Qin Wentian plucked out his ancient halberd. The Stellar Fruits were able to replenish Astral Energy at a rapid rate. Qin Wentian had already sensed this point.
However, Mu Baifei and the rest didn't have any Stellar Fruits. After defeating Qian Mengyu and the other four from the Greencloud Pavilion, they had to fight against Qin Wentian. Especially that combination of swordplay earlier, they had all expended a tremendous amount of Astral Energy. As they stared at Qin Wentian slowly walking towards them, traces of wariness could be seen in their eyes.
Mu Baifei brandished his longsword once again. The pride of a Swallow Swordsman was not something that could be crushed.
The other two beside him also brandished their swords. The Sword Intent exuded from them was extremely sharp, as the glow of their Astral Souls shone downwards, causing the power of their swords to increase by several notches.
"Bzzz!" Qin Wentian's silhouette transformed into a shadow as he violently slashed out with his ancient halberd towards Mu Baifei. The Mountain Splitter Stance was ferocious, powerful, and capable of splitting a mountain apart. Not only that, this strike was also infused with Sword-type Divine Yuan Energy.
As the leader of the three Swallow Swordsmen, Mu Baifei's combat prowess was also the strongest. He definitely lived up to his reputation. His longsword twirled in the air, as resplendent beams of light danced in the air, emitting a desolate killing intent.
"BOOM!" The powerful force of the collision forced Mu Baifei to retreat. However, the attacks of the other two instantly arrived. Their swords were as fast as lightning. Qin Wentian rotated his feet as he simultaneously blasted out with his Falling Mountain Palms. His Falling Mountain Palms were as heavy as a mountain, containing boundless might, blocking the sword light from the left. At the same time, as the sword light from the right pierced towards him, he abruptly slammed his ancient halberd downwards. The ancient halberd transformed into a terrifying beam of light as it shot towards Mu Baifei.
"Puchi!" Qin Wentian opened his mouth as he spat out a beam of sword light towards the right, causing his opponent's attack to falter momentarily. Qin Wentian's Arterial Pathways began to churn as a roaring sound echoed out.
"Kill!" With a furious roar, Qin Wentian's arm seemed to contain an incomparably terrifying power. He blasted out a terrifying Kuji Seal, which was emitting a terrifying blood-red light. It transformed into a blood-red palm that was filled with destructive power. With a loud bang, his opponent's sword flew out of his hand.
Qin Wentian's speed was incomparably ferocious, he had long prepared for this attack. Executing the Garuda Movement Technique, he closed in on his opponent. The countenance of his opponent grew incredibly unsightly to behold, as he hurriedly stabbed out with his finger, the tip of his finger imbued with a powerful sword intent.
But in close combat, how tyrannical was Qin Wentian? His demonic eyes stared at his opponent, causing his opponent to feel as though he was about to sink into an unreal dream. After that, a blood-colored palm smashed over, destroying his attack. Qin Wentian stabbed out with his finger, and a sharp Divine Yuan sword imbued with blood-colored runes pierced into his opponent's head.
Everything happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. However, Mu Baifei and the other opponent's sword slashed over, causing Qin Wentian to feel an intense sense of danger.
In an instant, Qin Wentian adjusted his attack, and a terrifying amount of Divine Energy erupted forth, transforming into a resplendent sword that shot towards Mu Baifei. The threat Mu Baifei posed to him was even greater than before, but at the same time, the other opponent's sword arrived. Qin Wentian's left palm trembled as he slapped out horizontally. A beam of blood-red light flashed, and a bloodstain appeared on Qin Wentian's palm. His opponent's sword was simply too sharp.
Against such an opponent, the slightest bit of carelessness would result in death.
Qin Wentian hurriedly retreated. Mu Baifei and the other opponent knew that they had missed the best opportunity to kill Qin Wentian. Glancing at the corpse of their comrade, their gazes grew heavy as they stared at Qin Wentian, their killing intent growing increasingly intense.
