Chapter 156: Overlord's Sword, Jin Lie (Part 2)

  The middle-aged man's face turned a deep shade of red, as if he had been suddenly illuminated from within. His complexion changed dramatically and his spirit was lifted. He pushed Long Ziyuan towards Xuan Tian and shouted: "Go...Ziyuan, you must remember, without the power to protect yourself, never return to the Long family, go!"

  As the middle-aged man spoke, Xuan Tian saw that on the other side of the cave, five black-clad men were rushing towards them.

  These five men in black, unlike Deng Wanchuan and the others, not only wore a black robe, but also had a black cloak on their heads, and on the front of their black robes, there was a blood-red skull print.

  "Uncle Wan——!"

  Long Ziyuan was still hesitating when Xuan Tian had already lifted her up and rushed towards the mountain valley with abundant spiritual energy.

  Those five men in black clothes, their cultivation was externalized, and Xuan Tian had only taken a glance to see that each of them were high-level experts in the Later Stage of the Innate Realm.

  Among them, two were Innate Eighth Order cultivators and three were Innate Seventh Order cultivators.

  Although Long Ziyuan's cultivation had reached the Fourth Heaven of the Pre-Heaven Realm, and she could cast the Dragon Shadow Possession secret technique, her strength might be comparable to that of a Seventh Heaven expert. However, even with Xuantian by her side, they were still no match for the five Late-Stage Pre-Heaven Realm experts of the Lianxue Evil Sect.

  Those five powerful Blood Cult experts arrived extremely quickly. The middle-aged man was already beyond salvation, and if they hesitated for another moment, they wouldn't be able to escape.

  This time entering the Yin Wind Mountains, in just over half a month, he had already been pursued and killed three times.

  Xuantian deeply felt that his own strength was still far from sufficient. His strength, among the inner disciples of Tiānjiàn Sect, was absolutely the first existence. Even many core disciples were not Xuantian's opponents. However, venturing into the Jianghu world, it was still difficult to protect himself.

  It's just a small place like Shen Dao Wang Chao for now, the enemies he has encountered are not strong, and there are even more powerful enemies waiting for him in the back.

  He must keep getting stronger.

  Five powerful cultivators of the Blood Evil Sect chased out of the cave, while Xuan Tian and Long Ziyue had already rushed up to the mountain peak beside the valley. Although it was quite steep, it didn't hinder the two of them.

  However, the five masters of the Blood Evil Sect were even faster,

  He took a step and crossed from the cave entrance to the other side of the mountain valley, then stepped on the steep cliff and rushed towards Xuan Tian and Long Ziyuan.

  "So fast..."

  The five masters of the Blood Evil Sect must have cultivated the top-grade lightness skill of the Mystic Stage, and their attainments are not low. Even if Xuan Tian has cultivated the middle-grade lightness skill of the Mystic Stage and possesses great power, the speed at which the five masters of the Blood Evil Sect catch up is still half a beat faster than Xuan Tian's.

  Long Ziyuan's qinggong was also a mid-grade Xuan rank, and she had the power of the dragon in her body, which was even greater than Xuantian's power. Her speed was faster than Xuantian's.

  It started with Xuan Tian dragging Long Ziyuan to run.

  Climbing up the precipice, Long Ziyuan woke up from her sorrow and knew that she was facing a huge crisis at this moment. She went all out, exceeding Xuan Tian's speed, and instead pulled Xuan Tian to run with her.

  Two people went along the mountain ridge, directly rushing to the top of the mountain. Xuan Tian raised his hand and a fire letter shot up into the sky, exploding high in the air and flashing out a huge "sword" character.

  The distress signal of the Tianjian Sect disciples.

  The enemy chasing from behind was too fast and too powerful, making escape almost hopeless. Xuan Tian had no choice but to gather his fellow disciples.

  On a mountain peak more than ten miles away from Xuan Tian, two young men, one with a sword on his back and the other with a knife, were rushing forward. Their figures were like a gust of wind, and with one breath, they flashed over 200 meters ahead.

  The swordsman was about twenty-four or five years old, with skin as white as jade and wearing a white outfit, looking exceptionally handsome.

  The one with his back to the knife was even younger, only seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and strong, with skin like ancient bronze, wearing a red robe, with an air of majesty that seemed to pierce the sky.

  When a "sword" character flashed in the sky, the young man with his back to the knife said: "Bai Yu Chan, we have been competing in light work for an hour and ran over a thousand miles without being able to distinguish between victory and defeat. If you are having trouble as a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, why don't we temporarily suspend the competition and go take a look?

  "Good!" The white-robed man named Bai Yu Chan nodded, and the two of them changed direction, like a gust of wind, rushing towards the mountain where Xuan Tian sent out the signal, their speed almost identical.

  Xuantian and Long Ziyuan ran over the mountain, sprinting with all their might. With each step, they covered 140 meters. As Xuantian ran, he smeared the bloodstains on Long Ziyuan's body onto her face, saying, "We may encounter my fellow disciples later, so you can't reveal your appearance. Let me give you a disguise first."

  Long Ziyuan ran, using about fifty to sixty percent of the 'Sealing Mystical Technique', her skin became a bit coarser and with blood all over her face, it was impossible to see her original appearance.

  Xuantian and Long Ziyuan ran quickly, but the five Blood Cult experts behind them were even faster. With each step, they closed in to within nearly two hundred meters. Especially the two Pre-Heavenly Boundary Eighth Layer experts, who took strides of over two hundred meters with each step. In just one breath, they had narrowed the distance between themselves and Xuantian and Long Ziyuan by dozens of meters.

  Long Ziyuan took out two pills from her bosom and said, "This is a Xuan-level pill, 'Shenxing Dan'. After taking it, the blood flow in your legs will accelerate, allowing you to run faster. The effect can last for a hundred breaths."

