Chapter 214: Ye Gu! Die!

"The Avici Sword has suffered considerable damage."

Stowing the Avici Sword into his sleeve, Lu Yang's eyes revealed a trace of astonishment: "So this is the Second Grade True Art of the Sword Pavilion? The Nine Sons and Mother Heavenly Demon Sword-Slaying Art."

I want it so badly!

It was no wonder Lu Yang was covetous.

After all, if it came to a hard clash, the Avici Sword actually could not compare to the 【Nine Sons and Mother Heavenly Demon Sword-Slaying Sword】, not because the Avici Sword's quality was weaker.

It was because Ye Gu was a sword cultivator.

She could use her Innate Divine Ability and Talent Divine Ability to empower her Dharma Sword, causing its power to surge violently, whereas Lu Yang relied entirely on the Avici Sword's own divine marvels.

Fortunately, before this sword duel, Lu Yang had used the 【Avici Sword】 to kill several sword cultivators in succession, stacking the 【Human Butcher】's special attack bonus to an extremely high level, which effectively offset Ye Gu's advantage; coupled with the fact that he had been building up momentum for a long time, he managed to gain a slight upper hand.

Moreover, this result was caused by the influence of multiple factors.

After all, the Avici Sword side was a charged attack, possessing only the power of a single strike; if Ye Gu's mind had been clear, she could have chosen a method of entangling combat and maneuvering to circle around him.

However, she chose to clash head-on.

'In the end, she was drained of karmic merit by Master Chongguang, with calamity qi entangling her body!'

Even though she relied on the Sword Pavilion's secret methods to maintain clarity of thought, she still found it difficult to completely escape the influence, resulting in minute errors in her critical decision-making.

If not for this, Lu Yang would at most have fought to a draw with her, finding it difficult to kill her, let alone capture her alive.

However, in cultivator spell battles, what matters has always been the result.

And the result was that he won!

"."

The next second, dazzling brilliance emerged on Ye Gu's body, wrapping her entirely as she attempted to tear open the void and forcibly escape the blessed land fragment.

Clearly, Ye Gu had recognized the situation.

She had lost; indeed, if she did not flee immediately, she would die! Thus, even though forcibly leaving the blessed land fragment would cause severe injury, she could no longer care about that.

However, how could Lu Yang allow her to leave?

"【Embrace and Guard the Mountain】!"

The next second, the Divine Ability activated; the towering Wushan Mountain stabilized the spiritual energy and calmed the void, extinguishing the brilliance on Ye Gu's body and knocking her down.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Yang unleashed another Daoist Art.

"【Imperial Edict to Move Mountains and Shift Peaks】!"

Forming hand seals, chanting incantations, pointing at the mystery—three steps completed in one seamless motion.

Although Ye Gu reacted extremely quickly, immediately sealing her seven orifices so she neither heard the sound of Lu Yang's chanting nor saw his hand seal movements.

She still could not avoid being struck by his pointing finger.

Immediately following this, clumps of mud and water gushed out from her shapely body, instantly transforming her into an immovable clay statue.

The clay statue fell through the air, taking root upon hitting the ground.

However, very soon, Lu Yang frowned, stopped his actions, and casually flicked his hand to shatter the clay statue, only to find it completely empty inside.

"Heh, the golden cicada sheds its shell?"

Lu Yang opened the Dharma Eye in his brow; the Instrument of Investigating Heaven rotated, and the light of Bing Fire illuminated the six directions, immediately revealing a graceful figure secretly attempting to flee.

"Where does the fairy wish to go?"

Lu Yang laughed loudly, immediately altered his Dharma Art, and switched the divine marvel of Embrace and Guard the Mountain; the towering mountain shadow solidified from void into reality, crashing down heavily upon Ye Gu.

"Boom!"

The next second, Ye Gu's form stumbled.

She had originally been fleeing using a Sword Pellet, but now, suppressed by 【Embrace and Guard the Mountain】, the Sword Pellet that usually operated smoothly remained completely unresponsive, like a stone sinking into the sea.

Immediately following this, the 【Imperial Edict to Move Mountains and Shift Peaks】 struck her again.

Seeing this, Ye Gu could only helplessly form hand seals, releasing another Heavenly Demon to die in her place, before fleeing a thousand li away, intending to drag out the time.

'Hold on!'

'This blessed land... is about to shatter completely!'

At this moment, Ye Gu's Sword Heart was clear and bright; even with calamity qi entangling her, she had seized the last thread of vitality. Once the blessed land shattered naturally, she would still have a way to survive!

Thinking this, Ye Gu continued to struggle to flee.

And the disaster-avoiding ability of the 【Nine Sons and Mother Heavenly Demon Sword-Slaying Sword】 was indeed incredible; it forcibly dodged Lu Yang's suppression seven more times, actually managing to hold on.

