Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 103: Sword Spirit Like Heaven, Returning Butterfly Immortal Transformation
"Ah—"
Lin Qingyu was wracked with a piercing pain, and she couldn’t help but writhe on the ground.
The agony was terrifying, as if her very soul was being gnawed away, and she couldn’t stop herself from screaming in pain.
Lin Qingyu curled into a ball, trembling uncontrollably and twitching as if having a seizure.
The Sword Soul Power she had gathered completely scattered. The energy from the Elixir also gradually dissipated, falling dormant.
The piercing pain then began to subside.
"Don’t circulate your Sword Soul Power, or you will only suffer more."
Just then, an incredibly cold voice spoke from right in front of her.
A chill ran down Lin Qingyu’s spine, freezing her to the core.
It was an unfamiliar voice.
And though the voice had appeared, she hadn’t sensed a thing.
Her heart instantly sank.
WHOOSH—
A Great Prohibition Talisman was cast, striking directly into Lin Qingyu’s Dantian.
Lin Qingyu’s power was instantly imprisoned.
TCH TCH—
Several more Shackling Prohibition Talismans were driven into her body, and Lin Qingyu completely lost all power to resist.
"The energy of the Life and Death Talisman in your body... who put it there? Where is that person now? Take me to him!"
the woman demanded icily.
Her voice was utterly indifferent.
It was an indifference that held a complete disregard for life.
Lin Qingyu sensed the pervasive, forbidden aura emanating from the woman and lamented inwardly, ’This person is so cautious. A single Great Prohibition Talisman was enough to restrain me, yet she insisted on adding so many other restrictions... A person like this is impossible to oppose!’
Sighing to herself, Lin Qingyu struggled to her feet and finally looked up at the young woman in the purple gauze dress before her.
The sight left her stunned. "Ruoxue Fairy? Senior Sister Ouyang Ruoxue of the Celestial Profound Sword Sect?"
Ouyang Ruoxue’s gaze was cold and emotionless. "I know you’re Lin Qingyu, but we are not friends. Lead the way quietly, and you’ll live. Deceive me or hide anything, and you’ll die."
Ouyang Ruoxue’s words made Lin Qingyu shudder. "Fine, I... I’ll lead the way. But it’s very dangerous there. The man’s name is Long Tianshu, and he’s from the Dragon Race. He..."
Lin Qingyu proceeded to explain most of the details.
A cold sneer appeared on Ouyang Ruoxue’s face as she thought, ’No wonder I couldn’t find you, you bastard. So you’ve been hiding your appearance and aura, disguised as a member of the Dragon Race named Long Tianshu.’
She didn’t reveal what she knew, nor was she particularly intimidated by this ’Guan Tianya’.
Ouyang Ruoxue knew Guan Tianya, and more importantly, she knew his fatal weakness.
Some of the trump cards she held couldn’t be activated at the Sword Soul Third Heaven Realm, but at the Peak of the Sword Spirit First Heaven Realm, she had just enough power to use them.
In her opinion, killing Guan Tianya with such a trump card wouldn’t be a major issue.
"Lead the way."
Ouyang Ruoxue’s tone grew even more frigid.
A bone-deep chill gripped Lin Qingyu’s heart. Her sense of danger was screaming, terrified that this glacial, indifferent woman would lop her head off with a single sword strike. She immediately began to lead the way with utmost obedience.
Soon, Lin Qingyu and Ouyang Ruoxue arrived outside the Forbidden Array.
WHOOSH—
Without a word, Ouyang Ruoxue unleashed her Cyan Moon Sword, channeling the Absolute Kill talent of her Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique to deliver a devastating blow.
BOOM—
The single strike instantly caused a hairline crack to appear on the Forbidden Array.
The massive impact shook the heavens and the earth. Inside the Forbidden Array, it felt as though a Level Eight earthquake had struck.
At that very moment, Ye Tianling was just lunging toward Lin Qingxi.
The ground trembled, throwing off his footing and causing his ’Absolute Kill’ strike to miss completely.
The Black Water Barrier Talisman also began to vibrate violently.
Meanwhile, Guan Tianya, clearly sensing the change in situation, also attacked the Black Water Barrier Talisman at nearly the same instant.
Ye Tianling abruptly reached out and restored Lin Qingxi’s beautiful gauze dress to its original state.
At the same time, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and sprayed it directly onto her dress. Instantly, Lin Qingxi’s beautiful white gauze dress was stained a vivid, bloody red.
