Chapter 884 - 884 80 The Furnaces Counterkill_2

Chapter 884: Chapter 80: The Furnace’s Counterkill_2 Chapter 884: Chapter 80: The Furnace’s Counterkill_2 The Thunder Sword Light had already struck at Lin Ning. Her twin swords were breached and had no time for a counterdefense; she could only try to widen the distance using the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step.

But the opponent’s sword light was faster. Under the disparity of cultivation levels, the nimble advantage of the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step was forcibly nullified by the opponent’s irrational Sword Control speed!

Lin Ning ran with all her might while desperately maneuvering her twin swords to defend, but…

It was too late!

She was going to be killed!

The Coral Tear flew out from the side, hitting the Thunder Sword Light head-on like a rock striking steel, only causing the opponent’s sword light to deviate slightly.

It wasn’t enough!

The distance was still closing rapidly, Lin Ning’s hands moved manically to perform sword techniques, and her feet stepped out countless afterimages. Yet, she felt the breath of death enveloping her like a shadow.

Another sword light flew in; it was Ye Jun’s Tianwen Sword, also striking the point impacted by the Coral Tear, further amplifying the original deviation.

From afar, the black-robed female cultivator’s mouth curled into a smirk, watching Yan Yu who was still in a rush to return, Li Minghu who was desperately entwined with the Hurricane Sword Light, the fleeing Lin Ning, and Su Yunjin and Ye Jun who were trying hard to block the Thunder Sword Light… Her eyes flashed with an increasingly sinister excitement.

Yes! This is the feeling! Desperate, struggling, fiercely battling weaklings, they are the only ones worthy of being crushed to death by me!

Suddenly, she felt a pang of pain on her face, her pupils contracted slightly, and she hastily took a half step back—just in time to dodge the flash attack of the Liangyi Sword.

But that mere moment of avoidance was enough for Lin Ning to recall her Dan Yan and Green Bamboo swords, and the chance to kill her disappeared as well.

Yan Yu, unsuccessful in his surprise attack with the Liangyi Sword, harbored no regrets. Instead, looking at his comrades from afar, his eyes gleamed with contentment and satisfaction.

The capability of the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword to teleport meant that even if he was hurled far by the Hurricane Sword Light, he still had the ability to rescue anyone at any moment.

However, Yun Jin and Ye Jun had performed remarkably, despite facing an absolute powerful enemy who outclassed them in terms of cultivation realm. They still exerted their utmost current level to buy Lin Ning time to escape…

Great, the effect of the live combat training was achieved; there is no need for me to hold back anymore.

He flicked his sleeves slightly and summoned the Puppet Azhen, stepping hurriedly toward the black-robed female cultivator.

“Puppetry Technique?” Surprise and incredulity finally surfaced on the ever-smiling face of the black-robed female cultivator. “You’re not the Kunlun Sword Immortal, who are you?”

Yan Yu did not answer. With the Huangting Kunwu Sword in his left hand, he unleashed an Overlord Splitting Mountains, pressing down heavily; in his right hand, the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword, leveraging the line-like Sword Qi to shuttle rapidly, attacking the enemy’s vital points.

Distracting himself with three tasks, Puppet Azhen moved swiftly forward, astonishingly employing the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step at his feet. With a flicker, he came face-to-face with the black-robed female cultivator, his arms extending two blades aiming for her neck!

The black-robed female cultivator propelled the Hurricane Sword Light to knock away Huang Tingjian; then, turning urgently, she blocked the flashing thrust of the Liangyi Sword. Puppet Azhen seized the opportunity to press forward. With no time to pivot the sword light, she had to retreat again, dodging Azhen’s cross-cutting sleeve blades, raging in her heart.

She considered herself to be vastly superior to the young adversaries across from her in terms of cultivation. But being forced to retreat by their multitasking and high-frequency attacks, how could she not feel immense humiliation? It was like having her skin peeled off, thrown to the ground, then trampled viciously with the heel of a shoe!

Ah! I’m going to kill you, you bastard! I’m going to carve your flesh off of your bones inch by inch, then grind it all to feed the dogs!

The black-robed female cultivator could no longer contain herself and didn’t even pay attention to Lin Ning anymore. She abruptly withdrew the Thunder Sword Light at full speed.

Using the Hurricane Sword Light to fend off Puppet Azhen and sidestepping a second flashing thrust of the Liangyi Sword, she then controlled both the Hurricane Sword Light and the Thunder Sword Light to merge. The two sword lights surged simultaneously, the dark blue and deep purple rapidly interweaving, quickly turning into a nearly chaotic violent hue.