  The two of them swallowed the 'Divine Speed Pill', and in an instant, their speed surged, reaching a pace where they could cover over 200 meters with just one step.

  Two innate eighth-order evil sect experts were about to catch up with the two, but the result was that the two suddenly accelerated and the distance between them remained at nearly three hundred meters, unable to be caught up.

  Less than twenty breaths later, Bai Yu Chan and the young man with a knife on his back arrived at the mountain where Xuan Tian released the signal, following the traces on the ground to catch up.

  The speed of the two was much faster than Xuan Tian, Long Ziyin, and the five evil sect experts. After another thirty breaths, they saw the seven people fleeing in front of them.

  Bai Yu Chan looked at the five men in black and said, "These five people dare to kill our sect's disciples, they're really looking for death. Jin Lie, I've thought of another way to test them."

  The young man with a knife on his back ran and said: "Tell me about it."

  "These five black-clad men, three are Seventh-Order Pre-Heavenly Cultivators and two are Eighth-Order Pre-Heavenly Cultivators. Killing one Seventh-Order Cultivator counts as one point, killing an Eighth-Order Cultivator counts as two points. We'll strike at the same time, finish them off, and then compare our scores to see whether your saber is faster, Gold-Lightning Saber-King, or my sword is faster, Absolute-Sword White-Yu-Zen."

  Jin Lie's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and he said: "In total there are seven points, it will ultimately be decided who wins or loses, it can't end in a draw. Compared to racing speed, this is much more interesting."

  As they spoke, nearly ten breaths of time had passed, and the two were now less than 300 meters away from the black-clad figure in the back.

  "Whoever offends the Tianjian Sect shall be killed without pardon!" White Jade Chan shouted loudly.

  As soon as the words fell, Bai Yu Chan and Jin Lie, both of them made their moves at the same time.

  The knives and swords behind them suddenly appeared in their hands and struck down at the same time.

  In an instant, a sword gleam and a knife gleam burst out, cutting out six or seven hundred feet, straight towards the five black-clothed men in front.

  The five black-clad men who were chasing after Xuan Tian and Long Ziyue suddenly felt a chill on their backs, as fierce sword and knife energies came slashing down, with the intent of the knives and swords crisscrossing in all directions, making them feel cold to the bone, like they had entered an ice cellar.

  Five black-clad men, all of whom were high-ranking masters in the Later Stage of Innate Realm, possessed a martial will that was at least equivalent to a First-Order Sword Intent. However, they were still deeply affected by the illusory attacks of the Knife Intent and Sword Intent. It could be seen that as the knife edge and sword edge chopped down, the Knife Intent and Sword Intent had reached at least Second-Order level.

  The five black-clad figures halted their advance, turned around, and raised the weapons in their hands, unleashing a powerful aura that exploded outward in all directions, forming a pre-heavenly true energy defensive barrier to counter this sword and knife attack.

  Pffft——

  Two loud sounds, like the tearing of fabric, two black-clad men in the Seventh Heaven Realm, their protective aura shields instantly shattered by sword and knife edges, bursting apart in an instant.

  Dong Dong——!

  Two crisp sounds, Jin Lie and Bai Yu Chan instantly flashed in front of the two black-clothed men at the Seventh Heaven of the Innate Realm, with sparkling treasured knives and swords in their hands, cutting out as the knife edges and sword edges disappeared.

  The black-clad man who was cut down by Jin Lie's sword had a treasured staff in his hand, which was directly severed into two segments. His entire body was also cut in half, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

  The black-clad man who was split in two by the White Jade Zen's slash, also held a treasured long sword in his hand. The long sword had been bent into an arc shape but did not break instantly. The black-clad man avoided being cut in half, but the enormous force shook his internal organs severely, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out. His body shot backward like a cannonball.

  This first attack seemed to be Kim Yul's attack, and it was even more powerful.

  In an instant, two Seventh-Order Innate experts were left with one dead and one heavily injured.

  Just as they were about to be rescued by others, Xuan Tian and Long Ziyuan stopped in their tracks, turned around, and saw a scene of one person being split in two by a sword and another heavily injured.

  "What a tyrannical swordsmanship." Xuan Tian's heart skipped a beat.

  "Dragon's Cloud Severing Blade."

  Jin Lie killed a pre-heaven seventh-realm expert with one slash of his sword, his speed unaffected in the slightest, even faster than Bai Yu Chan, and then slashed out again for the second time.

  A sword slashes through the sky, with a dragon's shadow flowing within. One slash downwards, and even the clouds in the distant horizon are split into two by the sword's energy.

  One sword slash, as if heaven and earth are about to split apart.

  The Second-Order Knife Intent enveloped an area of several hundred meters, and even Xuan Tian felt a domineering knife aura slashing towards him.

  However, all the illusions around him were cut off by Xuántiān's second-order sword intent, and he and Lóng Zǐyǎn were not affected.

  Jin Lie's sword struck again, aiming at a Seventh-Order Pre-Heaven expert. Seeing him take the lead, Bai Yu Chan followed suit and stabbed his sword at an Eighth-Order Pre-Heaven expert.

  A sword flashed out, and the sky and earth darkened. That one sword was like a falling starlight, as if only this one sword remained between heaven and earth.

  Jin Lie struck with one knife towards the remaining Seventh-Order Black Robe cultivator, another Eighth-Order Black Robe cultivator originally wanted to rescue him but seeing Jin Lie's powerful strike, his heart trembled and he immediately retreated.

  With a crisp sound, the black-clothed man with seven layers of innate realm was cut in two by Jin Lie's single knife, both his weapon and body severed.

  Two breaths, Jin Lie cut down two Seventh-Order Innate experts in a row.
