Chapter 1394: Blood Crystal Mahasword

Han Li stared unblinking at the sky, where the golden dragon and colorful phoenix were evenly matched, making it hard to tell who had the upper hand for a moment.

If that were the case, wouldn't it turn into a prolonged war of attrition lasting days and nights?

Han Li's thoughts raced like lightning; he withdrew his gaze, took a quick look at the white-robed girl and Ye Chu sitting cross-legged in the formation, and his expression froze.

The girl had her eyes tightly shut, her hands forming seals, and five-colored light rolled incessantly on her body, showing no sign of abnormality at all, while Ye Chu continued to spew green light, continuously pouring it wildly into the girl's body, but the color of his skin had already changed dramatically.

The original jade-green, wood-spirit-like skin had now become crystal-clear and white as fat, like flawless beautiful jade.

This girl had completely transformed into a stunning beauty with a melon-seed face, phoenix eyes, and starry pupils, appearing to be only about ten years old.

Sensing Han Li's gaze, the girl glanced at him, coldly sweeping her eyes over him once, her gaze devoid of any emotion, icy and abnormal.

Noticing a hint of resentment from the girl, Han Li responded with a smile and immediately turned his head away.

At that moment, a strange "zila zila" crisp sound came from the sky.

Han Li's heart jolted, and he looked up again.

He saw the situation in the sky drastically change: the power of the hurricane was transforming into blue spiritual light, and countless crystal-clear, giant ice lotuses bloomed in the air, and a force capable of piercing the heavens with extreme cold instantly joined the battle.

This extreme cold and the white fire coexisted peacefully, showing no repulsion at all; instead, these two opposing forces of heaven and earth subtly complemented each other, and their power suddenly increased dramatically.

Instantly, white sparks and blue ice lotuses intertwined and swirled, spreading across half the sky, forcing the lightning power to retreat step by step.

The colorful phoenix, having displayed some miraculous technique, instantly transformed wind power into icy cold power after that, and immediately gained the upper hand in the battle.

"Hehe, the five elements transform, all things return to one! You finally managed to unleash the Yin-Yang Yang Extreme Decision? Good, very good—I've finally waited for this day," the golden-colored giant dragon in the sky, though seemingly unable to hold on, did not panic but instead emitted a buzzing human voice from its mouth, bursting into loud laughter, seeming extremely delighted.

"You know this technique?" The colorful phoenix's form stiffened, and it likewise emitted a sound of surprise from its mouth.

It was indeed the voice of the white-robed girl.

But the giant dragon in the sky did not respond to the phoenix's words; instead, it emitted a deafening chant from its mouth, and immediately a shocking scene appeared.

The dragon's massive body suddenly shed its golden light, turning instead into a vivid, dripping blood-red color, and then the dragon's mouth opened wide, spewing out a thick blood pillar.

As soon as the blood pillar touched the air, it spun around and actually condensed into a gigantic sword over ten zhang long.

The sword was entirely crystalline and blood-red, with a dragon's head and phoenix's body, and a thick stench of blood surged from it, making one want to vomit upon smelling it.

"Blood Crystal Mahasword—this spiritual treasure has actually fallen into your hands! Do you intend to…?" Upon seeing the sword's true form, the colorful phoenix gasped and cried out its name, but then immediately recalled something and panicked, spreading its wings as if to fly away from the vicinity.

"Want to leave now? Too late!" A cold, alien voice came from the dragon's mouth, and immediately its form lunged forward, its body shrinking countless times in an instant, transforming into a blood-light about a zhang long, which then plunged into the blood sword.

Immediately, the sword trembled and slashed at the colorful phoenix in the distance.

A faint blood light flashed, and a blood shadow over a hundred zhang long slashed across the phoenix's body with incredible speed, leaving the phoenix no time to react.

After a startled and angry phoenix cry, the phoenix's massive body appeared unharmed, but a blood-phoenix apparition several feet in size was cut out from its body by the sword's shadow, and then the blood-colored sword shadow suddenly coiled backward, turning into blood-colored light that enveloped the blood-phoenix apparition and shot back like lightning, flashing a few times before returning into the blood sword.

The blood sword blazed with light, emitting a low, buzzing sound.

The phoenix's body let out a muffled "puchi" sound and instantly turned into specks of spiritual light that dissipated into the air, leaving only a small patch of blood light that fell straight down from the spiritual light and vanished into the girl's body below in the blink of an eye.

Ye Ying's body trembled, she opened her eyes, but her pupils were filled with shock, disbelief, and an abnormal expression.

"The blood of the Heavenly Phoenix—my true spirit's blood has been drained by this sword by more than half," the girl said, her voice somewhat hoarse, her face losing its usual composure.

"Young master need not panic. The blood of the Heavenly Phoenix is not so easily taken; for now, it is merely temporarily trapped by this sword. Even if the Long family person uses primordial spirit to drive true dragon blood into this sword, attempting to truly seize and melt the spirit blood, it cannot succeed immediately. As long as we seize this sword, we still have a chance to reclaim it, and perhaps even seize the opposing true dragon bloodline in return," Ye Chu said after stopping the emission of spiritual light, his gaze turning cold and stern.

"Not bad—I can still sense the existence of that portion of spirit blood. The other side has indeed not yet succeeded; we will go up and seize this sword. Han brother, I know you are not an ordinary Soul Transformation cultivator. This time, if you help me reclaim the spirit blood, I promise you that afterward, the Ye family will be willing to do something within your ability for you, as repayment," the white-robed girl said after hearing Ye Chu's words, finally regaining her composure, pondering slightly, then suddenly turning her head to promise Han Li.

