Chapter 218: If Really Facing Death

Chapter 218: If Really Facing Death

The figure itself was not particularly powerful, but Daoist Master Ironcloud's cultivation realm was too high; far surpassing that of Chen Chao and Yu Xiyi. Hence, it naturally gave off an overwhelming sense of strength at this moment.

Yun Jianyue sensed the pervasive murderous intent but did not find it frightening. It was because Daoist Master Ironcloud's target was never him. However, he was also pondering at this moment, what made Daoist Master Ironcloud so furious? Even if the intrusion of Chen Chao and Yu Xiyi onto the mountain was a significant issue that embarrassed the Sublime Bright Sect, did it really warrant Daoist Master Ironcloud's personal intervention? Furthermore, how could the palpable murderous intent be fake?

Yu Xiyi paid no attention to what this Daoist Master Ironcloud was thinking. In an instant, a sword cry reverberated throughout the sky. That green-colored flying sword left its sheath, sweeping up a harrowing sword qi, and shot towards the heavens.

Although this sword cultivator had sustained some injuries in the cave earlier, the pride in his bones could not be hidden at this moment. Since he was already being targeted by Daoist Master Ironcloud, let there be another battle. The outcome was of little concern.

The flying sword that originated from Sword Qi Mountain was incredibly sharp. Coupled with the sword cultivator's cultivation realm that was truly not low, tearing through that qi blockade was no issue. The green flying sword swiftly surged forth, crashing into that Daoist Master Ironcloud in an extremely decisive manner.

The current Daoist Master Ironcloud was beyond furious because when that flying sword built momentum, he sensed that the sword intent in Yu Xiyi's body was precisely the same sword intent he discovered in the cave earlier. The two were of the same origin; there was no difference.

In other words, this young sword cultivator in front of him was definitely the sword cultivator who entered that cave earlier.

That meant the piece of paper was likely with him too.

Thinking of this, Daoist Master Ironcloud became particularly angry. How could he hold back when attacking?

What did the all-out attack of a Nepenthe cultivator mean?

Perhaps only Yu Xiyi knew at this moment.

All the pressure in the world fell on him at this moment.

Wild Grass hummed continuously, not out of fear but excitement. This flying sword was never afraid. When facing stronger opponents, it only grew more excited.

Yu Xiyi's green hair swayed in the wind, and his green robe rustled.

Between heaven and earth, a terrifying aura permeated.

Daoist Master Ironcloud watched the flying sword arrive in front of him, showing no emotion. He just waved his hand, and his daoist robe billowed, colliding with the flying sword. The sword qi was instantly torn apart by the powerful aura. The flying sword wavered but stubbornly continued to stab forward.

Daoist Master Ironcloud remained silent. He just looked at the flying sword stabbing toward his robe. Then, he glanced at Yu Xiyi indifferently. The flying sword kept piercing forward, but its efforts were in vain. The blade gradually bent into a strange arc.

Yu Xiyi's complexion turned pale and a trickle of blood flowed from his lips.

Daoist Master Ironcloud's expression remained unchanged. His thoughts just stirred slightly and the flying sword straightened out instantly. However, it was knocked flying, transforming into a streak of sword light that cut down numerous trees. This flying sword was really tenacious, had it been any other flying sword, it would have likely snapped long ago. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Seeing this scene, Daoist Master Ironcloud furrowed his brows slightly, thinking of something. Nevertheless, he did not say anything, merely raising his hand and pressing down towards Yu Xiyi.

Right at this moment, a glimmer of saber light appeared here.

Compared to Yu Xiyi's flying sword earlier, this saber light was clearly much weaker. Daoist Master Ironcloud did not even need to pay special attention to it, he just waved his sleeve and that saber light dissipated completely, unable to pose any threat to him.

However, after dispelling that one saber light, more saber lights emerged.

Daoist Master Ironcloud lowered his head to look and discovered that black-clad youth as well as the broken saber in his hand.

"Killing my sect members and daring to come up the mountain, you have no notion of life or death!"

With just one glance, Daoist Master Ironcloud recognized Chen Chao. This warden of Rainwater Commandery killed his most beloved disciple. Although Daoist Master Ironcloud was not too sad, he felt a little humiliated. Since Yu Xiyi had entered that cave before, how could this youth in front of him not be involved?

The terrifying aura continued to descend, revealing the culmination of Daoist Master Ironcloud's many years of bitter cultivation. Yu Xiyi's complexion became somewhat ugly. In the letter that the Temple Master had written to him, it mentioned that this Sublime Bright Sect Master had excellent talent but was hindered by his state of mind, making him stagnant. However, the display of strength by Daoist Master Ironcloud was telling him that the Temple Master's understanding was incorrect.

He was trembling all over, with multiple broken bones in his body and numerous wounds appearing on his entire body. Blood flowed continuously from those wounds, but he did not die, nor did he kneel.

He was still standing.

Daoist Master Ironcloud witnessed this scene and had to accept this fact. However, just because he could accept the truth, did that mean he would not take any action?

Failing to kill a youngster in the Bitter Sea Realm twice in a row was unacceptable for Daoist Master Ironcloud.

If two attempts failed, then he would naturally have to go all-out on his third try.

So, Daoist Master Ironcloud would surely exert his utmost effort for his next attack.

Even if going all out might seem a little laughable.

The other party was just a Bitter Sea Realm after all.

But Daoist Master Ironcloud still struck.

That was an attack belonging to that of a Nepenthe powerhouse.

Under his all-out attack, what reason could Chen Chao have to survive?

Yu Xiyi had no strength left to continue fighting and Yun Jianyue would not intervene for his sake. Even if he wanted to, there was no guarantee of victory.

Hence, the only path available to Chen Chao might be death.

He was not afraid of death.

But he did not want to die either.

So he would not die.

......

......

A man arrived outside of that Sublime Bright Mountain.

Many people would come here today. Their objective would all be the same: to climb up the mountain. But the earliest was still him.

It was not because the place he departed from was closest to the Sublime Bright Mountain, but because he set out early enough and he moved swiftly enough. Therefore, it allowed him to arrive at this mountain first before everyone else.

Taking a look at the mountain, the man took a step forward.

That was just a very ordinary step.

But the entire Sublime Bright Mountain began trembling at this moment.

That was a terrifying step.

The man was expressionless.

But there was a hint of satisfaction between his brows.
