Chapter 415: Chapter 414 Battle of Qingyun

Nanluo City, Qingyun Mountain, summit.

The Divine Sovereign Gwu Jihan stood suspended in midair, with two naked women by his side. These women seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, also standing in the air behind Gwu Jihan.

The two women’s expressions were of great suffering; from time to time, a red light flew from their bodies and into Gwu Jihan’s.

Gwu Jihan’s hands continuously formed secret techniques in the air, and powerful forces flew from his hands, turning into runes in the air before rapidly disappearing.

With each secret technique he formed, Gwu Jihan’s hair would turn whiter. However, as the red light from the women entered his body, his hair would darken once again.

This cycle repeated over and over, with Gwu Jihan’s hair constantly shifting between black and white. Yet, the bodies of the two women behind him gradually withered away, as if their very lifeblood was being drained, slowly turning into two dried-up corpses.

"Useless things, be gone!" Gwu Jihan casually waved his hand, sending the two dried corpses plummeting down. Then he ceased to absorb their life-force and continued to form secret techniques in the air.

Finally, when Gwu Jihan’s hair had turned completely white, he cast the last secret technique.

"Arise!" Gwu Jihan bellowed.

Those runes he had cast before but had disappeared, at this moment, all reappeared. They rapidly converged in the air, forming into a giant red tiger that let out a sky-shaking roar.

And as the red tiger appeared, within its belly a person gradually began to emerge.

The appearance of this person was unclear, but a glimpse revealed a white robe, a tall stature, and three long strands of beard. Underfoot stood a longsword, and a sword box was carried on the back.

The runes that formed the red tiger constantly emitted a red light, assaulting the man in white. But no matter how powerful the red light was, it couldn’t shake the man, not in the least.

The man in white stood with his hands behind his back and laughed loudly, "Gwu Jihan, is this the Earthly Immortal Realm you’ve achieved through your sinister secret techniques? Strong as it may be, the foundation is unstable. I fear you won’t survive your second Heavenly Tribulation!"

"If I could survive the first Heavenly Tribulation, how could I possibly not survive the second?" Gwu Jihan shouted, "Besides, if I can kill you, remove this heart demon of mine, and then drink the blood of a Sword Immortal, devour your sword core, my strength will surely skyrocket. By that time, not to mention a second tribulation, even if there are nine Heavenly Tribulations, I could still pass through them!"

"The very thought is representative of your fall into the demonic path. When the Heavenly Tribulation descends, no matter how strong you are, if your heart is not steady, you will inevitably meet the fate of turning to ash and smoke," remarked the man in white.

"Back then in our battle, I saw your strength taking the path of evil. When I defeated you in our early years, my intention was to destroy your demonic heart. If you had given up everything and cultivated anew, it was not impossible for you to enter the Land of Immortals. Regrettably, your demonic heart is too heavy. Your shattered demonic heart has regrown, even more intense than before. Even I, I fear, cannot save you now. Gwu Jihan, let me persuade you with one more word, Bitter Sea is endless; turning back is the shore!"

"Sword Saint Ye, stop talking so prettily about my well-being. You just want to know your daughter’s whereabouts!" Gwu Jihan shouted, "My words remain the same; if you can withstand this Heaven-slaying Divine Art of mine, I will reveal your daughter’s whereabouts. If not, spare me the idle talk!"

The man in white was indeed Ye Jiansheng, he sighed, "Gwu Jihan, this Heaven-slaying Divine Art of yours is of no use against me."

"Then let’s put it to the test!" Gwu Jihan let out a fierce roar, suddenly biting the tip of his tongue and spraying a mouthful of fresh blood onto the red tiger.

"Roar!" The crimson tiger, as if stimulated, let out a mad roar, and its body began to rapidly shrink.

However, the runes did not shrink. On the contrary, the scarlet light of the runes became even more intense, and the power of their attack on Ye Jiansheng grew stronger.

Ye Jiansheng stood in the void, clad in white like snow, fluttering in the wind. No matter how powerful the forces around him were, they could not shake him in the slightest.

Gwu Jihan was not discouraged in the least; he continued to agitate the crimson tiger, making it smaller and smaller.

He certainly knew that this tactic would not kill Ye Jiansheng, but this was not the move intended to kill him. The real killing blow was with Assassination Star.

Assassination Star had been hiding nearby all along, with an unmatched strike ready. Once Gwu Jihan completely sealed all of Ye Jiansheng’s escape routes, Assassination Star would swiftly pounce to deliver the blow, and that unmatched strike was the real killing move!

All the talk before was nonsense, about withstanding that hit and then revealing Ye Wantong’s whereabouts, was actually just a ruse. The purpose was to make Ye Jiansheng give up resistance and then use the Heaven-slaying Divine Art to trap him.

Ye Jiansheng stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly oblivious, allowing the crimson tiger to shrink smaller and smaller while the restraints around him grew ever stronger.

Gwu Jihan was overjoyed in his heart; Ye Jiansheng was now trapped. Next, he just needed to detonate the crimson tiger, and the powerful force inside would shock Ye Jiansheng’s protective sword qi.

And that would be the moment for Assassination Star to make his unmatched strike.

If the protective sword qi were shaken, Assassination Star could strike and kill Ye Jiansheng with one blow!

This move had been discussed and practiced extensively by Gwu Jihan and Assassination Star, waiting for just this opportunity!

Just then, a faint voice came from the foot of the mountain: "Ye Jiansheng! Ye Jiansheng! Ye Wantong is at the May Dragon Head Meeting! Ye Wantong is at the May Dragon Head Meeting!"

The voice must have been distant, so it came through faintly here. However, both Ye Jiansheng and Gwu Jihan in the sky could hear it.

Gwu Jihan’s face changed, and he saw Ye Jiansheng suddenly open his eyes, sensing trouble. Without another word, he bellowed loudly, "Open!"

This was Gwu Jihan’s signal to Assassination Star. At this moment, the crimson tiger in the sky rapidly disintegrated, a powerful force sweeping around, assaulting Ye Jiansheng’s protective sword qi.

And at that moment, a black dot shot out from the bursting light of the tiger, rushing toward Ye Jiansheng and striking directly at him!

Gwu Jihan shouted excitedly as the black dot and Ye Jiansheng collided, "Good!"

But what happened next was completely beyond his expectations. The black dot rapidly shifted, and then swiftly expanded, taking the form of a person—it was Assassination Star.

On closer inspection, the Black Iron Hook in Assassination Star’s hand hadn’t pierced Ye Jiansheng at all. A longsword had appeared in Ye Jiansheng’s hand at some point, its tip perfectly meeting the tip of the hook. In other words, just as Assassination Star launched his unparalleled strike, Ye Jiansheng had exactly pinpointed his position, using his sword tip to block the hook’s tip, thwarting the fatal blow!
