The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 131:
Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Unyielding! The Cold Light Sword as Heavy as Ten Thousand Jin
“What do we do?”
“Run!”
Huo Yunjie hastily controlled his sword, pulling Baixue Ding along as they sped down the deserted streets, reaching their maximum speed.
The Flying Frenzy Lizard watched the two fleeing people with cold indifference, simply spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, as if eyeing two escaping prey.
Although it was a Demonic Beast in the Transformation Stage, it had not chosen to transform but remained in its beast form, having reached a stage comparable to ninety percent of the Element Gathering Realm, infinitely close to the first layer of Element Gathering.
Its strength was no less than nine times that of the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Refining!
In the eyes of the powerful Flying Frenzy Lizard, these few cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm were too weak; with a mere gentle slash of its wing, it could eradicate them.
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng sat on the rooftop, somewhat restless.
“I wonder how Yun Jie and Mo Ying are doing. They couldn’t have encountered danger, could they?”
Ye Feng stood up and started pacing back and forth on the rooftop.
Ancient Town of Quicksand.
Huo Yunjie, taking Baixue Ding with him, quickly fled and soon left the vicinity of the Ancient Town of Quicksand, coincidentally running into Daoist Wang who was also escaping.
“Idiot! Don’t run in the same direction as me!” Daoist Wang cursed loudly, decisively turning and fleeing in another direction, about to disappear into the dense forest.
In the sky above.
The Flying Frenzy Lizard revealed a human-like sinister smile, finally making its move.
Crackle!
The sound of tearing through the air rang out, and the Flying Frenzy Lizard crossed a hundred meters in an instant, its speed increasing rapidly, like a Divine Sword descending from heaven, striking at Daoist Wang who was trying to escape.
“Why is it always me?”
“When the Giant Earth Ape attacked, it chose me first, and now the Flying Frenzy Lizard attacks, it’s also me first. Could it be that I’m just that unlucky?”
Daoist Wang howled to the sky, extremely unwilling.
He didn’t run, because the Flying Frenzy Lizard was too fast; there was no time to escape.
Daoist Wang, with numerous questions, was swallowed whole by the fast-approaching Flying Frenzy Lizard, with nothing left behind.
Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding witnessed this scene, their faces drained of all color.
“Hiss!”
The Flying Frenzy Lizard’s powerful hind legs forcefully kicked the ground, its wings flapped at the same time, and in an instant, it reached a hundred meters in the sky, its intimidating eyes fixed on Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding, baring a cruel smile.
On the banks of Flowing Water River, the Zhou Couple flew with their swords, their speed fast, but even they felt a chill running down their spines at this moment.
“Die!”
The Flying Frenzy Lizard emitted a sound eerily similar to the word “die,” its wings flapping as if a Divine Sword was slashing towards the nearby Baixue Ding.
“Quickly, go!”
Huo Yunjie placed a palm on Baixue Ding’s back, shoving her dozens of meters to the side, and he himself was pushed back several meters as a result.
Boom!
The spot where the two of them had just been was torn asunder by the Flying Frenzy Lizard’s sharp claws; whether rock or soil, both crumbled like tofu with a single swipe.
A wave of powerful energy swept out, injuring Huo Yunjie.
The Flying Frenzy Lizard was clearly enjoying this sensation of toying with its prey, staring at the nearer Huo Yunjie but then suddenly turning to kill Baixue Ding.
“Streaming Light Sword Qi!”
Huo Yunjie didn’t want to watch Baixue Ding fall before his eyes and mustered all his strength to control the Cold Light Sword, stabbing straight out and striking the backdoor of the Flying Frenzy Lizard.
“Roar!”
The Flying Frenzy Lizard turned in anger, its wing ready to slash and break the Cold Light Sword, but fortunately, Huo Yunjie was quick to react, immediately sheathing the Cold Light Sword and then sprinting into the distance.
“Whoosh.”
The Flying Frenzy Lizard caught up with Huo Yunjie in the blink of an eye, its tail sweeping him off his feet and causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground in a critically injured state. Then, a claw shimmering with cold light fell, ready to tear Huo Yunjie to shreds.
“Stop!”
With a shiver, Baixue Ding threw out all her remaining lower-grade talismans, but the Flying Frenzy Lizard just sneered disdainfully and, with a wave of its wing, extinguished the thunderous light created by the exploding talismans.
