Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 254: Chapter 253: One Sword, Flying Immortal

Wherever the blue Sword Aura passed, the mechanical Beast Guilt was sliced into scrap metal. The power of Lian Shuang’s strike was enough to make any observer’s heart pound with fear.

This was the same strike that had just torn apart the Hurricane Dragon. Now, only its aftershock remained, yet it was still enough to slice through the mechanical Beast Guilt.

It was a testament to the power of her sword.

’My mechanical Beast Guilt is a Top-Level Spiritual Treasure, yet it was shattered so easily?’ Mo Ziyou’s eyelids twitched as the Sword Aura continued on its path toward him.

”Senior Brother Mo!” The disciples of Wind Watching Cliff wore worried expressions.

The Sword Aura was now only twenty meters from Mo Ziyou.

At its terrifying speed, it could cut him down in an instant.

”Gale Boots!” A glint flashed in Mo Ziyou’s eyes. The Light Patterns on his boots flickered, transforming into a gust of wind that carried him rapidly backward.

As his body shot back, the Sword Aura slashed down, piercing through the afterimage he left behind.

It was easy to imagine that if he’d been an instant slower, the Sword Aura would have sliced him in half.

Only then did the wreckage of the mechanical Beast Guilt finally plummet into the valley.

WHOOSH!

Mo Ziyou reappeared in the distance, his eyes wide with terror.

The memory of that last attack still sent a chill down his spine.

If he hadn’t sent out the Beast Guilt to block Lian Shuang’s attack first, he wouldn’t have had time to escape, even with his Gale Boots.

”Lian Shuang is terrifyingly strong. In a fight between equals, I wouldn’t stand a chance,” Mo Ziyou muttered.

”This woman is no ordinary genius,” Zheng Yang said grimly.

”With such talent, I’m afraid she’s on par with even the top geniuses of the Beiming Sword Sect,” Wen Qianshan murmured.

”Kill!” A murderous glint flashed in Zheng Yang’s eyes as he turned to Wen Qianshan. ”Let’s attack together and finish her.”

His eyes were now filled with boundless killing intent.

”We have to kill her,” Wen Qianshan nodded.

Lian Shuang’s talent struck a chilling fear into their hearts.

If a person like her were allowed to live, she would become their nightmare.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two men summoned their respective Profound Spirit Treasures.

Zheng Yang brandished the Red Scale Spear as the Blood Qi in his body surged into it.

Instantly, his aura skyrocketed. His long hair billowed as the Red Scale Spear erupted with a dazzling crimson light that stained the surrounding Void.

A scorching aura began to radiate outwards.

At the same time, Essence Qi swirled around Wen Qianshan like a great river as the Mountain and River Seal manifested, hovering above his head.

Light Patterns flowed across the Mountain and River Seal, and the sheer force of the mountains and rivers it contained made the Void before it tremble under the pressure.

”Two Profound Spirit Treasures!” Opposite them, Lian Shuang’s brow furrowed slightly.

That last strike had consumed a great deal of her Essence Qi and Heart Power.

The appearance of two more Profound Spirit Treasures put some pressure on her.

’But their auras seem unstable, too.’ After sensing them for a moment, Lian Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

These two were clearly spent.

If they were at their peak, dealing with them would have been extremely difficult.

But now...

”Fight!” A glint flashed in Lian Shuang’s eyes. The Power of Pill Essence spread from her body as the five Sword Lotuses at her side began to circulate, their Sword Qi merging.

At the same time, a Supreme Sword Intent began to emanate from her.

The Void around her transformed, as if evolving into an ethereal and mystical world of the Sword Dao.

KILL!

A low shout rang out. With a hand seal, Wen Qianshan directed the Mountain and River Seal to fly howling towards Lian Shuang, intent on suppressing her.

The Giant Seal whistled through the air, expanding continuously. Light Patterns flickered across its surface as it transformed into a Qingtian Giant Seal that seemed to prop up the sky, its astonishing momentum blanketing the entire valley.

