CBGC - ch135.2

2/2

The Qilian Mountain Range is notorious in the cultivation world as a terrifying place where once you go in, you may not come out. It's highly unlikely that so many people would willingly risk their lives to venture deep into these mountains. It stands to reason that these individuals didn't die recently. However, the climate here is hot and dry, even in the dim surroundings, the temperature is extremely high, like the ground is on fire. In such conditions, corpses should decay rapidly.

Could it be that these numerous corpses have not fully decayed, after piling up here for so many years, due to some kind of formation?

Who could have been so audacious as to create such an appalling formation, and what is its purpose? The Beauty Scroll brought Zhang Zhizi here during their escape. Could this be related to the Scroll's previous owner?

Just as Su Tingyun is proceeding forward while deep in her thoughts, her Springwater Sword suddenly emits a soft sound and slips out of her control, transforming into a faint blue afterimage and flying ahead.

It must be the Springwater Sword sensing Little Uncle!

Su Tingyun doesn't stop her steps; she follows the Springwater Sword as it flies ahead. Before long, she catches sight of Little Uncle's silhouette.

In front of him are two enormous stones. The stones are of the same material as the strange rock at the entrance of the Obliteration Sword Tower's main hall, and they feel remarkably similar to human beings. The two stones are pressed closely together, forming a narrow gap about the width of one person. Inside, it's pitch black, resembling a gaping maw of a monstrous creature.

Little Uncle stands directly in front of the gap, holding the broken broadsword upside down in his right hand. At this moment, the broadsword is dripping with blood...

The fresh blood soaks the dry and hard soil at his feet, turning that area a crimson red.

The Springwater Sword flies directly toward Yan Yuqing, and Su Tingyun reaches out and grabs the hilt as it flies past. However, she can't control her body, and the flying sword drags her forward. She digs her feet on the ground, and her feet leave deep footprints on the soil, carving two deep grooves.

"He's a victim too." Little Uncle is only a little over three hundred years old, raised by Elder Yan. There's no way he could be the sword cultivator who sealed that young dragon tens of thousands of years ago!

But at this moment, Little Uncle suddenly turns around, and he directly slashes with the broken sword. Blood splatters from the blade, and each drop carries immense killing intent.

Initially, Su Tingyun wanted to stop the Springwater Sword from attacking Little Uncle. But at that moment, her pupils constrict, and her spiritual energy operates at it's maximum. She instantly uses the Haoran Zhenqi Technique to deflect the blood drops brimming with endless murderous intentions. However, the broken sword breaks through everything, heading directly for her heart.

The power of this strike far exceeds Yan Yuqing's cultivation of Nascent Soul, giving the illusion of a blow that could pierce the heavens and slay gods. Su Tingyun is reminded of the golden-eyed Dragon that was slain with a single sword on that snowy mountain.

This sword is filled with raging murderous intent, as if the shouts of millions of people are roaring in unison, "Kill!"

She's no match for it.

Su Tingyun rallies her spiritual energy to operate to its limits, forming a strong barrier that protects her entire body. She even quickly retrieves Big Bai's old skin.

Although the Springwater Sword isn't severed, its blade stance is forcefully opened. The broken broadsword pierces through her spiritual energy barrier, then stabs straight into Big Bai's skin, leaving a deep sword mark on it.

Big Bai's old hide that had even withstood Heavenly Thunder was nearly pierced by a single sword strike. If it weren't for this shed skin, Su Tingyun would have undoubtedly suffered severe injuries.

Big Bai and Little Bai make a ruckus from inside her ring, expressing their desire to come out and fight. However, in this moment, Su Tingyun will not allow them to take such risks.

She takes a deep breath and looks at Little Uncle, who hasn't moved after that strike, "Who are you?" She places the Springwater Sword horizontally in front of her and sternly demands, "Get out of his body."

But he slowly raises his eyelids, and expressionlessly says, "I am Yan Yuqing."

I am who I am, I am Yan Yuqing.
