Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 30: Talent Lets You Be This Willful!

Jin Zhifu said, "That little bastard’s father, Ye Fengyang, was killed by Ye Cangqian. Ye Cangqian’s Fiery Flame Sword Body is an Acquired Sword Body Talent. He laid the foundation for it by drawing out Ye Fengyang’s Life Essence Blood to comprehend Dao Marks. By combining that with numerous Treasure Medicines and his own bloodline, he was finally able to awaken the Acquired Fiery Flame Sword Body."

"Ultimately, the Fiery Flame Sword Body is just a counterfeit of the Fiery Sun Sword Body. If a counterfeit ’Fiery Sun Sword Body’ is already so invincible, how insane must the real Fiery Sun Sword Body Talent be?"

"For that little bastard Ye Tianling to suddenly become so heaven-defying by burning his Fiery Sun Sword Body Talent is naturally terrifying."

"Unfortunately, now that he’s burned it, it will be very difficult for us to seize his Lifebound Essence Blood for Dao Mark comprehension."

Ye Tianfan was startled. "So that’s how it is. But if we kill him, won’t Ye Cangqian... won’t he be displeased? Didn’t he let the little bastard live so his bloodline could awaken, allowing him to continue studying the Fiery Sun Sword Body Bloodline?"

Jin Zhifu said, "It won’t come to that. I know Ye Cangqian. He’s far too proud. Besides, he expended a vast amount of resources to comprehend the Dao Marks of the Fiery Sun Sword Body. He doesn’t believe anyone else could accomplish such a difficult feat. What’s more, Ye Tianling suffers from an Innate Deficiency—that’s the most fatal flaw! Awaken an incomplete Bloodline Talent? It’s practically impossible. Your family is small, so you don’t understand these things, but he does. He let the little bastard live because he thought the boy still had value—for example, as bait for any of his father’s relatives who might still be alive. If those people came looking for Ye Fengyang or Ye Tianling, Ye Cangqian would naturally find out. Then he could capture them and continue drawing out their Life Essence Blood for Dao Mark comprehension."

Ye Tianfan had a sudden realization. "Then if we make a move, aren’t we ruining Ye Cangqian’s plans?"

Jin Zhifu said, "No. Ye Cangqian has already risen to power. The fact that no one cared when the little bastard was reduced to crippling his own Talent proves that all of Ye Fengyang’s relatives must be dead."

Ye Tianfan sighed wistfully. "Zhifu, you’re so clever. You know everything."

Jin Zhifu smiled faintly. "That’s because of my high standing. If you were still relying on a minor power like the Qingyang Town Ye Race, you would never reach your current heights in your entire life. Take that little bastard for example. Even with his Innate Deficiency, someone with his Talent could have entered any Sect for cultivation. While he certainly couldn’t compare to that ’Child of Celestial Mandate,’ Ye Cangqian, he would still be considered a very fine genius."

Hearing this, a trace of jealousy stirred in Ye Tianfan’s heart.

As the two conversed, they had no idea that Ye Tianling’s Soul Sensing Ability had already reached them, allowing him to hear every single word.

He hadn’t used the Black Feather Escape Talisman to flee. Instead, after rushing ahead, he used the cover of the trees to quietly double back, closing much of the distance between himself and Ye Tianfan and Jin Zhifu.

Jin Zhifu and Ye Tianfan were no longer in a hurry to give chase, as Jin Zhifu was supremely confident in her Bloodline Talent’s scent-tracking Ability.

’Ye Cangqian...’

Ye Tianling had long known of this vendetta against his father. Hearing it confirmed again, the fury in his heart burned even hotter.

After consuming two Small Peiyuan Pills, Ye Tianling’s Dragon Blood burned away their medicinal properties, purifying the essence and strengthening the foundation of the Dragon Blood itself.

In this way, a portion of the Energy that had been devoured by the Fiery Sun Sword was gradually replenished.

’Dugu Sword Intent!’

At a critical moment in their conversation, Ye Tianling suddenly unleashed his Dugu Sword Intent once more.