Qin Wentian turned his head and glanced at Mo Qingcheng. Shiki had completely gone berserk, transforming into a half-human, half-demonic beast as he frenziedly suppressed Mo Qingcheng. Even with his status, he was actually unable to suppress Mo Qingcheng, causing him to feel extremely embarrassed.
However, there was no need to worry about the Mystic Moon Hall. Ouyang Kuangsheng's strength was indeed powerful, and in addition to the fact that the members of the Mystic Moon Hall were also extremely powerful, they weren't at a disadvantage against those from the Skydemon Sect and Beast King Hall.
As for those who weren't from the transcendent powers, they were more than happy to watch the commotion. They were already in a weaker position, and the frenzied battle of these transcendent powers was extremely beneficial to them.
"What a cold wind." At this moment, some of the spectators shivered as they felt the cold wind gusting against their bodies. Not only that, the intensity of the wind grew increasingly intense.
Everyone frowned slightly. After that, they looked in a certain direction. It was the only crack in the mountain wall. The suction force from the crack that could accommodate several people was getting stronger and stronger. It was actually spreading outwards, and there was already a momentum of sand and gravel flying around.
"What's going on?" The spectators turned their gazes over, and to their astonishment, they discovered that a terrifying gale of wind gusted over, gushing towards that crack. It was as though the crack in the mountain rampart wanted to devour everything.
In just a short instant, the robes of the spectators fluttered in the wind. They felt as though they were about to be sucked into the crack, and this feeling grew increasingly intense.
Everyone stopped fighting. Qin Wentian was forced to take a step back by the gale of wind. Qin Wentian steadied himself, but he couldn't even open his eyes. This wind was extremely bizarre.
Under the influence of this gale of wind, there were people moving unceasingly. One of them dashed towards Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to take a step back. Abruptly, that person turned around as a gigantic axe appeared in his hand, slashing down towards Qin Wentian. If Qin Wentian was struck by that attack, his body would definitely be split into two.
Qin Wentian instantly broke out in cold sweat. Right now, under the influence of this gale, it was basically impossible for him to move. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to evade the attack easily, and it was even more difficult for him to summon his strength to resist. Not only that, the power of that attack was extremely terrifying. This seemingly unremarkable figure was definitely an extremely tyrannical one. Clearly, this person was after the Star Fruits in his possession.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian abruptly relaxed his body, not resisting the gale of wind. His body directly drifted towards the direction of the mountain rampart, and as the gigantic axe slashed out, a terrifying axe light flashed. A piercing sound rang out as the robes on his chest were torn apart, as fresh blood spurted out. A long bloody wound appeared on his chest.
With a thunderous boom, Qin Wentian's body was slammed into the mountain rampart, as he felt intense pain all over his body. That gale of wind was simply too terrifying.
"Wentian!" Mo Qingcheng's voice drifted over. She had personally witnessed that terrifying axe slash earlier, and was currently struggling to move towards Qin Wentian's location.
"I'm fine." Qin Wentian turned his head and smiled at Mo Qingcheng. He could feel the power of his Bloodline Limit surging within him, as the bloody wound on his chest slowly healed. This caused Qin Wentian's heart to tremble slightly. After which, the blood-colored runes in his body frenziedly surged towards the wound, and as expected, the speed at which the wound healed grew even faster. This caused Qin Wentian to once again feel how powerful his Bloodline Limit was.
"Over here." Mo Qingcheng stretched out her hand towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian leaned against the mountain rampart as he moved towards her. Pulling her dainty hand in his, he stated, "Qingcheng, I'm afraid no one would be able to withstand this demonic wind. We can only go with the flow and enter that passageway."
"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng lightly nodded her head, as the two of them held each other's hands tightly.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian didn't retrieve his ancient halberd, nor did he think about finding the expert who slashed at him earlier. At this moment, the most important thing was his safety. He cast a glance at the people within the windstorm, and noticed that there were quite a few who had launched sneak attacks. The people here were all extremely ruthless, and they wouldn't miss out on any opportunities.
