Immortal of the Ages - Chapter 451: To Kill You, One Sword is Enough

“Attack together?”

“Such arrogance knows no bounds…”

Tens of thousands of Mystic Zenith Temple cultivators hovered in the air, forming a vast, iron net of daoist spells.

“Not even 100 Lian Xis would dare to speak such grand words in our presence, how dare he?” The Mysterious Sword Manor Master sneered coldly.

All ten Manor Masters were at the Yin Immortal Realm, boasting lifespans of several hundred years. Each of them was stronger than Jian Xing!

Most of the twenty Dharma Crowns were also Yin Immortals!

Within the ranks of the Black Battalion, there were also 100 captains in the Yin Immortal Realm!

These were the true elite among the descendants of the Three Immortals! They formed the core layer of the Primordial Ruins’ authoritative institution.

Not to mention these Yin Immortals… If the tens of thousands of cultivators from the Black Battalion were to attack one person at the same time, they could easily annihilate that person into dust!

“You are responsible for blocking any of that little fiend’s followers!” the red-robed woman said, her red eyes locking onto Yun Xiao.

“Yes!”

At least half of the Black Battalion turned, casting daoist spells to survey the surroundings of the Mystic Zenith Temple.

The death of Jian Xing here was their responsibility. If they couldn’t seize Yun Xiao on such a great opportunity, they would have no way to explain themselves to the Three Immortals!

“Now we just need to be wary of Yu Nichang and others coming to rescue Yun Xiao. So, keeping watch is even more important,” the Mysterious Sword Manor Master said coldly.

Despite saying so, they were also paying attention to the process of the red-robed woman capturing Yun Xiao. Now fully concentrated, even if there were any changes, they could act in time.

“Li Hongpao comes from beyond the myriad worlds. Her parents are said to be friends of the Three Immortals, with a mysterious background. Skilled in both sword and sigil cultivation, her methods are said to be astonishing, yet we never had the chance to witness them… Today, we finally have the privilege to see her techniques.”

A few Manor Masters gathered together, their eyes filled with anticipation.

More than 100,000 disciples of the Primordial Academy were suffocating for a long time, their minds in turmoil! The confusion and worry in their eyes contrasted sharply with the cold indifference in the eyes of the descendants of the Three Immortals.

Being worried for Yun Xiao meant that their hearts were still pure… For Yun Xiao, that was enough! The fight was worth it!

Facing the red-robed woman, his expression was disdainful, but his heart was not the slightest bit relaxed.

In his hand, the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, with over 3,000,000 layers of Sword Aura, emitted a whistling sword cry. The ten Dreamsea Abalone Sword Rings enveloped in mist created an illusory world around Yun Xiao, where light flickered and tides surged.

“Ten Sword Rings… Are you using the demon magic of the Dreamsea Abalone to add three more fake Sword Rings?” The red-robed woman asked, her dark red beautiful eyes flickered with a dim light.

“If that explanation makes you feel better, then you’re right,” Yun Xiao said.

“Heh… How interesting.” The red-robed woman spoke as she opened her hands. A blood bat flowed from her brow to her left hand, forming a blood-red bat Life Sigil with wings spread, perched on the back of her hand. Meanwhile, her right hand birthed a Sword Soul!

This Sword Soul was blood-colored throughout, resembling a sea of blood with black blood strands spread across it, forming a net of darkness over the blood sword.

A staggering 2,000,000 layers of blood-colored Sword Aura surged within and around this blood sword, weaving into a torrent of black and red sword currents, presenting a breath-stopping aura of deathly stillness, eeriness, and lethal force.

“Sword Soul, Life Sigil, both are of the highest Yang grade, the very top tier. Just below the Three Immortals.”

“The Blood Child Sword Soul, Red Flurry Life Sigil. Both are special types never seen before in the history of the Primordial Ruins.”

“Is it said that she’s under thirty? Around 28 years old, at her most enchanting age…”

“I’ve never seen her without the cloak before, didn’t expect her to be so captivating.”

A few Manor Masters glanced at the red-robed woman with somewhat fervent eyes, then exchanged looks, each harboring a hint of a special interest.

“With devil lineage, her figure can’t be flawed, truly exquisite…”

“Enough,” the Mysterious Sword Manor Master whispered a reminder. “It’s said she was close to our ancient ancestors.”

“Understood!” The Manor Masters quickly shut their mouths, daring not to utter another word. They all returned to a solemn state, concentrating on Yun Xiao and the red-robed woman. If looks could build walls, they would have sealed Yun Xiao a thousand times over.

“Where is your Life Sigil?” the red-robed woman asked, slightly lifting her delicate chin, her elegant nose pointing towards Yun Xiao.

It seemed she was keen on comparing their abilities in dual cultivation of sword and sigil.

“To kill you, one sword is enough,” Yun Xiao declared, pointing his sword at the red-robed woman.

Hearing this, the red-robed woman’s eyebrows knitted together deeply! She had no patience left.

“Let’s see the action, not just words in a duel of Immortals.”

The red-robed woman suddenly moved, her Blood Child Sword Soul emitted a piercing screech. The blood-colored sword light flickered, and the Sword Soul transformed into a three-foot crimson Palm Sword, her figure like a shadow of blood, charging towards Yun Xiao!

“Blood Strand Sword Prison!”

A gasp of amazement sounded from around, naming the technique the red-robed woman was using at the moment.

A Palm Sword technique that could evoke astonishment from the Manor Masters and Dharma Crowns, how could it be anything less than extraordinary?

The red-robed woman, tall and imposing, wielded her sword with swift grace. With every thrust of her Blood Child Sword Soul, it seemed as though numerous blood strands spread from the Sword Soul, instantly forming a vast sword net composed of bloodlines!

