Chapter 1459: Chapter 131: A Thread Falling Between Heaven and Earth
Since the Blood Demon’s life blood had the potential to awaken, Jiang Wang couldn’t give it too much time.
Different levels of strong individuals utilize the same power in vastly differing ways. In the Ancient Demon Cave of the Wu Yadu Mountains, the Black Clothed Demon Tribe had taught Jiang Wang this lesson well.
Jiang Wang was about to walk out when Yu Beidou said, "Wait, take this."
A colorful kasaya floated down before Jiang Wang, and he caught it with one hand.
The texture was rough, but holding it brought a soothing sense of calm.
But the famously shrewd Yu Beidou taking out a kasaya seemed rather awkward.
Jiang Wang paused: "What is this?"
Yu Beidou stared intently at the ornate elderly man on the ground, his gaze unwavering: "After exterminating that orb of life blood, use this demon-suppressing kasaya to wrap it. Then bury it at the ’point of repression’ in Stone Valley. Your Knife Coin will lead you there when the time comes."
It turns out this bizarre stone valley had a name, called Stone Valley, which was quite fitting.
"Demon-suppressing kasaya?" Jiang Wang asked. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Yu Beidou explained: "This Stone Valley is a natural array, I paused it when entering so you didn’t feel it. ’Repression’, akin to ’pressure’. The so-called ’point of repression’ is the core place that suppresses the power of Stone Valley. The Blood Demon can split life blood to save itself; conversely, we can use that orb of life blood to counter with its body and accelerate its destruction. To achieve this, both the point of repression and the demon-suppressing kasaya are essential."
"I’m asking..." Jiang Wang said quietly, "Aren’t you a Prime Minister? Why take out a kasaya?"
Yu Beidou wasn’t convenient to look back at him, but you could hear some disdain in his tone: "It’s good enough to have something functional. Young people shouldn’t be too picky. What’s wrong with a kasaya? As long as it works, you can even use a belly wrap! Back in my younger days, times were tough; we had to stretch every coin... Speaking of which, would you give me a discount? ... Hey, how come you’re leaving? No manners!"
Jiang Wang didn’t have the patience to listen to Yu Beidou’s nostalgic ramblings. He gripped his sword and dashed out of the cave, with the Knife Coin diligently leading the way in front.
Within this valley full of strange stones, Jiang Wang walked on air, avoiding contact with those odd stones to not disturb that formation. The blood stream continued to snakely meander, it’s unclear what scale the blood stream might grow to when the Blood Demon is fully destroyed.
Before long, Jiang Wang and the Knife Coin traversed Stone Valley.
Before them was still the narrow sky, impossible to see the end. The cramped Broken Soul Gorge felt as if trapping heaven and earth here.
Being within it, one was merely a prisoner.
Underfoot, the Qingyun Mark continuously appeared and vanished, as Jiang Wang suddenly accelerated.
In this gorge, he transformed into a streak of azure lightning, streaking through the hollow fog, swiftly becoming distant.
As he accelerated, the Qi Knife Coin did the same.
Although not visible for now, Jiang Wang firmly believed that the vague line still linked them, allowing such synchronization.
A ball of life blood, what could it transform into?
The so-called "source of the Blood Demon," the so-called "awakening," directed where?
The life blood divided by the Blood Demon, why did it flee deeper into Broken Soul Gorge, was it just to buy time for awakening?
Deep within Broken Soul Gorge... what is there?
The whooshing wind could offer no answers.
But amidst his swift flight, Jiang Wang suddenly felt alert.
A sharp wind assailed!
A guandao swept forward, cutting directly toward the Qi Knife Coin in front.
All the way from Zhao Country to Broken Soul Gorge, this was the first time anyone had seen the Knife Coin and tried to attack it... This was a very high level insight, but unfortunately, the Knife Coin was not severed.
As the guandao descended, the Knife Coin was slashed away, but it soon flew back, flipping continuously in the air, indicating the target had been found!