Ye Chu heard this and froze, while Han Li frowned slightly, showing a hint of hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist, don't delude yourself into thinking the Long family will let you leave unharmed. If we are defeated and destroyed, you will have no way to escape their pursuit alone. Moreover, just now you and I clearly stood together; even if you managed to flee back to the human race by luck, the Long family will never let you go afterward. Only under the protection of our Ye family can you remain safe," Ye Chu said, his eyes flashing, his face expressionless.

"Do I have any other choice?" Han Li rubbed his chin, speaking somewhat helplessly.

"Han brother, why speak so reluctantly? Countless human cultivators wish to form ties with our Ye family," the white-robed girl said with a low laugh, then her form shifted, turning into a cluster of golden light that soared into the sky, while Ye Chu and this girl transformed into a green rainbow, closely following.

After a flow of spiritual light on this girl's body, her skin color turned green again, and from afar, she looked no different from a wood spirit.

Han Li, wrapped in a cluster of green light, also shot upward toward the blood sword in the sky.

With the disappearance of the golden dragon and blood phoenix, the thunderclouds, ice lotuses, and white flames in the sky all vanished completely, revealing an unusually blue sky once again.

Were it not for the gigantic blood sword floating high in the sky, so eye-catching, the previous great battle would seem as if it had never happened at all.

Han Li and the others naturally knew the other side would not let them take it so easily. Indeed, as soon as the three of them shot forward into the midway, spatial fluctuations occurred on both sides of the blood sword, and silver light burst forth, revealing two middle-aged cultivators with similar faces.

Both wore brocade robes, their heads bound with purple sashes, and they coldly regarded the three.

"Long Yu, Long Lin! It's you two!" Upon seeing these two strangely appear, Ye Chu's beautiful eyes shrank, and he shouted out their names.

The white-robed girl's heart stirred; her escape light stopped first at a distance over a hundred zhang from the blood sword, then she swept her spiritual sense over the two middle-aged cultivators, and her heart jolted.

"How? Elder Sister Chu knows these two?"

"Over a thousand years ago, I and these two were both at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, and I met them once at a gathering of true spirit noble families. These two specialize in ghost-raising and demon-driving techniques—they are not ordinary cultivators. The Long family has sent them out, and considering the young master's Heavenly Phoenix blood, they are truly determined to succeed," Ye Chu said, his expression darkening.

"Ghost-raising and demon-driving techniques are indeed very troublesome," the white-robed girl said, her heart also sinking heavily.

"My brothers originally wondered which high-ranking person the Ye family had sent as an undercover agent to the Wood Clan—turns out it's you, Fairy Chu. Back when your fame was at its peak, you suddenly vanished without a trace, and my brothers already felt something was strange. Now you have actually cultivated to the great completion of the Void Refinement realm—clearly, you must have encountered some extraordinary fate in the Wood Clan." After the two men swept their gazes over Ye Chu, one of them chuckled hehehe, said that, while the other remained silent but wore a full face of ill intent.

"You two fellow Daoists have reached the mid-stage of Void Refinement in just a thousand years—equally not slow. But this time, you've made a move against our young master—your courage is truly too great," Ye Chu said, raising his eyebrows, speaking bluntly.

"Haha, our young master is about to achieve great success, capable of possessing both true dragon and phoenix blood, and future union is to be expected. Saying these again—what use is there?" The speaking middle-aged man laughed triumphantly.

"Was this Yin-Yang Yang Extreme Decision deliberately sold to me by you? Otherwise, even with the Blood Crystal Mahasword, how could the Heavenly Phoenix blood be so easily separated?" The white-robed girl's eyes flashed with cold light as she suddenly lunged at the two and demanded sharply.

Upon hearing this, the two Long family cultivators glanced at each other, but then one of them laughed:

"Enough idle talk! With the two of us brothers here, you two dare not disturb me and the young master in the slightest."

These two clearly had no intention of answering this question.

"Young master, make your move. Talking more is useless," Ye Chu said with a cold snort, then a flash of green light appeared on his body, and rings of green light spread outward from him, within which tree shadows and flower thickets flickered indistinctly.

The girl made a seal with both hands, and the green light instantly shot straight up, directly enveloping the two opponents.

Seeing this, the two Long family cultivators almost simultaneously shook their sleeves, one producing a crimson-red ancient book, the other a black painting scroll.

One raised a single hand, pressing heavily on that blood-red book.

As the pages of the blood book turned over, countless blood-colored symbols surged forth, then transformed into several streaks of crimson demonic shadows that opened their mouths in midair, striking streaks of blood light at the green light enveloping them.

The other middle-aged cultivator, after mentally triggering his method, slowly unfurled the black painting scroll, above which mist rose and surged, a black wind howled forth, and similarly swept straight toward the green light to engulf it.

Under the intertwining of blood light and black wind, the surging green light descending from the sky was suddenly blocked, and the two forces exploded apart, with continuous booming sounds.

Seeing this, the white-robed girl's expression darkened, and with a flip of both hands, a golden knife appeared in one hand, shining with golden light, while the other hand held a round, dripping-green ring.

With a wave of both hands, the two objects flew simultaneously toward the opponent in midair.
