Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1047 - 1043: Annihilation

"Retreat!"

Hu Yuni suddenly shouted in a charming voice.

The experts of Star-picking Cliff, who were in fierce battle, experienced a jolt of energy, and their sword light suddenly surged.

It was difficult for them to kill the experts of Ghost Bone Sect, but retreating wasn’t hard.

They covered for each other, floating back as they retreated.

The experts of Ghost Bone Sect had no intention of stopping them, allowing them to withdraw from the valley.

Hu Yuni called out, "Brother Zhuang, you retreat first!"

She wielded a deep blue sword aura, the blue light enveloping herself and the elder.

"Junior Sister Hu..."

"Don’t worry about me!"

"Alright."

The experts of Star-picking Cliff retreated into the forest, gradually moving away.

Hu Yuni also fought and retreated consecutively, withdrawing from the valley and retreating to the mountain peak.

The elder’s reddish-brown face grew even more somber, as he waved his hands to fend off the deep blue sword aura.

The purple robe had splits at the shoulder and waist.

Hu Yuni laughed lightly, "Your Ghost Bone Sect has gotten stronger."

"Our Ghost Bone Sect will no longer be at your Star-picking Cliff’s mercy!"

"We couldn’t destroy you today, but next time it won’t just be our Star-picking Cliff; other sects will join forces. Can you withstand that?"

The elder’s eyes were burning, sneering continuously, showing disdain and pride: "Then just wait and see!"

Hu Yuni also sneered repeatedly, her bright eyes shining, thinking rapidly.

The strength of these Ghost Bone Sect experts had made her grow quickly vigilant.

If one altar has grown stronger, then the other nine altars may also have strengthened.

The Ghost Bone Sect was no longer a small dish, becoming a tough bone.

If the sect did not take it seriously and continued to disregard, it would surely suffer a big loss.

She sighed inwardly, if it weren’t for the strong support of Sun Changyue this time, their group would have suffered a great loss.

Other groups within the sect might have already been thwarted.

The immediate task at hand is first to find out the source of their strength, and second to find a way to remedy it.

And also to destroy this West Two Altars. Although it’s difficult, the task must be completed well.

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly dimmed, her pupils turning deep and jet black.

All the brightness converged into a small point at the center.

A point of light like a needle.

Her form suddenly became hazy, and in the next moment appeared behind the elder, the black sword aura already piercing through the elder’s heart.

The elder paused, turned his head incredulously to look at her, then looked down at his heart.

A gap in the clothes, with a hole in the heart area, as if viewing the trees on the other side through a pipeline.

His heart had vanished, as if eaten by a beast or dissolved by an invisible force.

Hu Yuni staggered a step, using the longsword to support herself from falling.

The sword aura had disappeared, and the longsword was dim and dull.

With a white veil obscuring her face, her expression was unclear, but her eyes were dim, and a pallor clouded between her brows.

"You..." the elder pointed at her, his eyes glowing with disbelief.

His right palm shone with white light, growing brighter and brighter, as if the disappearance of his heart did not affect his power flow.

Hu Yuni bit her lip, watching the right palm shoot towards her, wanting to summon power but finding the building empty, unable to dodge.

At that moment, a wisp of light spun from his neck.

The speed of the right palm slowed significantly, and Hu Yuni turned aside, watching his head roll off.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Leng Tieya who stepped forward: "Thank you, Mr. Sun."

Leng Tieya waved his hand: "Can you still fight?"

"Need to wait a moment," Hu Yuni said, "What about the other three?"

"Resolved," Leng Tieya said, "It was also a tough battle, used strategy."

Leading the three elders to an uninhabited place, Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Liezhao joined forces, and it wasn’t hard to take care of those three elders.

"Admirable," Hu Yuni praised.

Using the secret technique to kill this elder, only then did she know how troublesome he was.

This elder was like this, and the other three were certainly no weaker.

Sun Changyue’s swordsmanship was indeed beyond imagination, much stronger than she had imagined.

Leng Tieya said, "Shall we retreat?"

Hu Yuni replied, "Having dealt with those four, the rest are easier to handle."

Leng Tieya looked towards the opposite valley, frowned, and said, "I feel this valley is increasingly perilous, better to lure them out."

Hu Yuni quickly caught on: "There’s a self-destructive mechanism?"

"These Ghost Bone Sect disciples all have the Jade and Stone Burning technique, don’t they?"

"Naturally, but there are signs before they trigger it, so it can be avoided."

"One needs a movement technique fast enough."

