270 Imperial Sword (1/2)
As the bright moon shone, the river gushed downstream.
After the death of the old turtle, its essence was being absorbed by Fang Yuan and all that was left was a turtle shell and a faint glow around it.
”Do you mind?”
Fang Yuan casually glanced at Li Luan. ”Do you have the interest to join god dao? If that is so, by all means, take over him. After all, it wouldn't be hard to be appointed by the human dao...”
However, it all boiled down to her own luck if she could be given a title by the heavens as well.
”Talking about following god dao, you have already controlled Heizi River for three years. Why are there no improvements in your cultivation?”
Li Luan bit her lip and smiled. ”We have different goals so there's no meaning in this conversation!”
”That's true...”
Fang Yuan nodded his head but was secretly shocked.
He knew that if he were to benefit from Xu Ting by taking in his karma, he might get himself involved in the impending tribulation. This was why he chose to live in seclusion and only took control over the spiritual mountain range underwater.
Since Li Luan was clueless about the impending tribulation, her actions of trying to make use of Xu Ting to help the people Dao was only reasonable.
'There could be a possibility that this woman might be involved in the impending tribulation!'
Fang Yuan examined Li Luan.
Based on his definition of 'involved', he meant that she would be the epicentre of the tribulation.
After all, his actions were already affected by her...
”The moon...”
Li Luan looked up and commented softly.
At that moment, Fang Yuan's Yin Spirit became tensed up.
Under the moonlight, he could feel a sense of danger.
”Quickly retreat!”
Within seconds, he quickly arched his back and leapt into the river as quick as lightning.
Within seconds, he could see a shimmer in his eyes.
The silhouette of a sword landed under the moonlight.
This sword was glittering as though it was as bright as the moon. It struck down with a murderous vibe.
The sword hesitated for a moment as it detected Fang Yuan escaping the vicinity. In a split second, it decided to change its target and went for Li Luan instead.
”This is a flying sword technique! A flying sword controlled by someone!”
The flying sword became a streak of light as it struck down and suddenly, Fang Yuan recalled a sentence from a poem - 'As beautiful as the moon, the enchantress takes her leave!'
”If I don't help her, she'll be dead!”
His spiritual will shook as 3 ice pillars emerged from the ground, shielding her.
”Whoosh!”
The sword essence exploded, destroying the 3 pillars of ice and shattering it.
It was this extra split second which gave Li Luan the opportunity to use her lifeline.
”Thunder Pill, explode!!!”
A green streak of electricity ruptured and struck onto the sword essence.
”A thunder-type technique indeed!”
As the power of the thunder pill was revealed, Fang Yuan could feel his scales standing on its ends.
The God of Thunder was considered one of the strongest gods. Therefore, thunder-type techniques were one of the more powerful techniques.
Although this thunder was not a tribulation, the destruction that it had caused was only a little lesser than a natural tribulation!
”Clang!”
After a clang, the sword essence disintegrated, revealing an ancient-looking sword. It was three feet long and there was a string of cherries on the handle, drifting through the wind.
”Ah... thunder technique!”
A spiritual will emerged from the sword. Within seconds, the flying sword turned around and flew off quickly, shaking in the wind.
”Brother, are you alright?”
Fang Yuan slithered back ashore and checked on her.
”Thanks for your assistance! Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the chance to activate the thunder pill!”
Li Luan held her chest, worried.
She had the feeling of coming back from the dead!
If her Yin Spirit was killed, she would have ended up as a vegetable even though she still had her physical body.
”This person is powerful! He should be a warrior among the people!”
Fang Yuan glanced at Li Luan. ”Have you not realised anything after staying at the Xu Family? I'm surprised that you haven't been killed!”
Li Luan rolled her eyes. ”I was panicky throughout my stay in their mansion and have kept my demonic energy for the past three years. Do you think I'm like you? You don't even conceal yourself when walking out in the streets! It must be your actions and negligence which attracted this highly skilled warrior!”
Fang Yuan was taken aback.
His intention in killing the evil gods was to let Xu Ren submit an official appeal to the prefecture to get rid of the evil gods.
Although the officials could not absorb and harness spiritual energy around them, they could gather the fate energy of the people Dao which would be troublesome for Fang Yuan.
However, the officials from the prefecture could render the fate energy of the evil gods useless.
Never would he have thought that such an ordinary action taken by Xu Ren would attract so much attention.
”Forget it... I want to see who this powerful human is!”
Fang Yuan revealed a courageous look. ”I'm going to look for that human! Do you want to follow me?”
