Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 195 - 187 Slave Tao Array Tao, My Sword Endures!
"Look, look, the sky is full of flying Ferocious Beasts!"
"Iron-beak Cranes, Green Wind Rocs, Golden Arrow Gryphons—the ’Little Bird King’ has also arrived."
"This is truly like piercing through the heavens of Pengcheng..."
Everyone widened their eyes, amazed at how seriously Qinglu Taoist Temple was treating this matter.
Two thousand black-armored cavalry, three thousand Vine-armored Infantry.
The Iron Beaked Crane Beast Group, the Green Wind Roc Ten Thousand Beast Swarm, the Golden Arrow Gryphon Beast Group.
More than ten disciples from Qinglu Taoist Temple.
The Iron Beaked Crane Beast Group alone possessed the power to annihilate a small sect.
Any one of these forces, if dispatched, could instantly erase Lichun House, wipe out Pingkang Square, or even the outer districts of Pengcheng!
Not to mention when all six forces acted together—it was simply earth-shattering, capable of turning mountains and rivers upside down.
"Sir, I—," the madam of Lichun House struggled to approach, speaking bitterly to the Pengcheng General.
BANG!
The madam of Lichun House instantly flew backward, crashing through two walls, and eventually collapsed into a clearwater pond on the first floor, dyeing the water red, barely clinging to life.
Zhang Baicun had only just slowly retracted his right hand. His gaze fixed on the screaming courtesans, who immediately stopped their shrieking, clamping their mouths shut as if their throats were being gripped.
The hall fell into utter silence, everyone in awe of Zhang Baicun.
Just as Zhang Baicun asserted his dominance, Hong Yuan made his move!
"Sword Tao Sub-Divine Power, Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow!"
Hong Yuan’s True Essence poured into the Heavenly River Sword. The sword greedily consumed Sword Origin, and a portion of a Sword Charm emerged on its body.
Pushing off with his feet, buildings began to collapse around him, but Hong Yuan soared into the sky. He transformed into a long rainbow, leaving the deserted marketplace far behind.
The original killing move, Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow, could already pursue the Phoenix Feather Butterfly King of Ten Thousand Beasts. Now, having reached the Sub-Divine Power level, it was as fast as lightning!
A resonant blue glow flashed across the sky. Before anyone could react, Hong Yuan had already crossed through the ranks of soldiers and beasts. He reached Zhang Baicun in an instant, his sword leaping out like a dragon!
"I can’t even react—," Zhang Baicun’s pupils contracted as he looked to his left.
Beside Zhang Baicun, Elder Li Dongyao suppressed the unease in his heart. He fiercely swung his Longsword, which blazed like a raging fire, in a desperate defense.
Sword Killing Move, Sword Flame Flash!
The moment their attacks met, a thunderous noise erupted, resonating between heaven and earth.
The next moment, blood trickled from the corner of Li Dongyao’s mouth, and his figure faltered half a step back. His mount, the Golden Arrow Gryphon Thousand Beast King, turned to mud in an instant!
As both were mid-level fifth-rank Sword Cultivators, Hong Yuan easily overpowered Li Dongyao.
If Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow hadn’t favored speed over killing power, Li Dongyao might have met his end right there.
However, thanks to Li Dongyao’s intervention, Zhang Baicun barely managed to catch his breath.
Zhang Baicun endured the lacerations from various Sword Intents and Sword Rays as he hastily fled the terrifying battlefield.
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
The sword hummed ceaselessly as waves of white light expanded.
The wind howled, the earth collapsed, and buildings crumbled.
Screams of terror, cries, and pleas for help echoed ceaselessly.
Impossible, how has this ’Blood Demon Sword’ Li Jianhe become so powerful!? Zhang Baicun was greatly shocked. Not good, Elder Li can’t hold on much longer.
Zhang Baicun promptly spurred the three Beast Swarms into action, commanding the Black Armored Cavalry and the Vine-armored Infantry to form battle formations.
The Green Wind Roc Beast King and Golden Arrow Gryphon Beast King joined the battlefield directly. They assisted Li Dongyao, steadily alleviating Hong Yuan’s offensive pressure.
Worthy of being an Elder from a Holy Land. The depth of his foundation far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. He can actually contend with me, even fighting with no regard for his own life, Hong Yuan wielded his Longsword, continuing to unleash Sword Qi.
