Qiu Shiyin was stunned, but only for a moment.
But it was enough.
Ji Chuan's Nascent Soul, which was held in Qiu Shiyin's hand, suddenly lit up when Qiu Shiyin was in a daze.
Countless sword energies as sharp as blades shot out from Ji Chuan's Nascent Soul in an instant.
These surging sword Qi instantly pierced through Qiu Shiyin's sharp claws covered with hard scales.
Qiu Shiyin cried out in pain.
At the same time, an even thicker sword Qi shot out from Ji Chuan's Nascent Soul and bombarded Qiu Shiyin's chest with a loud bang.
This attack was so fierce that even the sound of Qiu Shiyin's ribs breaking could be heard.
Qiu Shiyin's figure flew out.
The two figures separated.
Ji Chuan's Nascent Soul, which was freed from Qiu Shiyin's grip, quickly poured out spiritual power to contain the huge bleeding wound on his abdomen.
Qiu Shiyin looked at Ji Chuan from afar, her eyes full of disbelief.
How could a Nascent Soul produce sword Qi?
In the common sense of any cultivator, this was something that was absolutely impossible.
How could the most fragile Nascent Soul contain such fierce sword Qi?
Ji Chuan crouched, his left hand covering the huge wound on his abdomen, and slowly stood up. He faced Qiu Shiyin, his hand holding the green sword.
Ordinary cultivators couldn't do it, but disciples of the Sword Sect could because this was the strength of a Dao-level cultivation technique.
…
Lu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Although his sudden interruption just now was the truth, his real purpose was to buy Ji Chuan a brief moment when Qiu Shiyin was in a daze.
Before leaving the Sword Sect, he went to the Knowledge Hall to receive the Nascent Soul chapter of the Sword Sect's Sky Severing Sword Manual and learned its detailed attributes.
As a Dao-level Nascent Soul chapter, one of the special effects of the Sky Severing Sword Manual was that the condensed Nascent Soul would have an unparalleled affinity with all swords, and it could contain a Natal Sword.
The biggest use of this special effect was to allow a sword cultivator to store their Natal Sword in their Nascent Soul. This was equivalent to a sword cultivator constantly nurturing their Natal Sword, and the efficiency of sword nurturing would be greatly increased.
For a Nascent Soul that could nurture a real sword, it was naturally not difficult for him to nurture a sharp sword aura.
The Nascent Soul was a cultivator's Achilles' heel. Every cultivator would think of all sorts of ways to protect their Nascent Soul.
Since the Heaven-Intersecting Sword Sutra had such an ability, Lu Qingshan was certain that Ji Chuan must have stored several streaks of sword aura inside his Nascent Soul for self-defense.
Therefore, without any communication, he and Ji Chuan completed this extremely ingenious cooperation, allowing Ji Chuan to escape from Qiu Shiyin's control.
The moment he saw Qiu Shiyin's figure flying backwards, a terrifying aura immediately rose from Primordial Lion's body. He stared at Ji Chuan with a violent gaze, making the action of a hunter pouncing on its prey.
It was preparing to launch a thunderous attack on Ji Chuan and tear this puny human to shreds.
Qiu Shiyin steadied herself and looked at Ji Chuan, who was covered in blood and battered because of her sneak attack. She smiled and gently pressed down on the Yuan Lion, who seemed to have lost control.
She pointed at Nine Serenity Hall Master and Hei Luo and said softly, "Qiu Ning, help me kill them, then leave this place and never come back."
Primordial Lion let out a low whimper and refused to move.
Although his intelligence wasn't high, he could sense some bad omens.
Qiu Shiyin immediately widened her eyes and looked at Primordial Lion.
Under the burning gaze of his most respected sister, the Primordial Lion named Qiu Ning finally could not hold back and began to move.
He let out a furious roar and pounced on Nine Serenity Hall Master and Hei Luo, as if he wanted to vent his anger on them.
"Extraditor, what do you want to do?" Nine Serenity Hall Master's expression changed and he hurriedly shouted.
"I want you to die." Qiu Shiyin murmured.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Blood Qi and Nine Serenity Intent Realm bombarded Qiu Ning's body continuously, but in just a breath's time, they were disintegrated and destroyed by Qiu Ning's Death Qi.
