845 Heading to Dragon City (1/2)
The eyes of both elders were full of astonishment. They practiced the most advanced Cold attribute martial art techniques, and, once it was activated, their Cold Qi would fill the sky. But right now, it was completely restrained by the quaint flaming longsword. The Cold Qi had barely appeared, and the next moment, it was completely undone.
Just what kind of weapon was this sword? The two of them were secretly astonished. One mere weapon had actually restrained them to such an extent.
The light of the longsword grew brighter. The next moment, a wave of Qi energy swept out and an incredibly poweful pressure burst forth.
”Not good. That is a profound level weapon and a rather high-ranking one at that!” One of the elders was so shocked that he turned pale as he desperately tried to retreat. The other elder hurriedly took out a jade fan from his clothes. The fan was made of white jade and was smooth and silky. Once it appeared, more powerful Cold Qi surged out.
The white jade fan was also a profound level weapon. The spiritual power waves from it were far fiercer than those emitted by ordinary spiritual weapons.
The white-haired elder frantically waved the fan. The next moment, a beam of Cold Qi shot up to the sky. It managed to disperse the surrounding heat but only affected the surrounding three meters. As he watched, this area affected by the Cold Qi was constantly shrinking.
The other white-haired elder appeared behind the elder holding the jade fan with tacit understanding. He held a few spiritual stones in one hand while his other hand pressed against the back of the elder wielding the fan. He used the transmitting method to channel the spiritual energy extracted from the spiritual stones over to his colleague.
For an ancient martial art practitioner to use an immortal cultivator's magical treasure, they had to first convert spiritual stones into spiritual power. Only then could they use it.
However, the two elders had not expected that the flaming longsword did not need to charge up power as they did. It came cleaving downwards, and a beam of astonishing Sword Qi whistled past.
The two elders stared wide-eyed with their mouths open. They were terrified. They were facing a person who could actually use a profound level weapon without needing to charge up power. What was happening?
The two of them had planned to rely on the white jade fan to withstand the flaming ancient sword attack. But right now, they did not have enough time at all. They had only converted a fifth of the spiritual power.
Rumble!
The beam of Sword Qi disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. The entire mountain peak suddenly shook and large numbers of boulders rolled off the top of the mountain, rumbling down as though there was a landslide.
A deep ditch appeared between the two elders. It was two meters wide and was so deep that they could not see the bottom. They could faintly make out the red hot magma below them. Beams of formless Sword Qi danced around in the chasm. Right now, if an ordinary person appeared nearby, they would probably be immediately turned to dust by the formless Sword Qi.
The two elders glanced at each other and then looked at the chasm made by the sword at their feet. It was like a trench, almost cleaving the mountain peak in two.
If such a frightening attack was to come at them, even if they did not die, they would most likely be severely injured.
Both of them could tell that the Sword Qi was not aimed at them. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to still be standing here unscathed. The dark shadow seemed to have no intention of killing them and was merely there to scare them.
”Could it be that you are a legendary immortal cultivator?”
One of the elders looked at the dark shadow in astonishment. Only immortal cultivators could use magical treasures without needing to spend time gathering spiritual power. The sword slash just now had been too quick. It was impossible for him to have had the time to gather energy at all.
”I only wish to tell you that I have the ability to kill you both. You had better not provoke me,” the dark shadow stated nonchalantly.
”Provoke you? You came to the Baili Sect to threaten us! How are we are the ones who caused this provocation?” one of the elders shouted angrily. How could the person before him be so tyrannical?
”I am just giving you a reminder.” The dark shadow's tone was indifferent, remaining lofty and otherworldly throughout.
The two elders were furious, but they did not show it, forcibly controlling their tempers. They saw the scene before this play out in front of them. This mysterious person was indeed very frightening. Also, it was very likely that he was an immortal cultivator. Neither of them wished to provoke such a person.
”You do not need to threaten us at all. Yang Gongcheng's death is unrelated to us. Now that he is no longer sect leader, we can select another person to take the position. As long as you do not ruin our grand plans, we have no reason to offend you.”
After the two of them swallowed their anger, they finally chose to compromise. To make an enemy of this person because of Yang Gongcheng was not wise. Also, they were worried that even the two of them combined would not be a match for this mysterious stranger.
”I hope so.” The dark shadow left them with these words and then disappeared from the mountain peak with a flash of his silhouette. He came and went without a trace; his movement techniques were incredible. It surprised the two Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm elders once again. Just now, neither of them had managed to comprehend his movement techniques. It seemed to have surpassed their understanding.
”Maybe we truly encountered an immortal cultivator.”
The two elders glanced at each other and the same thought surfaced in their minds.
”Old Man Lu, are we just going to let this go?” one of the elders asked disgruntledly.
”We should let this matter slide. What else can we do about it? That person is obviously not someone we should offend. The Martial Arts Circle Convention is upon us; the Convention is our main priority. Refrain from any further complications. Compared to the Martial Arts Circle Convention, a dead Yang Gongcheng is not worth mentioning at all.” Old Man Lu shook his head.
