Chapter 189: Chapter 0186: The Battle of Teleportation Chapter 189 -0186: The Battle of Teleportation At the end of the mining cave.
In front of a stone platform formed from an entire wall of Moon Spirit Ore, engraved with an ancient array.
The man in the dark robe gasped for breath, his face lit with wild joy, unable to hide the greed in his eyes.
In Ye Luofeng’s cold, crystal-like eyes, a brilliant light flickered, containing a trace of reverence for the legends of the ancient past.
"Heavenly Que Sword?”
Chen Yu was startled, greatly surprised.
He had never imagined that this corpse, along with the broken half of the sword, would have such an incredible background.
From what Ye Luofeng implied,
Less than one-tenth of this sword, specifically the tip, served as the core and was smelted into the treasure of the Lingjian Sect, the “Heavenly Moon Sword.”
As demonstrated by the “Sky Moon Sword Formation” it governs, could repel even the nearly invincible first “Bone Demon King,” revealing its terrifying nature.
If we can reclaim this sword, our Lingjian Sect sweeping through Beiyuan is just a matter of time.”
The man in the dark robe, his face flushed with excitement, couldn’t help but let out a long laugh.
He held his breath and started to approach the skeletal remains and broken sword.
As he neared a certain boundary,
A sweeping Sword Intent, which seemed to split the heavens, erupted from the remains and the broken sword, instantly slashing across the man in the dark robe.
The surroundings seemed to distort.
Everything within sight, including the ore wall, the stone platform with the ancient array, and the vast mining area of the gloomy mountain, was torn to shreds by an enormous, towering blade of Sword Intent.
Chen Yu felt a stabbing pain in his mind, sweat beading on his forehead as he came to his senses from the aftermath of the vast Sword Intent.
He had only experienced the fringes of the Sword Intent’s aura.
The complexion of the man in the dark robe turned pale as he spat out blood, his body shaking violently, revealing a look of horror.
"Such powerful Sword Intent!
The Sword Intent that the broken sword released this time is completely different from the first time I encountered it!” Chen Yu was terrified.
He had no idea that this Heavenly Que Broken Sword was almost sentient, carrying upon it a relentless sword will.
Depending on the threat level of the enemy, the sword’s ability to “repel” varied accordingly.
Chen Yu was just a junior disciple at the Meridian Passage Stage, and the broken sword had only emitted a faint Sword Intent.
Someone in the Guiyuan Realm and also a sword cultivator was approaching, significantly increasing the level of threat and sensitivity, almost triggering the sword’s full defensive capability.
The man in the dark robe vomited another mouthful of blood and was flung backward in disarray.
"Uncle Chai, are you alright?”
Ye Luofeng’s cold beauty showed a look of bewilderment.
She was well aware of the strength of the Chai surnamed Supreme Elder, on par with Lv Tiezu, yet he couldn’t withstand one or two strikes from the broken sword.
Chen Yu, standing nearby, revealed a look of relief.
Thankfully, he had not been greedy and curious to forcibly obtain the sword.
"Nephew Ye, this sword has considerable hostility towards living beings.
However, your ‘Spirit Heart Sky Sword Technique’ may be worth a try.”
The man in the dark robe sat cross-legged, looking expectantly at Ye Luofeng again.
Ye Luofeng blinked, gazing at the broken sword with a mix of dread and respect.
"The ‘Spirit Heart Sky Sword Technique’ you practice has some connection to this sword, and there should be a sixty to seventy percent chance of success.
It’s possible that the remaining half of the ancient Sword Technique lies within it,” said the man in the dark robe.
Upon hearing this, Ye Luofeng finally showed a hint of longing.
Still, the formidable Sword Intent that the broken sword had released moments ago left her feeling apprehensive.
"Miss Ye, the Sword Intent of this broken sword will produce different levels of attacks based on the strength of any living being approaching it Chen Yu offered in encouragement.
