Chapter 27: One Sword Kills Two! Cloudmount’s Shock!
Gu Yang’s expression shifted slightly as he reacted instantly, activating Shadowstep without hesitation.
His entire figure blurred into a shadow, swiftly dodging to the side.
A massive black-armored limb, brimming with terrifying force, tore through the shrub where Gu Yang had just been, then slammed into a thick tree nearby!
The sheer power of it pierced straight through the trunk, which was at least ten meters wide.
The momentum didn’t stop, it shot off into the distance, still violent and deadly.
The terrifying force left everyone shaken.
“That Vajra Bear’s black armor isn’t just insanely defensive, its attack is just as terrifying!”
“Everyone stay sharp!”
In the clearing, a group of Baiyang Sect disciples looked stunned and wary.
That blow just now had been the Vajra Bear’s counterattack.
If they hadn’t dodged in time…
They would be dead by now.
Everyone instantly became more alert.
At the same moment, one Baiyang Sect disciple at the eighth level of the Qi-Gathering Realm spotted Gu Yang. His expression changed at once.
“Yun Shan, look over there!”
“Someone from the Flowing Cloud Sect!” Read full story at novel✶fire.net
“Huh? Seems like he’s only at the third level of the Qi-Gathering Realm.”
Hearing this, Yun Shan, who had been locked in combat with the Vajra Bear, glanced over at Gu Yang.
His brow furrowed slightly.
“Li Da, Li Er. You two take care of him. Make it quick, don’t let him distract us, and don’t let him escape to call reinforcements.”
As soon as Yun Shan finished speaking, the twin brothers behind him nodded in unison.
Were both ninth-level Qi-Gathering Realm experts!
Amused smirks flickered in their eyes as they moved swiftly, cutting off Gu Yang’s escape.
“Kid from the Flowing Cloud Sect, you shouldn’t have come this close.”
“Enough talk. Let’s finish him off. Just a third-level Qi-Gathering nobody.”
Li Da and Li Er spoke in near-perfect sync, their tone and movements so identical that it felt like they were carved from the same mold.
As soon as their voices fell,
They attacked together.
Their coordination was so flawless, it was as if only one person had moved.
Terrifying waves of true energy erupted.
One black, one red, each flared out on either side of Gu Yang.
They made no effort to hold back.
Even though Gu Yang was only at the third level of Qi-Gathering, they took him seriously in action, if not in attitude.
Even a lion used full strength to catch a rabbit.
Li Da raised his hand, black true energy coating his right arm.
His palm curled into a claw, swiping directly for Gu Yang’s neck.
On the other side, Li Er surged forward with blood-red energy, launching a vicious punch toward Gu Yang’s back.
Any ordinary third-level Qi-Gathering disciple would have gone weak in the knees at the mere pressure they exuded, probably dropping to beg for mercy.
Calm and composed, he activated Shadowstep and retreated.
Widening the gap between them.
Gu Yang’s speed… was faster than expected.
Not wanting to drag this out, they gave up on further taunts and exploded with full power, true energy roaring forth as they raced after him.
From their perspective, Gu Yang looked like he was trying to escape.
But Yun Shan had given them strict orders,
Thinking of this, both men unleashed their full might, closing in rapidly.
But just then, Gu Yang’s lips curled into a faint smile.
And in the next instant, he stopped moving.
“Huh? Why’d the brat stop running?”
“Who cares. Kill him!”
They didn’t know what Gu Yang was planning, but didn’t hesitate.
They instantly activated their signature techniques.
Black and red energy roared toward Gu Yang like an avalanche.
Faced with the overwhelming pressure, Gu Yang remained perfectly composed.
He slowly drew the low-grade spirit sword from his waist.
A cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
A surge of azure true energy burst forth.
A strange, mysterious power coiled around the sword.
True energy and that mysterious force fused into the weapon.
A deafening sword hum echoed across the sky.
A streak of azure sword energy, bright as a rainbow and packed with terrifying power, sliced through the air toward the twins!
The devastating sword energy shot at them with outrageous speed.
“Damn it, block it, now!”
Their expressions shifted instantly.
They abandoned their attacks, withdrawing their true energy to form a shield.
The sword energy slammed into their defenses.
Even with their combined barrier,
It couldn’t stop the blade’s ferocity.
Their true energy shield shattered in less than two seconds.
Horrified, they barely had time to scream,
Before the sword energy tore straight through them, slicing both of them in half!
Blood sprayed in all directions.
The pieces of their bodies hit the ground in gruesome succession.
Gu Yang’s terrifying sword energy had chopped them each into four pieces.
Their bodies fell with sickening wet splashes, dying the earth blood red.
Two ninth-level Qi-Gathering geniuses,
At that exact moment,
Yun Shan had just caught his breath in the distance.
“Li Da! Li Er! Still not done with that kid? Hurry up and help me!”
He shouted impatiently.
But after a few seconds, no reply.
He felt a strange ripple in the air.
His expression froze as he quickly turned to look behind him,
Just in time to see Gu Yang’s sword strike cutting down Li Da and Li Er.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Their mangled bodies lay scattered in pools of blood.
Gu Yang stood, sword in hand.
“That’s… Sword Intent! And it’s already at twenty percent?”
“That kid… actually killed Li Da and Li Er?!”
Yun Shan was utterly shaken.
He couldn’t believe it.
That Flowing Cloud Sect brat he hadn’t even taken seriously, only third-level Qi-Gathering,
Had killed two ninth-level cultivators.
And they hadn’t just been high-level, they were genuinely powerful too!
Could just twenty percent Sword Intent really grant such terrifying power?
Then he noticed the sword in Gu Yang’s hand and narrowed his eyes.
“A low-grade spirit sword!”
“This kid’s cultivation might be low, but he has such a treasure?!”
Greed flashed in his gaze.
If he could get that spirit sword,
He could trade it for resources and take his strength to the next level.
