Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1063: Plot Within a Plot

Beneath the vast expanse of the void.

A bewildered member of the Calamity Blood Crocodile tribe looked up in surprise at the young man in white, who stood motionless with his sword in hand, and questioned, "Could this fellow have been scared senseless?"

"Don't spout such nonsense!"

The Calamity Blood Crocodile King regarded Ye Yun with a grave expression and decisively waved his hand, dismissing his clan member’s foolish conjecture.

The young man in white before them, merely standing in the void with his sword, appeared to have inverted the fundamental forces of heaven and earth at this precise moment.

It was as if all equilibrium originated from the sword held before his chest.

This sensation was profoundly enigmatic.

Never in his life had the Calamity Blood Crocodile King experienced such a mystical feeling.

In this instant, he felt as though he were experiencing an illusion.

A sword before his chest.

The immense power of the world was contained within that blade, rendering any attack utterly incapable of breaching it.

"Such profound swordsmanship..."

Nangong Jade's eyes gleamed with admiration as she couldn't help but whisper her awe.

This caliber of miraculous swordsmanship was an extreme rarity, even within her extraordinary life experiences.

However, despite the magical nature of the swordsmanship, the surrounding Nine-star Demon Killing Formation had been erected by nine formidable members of the Immortal Stone Tribe, all at the tenth layer of the God King Realm. Their strength was overwhelmingly immense.

Could this young man in white, relying solely on his swordsmanship, possibly withstand the onslaught of such a potent formation?

Nangong Jade's heart was filled with a touch of unease.

Though she and Ye Yun were strangers, that peculiar sense of familiarity, coupled with his timely intervention, profoundly affected her at this juncture.

The Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path seemed incapable of influencing the subtle shifts in her emotional state.

Swoosh swoosh...

Nine astonishingly colossal sword lights roared into the fray.

They struck the void approximately three zhang away from Ye Yun's sword, and the intense sword lights abruptly dissipated, inch by inch.

Due to the incredible speed of the sword lights, their disappearance was instantaneous.

"They vanished?"

Numerous members of the Calamity Blood Crocodile tribe watched this scene with utter shock, completely bewildered by what had transpired.

"Superb swordsmanship!"

Nangong Jade exclaimed with unbridled excitement, unable to contain her loud praise.

This masterful display of swordsmanship, achieving victory without apparent effort, had harmonized the great powers of heaven and earth with a single, effortless stroke, thereby dissolving the formidable assault of the Nine-star Demon Killing Formation into absolute nothingness.

Truly formidable indeed.

The myriad divine skills and cultivation techniques of the Ancient Clans, as vast as the ocean, held no swordsmanship comparable to the sword displayed before them.

"How could this mere ant withstand our strike?"

A member of the Immortal Stone Tribe gaped in disbelief, fixated on Ye Yun.

It was simply inconceivable...

Even a powerhouse at the first layer of the God Emperor Realm would have been either killed outright or grievously wounded by their combined assault from nine individuals.

Yet, this individual before them, who appeared to be merely at the eighth layer of the Divine Venerable Realm, had inexplicably nullified all incoming attacks through some mysterious swordsmanship.

"You—what sort of swordsmanship is this?"

Another member of the Immortal Stone Tribe inquired with grave concern.

"Do you deem yourself worthy of knowing?"

Ye Yun responded with a cold sneer and, in that instant, vanished from his original position.

Whoosh—

A streak of sword light erupted.

It descended like a Heavenly Dao retribution, accompanied by a fierce celestial tribulation, leaving absolutely no opportunity for resistance.

In the blink of an eye.

The sword light found its mark, striking the chest of an Immortal Stone Tribe member.

"This..."

The Immortal Stone Tribe member was stunned; the sword moved with such blinding speed that he had no chance to react.

Boom!

A resounding explosion echoed as Ye Yun's sword impacted forcefully into the chest of the stone tribesman.

Despite the sword piercing through, not a single drop of blood emerged from his body.

"Truly befitting of the Immortal Stone Tribe; this stone body possesses incredibly resilient vitality. Ordinary injuries are utterly ineffective!"

Ye Yun withdrew his sword and cast a glance at the surface of his Silver Sword, a faint smile on his lips.

"Slay him!"

Countless members of the Immortal Stone Tribe launched a frenzied assault upon Ye Yun once more.

Whoosh...

Another flash of sword light materialized.

With a resounding clang, Ye Yun swung his sword, forcefully repelling an Immortal Stone Tribe member.

