Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 377 - 373: Fierce Battle, Xia Feng’s Sword Qi

Chapter 377: Chapter 373: Fierce Battle, Xia Feng’s Sword Qi

This hint of disdain directly pierced the fragile heart of Dongfang Baiyu.

If it weren’t for Xia Feng borrowing the power of the Heaven-Burying Sword, an Ancient Divine Artifact, in the Sword Spirit Cave to directly chop off his usual Divine Artifact, would he be using a mere Spiritual Artifact in front of so many people?

The face of the Dongfang Clan was practically thrown away by him.

His chest heaved continuously, as if he was enraged.

All he could think about was catching Xia Feng later and definitely taking the sword-shaped Ancient Divine Artifact from his hand to compensate for the pain of his broken sword.

As for handing over the Ancient Divine Artifact to the Clan Leader after leaving the Secret Realm, Dongfang Baiyu seemed foolish, instinctively ignoring such concerns.

His teeth slightly trembled due to excessive excitement, and his handsome face twisted with jealousy and ferocity.

"You can only show off your eloquence for now."

His gaze was cold, and if his gaze on Xia Tianming had substance, it would have lashed him a thousand times over.

"Rest assured, I will kill you slowly, little by little, so you can remember the days in the Fourth Branch dungeon of the Dongfang Clan."

Xia Tianming’s expression turned cold as well, the throbbing pain from his lower back and abdomen reminding him of the wound in his Dantian.

The persistent dull pain in his body reminded him of the countdown to his Secret Technique.

And opposite him, Dongfang Baiyu was still trying to provoke him in this way, attempting to make him lose his composure, causing more Divine Power to gush from his wound.

He naturally couldn’t fall for Dongfang Baiyu’s ploy.

A pitch-black vortex rose from his abdomen, the rich Great Dao of Space reverberating across the sky.

Dongfang Baiyu’s eyes gleamed with greed and fervor. Others might not know, but he knew Xia Tianming and Xia Feng’s origins clearly.

They both hailed from the Lower Realm, where could they have had such good cultivation conditions and talent to break through so endlessly fast?

These Ancient Divine Artifacts must have nourished them.

If only Dongfang Baiyu could get these Ancient Divine Artifacts into his hands...

As he pondered the abilities of the Ancient Divine Artifacts and schemed on attacking Xia Tianming, Xia Tianming moved first.

The Void Cauldron continuously emanated layers of black ripples, slashing towards Xia Tianming like a guillotine.

The black ripples had no presence while on the Void Cauldron; only after departing from it did they take the form the Great Dao of Space demanded.

The ever-dismantling and reassembling space, along with the faint tremors coming from within, made Dongfang Baiyu unable to accept this Spatial Slash head-on.

With a flicker, he seemed to vanish without a trace.

Xia Tianming’s expression suddenly turned vigilant. Just like now, he almost didn’t sense where Dongfang Baiyu had emerged from to strike him with a sword.

If it weren’t for Dongfang Baiyu wanting to savor the moment of victory, if it weren’t for him deliberately revealing his movements.

Xia Tianming would still be like a headless fly, searching all over for the culprit.

After Dongfang Baiyu concealed himself, the injured Xia Tianming naturally became more coveted by the surrounding Loose Cultivators.

Even though Dongfang Baiyu, who could reappear at any moment unknown, and Xia Tianming were entangled in battle, some were still unwilling to miss the opportunity to take a piece of the pie.

If they couldn’t obtain the Ancient Divine Artifact, some other rewards would suffice.

While Xia Tianming was still searching for him, a bizarre water ripple briefly trembled once.

Taking advantage of Xia Tianming’s distraction, Dongfang Baiyu directly plunged the Spirit Sword in his hand into Xia Tianming’s scapula.

There was a momentary freeze among those nearby, followed by Xia Tianming’s instant counterattack.

The two became rapidly entangled in battle with one Cauldron and one sword, fighting fiercely without a clear winner.

Those with slightly lower cultivation dared not approach the area to watch the battle between the two, for the continuous void cracks from the Void Cauldron during combat could easily harm these Loose Cultivators.

Xia Tianming couldn’t worry about any of this; he was extremely anxious, time was running out.

But now, being entangled with Dongfang Baiyu, although protected by an Ancient Divine Artifact, Dongfang Baiyu couldn’t do much to him for the moment.

Dongfang Baiyu’s cultivation realm was nearly a tier higher than his, even higher than his after using the Secret Technique.

The Void Secret Technique was gradually weakening over time, causing Xia Tianming’s attacks to become more frequent and uneasy.

In Dongfang Baiyu’s eyes flashed a bloody killing intent, as if he was about to ruthlessly strike down Xia Tianming.

Suddenly, an overwhelming Sword Intent shot from the mountain Xia Tianming was guarding straight into the sky. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Those who had witnessed the famed Secret Treasure knew this meant Xia Feng had woken up, and it was likely his cultivation had advanced significantly.

After all, when the Sword Spirit was born before, the Sword Qi shooting into the sky wasn’t this high, so no one dared to underestimate this Sword Qi, fearing the Sword Spirit might be up to something again.

The ice shards caused by the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal near the Colorless Divine Vein remained scattered on the ground, untouched.

Dongfang Baiyu’s expression turned more hideous, so dark it seemed it would start dripping water.

In his eyes, all of this originally should have been his, but Xia Feng snatched it away.

The surrounding Loose Cultivators kept backing away; when facing Xia Tianming earlier, they dared to fight against him, even though he used a Secret Technique, they dared to surround him and prevent him from escaping.

But Xia Feng...

He hadn’t even appeared. Just a single Sword Qi drove many to retreat quickly and withdraw.

Yet no matter where they retreated, they felt a vague unease.

It seemed this time Xia Feng targeted everyone in the Infinite Secret Realm, making them unable to escape this locked sensation no matter where they ran.

Dongfang Baiyu felt fear and anxiety as well, having confronted Xia Feng before and narrowly escaping thanks to treasures given by the clan elders.

But now that he was without treasures, and Xia Feng had become even stronger, could he really withstand Xia Feng’s attack?

Dongfang Baiyu was uneasy, his eyes darting around. He shouted sharply at the Loose Cultivators behind him.

"Why are you all running so far away!"

"That kid surely has no ability to resist now!"

"That kid used such a powerful Sword Technique near the Divine Vein, his consumption must be considerable."

"Even if he took the top-tier Divine Pill from the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, he couldn’t have restored his Divine Power so quickly."

"Everyone quickly surround him, don’t let him escape again!"

"As long as you can capture that kid, no matter who, whatever demands you make, we’ll do our best to meet them!"
