Chapter 647: Chapter 268: Ziyun Falls, Ji Hai’s Wrath (3)

It turns out, the Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon, this flying technique, in the midst of a fight, truly allows one to move unpredictably, exquisite to the extreme.

At least, during attacks, it can seize every advantage.

Even Chen Ping couldn’t help but sigh, his own body technique is somewhat inferior.

However, no matter how you look at it, this body technique is not a very good escape technique for running long distances; it is still a bit lacking compared to the Little Wind Thunder Escape. Each has its specialty, that’s how it is.

Chen Ping simply abandoned his defense, fully activating the Little Wind Thunder Escape, catching up in no time.

In front, there seemed to be fierce winds and fire flowing, his eyes flashed, and golden light burst forth from between his eyebrows. His thoughts and divine sense, at a speed beyond the transmission of vitality, had already entered Ziyun’s mind.

“Ji Hai, don’t leave me.”

Ziyun suddenly opened her mouth and let out a scream.

With all her might, she flashed forward, but it seemed like she missed the direction, she ended up flashing towards Chen Ping.

Her eyes blurred for a moment, a trace of sadness just appeared on her face, then suddenly transformed into a mix of shock and rage.

“Damn it.”

She was hit again.

As her figure wildly retreated, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

When it truly comes to extreme danger, she wouldn’t lack the courage to fight to the death.

Over the decades, following Ji Hai through secret realms, fighting strong enemies, engaging in bloody battles at least a dozen times; without this, they wouldn’t have been able to gather all the resources necessary for Ji Hai to break through to the Dao Alchemy in such a short period without any background.

At this moment, a rainbow of sword light.

The sword light meandered unpredictably, its origin unknown, as was its destination.

The Celestial Dragon Swordsmanship captures the true intent of heaven’s will, elusive and unpredictable.

When the sword was drawn, the sword rainbow roamed, like a divine dragon soaring to the skies, its head seen but not its tail.

Though every time in fierce battle with the enemy, this swordsmanship and its Sword Qi Rainbow Transformation always managed to achieve success.

However, the Dragon Maiden Ziyun knew that this time was utterly different.

She couldn’t comprehend at all.

How could a young one, not even twenty, develop such an eerily powerful soul attack, and also train in the sword technique of Sword Rainbow Splitting Light?

Dang…

In a clear sword hum.

Ziyun saw her purple Flying Cloud Sword being intercepted by a jade-colored spirit sword, sparks and flames splattering when she unconsciously crushed a small jade token from her chest.

The token exploded into a burst of firelight, and the figure of the Dragon Maiden Ziyun faded from solid to virtual, revealing an invisible and formless light network in mid-air.

As soon as the light network appeared, it split open, and Ziyun’s body transformed into a stream of light, directly passing through.

Slap…

Her delicate and voluptuous body, after passing through this world’s membrane, paused in mid-air, with blood suddenly gushing like a fountain from her neck.

A head slowly slid down, as her powerless body collapsed.

“No…”

From a distance, a man in a green robe sitting quietly on the deck of the Cloud Sea Flying Boat suddenly opened his eyes, seeing this scene, letting out a roar, causing countless thunders to burst in the void.

Tears of blood flowed from the eyes of the man in the green robe, and in a flash, he reached the side of the Dragon Maiden Ziyun, holding her limp body. His divine thought explored, discovering that Dragon Maiden Ziyun’s physical body had been completely destroyed, the Dragon Essence Sword Qi was fiercely unmatched, severing meridians and pathways, shattering the Dao Foundation, and cutting off vitality.

What was most terrifying was that within this sword elemental power, there was actually a trace of divine will at the Dao Alchemy level, carrying a destructive force that shone like the bright moon, breaking the whole with a single point.

The Dragon Maiden Ziyun’s body was not only destroyed beyond salvation, but her soul was also shattered in half, and would disperse long-term if delayed by a split second more.

“I won’t let you die.”

Ji Hai’s eyes flooded red, with a swipe of his hand, retrieving a piece of luminous purple wood from a verdant ring on his ring finger, gathering soul power, he collected the remnant soul of the Dragon Maiden Ziyun, infusing it into the Soul Nourishing Wood.

Having done this, he grunted in pain, unable to suppress his anger, his entire body trembling, as he suddenly pressed down with a palm.

Buzz…

The surrounding hundred-mile void vibrated violently, countless lightning and fierce flames converged, forming a gigantic hand with dense palm lines, crashing down mightily.

Chen Ping’s thoughts stirred, he moved freely through the void, using Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation. Nine intangible and formless sword lights converged into one, transforming into a light pill, swallowed down with one gulp.

Just as he was about to transform into Wind Thunder Escape and return to Rising Dragon Pass.

Suddenly, his whole body went cold, like a frog being stared down by a venomous snake, goosebumps rising all over his body.

Before he could understand what was happening, he saw an intricate light network, spanning the skies and ground like a heavenly curtain, appearing in the sky ahead.

The light network suddenly appeared and was pressed down by an enormous hand, crashing heavily towards his body.

At the same time, a murderous intent transmitted into his heart from some unknown distance in the void.

The gigantic hand seal halted, yet it couldn’t shake the light network.

He faintly heard a roar of extreme anger, “Chen Ping, if you have the courage, come out.”

It turns out their actions are actually a form of impotent rage.

“If you have the courage, come in.”

Chen Ping laughed softly.

In his current realm of sword light cultivation, divine will was integrated into the sword light, as if he had grown an additional pair of eyes.

He naturally understood that when the Dragon Maiden Ziyun was hit with his “Water Moon Mirror Light,” there was no choice but to fight. The result, under the bizarre sword technique of Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation, she had no power to resist whatsoever.

It further proves one thing, that in the Dao Foundation Realm, regardless of how the physical body is cultivated to reach high levels, it can’t withstand a single strike from a spiritual treasure sword.

The Stand-In Puppet is, after all, an extremely precious treasure, carrying one with her already shows Ziyun’s considerable assets. In the second beheading, finally, no one could save her.

Nonetheless, the only pity was that when Chen Ping struck, the Dragon Maiden Ziyun had already activated the jade pendant for teleportation escape, unable to personally inspect his victorious spoils.

“With the head severed, and the body completely destroyed and shattered by the sword essence, it should be beyond saving.”

Chen Ping, without seeing the situation on the other side, roughly guessed the state of the Dragon Maiden Ziyun.

It’s possible some part of the soul might be saved back, but at the Dao Foundation Level, there aren’t capabilities for possession and reincarnation. Even a soul at the Law Dao Alchemy level lacks this ability.

“I am rather curious, what other methods does Ji Hai have to save her? More likely, it will become a tale of love unfulfilled between man and ghost.”

Helplessly watching his loved one, with her shadow life exhausted, and soul dissipating.

Such a feeling must be quite bittersweet.

The only thing to consider is, this time, they’ve truly made a mortal enemy out of Ji Hai.

Assuming no surprises, although unable to get in,

he will certainly try everything possible, keeping a watchful eye outside this world.

That is certainly a problem.

But, after all, that’s a matter for later, no need to consider it for now.

Chen Ping looked back at the void where the law’s light network was hidden, letting out a cold laugh, and turned back to return to the city wall.

For Divine Martial Realm cultivators who know how to fly, no matter how high the city walls are built, it actually serves no real purpose.
