Chapter 348: Chapter 65: Double Swords Strike Together, Smooth Escape

Rationally speaking, Ling Yunpo absolutely had no way to deal with a maddened Dao Ye True Person–let alone with An Zhisu’s help.

If Senior Sister An stayed to help him, it would essentially mean one more person was going to die.

It would be better to let Senior Sister An leave first, which is common sense even a three-year-old child knows.

However, was Senior Sister An a very rational person?

At this thought, Ling Yunpo finally realized what was missing in his previous deliberations.

He had overlooked the unreserved love Senior Sister had for him!

The Thunder Punishment Sword struck again like thunder, intercepted jointly by the Green Duckweed Sword and the Flying Smoke Sword.

Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu both exerted their full strength, their True Yuan surging around them managed to barely catch the attack… and then both Immortal Swords were repelled at the same time.

The Green Duckweed Sword and the Flying Smoke Sword were thrown out, while the Thunder Punishment Sword was also knocked back several meters, and countless Sword Qi appeared out of nowhere, attacking them at high speed, blocked by the Thunderbane Sword and the Harsh Cold Sword.

“Senior Sister, he has no second sword,” Ling Yunpo urgently said.

“Distract the Thunder Punishment Sword,” An Zhisu also swiftly said, “Be careful of the derivative Sword Qi, wait for the opportunity to assassinate his true body!”

“Alright, I’ll distract!” Ling Yunpo immediately replied.

Although the swordsmanship of both was evenly matched, Ling Yunpo was well aware of what his advantage was.

His physical foundation was stronger than Senior Sister’s, and the toughness of the Green Duckweed Sword was also above the Flying Smoke Sword–at the end of the day, it was just more durable.

On the other hand, although An Zhisu was inferior to him in terms of Root Bone quality and Immortal Sword attribute, she was superior in her rich experience and sharper perception, better at seizing the fleeting moment for an assassination.

It made sense for him to distract, to create an assassination opportunity for Senior Sister An.

“Alright, be careful,” An Zhisu agreed without hesitation.

But Ling Yunpo knew that once he showed a state of not containing the Dao Ye True Person, Senior Sister would definitely abandon the assassination attempt at the first opportunity and would fight Dao Ye True Person desperately, to create a chance for him to escape.

Thus, whether he could contain Dao Ye True Person was the key to whether Senior Sister could complete the assassination.

“Qing Ping, we must go all out,” Ling Yunpo said softly.

“Sword Master, just go ahead,” the Green Duckweed Sword also said in a deep voice.

“Qing Ping…”

“What is it?”

“At this moment, you should say, ‘I am willing to die for Sword Master,’ right?”

Green Duckweed Sword: ……

“Saying I’m willing to die is truly too inauspicious,” it replied with a laugh, “How about ‘Wishing Sword Master a swift and decisive victory’ instead?”

“Whatever,” Ling Yunpo, gazing at Dao Ye True Person who was maintaining a kind of cold, chilling smile, said softly, “What do you think? Is my Ziyuan Sword Technique more formidable, or is your Seven Kills Sword Technique superior?”

Ling Yunpo was provoked to laughter, “If you’re so capable, why don’t you suppress your cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment Realm at the Refining Mansion phase and then come fight us?”

But it was obvious that Dao Ye True Person, having lost his secondary soul and six psyche components, certainly didn’t possess normal cognitive abilities, he didn’t even recognize that he and An Zhisu were Su Jian’s disciples; he was just desperately seeking someone to attack.

According to Daoist scriptures, even the loss of a single soul and a single psyche component would render one foolish and dull-witted. Dao Ye True Person seemed capable of holding a conversation, but in reality, he was probably just being sustained by a single obsession within his fragmented spirit. Aside from possessing an intact physical body, he was almost indistinguishable from Sun Sword Master Ouyang Zhao.

The obsession sustaining Dao Ye True Person apparently was to surpass the Seven Kills Sword Technique… Thus, no matter what, he would never let me and Senior Sister An go.

“Be careful!” Kunlun Mirror suddenly shouted.

