take care of the unconscious Leng Rushuang. When did he, the protagonist of destiny, fall to this state?
"That's it! That lake! Let's rush in!"
Whoosh!
Behind him, a huge purple-black flying sword followed like a shadow. Although the sword was much larger, its speed was not reduced at all. If it weren't for the Eagle Explosion's desperate flapping, it would probably have been caught up long ago. Fortunately, Leng Rushuang hadn't been stingy with her pills, which laid the groundwork for the Eagle Explosion's current speed explosion!
Boom!
Looking at the lush green lake before them, Diao Bao plunged in without hesitation. No sooner had they entered than the purple-black flying sword followed. Strangely, the purple-black flying sword did not sink into the lake. Instead, it seemed to crash into transparent glass, exploding with a loud bang and turning into countless fragments that scattered across the sky and earth!
"This...how is this possible? Where is this?"
The Asura Ridge was desolate and secluded, filled with traps and remnants of ancient formations, in addition to demons and human cultivators. Of course, it also contained many cave dwellings and treasures left behind by ancestors. Therefore, the leading cultivator, after a brief moment of surprise, quickly regained his composure, solemnly examining the green lake, and hesitated before saying:
"These two have such incredible luck! How could this even happen? I wonder if it's a trap or an ancestral cave..."
"Boss, what do we do now?"
"What should we do? Of course we'll wait. Maybe we can get in soon. Let's hurry over there and get ready. At least set up the illusion array first, so that we won't be seen by others or disturbed by any demonic beasts. If those two get away, the three of us Qu brothers can forget about living in Shura Ridge, hmph!"
