545 The Flaring Divine Robes (2/2)

The fallen knights were shocked into action after sensing the darkness and death in Long Qing's peach blossom. They shed away the natural fear they had for Ye Hongyu and drew their swords in a discordance that broke through the air. Dozens of Taoist Swords were drawn and flew towards the girl in a shrill buzz.

Ye Hongyu's expression changed slightly when Prince Long Qing called for his black peach blossom. She had sensed the deathly aura being emitted from it and thought of the massacre in the Zhishou Abbey; she then knew what had happened.

As for the dozens of powerful looking Taoist Swords, Ye Hongyu ignored them. She did not even set her mind on them. She just waved her hands, and holy Haotian Divine Light spread across the lake.

The fallen knights had all entered the Seethrough realm thanks to the Earth Pill. The commanders of the cavalry who had managed to survive all had higher cultivation states. Their Taoist Swords had also followed Prince Long Qing's aura and had turned a gloomy black after pledging their allegiance to Yama. Their power was terrifying and could tear apart the armor of an armored cavalry. Ordinary cultivators would not be able to stop them.

The West-Hill Divine Skill was the nemesis of this Gloomy Taoist Sword.

Of course, these black Taoist Swords flew across the lake's surface as if they could not be stopped. When they reached the ten feet of Haotian Divine Light surrounding Ye Hongyu, it was like ghosts meeting the intense sunlight. The swords trembled and released smoke. They emitted a terrible keening and did not seem as powerful as before.

Some of the black Taoist Swords sensed that something was not right and attempted to fly away from the boundaries of the Haotian Divine Light. However, they began to smoke as it seemed like there were several invisible ropes winding around them. No matter how they struggled, they could not leave the holy light, making them look like moths trapped in a lampshade.

The blood-red robe cascaded down Ye Hongyu's arm like a waterfall. She stepped towards the other shore of the lake serenely, unstoppable.

The Haotian Divine Light that radiated from her was like a large shroud. The black Taoist Swords moved with her as she continued forth on the lake.

This scene was strange and shocking.

Her naked soles stepped onto the lake bank, leaving a faint print on the cold pebbles.

The holy Haotian Divine Light slowly receded into Ye Hongyu's body.

The dozens of black Gloomy Taoist Swords flew away, as if excited that they had been freed.

Ye Hongyu casually lifted her right hand and held on to one of the Gloomy Taoist Swords.

The moment she held the Gloomy Taoist Sword, the black sword started smoking like it was on fire. The Taoist Sword slowly returned to a pure white.

The other Gloomy Taoist Swords successfully returned to the fallen knights. Many of them landed in the frigid lake waters, causing splashes and startling the fish.

Ye Hongyu had casually picked up the sword and also seemed to use it nonchalantly.

She thrust the sword toward the black peach blossom.

Because it was done casually, one could not guess where the sword style was headed to, so how could one avoid it?

Long Qing could not avoid this sword, which was an amalgamation of Ke Haoran's sword move and Liu Bai's sword style. He had never thought to avoid it, but welcomed it determinedly with a pale face.

The tip of the sword nicked an intact petal of the black peach blossom.

There was a soft pop.

The black peach blossom that had been crafted with pure Qi of Heaven and Earth started to tremble and tear.

There wasn't any hopelessness in Long Qing's eyes, and only determination and coldness. Next, the white and black of his eyes began to mix and turn into a faint grey. A powerful and greedy aura shot out from his black Taoist robe. The autumn lake descended into chaos.

Ye Hongyu frowned slightly as she looked at his strange eyes. Her expression was grave and filled with hatred before turning into contempt and ridicule.

She flicked her robes, and holy Divine Light coupled with the heavy stench of blood rushed towards the greedy swirling aura. Holiness and blood were two auras that could not be mixed. They shot out from Ye Hongyu's robes and changed into the pebbles that had been soaked in blood for millennia, in the Divine Hall's You Prison. These pebbles that smelled like blood protected the light of Haotian.

Pebbles like this could not be swallowed by any vortex.
