Chapter 536: 534. Each With Their Own ulterior motives
Translator: 549690339
The white sword Qi inside the blood phoenix seemed to want to cut off everything. It exploded and resisted the icy blue sword Qi formed by Yan Mingkong’s Nether River.
Both Chen Luoyang and Yan Mingkong’s eyes flashed.
Although Yan Mingkong had never seen a similar sword intent before, she recognized it at first glance based on her familiarity and understanding of the Nether Sword Principle. At this moment, Xue Yeyu’s sword way was bursting with some sword intent of the Ultimate Sword.
Although it was different from the Underworld Sword that she cultivated, it came from the same source.
When Chen Luoyang saw this scene through Daoist Banhai’s perspective, he immediately recalled that half a year ago, during the bloody battle between the Heavenly River and the Blood River, Blood River Patriarch had also used a similar sword path.
It was a Supreme Sword that originated from Xie Xingmang.
Back when he was still in the Divine Lands, Chen Luoyang had met Sword Emperor Tao WangJi on the island.
At that time, Jie Xingmang was recuperating in the next room. However, the faint and vicious sword intent that was spreading out left a deep impression on Chen Luoyang, and he remembered it until now.
Comparing the two, one could also tell that Xue Yeyu had gained something from secretly capturing the starlight.
Over the past half a year, he had gradually comprehended some of the Absolute Sword’s sword intent from Xie Xingmang.
However, compared to Blood River Patriarch Xue Cangqiong, Xue Yeyu’s gains were limited.
Now that he was forced into a dead end, although his sword attack was swift and fierce, it still appeared immature in the eyes of Chen Luoyang and Yan Mingkong.
Yan Mingkong opened the Gates of the Netherworld with the River Styx, and his sword will manifested the Purgatory of the Netherworld to suppress the mortal world. Even though Xue Yeyu’s cultivation was higher than hers, she could not resist it.
The Blood River Elder could only try his best to escape from Nether Prison.
The Blood Phoenix Reincarnation Technique merged with the sword intent of the Ultimate Sword and was pushed to his limit.
Finally, with a flash of blood, he escaped from Nether Prison.
However, the blood phoenix and the white sword Qi were frozen by Nether Prison at the same time. It was as if their lives had fallen into death and were swallowed by the Nether Prison Gate formed by Yan Mingkong’s sword will.
Xue Yeyu’s figure was revealed in the blood light that had escaped.
There was a terrifying sword scar on his body that almost covered half of his body.
There was no blood flowing out of the wound, only dark ice crystals.
Blood Night Rain could not feel any pain.
The wound was completely numb.
He tried to use his sword qi to shatter the ice crystals, but it was useless.
On the contrary, the ice crystals spread to other parts of his body through his wounds.
Blood River Elder’s efforts could only delay the ice crystals that meant death from freezing him up.
The Seventeenth Level Blood River Elder, “Long Night Blood Rain” Xue Yeyu, was defeated by Yan Mingkong’s sword.
He didn’t dare to fight Yan Mingkong anymore. He quickly turned into a bloody light and tried his best to escape.
Yan Mingkong’s expression was carefree and he continued to chase after Xue
Yeyu.
Chen Luoyang’s clone, Daoist Banhai, was still following behind at a moderate pace, taking in everything.
Although this clone of his did not cultivate the sword, he had seen more than one Nether Sword Technique.
At this moment, he was deep in thought as he looked at Yan Mingkong’s hands. He had a deeper understanding of the extremely evil sword technique.
After all, Yan Mingkong had just stepped into the Martial Saint Realm, and he was in a hurry to find Xue Yeyu to decipher the starlight.
Although her strength had improved greatly, she was still in the growth stage of comprehending and transforming her own sword path.
The Sword Qi of the Netherworld River under his feet was like the River of Forgetfulness and the Yellow Spring. It was not pure enough, or else it would not have been gray just now.
According to Chen Luoyang’s comprehension of the three styles of the Nether Sword, after Yan Mingkong’s foundation was stabilized, his sword would most likely become transparent after transforming into the Nether River.
Now that Yan Mingkong continued to chase after Xue Yeyu, he could see that the sword radiance under her feet was getting lighter and lighter.
It was as if the River Styx was becoming clearer and clearer.
From the looks of it, she must have known that her newly comprehended sword technique was not yet fully mastered.
However, she treated Xue Yeyu and the enemies she might encounter next as her sharpening stones.
After exchanging blows with Blood Night Rain just now, she immediately showed signs of being reborn.
She was determined to obtain Jie Xingmang’s Absolute Sword.
Chen Luoyang smiled when he saw this.
Although he had defeated Xue Yeyu, it would not be easy for Yan Mingkong to succeed.
It was not too much to say that the commotion caused by the clash between two Martial Saints was earth-shattering.
Many experts had already gathered around the Chongguang Ridge of the Green Mist Mountain Range.
The people from the Celestial River Branch were nearby, but they had yet to find their exact location.
Now that Yan Mingkong had fought with Xue Yeyu, he immediately pointed out the direction for the people of the Heavenly River.
A few bright sword energies were already shining in the distant horizon, chasing after Yan Mingkong, Taoist Banhai, and Xue Yeyu.
The other party quickly caught up.
Yan Mingkong seemed unmoved.
Clearly, her plan was to take down Xue Yeyu and Jie Xingmang before the people from the Heavenly River arrived.
Her speed was already above Xue Yeyu’s, and now that Xue Yeyu was injured, she couldn’t outrun her. However, Yan Mingkong was also distracted to guard against Taoist Banhai who was traveling with her.
