Chapter 146: One Net to Catch All (Part 2)
Xuantian unfolded the Xuanjie middle-grade light skill 'Ghost Shadow Divine Movement', closely chasing after him, his feet stomping the ground with immense force, causing his speed to explosively increase, still much faster than Deng Qianjun.
Deng Qianjun ran for over a thousand meters, and soon a cold voice sounded from behind him: "Kill you, and only Deng Wanchuan that old rascal will be left alone. A small eighth-grade family dares to chase and kill the inner disciples of the Tianjian Sect? I'll take care of all of you at once."
As soon as the voice fell, a chill seemed to sweep through the air, making Deng Qianjun's back feel cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Surging sword energy, like a violent storm condensed into a line, fell on Deng Qianjun's back. He could feel that behind the sword energy, there was a powerful sword tip, bursting towards his back with explosive force.
"Can't escape...!" Deng Qianjun's heart was filled with a chill, and vaguely, he saw from the distant mountain ridge in front of him, a black-clad figure rapidly approaching.
Deng Qianjun was like a drowning man clutching at a straw and shouted loudly: "Fourth Elder, save me!"
However, the black-clad man on the mountain ridge in front was still more than two miles away and could not be rescued in a short period of time. Deng Qianjun would need to drag on for at least twenty breaths under Xuantian Sword before he could wait for the arrival of the Fourth Elder Deng Wanchuan.
"I'll defend with all my might and can definitely hold on for twenty breaths." Deng Qianjun gave himself a pep talk, and in an instant, his determination was strengthened.
The sword energy that came from behind, Deng Qian could feel it, Xuan Tian's sword, at this moment, was stabbing straight into his back.
In an instant, Deng Qianjun turned around, his right hand grasping the Xuanjie lower-grade treasure sword. With one sword across his chest, his left hand pushed forward with a palm strike on the side of the sword. Both hands simultaneously exerted force, pushing the treasure sword forward to block Xuantian's fatal blow.
Deng Qianjun's figure paused, that surging sword energy. Like a violent storm blowing by, the dazzling sword tip. Like a cold star shooting down, it struck Deng Qianjun's treasured sword.
Although the sword hilt is more solid than the sword energy, it is ultimately a virtual existence condensed from the innate true energy. Although its power is enormous, it was instantly scattered by a lower-grade treasure sword of the Xuan stage.
A hundred-foot-long sword tip, in an instant, stabbed to the end. Xuan Tian held the 'Zhong Yue Sword' and stabbed straight forward. In a flash, he arrived in front of Deng Qianjun.
Deng Qianjun held a sword horizontally in front of his chest, and with both hands pushing the sword, unless Xuan Tian's this sword could directly knock off the treasured sword in his hand, he would not be able to kill Deng Qianjun. Otherwise, no matter how strong the power was, it would only make Deng Qianjun suffer from the shock of the innate true energy, get some injuries, and his body would instead follow the power of Xuan Tian's this sword, escape far away, pull open the distance between him and Xuan Tian, and delay time.
Just as Xuan Tian's sword tip was about to pierce Deng Qianjun's sword body, Xuan Tian's sword style suddenly changed.
The air in the void splits into two sides, automatically without wind, following the sword body, producing two streams of airflow.
Chasing Wind Nine Swords - Breaking Wind Style.
There was no wind originally, but with Xuantian's sword rising, the airflow moved, and wind was generated. Xuantian's sword cut the wind in half, and the sword shadow appeared and disappeared in the two air flows.
If Xuan Tian's sword were to change direction and stab at his brow or throat, Deng Qianjun would be able to react in time and block Xuan Tian's sword.
However, Xuan Tian suddenly changed his sword move. Although he no longer had that swift and deadly momentum, he stabbed in two directions with one sword, making it difficult for people to discern the real from the fake, and defend against it.
This sword 'Breaking Wind Style' doesn't have the great power of the Xuanjie Sword Technique, but it is a creation of Xuantian himself. In terms of subtlety, it even surpasses it.
"Po Feng Shi" is just the starting move of "Zhui Feng Jiu Jian", however, Xuan Tian once relied on this sword technique to defeat many opponents with higher cultivation than him.
Even in the outer disciple ranking competition of Tiānjiàn Zōng, Xuán Tiān Jiàn defeated Fán Hóng, who was two realms higher than him, with just this move 'Break Wind Style' while still in its scabbard, enough to prove the subtlety of 'Break Wind Style'.
At this moment, Xuan Tian and Deng Qian were close at hand, and there was no need for the sword move to have great power. The mid-grade treasure 'Zhong Yue Sword' in Xuan's possession was already the greatest power, able to easily break through the protective true energy of a pre-heavenly realm middle-stage martial artist. Furthermore, with Xuan Tian's thick pre-heavenly true energy supporting him, as long as he was stabbed, it would almost be a fatal blow.
Although the "Po Feng Style" is slightly slower than the "Jue Ying Sword Method", it's only relative, and Xuan Tian's speed is absolutely as fast as lightning. Deng Qianjun didn't have time to think, his treasured sword swept out horizontally, directly chopping towards Xuan Tian's head.
Even if he didn't know where to dodge, Deng Qianjun was not stupid and did not try his luck. Instead, he adopted a desperate approach, forcing Xuan Tian to retreat, thus resolving the crisis.
However, Deng Qianjun obviously underestimated Xuan Tian's speed. As soon as his sword move was made, his throat felt a chill, and the 'Zhong Yue Sword' stabbed in from the front and pierced through from the back, piercing his throat.
A sword through the throat.
Deng Qianjun's eyes lost their luster in an instant, and he died instantly, but his eyes were still wide open, filled with incredulity.