Qiu Ning quickly closed in and launched a frenzied attack. He waved his claws, swung his tail, and bit … Every move was extremely loud.
Under the Primordial Lion's ferocious attacks, Nine Serenity Hall Master and Hei Luo, who were already in poor condition, were like two ravaged dolls. Their injuries became more and more serious.
Boom! Boom!
Qiu Ning's sharp claws continued to attack.
Finally, Hei Luo, who was unable to withstand the attacks, had no choice but to transform into his bat form again to save his life.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Ning's mouth bulged slightly and he spat out lightly in front of the swarm of bat forms.
The dense Death Qi of the Yellow Springs, with a terrifying power, shot out from Qiu Ning's bloody mouth and completely covered Hei Luo's bat forms.
Bam! Bam!
Hei Luo was severely injured twice in a row. There were only three hundred bat forms left, and under the attack of the Death Qi of the Yellow Springs, they instantly became silent.
Hei Luo's bat forms fell from the sky one by one and landed on the ground motionlessly, without any signs of life.
None of the bat forms were spared.
In other words, Hei Luo was dead!
"Survival is more important!"
Nine Serenity Hall Master felt a chill in his heart. He knew that if this continued, he would not be able to live for long.
Bang!
He could not hold on any longer. His hands formed a seal, and the power of the Nine Serenity Realm rolled out to protect him. He barely managed to withstand the Primordial Lion's attack.
Taking advantage of the huge impact, his figure was sent flying backwards, and he took advantage of the opportunity to escape.
Roar!
Qiu Ning let out a roar of dissatisfaction when he saw Nine Serenity Hall Master fleeing in panic. He stepped into the void and chased after Nine Serenity Hall Master.
Qiu Shiyin watched Qiu Ning chase Nine Serenity Hall Master into the distance. She withdrew her gaze and looked at Ji Chuan.
She pursed her lips, and there was not much expression on her scaly face. She raised her claws high, and her eyes flashed with a yellow light. Her horns were ferocious, and she looked like she was ready to attack Ji Chuan.
"Without Qiu Ning, you are no match for me." Ji Chuan stared at Qiu Shiyin, his black and white eyes were extremely cold.
Nine Serenity Hall Master and Hei Luo together could not defeat him. Qiu Shiyin, as the Extradition Envoy of the Hades, only had a cultivation of the Fourth Stage. If it was not a sneak attack, how could she be his match?
Qiu Shiyin smiled coldly and did not say much. She turned into the ferocious Primordial Demon again in an instant, leaving behind afterimages in the air as she charged toward Ji Chuan fearlessly.
Ji Chuan stood motionless.
Just as Qiu Shiyin was about to reach him.
Clang!
It was like an antelope hanging its horn.
A deafening sound of metal clashing rang out.
A long river of black and white sword light appeared in the area around Ji Chuan.
When the sword light dimmed.
The green sword had pierced deeply into Qiu Shiyin's body and came out from her back.
Qiu Shiyin's body began to spasm violently. Her ferocious face gradually recovered, and the scales receded little by little, revealing the soft cheeks under the scales.
The frighteningly sharp claws also returned to their original form, a pair of soft and fair hands.
Her long hair covered Qiu Shi Yin's face, making it hard for others to see her expression.
Ji Chuan slowly pulled out his sword.
Crimson blood suddenly gushed out, and the blood flow was frighteningly large.
The silver-white sword body was suffused with the scarlet color of blood and the withered yellow color that represented the Death Qi of the Netherworld.
Ji Chuan stood in front of Qiu Shiyin and stared at her for a long time.
The pitch-black eyes and the yellow eyes represented two completely different species. It also indicated that their lives would be two parallel lines that would be difficult to intersect.
Both of them were expressionless.
"Why?" Ji Chuan asked.
Why did he choose to let Qiu Ning, who was at the peak of the Fifth Stage, kill Nine Serenity Hall Master, while he himself came to die?
It was as if a spring breeze had blown over a frozen lake in winter. The ice on its surface melted and rippled. Qiu Shiyin withdrew her cold gaze and smiled. "I don't believe in the Sword Sect. I don't believe in anyone … But now, I want to believe in you for once."