The formation immediately began to exhibit discernible weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Nangong Jade rapidly formed hand seals, directing the seven-colored vortex swirling above her head to spin.

This location was fraught with extreme peril.

The spirits of the Divine Land had already orchestrated a meticulously planned, inescapable trap for her. If she did not depart swiftly, she too might find herself in grave danger.

Within the void.

Ye Yun relentlessly unleashed his sword, wreaking havoc all around, his sword lights sweeping across with devastating power in every strike.

The nine members of the Immortal Stone Tribe, despite being pierced by several swords, remained unfallen, their ferocity escalating with every passing moment of the struggle.

However.

Ye Yun's swordplay was so blindingly fast that the positions of the nine Immortal Stone Tribe members dissolved into chaos, consequently dismantling the Nine-star Demon Killing Formation and stripping it of its former might.

Just as Ye Yun was in the midst of his brutal onslaught.

Suddenly.

A spectral, translucent gray shadow ascended silently from the lake's surface.

A beam of silvery-gray sword light lanced diagonally, devoid of any killing intent, utterly silent, aimed directly at the space behind Nangong Jade's heart.

The timing of this concealed assault was impeccable.

Ye Yun was engaged in combat nearby, and Nangong Jade was fully focused on channeling the seven-colored vortex.

No one could have foreseen.

That a formidable Sword Cultivator, a master of assassination, lay hidden beneath the lake's tranquil waters.

This Sword Cultivator, possessed of extraordinary patience and formidable concealment abilities, had evaded even Ye Yun's notice.

All eyes were riveted upon the nine colossal figures of the Immortal Stone Tribe.

The blade of light approached with eerie grace.

Though the Calamity Blood Crocodiles encircled Nangong Jade, they inadvertently created openings.

This shadowy sword light slipped through one such gap.

It pierced deeply, extending languidly.

Straight towards the rear of Nangong Jade’s vital heart region.

Nangong Jade, completely unaware of the imminent covert strike, only grasped the danger when she felt it.

By then, the chilling point of the sword had already made contact with her back.

Puff!

Her body was impaled by the blade.

A searing, penetrating agony erupted from within her.

Nangong Jade winced, instantly launching an artifact with her free hand.

It was a dark, ethereal net.

The net sprang open, ensnaring the semi-transparent, ghostly entity.

Having delivered its blow, the shadow did not linger but vanished, retreating thousands of miles in an instant.

"There's another assailant?"

Ye Yun, mid-combat, witnessed this turn of events, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Someone dared to contrive a scheme within a scheme, attempting to assassinate Nangong Jade right under his watchful gaze!

Such audacious treachery warranted no forgiveness!

Fury surged through Ye Yun; he hurled the sword in his grasp with immense force.

Swoosh! Like a celestial meteor, the Silver Sword streaked across the sky, relentlessly pursuing the translucent gray figure.

Simultaneously.

A second sword materialized in Ye Yun's hand.

This was the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

With a mighty swing, Ye Yun severed the limbs of the nine Immortal Stone Tribe members.

The nine Immortal Stone Tribe members, suddenly grievously wounded, cried out in unison, plummeting into the lake.

Nangong Jade's countenance grew pallid, her heart pierced.

Yet, her entire form began to radiate a luminous layer of verdant light.

It was evident that the blade carried a potent toxin.

The assassin, having fractured her heart, was not sated and sought to poison Nangong Jade to death.

Rumble!

The seven-colored vortex in the firmament spun with increasing velocity, and a column of pure light descended, engulfing the woman in crimson.

"Take this!"

Ye Yun swiftly tossed an Eight Treasures Liuli Bottle towards Nangong Jade.

"Is this..."

Nangong Jade instinctively caught the Eight Treasures Liuli Bottle, her expression one of profound astonishment.

At that precise moment, the seven-colored pillar of light, with impossible speed, merged into the swirling vortex.

Nangong Jade dematerialized.

The surviving members of the Calamity Blood Crocodile clan remained above Blood Abyss Lake, their gazes vacant, utterly disoriented.

Meanwhile, the Silver Sword Ye Yun had unleashed continued its relentless pursuit of the translucent gray figure.

The shadowy assailant, adept in concealment and evasion, employed a myriad of evasive maneuvers to escape the Silver Sword's pursuit through the void.

Within mere heartbeats, both the figure and the sword had traversed beyond the confines of the Blood Abyss Lake's miniature world.
