168: Chapter 168 A Thousand Swords Cry in Harmony, Battle Against Xiao Chen

Rumble!

The sound of sword humming roared like thunder, echoing throughout the surroundings.

"Yun Xi, this is the Shenji Domain, it's no place for you to act so presumptuously!"

Sword light flashed like a rainbow as a middle-aged man arrived treading upon a sword. Sword Qi swirled around him, seemingly capable of tearing through the Void Realm!

"Burial Sword Valley."

Yun Xi frowned.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Valley Revered Master of Burial Sword Valley, Qin Jian!

His strength was unfathomable; like Li Fanqing, the Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, he was a half-step Emperor Realm existence.

"Hand over the sword. Out of respect for Li Fanqing's Face, I will not kill you."

Qin Jian's expression remained calm, but his eyes scrutinized Yun Xi as if trying to detect something.

Yun Xi's Face darkened as she said slowly, "Valley Revered Master Qin, the item you seek is not here."

"Hmph! Do you take me for a fool?"

Qin Jian's gaze turned toward the phantom of the heaven-slaying sword embryo in the sky; he could deeply sense the true Great Dao of the Sword!

As long as he obtained that sword, he would be one hundred percent certain to step into the Emperor Realm!

He might even have the chance to attain immortality!

He had waited countless years for such an opportunity and would absolutely not give it up.

Yun Xi could see that Qin Jian's eyes were filled with a nearly paranoid longing.

Gu Yue Hu Rong took to the air, looked at Qin Jian, and spoke slowly, "Valley Revered Master Qin, the sword shadow in the sky is merely a phenomenon from a disciple of my Ancient Moon Sword Clan making a Breakthrough. There is indeed no supreme treasure. You should withdraw."

"Ancient Moon..."

Qin Jian's expression wavered, a hint of wariness flashing across his Face.

Naturally, he didn't believe a word about a Breakthrough.

Even if it were a Breakthrough, it would mean the person breaking through possessed an invincible sword embryo.

No matter what, he had to get his hands on it!

However, unlike the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, the Ancient Moon Sword Clan was backed by the Imperial City.

To touch one part would affect the whole.

Furthermore, relying on himself alone without using his ultimate move, he could not kill three Heavenly Kings simultaneously...

Yun Xi's eyes gradually grew cold.

Qin Jian's silence already explained everything.

"Since you won't retreat, then die!"

The Red Dust Silk moved, transforming into a sky full of red clouds as it surged forward to kill!

Gu Yue Hu Rong and Gu Yue Guang Xu also took action. An ancient moon manifested, swords danced in the air, and thousands of strands of Sword Qi whistled forth!

Qin Jian's expression turned cold.

"Hmph!"

"How can my ten thousand years of accumulation be compared to yours!"

"Burial Sword Divine Ability: Bury Heaven, Bury Earth, Bury All Living Beings!"

"Swords!"

"Rise!"

Ten thousand swords hummed, shaking the entire Long Yan Immortal Treasury!

Countless sword phantoms surged out from within Qin Jian's body.

Everywhere they passed, space shattered and was instantly annihilated!

Lan Cangyu's body trembled violently.

His eyes were filled with an expression of utter disbelief!

"This is the Sword Burial...!"

"The peerless immortal method of the Sword Burial Heavenly Pool, passed down through generations and never shared with outsiders!"

Lan Cangyu was somewhat dazed as a long-buried fear was awakened once again.

When he had just entered the Dao Entry Realm, he had once seen a sword strike from afar.

That single strike.

It severed the heavens and split the earth, crushing everything in its path, and forced an entire major domain of the Ancient Realm of Longevity to be split in two...

The number of living beings buried under that sword strike was beyond count, simply impossible to calculate.

Thinking back on it now still caused his heart to palpitate with intense fear.

Lan Cangyu did not know who she was.

He only knew she came from the extremely mysterious Sword Burial Heavenly Pool of the Ancient Realm of Longevity, and a group of Kings called her the

Burial Sword Celestial Maiden!

Now, the Divine Ability used by this Qin Jian seemed to originate from that sword strike.

It lacked the true spirit, and its form was not even one-ten-millionth of the Burial Sword Celestial Maiden's.

But even so, that terrifying power was not something a Heavenly King could withstand!

This was the true sword of invincibility!

The sword phantoms whistled.

Yun Xi, Gu Yue Hu Rong, and Gu Yue Guang Xu were instantly suppressed.