Wind and Thunder Combined! I’m going to slaughter you!

The mighty wind and thunder spiral sword light charged at Yan Yu. The gales howled, thunder roared, and the terrifying shockwaves shattered the plaza tiles below, creating exaggerated three-foot-deep furrows.

The girls quickly fired their Flying Swords to support, with Lin Ning even becoming one with her sword, not caring if it was too late or if she could catch up… in any case, she just had to dash madly to rescue!

But the wind and thunder spiral sword light was indeed too fast! Lin Ning had just merged with the sword light when it was already upon Yan Yu, about to envelop him. With his current cultivation at the Hua Mansion Stage, even if he activated a defensive Magic Treasure like the Tai Qing Smoke, he had no chance of withstanding it and was left with no choice but to be crushed into nothingness without surprise!

“`

Die!

The black-robed female cultivator roared in her heart, but saw Yan Yu raise a finger.

Right index finger.

The moment her fingertip touched the Wind Thunder Spiral Sword Light, it suddenly lit up with a glow.

Just a firefly-like luminescence, yet like a finely-crafted steel sword, it effortlessly sliced the Wind Thunder Spiral Sword Light in two, piercing through the body of the black-robed female cultivator merged with the sword light, and without losing any momentum, struck the distant Immortal Divine Palace, severing its roof along with the mountains, bifurcating everything in half!

The girls all stopped their Sword Control, faces blank with astonishment.

“Have you forgotten?” Yan Yu calmly retracted her finger and blew on it, “I am a Sword Holder of Lu Country.”

The crowd: ……

The black-robed female cultivator took a direct hit of Sun True Dullness Sword Qi to the face, and unbelievably didn’t vanish into ashes on the spot. Instead, everything below her neck completely disappeared, leaving only her head, her face showing an incredulous expression as she screamed:

“Impossible! This is… Sun True Dullness… How is it possible? It should not be! The Sun True Dullness was surely taken away by the last Sect Leader of the Emei Sword Sect! Why do you…”

“Shut up!” Yan Yu stomped on her face, “What are you to judge me?”

“Woo woo woo, wah wah wah, gurgling!” The black-robed female cultivator’s mouth was buried in the soil, unable to speak, issuing only muffled and humiliated noises.

“Yan Yu,” Su Yunjin reminded, “should we ask where Treasure Rock is?”

“Heh.” Yan Yu picked the black-robed female cultivator up by her hair, lifting her head, and demanded, “Where is Kunlun Sect’s Treasure Rock? Take us there now!”

The black-robed female cultivator: ???

Aren’t you Sword Immortals of the Kunlun Sect? Why would you even need to ask me where Treasure Rock is?

Thinking of her possessing Sun True Dullness Sword Qi, an idea suddenly sparked in her mind.

The last Sect Leader, Chen Yanwei, had left the sect because he had lost all hope for the future of the Emei Sword Sect. His judgment wasn’t wrong; after all, the Emei Sword Sect had several ups and downs and eventually the lineage was completely severed. Now there was nothing left but an empty shell of a Sword Sect, the inside already filled with bastardized practices that had nothing to do with the original Emei Sword Sect.

Thus, she quickly shouted:

“My lord! Do you wish to reclaim the name and honor of the Emei Sword Sect? I, too, am a renegade of the Emei Sword Sect! Let’s first plunder the Kunlun Sect and then turn our swords towards the Emei Sword Sect to revive the glory of the old Sword Sect, victory is within reach!”

Yan Yu’s eyebrows twitched slightly; although somewhat baffled, she did not correct the misunderstanding, simply stating:

“Then hurry up and guide us!”

“Uh.” The black-robed female cultivator paused, then suddenly asked, “Could you please allow me to restore my body so I can guide you better…”

“Shut up, you’re not in a position to negotiate with me!”

“Lord, spare my life, I know I’m wrong!” The black-robed female cultivator quickly corrected herself, “Treasure Rock is through the main hall here, then to the right, down the path, but one must be wary of Kunlun’s strict defenses… oh, Lord, now disguised as a Kunlun Sword Immortal, doesn’t need to worry about that…”

“Stop blabbering!” Yan Yu tossed her head to Lin Ning, saying, “Ningning, keep an eye on her, any strange moves, decapitate!”

Lin Ning fumbled with the head, thinking this person didn’t die even with her head chopped off, what could I possibly decapitate?

Her brain?

But she couldn’t show weakness, so she simply lined up two fingers of her right hand, charging an Impact Curse without releasing it, aiming for the black-robed female cultivator’s brow, as if searching for a place to slice.
