Sword Dao Laws, Supernatural Powers!
"Mas...Master!"
The three Disciples beside the Old Cultivator were also terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering upon seeing this scene.
Their faces were filled with horror, their hearts finding it hard to believe.
What...what is going on?!
Master is a Great Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation Stage, how could he..."I..."
The Old Cultivator subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his eyes were filled with boundless terror and despair.
Something is wrong!
Very wrong!
Logically speaking,
with his cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation Stage, his Physical Body is incredibly strong, his vitality vast as the sea.
Even if his heart were destroyed, it absolutely shouldn't be fatal!
With a surge of magic power, it could be restored instantly!
But now, he could clearly feel a strange and domineering force lingering around his wound.
It was madly grinding away his vitality, preventing his recovery!
Even...he felt as if his Divine Soul had been brutally torn away, becoming incomplete!
He could only watch helplessly as his vitality, like floodwaters through an open gate, drained away madly!
"Thump!"
Under the horrified gazes of his three Disciples, this mighty Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation Stage.
In the end, without even letting out a scream, his eyes lost their light and he plummeted straight down from the high sky, his vitality severed!
He died with grievance!
At the final moment before death, the image of that flash of a bald-tailed black dog finally crossed the Old Cultivator's mind.
It must have been that dog.
To kill him instantly with such a strange and domineering method...that dog, without a doubt, must be a...great demon beast of the Void Return Realm!
In the distant sky,
the bald-tailed dog, the Mythical Beast, was flying rapidly while chewing on a heart that still faintly throbbed in its mouth.
It chewed a few times, then a look of intense disgust appeared on its dog face.
"Pah!"
It spat out the heart of the Ninth Layer Soul Transformation Cultivator.
"Old and tough, tastes terrible!"
"Ye Qing...I hope you taste better."
The Mythical Beast chuckled darkly, its black dog nose sniffing hard at the air.
"The aura the master gave is too faint, but it doesn't matter..."
"Let me, the Mythical Beast, sniff out where your 'fragrance', you Prodigy, is hiding..."
...Naturally, Ye Qing was completely unaware that he had already been targeted by a terrifying great demon beast.
At this moment, he was still in the courtyard of that Panshi City mansion, wholeheartedly refining the heaven and earth sword seed.
As he continuously contemplated the long river of the Sword Dao, he vaguely seemed to have grasped a trace of the profound essence truly belonging to the Law of the Sword Dao.
Manifested outwardly, it was the meditation room where he was in seclusion.
The room at this moment appeared no different from usual.
But if a Sword Dao expert were here, they would be horrified to discover.
That every inch of air here was filled with crisscrossing, restrained yet terrifying Sword Intent!
The entire room had transformed into an absolute Domain of the Sword!
At the same time,
outside the mansion, a black shadow silently infiltrated. It was none other than Consecrated Elder Jin, who had been ordered by Mu Xinjin to come and assassinate Ye Qing.
His movement technique was bizarre, like a wisp of smoke.
Without alerting anyone, he arrived outside the door of Ye Qing's room.
Sensing no particular movement inside the room, a confident, cold smile curled at the corner of Consecrated Elder Jin's mouth.
"No movement at all. Could he be in seclusion, Cultivating?"
"Perfect!"
"The critical moment of seclusion is most taboo to be disturbed. If I strike by surprise now, even a top Great Cultivator at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul would suffer severe injuries on the spot, and in serious cases, might even perish and have their Dao extinguished!"
Consecrated Elder Jin thought to himself.
He didn't know that Ye Qing and his Disciples were merely passing through.
In his view, Ye Qing and his Disciples were nothing more than consecrated elders that Mu Qianyu had hired from somewhere.
At best, their strength might reach around the fourth or fifth layer of Nascent Soul.
Otherwise, if they truly had heaven-defying abilities, they would have long since directly stormed in.
Helping Mu Qianyu eradicate the Second Miss's faction, why wait until now?
The fact that they hadn't taken the initiative to act indicated that their strength was still insufficient to act with impunity within the Hundred Gold Merchant Guild!
Moreover, he, a dignified Nascent Soul Sixth Layer, was a top expert ranked among the best even in Panshi City!
Now he was even launching a sneak attack while the other party was in seclusion!
This mission was bound to be foolproof!
Thinking this, Consecrated Elder Jin hesitated no longer, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
His entire body instantly transformed into an illusory shadow, about to silently pass through the door.
And infiltrate Ye Qing's room!
However, although Ye Qing was currently fully immersed in comprehending the Law of the Sword Dao,
the entire room had long been enveloped by the Sword Intent he unconsciously emitted.
