Master of Heaven and Earth - Chapter 111 - Blue Silk!
This sword contained a shocking killing intent; it was the killing blow that Xuelan had to make. All of Blood Lion’s escape routes were enveloped by this strike.
Blood Lion had nowhere to flee, nowhere to retreat!
“Roar!”
Blood Lion let out a desperate roar, but suddenly the sound began to weaken, as a pure white flying sword pierced through its head.
Xuelan withdrew the sword and effortlessly cut off the two tentacles-these would make excellent refining materials!
“Ah!”
A horrific cry echoed from the fifth floor. Leng Yan, who was entangled with the king snake, felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing the sound!
“Yunyao!”
Leng Yan shouted angrily, swinging the Immortal-Slaying Sword with all his might to force the king snake back, and without a second thought, he flew towards the fifth floor. However, the king snake relentlessly pursued him, moving at an incredible speed.
At that moment, Leng Yan’s mind was solely focused on Shui Yunyao’s safety, completely ignoring the king snake behind him! Xuelan noticed Leng Yan losing control of his emotions and quickly flew over, slamming the golden mountain down to block the king snake.
Having breached the cave on the fourth floor, Leng Yan appeared directly on the fifth floor. As soon as he entered, he was surrounded by thousands of cultivators from the Demon Sect in the unification realm and golden core realm. Leng Yan roared in rage, and the blood-red altar’s formation spun violently. Anyone within the altar’s radius was instantly regarded by Leng Yan as sacrificial materials.
Even the golden core cultivators could not escape. With the massive influx of sacrificial power, Leng Yan’s body was filled with strength.
If it weren’t for his body having been enhanced and remodeled with Dragon Emperor’s essence blood, such an overwhelming amount of energy would have caused him to explode!
In the late stages of the great tribulation of wind and fire, Leng Yan soared through, and anyone who came close to him and could not resist the altar’s power was transformed into energy that fueled Leng Yan’s growing strength.
In the distance, Leng Yan spotted the white figure and a strand of blue silk-it was Shui Yunyao!
At that moment, Shui Yunyao was surrounded by four cultivators in the heaven and earth dharma form, her body covered in wounds, blood staining her white robe!
“Who dares to touch Yunyao? I will make him die!”
Leng Yan erupted in a dazzling golden glow, and the blood-red altar expanded to double its size with his roar. Hundreds of Demon Sect cultivators who could not dodge in time instantly turned into piles of white bones amidst their screams!
“Leng Yan!” Shui Yunyao turned around and, upon seeing his blood-red eyes, strong as she was, tears of warmth and happiness filled her eyes!
Shui Yunyao didn’t expect Leng Yan to appear here. She never imagined that he would charge into a dangerous situation for her! In that moment, her toughness faded away! In that moment, her wounds no longer hurt! In that moment, even if she were to die, she would have no regrets!
Because she knew that there was a man willing to give his life for her, a man who truly loved her! Love meant sharing life and death! Love meant enduring until time itself ceases! She felt this in that moment.
In that instant, Leng Yan became her eternity; his furious, tense expression was deeply engraved in her mind.
“Yunyao!”
Seeing Shui Yunyao covered in blood, with her beautiful yet pale face, and the blood at the corner of her mouth made Leng Yan’s heart ache like a knife!
“Damn it! You all should die!”
Leng Yan went mad once more, the blood vessels in his eyes becoming denser, and as the sacrificial power surged, his strength was now close to that of the heaven and earth dharma form.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword swept through, instantly clearing a path for Leng Yan, severing hundreds of demon cultivators in half, their souls fleeing in panic.
“Third Brother, stop him, give us time to kill Shui Yunyao! That is our primary mission!” The leading demon cultivator shouted loudly, and the black mist dispersed again, launching an attack towards Shui Yunyao.
“Leng Yan, I won’t die! I want to be with you!” Faced with the combined attack of the three, Shui Yunyao was already on her last legs. But now, a warm feeling drove away her helplessness, a spark of emotion ignited her battle intent.
Shui Yunyao’s soft smile seemed like she was speaking to herself, but at that moment, a powerful aura burst forth from her body-a defiance against fate. And with the rising aura, her hair suddenly turned deep blue!
“She has broken through the second layer of the memory seal! Quickly kill her, the Lansi tribe is coming!” The leading demon cultivator shouted in panic.
Upon seeing Shui Yunyao’s sudden surge in strength, Leng Yan felt a surge of joy in his heart just as the demon cultivators in the heaven and earth dharma form charged over.
“Summon Wind!”
The Summon Wind technique instantly coalesced, and the wind dragon took on a gray hue, stretching for thousands of feet, exuding an extraordinary might.
