System's Super Sect Chapter 934 - 877: Can You Outrun Light?

When the formidable Holy Light Blade Qi barreled toward Ye Wuping, her first instinct was to flee right away, yet in that instant, a fierce urge to clash with the Sword Demon ignited in her heart. This persisted even with knowledge of the Upper Realm expert still present in the Immortal Sect, who could reappear at any second.

However, she wasn't like typical women dominated by emotions, but a creature of cold logic. Therefore, she instantly crushed that impulse.

What significance does vanquishing the Sword Demon hold?

Right now, she couldn't slay the Sword Demon.

Without the ability to kill him, any triumph proves pointless.

In contrast, escaping this spot would let her seamlessly consume the White Crystal to advance to Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, rendering the Sword Demon's death effortless.

"Absolute Dance!"

Thousand Leaves Chaotic Dance, the ultimate finale!

Ye Wuping whispered softly, making the Meridian Gate quake violently, as the boundless Red Leaf Sea morphed yet again; every red leaf ravenously absorbed the Vein Qi from heaven and earth, resembling desperate, starving youngsters.

They consumed without restraint, cramming more even when bloated, and in mere breaths, the red leaves ballooned up, mimicking the plumpness after winter's ice encasement. The instant after, the relentless Holy Light Blade Qi crashed down upon them.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions boomed ceaselessly across the heavens as the massive Holy Light Blade Qi cleaved into the Red Leaf Sea, akin to embers dropped into fireworks stacks. Instantly, every red leaf 'burst into flames,' detonating in sequence.

These blasts endured over ten breaths, painting the sky in a dazzling crimson blaze.

Blast shockwaves raged like tempests through the firmament, battering Jianshui City and forcing residents to hunker down.

Even Mountain Suppression Realm powerhouses struggled to stay upright against the Vein Qi onslaught!

Yet within this all-devouring crimson glow, the pale Holy Light Blade Qi advanced unbroken through the red leaves' detonations. This sight stunned Ye Wuping, since Chaotic Dance's might could obliterate standard Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm foes!

Such a Vein Technique, even at peak capacity, allows only two casts at most; beyond that, the Spirit Body collapses.

But this horrifying Chaotic Dance failed to eradicate the white Blade Qi!

What in the world is this white Blade Qi?

Still, Ye Wuping had no time for deeper reflection; she prepared to bolt, only to find the unseen cage ensnaring her. Luckily, a brief moment would suffice to unleash a Vein Technique and smash the Space Barrier in her way.

Tier Three Spatial Magic cannot confine an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm!

But would the Sword Demon grant Ye Wuping that chance?

The ceaseless white Blade Qi ravaged the exploded Red Leaf Sea, descending like a downpour onto Ye Wuping's hurriedly formed Vein Qi Shield.

Boom!

Boom!

Thunderous roars reverberated anew through the skies, quaking the earth below.

In just a few breaths, the Holy Light Blade Qi shattered the Vein Qi Shield and sliced toward Ye Wuping. She swiftly withdrew her sword into the umbrella handle, then deployed the umbrella face as a barrier before her, blocking the unending Holy Light Blade Qi.

Moments later, Ye Wuping hurriedly folded the umbrella and chose to draw her sword again for a Vein Technique counterstrike. Naturally, this stemmed not from reluctance to defend, but because the persistent Holy Light Blade Qi was fracturing the umbrella surface.

Forged by a Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan, Ye Wuping refused to see this treasure ruined in battle, forcing her to switch to offensive Vein Techniques!

This approach drained her Spiritual Power wildly, leaving none for a second Thousand Leaves Chaotic Dance move, much less Thousand Leaves Chaotic Dance·Absolute Dance.

"How could it be like this?"

Ye Wuping couldn't fathom it; she had clearly seized the advantage and neared victory.

Why then did the tide turn abruptly, leaving her overwhelmed by the Sword Demon?

As she parried the assaults, Ye Wuping mulled this over, reaching a stark realization.

