346: Facing the Sword Emperor

Eerie thick fog permeated the air as Nangong Lin and Xiao Yiyi's figures darted through the mist, closely followed by the three Sword Emperors who were blinded by the prospect of a Spirit Treasure.

The further they went, the more bizarre the mist became.

This area not only completely blocked all Divine Sense and isolated all sound, but it also caused directions to constantly shift.

After traveling a bit further, the Sword Emperors' group was thrown into disarray, and the three who were originally flying side-by-side were instantly separated.

Realizing they could no longer fly in this eerie place, they hurriedly landed on the ground.

Immediately afterward, each took out their own Magical Artifacts and used their own methods to sense their orientation.

But without the Heavenly Secret Map in hand, they had no idea that this was the most dangerous place in the entire Secret Realm.

Here dwelt a Blood Corpse Yao Beast with a cultivation level comparable to a Six-Star Sword Emperor.

Before long, one Sword Emperor "hit the jackpot."

He had stumbled into the territory of the Blood Corpse Yao Beast.

The Blood Corpse Yao Beast looked like a creature stitched together from the flesh of various Yao Beasts, emitting a nauseating bloody aura; its body was as massive as a small mountain, and its mere presence was enough to strike terror into one's heart.

After sensing an intruder, the Blood Corpse Yao Beast suddenly erupted, taking the lead to attack with a distorted crawling posture.

"Not good! A Six-Star Sword Emperor-level Yao Beast!!!"

The Black-Robed Sword Emperor was terrified after seeing the newcomer clearly; he wanted to immediately use a movement technique to escape, but it was already too late.

With a "Bang!"

The Blood Corpse Yao Beast's massive tail swung over, slamming heavily against his body.

It sent the Sword Emperor flying straight into the ground, and after a loud boom, he smashed a deep crater into the earth.

With several "buzzing" sounds, several life-saving Magical Artifacts on the Black-Robed Sword Emperor's body shattered one after another under this terrifying blow.

Although these artifacts had played their part at the critical moment and blocked the fatal strike for him, it was merely a deathbed struggle.

The Blood Corpse Yao Beast seemed large and clumsy, but its speed was actually not slow.

Any creature that entered its territory was destined to never leave.

After failing to escape multiple times, he took a deep breath and looked at the mountain-like, hideous, and terrifying Blood Corpse Yao Beast before him.

"Could this be the retribution for this seat's decades of evildoing?"

"Hahaha, to think it would be settled today..."

The Black-Robed Sword Emperor gradually gave up on fleeing and instead tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

Since he couldn't escape, why not fight a bloody battle!

Eyes closed, then opened.

Fear and dread vanished.

At this moment, he was no longer that selfish Cultivator whose eyes were blinded by greed and who loved killing people to seize their treasures.

He became a swordsman again, a pure swordsman with no distractions, seeking only achievements in the Dao of the sword.

The Black-Robed Sword Emperor quickly swallowed several precious Medicinal Pills; the medicinal power exploded within his body instantly, injecting him with a surge of powerful energy.

He gripped his sword tightly and let out a heaven-shaking roar: "Liang He of the Great Flame Sword Sect shall challenge this Six-Star Sword Emperor-level Yao Beast today!!!"

With a "shua," the sword was unsheathed.

With another "swoosh," the long sword sliced through the Void Realm, slashing toward the Blood Corpse Yao Beast!

"Boom!"

The black-robed Cultivator clashed fiercely with the Blood Corpse Yao Beast, the explosive force sweeping through the surroundings as the thick fog churned.

The faint light of techniques and sharp sword light occasionally lit up in the mist, only gradually dissipating after a long time... "Puchi!"

Not far ahead, a dull sound faintly echoed.

Another Sword Emperor keenly sensed that something was wrong and abruptly stopped his pace, his expression tense.

He warily looked around, cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

For some reason, the greed in his heart had long been replaced by a thick sense of fear.

The Sword Emperor's intuition told him that there was great terror ahead, and taking the wrong direction would definitely lead to death!

This intuition was very accurate, having saved him from danger countless times in the past.

After weighing his options for a moment, he no longer cared about any Spirit Treasure and only wanted to quickly escape this terrifying place.

So he carefully turned around, using all his abilities to grope his way back the way he came.

His trump card Magical Artifacts, life-saving Medicinal Pills, and bottom-card Cultivation Technique secret arts were all taken out in advance for emergencies.

Every step back was filled with trepidation and unease, fearing that something terrifying would pounce from the mist at any second.

Finally, he successfully left that misty area.

"Could it be that this seat is the only one who escaped?" he murmured to himself, still shaken.

"Hiss... these two juniors are definitely strange! I must go back and inform the Fellow Daoists!"

A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he then activated a movement technique and fled the area.

Meanwhile, the third Sword Emperor also realized the situation was wrong and similarly wanted to escape.

But the moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse of two figures walking out of the mist simultaneously—it was Nangong Lin and Xiao Yiyi.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, what do we do now?"

Xiao Yiyi secretly sent a voice transmission to the other, asking for the next step of the plan.

To her surprise, Nangong Lin waved his hand, "Fellow Daoist, today the two of us shall battle a Sword Emperor!"

Having said that, ignoring the shocked girl, he activated his movement technique and was the first to attack with his sword.

"What? Us? Fight a Sword Emperor?"

Xiao Yiyi's eyes widened, unable to believe what she had just heard.

A Five-Star Sword King and a Nine-Star Sword King—with such a lineup, they actually dared to talk about challenging a Sword Emperor?

It was simply wishful thinking!

But the current situation left her no time to think much more; Xiao Yiyi had no choice but to follow closely behind and draw her sword to face the Sword Emperor... At first, Xiao Yiyi fully expected Nangong Lin to be hiding some powerful trump card or to have planned some ingenious tactic, especially since he still had a Spirit Treasure he hadn't used.

But soon, she discovered that Nangong Lin was simply being reckless, charging straight at the Sword Emperor and engaging in a passionate exchange of slashes with him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yiyi no longer held back and immediately performed her own trump card ultimate skill.

One on the left and one on the right, the two formed a pincer attack against the Sword Emperor.

Seeing this, the Sword Emperor's lips curled into a cold sneer.

As a Sword Emperor powerhouse, even if he was only a One-Star Sword Emperor at the lowest level, he didn't take these two Sword King juniors seriously at all.

However, as the battle continued, the Sword Emperor's expression gradually changed, and the disdain in his eyes was replaced by panic.

He was horrified to find that the strength erupted by these two working together could actually pose a huge threat to him.

That man with only Five-Star Sword King cultivation, although his Realm was not high, his sword techniques were immensely powerful, and his movement techniques were even more exquisite.

Meanwhile, the woman on the other side with Nine-Star Sword King cultivation had a deep and solid foundation; facing his sharp attacks, she was actually able to hold her ground steadily.

In the battle, the Sword Emperor had to endure the sneak attacks from Nangong Lin's sword techniques while also dealing with Xiao Yiyi's frontal assaults, causing the spiritual energy in his body to deplete rapidly.

If this continued, he knew in his heart that he would eventually be worn down and ground to death by these two juniors...
