Chapter 724: Chapter 382: Iron Ridge Sky Cave, Wisdom Sword Slays Demons_2
The duty rotation was much longer than the time of the Shao Family's experts.
The Sect Master's visit was perhaps guilt-ridden, replacing him to temporarily guard for a few days.
Moreover, with the Sect Master's strength surpassing his, there naturally wouldn't be any issues with the Sect Master guarding this place.
In the depths of the Heavenly Grotto, only Master Wei remained.
He took out a Netherworld Blood Orb and threw it towards the blood membrane above, where the Blood Orb then merged into the membrane.
"Are the arrangements complete?"
After a while, a chilly voice came through.
"My Lord, everything has been arranged properly,"
Master Wei said solemnly.
"Very good!"
Amidst the blood mist, a blood-colored figure descended from within the blood membrane.
This Blood Disciple had pale red skin and a slightly white complexion, and his slender fingers were like steel claws, emitting a faint cold light.
His aura was incredibly powerful, although not quite on par with Xuezhi, yet comparable to the pinnacle of True King Heavenly Venerables.
"You've done well!"
The Blood Disciple nodded approvingly at Master Wei.
"Serving My Lord is my honor!"
Master Wei bowed deeply in respect.
"Let's go."
"Yes, My Lord, but to avoid revealing our tracks, please put on this armor,"
Master Wei said, taking out a set of armor he had prepared beforehand and handing it to the Blood Disciple.
After donning the armor, the Blood Disciple was fully enveloped in it, only his eyes visible. However, to deceive the other Martial Artists guarding the Heavenly Grotto with just this would not suffice.
"My Lord, please wait a moment while I send the people away."
Approaching the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto, Master Wei whispered.
"Hmm!"
The Blood Disciple responded with a sound.
Rushing to the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto, Master Wei looked at the guarding elder and said, "The Qimen Institute from Da Yue Country is coming today to set up some Formation. Take men to meet them a hundred miles away. I can guard here on my own."
The elder was startled and said, "Sect Master, shouldn't you lead the team…"
"I don't want to see the Shao Family's ugly faces!"
Anger was hidden in Master Wei's low voice.
"If that is the case, I will take people there," the elder said helplessly.
Since the Sect Master had been humiliated by the Shao Family, his temper had grown volatile.
To their regret, the Sect's strength had declined, and they couldn't reclaim their pride for the time being.
The elder, taking a few Condensation Law Heavenly Venerables with him, left, leaving only a small number of them guarding the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto. Master Wei took a look but wasn't concerned.
"My Lord, it's clear now. Those few people at the entrance are your Blood Nourishment," Master Wei said, smiling at the side of the Blood Disciple.
"Good, very good, consider this a merit for you," the Blood Disciple said joyfully.
Suddenly, the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerables guarding the Heavenly Grotto had their expression change, raising their heads towards the incoming figure clad in armor.
"A Netherworld Blood Disciple!"
"Sect Master, what is this?"
Everyone was stunned. Had the Sect Master betrayed them and turned to the Netherworld?
Boom!
The Blood Disciple made his move, his fingernails, like steel claws, suddenly burst forth with a crimson light, grabbing several Condensation Law Heavenly Venerables at once.
"Ah! The Sect Master has betrayed us!"
A Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable roared angrily, attempting to send the message further out.
"Hmph!"
Master Wei snorted coldly, his True King Heavenly Venerable power already covering all directions, preventing the sound from escaping.
"Hehe, a fine blood meal."
The Blood Disciple laughed coldly, his claws suddenly lunging at one person's chest as if trying to dig out his heart.
Hum!
Suddenly, a black sword light slashed out from that person's hand.
This sword seemed capable of annihilating everything, unparallelled in its sharpness, unmatched in its lethality.
The sudden turn of events greatly changed the Blood Disciple's expression. Blood light surged on his body, and his form shook as he tried to block or evade the sword strike.
However, the sword was too fast, too unexpected.
A mere Condensation Law Realm warrior - he had never taken him seriously, hence he was unguarded. By the time the sword struck, it was already too late for him to react.
Pff!
The Supreme Heavenly Sword, eradicating all!
Xu Yan's fully prepared strike instantly killed the Blood Disciple!
He then raised his hand and struck a palm; the fiery red palm force, like the fire of the sun, directly obliterated the disintegrating corpse of the Blood Disciple, leaving not even ashes behind.
Caught off guard by the turn of events, Master Wei was shocked, feeling a tingling on his scalp. That sword's sharpness was like nothing he had ever seen before.
If such a sword were to be used against him, death was certain!
At this moment, his heart sank; he had exposed himself!
The Blood Disciple was killed!
"Sect Master, I never imagined you would actually betray us!"
At this moment, the guardian True King, who should have left, appeared in the Heavenly Cave, his expression furious, gritting his teeth in anger.
"You all knew already?"
Master Wei responded with a bitter smile.
