Chapter 137: Using Fingers as Swords

Chapter 137: Using Fingers as Swords Translator: Cinder Translations

---

The flying sword successfully pierced behind Wu Ren but was stopped just half an inch in. Wu Ren swiftly mobilized his internal energy to block the strike.

"Die!"

A surge of corpse fiendish energy erupted from Wu Ren's back, forming a black sword that aimed straight at Song Wen's heart.

Song Wen's body exploded again, scattering into four pieces.

Eight miles away, Song Wen appeared abruptly, still shaken.

Golden Core cultivators were indeed too powerful, not even giving him a chance to launch a surprise attack. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He flew into the air and shouted loudly once more.

"Wu Ren is here! Wu Ren is here! Wu Ren is here..."

A streak of red appeared in the sky, flying rapidly toward him.

Song Wen's face brightened with hope.

Finally, salvation...

A startling flash of light cut through the air, and Song Wen was split into two halves!

Yan Yuyan, undeterred, glanced with some disdain at the two halves of Song Wen.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator daring to scream in front of her was simply seeking death!

However, the information he provided was indeed true.

Wu Ren was just a few miles ahead!

Snow-white sword light surged out again, heading straight for Wu Ren.

At that moment, Yan Yuyan suddenly sensed something was amiss.

The person she had just cleaved into two was not a living person but a puppet made from a corpse.

The real cultivator should have been on a broad river several miles away.

In that instant, Yan Yuyan hesitated, but quickly refocused, continuing to channel the Snow Condensing Sword toward Wu Ren.

Today, Wu Ren must die!

Wu Ren, watching the flying sword of light approaching at high speed, was furious.

Not only had he failed to kill the murderer of his grandson, but the person had also summoned Yan Yuyan.

Facing the rapidly approaching Yan Yuyan, Wu Ren roared.

"Lei Jun is not here, do you think you alone can kill me?"

"Roar!"

A silver corpse puppet appeared in front of Lei Jun.

This was a third-tier corpse puppet, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator!

The third-tier corpse puppet took to the air, bypassing the flying sword, and directly attacked Yan Yuyan from behind.

Wu Ren's internal fiendish energy manifested as a dragon, wrapping around the Snow Condensing Sword.

The fiendish dragon seemed almost real, opening its black mouth and biting down on the sword's blade.

The Snow Condensing Sword's sword aura surged, suddenly erupting into a dazzling beam of light extending several dozen meters.

The sword light pierced through the fiendish dragon, but did not completely destroy it, only making it somewhat more illusory.

The fiendish dragon managed to entangle the Snow Condensing Sword.

The silver corpse lunged at Yan Yuyan, raising its black claws to strike her on the head.

A red silk ribbon flew out from Yan Yuyan's body. The ribbon glowed fiercely, blocking the silver corpse's claws.

Despite the surging fiendish energy, the seemingly delicate red ribbon had no trouble holding back the silver corpse's claws.

The red ribbon coiled around the silver corpse's arm, then its head, body, and legs.

In an instant, the silver corpse was tightly bound.

Seeing this, Wu Ren, who was about to form a seal, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned even paler.

His injuries were more severe than he had anticipated.

Grinding his teeth, Wu Ren's eyes gleamed with fierce determination as he shouted in a desperate roar.

"Explode!"

The silver corpse's body was enveloped in a brilliant silver light, its aura becoming wild and violent. A destructive force radiated from it.

Yan Yuyan's cold face instantly turned to shock and fear, and she turned to flee from the silver corpse.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion followed.

A ferocious gale swept in all directions.

The wind roared and clouds surged!

The red ribbon shattered into countless fragments, swept up by the gale and blown away.

Before Yan Yuyan could escape, her figure was abruptly blown apart and fell toward the distant ground.

"Boom!"

Yan Yuyan's graceful body, akin to a high-speed falling meteor, smashed through countless trees and carved out a dirt trench several dozen meters long before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, Yan Yuyan no longer resembled the cold and proud sword fairy she once was. Her appearance was utterly miserable.

The intense explosion, combined with the violent impact, had torn her red robe to shreds. Her once snow-white skin was mostly shattered, with blood and flesh in a mess, bleeding profusely.

