Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 911 - 907: Blinded by the Blade

He moved swiftly while pondering why the Heart-Shining Saber was able to catch up with him.

Had the Heart-Shining Saber detached from Hu Yuni’s palm? Like his Glazed Blade Scripture, was it capable of being wielded in mid-air?

His Glazed Blade Scripture was extremely mysterious, yet such a long blade could not be controlled that way.

Moreover, his spiritual power was already exceptionally strong; although Hu Yuni’s spirit was potent, it didn’t reach such a degree.

There must be something peculiar about this saber.

The Dragon Soaring Bell’s defense was formidable.

But intuition told him that even the Dragon Soaring Bell couldn’t block this saber; direct confrontation was inadvisable.

"Shoosh!"

Two Flying Knives emerged from his sleeves to meet the Heart-Shining Saber.

One Flying Knife was fast, the other slow, shooting at the Heart-Shining Saber from different angles.

The Heart-Shining Saber was remarkably fast, as were the two knives.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The sound of two clear chimes rang out as the two knives bounced back, yet the Heart-Shining Saber still headed towards him.

"Ding ding ding ding ding..."

After the two Flying Knives were repelled, they continued to tangle, the three blades creating a continuous sound akin to raindrops on banana leaves.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appeared behind Hu Yuni, delivering a palm strike.

With the Heavenly Dragon Introduction’s advancement, his Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm’s power increased further.

"Hmph." Hu Yuni snorted softly and responded with her own palm.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

As their palm forces collided, a raging wind howled around them like a roar.

Their clothes didn’t shift, yet their figures flashed continuously, with Chu Zhiyuan flickering and Hu Yuni doing likewise.

Both fought with speed matching speed.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

As their palms collided, the Flying Knives also clashed against the Heart-Shining Saber.

The clear rumbles blended with a thunderous roar, continuing ceaselessly.

Chu Zhiyuan originally intended to force Hu Yuni to lose focus, unable to attend to the Heart-Shining Saber.

But Hu Yuni, like him, could handle Dual Use, even more.

He shook his head in astonishment.

No wonder she was one of the top disciples of Star-picking Cliff, truly a genius among geniuses, not to be underestimated.

Two more Flying Knives emerged from his sleeves, light as nothing, hovering like two ice shards over his head.

They seemed alive, eyeing Hu Yuni menacingly.

Hu Yuni’s expression changed slightly as she retreated a step.

She felt as if being watched by two fierce Demon Beasts.

Chu Zhiyuan also took a step back, shaking his head and saying, "Miss Hu, why must we force each other to such extremes? Why not both retreat a step?"

Once he collected more top-tier Demon Crystals and advanced the Heavenly Dragon Introduction further, he would then have hope to deal with Hu Yuni.

But now it was somewhat difficult.

Her defense was too strong, akin to him possessing the Dragon Soaring Bell.

Her Starlight Body Refining gave her skin a softness that had refined to be impenetrable; his sword couldn’t pierce it.

At present, the only way to harm her with the Flying Knives was the eyes.

Striking any other spot was useless.

She would soon realize this.

The Flying Knives were only there to scare her, to see if she could be intimidated.

"Retreat a step?" Hu Yuni’s eyes wandered over his face, seemingly to see through him.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Consider it as if you haven’t seen me, and I haven’t seen you; each minding our own business."

Hu Yuni chuckled lightly, "Would you allow yourself free passage in the Demon Realm?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Isn’t hunting Demon Clan experts something you’d like? Concerned about their safety?"

"Whether they live or perish has nothing to do with me!" Hu Yuni shook her head with a smile.

"Miss Hu, you kill me just to cultivate in the Demon Abyss for ten years?"

Chu Zhiyuan discerned her character; indifferent to Demon Clan experts, their lives lost without a blink.

"Exactly!"

"Your Star-picking Cliff cultivation method doesn’t rely on the Demon Abyss, entering the Demon Abyss could make one a Great Heavenly Demon?" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Is this just a rumor?"

Hu Yuni pursed her crimson lips, "You don’t understand what a place the Demon Abyss truly is!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "No matter how powerful the Demon Abyss, isn’t it different from the Power of Stars? Can it be converted into the Power of Stars?"

"Indeed," Hu Yuni snorted, "The Demon Abyss is the Origin of all power!"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Claiming that ten years of cultivation can reach the Great Heavenly Demon stage is too exaggerated."

