Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 445 - 441: Encounter with Sword Beasts, Strange Rules

Chapter 445: Chapter 441: Encounter with Sword Beasts, Strange Rules

Xia Feng’s expression showed some suspicion. He checked the divine power within his body. Although the Celestial Sword Divine Power was more active, the other Great Daos didn’t seem to be overly affected.

He turned to the women behind him: "Is your divine power being suppressed?"

Except for Li Qingxue, the rest nodded: "It is suppressed. The strength I can exert in this Secret Realm is less than half of my true strength."

"Moreover, I don’t know if it’s just my illusion, but it seems that this suppression is becoming more apparent over time."

Yesterday, the cultivation could be exerted to about seventy percent. Today, it’s only fifty percent.

Xiao Qingxue glanced at her sisters beside her, finding their situation quite similar to hers.

Xia Feng’s expression showed more concern: "If this is the case..."

He paused halfway through his words, sighed, and said, "Let’s first find the Sword Beast to see if there’s any way to restore your cultivation."

After speaking, he took the group away from this area, starting to explore further afield with concern.

This time Li Qingyu was driven away, who knows when or where they might appear next.

Xia Feng gently furrowed his brow, extended his divine sense, and then began searching for traces of the Sword Beast.

It’s unknown if it’s because this place is relatively secluded or if the surrounding Sword Beast have been dealt with.

In short, after searching for a long time, they didn’t find any signs of the Sword Beast.

Instead, they passed by a scene where a Sword Beast was chasing two loose cultivators in confusion.

Beside him, Li Qingxue instinctively drew her sword, ready to attack that Sword Beast. The two loose cultivators hurriedly shouted, "No, don’t attack!"

Li Qingxue was somewhat confused but watched as the Sword Beast lunged at the back of the loose cultivators, seemingly about to claim their lives.

Li Qingxue could not care much more, and with a stab of her Divine Sword, she began a ferocious attack on the Sword Beast.

Strangely, before Li Qingxue acted, the Sword Beast cultivation seemed only at the Celestial Tier Seventh Martial God Realm.

However, after Li Qingxue acted, the Sword Beast quickly raised its cultivation to the First Grade Celestial God Realm within just a few breaths.

This made things much more troublesome. Li Qingxue was only at the Celestial Tier Ninth Martial God Realm. Even with the Great Dao of Celestial Sword support in the Secret Realm, she was no match for the Sword Beast.

The group of women behind gripped the Ten Directions Killing Mirror: "Qingxue sister, we’ll help you!"

With those words, they formed the Ten Extremes Array, almost transferring their cultivation entirely to Li Qingxue.

The two loose cultivators beside them felt as if the sky was falling.

"It’s over, it’s all over..."

Xia Feng’s expression showed more curiosity, but he had no time to say much. Instead, he watched the ten women entangle with the Sword Beast.

A Sword Beast of this realm just happened to let the women practice. The cultivation wasn’t too low, allowing them to fully utilize their abilities.

The cultivation wasn’t too high either, so Xia Feng at the rear could control the situation.

The Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand was ready. He turned with curiosity to look at the two loose cultivators.

"Why did you two say it’s all over right away?"

The loose cultivators hadn’t recognized Li Qingxue as the Divine Maiden battling the Sword Beast. They were overwhelmed by the First Grade Celestial God Realm Sword Beast.

After Xia Feng asked, they regained a bit of their senses, though their expressions remained unattractive.

"Sir, you may not know, this Sword Beast grows stronger with stronger opponents, maintaining a minor level above the one’s battling with it."

"We are Celestial Tier Sixth Martial Gods, so we encountered two Celestial Tier Seventh Martial God Sword Beasts."

"After using all our trump cards to kill one, this one was provoked into bloodlust, becoming exceptionally hard to kill..."

"In panic, we started fleeing everywhere."

He sighed. A Celestial Tier Seventh Martial God level Sword Beast was already troublesome. Li Qingxue, with Celestial Tier Ninth Martial God cultivation, provoked it to Celestial God Realm.

Even a fool would know that crossing a major realm and crossing a minor level are entirely different matters.

They could barely struggle against a Celestial Tier Seventh Martial God level Sword Beast, let alone a Celestial God Realm Sword Beast they didn’t dare to face.

The two held ready their Teleportation Talismans, waiting to flee the instant Li Qingxue was defeated.

Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully, observing the Sword Beast more intensely, pondering its principles.

Previously in God Burial Valley, the Resentful Beast was formed by absorbing resentment. In the Infinite Divine Domain, Blood Beasts were formed by absorbing blood essence.

What is the formation principle of this Sword Beast?

He turned to ask the two loose cultivators: "How did you draw out these two Sword Beasts?"

The expressions of the two loose cultivators became bitter and embarrassing: "Near the Sword God Hall, invoking the Great Dao of Celestial Sword would condense into Sword Beasts by unknown rules."

"Normally, one must kill it personally. Otherwise, the more help, the greater the danger."

One loose cultivator glanced at Li Qingxue still fighting and said with pursed lips: "But forming an array like this, I’m not sure if it counts as one person attacking, or ten people."

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow: "Does it make a difference?"

The loose cultivator puzzled glanced at Xia Feng knowing nothing but explained: "It does make a difference."

"That woman intervened and blocked the Sword Beast for us. When our Sword Beast disappears, even if we’re not near the Sword God Hall, a new Sword Beast will still form."

"If it’s one attack, it’s one First Grade Celestial God Realm Sword Beast."

"If it’s ten..."

He left the sentence unfinished, merely staring grimly at the surrounded Sword Beast.

Xia Feng’s expression reflected contemplation, noticing that Li Qingxue was no longer in a defensive stance but rather taking the initiative.

He raised his voice slightly: "Qingxue, finish it quickly. If you need help, just ask."

Li Qingxue seemed to have been waiting for his words, almost speaking up just as he finished: "Help me now."

"I can only hold on for a while. Crossing a major realm consumes too much divine power."

The Heaven-Burying Sword in Xia Feng’s hand let out a crisp sword cry, seemingly excited about the battle to drink blood.

He chuckled softly, and the Great Dao of Celestial Sword in his hand carried a powerful pressure, sweeping forward.

The Sword Beast opposite let out a desperate wail, hesitated not, abandoned Li Qingxue, and lunged straight for Xia Feng’s Heaven-Burying Sword.

The beast and the sword instantly engaged in an intense, fierce struggle.