And a bulging large hand reached out, gripping the guandao’s handle.
Emerging suddenly from a nearby cliff was a brawny man clad in Ming Guang armor, with imposing features and a powerful presence.
If not for the Knife Coin guided by Yu Beidou, one would never see he was merely a ball of life blood separated by the Blood Demon,
As the hand gripped the guandao’s handle, it came to life, extremely agile. With just a tremor against the wind, it already cleaved forward.
This strike was like a Jiao Dragon emerging from the sea, stirring up a tempest.
The air was directly split, terrifying shockwaves crashing against the cliff walls on both sides, producing fierce collision sounds.
Yet the man was silent.
His gaze was icy, only the purest killing intent surging.
He was unlike a human, more like a murderous puppet!
Jiang Wang advanced rather than retreating, Longing already rang out of its sheath.
Clang~!
A decade of destitution, life and death enmity.
A line fell between heaven and earth, and yet another line opened.
The vertically cleaving guandao collided with the horizontally sweeping Longing, sparks flew from blade and sword edge.
The guandao trembled, the blade edge tracing a zigzag in its rapid and brief vibration, parting the sword momentum easily as if a butcher dissecting an ox.
Jiang Wang withdrew the longsword, instantly bursting into silver light, forming a sword circle.
The silver-white sword circle created a brief fortress.
In mid-air, the man clad in Ming Guang armor withdrew the guandao and thrust.
The huge and fierce guandao was wielded like a dagger,
extremely agile.
The blade tip pinpointedly struck the silver-white sword circle. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Ping!
But a subtle sound of collision like that.
The sword circle shattered apart.
Jiang Wang slightly turned his head, a sliver of blade light grazed past his left cheek, cutting through the wind.
Though the sword circle crumbled, though the sword light scattered, amidst the "scattered soldiers," the body of Longing single-handedly bore the brunt, directly facing the opponent.
Like a rising bright moon breaking the long night of sleeplessness, it was the sublimed Lovers’ Swordsmanship.
The sword as a bright moon directly faced the opponent’s figure.
The man clad in Ming Guang armor showed not the slightest change in his gaze, only lightly pushing the blade handle, the guandao slanted down, slicing the bright moon, shattering the bright moon!
From the beginning until now, Jiang Wang hadn’t felt the opponent possessing exceptionally strong power, entirely matching what Yu Beidou had told him, being "within the Inner Mansion level."
Yet his blade moved like an unwinding phoenix, elusive and unpredictable, as if casually brushed, gracefully natural. He could always find the most suitable trajectory to "separate" the swordsmanship.
It was disintegration rather than confrontation.
Skill was near the Tao!
Jiang Wang considered his swordsmanship skills also approaching this Absolute Summit, not inferior to Qin Zhizhen by much, even in duel with the formidable Ning Jianke within the Taixu Illusion Realm, it was back and forth.
But in front of this man clad in Ming Guang armor, it was as if his swordsmanship had no secrets. Like a once intact person, dismembered at a glance.
This was truly alarming!
Was this the "gradually awakening combat instincts" that Yu Beidou warned of?
Just instincts?
Though amazed, Jiang Wang was fearless, without a hint of discouragement, stepping on the Qingyun Mark, retreating swiftly... and advancing again!
As he retreated, he began to tap into the Five Mansions.
As he advanced again, five radiant sources within his body lit successively, immediately the Five Mansions illuminated together!
Five Divine Power Lights shone upon this body, flowed into the longsword.
At this instant, he was dazzlingly radiant, emitting brilliance, directly facing the opponent, a sword thrusting down like a mountain collapse!
Recreating the eternal Absolute Summit sword at Guanhe Platform.
Yet stronger than that day!
If combat skill couldn’t prevail, then break through with sheer force.
At the Inner Mansion level, Tianfu was undoubtedly the highest peak.
And Jiang Wang stood at this peak.