The terrifying pressure bore down, making the Void tremble and putting even the Sword Qi around Lian Shuang under immense strain.

This Mountain and River Seal was even more domineering than the Wind and Cloud Banner.

As the Giant Seal pressed down, Lian Shuang raised an eyebrow, her gaze lifting to meet it.

Celestial Flying Immortal!

With a soft call, Lian Shuang leaped into the air, flying forward to meet the incoming Giant Seal head-on.

At the same time, she moved her Long Sword, thrusting it directly at the Mountain and River Seal.

From afar, she looked like a celestial maiden in flight, sword in hand, charging forward to slay her enemy. The five Sword Lotuses circled her like personal protective treasures.

Her robes and blue hair fluttered in the wind. As she attacked, she looked ethereal and otherworldly, as if she didn’t belong to the mortal realm—truly befitting the name Celestial Flying Immortal.

However, as she flew, all her Sword Intent condensed. She became the sword, and the sword became her. An infinite amount of Sword Intent focused into a single point, stabbing straight ahead.

Wherever Lian Shuang passed, the air itself disintegrated and the Void seemed to be pierced through. Despite the power of the Mountain and River Seal, its oppressive momentum failed to affect her in the slightest.

”How beautiful!” In that moment, Lian Shuang was breathtakingly beautiful. Her peerless grace was enough to mesmerize one’s very Heart Spirit.

”What kind of Swordsmanship is this!?” The members of the Three Great Sects were all stunned. They could never have imagined that a sword technique could be so graceful and otherworldly.

This strike seemed to transcend the mortal world.

And yet, the Sword Momentum it contained was utterly terrifying.

”This level of Swordsmanship... I doubt even the Beiming Sword Sect has it, right?” In the distance, Mo Ziyou’s brow was furrowed as he muttered, ”How could the Lingyun Sect have such a technique?”

His heart was filled with doubt.

’Such Swordsmanship has already surpassed the Unity of Man and Sword. The key is the intent! The Sword Intent!’ Inside the cave, Ling Fei sensed the attack even as he merged with the Celestial Fire. A strike like this was enough to stun even him. ’It’s hard to imagine what state of mind one must achieve to comprehend such a sword.’

BANG!

The rainbow-like Sword Aura struck the Mountain and River Seal.

The Void shuddered. The illusory river coiling around the Mountain and River Seal was blasted away in all directions, as if struck and scattered by an immense force.

The next moment, the Giant Seal trembled and was sent flying backward. A fierce Sword Qi ravaged the area, causing Wen Qianshan’s eyelids to twitch violently.

”She sent my Mountain and River Seal flying back with a single strike!” Wen Qianshan’s face fell.

But then the Sword Aura stabbed toward him, so fast that his pupils contracted in shock.

The aura of death washed over him.

”Red Python Transformation!” At that exact moment, Zheng Yang struck.

Blood Qi erupted from his body as scales materialized on his skin. Wielding his spear, he lunged toward Lian Shuang like a great Red Python.

In that instant, he seemed to merge with the Red Scale Spear. With a single thrust, Blood Qi shot to the sky and a searing gale swept forth. He was like a giant python of fire, and the Void itself seemed to burn and warp wherever he passed. The sheer momentum of his attack was not one bit inferior to Lian Shuang’s previous strike.

But Lian Shuang had just defeated the Mountain and River Seal. Her strike had spent most of its power, and she was in the middle of her move, unable to gather her momentum for a new attack.

Zheng Yang chose this precise moment to attack, clearly banking on the fact that Lian Shuang’s momentum had waned, and intending to kill her in a single blow.

Originally, he had expected Wen Qianshan’s Mountain and River Seal to defeat Lian Shuang, which would have made his own follow-up attack a surefire kill.

The current situation had already exceeded his expectations.