Deng Qianjun died, his sword aura that swept out instantly dissipated. The treasure sword was sharp, but without the support of the innate true energy, it was like losing the source of power, and its attacking power greatly reduced. Xuan Tian stretched out two fingers with his left palm, and pinched the sword tip. The innate true energy shook, and Deng Qianjun, who had already become a corpse, instantly let go, and the treasure sword fell into Xuan Tian's hand.
He drew back 'Reyue Sword', and the blood arrow shot out from Deng Qianjun's throat, his body fell to the ground.
Xuantian inserted the recovered treasure sword into the ground, holding the 'Heavy Mountain Sword' in his right hand, standing beside Deng Qianjun's corpse. The sword tip hung down at an angle, a string of fresh blood dripping onto the ground.
Deng Qianjun was killed in an instant, and Deng Wanchuan had only advanced less than 300 meters when he was still two miles away from here.
Two li is about one kilometer away, approximately two thousand steps.
Being a master at the pinnacle of innate realm, one can take down an enemy from a thousand steps away, but cannot lend a helping hand even two miles away.
"How dare you! ——" Seeing Deng Qianjun being pierced through the throat by Xuan Tian's sword, Deng Wanchuan let out a furious roar.
The ground was covered in fresh blood, Xuan Tian stood beside the corpse, coldly staring at Deng Wan Chuan's rapidly approaching figure. With a concentrated True Qi, he formed a sound wave and loudly declared: "Old thing, these nine people have all fallen under my sword, only you are left, quickly come to receive your death."
What? Are they all dead?
Deng Wanchuan heard this and felt a pang of sadness in his heart. Among these nine people, only three were warriors with four layers of innate realm, who were family guests. The other six were all elites of the Deng family, especially Deng Qianjun, Deng Qianfeng, and Deng Qianguo, who were outstanding figures among the second generation of the Deng family and had hopes of entering the sixth layer of the innate realm in the future to become pillars of the family.
Originally thought that with ten people entering the Yin Wind Mountains to hunt down a First Heaven Realm junior, it wouldn't be difficult to capture him?
But the result was far from what he had imagined, and except for Deng Wanchuan, all the people of the Deng family were defeated, which made Deng Wanchuan extremely angry.
Deng Wanchuan, confident in his profound cultivation and immense strength, was not intimidated by Xuantian despite the latter having killed nine people. He strode forward quickly, furious, saying: "You little beast, you actually...you actually killed them all! You deserve to die! Deserve to die......I, your elder, will absolutely not let you off!"
Xuantian let out a cold laugh and said: "I should die? Hahaha... Old thief, do you know: Heaven's fault can be forgiven, but one's own fault cannot. The Deng family is so bold, daring to chase and kill the inner disciples of the Tianjian Sect. This is truly reckless and arrogant, their crime deserves punishment. Deng Fei ordered his family to harm fellow sect members, committing a capital offense against our sect. Deng Wanchuan, not only will you die, but when I return to the sect, your genius son Deng Fei will also die. Your entire Deng family will be expelled from the Shendao Kingdom."
Deng Wanchuan's body suddenly shook violently, and he stopped his body more than 200 meters in front of Xuantian. His eyes were filled with horror, and he said in a cold voice: "You know all this? You know all about it?"
Xuantian let out a cold shout: "I had no feud with Deng Fei, but he insisted on being the lapdog of Chu Feng and wanted to send me to my death. You Deng family not only want to harm my family, but also want to hunt me down in the Yin Wind Mountains. This is completely seeking death yourself, don't blame others! Deng Wanchuan, what are you hiding for? Show your true face, I'll let you die with a clear conscience."
"Hahahaha…… Hehehe…… Arrogant!" Deng Wanchuan laughed furiously, seemingly greatly shocked, his demeanor somewhat manic. He tore off the black cloth covering his face, and a voice full of killing intent rang out: "You little beast, since you know so clearly, I, the old man, cannot let you live in this world. Your cultivation has actually broken through again, reaching the third level of the Pre-Heavenly Realm? It seems your strength has increased not a little, but even if we both perish together, I will still make sure you die."
Deng Wanchuan drew out the mid-grade Xuanjie sword in his hand, pointed at Xuantian and said word by word: "I say you die, you must die."
Xuantian smiled slightly and said, "Old thing, don't talk too big, there are many people who want to kill me, but in the end, I'm still alive and well, it's them who die."
Deng Wanchuan was filled with confidence, and burst out laughing: "Ignorant people, even if they managed to survive a few times by luck, will ultimately die. Today, I'll let you see what it means to have the skills of a killer."
"Cut the crap, old man, leave your dog's head behind."
Xuantian let out a cold shout, took one step forward and stomped the ground fiercely. The earth was like a giant spring, Xuantian's body suddenly bounced back up, like a sharp arrow, shooting towards Deng Wanchuan.
At the same time, a surging momentum burst forth, and the air around him instantly turned scorching hot. A sword shot out, with the Primordial True Fire condensing into a flame-like sword shadow that stabbed straight at Deng Wanchuan's chest.
Blazing Fire Heaven Sword - One sword sets heaven ablaze.
The overbearing momentum generates massive waves that surge in all directions, scorching hot air forms layers of virtual flames, engulfing the surroundings.
Overbearing, swift and mighty, all in this 'One Sword Burns The Heaven'.
Deng Wanchuan's figure moved in an instant, like a flash of lightning, dodging the Flame Sword's attack. In mid-air, he performed the Nine Transformations, instantly slashing out nine golden sword lights.
Golden Mang Nine Swords!
Deng Wanchuan unleashed the Golden Mang Nine Swords, faster than Deng Qianguo's speed, stronger in power, and more perfect in angle. The nine golden sword auras simultaneously slashed towards Xuantian from different directions.