Faced with Leng Yan’s attack, the demon cultivator known as Third Brother did not dare to be careless. His cultivation level was only at the initial stage of the heaven and earth dharma form, which was not much different from Leng Yan’s current strength!
Third Brother swung a massive black blade down, summoning a roaring black tiger that charged towards the wind dragon.
“Boom!”
The two magical techniques collided, creating a massive storm. Leng Yan let out a loud roar, lightning snakes crackling around him, as the figure of the thunder god manifested behind him once again.
This thunder god, towering at five hundred feet, was composed entirely of concentrated thunder, his booming voice sounding like mere breathing. In his hands, he raised a hundred-foot-long thunder hammer high into the air and brought it crashing down!
“Demon banner, block for me!”
Third Brother was struck with alarm and hurriedly activated his magical treasure to intercept Leng Yan’s assault.
“Boom!”
The enormous thunder hammer smashed down onto the demon banner. The banner, once filled with demonic energy, was instantly crushed under the thunder’s might, the fabric igniting into flames. This high-grade treasure tool could not withstand the ravages of the Purple Sky Thunder Technique.
“Get out of my way!”
In an instant, Leng Yan appeared before Third Brother, thrusting his sword, while the Slayer of Immortals Sword attacked from the side.
With the dual assault, Third Brother found it hard to counter such sharp attacks and quickly withdrew, but Leng Yan pursued closely, unleashing waves of sword qi from the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
“Damn it! Third Brother, you better hold him off! Otherwise, none of us will make it out alive!” The leading demon cultivator shouted in despair. With Shui Yunyao having broken through the second layer of her seal, she was now at the initial stage of defying the heavens and changing fate. Among them, only he was in the late stage of the heaven and earth dharma form, while the other two were in the initial to mid-stages, making it exceedingly difficult to deal with Shui Yunyao. If Leng Yan broke through, completing their mission would be nearly impossible!
Leng Yan, however, was even more anxious. He knew his circumstances-his battle faith’s threefold power was on the verge of vanishing, leaving him with only half an hour of time. Meanwhile, the sacrificial power was in an even worse state; once it dissipated, Leng Yan would be rendered powerless. This desperation spurred him to fight with all his might.
“Understood! If you want to get past me, you’ll have to kill me first!” Third Brother felt cornered, knowing the only option left was to fight to the death!
Suddenly halting his movement, he roared sharply, and three dark shadows shot out around him. These shadows moved with incredible speed, radiating a foul stench!
“Iron Corpse, tear him apart!”
“Die!”
Leng Yan unleashed a powerful palm strike, transforming the Fire Spirit Seal into a hundred-foot-tall crimson flame hand that soared through the air, creating intense heat waves in its wake.
The Iron Corpse was another technique of the Corpse Yin Sect, a process that involved soaking freshly dead cultivators in herbal medicine, followed by nourishing them with essence blood. During this time, all of their sinews and bones would be meticulously refined using weapon refining techniques, ultimately creating a successful puppet.
These puppets were as tough as high-grade treasure tools, possessing copper-like muscles and iron bones, and since they were nourished by their own essence blood, they were more responsive and easier to control.
The three Iron Corpses charged in from different directions. Leng Yan’s Fire Spirit Seal repelled the one directly in front of him, but the other two had already closed the distance. Leng Yan sheathed the Slayer of Immortals Sword and grasped the Immortal-Slaying Sword to focus on countering the Iron Corpses.
“Bang! Bang!”
The Immortal-Slaying Sword, a supreme-grade treasure tool, struck the body of the Iron Corpse but only left a white mark behind. Its desiccated skin was like parchment, peeling away under Leng Yan’s attacks, revealing stark white bones beneath.
“Hmph! These three Iron Corpses are bolstered by the magical power of void tribulation cultivators. What good is a supreme-grade treasure tool against them? Hahaha!” Third Brother exclaimed with delight, seeing Leng Yan pinned down.
“Stay right there!” Leng Yan, having attacked with hundreds of sword strikes, realized the Iron Corpses’ strength. A plan formed in his mind.
“Freeze!”
Leng Yan pointed at one of the Iron Corpses, and suddenly the surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing levels. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed three water dragon techniques.
The water dragons crashed into the Iron Corpses, drenching them thoroughly. As the temperature had dropped to freezing point, the water instantly turned to ice, encasing all three Iron Corpses in solid frost in mere moments.
Navigating around the immobilized Iron Corpses, Leng Yan shot out hundreds of ice spears, all aimed directly at Third Brother.
With a loud shout, Third Brother clapped his hands, sending a wave of demon fog that shattered the ice spears. However, when the fog dissipated, he quickly found that he had lost sight of Leng Yan.
