117: Chapter 117 Mission to Annihilate a Sect

"As expected of the Immaculate Sword Body, truly an extraordinary spirit." The leader of the Man in black nodded slowly.

He then turned his head and sternly ordered his subordinates.

"Attack! Whoever dares to flee from battle, death without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his blade and charged out first.

The Man in black behind him followed closely, their dense figures instantly surrounding them, filled with Killing Intent.

"Hmph!" Xiahou Yun let out a cold snort.

The long sword in her hand trembled slightly, emitting a clear, melodious sword chime.

Although surrounded by the group of the Man in black, the Sword Intent around her did not weaken in the slightest.

Xiang Tian stood by her side, his brows furrowed tightly.

He whispered a persuasion: "Xiahou Yun, if we really can't win, let's retreat; there's no need to force it."

"These small fries are not enough to do anything to me." Xiahou Yun said in an indifferent tone.

Battle Intent burned in her eyes.

Xiang Tian was speechless to himself, his gaze falling on her slightly trembling hand.

She was acting tough again.

Oh well, let her have her way this time.

Anyway, with the System here, no matter how dangerous the battle was, Xiahou Yun would never be in mortal danger.

At most, she would suffer some flesh wounds.

"Flying Sword Style!" Xiahou Yun tapped her toes, and her figure soared into the air.

The long sword in her hand swept out horizontally, and the fierce Sword Qi surged like a stream of silk.

"Bang~"

The air waves swept in all directions.

The Man in black waved their blades to block, the crisp sound of metal clashing ringing endlessly.

A surge of majestic Sword Intent shook them, causing them all to take half a step back, each with a grave expression.

"This woman's Sword Qi is actually this strong!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

When Xiahou Yun landed, she was as steady as Mount Tai, her fluttering sleeves fully displaying the grace of a sword practitioner.

Xiang Tian watched from the side, his eyes lighting up, and he exclaimed sincerely.

"As expected of my wife!"

"You are seeking your own deaths, so don't blame me." Xiahou Yun's eyes turned cold, and her long sword was unsheathed once more.

"Clang——"

The tip of the sword pointed directly at the leader of the Man in black, stabbing forward swiftly.

The captain of the Man in black reacted extremely quickly, hastily waving his blade to block.

However, he was shaken by the Sword Qi, his arm numbing, and he retreated repeatedly.

Being suppressed twice in a row, the situation was already precarious.

A Man in black hurriedly shouted: "Captain, use the Explosive Qi Medicinal Pill!"

"Yes, Captain, don't hesitate! We will take them together and join forces to break the deadlock!" another Man in black echoed.

"Even if there are side effects, we can just find a hidden place to hide afterwards; it's better than losing our lives now!"

The crowd echoed one after another, their expressions urgent.

The captain of the Man in black frowned, his expression hesitant.

He knew well that the forces in this forest were intricate and complex.

Although the Explosive Qi Medicinal Pill could rapidly increase strength for a short time, it would leave behind a period of weakness.

If other forces took advantage of the situation, they would be working in vain for others.

But the current situation was urgent, and he could not afford to overthink it.

"Captain, if we drag this on any longer, we will all die!" Another urgent voice sounded.

Just at this moment, Xiahou Yun's voice came again.

"Falling Sword Style!"

Majestic Sword Qi swept out like a tidal wave.

"Bang!"

The formation of the Man in black was completely disrupted, and the entire team was shaken back dozens of steps.

Many spat out blood, their breath chaotic.

"Fine! Use it!" The captain of the Man in black gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Everyone took out a crimson Medicinal Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

In an instant.

Crimson Spiritual Qi erupted from their bodies, and their Aura surged.

The air was dyed a deep red, and a sense of oppression swept across the entire scene.

"Hmm?" Xiahou Yun's delicate brows furrowed, and her heart sank.

Subconsciously, she tightened her grip on Xiang Tian's hand.

She could clearly sense that the strength of these Man in black had actually increased by a large margin, far exceeding what it was before.

Xiang Tian also sensed this terrifying Aura, and his expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly pulled her and said: "Xiahou Yun, run! You can't block this Aura at all!"

"Just right, I'll use them to temper my Sword Intent."

In Xiahou Yun's eyes, there was not only no fear, but a blazing Battle Intent instead.

Her hand gripping the long sword became even firmer.

Xiang Tian rolled his eyes significantly, secretly complaining to himself.

This woman, she was simply going to drag him to his death along with her!

"Brothers, channel your Spiritual Qi into me!" The captain of the Man in black shouted, and the crimson Spiritual Qi around his body surged.

The other Man in black nodded one after another.

They channeled all their Spiritual Qi out, pouring it into the captain continuously.

"Hahaha! Good! This power is comparable to the Peak of the Martial Emperor Realm!" The captain felt the surging power within him and laughed wildly.

The large saber in his hand hummed, and the crimson Saber Qi expanded crazily.

In an instant, it turned into a giant blade hundreds of meters long, blotting out the sky and sun.

"Take this blade!" He roared angrily.

The giant blade carried the momentum of destroying heaven and earth as it slashed down fiercely towards Xiahou Yun.

This strike had no frills; it was a full-force attack that gathered the Spiritual Qi of everyone.

Wherever the Saber Qi passed, the space trembled violently, emitting a "rumbling" sound.

