Chapter 107: The Sister Apprentice Descends from the Heavens!

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Sister Apprentice Descends from the Heavens!

Taking advantage of the assassin’s momentary distraction by the cry of the great Roc, Liang Yi bit down hard, controlling his body to move forward a short distance, forcibly avoiding the fate of having his heart pierced through.

Yet even so, the sword followed him like a bone-maggot, piercing through Liang Yi’s abdomen.

"Cough, cough!"

While coughing violently, Liang Yi quickly put the dessert back in the backpack to prevent the fresh blood he spat out from soiling it.

Looking at the masked assassin slowly withdrawing the sword, Liang Yi was sweating bullets from the pain, gasping deeply, and his eyes twitching involuntarily. This wasn’t a game anymore; there was no pain suppression to speak of.

Being stabbed through the abdomen, Liang Yi had only seen such scenes in TV dramas in his previous life, never expecting it to actually happen to him today.

It was also lucky that he had raised his Qinglian Creation to the Fourth Realm; otherwise, the entry of the sword would have resulted in more than just an additional wound, as the rampant Mana would have torn him to shreds.

Qinglian Creation constantly absorbed spiritual power from the air, converting it into vitality that poured into the wound. Most of the vitality was consumed by the continuous damage caused by the peculiar swordsmanship, with only a small part laboring to heal the injuries.

"The difference in realms is still too great," Liang Yi couldn’t help but think to himself. He was only level 25 at the moment, while this assassin must be at least level 51, right? Which son of a bitch was so cruel, daring to make a move right in Qingliang City?

"Who are you, sir? Now that things have come to this, can you let me die with my eyes open?" Although Liang Yi’s face was as pale as paper, seemingly on the verge of death at any moment, he still remained composed and dignified.

He even tried to lure the opponent into making the "villain dies from talking too much" move.

The assassin, while surprised at Liang Yi’s ability to dodge his first strike and his calmness in the face of death, still completely ignored Liang Yi, drawing his dark longsword, preparing to end Liang Yi’s life quickly and return to report.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to send a stronger expert who could kill with one strike; it was because those experts in the sect were needed to counter Qingliang City’s reinforcements.

So they could only send him, Liu Su, who was the most skilled at assassination, to come here; but who would have thought Liang Yi would turn out to be a prodigious talent! True to the name of a Banished Immortal’s disciple, he managed to avoid the fatal blow with just his Second Realm cultivation, and that alone was enough to make him famous throughout the world!

"Ah, what a waste!"

Looking at the raised longsword, Liang Yi let out a low sigh. His consciousness at this moment was focused on the Immaculate Sword Jade in the first slot of the backpack.

Had he not wanted to see if he could get some information, he could have made the assassin vanish into smoke and dust the moment he dodged the fatal strike.

Just as Liu Su was puzzled about what Liang Yi was saying, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked up at the sky, speeding up the descent of his longsword!

Liang Yi silently laughed out, as a beautiful figure descended from the sky shrouded in colorful dawn light!

"Get away from my senior brother!!!"

The young girl’s furious shout sounded like thunder, her Fourth Realm cultivation bursting forth. The Immaculate Sword Technique transformed into colorful dawn lights, sweeping the assassin aside with force!

"Boom!"

Liu Su’s body was directly cleaved into the wall, the loud noise attracting a crowd of onlookers.

The Daoist Sect’s supreme movement technique, Carefree Travel, was fully unleashed. Merging the great Roc with the vast Kunpeng, it formed the ultimate Kunpeng! The movement technique carried with it the Roc’s immense speed of shrinking distances to a hair’s breadth, combined with the Kunpeng’s mighty power that could overturn seas!

In her rage, Su Youyi’s longsword became ever faster, freely displaying the Immaculate Sword Technique. Although it was a fight containing endless killing intent, to Liang Yi who was watching from the side, the swordsmanship being performed by his junior sister actually possessed a vague beauty.

If one were able to ignore the overwhelming killing intent, Su Youyi was surrounded by whirling colors of dawn light. Saying it was swordsmanship, it more resembled a sword dance, capturing the transfixed gaze of Liang Yi, who was now slouched on the ground, utterly enchanted.

