Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 101: How About We Have a Round First
"Damn it!"
Guan Tianya’s face twisted in fury. A flaw had been broken in the Forbidden Array and Lin Qingyu had escaped. He immediately gave chase, but unfortunately, Lin Qingyu was long gone.
Even though it wasn’t Yang Qingyue who had escaped, Lin Qingxi still breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, her gaze, as she looked at Guan Tianya, was still filled with coldness and mockery.
Her eyes seemed to say: ’You’re finished. Just wait for death, you old bastard!’
"AHHH—"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Guan Tianya roared. After exhausting his energy to repair the flaw in the Forbidden Array, he once again coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood!
Then, his fiery, vicious gaze locked onto Yang Qingyue.
"SQUELCH—"
His hand transformed into a bloody claw, burning with his Blazing Fire Sword Soul, as he mercilessly chopped down.
Yang Qingyue’s head was split in two.
Although her remaining Guardian struggled to release a flash of cyan light, it disintegrated in an instant!
"Die, die, die, die, die!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
With the power of his Blazing Fire Sword Soul, he stabbed again and again, delivering over a hundred strikes!
Dozens of breaths later, Yang Qingyue was as dead as could be, her corpse hacked into a bloody pulp.
"HISS—"
Guan Tianya activated the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique, completely devouring Yang Qingyue’s Essence, Qi, and Soul. Afterward, his entire body swelled slightly, as if he had suddenly gained over twenty pounds.
’His aura is frenzied. The grade of his Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique is too low. He probably only obtained one or two scrolls of it, and I wonder which ones. Plus, they’re clearly incomplete,’ Ye Tianling analyzed internally.
Now, after witnessing Yang Qingyue’s gruesome death, Yang Qingyun and the others were scared into silence.
Among them, Yang Qingyun was the most pathetic, actually dropping to his knees, intending to kowtow and beg for his life.
But the moment he knelt, Guan Tianya snatched him up.
"WHOOSH—"
Guan Tianya summoned a blood-colored Alchemy Furnace.
The Alchemy Furnace had six handles and three legs, resembling a strange Ancient Tripod Cauldron.
The Alchemy Furnace was covered in countless flame Runes. It was nearly three meters tall, floating and rotating in the Void.
Beneath the Alchemy Furnace, blood-red flames appeared spontaneously.
The flames blazed fiercely, emitting the piercing crackle of exploding Energy.
Guan Tianya grabbed Yang Qingyun and tossed him directly into the Alchemy Furnace.
Then, with another grab, he seized Zhou Qinghao and Xu Qingchen and threw them into the Pill Furnace as well.
"BANG—"
Above the Pill Furnace, a blood-colored lid shaped like a small mountain slammed down, sealing the Alchemy Furnace shut.
"THOOM! THOOM! THOOM!—"
Earth-shattering explosions erupted from within the Alchemy Furnace—the life-preserving Guardians of Yang Qingyun, Zhou Qinghao, and Xu Qingchen had been triggered, unleashing their destructive power.
Unfortunately, inside the Alchemy Furnace, it was as if they were in Guan Tianya’s personal World; no matter how powerful their Guardians were, they were helpless to resist.
’Alchemy... Hmm, perhaps this can help me temper my Samadhi True Fire. I could go in and give it a try.’
’The Samadhi True Fire is an Immortal Fire. In this World, the legacy of an "Immortal" is likely even more profound than that of a Divine Spirit. This Alchemy might even help me temper my Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, allowing my physical tempering to reach the stage of Great Success. So, I shouldn’t be in a hurry to act just yet.’
Ye Tianling had already activated his True Essence and undone all the restrictions on him. As for the Celestial Net Talisman, it had almost no effect within this Great Forbidden Array, so Ye Tianling wasn’t afraid of it.
He had originally planned to activate the Dragon Blood Treasure Tower Celestial Ladder, even preparing to fully activate the Ninety-nine-story Dragon Blood Treasure Tower Celestial Ladder and use it as a Blood Sacrifice to kill Guan Tianya.
That one strike would have been enough to kill Guan Tianya—although afterward, Ye Tianling would have been completely drained of Energy, and his Realm might have even dropped drastically.
