Chapter 632: Blade

On a mountain peak a few kilometers south of the hideout.

He Jing stared blankly at the scene happening in the sky.

With a "thump," the woman's legs went weak, and she fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Such a feast of revenge, for the naturally cold and stern Lord Bei Feng faction, should have been a kind of enjoyment.

Yet, she herself was also on Yan Shuangzi's revenge list.

Or rather, she should have been on the list.

It was only because she had once expressed a hint of kindness to Yan Shuangzi and offered a few words of meddlesome advice that she had been fortunate enough to survive.

Her life had indeed been spared.

But what about the future?

Would she have it easy?

He Jing became increasingly panicked and uneasy; should she take this opportunity to run away?

But she had already severed her contract with the Lord Bei Feng Master, and now, she was not even as good as the weakest disciple of the weak gods in the mountains.

If caught by anyone, the outcome would be self-evident.

Moreover, could she even run?

After her junior sister was saved by a mysterious person, she didn't know what she had experienced; perhaps she had worshipped the Gun Decay Master, or perhaps she had fallen into the demonic path and followed the Evil God, the Vicious Dog.

No matter who it was, if she dared to make the slightest rash move, her junior sister would be able to appear before her with a single teleportation.

And the blade would also come down.

He Jing watched Yan Shuangzi's cruel actions and felt a chill run down her spine.

Even from several kilometers away, she could feel her junior sister's anger and hatred.

The wide bamboo hat Yan Shuangzi was wearing had fallen off at some point.

Her long hair, which had been tucked into the hat, was now disheveled, fluttering wildly with her sharp movements, looking exactly like a female lunatic.

Looking exactly like... a mad dog.

But who could she blame?

Yan Shuangzi had once been a proud martial artist, dazzling and brilliant.

They had forced her.

Sword Ridge Peak had forced her.

Elder Xing's voice grew smaller and smaller, while the vibration of the Xiao Ling Blade grew larger and larger.

"Hum~"

In fact, the Xiao Ling Blade was also shocked at this moment.

Its old master, Lady Wolf Flower, had been a Greedy Wolf disciple!

A human believer known for greed and cruelty!

The Xiao Ling Blade had never expected that with such a "pearl and jade" before it, it would be able to encounter an even more terrifying creature in its lifetime.

When Yan Shuangzi struck with blade after blade, and the hatred in her heart did not decrease but increased, the Xiao Ling Blade was led by its master to kick open the door to a new world.

Until this moment, the Xiao Ling Blade, which had been a divine weapon for a long time, realized that it had previously fallen into a misunderstanding:

Cruelty at the level of means was too shallow; how could it qualify as the key to opening the divine weapon domain?

The ruthlessness and hatred at the level of the heart were the correct answer!

The Xiao Ling Blade understood.

The extreme hatred of the divine weapon's master gave the divine weapon even more extreme expectations, and a truly suitable divine weapon domain was born as a result.

"Hum!!"

High above the sky, thick fog gathered.

Wisps of mist fell, turning into mist tornadoes on the way, surging toward the Xiao Ling Blade.

Everyone looked stunned, watching the celestial phenomenon.

Because Yan Shuangzi was at the peak of the River Realm, when she advanced, she would also attract a mist tornado of astonishing scale, so many people had a misunderstanding.

They thought it was the Shadow Protector whose great revenge had been avenged, whose thoughts were clear, and who had finally taken a step forward.

Lu Ran, however, saw it clearly!

That pair of sharp dog eyes clearly witnessed the abnormal condition of the Xiao Ling Blade.

Originally, he had only thought that this short blade was made of black ice material and was very suitable for Yan Shuangzi.

A curved blade, a short blade—what a perfect match!

Never had he expected that it would be a lucky strike?

Was this blade about to open its divine weapon domain and advance to a second-class divine weapon?

"Sss!"

A flash of blade light, and a head fell to the ground.

Yan Shuangzi's chest heaved violently as she looked at the headless corpse covered in wounds before her.

