86: One set of combos to kill instantly!
Thirty miles outside the ruins.
A chilling wind swirled in the air.
A Disciple of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect hovered in the air, his eyes filled with intense resentment. Facing fellow Disciples of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect, he spoke in a deeply sinister voice.
"A few Juniors... for just a few Qi Refining Cultivators, do you really want to fight me to the death?"
"Your Cloud Sea Sword Sect... truly cannot tolerate even a little grievance?"
"If it weren't for this old man's weakness, with my Dao Foundation Realm, suppressing you little brats would be as easy as flipping my hand!"
Across from him,
Several figures dressed in Cloud Sea Sword Sect attire hovered in the air.
Beneath their feet were various Flying Swords.
It was well-known that one could not hover or walk in the air without reaching the Dao Foundation Realm.
However, the Cloud Sea Sword Sect possessed a unique Divine Ability, the Sword Control Technique, which allowed for temporary aerial movement.
At that moment,
These Disciples wore very serious expressions, and some even had eyes filled with intense hatred!
Just a few days prior, a chilling wind had swept through.
A ghostly entity had taken Possession of one of their Senior Brothers, and even used that Junior Brother's Physical Body to kill several other Disciples of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect.
As a Sword Sect, the Cloud Sea Sword Sect was naturally extremely fierce and sharp. When had they ever suffered such an insult?
Moreover, it was their own Senior Brothers who were killed right in front of them.
If word got out... wouldn't that make them a laughingstock?
Therefore, all Disciples of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect put down everything they were doing and relentlessly pursued the ghostly entity that had taken Possession of their Junior Brother, traveling thousands of miles day and night, finally intercepting it here!
They had intercepted this malevolent ghostly entity!
Attempting to suppress and kill it here!
For this trip to the Huangfeng Plains, the Cloud Sea Sword Sect had dispatched a True Disciple to lead the team.
Unlike Qingchi Mountain, most of the True Disciples of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect were direct descendants of Immortal Masters, and of extremely high Aptitude.
Therefore, both their Realm and combat experience made them outstanding among Qi Refining Cultivators.
And the True Disciple leading the team now was a Refining Qi Gengjin Sword Cultivator, standing at the very front of his many Senior Brothers.
His aura was immense and incredibly sharp.
He wielded a famous sword... which was actually a Magical Artifact???
Indeed, his background was extraordinary!
Murong Yunhai's handsome face was filled with indifference.
"Whoever kills a person of my Cloud Sea Sword Sect, my Cloud Sea Sword Sect will fight them to the death!"
"A mere ghostly entity, I don't care about your past or future... if you touch someone from my Cloud Sea Sword Sect, there's only one outcome."
"And that is death!"
"Hand over the immortal Opportunity, and I can leave you a whole corpse!"
"Hmph! You're trying to fool a ghost, aren't you?" the ghostly entity, which had taken Possession of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect Disciple, said sinisterly.
"Either way, I'm going to die. What I can't get, you won't get either!"
"Then die!"
Seeing this, Murong Yunhai no longer wasted words!
His famous sword, Hanyun, slashed out, and amidst the crisp sword hum, Spiritual Qi surged forth!
【Lesser Gengjin Sword Art!】
An incomparably sharp Gengjin Sword Qi tore through the air, assailing the ghostly entity.
The strong wind was ripped apart, and infinite sharpness condensed into a piercing shriek in their ears.
Making people involuntarily cover their ears!
Seeing this, the ghostly entity's eyes flashed with a frustrated expression, but it dared not meet the attack head-on.
It sacrificed an arm, then released a cloud of ghostly mist, fleeing into the distance!
"You just wait for this old man!"
Witnessing this, Murong Yunhai had no choice but to first use his sword to kill the lone souls and wild ghosts within the ghostly mist. He looked in the direction where the ghostly mist had vanished and said coldly.
"Pursue!"
This miserably fleeing ghostly entity was precisely Chasing Life, the Foundation Establishment True Person who had escaped from Immortal Master Hong Tu's hands.
The former Foundation Establishment True Person, Chasing Life.
At this moment, his heart was incredibly depressed.
It was just as the old saying goes: a tiger falls into the plains and is bullied by dogs.
He, a dignified Dao Foundation... was actually being chased and beaten!
His Dao Foundation cultivation was gone, his Divine Abilities could not be used, and the Physical Body and soul he had taken Possession of only had a mere Qi Refining Stage 5 cultivation.
He was simply too weak!
Of course, if it were Cultivators of the same level, or even one or two minor Realms higher, he wouldn't care.
After all, he was once an Immortal Master at the Dao Foundation level.
His combat experience was profound, and he wouldn't be afraid in the slightest.
But unfortunately... he encountered a Gengjin Sword Cultivator, who was also two Realms higher than him!
Among all the arts in the world, in terms of combat prowess, none surpassed Sword Cultivators.