’No matter how strong you are, this is my full-power attack. It won’t be difficult to seriously injure you while you’re exhausted.’ As Zheng Yang flew forward like a Red Python, his crimson eyes were fixed on the fairy-like woman ahead, his killing intent chilling to the bone.

’As long as this attack can seriously injure her, killing her will be easy.’

’I have to injure her! I have to injure her!’ Zheng Yang’s eyes were blood-red as he continuously poured his body’s Blood Qi into the Red Scale Spear.

It wasn’t just Zheng Yang; the disciples of the Three Great Sects all held their breath.

Mo Ziyou and Wen Qianshan were also fraught with tension.

In their previous two encounters, both men had nearly died at Lian Shuang’s hands. They were keenly aware of just how formidable she was.

This was especially true for Wen Qianshan. Without Gale Boots like Mo Ziyou’s, he would have been utterly unable to dodge Lian Shuang’s last attack if Zheng Yang hadn’t intervened.

If Zheng Yang failed to heavily wound her this time, then no one here would be able to subdue the Little Sword God, Lian Shuang.

’This is bad!’ Inside the cave, Ling Fei’s brow was tightly furrowed. ’I have to finish merging with this Celestial Fire!’

He, too, was worried for Lian Shuang.

Zheng Yang’s attack was simply too powerful. With her momentum depleted, it would be incredibly difficult for Lian Shuang to defend against it.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the Sword Qi and the aura of the Red Python clashed.

A violent collision shook the Void, sending ripples spreading out. Terrifying shockwaves rolled out like monstrous tidal waves.

The crimson aura of the spear and the blue Sword Aura painted the valley in a multitude of colors, creating a psychedelic effect.

DING!

At that exact moment, the spear struck the sword. Their clash was not merely a contest of Power, but a collision of two different Mystical arts.

Lian Shuang’s Sword Intent was incredibly fierce. Her Celestial Flying Immortal style, seemingly beyond the mortal world, felt as if it could cut through anything.

However, Zheng Yang was attacking with his full strength. His Bloodline Power surged forward, continuously neutralizing Lian Shuang’s Supreme Sword Intent. As her Sword Intent weakened...

...the pressure on Lian Shuang suddenly skyrocketed.

BUZZ!

A muffled sound rang out as the protective Sword Lotuses around Lian Shuang shattered. The terrifying torrents of energy rushed toward her like giant pythons.

Her body was sent flying backward.

Instantly, Lian Shuang was thrown back like a kite with a severed string. Her blue hair billowed in the wind, and a spurt of fresh blood flew from the corner of her mouth.

As she coughed up blood, a pallor spread across her breathtakingly beautiful face. Her brow furrowed slightly, creating a pitifully lovely sight.

In contrast, the crimson light on the other side was dissipating amid terrifying shockwaves. Zheng Yang’s body also trembled, and he looked as though he might collapse. That single strike had consumed a massive amount of his Blood Qi, but he had ultimately come out on top, relatively unscathed.

”She’s coughing up blood!” Zheng Yang stabilized himself, the scales on his skin receding. A look of delight appeared in his eyes when he saw Lian Shuang spitting blood.

’Now that she’s injured, her combat power must be greatly diminished. With the combined forces of our Three Great Sects, killing her won’t be difficult.’

”Lian Shuang!” Inside the cave, Ling Fei’s brow was tightly furrowed. The sight made his heart ache.

Just one woman, with only her Profound Pill Realm Cultivation and an ordinary Treasure Sword, single-handedly resisting three geniuses armed with Profound Spirit Treasures.

What kind of courage did that require?

Ling Fei was filled with immense admiration for Lian Shuang’s actions.

The behavior of Zheng Yang and the others, however, filled Ling Fei with fury.

It was one thing for three men to use powerful treasures to bully a single person, but for Zheng Yang to also take advantage of her vulnerability...

Otherwise, if Lian Shuang had been able to face him head-on, she wouldn’t have been defeated so easily.