The two of them completely relaxed. Momentarily, that terrifying demonic wind instantly swept them into the crack in the mountain rampart, and after which, they felt as though they were soaring through the clouds.
A thunderous sound rang out, and Qin Wentian knew that he had slammed into the stone rampart beside him. He only felt his mind going blank, and that terrifying demonic wind was so strong that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Astral Energy circulated around his body, and the blood vessels in his body churned, protecting him. At the same time, Qin Wentian pulled Mo Qingcheng into his embrace, and hugged her tightly as they soared through the raging wind.
Mo Qingcheng's internal organs were trembling violently, but when she suddenly felt that warm embrace, she felt a sweetness in her heart. She also hugged Qin Wentian tightly.
Their bodies unceasingly slammed into the mountain rampart, and after a long time, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng finally slammed heavily onto the ground. They rolled a few times on the ground, but their bodies were still tightly stuck together.
Opening his eyes, Qin Wentian stared at the pair of glowing eyes. A smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. They were still alive.
Mo Qingcheng also had a sweet smile on her face. The two of them sat up with great difficulty, feeling as though their bodies were about to fall apart.
Surveying their surroundings, they discovered that they were currently in the midst of a violent tempest. However, very quickly, the eyes of the two of them froze as they stared ahead.
The reason why they could still feel such a strong storm was because there was a cold wind that was as sharp as a blade blowing in front of them. In front of them, there was a terrifying storm.
However, as their gazes penetrated through the tempest, they saw a magnificent scene. Numerous towering stone pillars seemed to be connected to the constellations in the sky, and Astral Light cascaded downwards, cascading into the Astral Pool that was enveloped by the stone pillars. That place, was the celestial pool.
As long as they passed through the tempest, they would be able to bathe in the celestial pool.
At this moment, the crowd had already been blown over by the demonic tempest. When they climbed up, they similarly discovered the celestial pool on the other side of the tempest. Only to see several people madly sprinting in that direction, stepping into the tempest. However, very quickly, they slowed their steps, as though they could feel how terrifying the tempest was.
Step by step, more and more people stepped into the tempest. Finally, the person in the lead had already traversed a third of the tempest, yet his Astral Energy seemed to have been completely depleted. Following which, a rain of blood rained down, and the crowd could clearly see his body being torn apart by the tempest.
Such a scene caused the hearts of many to pound, especially those who had already entered the tempest. Their hearts trembled, but they could only grit their teeth and continue forward.
Scenes of blood and gore appeared, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble unceasingly. Those who had entered the tempest, had all died. Even the person who managed to traverse the furthest distance didn't even manage to traverse half of the tempest.
"Stellar Fruits." The gazes of many abruptly shifted in the direction of Qin Wentian and Mu Baifei. Other than Ouyang Kuangsheng, only Qin Wentian and Mu Baifei possessed Stellar Fruits.
Without sufficient Astral Energy to protect one's body, it was basically impossible to traverse that distance. The existence of the Stellar Fruits was precisely for the sake of passing through the tempest, allowing one to reach the celestial pool.
Only to see the silhouettes of the crowd rapidly moving about, blocking the path of Qin Wentian, Mo Qingcheng, and Mu Baifei, not allowing them to enter the tempest. In fact, even Ouyang Kuangsheng was blocked by the crowd.
With regards to the Stellar Fruits, they had no choice but to take the risk.
What made the hearts of the crowd tremble was that the first person to make a move was none other than Wang Xiao from the War Continent, and his target was none other than the Swallow Swordsman, Mu Baifei.
Qin Wentian glanced at the other Swallow Swordsman standing beside Mu Baifei. Of the three Swallow Swordsmen, he was the only one remaining. When he saw the icy glare of Qin Wentian, a trace of fear finally appeared in his eyes.