This sloppy Daoist, who seemed to have come for the Supreme Sword, seemed to be watching a show. He remained calm and did not make a move. His actions were really abnormal.
Compared to the others, Yan Mingkong was most afraid of what this weird Taoist Banhai was planning.
However, with the appearance of the people from the Heavenly River, the experts from the Wilderness could arrive at any time. Yan Mingkong made a prompt decision and quickly caught up with Xue Yeyu.
Without saying a word, she fiercely stabbed her sword at Xue Yeyu’s vital point, as if she wanted to kill him with a single strike.
Xue Yeyu felt the threat of the other party’s sword, as if the Grim Reaper was blowing at the back of his neck.
He secretly gritted his teeth and suddenly unfurled his wide sleeves.
Even though the Blood River had tried to capture Yan Mingkong, and there was a grudge between the two, Xue Yeyu believed that the other party was not just here for revenge.
Just like how he coveted Yan Mingkong’s three Nether Sword Techniques, he believed that Yan Mingkong, who had mastered three sword techniques, would also want his fourth sword technique.
The white-robed woman’s target was Xie Xingmang.
The Blood River Elder gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered.
But in the end, he still shook out a huge bundle from his sleeve.
There seemed to be a person wrapped in the bundle.
The blood-red cloth was torn apart, revealing a black-robed youth.
Chen Luoyang looked over through Daoist Banhai’s perspective. It was the fourth disciple of the Sword Emperor, Xie Xingmang, who had been abducted by the Blood River in the Divine Lands.
Xue Yeyu grabbed Xie Xingmang and raised his hand, intending to throw him to Daoist Banhai.
Old Demon Blood River made a prompt decision and prepared to cut off his tail to escape.
He had yet to obtain the complete Sword Intent of the Absolute Sword from Xie Xingmang, so he naturally felt extremely pained to throw him away.
However, if he were to run with this kid, he would only be caught and killed by Yan Mingkong.
Comparing the two, Xue Yeyu could only give up on Xie Xingmang.
Killing Xie Xingmang would result in everyone breaking up. No one would be able to get anything good out of it. It was an option, but as long as there was a chance of survival, Xue Yeyu naturally hoped that he could escape.
However, he could not hand Xie Xingmang over to Yan Mingkong directly.
After this woman took over, she would most likely continue to hunt him down.
Xue Yeyu decided to take a gamble and hand Xie Xingmang over to the sloppy Daoist.
He had diverted the trouble to the other side and caused the two pursuers to fight over him. That was why he, Blood Night Rain, had the chance to escape.
It was even possible to find an opportunity to turn the tables.
The sloppy Daoist seemed to be traveling with Yan Mingkong, but the wariness between the two of them was seen by Xue Yeyu, who was experienced in the martial world.
Although he couldn’t see through Daoist Banhai’s cultivation, based on his speed, Xue Yeyu knew that he couldn’t be underestimated.
If they attacked together, it would be even harder for Blood Night Rain to resist.
The other party’s strange look of standing aside made Xue Yeyu guess that the two enemies had their own ulterior motives. Yan Mingkong would probably not agree to give Xie Xingmang to Daoist Banhai.
As he thought about this, he was about to throw Xie Xingmang at Daoist
Banhai.
However, at this moment, beams of light suddenly shot into the sky below their feet.
The light seemed to form a cage that enveloped them.
Xue Yeyu’s eyes lit up when he saw this. He immediately changed his mind and hid Xie Xingmang again. Then, he continued to fly forward.
His body passed through the light beams that were like prison bars, and he seemed to be completely unaffected.
When Yan Mingkong and Taoist Banhai were about to pass through, the beams of light contained a dangerous aura and exploded into balls of fire, trying to swallow them up.
Yan Mingkong’s expression did not change. He clenched his right palm as if he was holding an invisible divine blade. As he waved it, the Sword Qi of the Netherworld River froze all the flames.
The dancing flame was also in the blue ice, like a painting.
But at this moment, they had also lost their lives.
Yan Mingkong broke through the obstacles in front of him and rushed out of the cage.
However, after being stopped, Xue Yeyu gained some precious time. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his injuries. He turned into a bloody light and quickly escaped.
Yan Mingkong didn’t say anything and followed closely behind.
Daoist Banhai’s body seemed to be surrounded by purple clouds.
A black shadow emerged from the auspicious cloud and let out a mighty dragon roar as it came out of the cage.
He looked down at the mountains below him.
Just now, that should have been the means of the Wilderness.
Cang Lan Tie had taken in Xue Yeyu to live in seclusion here, but he obviously did not forget to guard against this Old Demon Blood River.
Practicing the sword in the blood river required the slaughter of a large number of living beings.
Ashen Mist Tie was naturally worried that Blood Night Rain would cause trouble in his territory.
Xue Yeyu was rather sensible. For more than half a year, he had been keeping a low profile and focusing on studying the Absolute Sword that he had obtained from the Unravel of Starlight.
The surveillance of the Azure Haze Race didn’t yield any results.
However, today’s battle between Yan Mingkong and Xue Yeyu had undoubtedly alarmed the experts of the Azure Haze Clan.
The surveillance from before had helped Blood Night Rain.
However, this action only slowed down Yan Mingkong and Taoist Banhai’s footsteps.
Xue Yeyu was heavily injured, and Yan Mingkong soon caught up to him again.
However, at this moment, a bright light rose from the distance and struck Yan Mingkong like lightning!
The strength of the newcomer was even stronger than Xue Yeyu..
