Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 906 - 469: Battle of the Yu River

"Sect Leader! It’s practically a dragon nest down there! I’ve never seen so many serpents together even in the East Sea! They’re all tangled up in knots!"

Baqui was gnawing on meat, while Fen Yun clamored and took out the dragon egg from his embrace to show Tie Dan.

"Another dragon..."

Tie Dan lifted up the egg, sensing the aura of the Dragon Seed, and examined the shape of the embryo inside. It didn’t seem like the True Dragon from the Immortal Palace, but more like a Jiao species transformed from some Water Snake Species—uncertain whether it was a wild hybrid from a Demon Dragon or just evolved from excessive consumption of human flesh.

"This Flood Dragon is protected by Sunflower Water True Breath, impervious to blades and spears, with immense strength, moving with unrivaled swiftness underwater. Even my fireballs couldn’t pierce its shell.

And for ones this size, there are at least twenty more of these Great Demons at the river bottom, each one hundred zhang long. When they stir waves, the river is practically impossible to cross."

Because Tie Dan was too swift in killing, these Flood Dragon Great Demons were killed in a blink of an eye, without showing any prowess, so Fen Yun hastened to explain, lest he seemed too weak.

However, Tie Dan didn’t expect much from his combat power anyway. He cast a glance at the vast colorful auspicious clouds following distantly behind,

"Difficult or not, we have to cross. The group behind has sent people to probe, indicating they have reached an understanding and will soon stage a joint attack.

Delaying any longer would allow them to form a battle array and conceive strategies against us. I cannot guarantee I can protect you all."

"Hiss... But with dragons ahead and pursuers behind, it’s just... maybe we should take a detour?"

Baqui couldn’t even swallow his grass in, and Fen Yun, sweating coldly, suggested.

Tie Dan stood up, slowly floating into the air over the Yu River, said calmly,

"Useless, they can tunnel through light and electricity and fly to the front to block us. Smelling the Blood Breath during battle, this horde of demons would pursue through water the same. There’s no escape from this battle; we can only fight through.

You all needn’t worry about anything else. Baqui, just grit your teeth, protect the items, and charge through the river. Fen Yun, you handle defense, boil the water, and create a layer of mist cover. Leave all else to me."

Given Tie Dan’s words, the two Divinity Transformations could do nothing else, so they waited for Baqui to eat his fill and gather strength, then made a determined plunge into the river, paddling desperately, while Fen Yun protected the ship’s cabin on his back to prevent the containers from falling into the water. As per Tie Dan’s instructions, he cast ring upon ring of fire, causing steam to rise from the heated river, enveloping the river path in thick fog, blocking visibility for a moment.

Meanwhile, Tie Dan stealthily hid by tunneling, concealing within the dense fog above the Yu River, unleashing his Divine Sense fully, scanning like radar for any approaching enemies, holding a mouthful of True Qi, ready to burst out explosively at any moment.

Such a high-profile river crossing naturally caught the attention of both sides.

With Baqui carrying two hundred boxes and emitting a rich meat fragrance, his presence couldn’t be hidden. Immediately waves surged and undercurrents swirled in the Yu River, and whirlpools churned. Numerous massive shadows arose, rolling up sediment from the riverbed, creeping closer, preparing to surround the intruders head-on.

Noticing from afar the rising smoke clouds and splashing waves, knowing Tie Dan and his group were making a forced river crossing, individuals from the Demon Sect behind quickly formed groups to attack—’shua shua shua’—like meteors falling fast, like a tidal wave of meteorites. In an instant, they flew over, occupying the starry positions in the sky swiftly, forming the Complete Heaven Formation, setting up an apocalyptic array on the ground.

Tie Dan found it a headache, though once a scattered group of monkeys fleeing a fallen tree, in just a few days, they’d connected to devise an entire formation to deal with him. Was it truly due to the allure of the hundreds of cargo boxes, or had he simply offended too many people...

Forget it, no need for words anymore, unleash it!

"Splash—!" "Splash—!" "Splash—!"

Tie Dan opened his mouth, spewing out a torrent of Ruyi True Breath wildly, erratically shooting beams, naming Qi Lines in the sky that were like steel wires, either slicing through raging waves, cutting the subterranean approaching Flood Dragons in half, dyeing vast areas red, or horizontally traversing heaven and earth, dissipating mist and slicing winds, causing the Heavenly Stars to fall consecutively.

In truth, although the Ruyi Sword Scripture and Nine Luminaries Divine Sword are both ’Sword Scriptures’, they are actually Qi Gong techniques, and the refined sword energy from both transforms into two entirely different things.

The Nine Luminaries Divine Sword is akin to a special Qi Gong of the Sword Sect, wherein through secret Qi Circulation, Spiritual Qi is refined within the body into specialty True Qi, granting a ’sword blade’-like slashing attribute, with sword energy capable of slicing open and beheading sharply, akin to blade and sword.

The Ruyi Sword Scripture, on the other hand, and the Sword Control Skill it entails, are styles prevalent across various sects. The principle remains the same—essentially compressing a mouthful of True Qi within the chest, ejecting high-pressure Qi Blade outwards, with the sword piercing like an attack. Therefore, its power depends on the depth of one’s cultivation and the amount of Qi Power.

Currently hindered by water medium, the Ruyi True Breath was weakened by thirty percent. However, with two thousand years of cultivation, Tie Dan’s Qi Power was extraordinarily formidable, achieving impressive power from afar—knocking down cattle across mountains, exploding fish across waters, effortlessly blasting any demon dragon or long jiao alike.

However, this move was purely physical damage, targeting weak points to specifically damage bodies. It was a basic Divine Skill that relied on brute force to overpower, with surpassing strength meeting both strong and weak opponents. However, the Demon Sect was not so easily dealt with using mere physical damage skills.

These individuals who roamed Jianghu, engaging in murder and looting, mostly True Disciples with secret manuals from various mountains, possessing at least a millennium of power, with those well-established wielding master-secret swords, protected by magic treasures, and having Daoist companions and mounts, were thoroughly prepared to seize the Sword Sect’s treasures this round. How could they be slain by you in a flash?