Ji Chuan was silent for a long time. He wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, the words didn't come out. He could only nod silently.
"As you wish," he finally said softly.
Qiu Shiyin revealed a smile of relief. The last glimmer of light in her yellow eyes extinguished.
She fell on her back in a pool of blood. Thick Death Qi swept out from her body and soared into the sky.
… …
Ji Chuan stood still for a moment before calming down.
Sword in hand, he walked toward the heavily injured Prince Yuanyao.
He wouldn't let down Qiu Shiyin's trust before her death.
Prince Yuanyao watched as Ji Chuan approached him step by step. He frantically sensed his own injuries.
Fierce sword intent still lingered in his body. The intense pain caused his expression to change visibly. It changed from arrogance and coldness to gloom, pain, weakness, and madness.
In truth, the moment he saw the Primordial Lion lose control, he knew that he was going to suffer.
"You can't kill me. My father is the Primordial Demon King …" Prince Yuanyao murmured in a hoarse voice.
Ji Chuan didn't say anything. However, the undisguised killing intent in his pitch-black eyes allowed Prince Yuanyao to understand what Ji Chuan was thinking.
"Hehe, do you really think you can defeat me like this? Do you really think I'll just stretch out my neck and let you kill me? "Seeing that there was no turning back, Prince Yuanyao suddenly let out a sickly laugh.
He said in a cold voice, "I don't want to become enemies with the Sword Sect. You forced me to do this."
Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan's expressions both changed when they heard this.
Although they didn't know what other trump cards Prince Yuanyao had, the fact that he dared to speak like this at a time like this meant that he definitely had something to rely on.
Ji Chuan didn't hesitate. He hurriedly swung his sword forward.
A river of sword-light surged forward.
"It's useless," Prince Yuanyao said coldly as he waved his hand.
A speck of yellow light flickered, then transformed into a scroll that floated in the air.
"Geomancy Map of the Nine Hells, Theurgy: Realm Crossing!" Prince Yuanyao murmured.
Yes, the Primordial Demon King had not only sent Qiu Ning to be Prince Yuanyao's Dao Protector to protect him, but he had also given his own Ascension Treasure, the Yellow Springs Realm Artifact, the Geomancy Map of the Nine Hells, to Prince Yuanyao.
As the Yellow Springs Realm's supreme artifact, the Geomancy Map of the Nine Hells' most powerful Theurgy was the one Prince Yuanyao was using right now. It was the Realm Crossing Technique!
In the distant void, the picture scroll unfurled out of thin air.
The scroll was covered in a hazy yellow mist.
Deep within the mist, one could vaguely make out a vast river.
A withered yellow river.
Before anyone could get a clear look at the river's appearance, the river in the scroll suddenly materialized and surged out.
The mighty river flowed forward with unstoppable momentum.
It was unknown what forbidden art this was, but it instantly drowned Ji Chuan's river of sword light.
Then, the river swept past Ji Chuan, the lifeless Qiu Shiyin, and the nearby Lu Qingshan.
A vast and majestic power swallowed the two of them and tightly bound them, making it impossible for them to break free.
In fact, even Prince Yuanyao himself had been caught up in it.
Even the artifact's user himself was unable to escape the power of this art.
One could only imagine how terrifying this art was.
The withered yellow river continued to flow forward. An instant later, it flowed into the void.
The river seemed to flow into a bottomless abyss, disappearing without a trace.
Lu Qingshan, Ji Chuan, Qiu Shiyin, and Prince Yuanyao all fell into the river.
"Sir, this is a technique that connects the two worlds.
You're currently in the barrier between the two worlds. If I break this technique, you'll be trapped there and unable to escape. "Qin Yitian's urgent voice sounded in Lu Qingshan's mind.
In other words, the Dragonsparrow Breaker couldn't be used right now.
Lu Qingshan paused. "Connect the two worlds?"
"The human world and the Yellow Springs Realm.
"This spell is meant to bring you into the reincarnation realm that only dead souls can enter. It's the Realm of Yellow Springs!" Qin Yitian said.