If someone accidentally barged in, this Sword Intent might not react, merely ensuring the intruder wouldn't disturb Ye Qing's comprehension.
But, Consecrated Elder Jin was not an accidental intruder!
He came with malicious intent!
Therefore, the moment the shadow transformed from Consecrated Elder Jin touched the doorframe!
BOOM!!!
An indescribably terrifying Sword Intent instantly erupted from the seemingly ordinary door!
Outside the door, Consecrated Elder Jin's figure was violently forced out of his shadow state.
He stood rigidly in place, eyes wide open, but his pupils were completely empty, devoid of any spark of life.
In fact, at that very moment.
His consciousness had been forcibly dragged into a boundless, violent ocean composed of countless Sword Qi!
"No!!!"
Consecrated Elder Jin's consciousness roared madly within it, wanting to resist, to struggle!
But he despairingly discovered that before this terrifying ocean of Sword Qi, his proud Nascent Soul Sixth Layer Divine Soul was as insignificant as a lone leaf boat!
With the slightest movement, it was instantly annihilated into nothingness by theA sea of incomparably raging sword energy!
At the final instant before death.
Consecrated Elder Jin's heart was left with only endless shock and absurdity.
In his entire life, he had never seen, never even imagined.
That a Sword Cultivator's attainment in the Sword Dao could reach such an unbelievable level of profundity!
And!
He had clearly come to assassinate the other party!
The other party was clearly in a state of deep immersion, defenseless in seclusion!
This should have been the best time to strike!
But laughably.
He hadn't even seen the other party's face, hadn't even managed to step through the door.
He was blocked outside the door, his Divine Soul directly severed, by a wisp of Sword Intent unconsciously leaking out during the other's seclusion!
With a "thump".
Consecrated Elder Jin's body subconsciously knelt on both knees, facing the door.
He lowered his head heavily, completely devoid of life.
Inside the quiet room.
Ye Qing's brow imperceptibly furrowed.
Just now, he seemed to have sensed a faint trace of malice flash by.
But that malice was far too weak.
Like a mosquito on a summer night, before he could even divert his attention to investigate, it had already been completely extinguished.
So Ye Qing didn't pay it much mind.
His mind and spirit once again immersed themselves in that vast long river of the Sword Dao.
At the same time.
Mu Qianyu was listening to her subordinate's report, her pretty face full of anxiety and gravity.
"Young Miss, the news is absolutely true! The Second Miss...she sent her Consecrated Elder Jin to...to kill you!"
"Consecrated Elder Jin is a Great Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer, we...we can't stop him!"
Standing beside her, Xun Chen's face was deathly pale, his tone filled with helplessness.
Mu Qianyu's expression was grim.
After receiving the news, she immediately used all her connections to try and find an expert capable of stopping Consecrated Elder Jin.
But time was too short!
In such a short time, she simply couldn't find a powerhouse capable of contending with a Nascent Soul Sixth Layer Cultivator!
With the impending crisis, Elder Xun could no longer hold back and urgently said:
"Young Miss, at this point, there's only one way!"
"We...we must beg Senior Ye to take action!"
Elder Xun stated:
"Although I don't know Senior Ye Qing's exact strength, I imagine it should be enough to make Consecrated Elder Jin wary."
"Perhaps we can stall for a while!"
"As long as Senior Ye can hold out against Consecrated Elder Jin for three days, then when the Old Guild Master wakes up and we report what the Second Miss has done to him, things will be fine!"
Elder Xun privately felt.
Ye Qing should have strength around the fifth or sixth layer of Nascent Soul.
With this level of strength, he might be able to block Consecrated Elder Jin! To hold out for three days!
Hearing this, Mu Qianyu's heart was full of hesitation.
Young Master Ye is currently in seclusion and specifically instructed before entering that unless it's a matter of heaven collapsing and earth sinking, he must not be disturbed.
But now, Consecrated Elder Jin at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer is coming with murderous intent. To her, how is this any different from heaven collapsing and earth sinking?
On one side was the Senior's instruction, on the other was her own life-and-death crisis.
Mu Qianyu clenched her silver teeth, a flicker of struggle crossing her pretty face.
Finally, she made up her mind.
"Let's go! We'll go see the situation outside Young Master Ye's door!"
She decided not to disturb him for now, only to wait outside the door.
If luck was good enough, Ye Qing might happen to emerge from seclusion, or might sense her arrival.
Then she would make her request.
This was the least disruptive method she could think of.
"Yes, Young Miss!"
Seeing this, Elder Xun felt slightly reassured.
He hurriedly followed behind Mu Qianyu. The two of them walked hastily through the courtyard.
