Chapter 1249: Chapter 427: Divine Blood Sword
“Brother Xu, what should we do?”
Under the pressure of Zhu Guang’s gaze, Huang Xiu instinctively stepped back half a step, and urgently transmitted her voice to Ji Yuan.
With her previous experience, she was extremely certain, knowing her strength was inferior to Ji Yuan’s… So at this moment, seeking Ji Yuan’s protection was the best choice for her.
Ji Yuan didn’t expect such a troublesome opponent to jump out halfway.
… From the strength he showed when he just killed Punishment Sword, he was likely a top-notch expert at the Peak of Core Formation.
But no matter how strong, he couldn’t surpass Xun Tianji, not even Xiao Xuan from the Black and White Divine Hall…
He couldn’t compare.
So for Ji Yuan, this Zhu Guang might be capable of exerting some pressure but definitely not much.
“You weren’t summoned by Punishment Sword, were you?”
Ji Yuan spoke, but his tone was calm as he asked.
“Oh?”
Zhu Guang didn’t expect that at this point, this person could still speak so calmly to him.
He subconsciously had a higher regard for Ji Yuan.
So after a brief consideration, he nodded and said, “Indeed I wasn’t; I came here myself. As for Punishment Sword’s Jade Sword Talisman… another junior brother was summoned, but he was also killed by me halfway.”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiu was immediately shocked and exclaimed, “Zhu… Daoist Zhu, have you gone mad? These were all your fellow sect members!”
“Ha!”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Guang sneered, “Fellow sect members? The ones who suppressed me under Sword Cliff for hundreds of years? Has anyone looked at me even once in all these years?”
“Who mentions me, Zhu Guang, without a hundred different ridicules? Talking about fellow sect members with me is simply a joke!”
Zhu Guang spoke as he cast a deep gaze at Huang Xiu, finally saying:
“On account of Daoist Zhou, here’s a final word for you… Daoist Huang, if you haven’t endured others’ suffering, don’t advise them to do good.”
“Is this your reason for joining the Demon Sect?”
Ji Yuan said the second sentence.
And this sentence shocked even Zhu Guang, who turned his head, staring at Ji Yuan intently and said in a deep voice:
“You are clever, but being clever just before your death… will only make you die faster!”
With these words, before his voice had fallen, he appeared in front of Ji Yuan.
Just like the move he used to kill Punishment Sword earlier, he extended his hand to press toward the top of Ji Yuan’s head.
But just as he thought he could succeed, the figure before him suddenly vanished.
In his heart, he thought, “Not good!”
Zhu Guang immediately transformed into sword light and escaped. After a flash in mid-air and he turned to look back, he found Ji Yuan standing where he had just been.
… If my reaction were a fraction slower, it might have been me left there!
Zhu Guang, who had long wandered the edges of life and death, took one look and immediately understood everything.
“You are also at the Peak of Core Formation!”
He asserted.
If it weren’t the Peak Core Formation, it wouldn’t be possible to force him away in just one encounter.
Moreover, those who disguise their cultivation as late-stage Core Formation Peak cultivators usually possess numerous methods and are deeply skilled and ruthless!
“Unexpectedly, the Cloud Rain Sect has you, such a person hidden away; I thought the Peak Core Formation cultivators of Cloud Rain Sect were only the worthless Qinglu.”
Ji Yuan looked up at Zhu Guang standing in mid-air, without wasting a single word, directly stretching his hand toward him.
In an instant, the sky above Sword Gate Island was filled with six gigantic, water-blue Flying Swords.
Surrounding each sword light was flashes of Purple Sky Divine Thunder.
“Hmm?”
Zhu Guang looked up at the Flying Swords around him, his eyes growing ever more interested.
“Also a Sword Cultivator? Interesting!”
With that, he pinched a technique with his right hand, causing numerous blood-colored Flying Swords to swarm out from behind him, like fish or dragons. Hundreds appeared in a flash, immediately aiming toward the hovering Canglan Swords without the slightest pause.
… Bold!
Ji Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, the water-blue light glowing in his eyes.
Under his Divine Sense, he judged instantly.
These Flying Swords of Zhu Guang were all refined using Demon Skills, so what did that imply?
It implied that the Purple Sky Divine Thunder on Canglan Sword inherently countered his Flying Swords!
So when these blood-colored Flying Swords swarmed as if moths toward the flames around Ji Yuan’s Flying Swords, he didn’t hesitate at all and immediately used his Heart Thought to trigger the Purple Sky Divine Thunder on Canglan Sword.
“Boom——”
The six Canglan Swords augmented by the “Giant Sword Technique,” each alone towering dozens of yards high, now unleashed the accumulated Purple Sky Divine Thunder, transforming the entire sky into a violet Thunder Prison.
“Booming” thunder echoed across the sky.
Under Ji Yuan’s Purple Sky Divine Thunder, all Zhu Guang’s blood-colored Flying Swords were thoroughly broken.
Without exception, they all ended up dissolving into mana in the end.
Yet despite this, his complexion remained somewhat pale.
Because these damaged Sword Qi, to some extent, represented a significant loss to his Lifebound Flying Sword.
“Withdraw!”
His hand technique shifted slightly, and the blood-colored Flying Swords still surrounding in mid-air, yet untouched by the Thunder Prison, were recalled one by one by him.
Under the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, his Flying Swords couldn’t gain the slightest benefit, so naturally, there was no reason to waste them pointlessly.
After Ji Yuan’s Purple Sky Divine Thunder shattered the Flying Swords, the six Canglan Swords immediately merged into one, the sword tip directing toward Zhu Guang in mid-air.
The Canglan Sword charged with unstoppable momentum, instantly locking onto Zhu Guang’s aura.
The latter knew he couldn’t escape, so pinched a technique with both hands, causing numerous blood-colored patterns to manifest beneath his feet.