"Our movement technique from Star-picking Cliff is adequate, they won’t succeed."

"I’ll go and try," Leng Tieya said, "Miss Hu, you take a breather."

"Let the senior brothers come over and join us."

Leng Tieya smiled, and with a swift movement, transformed into a wisp of smoke that drifted towards the valley, soon appearing within the valley and entering a group of Ghost Bone Sect experts.

This group of nine experts didn’t survive, the Sword Aura lightly swept across them, and nine heads rolled.

From afar, a middle-aged expert from the Ghost Bone Sect said in a deep voice, "This guy is too arrogant, who can kill him?!"

"Let me!"

"I’ll do it!"

"Count me in!"

...

"All together!" That middle-aged man from the Ghost Bone Sect shouted decisively.

As his voice fell, his head rolled off his body.

Leng Tieya swept past him, and the Sword Aura grazed his neck.

He had no ability to resist.

"Ah—!"

"Kill—!"

...

Groups of Ghost Bone Sect experts encircled, rushing towards Leng Tieya.

But before they reached him, they suddenly emitted a brilliant light.

Within the light, there were faint phantom images of Ghost Bone Flowers.

Over twenty Ghost Bone Flowers merged into one, becoming pure and solid, real beyond question.

The massive Ghost Bone Flower, as tall as a person, floated towards Leng Tieya.

He sensed the danger, intending to dodge away.

But the Ghost Bone Flower suddenly accelerated, incredibly fast, catching up with him in an instant.

The Sword Aura soared, then was swallowed by the Ghost Bone Flower, disappearing without a trace.

Hu Yuni widened her bright eyes, then looked around beside her in amazement.

Leng Tieya had already appeared before her, wiping his forehead: "That was close."

"This..." Hu Yuni let out a breath of relief, then furrowed her brows: "A new method."

That sword vanished upon contact with the Ghost Bone Flower, if it were the sword’s master, it might be the same.

Leng Tieya said, "Earlier it was hiding its clumsiness."

"If it were Brother Zhuang and them, they wouldn’t escape."

"Finally understood their essence," Leng Tieya said, "With such methods, they should have used them earlier."

According to the Super Sensing Illumination, after this Ghost Bone Flower formed, they suddenly became weak.

He estimated they couldn’t form another such Ghost Bone Flower.

This meant they were no longer a threat.

Leng Tieya sighed, "I can continue to act, but I’m without a sword now."

Hu Yuni pulled out a bright longsword from her sleeve and handed it to him: "Use this."

Leng Tieya took it, glancing at the sword.

The Sword seemed like fish scales, with subtle patterns faintly visible, the Sword light as if nothing.

"This is the Flying Scale Sword," Hu Yuni said, "I obtained it through a lucky encounter, never used it."

Leng Tieya laughed, "I’ll borrow it for now and return it later."

Hu Yuni gave him a sideways glance, "What’s the point of returning it, it’s yours."

"Alright then."

Leng Tieya accepted it calmly.

Saving her life indeed had its benefits, he knew she had hidden treasures.

This would also aid in entering the Star-picking Cliff, earning their trust, and gaining higher-level secrets and information.

"Ding..."

He flicked his fingers, making the Sword vibrate and emit a dragon-like clear sound.

"Good sword!" Leng Tieya exclaimed.

He faintly sensed the Sword possessed spiritual essence, albeit weak.

But having it or not was a fundamental difference.

With spiritual essence, it can be refined and its spiritual essence enhanced.

Using Swordsmanship then becomes intuitive, aligning with oneself, unleashing greater power.

Hu Yuni called out, "Brother Zhuang, let’s proceed, wipe them out."

"All right!"

Replying, Star-picking Cliff experts emerged from the forest, flooding into the valley.

Leng Tieya held the Sword across his chest, watching them seize the advantage while the Ghost Bone Sect experts were weakened in the valley.

Hu Yuni’s eyes brightened again, recovering her breath, unsheathing her sword, "I’m going down."

"Miss Hu, please, I’ll catch my breath for a moment, that was intense just now."

"Alright."

Hu Yuni gracefully skimmed the treetops, diving into the valley, where the blue glow passed, severing heads.

Leng Tieya intercepted the ones that slipped away, those who escaped the valley were all obliterated by him.

An hour later, all Ghost Bone Sect disciples in the valley were eradicated.

While beginning to search the Ghost Bone Sect, suddenly a Star-picking Cliff expert raised his voice, "Junior Sister Hu, look here."

Hu Yuni was speaking with Leng Tieya, upon hearing this she went with him to a cave entrance.