Lin Qingxi noticed this. A flicker of regret crossed her face, but it was quickly replaced by a look of hope as she gazed outside the Forbidden Array.
CRACK—
The Black Water Barrier Talisman shattered.
Ye Tianling and Lin Qingxi were exposed.
Guan Tianya’s fiery gaze was locked on the patch of blood on Lin Qingxi’s lower abdomen, his expression terrifyingly grim.
"Dammit!"
he snarled.
Then, ignoring Ye Tianling and Lin Qingxi, he abruptly shot out of the Forbidden Array, a terrifying, blood-red Sword Soul coalescing around him.
Waves of a destructive Thunder Tribulation aura began to emanate from him.
"Ouyang Ruoxue! I ended up in this state because you and your master sabotaged my Tribulation! How dare you show your face here again? Did you think I wouldn’t be prepared?!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Guan Tianya roared.
As he spoke, his blood-red Sword Soul transformed into an endless storm of crimson thunderbolts that surged toward Ouyang Ruoxue.
"Sword Spirit Like Heaven, Returning Butterfly Immortal Transformation!"
Ouyang Ruoxue immediately unleashed a terrifyingly lethal trump card. The killing intent it produced was like a peerless abyss, instantly manifesting a black hole.
A beautiful, seven-colored butterfly fluttered within the abyss, continuously piercing through Guan Tianya’s blood-red Thunder Tribulation.
PUFF—
Suddenly, Ouyang Ruoxue’s aura vanished. Her immense battle power plummeted, and her realm, once comparable to Sword Void, instantly dropped back to the Sword Spirit First Heaven Realm.
At the same time, she coughed up a large mouthful of blood, becoming incredibly weak.
"The poison of the Thunder Tribulation... You... a month ago, you were only at the Sword Void First Transformation Realm—and now you’ve already recovered to the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm?!"
Ouyang Ruoxue exclaimed in shock.
Shock and disbelief were etched onto her icy, beautiful face.
"My sweet Ruoxue, did you miss your husband this much? Did you come to help me satisfy my needs?"
Ye Tianling said with a wide grin, his voice full of delight as he looked at Ouyang Ruoxue.
Judging by Ouyang Ruoxue’s capture of Lin Qingyu, Ye Tianling wasn’t stupid; he naturally knew she had seen through his disguise.
Ouyang Ruoxue shot Ye Tianling a glare as sharp as a sword before looking away, steeling herself for what was to come.
However, Guan Tianya’s blood-red Thunder Tribulation Power spread out like a celestial net, suddenly enveloping the entire area and trapping both Ouyang Ruoxue and Lin Qingyu within it.
"Excellent. Just when I was getting sleepy, someone delivers a pillow. Aren’t these perfect targets for Yin Yang Harmony?"
Guan Tianya ignored Ouyang Ruoxue, muttering to himself instead.
A savage and satisfied expression crossed his face, and his voice was sinister.
However, after he spoke, his body seemed to grow even older and more stooped.
His vitality even began to wane—the price he had paid for that previous attack must have been immense.
Under the spreading blood-red Thunder Tribulation Power, both Ouyang Ruoxue and Lin Qingyu lost all ability to resist.
Ouyang Ruoxue’s trump card was just that—a trump card, not her own intrinsic battle power.
Guan Tianya, on the other hand, was genuinely at the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm. By devouring Yang Qingyun and the others, his power had recovered and grown at a ferocious rate.
In comparison, Ouyang Ruoxue’s single strike had failed to take down Guan Tianya as she’d anticipated, and she naturally found herself in a dire situation.
Ye Tianling let out a sly laugh. "Old bastard Guan Tianya, I’m afraid you’ve got it all wrong. Ruoxue is my, Long Tianshu’s, dao companion. We’ve engaged in Yin Yang Harmony countless times already. You want to use her for Absorption? Forget about it!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Ruoxue’s eyes fixed on Ye Tianling with an even colder glare, but she didn’t refute his claim.
Guan Tianya faltered for a moment, then his gaze shifted to Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu’s face turned deathly pale. "Master Guan, stop! Qingxi’s master, Xiao Qingzhu—the Supreme Sword Master of the Celestial Sword Sect, Elder Qingzhu Sword Master—is on her way. I sent her a message the moment I escaped. You should flee!"
When Guan Tianya heard this, his expression turned exceptionally ugly, his features twisting into a savage snarl.
"In that case, I have even less time to waste."
As Guan Tianya spoke, he suddenly unleashed a blast of blood-red Thunder Tribulation Power at Ye Tianling.
It was so fast that Ye Tianling couldn’t even react.