Afterward, it extended its claw, about to rend Huo Yunjie apart.
Facing the descending claw, Huo Yunjie felt an extreme sense of unwillingness. Memories flooded his mind, and within his vision, he seemed to see the tall and formidable silhouette of Ye Feng.
“Yun Jie, no matter when, you must never give up. A cultivator refines their heart; only with a strong heart can you surpass the limits!”
Huo Yunjie seemed to hear Ye Feng’s words, the resolve in his eyes growing stronger.
“Sword Drawing Technique!”
In this moment, Huo Yunjie had a flash of enlightenment, instantly gathering his spiritual energy and rotating it at a speed beyond his limits. It surged into the blade of the Cold Light Sword so fiercely that even through the scabbard, one could feel a fierce aura.
He began to draw his sword!
But at this moment, the Cold Light Sword felt as heavy as ten thousand catties. With every inch he pulled it out, the blade released an even more dazzling sword light, dazzling the eyes of the Flying Frenzy Lizard to the point it closed them involuntarily, its claw’s speed suddenly decreased.
When Huo Yunjie had pulled the Cold Light Sword out a foot’s length, the terrible sword light burst forth, “slash” severing half of the Flying Frenzy Lizard’s claw.
However, at this moment, Huo Yunjie realized he had long been drained of strength. The scabbard exerted a huge gravitational pull, helplessly retracting the foot of the blade that had just been drawn.
Thud!
Huo Yunjie fell to the ground, completely out of energy.
He stared blankly at the sky, realizing that there was no silhouette of Ye Feng up there; just the angry and chilling gaze of the Flying Frenzy Lizard.
All that had just happened, had it all been his imagination?
“What a fierce Sword Qi!”
The Zhou Couple, madly fleeing in the distance, looked back and happened to see the moment Huo Yunjie drew his sword, their eyes pained, almost shedding tears.
“What a pity, the Sword Drawing Technique is not yet mastered, he couldn’t even fully draw the sword. Otherwise, with that single stroke, he could have slain anything beneath the Element Gathering Realm,” Madame Zhou lamented.
She had seen many exceptional geniuses, but had never seen anyone like Huo Yunjie, who could realize enlightenment in such a crucial moment.
Although the Zhou Couple wished to turn back and save him, they knew they weren’t strong enough, and going back would mean certain death, so they could only speed up and flee into the mountains and forests.
At a distance, Baixue Ding was stunned.
She had never seen such a resplendent sword light, like a torch in the dark night, igniting the flame of hope.
However, when she saw Huo Yunjie unconscious on the ground, Baixue Ding felt deflated, weak all over, kneeling on the riverbank’s pebbles.
In that instant, she felt a profound sense of loss.
“Die!”
The Flying Frenzy Lizard, seeing its own claw partly severed, was filled with a raging fury as it lunged to bite down.
But just at the critical moment, the area was illuminated by a resplendent sword light, bright as day.
Rip!
Without even a chance to escape, the Flying Frenzy Lizard was sliced by the Sword Qi, its head sent soaring into the air, rolling to the side.
Then, that bulky body crashed down, about to crush Huo Yunjie, but in the nick of time, a figure with short hair skimmed along the ground, grabbed Huo Yunjie, and rolled to the side, saving his life.
“Thank goodness I was in time!”
Baixue Ding checked Huo Yunjie’s breathing and found that he had only lapsed into a deep coma. She breathed a sigh of relief, took out a family heirloom Healing Qi Pill, and carefully administered it to him.
Then, Baixue Ding raised her head to look at the sky.
Above, there was a sword suspended in the air, with five figures standing on it, all of them women.
The woman in the yellow dress with a veiled face emitted a powerful aura of the first layer of the Element Gathering Realm, her right hand still holding a sword gesture with lingering light flickering at her fingertips.
Clearly, it was this woman who had slain the Flying Frenzy Lizard.
Baixue Ding, looking at the woman in the yellow dress and veiled face, noticed the four maids behind her all possessed the cultivation level of the ninth peak of the Qi Refining Realm. Each had a round jade pendant at their waist, inscribed with the golden characters “Divine,” “Wind,” “Sword,” “Sect,” shimmering in the dark night.
“It’s a Sword Child of the Divine Wind Sword Sect!”
Seeing this unique attire, Baixue Ding recalled her ancestors’ records and sharply inhaled.