RIP! The red-robed woman’s attack was not just a sword strike but a blood-colored hell that covered the skies and earth, pervading everything, locking onto every vital spot around Yun Xiao!

In the moment of the sword dance, the divine might of the sword, augmented by demon magic, made Yun Xiao feel as if he were standing in a sea of blood. His ears were filled with the wails and howls of tens of thousands of ghosts, while before him, the blood strands formed a giant blood-colored eye that seemed to pull at his soul!

Such a solemn sword strike, executed so perfectly, its power once again caused the Mystic Zenith Temple to emit a tremulous cheer.

This showed their admiration and worship for the red-robed woman’s sword strike!

Under this blood-colored hellish sword, as the Mysterious Sword Manor Master and others said, even if it were Lian Xi, she would die ten times over!

What chance of survival did Yun Xiao have?

Amidst the surging blood and fire, Yun Xiao appeared as calm as an icy sea.

As the red-robed woman made her move, he did too! He grasped five Sword Hearts between his fingers and flung them into the air. Then, he swept his sword across.

SLASH, SLASH, SLASH… With five consecutive clear sounds, these five Sword Hearts were all bisected.

Yet strangely, they didn’t explode directly but turned into dark azure storms of sword energy, furiously surging into the Heaven Burial Sword Soul.

Throughout this process, Yun Xiao did not look at the sword in his hand. His eyes were filled with dense blood strands!

This was actually the reflection of the Blood Strand Sword Prison before him…

Behind this Blood Strand Sword Prison were faces of cold laughter and ugliness.

“To claim a pure land for oneself, to bully the weak by strength, to dominate and rule, do you think you can arbitrarily dictate the fate of the common folk?” Yun Xiao mused silently.

In this world, there was a heavenly ladder! Unless one was at the very top of this ladder, there was always someone stronger above. Once one acts unrighteously, how could one hope for eternal peace?

“Since I’ve come here, I must let you all witness, what are called the true methods of the heavens!”

BOOM! As Yun Xiao spoke, the Heaven Burial Sword Soul stirred up a raging dark azure storm, its destructive power multiplying and becoming even more ferocious!

For a moment, the power of the sword in Yun Xiao’s hand seemed to surpass that of the Blood Child Sword Soul!

WHOOSH! Without another word, with a cold expression nearly identical to the red-robed woman’s, Yun Xiao struck with his sword!

That thrust forward, the sword’s momentum spreading, creating a splattering effect, suddenly unfurled a large net of azure blood, like a vast azure-black maw opening its sharp fangs!

This azure Blood Strand Sword Prison was even larger, denser, and more brutal than the crimson blood strands!

“How can it also be the Blood Strand Sword Prison?”

In that moment, a sense of astonishment sprouted in the hearts of each descendant of the Three Immortals.

“It must be the illusion technique of the Dreamsea Abalone, just like those ten Sword Rings…” someone blurted out.

“…Perhaps not!” The Mysterious Sword Manor Master’s expression changed, recalling that Yun Xiao had often used the techniques of others.

But that aside, this was a technique unique to the red-robed woman in the Primordial Ruins! How could he possibly know it?

In this moment of shock, even the red-robed woman herself harbored shock and doubt.

“My Sword Soul? My sword technique?” In an instant, the azure and crimson swords clashed, like two bloody beasts colliding, their dense sword movements instantly resulting in hundreds of exchanges.

KLANG! KLANG! KLANG! The ear-piercing sound of swords exploding swept through the entire area, leaving the disciples of the Primordial Academy shocked and dazzled.

“Can Yun Xiao really face the Temple Head in direct combat?”

Waves of astonishment surged in their hearts.

“It’s not about being evenly matched, but rather…”

People watched, breathless, as the azure blood-colored sword prison attacked, revealing even more variations, clearly incorporating techniques from the Primordial Triforce Sword Art. The azure blood strands twisted into azure sword energy vortexes, pressing down like giant wheels, with furious azure dragons bursting forth in a frenzy!

The Heaven Burial Sword Soul, with its lethal power of death, completely suppressed the Blood Child Sword Soul. The blood strands and vortexes swept over, striking the red-robed woman!

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! Even though she was protected by top-tier magic armor, Yun Xiao’s sword still left dense sword marks on her body!

“How is this possible…” The red-robed woman retreated in shock, tumbling down from the high platform to the ground.

She immediately got up, her dark red eyes staring intently at Yun Xiao, her mind in turmoil.

Before her, this young man in white stood enveloped in a dark azure storm, his eyes swirling with sword energy, appearing both divine and demonic, with an unparalleled demeanor!

“His Sword Soul can directly absorb the power of Sword Hearts for use, and even replicate your sword technique?!” The Mysterious Sword Manor Master finally grasped this point, his mind buzzing.

The red-robed woman looked down at her blood-drenched right arm and the trembling Blood Child Sword Soul, then asked in the most solemn tone, “Could this youngster’s ten Sword Rings be real? Should he have been eliminated sooner than Lian Xi?”

Her question, from another perspective, was akin to asking could Yun Xiao be more heaven defying than Lian Xi?

Hearing this, the Mysterious Sword Manor Master’s eyes blazed with fire. He scanned the surroundings and suddenly roared, “Black Battalion, heed my command, all-out attack, eliminate this menace!”

Yun Xiao’s last strike had the cautious and suspicious descendants of the Three Immortals forgetting their intent to torture him, desiring only to eradicate a significant threat on the spot!

“Yes!” Tens of thousands roared in unison.

The Martial Cultivators advanced!

The Sword Cultivators drew their swords!

The Inscription Cultivators readied their sigils!

Tens of thousands of cultivators attacked simultaneously.

Every single one of them was at least in the Five Decays Realm!

After their initial shock, the only thing left in their eyes was a murderous desire to kill!