Liu Su, forced into consecutive retreats, was inwardly cursing his luck. According to his assassination style, he would have normally withdrawn immediately after the first strike failed, then slowly looked for another opportunity. But this time, having received a death order to kill Liang Yi, he was compelled to break his own rules and go for a second sword strike.

To his dismay, Su Youyi arrived much too quickly!

"Are those idiots in the sect just eating their heads off?" Liu Su was somewhat annoyed, blaming the incompetence of his sect, and also because he was being pushed to this extent by a Fourth Realm cultivator.

But he knew this was Qingliang City. At the beginning, perhaps no experts were drawn to the commotion because the sect members were able to keep it contained, but if more time dragged on, even nine lives would not be enough for them all!

Liu Su was secretly anxious, wanting to shake off the tenacious Su Youyi and make a quick escape.

If Liang Yi was the first to sense the fatal danger, then Su Youyi was the second.

While cultivating in the room, Su Youyi suddenly felt an intense panic and palpitations well up from the bottom of her heart. At the peak of this sensation, Su Youyi even faintly envisioned her senior brother being pierced through the heart by a sword.

In her extreme panic, Su Youyi had no time to respond to He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing’s calls. She used the Daoist Skill "No Such Sound in the Hometown" and rushed at full speed toward the direction her intuition pointed her to, and ultimately arrived in time to not witness a scene that she would have regretted for a lifetime.

After venting her fury, Su Youyi gradually regained her composure and realized that the assassin she was facing was no ordinary individual. Even though she had driven him to a sorry state, with death merely a hair’s breadth away, he had constantly avoided fatal blows, showing his amazing sensitivity to life-and-death crises.

What also puzzled Su Youyi was that, for some reason, her Immaculate Sword Technique seemed much more powerful than usual, allowing her to easily oppress a Fifth Realm cultivator despite being of a lower realm.

Liang Yi, on the sidelines, was not idle either. After using the Qinglian Creation to remove the continuous injuries inflicted by the assassin’s tricky swordsmanship, he quickly took a Moon Cold Spirit Pill to stop the bleeding in his abdomen.

Watching his junior sister fiercely fighting with the assassin from a distance, Liang Yi observed for a while and realized there was nothing to worry about. He chose not to get close and decided to stay at the edge and support. Since it wasn’t his turn to take the stage, he would honestly play a supporting role.

He took out the Immaculate Sword Jade, and its aura locked onto the assassin.

Liu Su’s body suddenly twitched, and his sensitive nature picked up a sense of life and death, sending a tingling sensation from his tailbone all the way to his brain.

"What is that?"

Liu Su turned his head and saw Liang Yi not far away, smiling and waving at him, holding a piece of jade in his hand. The sense of life and death crisis originated from that jade.

Only then did he realize that even if he had pierced Liang Yi’s heart with a sword, Liang Yi could still drag him down with him at the brink of death.

Liang Yi was not done yet. Sitting on the ground, he performed the Daoist Skill "Xiao Xiang Night Rain", altering the local weather and manipulating the rainwater to form Rain Swords. He used these Rain Swords to execute the Immaculate Sword Technique, catching Liu Su off guard in a perfectly complementary cooperation with his junior sister.

Moreover, when Liang Yi used the Rain Swords to perform the Immaculate Sword Technique to attack Liu Su, he once again felt the sensation of his power doubling, although the doubly powerful Rain Sword could only just manage to penetrate his defenses.

This was because Liu Su favored high offense and low defense, aiming for maximizing damage, which meant a normal Fifth Realm Liang Yi couldn’t even break through his defenses. Exhausted from the relentless attacks of his junior sister, Liu Su could hardly catch his breath to heal the wounds on his body, only to see more and more minor cuts accumulating on his body.

Although the actual damage inflicted was not high, it appeared extremely terrifying.

"Boom!!!"

At that moment, a muffled sound of a horn came.

Hearing this sound, Liu Su’s expression turned sorrowful, and he let out a wry smile. His fighting style abruptly changed, and he began to fight desperately.

The sound of the horn meant that the other members of the sect couldn’t hold out any longer and had to withdraw first, telling him to fend for himself!

In other words, he had been abandoned!