But now, seeing his opponent use an Alchemy Furnace for the Refining of Yang Qingyun and the others, Ye Tianling temporarily set aside his killing intent. He prepared to let himself be "refined" like an Elixir to temper his physical body and fully awaken the Unparalleled Tyrant Body Talent of his Sword Venerate Dominating Body.
With the Samadhi True Fire and the Unparalleled Dragon Soul, Ye Tianling had his greatest source of confidence—he knew clearly how incomparably powerful and invincible this Dragon Soul Divine Blood heritage from Huaxia was.
While Ye Tianling was lost in thought, the piercing screams from the Alchemy Furnace became faintly audible. They were the agonized, struggling howls of Yang Qingyun, Zhou Qinghao, and Xu Qingchen.
Ye Tianling watched and listened quietly, his gaze gradually calming and his eyes growing even more resolute.
This was a cruel Sword Dao World.
Only by fighting with everything you have, seizing every opportunity, grasping every stroke of luck, and facing life and death without fear could one hope to gain anything.
In truth, those six weren’t without the power to fight back, nor did they lack the chance to risk their lives. But unfortunately, they weren’t ruthless enough, nor were they united.
Lin Qingyu was ruthless enough, so she exploited the escape opportunity intended for Yang Qingyue, betrayed all her fellow disciples, and fled alone.
Yang Qingyue wasn’t ruthless enough, so she was the first to die.
Yang Qingyun and the other two tried to cling shamefully to life, their hearts having already lost the will to fight. They were directly used as ingredients for a Human Pill and refined to death while still alive.
This scene didn’t faze Ye Tianling much.
In contrast, Lin Qingxi, who was beside him, had a face drained of all color. Her gaze was fixed on the Alchemy Furnace, and she couldn’t stop tears from welling up in her eyes.
She bit her lip so hard to keep the tears from falling that her small, cherry-like lips began to look red and swollen.
She looked so naive, so young, and so haggard that it would make anyone’s heart ache for her. But Guan Tianya was clearly not a man who had any pity for beautiful women.
Guan Tianya paid no attention to Ye Tianling and Lin Qingxi. In his eyes, there was no way the two of them could escape.
His Alchemy process was fast. Or rather, he was merely using the Alchemy Furnace to instantly refine the three to death, then using the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique to devour their Essence, Qi, and Soul to recover some of his own strength and adjust himself to a more ideal state.
Ye Tianling assessed his own condition and carefully examined the depths of his Samadhi True Fire. After confirming he was in optimal shape, he grew calm and unhurried.
Ye Tianling’s gaze swept around before finally landing on Guan Tianya. "Guan Tianya, you old dog, you just devour other people’s Abilities and never rely on your own Cultivation. The next time you face a Tribulation, the Thunder Tribulation will just strike you dead anyway. Since you’re going to die no matter what, why not just give up and undergo Transformation Dao now? Stop all this pointless struggling. It’s all for nothing."
Guan Tianya, who was controlling the Alchemy Furnace, froze for a moment. His gaze shot over sharply. "Long Tianshu, just you wait to be refined to death by me! Although the Devouring Technique has many flaws, as long as I find a proper ’Cauldron’ and use Yin Yang Harmony to regulate myself, there won’t be any flaws left!"
Ye Tianling smirked. "Then why did the Thunder Tribulation nearly strike you dead before?"
Hearing this, Guan Tianya shuddered violently, a vicious light flaring in his eyes. "Long Tianshu, enjoy these last few hundred breaths of life. In a moment, I will refine you to death first!"
Ye Tianling was unfazed. "Old man, you’re old and washed up. You can’t get it up anymore. All you can do is cry while looking at a Fairy. Things like Yin Yang Harmony should be left to the handsome young elites of the noble Dragon Race—like Lord Long here, for instance."
As he spoke, Ye Tianling grinned at Lin Qingxi and said, "Qingxi, since you’re going to be defiled by this old bastard Guan Tianya anyway, why don’t we have a go at it first?"
Lin Qingxi raised her head slightly. Her clear eyes, glistening with teardrops, gazed quietly at Ye Tianling. She bit her lip and gave a slight nod. "Alright, I agree—let me help you undo the Celestial Net Talisman first."