The issue resided in this Holy Light!

Upon sensing its clashes closely, Ye Wuping recoiled in shock. She detected an otherworldly aura: the Holy Light dissolved Vein Qi and all else it touched; beneath its radiance, they eroded progressively, like frost under blazing sunlight.

That umbrella behaves exactly like that.

Vein Qi operates in the same manner.

This white light indeed mirrors the essence condensed from the sun's power.

Right then, the Sword Demon swung his Magic Wand again; once the chant ended, Holy Light bathed his form once more!

Thanks to the nonstop unleashing of Holy Light Blade Qi, his depleted Spiritual Power surged back by twenty percent right away.

Following five straight uses, the Holy Light fully replenished his Spiritual Power to peak condition, prompting the Sword Demon to finally halt Holy Light Shining.

Yet after those five times, he was unable to keep employing Holy Light Shining to mend his injuries, since his Spiritual Power could no longer support it.

Ye Wuping remained oblivious!

With eyes one black and one white, the Sword Demon gazed steadily at Ye Wuping before declaring, "The power of Light stems from the sun; it stands as the most sacred and pure force beneath the heavens. It welcomed me, enveloped me; thus, I wield it, reshape it into my strength, and devised the Holy Light Descent Vein Technique. Though it falls short of genuine Holy Light Magic, it proves enough to overwhelm you at present."

Hearing the Sword Demon's declaration, Ye Wuping shot back in fury, "So what? You still can't kill me—I can escape whenever I please!"

The umbrella unfurled anew!

As it spread open, it abruptly expanded, rising like a miniature mountain to block the path between Sword Demon and Ye Wuping.

In the instant that followed, Ye Wuping dissolved into a swift shadow, vanishing across Jianshui City's skies.

No other option existed; Ye Wuping had to retreat. Despite endless boasts, she lingered at Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, far from genuine Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted.

Beneath the Sword Demon's relentless barrage of Holy Light Blade Qi, her Spiritual Power drained ever faster—defeat loomed unavoidable, forcing Ye Wuping to abandon certain gains.

Watching Ye Wuping flee, the Sword Demon felt no haste; a soft smile curved his lips as he remarked, "How could you possibly flee from the Light?"

At those words, the Sword Demon ceased firing Holy Light Blade Qi, morphing into a streak of swirling black-and-white radiance to chase after Ye Wuping.

The umbrella forged by the Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan was, of course, promptly stored away by Wen Ping.

Once the clamor of combat faded, Jianshui City's residents, who had huddled indoors, ventured out at last. They surveyed the ruined homes nearby, then lifted gazes skyward to the Flying Ship—each face now etched with profound awe and dread.

Immortal Sect emerged victorious.

Despite Ye Wuping's mid-battle breakthrough, defeat claimed her still.

In that instant, Immortal Sect ascended to legendary status among Jianshui City's folk, its Sect Leader revered as a godlike figure.

Yet Red Leaf Sect's vassals, eyes fixed on Ye Wuping's flight path, whispered fervent prayers, nursing faint hopes for her successful getaway.

After all, time alone would elevate Ye Wuping to true Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, granting her supreme might across the Red Domain.

Such Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm cultivators—even if Immortal Sect spawned a dozen more—would fall effortlessly to Ye Wuping!

Red Leaf Sect's clash with Immortal Sect retained a chance for reversal!

Meanwhile, Wen Ping secured the umbrella, gave it a quick look, then pivoted to Chen Xie with instructions: "Elder Chen, resume the auction."

Chen Xie nodded at once; as the Flying Ship descended, he ushered Shui Yue and the rest to trail Wen Ping back into the auction hall.

With Wen Ping and company inside the auction hall, Ye Wuhuan hovered gleefully in midair, proclaiming to the crowd, "The auction disruptors have been dealt with—esteemed seniors, sect leaders, and clan heads, please proceed with bidding on the Vortex Map! Dare another disturbance, and meet Qian Jun's grim fate!"

Those words rang out.

The auction pressed on!