HMMMM—

This time, the Sword Intent attack was once again blocked by an azure light, leaving Jin Zhifu and Ye Tianfan almost completely unaffected.

Just then, Jin Zhifu’s eyes flashed as she abruptly thrust out a beam of Ink Jade Sword Light.

"I’ve been waiting for you, little bastard. Die!"

Jin Zhifu had finally made her move. It was clear that while she and Ye Tianfan had seemed to be conversing with their guards down, they had in fact remained highly vigilant, ready to defend against Ye Tianling’s schemes and counterattack at a moment’s notice!

Jin Zhifu’s pretty face was a mask of cold severity, a hint of ruthless cruelty now fully exposed.

Her eyes even held a trace of relief—clearly, she believed this single strike would be more than enough to kill Ye Tianling.

Ye Tianling was shocked. ’My third Dugu Sword Intent attack didn’t harm them at all!’

The azure light that had erupted from between their brows was clearly much stronger this time. Although the protective light shattered, it didn’t explode or even create a shockwave.

At the same time, Ye Tianling felt a bone-chilling coldness seep into his Soul, as if he’d been plunged into a glacial cavern.

He couldn’t help but shiver.

The beam of Ink Jade Sword Light, containing a terrifying Sword Intent, struck Ye Tianling in the chest in an instant.

The attack was too fast. Even by continuously using his Wave-Riding Light Step and Divine Hundred Transformations Body Technique, Ye Tianling still failed to dodge it.

The strike possessed a locking Ability that had completely homed in on Ye Tianling’s body.

PFFT—

Ye Tianling’s entire body shuddered. The Dragon Blood within him instantly surged, its circulation accelerating by nearly ten times.

His circulating True Qi and the Energy of his Dragon Blood all converged, surging toward his chest to block the sword.

But even so, Ye Tianling still coughed up a mouthful of blood, as though he’d been struck by a terrifying force.

Ye Tianling’s body was sent flying backward. He could even hear the sound of his own ribs cracking.

After flying back more than thirty meters, Ye Tianling dropped to the ground and steadied himself.

His mouth was full of blood. He felt as if the sword had nearly pierced straight through his chest, and his internal organs burned with a searing pain.

The sword strike not only carried immense impact and a Soul-shaking force, but also an incomparably terrifying Sword Essence Power.

That Sword Essence Power had already permeated his body and was now running rampant within him.

"You overestimate yourself! Little bastard, how are you not dead yet?!"

Jin Zhifu sneered.

Ye Tianling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned savagely. "Die? First, I’ll capture you, then I’ll torture and abuse you to death!"

Ye Tianfan flew into a rage. "You little bastard! You’re at death’s door and you still dare to run your mouth!"

Ye Tianling’s eyes were chillingly severe. Suddenly, rings of blood-red light began to emanate from his body, growing exceptionally fierce.

"You’re fucking burning your Talent again?! You... you can still burn it again, even now? What the fuck!"

Ye Tianfan gasped, stumbling back three steps.

Even Jin Zhifu was stunned for a moment, her planned series of killing blows momentarily halting.

Ye Tianling circulated his Dragon Blood using the Nine Yang Divine Skill. The Dragon Blood, blazing like fire, quickly burned away and refined the rampaging Sword Essence Power. The True Qi in his body surged wildly, immediately growing much more potent.

At the same time, Ye Tianling began to activate the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, preparing to use Jin Zhifu’s own attack to kill Ye Tianfan.

"That’s right! When you have Talent like mine, you can be this reckless, burning it whenever you please! Go on, you wretched pair, if you have the guts, then attack! I’m not running anymore!"

Ye Tianling spoke word by word, his eyes burning as if filled with bloody flames.

"If you want to die, then I’ll grant your wish! It’s useless no matter how many times you burn your Talent—your Realm is too low! In my eyes, you’re still just a lowly aboriginal, an ant!"

Jin Zhifu sneered. At the same time, a manifestation of Essence Blood Power suddenly appeared between her eyebrows.

The Essence Blood exploded, and in that instant, her aura seemed to step into an unprecedented Realm.

It was the Realm of Sword Heart Clarity!