Quickly heading towards the quiet room where Ye Qing was.
However, the moment she stepped into the small courtyard where Ye Qing resided, Mu Qianyu's footsteps abruptly halted.
Her entire body stiffened as if struck by lightning.
Her beautiful eyes widened, staring fixedly at the door not far ahead, her face filled with an expression of disbelief and stupefaction.
Behind her, Elder Xun, who hadn't yet entered the small courtyard, saw her suddenly stop and couldn't help feeling anxious.
What time is this, a moment of utmost urgency.
What's wrong with the Young Miss?
Could it be...she suddenly hesitated?
Perhaps she's too shy to speak? But this isn't like the Young Miss's character!
He waited a moment, finally unable to resist lowering his voice and urging: "Young Miss?"
Meaning for Mu Qianyu to hurry up and act!
Mu Qianyu didn't turn around. Her voice carried a trace of dreamlike vagueness as she slowly spoke: "Elder Xun, we...we should go back."
"I feel we don't need to trouble Young Master Ye..."
"What?"
Hearing this, Elder Xun's brow instantly furrowed tightly, his heart growing even more anxious.
He was about to ask why.
But the next moment, Mu Qianyu silently stepped aside, revealing the view from the courtyard entrance.
Hinting for him to see for himself.
"Elder Xun, look!"
Look?
Look at what?
Elder Xun was puzzled and instinctively followed Mu Qianyu's gaze.
With just one glance, his entire body shook violently as if struck by a Nine Heavens divine thunderbolt, his pupils contracting to their limit!
Because in front of Ye Qing's tightly closed door.
There was a very familiar figure, kneeling on both knees in an extremely humble posture, head deeply bowed.
As if performing a devout confession.
That figure, that attire...who else could it be but the capable lackey beside the Second Miss, Consecrated Elder Jin at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer?!
Only now, there was not a trace of life left in him, his aura completely gone!
Dead!
Just like that, silently, in this posture, kneeling dead outside Ye Qing's door!
"This...this..."
Elder Xun swallowed hard, feeling his mouth dry and his heart pounding wildly.
What was his previous expectation?
He thought Senior Ye Qing was profound in strength and might be able to fight Consecrated Elder Jin to a draw.
Or perhaps be slightly weaker, but as long as he could hold out for three days, a turning point would come.
This was already the boldest, most overestimated guess he could make based on his own limited perspective!
After all, if they were experts above the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer, why would they be active near a remote border town like Panshi City in the Central Region?
But now?
"My old eyes are truly failing me..."
Elder Xun shook his head and sighed.
Judging by Consecrated Elder Jin's appearance, he had clearly come to assassinate Senior Ye Qing, but...he hadn't even managed to step through the door, dying inexplicably kneeling outside!
What a terrifying disparity in strength this was!
At this moment, Elder Xun finally understood with a bitter smile that he had been a frog at the bottom of a well, viewing the sky from his limited well, unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth!
What Nascent Soul fifth or sixth layer? What stalling for three days?
Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!
In front of Senior Ye Qing, what kind of thing was Consecrated Elder Jin? Probably not even worthy of tying his shoes!
Senior Ye Qing's Realm.
Was undoubtedly already at a level that Xun Chen couldn't even glimpse the boundaries of!
"Elder Xun, let's go back." Mu Qianyu's voice pulled him back from his shock.
"Yes...yes, Young Miss."
Elder Xun hurriedly nodded, following behind Mu Qianyu.
As they turned to leave, he couldn't help but glance back at the tightly closed door.
A sense of lingering fear and relief welled up in his heart.
"Thinking back to when I first met Senior Ye, I was still wary, secretly probing...now that I think about it, it truly sends chills down my spine!"
Thankfully! Thankfully he had been relatively restrained at the time and hadn't done anything truly excessive!
Otherwise, he probably.
Would have brought down a calamity vast enough to annihilate the entire Hundred Gold Merchant Guild!
...At the same time.
Inside the quiet room.
Ye Qing paid no attention to what had happened outside.
His mind was clear and empty, completely immersed in that vast, boundless long river of the Sword Dao.
As the refinement of the heaven and earth sword seed neared completion, his comprehension of the Law of the Sword Dao had also finally improved considerably!
BOOM!
After an unknown length of time, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in Ye Qing's mind!
The seemingly infinite Law of the Sword Dao runes he had comprehended suddenly gathered, compressed, and evolved deep within his Divine Soul!
Finally, transforming into a supreme Divine Ability containing a trace of genuine Law power!
Sword Dao Law Divine Ability — Three Thousand Realms!
