Chapter 75: Blood Sacrifice, Nian Yun Appears in the World!

  Still in that mysterious sword formation, there was not a single sound of wind, only the stars suspended in the void still shrouded this sky, and the hundred or so long swords inserted into the ground had changed at this moment. Suddenly, the green light on the sword body surged greatly, and instantly, countless stars fell from the sky, sprinkling a brilliant silver starlight, each starlight corresponding to one long sword. Upon closer inspection, the number of stars in the sky was surprisingly identical to the number of long swords inserted into the ground.

  At this moment, the sword group and the star group in the sky were faintly connected together. Even the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost, extending all the way to Lu Qing's body on the ground. The silver light flowed like water and strangely merged into the two people's bodies. A moment later, the two simultaneously opened their eyes and happened to see the strange phenomenon in front of them.

  "This... is actually..." Looking at the scene in front of him, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, Duan Qingyun's face revealed a deep shock. Such means had completely departed from his understanding. What kind of cultivation and divine power would be required to set up such a grand scene?

  On the other hand, Lu Qing first sensed his own body and found that the cultivation he had consumed to resist the mysterious woman's sonic wave had already recovered. From this moment on, in the starlight shining on his body, he felt a pure sword energy that was unprecedented, almost pure without any impurities. Compared to his own Wind and Thunder Sword Origin, his own Wind and Thunder Sword Origin could only be considered muddy water.

  However, he soon felt extremely regretful because he found that the sword energy was not affected by his activated Rising Sun Heart Sutra at all, but instead wandered aimlessly, although it only wandered past his body. The equally pure and unmatched aura still filled his sword with vitality, and his mind was clear and calm.

  What kind of place is this? Lu Qing's heart was filled with doubts, but then he thought of Yu Jihua and the others outside, they must have gone to seek help by now. For some reason, Lu Qing didn't have high hopes for them, or rather, he didn't hold out much hope. The longer he stayed in this place, the more he could feel its mysterious and wonderful power, as well as its vastness.

  He even estimated that if all the free sword energy here exploded, it would be difficult for places within a radius of several miles centered on Langyashan to escape disaster. Although he didn't dare to believe it, the pure sword energy that had passed through his body made him unhesitatingly believe this point.

  "How is it? Is this world still satisfactory for you?" At that time, the voice of the woman who had originally disappeared sounded again.

  "Is you!" Duan Qingyun's face showed a rare look of terror, shouting at the empty space where the distant voice came from: "What do you want to do?"

  "How I want to, how I think, what I can do!" The woman's originally cold voice suddenly became hysterical. "Ridiculous that I used to think they would ask me how I am, was I too naive? Ah, yes, I'm really too naive."

  The woman's voice turned cold and stern, "You'd better stay here quietly, wait until the sword energy of Mars Domain is released, it will be the time to sacrifice you with your blood."

  Blood sacrifice!

  Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat as he heard the words. He had read many classics and had come across historical records that mentioned some savage lands beyond the realm of civilization, where there lived wild men who drank blood and ate raw flesh. They did not practice swordsmanship or understand any form of cultivation, but instead had some unimaginable ways of survival.

  And among them, there is a legend of blood sacrifice. The blood sacrifice refers to the barbarians and wild people who drain all the fresh blood from live beasts, store it in a large stone pot, and use it to worship heaven and earth when the moon is full, so as to pray for the great gods between heaven and earth to bless them to withstand wind, rain, thunder and lightning, diseases and plagues.

  This woman suddenly said she wanted to use their blood for sacrifice, which clearly meant they would lose their lives soon.

  Can't just sit and wait for death, Lu Qing's heart moved, although strong reinforcements may arrive soon, the two of them can't do nothing but wait to die. Even if the strength difference is unknown, they must die with a fierce battle spirit. The Lu family has no descendants who sit and wait for death.

  "Attack those swordsmen!" Lu Qing suddenly said in a low voice.

  "What!" Duan Qingyun beside him was stunned upon hearing this.

  "What she said about the domain of stars must be referring to the stars in the sky, and the silver starlight that was released must be the sword energy without a doubt. The connection between the starlight and those swords must have its purpose, as long as we destroy those swords, I think this formation will either be broken or at least be affected and stopped."

  Duan Qingyun's eyes lit up involuntarily, and he grabbed the Lihuo Sword on the ground with one hand. All the sword elements in his body converged onto the Lihuo Sword. At this moment, facing the threat of death, Duan Qingyun's spirit was exceptionally concentrated. The Lihuo Sword extended a six-inch-long Xuanyang Sword Qi, which made a hissing sound. The purple sword qi even made Lu Qing feel a thread of scorching hot air.

