255 The Escape (1/2)
Cliff Region.
This region was beside the Victorious East Region. The terrain was undulating and resembled a desert.
Because of the harsh environmental conditions, the people here were slightly more uncivilised and brave. Therefore, a culture of 'swordsman' was born, which was a different culture from the Dragon and Tiger Ranks in the Victorious East Region.
At this point in time, in the desert, two swordsmen were fighting.
As they were swordsmen, they wore bamboo hats and wielded swords. Their swordsmanship was superb and every strike was a deadly one.
”Long Xuanfeng, give up the treasured sword and I'll let you survive!”
A swordsman clad in white robes looked fierce with a long scar on his face. He was being surrounded by 10 other swordsmen.
Hearing the calls for him the surrender, he smiled as something glittered by his waist.
”Clang clang!”
As the swords sliced against each other, there was a distinct sound. Under the moonlight, many swords were broken into half, revealing the swordsmen's shocked faces.
Within seconds, there was a slit on each and every one of their necks as blood spurted out.
Killing 12 people in a single stroke!
After executing the secret technique, Long Xuanfeng took in a deep breath and looked at his treasured sword with joy. ”Haha... with the help of Cold Moon, I can perfect the extreme sword technique and become the most powerful in Cliff Region!”
”Whoooo!”
As a strong wind blew across, there were two black dots on the horizon.
The black dots were extremely quick and slowly, they became the silhouettes of two people.
”Mmm? Who's seeking death?”
As he was lost in his thoughts, Long Xuanfeng looked in the direction of the two silhouettes.
”Get lost, and don't be in the way!”
There was an impatient voice as a humongous force was felt. Without control, Long Xuanfeng fell backwards and the Cold Moon slipped out of his hands.
”Ahh... My treasured sword!”
As he exclaimed, he crawled to where the sword was. However, as he saw the Cold Moon stuck into the ground, there were 5 holes on it, allowing him to see through it.
...
”Lin Qianye, you're really persistent!”
Such a small distraction was unable to pique Fang Yuan's interest. As he looked at Lin Qianye who was giving chase, there was a look of fear on his face.
Previously, he had used Ruan Ming's life to threaten Lin Qianye for while.
After 2 hours, Lin Qianye began to catch up to him again.
Fortunately for him, he had cultivated in both spiritual technique and martial arts. Although he could not match up against Lin Qianye, he could still defend himself. Along the way, he had tried escaping and fighting back, and they had now entered the Cliff Region.
By now, he had figured out how Lin Qianye could track him down.
”He should be tracking me down based on my spiritual aura... Is this his increased sensitivity since he is about to condense the Divine Body?”
He had tried to lose him multiple times but Lin Qianye had managed to catch up every single time. There was a menacing look in Fang Yuan's eyes.
In his actualised dream world, the Freezing Pearl had been fully absorbed and the Water Sword was halfway formed. There were also changes in his stats:
”Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 36
Spirit: 30
Magic: 33
Profession: Dream Soldier Master
Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (1st Tier), Wu Zong (3rd Meridian)
Technique: [Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique (Grade 4) (1%)], [Hundred Poison Golden Body (1st Refining)], [8 Gates Sword Array (2nd Sword) (30%)]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)]”
'I can try using the water-type sword essence now!'
Fang Yuan seemed determined.
”You have violated the rules of our sect. We will hunt you down no matter where you go! Do you think you can be smug just because you're a dream master? I have killed dream masters before!”
The cold voice of Lin Qian Ye was heard. To him, it was a surprise that this dream master had such a strong endurance.
The stronger his opponent was, the more determined he was to kill him!
This person had no backing and was not from the 5 powerful organisations. However, he was still strong and if left to survive, would bring them trouble in the future!
”Whoosh!”
As they continued the chase, son after, they could hear the sound of water gushing through a river. Just across a cliff, there was a huge river which was connected to the ocean.
”We're here!”
Fang Yuan approached the cliff and leapt forward.
”Don't think of running away! Thousand Leaves Palm!”
Behind, Lin Qianye gave chase as multiple shadows of his palms appeared and covered the sky.
As Fang Yuan struck his palm downwards, water splashed out from the river and rained down like raindrops. ”Watch out!”
As the water evaporated, a blue sword appeared and struck towards Lin Qianye.
”Eh?”
Lin Qianye had been fighting against the fire sword for quite a while. Now that the cold water-type sword appeared, there was a layer of frost on his hands and he panicked a little.
