C910 (1/2)

Near the dry well.

The sword fell to the ground, blood dripping from its mouth.

Ye Ling's thunderous attack caught him off guard and nearly took Ye Ling's life.

The sword dried up and got up, Ye Ling who was at the opposite side instantly flew over, his face turned cold and killing intent instantly surged out, if he did not have the ability just now, he would have already lost his sword and hand.

”Old thing!”

”Do you think you can do anything to me by using some underhanded methods?”

As Ye Ling approached the dried well, he smiled wantonly with an ice-cold expression. He squinted his eyes to look at the dried up sword in front of him, and the anger in his heart could not be quelled.

As he slowly stood up, a terrifying aura exploded forth from his body. A black light shot out from the dried up well behind him, emitting an aura of decay that caused people to feel terrified.

”Do you think you can pass just like that?”

”This old man has guarded this place for a million years and has never been trampled on by anyone.”

”Today, I will be injured by a brat like you. If I don't kill you, how will I be able to establish my footing in this Sword Dome Mountain?!”

The sword's withering expression was fierce, the Qi around his body was restless, the surrounding forest instantly withered, and all the life force was absorbed by the sword.

In the blink of an eye, the sword was back to its prime, and the energy within his body doubled.

The sword intent filled the skies, the dead trees formed a forest, the surrounding vines quickly grew, instantly covering the entire area like a cage, giving off a decaying and dry smell.

Nie Hun and Emperor Huang's expression were in disarray, they felt the Qi around them, they had truly underestimated Sword Withering, his power had turned the entire area into their own training hall.

”Is this your true strength?” Ye Ling frowned. He was surprised to see that the sword withering was not hidden, as the sword withering was not as simple as it looked.

”Humph!” ”Ignorant child!”

”Today, this place shall be your grave!”

The other side suddenly jumped up with a sneer on his face. His two hands danced in the air, and the sword Qi was like lightning in the sky.

Bang bang!

The space exploded as the sword qi was like a rain of stars, permeating everywhere.

Ye Ling's expression congealed, blood was flowing out of his body, the terrifying killing intent erupted, Ye Ling waved his arm, and struck out with his palm, covering the sky and the sun.

Bang!

The sword rain instantly exploded, transforming into a terrifying wave of air that accompanied Ye Ling's palm, and directly smashed towards Jian Ku.

”Ah... ”Pfft!” There was nowhere for him to run. He screamed as his body exploded with a loud bang, turning into a bloody mist that bloomed for a brief moment before disappearing.

The sword was dead, the vines around him directly shattered and self-destructed, turning into ashes and dissipating in the wind.

Following the disappearance of the Thorny Vine, the mountain road in front of them was unobstructed. A crisis was solved easily in front of Ye Ling, allowing him and the others to be in great danger.

”If this is only the second stage and it's already so terrifying, then wouldn't the third stage be even more formidable?”

Nie Hun did not dare to believe that a single withering sword could be this strong, and was naturally stronger than him by no means. As such, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel worried for Ye Ling.

Emperor Huang's expression was solemn, he looked at Ye Ling and did not say much. He knew that Ye Ling would not do something that he was not confident of, so he naturally trusted Ye Ling.

Qin Si's expression was strange. She did not show any signs of worry or fear. Instead, she looked at the dried up well before her and stepped forward.

”Whiz!”

Qin Sisi raised her hand and waved it, sending a beam of profound light into the well. A black light flashed from the inside, and a black pearl floated above the well.

The pearl was the size of an egg, and it contained a very strong aura of decay. It was the source of the power the sword had gained enlightenment from, and was incredibly precious.

Every dao corroborating expert will choose their own source energy to explore, cultivate, and control. Therefore, this type of energy is very valuable, it can help those who control the same kind of energy to increase their strength and increase their source energy.

”I'm afraid no one can absorb his source energy?”

Nie Hun looked at the Origin Energy Pearl in the well, he did not walk and frowned, and immediately shook his head and sighed, the Sword Qi was different from the others, ordinary people would not choose this death path.

Emperor Huang nodded his head as he agreed with everything Nie Hun had said. It was difficult to control the power of the withering sword, but it was also a type of natural power. The reason the power of the withering sword was so powerful was because it could control the essence of the withering sword.

”Since the two seniors are not interested in this pearl, then this junior shall take it for himself.”

Qin Si saw that Emperor Huang and Nie Hun did not have any interest in the Origin Pearl, but instead, made her extremely happy. Not long after she finished speaking to Emperor Huang and Nie Hun, she immediately took the Origin Pearl.

Ye Ling frowned. Qin Si decided to act good after picking up the cheap.

The Elemental Bead was still a rare thing in the world, but Qin Sisi didn't even ask him about it and just kept it.

retracted his gaze, looked around, then ignored Qin Si, and headed straight for the top of the mountain.

… ….

At the foot of the mountain.

After Feng Yu, Leng Wushuang, and the others had followed Ye Ling all the way here, they saw that Ye Ling and the others had actually gone to look for their master without leaving a trace.

”Damn it!”

”Your father has followed you for so long, but you actually lost him?”

Feng Yu was flustered and exasperated. He raised his hand to stroke the back of his head, looking all around in an attempt to find some clues. However, he couldn't find anything. There were only tall mountains and tall forests; there wasn't even a shadow to be seen.