Ling Yunpo’s pupils suddenly constricted as he saw the Xin Jin Hua Qi Sword almost turning into a purple-gold streak of light, stabbing towards his head.

In a flash of lightning, he had no choice but to pull over the closest Thunder Punishment Sword and hurriedly block in front of him.

The Thunder Punishment Sword let out a shriek and was then shaken by the Xin Jin Hua Qi Sword, being spun away as it was thrown into the air.

Fortunately, by proactively blocking with the Thunder Punishment Sword, Ling Yunpo had stolen the opportunity to call back the further Green Duckweed Sword, quickly eliminating the newly formed Sword Qi nearby, and then swiftly activated the Sword Dao Techniques “Green Mist Veil Over the Mountains.”

A thick fog arose, all non-water system Daoist Magic halved in power within the fog, and the enemy was unable to see in the fog, nor could they expand their Divine Sense; it was an extremely strong Daoist Magic for restraint.

However, what kind of person was Dao Ye True Person? He didn’t hesitate at all and, relying on his previous impression, shot the Xin Jin Hua Qi Sword once again towards Ling Yunpo’s direction.

Ling Yunpo clearly saw that because of the Golden Core True Person’s extremely fast swordsmanship, dodging was definitely not an option. Could his physical body’s speed possibly outpace a flying sword? He could only block with the Green Duckweed Sword.

This block exposed his position, and so Dao Ye True Person continued to manipulate the Xin Jin Hua Qi Sword, launching a series of sword technique combinations to pursue him, putting Ling Yunpo under great pressure, with his defense line nearly toppling.

Thankfully, the dense fog suppressed non-water system Daoist Magic, so the Sword Qi generated during clashes with the Xin Jin Hua Qi Sword was also severely weakened. With the recalled Thunder Punishment Sword, it was easily resolved, thus sparing Ling Yunpo the distraction of having to deal with it himself.

As he struggled to hold on, An Zhisu had already drawn the Harsh Cold Sword and was moving swiftly around the edge of the great fog.

If she entered the dense fog, her Divine Sense would also be suppressed since she was not the Sword Master of the Green Duckweed Sword. Even though her heart was anxious, she had to restrain the impulse to rush over and rescue her junior brother, gritting her teeth to find Dao Ye True Person’s location in the fog.

Finally, her gaze intensified, as she simultaneously launched the Harsh Cold Sword and the Flying Smoke Sword from two directions towards Dao Ye True Person in the fog, executing the “Dragon-Tiger Strike” from the Seven Kills Sword Technique.

The Flying Smoke Sword sped faster, aiming a direct stab at the opponent’s throat, which was the critical hit of this sword technique.

If the opponent managed to block it, then the opportunity for a lethal blow would shift to the later-launched Harsh Cold Sword.

As expected, Dao Ye True Person laughed heartily several times, swiftly pulling back the Xin Jin Hua Qi Sword and spinning to slice at the rapidly thrusting Flying Smoke Sword.

The Flying Smoke Sword was sent spiraling away by the impact, but the Harsh Cold Sword’s surface started to form frost bloom, with cold light circulating. An Zhisu was already silently reciting “Abyssal Ice Three Feet Thick, Snow Covering a Thousand Miles,” activating the trapping Daoist Magic on the Harsh Cold Sword.

The misty moisture that was enveloping Dao Ye True Person instantly turned into thick frost, freezing him from feet to head.

Ling Yunpo didn’t hesitate any longer, tossing the Frostfall Sword into the air and achieving Man-Sword Unity, speeding away into the distance.

An Zhisu also took the chance to pull back the Flying Smoke Sword, transforming into dazzling Sword Light, following closely behind Ling Yunpo.

In just five or six breaths as they fled, Dao Ye True Person bound by frost suddenly shook himself, and the frost and snow fell from his body in a shower.

How could Sword Dao Techniques powered by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation level hold back this Golden Core Realm Great Perfection True Person?

“Good! Good! Good!” Dao Ye True Person roared with a furious expression, shouting the word “good” thrice, though it was unclear what he meant by it. He turned and pursued in the direction in which Ling Yunpo and the others were fleeing, his figure flickered, and he crossed tens of meters in an instant, directly giving chase.