He was even more eager than the man in the dark robe.
With the broken sword here, how could he use the Transmission Array?
Should he wait until the next full moon night?
But the problem was, Lv Tiezu was outside waiting.
Once he went out, the chances of survival were slim.
Ye Luofeng gave Chen Yu a meaningful glance.
Chen Yu watched as the slender figure in a snow-white dress slowly approached the broken sword.
At this moment, he prayed in his heart that the woman would succeed.
If the broken sword released the terrifying level of Sword Intent it had shown before and killed the young woman’s soul, he couldn’t be blamed.
As Ye Luofeng approached the broken sword, her clear, pond-like beautiful eyes suddenly shone with a deep, quiet Sword Intent.
She formed a hand seal, and a layer of dark, serene sword light condensed on her body, exuding a mysterious, ancient, and profound aura.
"This woman has actually cultivated her ‘Spirit Heart Sky Sword Technique’ to the second layer,” said the man in the dark robe seated not far away, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, mixed with a bit of envy.
The broken sword in front of the ancient stone platform suddenly trembled and let out a soft hum, then its surface blossomed with ancient sword patterns of a clear, sullen depth, spreading like blooming flowers.
"Finally, a response!” The man in the dark robe exclaimed with glee, quickly followed by a solemn expression as his gaze flickered uncertainly.
The broken sword suddenly became a clear shadow, gently falling into Ye Luofeng’s hands.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
At last, the formidable obstacle was taken in by the stunning beauty.
Ye Luofeng held the sword, her eyebrows raised in delight.
Clearly, there was a profound connection between this sword and the “Spirit Heart Sky Sword Technique” she practiced.
In fact, within the entire Lingjian Sect, only she, due to her unique physique and extraordinary comprehension, was the only one to fully master this ancient Sword Technique in hundreds of years.
The broken sword, held in her hands, trembled briefly.
The willful spirit within it, like a long sigh, gradually faded away.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
A blur rushed towards Ye Luofeng, accompanied by a golden sword glow,
Chen Yu exclaimed in alarm.
Ye Luofeng’s complexion drastically changed, and in her haste, she barely managed to position her broken sword in front of her.
A streak of golden sword shadow slashed across Ye Luofeng, causing her petite body to stagger back several yards.
Ye Luofeng spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes ice-cold as she stared at her assailant.
"Uncle Chai, why would you strike such a malicious blow?
Possessing this sword could lead to the rise of the Lingjian Sect, intimidating the entirety of Beiyuan and advancing to the ranks of the top sword sects on the continent,”
Ye Luofeng said, her voice tinged with disappointment.
You nave girl, did you really plan to submit this sword to our sect?”
The man in the black robe burst into loud laughter.
"So, you had planned to keep this sword for yourself all along?
Betraying the Lingjian Sect, you will never escape my Master’s pursuit!”
Ye Luofeng’s face was frosty.
"If I obtain this sword, I can discover the true essence of Sword Dao within it.
Then, seizing the high-quality Moon Spirit Ore in this place, and using the Transmission Array here, I could flee to the distant and gloriously splendid ancient kingdom spoken of in legends
Elder Chai laughed heartily, his expression brimming with excitement.
He seemed to envision a future of boundless horizons and soaring to the heavens.
After he finished speaking,
The man in the black robe turned into an afterimage as he lunged towards Ye Luofeng, summoning several golden sword shadows in his hand.
Ye Luofeng channeled the ancient Sword technique, her Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword stirring up faint cyan shadows, barely fending off the black-robed man’s offensive.
The disparity between her and the black-robed man was simply too great.
Merely after a couple of encounters, Ye Luofeng’s figure was forced to retreat again, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Chen Yu arrived at the ancient Transmission Array, took out a jar, and filled in several cracks in the Array with a sticky black substance.
According to Elder Mao, the ancient Transmission Array was fundamentally complete.