【Da Da Mengyan, is there still room in the Rebirth Money?】 Lu Ran transmitted his voice into his mind.

【There are 2 Sea Realm souls stored in the copper coins, and one empty spot left.】

【Collect Elder Xing's soul as well.】

【Yes.】 Deng Yu Xiang rushed into the fog alone, and under the reminder of the magical artifact, immediately found the soul.

"Heh..."

Yan Shuangzi panted heavily, the corpse before her eyes already covered by thick fog, and her whole person suddenly relaxed.

Falling from high altitude toward the ground.

"Hum~" The Xiao Ling Blade was startled!

Yan Shuangzi did not possess the ability to fly; all along, she had relied on gripping the Xiao Ling Blade to stay in the air.

Now that she had let go of the blade, she naturally fell.

The problem was, the Xiao Ling Blade was still advancing!

It needed the guidance of the divine weapon's master.

Although Yan Shuangzi had never thought about guiding the divine weapon, the Xiao Ling Blade actively obtained the necessary nourishment from her emotional fluctuations.

The Xiao Ling Blade needed to continue like this!

It immediately flew downward, but someone was one step ahead.

The youth in imperial robes flashed beneath Yan Shuangzi, supporting her back with one hand and catching the bend of her legs with the other, steadily catching her.

Lu Ran looked down at the "blood person" in his arms, only to see a pair of vacant eyes.

He had thought about what state Yan Shuangzi would be in after her great revenge was avenged.

Weeping with joy.

Or shouting as if venting, finally having let out a bad breath.

The result was neither.

The nerve she had been holding tight relaxed, and after fulfilling her long-cherished wish, deep exhaustion and sleepiness surged into her heart.

"Sect Master." The Xiao Ling Blade landed on Yan Shuangzi's lower abdomen, quickly supporting a phantom image.

It was exactly Yan Shuangzi's image.

Lu Ran looked at the blade spirit while descending.

Interestingly, the mist tornado was still chasing the two people and one blade, exploring downward together.

The Xiao Ling Blade spirit overlapped with Lu Ran, communicating urgently: "I need her, I want to advance!"

"Hmm." Lu Ran held Yan Shuangzi and landed steadily, laying her flat on the ground.

He picked up the short blade on her lower abdomen, stuffed it into her palm, and called out: "Shadow?"

Yan Shuangzi's gaze was somewhat unfocused.

He didn't know if it was exhaustion or if she was immersed in some kind of thought.

【Shadow?】 Lu Ran switched to voice transmission.

She finally reacted, her eyes gradually regaining focus.

Through the fog, she saw the youth close at hand, and Yan Shuangzi hurriedly struggled to sit up.

"Your divine weapon is advancing; help it. You hold on for a bit, sleep in a while."

"Yes." Yan Shuangzi said softly, gripping the Xiao Ling Blade tightly again.

Lu Ran felt certain in his heart, suddenly remembering something, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

Last time, when the Evil Moon Curved Blade realized the divine weapon domain, it seemed that it also manifested a blade spirit and ran over to beg him?

Worthy of being my big Shadow!

It belongs to the fine tradition...

"Da Da Mengyan." In the fog, another cold voice came.

"Lady?"

"Open a cave underground, take the Shadow Protector down, and guard her well." Jiang Ru Yi ordered, "The rest of you disperse and find places to stand guard."

"Yes!"

"Yes." A group of people responded one after another.

Now, the mist vortex in the sky had taken shape; if they took Yan Shuangzi back to Cloud Sea Cliff, it would be equivalent to cutting off the advancement path of the divine weapon, the Xiao Ling Blade.

Therefore, everyone could only guard on the spot.

Lu Ran heard the woman's voice and only then reacted to one thing.

Oh no!

Just now, did I hold the Shadow Protector in my arms right in front of Fairy Jiang?

Good, good, good!

Another day of courting death, huh~

Hmm... this matter cannot be blamed on this seat.

