102: A system bug has been detected! The Legend of Sword and Fairy series includes the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Trapping Sword!

The slash unleashed by that slaughter obsession phantom made the entire Burial Sword Mountain wail in sorrow.

On the mountain's surface, countless long swords that had been embedded for over a hundred thousand years cracked and exploded under the wash of the bloody sword river. The fragments, mixed with sharp Sword Qi turbulence, poured down onto the mountaintop platform like a rainstorm of steel and death.

Space was torn open, revealing black gashes and the terrifying void behind them.

Lu Yu's breath hitched.

This was simply not a force that could be resisted at their level.

Even though he and Xiao Wuqing Xiao were top-tier existences within the Nascent Soul Stage, even though their Sword Intent was enough to look down upon their peers, they were still as insignificant as ants before this slaughter will originating from an Immortal Rank existence.

Take it head-on?

Certain death.

"Brother Xiao, retreat!"

Lu Yu roared, unleashing his Four Symbols Sword Intent at full power. It was no longer for offense but transformed into a swirling, fluctuating barrier protecting his front as his figure rapidly retreated.

Xiao Wuqing Xiao reacted extremely quickly. Almost the moment Lu Yu spoke, the silver sword light that had been slashing towards the Immortal Artifact remnant abruptly reversed course.

His Ruthless Sword Intent condensed to its extreme, forming a thin shell of ice protecting his entire body as he also hastily retreated.

BOOM——!!!

The bloody sword river swept past the spot where the two had just been standing.

The platform's ground was plowed open, leaving a bottomless, several-zhang-wide chasm!

The rocks at the edges melted into a dark red, glassy substance, sizzling.

Merely the residual force from the graze caused Lu Yu's protective Sword Intent to violently tremble. A sweet taste rose in his throat—blood surged up, but he forcibly swallowed it back down.

Xiao Wuqing Xiao fared even worse. His protective ice shell shattered inch by inch, his Face turned as pale as paper, and the hand holding his sword trembled slightly.

The gap was too vast, so vast it was despair-inducing.

Tang Jia Third Young Master stood in a relatively safe spot in the distance, watching this scene, a cold, sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

This was precisely the effect he wanted—to let Lu Yu and the others exhaust their strength to wear down this obsession. Once the obsession was weakened to a certain degree, he would then use a secret technique and his qiankun bag to capture it.

As for whether Lu Yu and the others lived or died?

What did that have to do with him?

Lu Yu's mind was racing furiously.

The next instant, Lu Yu's gaze abruptly fell upon the nine Spirit Treasure-grade long swords beside the Immortal Artifact remnant.

An idea surfaced in his mind.

The idea felt somewhat absurd, but upon further thought, it seemed to make perfect sense.

If... he first obtained a Spirit Treasure, and the System judged this as his own Opportunity, then detected that he had intercepted Lu Yu's Opportunity, and granted a reward...

What would the System reward him with?

This Spirit Treasure was the highest-grade Spiritual Artifact in the Lower Realm. Would it reward him with another Immortal Artifact?

Theoretically, this was exploiting a loophole in the System's judgment logic!

It all depended on whether the System would give him this Face!

He'd gamble!

With a hardened heart, Lu Yu seized the moment when the slaughter obsession seemed to have a brief moment of stagnation after delivering a slash. This obsession had only recently emerged from the demon sword broken hilt and hadn't yet achieved peak-level mastery over its own power.

Lu Yu's figure shot forward like lightning. Instead of retreating, he charged towards the nine spirit swords at the platform's center!

"Seeking death!"

The slaughter obsession phantom let out a hoarse roar, raising its hand to unleash another, slightly smaller bloody Sword Qi slash.

"Myriad Forms, Converging Flow!"

Lu Yu erupted with the vast Sword Intent he had just refined from the storm passage!

At this moment, he held nothing back. The immense, abyss-like Sword Qi seemed to have found a vent, transforming into a river of chaotic-colored Sword Qi!

He didn't clash head-on with the bloody Sword Qi. Instead, he cleverly guided and entangled it, diverting its direction slightly.

BOOM!

The bloody Sword Qi grazed past Lu Yu's side, shredding half his robe to pieces and leaving bloody gashes on his skin. But he also used the impact force to increase his speed by another threefold.

He grabbed the nearest crimson spirit sword!

As the sword entered his hand, a scorching, domineering aura transmitted through it. The blade was inscribed with the characters " Burning the Mountain" (Fenyue), marking it as a fire-attribute Medium Grade Spirit Treasure!

Almost simultaneously, the System prompt sounded in his mind:

[Detected that the protagonist has successfully intercepted the Medium Grade Spirit Treasure fenyue sword, an Opportunity belonging to the son of destiny Lu Yu!]

[Rewarding protagonist: Immortal Artifact, one of the Four Absolute Immortal Swords—immortal slaying sword!]

[...]

[Rewarding protagonist: destiny +1000, Luck Gold Coins +6000!]