"If it weren't for this young brother, you would have deceived us!"
An elder said coldly.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say, let's fight!"
Master Wei took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly fierce, and he struck out at Xu Yan with a palm.
"Who are you!"
In front of Xu Yan, the Yin Yang Undying Sword cycled endlessly, and he said indifferently, "Sword God Xu Yan!"
"You've foiled my grand plan; today, I must kill you!"
Master Wei said uncontrollably angry.
"Sect Master, you are stubborn to the extreme!"
The two elders guarding the Heavenly Cave took action and jointly attacked Master Wei.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Heavenly Cave shook, blood light blossomed in the depths, and a series of bloody figures descended.
The Netherworld had invaded.
"Quickly send a message for reinforcements; the Iron Ridge Heavenly Cave has been invaded by enemies from the Netherworld!"
An elder said in a deep voice.
"Elder, the message has already been sent out."
At the entrance of the Heavenly Cave, a Martial Artist responded.
"I'll go suppress the Netherworld invaders."
Xu Yan moved, heading deep into the Heavenly Cave, and with a palm-lift, a dragon's roar sounded, a Golden Giant Dragon roaring as it charged toward the descending bloody figures.
Boom!
Great battle erupted.
Seeing the endless appearance of Blood Slaves and even a Blood Disciple, Xu Yan was invigorated, his eyes brimming with battle intent.
"This is a perfect chance to hone my Divine Skills!"
In an instant, mountains and rivers appeared, Mountains and Rivers in the Sword!
True Dragon Rage, Supreme Heavenly Sword, Great Sky Hand... Several Divine Skills were used at the same time, one person holding off the invading Netherworld Army.
One after another, Blood Slaves were slaughtered in the sword light, and even that Blood Disciple felt threatened, his crimson long knife slashing repeatedly but unable to wound Xu Yan in the slightest.
Behind, the two elders who were attacking Master Wei were still at a disadvantage; amidst the great battle, all three were shocked. What kind of Martial Arts was this?
It was too powerful.
.net
A young man alone, fighting the enemies from the Netherworld without falling behind.
Xu Yan became more and more excited as he fought, growing stronger and stronger; amidst his boiling passion, it was as if he had gained a new understanding of Martial Arts, Divine Skills, and the way of killing.
"This is my path, the path to being unrivaled."
Xu Yan reflected deeply in his heart.
Hum!
At a certain moment, a sword slashed out, and the sword light in midair, as if having its own spiritual wisdom, turned a corner, bypassing the Blood Disciple's defense, piercing into the shoulder of the Blood Disciple from behind.
Splurt!
Blood sputtered as the Blood Disciple wore an expression of shock. A sword with spirit?
What kind of Sword Dao was this?
At a certain moment, a dragon's roar sounded; this roar was somewhat different from the previous ones.
It was as if it held a form of spirituality.
The Golden Giant Dragon's piercing eyes exuded divine might; it raised a dragon claw and fiercely struck, with lightning appearing on its claw, it then shifted its position as though it wasn't just a force of palm but a real True Dragon.
Xu Yan closed his eyes slightly; sword light continuously surged from his hand, each strand seemingly executing a form of Swordsmanship, as if it could fight on its own.
Roar!
Another Golden Giant Dragon roared forth, slaughtering into the Blood Slaves and even diving up, striking the blood membrane, directly annihilating the Blood Slaves that had yet to descend.
"This is the marvel of the Wisdom Sword indeed!"
Xu Yan was absorbed in his profound understandings, and the mysteries of the Wisdom Sword Realm continued to emerge.
Above the Spirit Pedestal, the Primordial Spirit held a sword, and the invisible Sword Intent appeared to spread throughout the Spirit Pedestal, forming a profound state.
At a certain moment, a small golden dragon appeared above the Spirit Pedestal, circling around the Primordial Spirit; its eyes sparkled brilliantly, as if full of spiritual wisdom.
"Subduing Dragon Palm's seventh layer, arises with wind and thunder, hides without a trace..."
At a certain moment, the Golden Giant Dragon disappeared among the Blood Slave Army, as if it had concealed itself with no trace to be found; suddenly, a dragon claw emerged, wrapped in the power of wind and thunder, instantly tearing apart a Blood Slave.
Soon another dragon's roar resounded, the wind and thunder roared, the dragon shadows whirled, the dragon's might was vast, and a fierce rage surged.
Hum!
Inside the Heavenly Cave, a sound of sword singing arose as if all things in the Heavenly Cave had become swords, each possessing a sort of spiritual wisdom, and more terrifyingly, these swords formed some kind of sword array.
"Wisdom Sword Slays Demons!"
Xu Yan opened his eyes, his demeanor free and easy; with a wave of his hand, the Sword Formation was arrayed, and the dragon's might rose, including the Blood Disciple and all the Netherworld invaders, entirely turned to dust and smoke!