Yan Shuangzi fainted so suddenly, and was covered in blood, her state so terrifying, who wouldn't be nervous...

Lu Ran thought secretly, flashing to a thousand meters away, and opened the Eye of the Death Realm.

The fog attracted by the divine weapon realizing the domain was quite thick!

It wouldn't take long before, with the Xiao Ling Blade as the center point, within a radius of three hundred meters, it would be shrouded in fog.

Beyond three hundred meters, the thick fog would only gradually thin, not disappear.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the fog had not yet completely shrouded this world, Lu Ran quickly detained the souls.

Fortunately, the location where everyone killed Elder Xing, which was also the direction of the Xiao Ling Blade's advancement, was far from the Lord Bei Feng faction's hideout.

After all, Elder Xing had fled for quite a distance before.

Thanks to this, Lu Ran flashed repeatedly, taking the souls that had already floated into mid-air into his eyes one by one.

After carefully counting and confirming, Lu Ran nodded with great satisfaction, highly approving of the strength of the Ran Sect's generals.

Afterward, he only then found the time to teleport to the location of the Eight Desolations Blade.

He stood on a giant rock; in front of him were two divine weapons entangled together.

To say entangled, it was actually the Eight Desolations Blade's one-sided escort; as a second-class divine weapon, it crushed the first-class divine weapon in every aspect.

"Slap!"

Lu Ran grabbed the hilt of the blood-colored curved blade with one hand and examined it carefully.

The blade was quite thin and light, appearing translucent, as if crafted from blood-colored crystal.

Within the blade, wisps of blood lines could be vaguely seen, slowly swimming, sometimes gathering into streams, sometimes scattering into thin mist.

Mysterious and eerie.

This is blood crystal material!

In the Great Xia of the human world, just from the perspective of price, there are two types of mineral materials that can stand shoulder to shoulder with black ice.

One is Golden Brilliance Stone.

The divine weapon, the Son of Heaven Sword, in He Qi Feng's hand, is crafted from Golden Brilliance Stone.

The second is Blood Crystal Stone.

Blood crystal, like black ice, is light, thin, and crystal clear, beautiful beyond words.

But blood crystal material is not cold; instead, it is somewhat warm.

It is very suitable for warming hands.

"I heard your name is Blood Drink?" Lu Ran weighed the blood crystal curved blade.

He could feel that the moment he gripped the hilt, it no longer had any thoughts of resistance.

Presumably, Lu Ran had just killed its master with a crushing momentum, making this blade quite fearful!

"Yes."

"Old thing, the name you chose is quite domineering." Lu Ran curled his lips.

Blood Drink Curved Blade: "..."

Lu Ran performed a blade flower and looked into the distance: "Change your voice; I don't like it."

"Yes..."

Lu Ran locked his gaze on a spot and flashed; when he appeared again, he was standing on a mountain peak a few kilometers south of the hideout.

Beside him was the He-surnamed woman, who was disheartened and sitting on the ground.

He Jing shivered, hurriedly knelt properly, and lowered her head, saying: "Great... Great Master."

Lu Ran did not speak, but opened a teleportation mirror.

Soon, the Hall Master of the Flying Immortal Hall walked out: "Sect Master."

"Guard strictly." Lu Ran signaled toward the woman.

"Yes!" Song Yu was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he had heard the Sect Master make such a request.

He stepped forward quickly, helped the woman up, and quickly brought her into the mirror.

After finishing everything, Lu Ran only then caught his breath.

As for those two Ice Butterfly disciples, there was no need to send them back to the cliff for the time being.

Staying here to perform perception techniques and help guard for a while was also quite good.

Lu Ran raised his head, looking at the incomparably spectacular scene, watching the mist tornadoes descending from the sky.

The Shadow had finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish!

Hopefully, she herself could also take this opportunity to break through the bottleneck and advance to the vast sea.

Begging for some monthly votes.