He judged the Demon Abyss to be similar to the Spiritual Abyss.

He had been practicing the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record with slow progress.

The Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record is mysterious, with astonishing power, possessing unbelievable abilities.

Yet under the relentless infusion of Spiritual Abyss power, its progress remained slow.

Completing it in ten years is impossible.

He understood that the Spiritual Abyss wasn’t omnipotent.

The notion of ascending to Great Heavenly Demon with ten years in the Demon Abyss was pure fantasy.

Hu Yuni snorted, "All nine Great Heavenly Demons achieved their status through ten years of cultivation in the Demon Abyss!"

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "That’s because they made a great effort and had perfected their cultivation to the extreme; entering the Demon Abyss for ten more years, pushing beyond their limits."

"Exactly, that’s it." Hu Yuni said calmly, "I intend to make use of the ten years of Demon Abyss cultivation time; continue to cultivate to the point of no advancement, then enter to instantly become a Great Heavenly Demon."

"Are you really capable of killing me?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Don’t end up losing your own life while failing to claim the bounty."

"There’s no escape for you." Hu Yuni laughed softly, "Delaying won’t help you."

"Alas..." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "What a waste of your lovely appearance."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

As the two conversed, the Heart-Shining Saber and the two Flying Knives continued to clash.

Although the Heart-Shining Saber could repel the Flying Knives, when striking them it itself was affected, slowing or changing direction.

It was helpless to shoot toward Chu Zhiyuan.

She already understood that the Heart-Shining Saber alone was unable to kill Chu Zhiyuan.

Besides those two knives, there were two more above his head still inactive; otherwise, the Heart-Shining Saber might be struck down.

Chu Zhiyuan released two more Flying Knives from his sleeves.

This time, these two knives looked different from earlier, now turning black.

Hu Yuni frowned.

She felt these two black knives were more dangerous, threatening her life.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There’s no need to say more, let’s fight to the death then."

"Shoosh!"

"Shoosh!"

...

Four Flying Knives divided into two groups, two shooting toward the Heart-Shining Saber, two aiming at Hu Yuni.

He sealed with his hands, utilizing the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, forming a golden net to encompass her as she dodged.

Hu Yuni dashed about, evading both the Flying Knives and the golden net.

The golden net floated in the air, slowly merging with the one forming behind it.

Strands of gold nets condensed and merged into the previous, eventually forming a golden rope.

As the golden nets coalesced, the golden rope thickened, shortened, forming into a Flying Knife shape.

Its speed suddenly increased, attacking Hu Yuni alongside the two black Flying Knives.

Hu Yuni snorted, feeling wary of the peculiar golden knife, choosing caution over recklessness.

Despite this, when it drew near, it suddenly transformed into a blaze of golden light.

The golden light burst forth with incredible speed due to the close proximity, Hu Yuni could only strike back with her palm force.

The golden light transformed into a golden net, enveloping her jade palm, then encompassing her body and instantly contracted within her skin.

"You..." Hu Yuni’s beautiful face fell, her movements slowed.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

Although slowed, she still precisely struck the Flying Knife, preventing it from hitting her eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "You can’t escape now."

Unexpectedly, the Great Demon Suppressing Seal worked so well at the critical moment, truly worth the name of Demon Suppression Technique.

"Courting death!" Hu Yuni suddenly flashed behind the Heart-Shining Saber.

Her jade hand extended, and the Heart-Shining Saber swiftly landed in her palm.

She flashed, personally wielding the Heart-Shining Saber, her movement technique grew even faster at this moment.

The golden net surfaced upon her skin, shining brighter, yet couldn’t hinder her speed.

She darted like a shaft of golden light at Chu Zhiyuan, closing in instantly.

Chu Zhiyuan turned to evade while wielding the Swift Light Sword.

The Heart-Shining Saber grazed the tip of his nose, chilling air penetrating his nostrils and jolting his mind.

The Swift Light Sword’s tip, almost imperceptibly, sliced across Hu Yuni’s eyes.

"Ah!" Hu Yuni screamed, her figure accelerating again, darting into the distance.

Chu Zhiyuan stood still, gently flicking the Blood Pearl from the sword’s tip.

Hu Yuni had vanished completely.

With Super Sense, he observed her pupils had been slashed by the Swift Light Sword, leaving her blind.