At this moment, Hong Yuan moved with ease, almost strolling through the fray. He freely brandished his Sword Qi and Sword Momentum with an air of utter nonchalance and elegance.
Yet, to Zhang Baicun, Li Zihai, and the other disciples, the pressure he exuded was terrifying, like mortals facing a tsunami.
What kind of monster is this? When has Phoenix Creek Sect produced such an exceptionally talented Sword Cultivator? I was so close, just a bit more, and I would have been dead! Zhang Baicun screamed frantically in his heart, cursing loudly, Assassinations again and again! What have us Martial Artists of the Slave Tao done to offend you all? Damn it!
Monster, a monster! This Blood Demon Sword’s strength is on par with Brother Zixing! No, not only that, he’s even faster than Brother Zixing!!! Li Zihai’s eyes widened in shock, stunned by the conclusion he had reached.
Amidst the rapidly changing storm, the Black Armored Cavalry and Vine-armored Infantry armies successfully formed their battle formations.
Blood Qi surged out from the soldiers’ bodies, converging toward the center of the army, forming a majestic wave of blood energy.
This majestic blood energy, like an inverted sea of blood, shot straight into the clouds, turning the sky over Pengcheng’s outer city blood-red.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Li Zihai, acting as a deputy general, swiftly controlled this cloud-soaring blood energy. He fired a barrage of blood-colored light waves at Hong Yuan, each with the power of a fifth-rank technique.
In an instant, multiple beams of light burst forth, connecting heaven and earth.
With all six forces from Qinglu Taoist Temple acting in concert, Hong Yuan gradually fell into a disadvantage. The tide of battle began to turn in Qinglu Taoist Temple’s favor.
"Li Jianhe, if you surrender now, I can assure your soul returns through the Gate of Life and Death. Your True Essence must be running low, right? If you don’t give yourself up... Hmph!" Li Dongyao, his anger flaring, threatened.
The most significant factor restricting a Martial Artist’s combat endurance is their True Essence reserves. Losing True Essence is like a car without gasoline or an electrical appliance without power. The consequences are self-evident.
Hong Yuan remained silent, continuing to evade using the Sub-Divine Power, Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow.
Indeed, with the consecutive use of the Sub-Divine Power, Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow, his internal True Essence was rapidly depleting with every moment. Yet, he still appeared unruffled, his heart as steady as could be.
It seems I need to elevate both ’Sword Intent Transforming into Brilliance’ and the killing move ’Sword Qi Thunder Sound’ to the Sub-Divine Power level to better dominate the battlefield, Hong Yuan thought. But do you think my True Essence is about to run out? The Sword Tao combat system I painstakingly built isn’t for nothing.
Sword Killing Move, Sword Origin Water Lotus!
Within Hong Yuan’s Sea of True Essence, a blue water lotus with sword-blade-like petals blossomed. One of the sword-blade petals began to dissolve, turning into majestic Sword Origin and raising the level of his Sea of True Essence. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
In a single breath, his Sea of True Essence was brimming once more.
The Sword Origin Water Lotus’s remaining eight sword-like petals shone brightly, awaiting Hong Yuan’s command.
"Impossible!" Li Dongyao shrieked in disbelief, looking at Hong Yuan, whose Sword Momentum surged anew. "How can someone grow stronger as they fight? Especially a Sword Cultivator, known for their explosive power!?"
Delay can lead to unexpected changes, Hong Yuan glanced at Li Zihai and Zhang Baicun, making a decision. I can’t let these two who harmed Nine Nether escape.
HUMMM...
The Heavenly River Sword suddenly emitted a joyous sword hum. A complete and mysterious Divine Power Sword Charm flew out from Hong Yuan’s Aperture, swirling onto the Heavenly River Sword.
An overwhelming sense of terror spread through the area. Everyone’s hearts pounded with fear, as if a great catastrophe was imminent.
Can it be? I’m actually being hunted by a Prodigy-level Sword Cultivator? You really think highly of me... Zhang Baicun’s gaze turned hollow, his legs weak as if all his strength had been drained away.
It’s fake, it has to be fake! Li Zihai, seemingly driven to madness, ignored that many of his soldiers were dying from exhaustion and furiously launched waves of light attacks at Hong Yuan.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Hong Yuan tossed the Heavenly River Sword towards the heavens and brought his hands together in a seal.
"Sword Tao Divine Power, Heavenly River Sword Cascades!"