[Four Absolute Immortal Swords: There are four swords in total. Each alone is an extremely powerful Immortal Sword of slaughter, possessing immense Killing Intent. If all four swords are gathered, they can form a Four Ultimate Immortal Sword Array, making slaying Immortals a trivial matter!]

Success!

Lu Yu's eyes lit up. He had actually managed to exploit this loophole!

A sword shadow, about four chi long, crimson-red like blood, with Immortal Fire faintly flowing along its blade, flashed briefly in Lu Yu's left palm before disappearing.

Immediately afterward, a Slaughter Sword Intent far surpassing that of the fenyue sword awoke within him!

The level of this Slaughter Sword Intent was extremely high. Its aura of annihilating gods and Immortals even caused the nearby slaughter obsession phantom to pause slightly.

But Lu Yu understood that relying solely on the immortal slaying sword in his hand now was still insufficient to contend with this Immortal Rank obsession.

After all, the opponent was an obsession of an Immortal, possessing some of the might of the Demon Sword Immortal from his lifetime.

Although he now had an Immortal Sword, the power he could unleash with this immortal slaying sword was still far too low!

So, the next moment!

He shifted his gaze to the other person in the distance!

Tang Jia Third Young Master!

After all, this person was also a son of destiny!

Another idea formed in his mind!

Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled out another Spirit Treasure not far from his side. The sword was named Chixia Sword!

Using all his strength, he hurled it towards Tang Jia Third Young Master, who was spectating from afar!

The sword transformed into a crimson rainbow, piercing through the chaotic Sword Qi turbulence, heading straight for Tang Jia Third Young Master's Face.

Tang Jia Third Young Master was stunned. His first instinct was that this was a trick, but the aura of a Spirit Treasure emanating from the exceptionally fine-quality spirit sword couldn't be faked.

Moreover, the sword's trajectory was direct and straightforward, with no other variations.

Greed instantly overwhelmed caution. If he couldn't seize such an Opportunity, what was the point of cultivating immortality!

He reached out and grabbed, firmly grasping the Chixia Sword in his hand.

The sword felt warm and smooth to the touch, with a surge of powerful fire spirit energy. Although it wasn't a perfect match for his own Yin-cold leaning Cultivation Technique, a Spirit Treasure was still a Spirit Treasure, possessing immense power!

A hint of joy had just appeared on his Face, before he could even excitedly examine it closely.

Lu Yu moved!

He didn't even check the situation with the Chixia Sword; he only cared whether Tang Jia Third Young Master had taken hold of it.

The moment Tang Jia Third Young Master grasped the Chixia Sword, Lu Yu had already pounced out, closely following the sword light!

His right hand clenched empty air, and the newly obtained immortal slaying sword materialized solidly in his grasp, its crimson light blazing!

The slaughter obsession's attention was indeed diverted a fraction by Lu Yu's sudden "infighting" move. Its blood-red pupils seemed to turn towards the Chixia Sword in Tang Jia Third Young Master's hand with some confusion.

This was the opening!

Lu Yu merged with his sword, his figure like a startled swan, instantly crossing several dozen zhang. The immortal slaying sword, carrying a fierce Immortal Dao slaughter aura, stabbed straight at the wrist of Tang Jia Third Young Master, who was holding the fenyue sword!

This strike was without any fancy moves—fast, accurate, and Xiao Wuqing. Its sole purpose was to force him to drop the sword!

Tang Jia Third Young Master was greatly alarmed. He hadn't expected Lu Yu to dare attack him so brazenly under the threat of the slaughter obsession, nor had he expected Lu Yu to suddenly possess a red sword with such a terrifying aura.

In his haste, he swung the fenyue sword to block.

CLANG——!!!

A piercing metallic clang reverberated across the platform.

Although the Chixia Sword was a Medium Grade Spirit Treasure, how could it contend with the immortal slaying sword, which contained a trace of Immortal Dao Origin?

Upon contact, the Chixia Sword let out a mournful cry. Its spiritual light dimmed, and it was knocked flying from his grasp!

Lu Yu's left hand shot out like lightning, snatching the flying Chixia Sword out of the air.

This Chixia Sword wasn't something he had obtained himself; he had seized it from Tang Jia Third Young Master's hands!

This should also count as intercepting Tang Jia Third Young Master's Opportunity, right?!

Simultaneously, the System prompt sounded again:

[Detected that the protagonist has successfully intercepted the High Grade Spirit Treasure fenyue sword, an Opportunity belonging to the son of destiny Lu Yu!]

[Rewarding protagonist: Immortal Artifact, one of the Four Absolute Immortal Swords—immortal trapping sword!]

[Protagonist has successfully dealt a blow to the Luck of the son of destiny Tang Jia Third Young Master!]

[Successfully plundered destiny +1000, Luck Gold Coins +14000!]

[Note: Detected the protagonist's current loophole-exploiting behavior. Subsequent attempts to exploit the System will be strictly prohibited!]