It was as if it were about to be torn apart.

Xiang Tian gasped, his heart shocked to the extreme.

This was simply going to destroy heaven and earth!

No wonder back at the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Changlin said their own conflicts were just minor squabbles.

In contrast, Xiahou Yun still had high Battle Intent.

The excitement in her eyes was undisguised.

Seeing this, Xiang Tian shook his head helplessly.

He could only prepare himself for contingencies secretly.

"Retreating Sword Style!" Xiahou Yun gave a light shout, and her long sword danced out layers of sword flowers.

A white Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, soared into the sky and collided violently with the crimson giant blade.

"Bang——Rumble!"

The moment the two terrifying forces collided.

A huge energy shockwave swept out, and the surrounding trees were instantly ground into powder.

The ground collapsed into a huge deep pit.

Xiang Tian felt scorching hot all over, as if he would be melted in the next second, and his consciousness was a bit blurred.

But the next moment.

The sense of oppression around him suddenly disappeared, replaced by a soft warmth.

He opened his eyes to see that it was Xiahou Yun holding him tightly in her arms.

The two were speeding towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Their figures had already achieved a Breakthrough of the sound barrier, and only the whistling wind remained in their ears.

"Xiahou Yun, you finally wised up and knew to escape first." Xiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, his hanging heart finally letting go.

Xiahou Yun ignored him, focusing only on speeding at full power, her speed astonishingly fast.

Before long.

The two landed at the entrance of a hidden cave.

As soon as she stepped into the cave, Xiahou Yun backhanded a concealment array, cutting off the Aura from the outside world.

Then her body went limp.

"Pfft——"

She spat out a mouthful of blood, closed her eyes, and fainted.

Xiang Tian was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, and he quickly caught her.

He exclaimed: "Xiahou Yun!"

Looking at her pale face, he was both angry and anxious.

This woman was just too reckless.

He hurriedly checked her injuries, his fingertips touching her pulse.

Her blood and Qi were surging inside, and her Meridians were damaged in many places.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn, she's so badly hurt!"

He hurriedly redeemed a soft bed from the System space and carefully placed Xiahou Yun on it.

Then he shouted: "System, come out and work!"

[Host, this is the Immaculate Sword Body of the Martial Emperor Realm; your meager System balance probably won't be enough.]

The System turned into a charming young girl, floated to the bedside, and spread her hands.

"Cut the crap, what are the conditions to save her, just say it." How could Xiang Tian not know the System's intentions?

It wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he could only suppress his temper and ask.

[The Host's awareness is quite high.]

The System chuckled.

[The mission is simple: destroy the Yinshi Sect.]

"Damn you! Why don't you just let me die?" Xiang Tian was both shocked and furious, shouting out loud.

He couldn't even beat the ordinary Disciple of the Yinshi Sect, and it wanted him to destroy the sect?

[A mere continental force, how strong can it be?] The System's tone was flat and indifferent.

Xiang Tian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He said in a deep voice: "How long?"

[Within one year.]

"Within one year?" Xiang Tian rubbed his chin, his eyes flickering slightly.

After careful consideration, this mission didn't seem completely impossible to complete.

Could the System be trying to use this to polish him into a hero?

[Host, have you considered it? Do you accept the mission?]

"Accept!" Xiang Tian replied without hesitation.

[Very good.]

The System nodded, pretending to be serious.

Then it raised its slender jade finger and tapped it gently on Xiahou Yun's forehead.

A warm white light overflowed from the fingertip.

It spread from her forehead to her whole body, instantly sweeping through her limbs and bones.

In just a few breaths.

Xiahou Yun's chaotic Aura gradually stabilized, and her complexion slowly regained its rosy color.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, obviously about to wake up.

Xiang Tian watched with envy.

He hurriedly asked: "System, what kind of healing technique is this? Can I learn it?"

Such a Heaven-Defying recovery technique, if he could master it, would be an extra layer of protection in the future.

[You want to learn?]

The System raised its eyebrows, its tone playful.

"Want! Of course I want to!" Xiang Tian nodded heavily.

[Just pay 100 million face-slapping points.]

"Damn!" Xiang Tian swore on the spot, wishing he could rush up and beat the System.

"You're messing with me!"

His current points weren't even enough for the remainder; this was simply unattainable.

[Your wife is awake.]

The System chuckled, its figure flashed, and it disappeared without a trace.

Xiang Tian hurriedly sat by the bed and held Xiahou Yun's hand tightly.

He asked with concern: "Xiahou Yun, how do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

Xiahou Yun slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still a bit dazed.

She moved her fingers, feeling the stable Aura in her body.

She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "My injuries... how did they heal so quickly?"

She suddenly remembered the scene of the last healing, and her face flushed slightly.

She hurriedly lowered her head to check her clothes, and seeing that her clothes were intact, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still looked at Xiang Tian with some scrutiny.

Seeing this, Xiang Tian had black lines all over his head.

He said helplessly: "Xiahou Yun, do you see me as a villain who takes advantage of people?"

"Aren't you?" Xiahou Yun raised her eyebrows and asked back.

This sentence almost made Xiang Tian spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He said with a wry smile: "Can we get along properly?"

Seeing his embarrassed face.

The corners of Xiahou Yun's mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint but moving smile.

It dispelled the previous coldness and added a touch of softness.
