Chapter 453: Chapter 453: The Lady in White (18th Update)

Shi Feng’s strength was nearly exhausted; at this moment, he felt that even taking one more step forward was difficult.

But the man with the beard-of-eight-characters opposite was no better off. However, Shi Feng still had a trump card up his sleeve—the Artifact Spirit within the Bloodthirsty Sword, the Blood Yin Beast.

In his current state, Shi Feng could no longer wield the Bloodthirsty Sword to execute Sword Skills or Martial Skills. Yet the Artifact Spirit within the Bloodthirsty Sword—the Blood Yin Beast—still remained in its peak state. Although the power of the Blood Yin Beast was only at the sixth-stage Sect Level, Shi Feng knew that this final blow, with the power of the sixth-stage Sect Level, was more than enough to kill this bearded middle-aged man who was not in much better shape than himself.

Watching the blood-colored light flying towards him, and seeing the fierce beast that seemed to be hidden within it, the bearded middle-aged man’s face, which had been somewhat composed, suddenly changed drastically. His right palm, which was spinning with a thin stream of icy-blue air, immediately slammed into the incoming blood-colored light.

"Thud!"

"No!"

Two sounds simultaneously came from the body of the bearded middle-aged man. "No!" was the unwilling roar from the man; the "thud" sound was his palm being pierced through by the Bloodthirsty Sword.

Then followed a furious roar from the beast, the somewhat indistinct Bloodthirsty Sword, with the Blood Yin Beast within, stabbed into the chest of the bearded middle-aged man and came out through his back!

"Ugh!" The body of the bearded middle-aged man arched, his face bearing an expression of unwillingness; his bulging eyes stared down at where the blood-colored longsword had pierced his chest. An incredulous look quickly spread across his face, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his right mouth.

"No! How can this be! Have I... have I been defeated? Am I... going to die? I don’t want to die! I..." Just as the bearded middle-aged man intended to continue speaking, his consciousness receded from his mind like the tide, and his bowing head suddenly dropped.

A Martial Artist from the Tiankun Sect, at the Seven-star Martial Venerate Realm, known only as Guo with the beard-of-eight-characters, had fallen!

"Hehe... Hehehe..." Watching the bearded man whom he had fought so desperately and nearly died to defeat finally slain, Shi Feng let out a gratified chuckle, feeling as if his whole heart had suddenly lightened.

Circulating the Nine Nether Technique and having absorbed the Power of Death and the soul of the bearded man, Shi Feng desired to continue absorbing the blood within the corpse. But in an instant, his consciousness, like a receding tide, rapidly withdrew from his mind; his whole body lightened and collapsed onto the sky-blue ground with a "thump," once again crushing numerous crystals on the ground.

At this moment, without Shi Feng’s control, the Bloodthirsty Sword still implanted in the bearded middle-aged man’s body was flickering continuously with blood-colored light. The Bloodthirsty Sword and the Blood Yin Beast were frenziedly absorbing the blood within the corpse of the Martial Venerate.

As the body had its blood madly drained, it rapidly shriveled up until it became another mummified corpse in the Death Forbidden Land. Then, on the Bloodthirsty Sword, a burst of brilliant blood-colored light fiercely flashed.

"Roar!" Following that, a roar of a fierce beast echoed throughout the land; after absorbing a Seven-star Martial Venerate, the Bloodthirsty Sword and the Blood Yin Beast broke through—With the Bloodthirsty Sword advancing to a Seventh-grade Supreme Mysterious Artifact, and the Blood Yin Beast advancing to a Seventh-stage Venerable Level demon beast!

With a "pu" sound, the Bloodthirsty Sword drew itself out from the desiccated corpse, and with a "thump," the withered body violently fell to the ground after the departure of the sword.

The Bloodthirsty Sword quickly flew back toward Shi Feng, who was lying on the ground. Meanwhile, the Blood Yin Beast manifestation on the sword, which had been vague, had grown from the size of a fist to almost the size of a human head. The blood-red scales that covered its body became more crimson and the enlarged Blood Yin Beast looked even more ferocious and grim.

With a "clang," the Bloodthirsty Sword landed next to Shi Feng and pierced into the sky-blue ground. Soon after, the blood-like glow on it also faded away, and the faint Blood Yin Beast no longer manifested, making it quiet all at once as if it were silently protecting its master.

...

"Mother, where did Big Brother go?" A beautiful mother and daughter pair were slowly flying through the sky-blue void, their gazes sweeping incessantly through the void and even across the ground as they searched.

Apart from searching for Shi Feng, they were also on the hunt for the most important man to them—Chu Yue.

"Big Brother was so badly injured, I don’t know if he’s alright now!" The thought of that rapidly flying figure, constantly scattering fresh blood toward the ground, filled the girl’s face with worry.

"That man is not simple. You need not worry too much about him," the mother comforted her daughter with a soft voice, "He will surely be fine."

"Alright, I hope so," the girl nodded after hearing her mother’s words.

"Eh! Mother, look, in that part of the sky, there seems to be a person sitting there!" Suddenly, the girl let out a soft exclamation as she saw a white figure appear in the sky ahead, sitting cross-legged in the void.

Even though they were at some distance, and despite only seeing the figure’s side, they could tell that it was a woman in white. However, the woman’s long hair, which cascaded down her back like a waterfall, was surprisingly snow-white.

Following her daughter’s gaze, the beautiful woman also quickly saw the white figure. She halted her forward flight and firmly grabbed her daughter by the side, stopping her from flying any further, saying with a serious expression, "This person seems somewhat tied to the Evil Sect. We’d better not approach."

"Alright! It does seem so!" The girl looked at the white figure a few more times and obediently nodded at her mother’s words.

Then, the mother and daughter changed direction and continued their flight, continuing their search for the one they sought, moving away from the distant white figure.

At this moment, the white figure that the pair had deemed somewhat tied to the Evil Sect, suddenly turned their head in the direction the mother and daughter had departed. The eyes that had been tightly closed suddenly opened wide.

Underneath the snow-white hair was an exquisitely beautiful face, pure and untarnished, as if unblemished by the mundane world. Yet, this beautiful face now looked expressionless, showing no sign of emotion, and even the fair skin seemed overly pale!

If Shi Feng were here, he would certainly recognize this beautiful woman. She was the very Yiren he had entered this Death Forbidden Land for, risking his life and going through endless hardships in his search—Yuel Wushuang!
