Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone
Chapter 75 - 73: Escape!
Qin Yu did not know whether Fairy Su was in danger. Currently, all the members of the Hundred Sword Sect had their attention fixed above.
If I don’t slip away now, when should I?!
He was already seeking an opportunity, hoping that the renowned First Fairy would not disappoint him.
Above in the sky.
Su Xiyue stood quietly like a pine tree, her gaze calm and unperturbed as she faced the sudden emergence of two Elders from the Hundred Sword Sect. Her state of mind showed no ripples whatsoever.
The Cyan Blade Ancient Sword in her hand trembled softly, as if responding to its owner’s resolute decision. Subsequently, an extremely clear Cold Ice Sword Qi burst forth, cutting through the skies and leaving behind a dazzling sword mark.
In the blink of an eye, Su Xiyue’s figure transformed into a faint shadow, resembling the first ray of sword light breaking through the clouds at dawn. In an instant, she arrived in front of Jia Li. The speed at that moment startled even Jia Li, a seasoned cultivator with a deep cultivation, causing his pupils to contract sharply.
However, Jia Li was no ordinary person. With a century of cultivation, his keen reflexes enabled him to instantly explode with astonishing speed, his figure retreating like a ghost. At the same time, a longsword emanating a cold light condensed in his palm, which he swung with all his strength, intending to fend off the unstoppable Cold Ice Sword Qi.
Meanwhile, the other two Great Cultivators did not hesitate in the slightest, simultaneously rallying their Spiritual Power and making their moves.
After all, they faced the number one of the younger generation in the Yunlan Domain. Even they couldn’t afford to be careless and attacked with full force.
Though the Hundred Sword Sect was famous for sword cultivation, not everyone used swords.
One of them raised a venerable furnace cauldron. The cauldron’s surface glowed with the settled patina of time, expanding in an instant, standing tall like a peak from beyond the heavens, its majesty able to shake the earth.
An indescribable vast pressure spread out, causing the hearts of the cultivators present to tremble, their breaths stilled, as if even the air had solidified.
The other person continuously changed finger seals, his longsword behind him abruptly unsheathed, a flash of cold light turning into a rain of swords, dense and impenetrable, rushing straight towards Su Xiyue.
Faced with this siege from three directions, Su Xiyue showed not a hint of panic, relentlessly pursuing Jia Li with several more slashes of Cold Ice Sword Qi, seemingly ignoring the attacks from behind. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Witnessing this scene, the hearts of the cultivators below leapt to their throats.
Such powerful attacks, if hit, would not just cause serious injuries if not death.
However, just as the cauldron and countless flying swords were about to mercilessly engulf Su Xiyue, a brilliant ripple of Spiritual Power suddenly blossomed behind her, like dawn breaking over the horizon.
"Buzz!..."
Following that, a jade-like pearl floated gently, ancient and obscure runes flowing upon it. In an instant, two stunning energies erupted from it.
One resembled a comet tearing through the night sky, carrying a destructive force, colliding with the cauldron in a flash.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Boom!...
Then came a deafening roar, akin to war drums on an ancient battlefield, reverberating and shaking the hearts of everyone, forcing them to cover their ears and grimace in pain.
"Crackle!... "
While the other transformed into a vast tide of Spiritual Power, grand and magnificent, it swept forth like an enraged Sea God, stirring up towering waves and swallowing the originally sharp, whistling flying swords one by one, dissolving them into nothingness in the endless flood of Spiritual Power.
"It’s the Jade Pearl, surprisingly!"
"Cyan Mountain Sect certainly is generous, easily granting such a supreme treasure to a naive girl, aren’t they afraid of a point of no return?!"
"I, for one, would like to see how long a child relying on the power of a Spiritual Treasure can last!"
Upon seeing the Jade Pearl appear, a flash of incredulous surprise passed through the eyes of the two Elders. Subsequently, their Spiritual Power surged forth like rivers breaking their banks, their figures transforming into streaks of light heading straight for Su Xiyue.
Yet Su Xiyue remained indifferent, her offensive not slowing in the slightest but instead growing fiercer, continuously slashing solely at Jia Li.
"This Fairy is quite... stubborn."
Witnessing the scene, Qin Yu clicked his tongue.
At the start, Fairy Su declared her intent to slay Jia Li, and true to her word, her attacks were like a tide, focusing solely on that one target without sparing any effort.
However, Qin Yu could discern this too.
These three formed a triangular stance, their cultivation balanced, if one wasn’t killed first, even this Fairy might struggle to escape unscathed.
Thus, while Su Xiyue’s actions seemed somewhat reckless to outsiders, she actually had a plan.
After just a moment, Jia Li already bore dozens of sword marks, his aura gradually weakening. If not for the restraints by the other two, he might already have perished.
This truly was the power of the number one Fairy in the Yunlan Domain!
"Elders, if we continue to slack, the Sect Leader’s entrusted task may end in smoke, and it will be too late for regrets!"
In the gap between the fierce battle, Jia Li glanced back at the ’madly’ attacking two Elders behind him, a fierce look passing through his eyes. Then using the momentum to drive back Su Xiyue, he suddenly shouted.
His words prompted the Elders to become slightly stern, exchanging a grave glance, and simultaneously took out a simple array plate.
Runes flowed on it, emitting a faint spiritual light.
Jia Li also moved swiftly, opening his hand to reveal a plain array plate.
As the three of them simultaneously infused their Spiritual Power, the sky suddenly darkened, thunder roared, and the wind howled, the surrounding area seemed to be enveloped by an indescribable force.
"Roar!..."
In the next moment, a deafening beast roar echoed through the heavens, and from the dark clouds gathered above, a gigantic, illusory yet imposing Demon Beast head leisurely emerged.
"It’s the Three Talents Beast Summoning Array! My heavens, that’s an array that can annihilate Core Formation Great Powers!"
With the formation’s completion, a look of terror spread across the faces of the cultivators below, their hearts trembled.
No wonder it’s known for its fierce reputation as a killing array!
Rumored to be an ancient incomplete formation later perfected by an Array Master from the Hundred Sword Sect, once trapped within, even cultivators at the Core Formation Stage find it hard to escape.
More terrifyingly, even those cultivators standing at quite a distance could feel as if a great mountain was pressing down, threatening to crush them into blood mist.
The wind seemed to hold its breath at this moment.
Run!
Only one thought filled Qin Yu’s mind.
"Run quickly! Life hangs in the balance..."
A desperate shout pierced through the sky, survival instincts driving these cultivators to scatter and flee.
Fortunately, the fierce array was not directed at them, or they might have been obliterated the instant the array formed.
"Do not panic; anyone attempting to escape will be killed!"
Disciples from the Hundred Sword Sect tried to stop and block these fleeing cultivators, but they were ultimately too few to prevent everyone from running in all directions.