"What Divine Ability is this! Why is it so terrifying?" Gu Yue Hu Rong's eyes were full of disbelief.

Yun Xi made a prompt decision and summoned an Emperor Weapon to protect the three of them, barely managing to block the sword phantoms.

She was also puzzled.

This sword was simply too strong, already exceeding the scope of a Heavenly King...

"This is the invincible sword of the Ancient Realm of Longevity. With his strength, it's difficult for him to use it a second time," Lan Cangyu called out to remind them.

Qin Jian's heart jolted, and his Face turned suddenly dark as he looked at Lan Cangyu.

"Where did this ant come from? You're looking for death!"

Before his voice had even faded, a sword phantom slashed toward Lan Cangyu at an incredible speed.

Currently, Yun Xi and the other two were too busy looking after themselves and could not intervene to save him.

If this sword strike landed, he would surely die!

Lan Cangyu's Face turned deathly pale!

He seemed to hear the footsteps of death!

The sword phantom slashed down, seemingly about to annihilate him!

At the critical moment!

Hum!

The sound of metal clashing echoed.

Lan Cangyu stared blankly ahead as a golden bell had somehow appeared to block the path in front of him.

Without a doubt, that was an Emperor Weapon!

But where did it come from?

Qin Jian was similarly stunned, his Face covered in shock.

"This sword Dao Divine Ability is truly not bad."

A faint voice rang out.

Joy appeared in Yun Xi's eyes.

Looking back, the Restriction woven from the Red Dust Silk was gradually dissipating.

Two figures slowly emerged.

"Tian'er!"

"Qinger!"

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

"Revered Master, Seniors, thank you for waiting!"

Nine Heavens Five-Colored Primordial Array!

Activate!

The array patterns expanded, instantly enveloping everyone.

Without exception.

Above the Reflection, everyone's aura was rapidly declining!

Hiss—!!

Qin Jian's expression changed instantly.

With his cultivation plummeting, he could no longer sustain that Burial Sword Divine Ability.

In an instant, all the sword phantoms collapsed!

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up. Void ripples shimmered as he appeared silently beside Qin Ming.

With just one hand, he plucked off his head!

In a battle within the same realm.

How could he possibly have any power to fight back before Qin Tian!

Blood sprayed into the air.

A generation's Burial Sword Valley Master had fallen just like that.

Qin Tian didn't care at all, casually tossing the head onto the ground like a piece of trash...

"Lan Cangyu, you owe me another life."

"Are you really not going to consider following me?"

Lan Cangyu was slightly dazed and took a deep breath. "Great kindness needs no words of thanks."

"I can help you, but you must answer one question for me."

Qin Tian laughed, "What question?"

"Why did you choose me? Lanshui Holy Land is not some major power, and I am not a woman, so I cannot offer myself to you..."

"Stop, stop, stop! What kind of nonsense is that?" Qin Tian said crossly, "I chose you for only one reason."

"You and I are the same kind of person." (Both are villains)

Lan Cangyu was stunned.

The same kind of person?

How are we the same?

He shook his head with a bitter smile.

Never mind, he would find out sooner or later.

"Fine. If you go to the Ancient Realm of Longevity in the future, I will assist you. As long as it doesn't harm Lanshui Holy Land or my friends, I can do anything else for you to repay the favor of sparing my life!"

Qin Tian looked up and smiled, "This will be the most correct decision you ever make in your life."

Lan Cangyu smiled, treating Qin Tian's words as a joke and not taking them to heart.

Suddenly.

The heaven-slaying sword embryo shadow trembled.

The sky darkened as pitch-black tribulation clouds surged in continuously.

Han Qing's Reflection Heavenly Tribulation had arrived!

Having integrated the heaven-slaying sword embryo and achieved a Breakthrough from destruction, Han Qing's cultivation had not only restored to the Peak of Guixu but had also taken a step further, about to break through to the Reflection Realm.

Qin Tian looked at Han Qing and said softly, "Junior Sister, are you ready?"

"Yes."

Han Qing nodded, her eyes filled with determination as she charged directly into the lightning.

Qin Tian watched the sky. Han Qing, dressed in black with a stable aura, put his mind at ease.

Immediately after.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, his gaze landing on a certain spot as he shouted loudly:

"Xiao Chen!"

"Are you going to keep hiding in the shadows like a shrinking turtle?"

"Come out and fight!"