"Crack!"

Finally, a clear sound of shattering rang out between heaven and earth.

It was originally just a fragment of a blessed land; even with Master Chongguang's magic power holding it together, after so many collisions, it finally could not bear the burden and visibly shattered apart!

'Now is the time!'

Ye Gu took a deep breath, urging up all her remaining magic power, and at the moment a rift appeared in the blessed land, she mounted a beam of fleeing light and vanished into the fissure.

The next second, her vision suddenly opened up!

What came into view was none other than the old ruins of the 【Qing Kingdom】 outside the blessed land; at this moment, several familiar cultivators were still conversing nearby, including members of the Dao Court and the Pure Land.

The sky remained dim, clearly indicating that the battle between the True Persons had not yet ended.

But regardless—

'I'm finally out!'

Even with Ye Gu's disposition, escaping with her life this time inevitably brought a few points of wild joy, and she thought secretly: 'Demon, I will surely not rest until I settle accounts with you in the future!'

However, the most urgent task was still to seek someone's protection!

Thinking this, Ye Gu immediately turned her gaze toward the Dao Court and Pure Land directions; just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a mighty wave surge from behind her!

Looking back.

She saw the void split open, revealing the scene within the blessed land fragment: atop a towering high mountain, Lu Yang sat cross-legged, his robes fluttering wildly in the wind.

And above his head, beams of spiritual light emerged at this moment; the Myriad Souls Banner, Avici Sword, Formless Sword, Instrument of Investigating Heaven, Hundred-Edged Subduing-Danger Black-Crow Cloak, Jingping Clearing-Miasma Pagoda, Ziwei Office Bestowed Supreme Golden Seal, and the Imperial Palace Golden Seal Tushuo True Edict—eight high-grade magic treasures rang out in unison!

Besides these, there was also a huge pile of treasures stripped from Chongming.

These were all True Person Master Chongguang's collections; although they lacked high-grade magic treasures, they were at least lower-grade and middle-grade treasures, their quality far surpassing the mundane.

At this moment, all these magic treasures converged together.

As for Lu Yang, he formed hand seals with both hands and unleashed a Daoist Art he had never used before.

"【River of Ten Thousand Treasures】!"

Not far away, the Many-Treasures Boy, as the orthodox successor of the 【River of Ten Thousand Treasures】, watched in stunned disbelief.

This Daoist Art was originally meant to win by quantity, combining hundreds of magic treasures to exert the power of a high-grade magic treasure, but in Lu Yang's hands, it had changed completely.

His 【River of Ten Thousand Treasures】 components were, at the very least, magic treasures!

At this moment, all the cultivators outside the blessed land felt darkness before their eyes, their Dharma Bodies swaying, as if they had become a lone boat amidst a storm of violent winds and huge waves!

What met their eyes was a magnificent long river!

This river was vast in scale and extremely grand, flowing out from within the blessed land fragment amidst a rumbling sound and sweeping down toward Ye Gu's direction.

Witnessing this scene, everyone found it hard to believe, feeling that this river before their eyes was overwhelmingly unstoppable, sweeping broadly, like rivers and seas overflowing; merely approaching it brought an indescribable sucking force descending, like a sea-eye vortex, threatening to swallow them and bury them at the riverbed.

Ye Gu's beautiful face instantly turned deathly pale: "Save—"

"Run!"

From the directions of the Dao Court and Pure Land, several Foundation Establishment True Persons' faces changed dramatically; they paid no attention to Ye Gu whatsoever and, without a second word, mounted beams of fleeing light and retreated at full speed.

The next second, the 【River of Ten Thousand Treasures】 crashed down.

"Boom!"

With only a loud crash heard, Ye Gu, under the gaze of everyone, was caught by the river water formed from the light of magic treasures, her body wrapped up and dragged back into the blessed land in one grab.

Was this a demon from the Chusheng Mo Sect capturing a fairy from the Sword Pavilion?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment; before they could react, they heard Ye Gu's sharp cry coming from within the blessed land fragment, obscured by the 【River of Ten Thousand Treasures】:

"Demon, how dare you!?"

Immediately following this, Lu Yang's voice rang out, laughing loudly: "Naive, what do I have to fear? Today, your Second Grade True Art is something I am determined to obtain!"

"No, wait, let go of me!"

"Aren't you afraid of my Sword Pavilion's retaliation—"

"What cultivation art do you want? I can tell you!"

Before Ye Gu could finish speaking, she let out a cry of pain, and Lu Yang's voice rang out again: "Tell me? What if you secretly deceive me?"

"Senior Uncle Master Chongguang taught me that one must always rely on oneself!"

"I only believe in myself!"

Only the True Persons of the Holy Sect, after a slight surprise, quickly regained their calm.

"From the sound of it, isn't that Yuan Tu?"

"Oh, then it's not strange."