She struggled to stand up from the dirt, only to see Wu Ren cackling maniacally as he approached.

"A talented sword cultivator from the righteous path, and this is all you amount to."

"You made me lose a silver corpse, and now I will refine you into a new silver corpse."

"Hehehe..."

"It's such a pity to turn such a beautiful body into a silver corpse."

Yan Yuyan lifted her face, which was scratched and bloody from the ground, appearing quite terrifying. In her resolute eyes, there seemed to be a glimmer of sword light.

"Hmph! If you want to kill me, let's see if you have the capability."

"Snow Condensing Sword!"

The all-white Snow Condensing Sword shot from a distance, carrying overwhelming sword aura, slicing toward Wu Ren.

Wu Ren sneered.

"You sword cultivators are so boring, always using just one flying sword."

As he spoke, a pale funeral banner flew out from Wu Ren's body, expanding rapidly into a size of ten feet.

The funeral banner emitted a vast amount of ghostly energy, covering the flying sword.

Yan Yuyan, severely injured, saw her sword's power greatly diminished. For a moment, she couldn't break through the ghostly energy from the funeral banner.

Wu Ren moved in close, attacking Yan Yuyan.

Yan Yuyan's eyes flashed sharply; instead of retreating, she advanced.

Her right hand made a sword gesture, with sword aura crisscrossing at her slender fingertips, breaking through mountains and rivers.

The sword point struck Wu Ren's chest.

Wu Ren's face showed shock; he hadn't expected that even without her long sword and despite her severe injuries, Yan Yuyan could still unleash such a formidable and terrifying sword aura with just her fingertips.

In a panic, Wu Ren summoned a large amount of corpse fiendish energy in front of him.

The fiendish energy gradually solidified, forming a shield.

However, before the shield could fully materialize, Yan Yuyan's sword point arrived.

The sword point struck the fiendish shield, causing it to instantly dissipate, but this bought Wu Ren a brief moment of time.

He slightly shifted his body, avoiding a fatal blow to the heart.

The extremely sharp sword aura pierced through Wu Ren's right chest, emerging from his back and carrying away half of his rear.

Wu Ren had a wound the size of two fingers on his right chest, and a large hole as big as half a face on his back.

Moreover, there were remnants of sword aura still wreaking havoc within his organs.

At the moment Yan Yuyan's sword point hit Wu Ren's chest, Wu Ren also struck down with his palm.

The strike was initially aimed at Yan Yuyan's head but, as she dodged sideways, it landed on her left shoulder.

Her entire left arm was severed at the root, the shoulder bone completely shattered, as if half of her body had been destroyed.

Both of them were thrown backward, falling to the ground several dozen meters away.

In the River

Using the ability of the death substitute puppet, Song Wen avoided Yan Yuyan's killing blow and appeared on the surface of a large river several miles away.

He quickly dove into the riverbed, concealing his presence, and turned himself into an object with no aura, swept along by the rushing river.

Once a cultivator reaches Foundation Establishment, they transcend the mortal realm and can survive for long periods without food or air as long as they have sufficient spiritual energy.

Suddenly.

He felt a pain in his brow!

It was the Black Armored Bug he had left on the shore, which was accidentally killed by the final sword aura activated by Yan Yuyan.

However, he had just witnessed the scene of both combatants being severely injured.

A fierce look flashed in Song Wen's eyes. Wu Ren knew he was the one who killed Wu Su, and leaving him alive would be a disaster.

Now was the perfect time to eliminate him.

TL Note: Damn, I was thinking the same thing... I don't know if that is a good thing.

Song Wen stabilized his body, which was being washed by the river water, and tapped the storage bag at his waist.

Two second-tier corpse puppets emerged from the water.

Guided by the Black Armored Bug, the two puppets rushed out of the river and headed toward the battlefield.

Song Wen found a cave at the riverbed, retracted his aura, and hid inside.

Feeling it was still not secure enough, he set up the "Breath Concealment and Spirit Isolation Array" in the cave.

The array master had claimed that this formation could deceive the spiritual sense of Golden Core cultivators; hopefully, it would be as he said.