And this Junior was also a Gengjin Sword Cultivator... the best of the Sword Cultivators.
So, even though he had been glorious before... now he could only flee with his head in his hands.
As for the reason he was being pursued, it was because... his greed was truly at fault.
After escaping from Hong Tu's grasp, he dared not delay and fled frantically.
Along the way, he continuously changed and took Possession of different martial artists, Cultivators, and even ordinary Mortals.
Then, his Soul-Snatching Divine Ability reached its limit, and he finally shook off the pursuit from Qingchi Mountain.
Later, Chasing Life encountered people from the Cloud Sea Sword Sect outside a certain ruin.
Originally, he didn't intend to take Possession of anyone from the Cloud Sea Sword Sect, as the reputation of these sword fanatics was indeed well-known.
Even the usually overbearing Qingchi Mountain treated them with courtesy.
But because of a small Opportunity... he changed his mind.
Chasing Life took out a wooden box from hisIn arms.
The wooden box was old, clearly having been stored for an unknown period, with some dust on it.
On its patterns, however, was outlined a mysterious ancient tree, the design exquisite.
Opening the box, an amber-like Medicinal Pill appeared inside.
This was not a Medicinal Pill, nor a heaven and earth treasure... but rather... a Sword Pellet.
Yes, you heard right, it was an incredibly rare Sword Pellet.
The Cloud Sea Sword Sect was so powerful, naturally because of its formidable combat prowess, but what was the source of that formidable combat prowess?
Naturally, it was the Sword Pellet before him.
The reason Chasing Life acted so rashly was, of course, because he wanted to consume the Sword Pellet.
Unlike other Cultivators of the Dao,
For Sword Cultivators to Breakthrough to Dao Foundation, the Sword Pellet was the optimal Material; other heaven and earth treasures were merely secondary for Sword Cultivators to Breakthrough to Dao Foundation.
The Sword Pellet was the core item of a Sword Cultivator. The power a Magical Artifact longsword could unleash, the speed of sword technique comprehension, the casting of arts, and even the rumored Sword Intent, etc., were all inextricably linked to the Sword Pellet before him.
That's why he rashly took Possession of a Disciple of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect.
After killing the Disciple guarding the treasure Opportunity, he escaped.
He had initially thought that his speed was fast enough that these Disciples of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect wouldn't be able to catch him.
But he never expected that Murong Yunhai had a significant background and had mastered the Sword Control Technique, forcefully dragging these Juniors thousands of miles day and night, blocking his path!
Just wanting to kill him, they were still far from qualified!
His motive for seeking the Sword Pellet was also incredibly simple... obviously, trying to accomplish something with a group of incompetent teammates was impossible, so it was better to seize the Sword Pellet, find a place, and take Possession of a Mortal with a Spiritual Root.
Then, he would lie low, and with the Sword Pellet, he could enter various immortal sects and forge his Dao Foundation.
By then, he could make a comeback.
It was just a pity... the ideal was grand, but reality was harsh.
However, there was always a way out. He had been rushing towards this place precisely because he had left a contingency here.
Having lurked in the Yellow Sand Plains for many years, he naturally knew many Opportunities related to the Loulan Ancient Kingdom.
Among them, there was an Opportunity within the ruins not far from his current location.
He hadn't taken it back then; he had simply left it here... as a strategic base, like a cunning rabbit's three burrows.
That Opportunity was called the Great Black Heaven Buddha Mother Puppet Manifestation.
As long as special means were used... the Manifestation could be activated. The Manifestation was made of excellent Materials, impervious to blades and spears; even a Gengjin Sword Cultivator wouldn't be able to break its defense for a while!
By then, he could escape with his life!
Seeing this, his heart settled, and he ran frantically...
Soon, he arrived at the ruins.
But he saw a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Creature.
"Sand Scale Horned Wind Horse? Ninth-Grade? Wild?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Chasing Life's eyes.
"Taking Possession of a Sand Scale Horned Wind Horse is also an option.... At worst, I'll just stop being human."
"When I reach a Mortal city, I'll take Possession of a Mortal again!"
"Right! That's it. The Sand Scale Horned Wind Horse is extremely fast; as long as I take Possession, within three days, I'll be able to leave the Huangfeng Plains. Even these Juniors who practice the Sword Control Technique won't be able to catch up to me!"
"Hahahaha! Indeed, my luck has turned!"
As he darted into the hall... Chasing Life shivered.
"Hiss..."
"Why is it so cold?"
"Wait... who are you?"
"Damn it!"
【Frost Wall!】
【Ice Cicada Art!】
【Ice Cone Art!】
【Little Vajra Technique!】
【Great Art - Rain of Pear Blossoms】
In an instant, Chasing Life's Physical Body, still disoriented, was instantly annihilated.
He was directly... killed by a combo attack?