  Suddenly, a purple light flashed in Duan Qingyun's eyes, and the tip of the Lihuo sword burst out again, reaching a length of seven inches. Lu Qing's eyes lit up, knowing that at this critical moment, Duan Qingyun had finally overcome himself, and his cultivation, which was originally stuck at the peak of the Sword Master's Heavenly Rank, had made a breakthrough, truly stepping into the Great Heavenly Rank of the Sword Master. If this crisis could be overcome, perhaps within two or three years, there would be an opportunity to impact the realm of the Pre-Heavenly Sword Guest.

  A fierce fighting spirit surged up in his eyes, no matter what, he had to fight to know the outcome.

  "It seems I underestimated you," the woman's icy voice sounded again, "However, you can try, for the sake of your two sacrificial offerings' attempt before death, I can still permit it."

  "Despicable!" Duan Qingyun roared, his Flame Sword dancing with fierce gusts of wind, drawing a strange circle in mid-air. The Xuanyuan Sword Qi was fully infused within it, and seven inches before the Flame Sword, a purple sword qi circle took shape. The rapidly spinning sword qi whirred and shattered the still air, appearing exceptionally clear in this quiet space.

  Rising Sun Thirteen Swords Style: Twelfth Form - Purple Energy Arrives from the East!

  Duan Qingyun's entire body almost instantly traversed a distance of six zhang, stabbing forward with all his might towards the long sword in front of him. The purple sword energy circle rotated and cut, heavily colliding with the sword body.

  What!

  In Duan Qingyun's astonished gaze, the Xunfeng sword energy wrapped around the long sword suddenly surged violently, and the destructive sword energy circle formed by the purple energy from the east was shattered in an instant. Then a powerful rebounding force came, Duan Qingyun's wrist shook violently, the Lihuo sword flew out of his hand, and he himself was thrown flying.

  He flew over to catch Duan Qingyun, Lu Qing retreated two steps to dissipate the force, looking at Duan Qingyun's cracked tiger mouth and helpless smile, Lu Qing's mood had never been as heavy as it was now. He raised the Lianxin Sword in his hand, stroked it for a while, and then inserted it into his back under Duan Qingyun's astonished gaze.

  He took down the Nian Yun Sword that had been on his back, and now at this critical moment of life and death, only by using the strongest power could he gain a thread of hope. Moreover, Lu Qing was also full of trust in Duan Qingyun.

  The wrapped cyan cloth was opened, revealing the purple hilt of the Nianyun Sword inside. The sword's blade, which seemed to be burning like a flame, was divided into two halves on either side. As if sensing the life-and-death battle intent hidden in Lu Qing's heart, the hilt of the Nianyun Sword began to emit a faint golden light. The entire wrapped sword body started to tremble, and an inexplicable powerful aura gradually spread around Lu Qing.

  "This is...!" Duan Qingyun couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, staring at the Nian Yun Sword wrapped in three-colored deer skin, "A Golden Heaven-level divine sword!"

  Duan Qingyun had always been curious about the sword wrapped in a green cloth that Lu Qing carried with him at all times, but Lu Qing never took it out to show anyone, not even Yu Ji and Hua who were close to him. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and since Lu Qing didn't say anything, it was clear that the time hadn't come yet.

  But the emergence of the Golden Heaven-level divine sword still shocked him, as in the entire Purple Mist Sect, only the sect master's sword, Liuyang, was a Golden Heaven-level. In the past, when Sect Master Luo Qiufeng wielded the mighty Liuyang Sword, he had single-handedly beheaded a Sword King-level swordsman who came to provoke them, thus establishing his illustrious reputation and status within a thousand-mile radius of the Purple Mist Sect's territory. At that time, Sect Master Luo Qiufeng was also at the Sword King level, which made people clearly recognize the power of Golden Heaven-level divine swords.

  At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly took out a golden heavenly sword, which made Duan Qingyun's originally somewhat despondent expression shine again. After all, with the help of the divine sword's power and Lu Qing's strong wind and thunder sword energy, it might be possible to break through this sword array in one go.

  "Huh? It's actually a Golden Heaven-level divine sword. The spiritual energy of this sword is incredibly strong! You're just a young man, yet you possess such a divine sword... what exactly is your identity?" The woman's voice rang out again, her tone still icy, but clearly filled with surprise and astonishment.

  As he gazed at the sword in his hand, which seemed to respond to his battle intent with a faint golden glow, Lu Qing's heart suddenly rose with a strong sense of pride. A Golden Heaven-level divine sword - how many people could forge one in the entire Divine Sword Continent? Not to mention that two had been forged by the Lu family, and as for the Cyan-level divine swords forged by the Lu family over the past thousand years, there were nearly twenty of them, a staggering number.

  He gazed steadily at the void in front of him, shrouded in sword energy and starlight, which was where the mysterious woman's voice came from. Lu Qing's voice was filled with a strong sense of pride, neither arrogant nor humble, as he declared loudly: "Lu Qing, the 21st generation head of the Lu family, swordsmiths of Yangyang Town."