Mending these superficial cracks was primarily to maintain the stability of the teleportation.
"You need to make a move now.”
While resisting Elder Chai, Ye Luofeng couldn’t help but call out sharply.
"If I die, you will hardly be spared.
Elder Chai and Lv Tiezu have struck a deal; once he’s done using you, he’ll hand you over to Lv Tiezu,”
Ye Luofeng conveyed through a mental message.
Chen Yu’s heart turned cold; somehow, he had thought that Lv Tiezu would ultimately choose to compromise.
It seemed he had still underestimated the malevolence of Elder Chai.
Ye Luofeng’s figure was forced back another several yards, her snow-white gauze dress tearing in several places and leaving some shocking bloodstains on her creamy skin.
You naive girl, with your enchanting looks and supreme talentif you just surrender this sword obediently and vow to serve me, Elder Chai, I might just spare your life,”
The man in the black robe, confident of his imminent victory, flashed a look of greedy lust.
"Ye Luofeng cannot hold on any longer.”
Chen Yu’s face changed.
His gaze then swept over to the grooves at the four corners of the Transmission Array.
To properly place the four Primordial Stones, it would take at least four breaths’ time, and that’s if there was no interference or damage from the opponent.
And Ye Luofeng, she likely wouldn’t last that long, in danger of being captured or killed at any moment.
Chen Yu hesitated no longer, and with a thought,
From the deep crevices of the stone walls around the mine, thousands upon thousands of grey mottled Iron Moon Corpse Worms suddenly burst forth.
The black-robed man shivered at the sight of the dense swarm of insects.
If he were at his peak, with his strength in the Guiyuan Realm, he could annihilate the swarm in an instant.
Deep within this mine, he could only exert a fraction of his power, about twenty percent.
Moreover, having been wounded by the immense Sword Intent of the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword earlier, he could now muster only just over ten percent of his strength.
Ye Luofeng was even more suppressed, unable to exert even ten percent of her True Qi; if not for the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword in her possession, she would have already been slain by Elder Chai.
Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh!
Thousands of Iron Moon Corpse Worms crazily assailed the black-robed man.
"You junior, it was you!”
The black-robed man found himself swarmed by insects, his body erupted a golden sword radiance, annihilating hundreds of worms at a time.
The worms did not attack Chen Yu, nor did they seek out Ye Luofeng but focused their assault solely upon him.
Even if he were stunned, he understood the reason.
Just hold on for a moment, I’m going to embed the Primordial Stones,”
After saying that, he hurriedly took out medium-grade Essence Stones and went to the corners of the stone platform to embed the stones into the open maws of the dragon heads.
Do you think these insignificant bugs can stop me, Elder Chai?”
A sneering laugh came from within the swarm of insects.
A downpour of golden sword glows surged out in all directions, grinding the nearby swarm of insects to dust.
Subsequently, the black-robed man’s expression darkened, and wielding a Golden Pattern Treasure Sword, he tore through the swarm, attacking Ye Luofeng once more.
Chen Yu had just finished embedding two Primordial Stones when he saw the black-robed man slash out a golden sword glow, repelling Ye Luofeng and causing her to spit blood once again.
The black-robed man sneered, readying to deal the final blow to Ye Luofeng.
Ye Luofeng’s pretty face pale and feeble, she managed a bitter smile and showed a look of despair.
Suddenly, the figure of a tall young man stepped in front of the girl, heaving a long sigh.
"You brat, trying to play the hero?”
The black-robed man sneered, his Golden Pattern Treasure Sword cutting towards both Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng together.
Chen Yu’s face remained expressionless as he activated the “Copper Statue Technique.”
A layer of coppery light glistened on the surface of his skin, an invisible “Copper Statue Force Field,” unaffected by the restrictions of this place, covering his body.
A ring of dark iron patterns appeared on Chen Yu’s body, unexpectedly unaffected by the limitations here, which took him by surprise.
