Chapter 611: Sword Fiend Thunder Sound

Pure Nine-Lotus Treasure Lantern:

Above Fengyu Dock, Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang flew in mid-air. Two sword lights of different colors crisscrossed under the control of their sword fingers.

The golden sword light was like a burning flame. As it flickered, the scorching heat caused a wisp of mist to rise from the water's surface. Under the refraction of light, it was as dazzling as a rainbow.

As Chen Mobai's thoughts stirred, he had already unleashed the full power of an "Inferno Sun Slash." In an instant, it landed before Mo Douguang.

However, a sharp glint flashed in Mo Douguang's calm eyes. Then, he gently waved his right index finger towards Chen Mobai.

A cyan-white sword light, arriving later, had already grazed Chen Mobai's cheek before the Inferno Sun Slash could reach Mo Douguang, cutting off a strand of hair.

At this moment, colorful clouds appeared on Chen Mobai's face. This was the automatic protection function of the "Crimson Cloud Smoke Net." However, Mo Douguang's sword light had already struck.

A moment later, Chen Mobai's ears registered a thunderclap from the void.

"Is this the Sword Fiend Thunder Sound?"

"It truly is too fast to react to!"

However, Chen Mobai mainly wanted to personally experience this realm. Otherwise, with his Void-Piercing Spiritual Eye fully concentrated, he could still use the "Flame Light Evasion" technique to escape. It was just a pity that after Ji Guanhai's passing, Deng Jianrong left the minor sect in the Eastern Lands and returned to Dongwu to inherit his family.

However, according to Xiaonanshan's speculation, Deng Jianrong likely had resources left to form a Nascent Soul, which is why he returned from the Eastern Lands. Although the major sects in the Eastern Lands sounded prestigious, in reality, due to having many more disciples, the competition for resources and cultivation methods within them was extremely fierce.

"Junior Brother Chen, you've worked hard this past year."

With a bang, the monster's attack was repelled by the formation.

Lei Yin's spiritual sense probed into her storage bag, wanting to see if she had any talismans or pills left. Her strong will to survive, despite being at only ten percent of her Tier 2 power and with her flying sword cracked, still compelled her to stubbornly fight two Tier 7 monsters.

"Senior Uncle Chen, please select the destination for teleportation!"

Yun Mengze, laughing heartily with Nujiang, Sect Master Chen, and Sun Huangwu, led Zhuo Ming and Jiang Zongheng into the central grand hall of Fengyu Dock.

Deng Jianrong said something with an impassive expression.

Nujiang looked at Sect Master Chen, filled with emotion. Among the disciples of the Primordial Ancestor, he and Sheng Zhaoxi were stuck in the mid-stage of Core Formation, Deng Jianrong and Zhou Ye were early Core Formation, and now there was another Deng Jianrong.

"My name is Gu Yan. In terms of Foundation Establishment time, you can just call me Junior Sister."

"I also served by Yun Mengze's side for a while. I happened to recognize the Purple Fire Sword Talisman."

"To think, Junior Brother, you have also surpassed us." Eighty years ago, Deng Jianrong had already reached the perfected Core Formation stage and was known as the number one expert in Dongwu, the next Ji Guanhai.

When he was young, he had even traveled to the Eastern Lands. Due to his outstanding talent, he was even favored by a reclusive elder of a major sect and accepted as a disciple.

Very quickly, a silver light began to shine. It enveloped Yun Mengze and his two disciples, transporting them towards Nanxi Market.

Subsequently, as the White Plague Bird reluctantly lingered above Qingguang Island, a clear, brilliant Divine Wood Light shot into the sky. It accurately calculated the bird's flight path, directly evaporating the Tier 7 monster into a bloody mist.

Clang!

Deng Jianrong returned to Dongwu. Inheriting the Dongwu territory established by Ji Guanhai, he could gather more resources to help form a Nascent Soul.

So he had been held up there all this time. If Zhuo Ming hadn't gone out daily to hunt for various delicious ingredients for him to taste, he would have long since been unable to stay.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Mo." A red string was tied to a talisman.

Yun Mengze said with a smile. In fact, after he had killed two Tier 8 monsters, the situation in the Eastern Barrens' Sun Huangji had already stabilized. At least at Fengyu Dock, there hadn't been any large-scale monster sieges for a long time.

"When I left, Senior Sister Zhuo had just dug down to the eighth underground layer. When Chen Mobai had his grand Core Formation ceremony, I came to your esteemed sect to present a gift and spoke with Senior Sister Zhuo. She said she had already dug down to the eighth underground layer, but I'm not entirely clear how many layers there are now."

After Sword Fiend spiritual power comes the condensation of sword qi into threads, and a single sword strike breaking all techniques. This is the pinnacle of swordsmanship that even Nascent Soul cultivators might not necessarily achieve.

Splish-splash!

If they encountered the power of Tier 7, sword cultivators with high attack and low defense would mostly only suffer defeat.

Under such circumstances, Lei Yin naturally clutched at the last straw. Seeing that the delicate young woman with clear, sparkling eyes remained silent, she immediately began to talk about her experience learning to cultivate Fire Spirit Rice in Xiaonanshan before she established her Foundation.

Above Qingguang Island!

"Then you should know how many layers Senior Sister Zhuo's wine cellar has, right?"

Moreover, Deng Jianrong had also mastered Sword Fiend spiritual power.

Just then, the sound of water condensing echoed in her ears. Subsequently, accompanied by the fierce collision of two forces, a powerful airflow pushed her away.

Finally, the delicate young woman asked a question. Lei Yin nodded, indicating that when she was studying in Xiaonanshan, Yun Mengze was busy with secluded cultivation, and Zhuo Ming largely taught on his behalf, making the two close friends.

It was precisely because of this that Yun Mengze, whose Pure Yang Scroll was about to break through, felt it was a bit of a waste of time to stay there.

But even the talisman he refined when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage could still instantly kill a Tier 7 monster. This showed that his reputation as a peerless sword Dao genius was well-deserved!

At that moment, Nujiang suddenly asked a question. When it was time to leave, Nujiang came to see them off, expressed solemn gratitude, and even specially prepared a "dou" (a measure) of pearls as a thank-you gift.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators he brought, such as Ding Ying, were all left in Sun Huangji. They would return after this wave of monsters completely subsided.

Although Lei Yin was weak all over, she still upheld etiquette and bowed to the delicate young woman with sparkling eyes.

Zhou Shengqing nodded immediately upon hearing this, and placed a Void Stone into a certain slot.

"Although Sword Fiend spiritual power is strong, against a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is still powerless to retaliate."

However, if he were not here to oversee things, should Tier 8 monsters besiege them again, Nujiang and Sun Huangwu alone might not be able to defend against them.

The flesh and blood burned with purple flames. In an instant, there was a smell of grilled fish, but immediately it turned charred white, and when it finally fell onto the water, it was nothing but heaps of ashes.

But at this point, she had truly reached the end of her rope.

However, she was still going to die!

Nujiang's "dou" of pearls were naturally the finest of the fine, each equivalent to a high-grade spirit stone.

"I hope in my next life, I can become a disciple of Chen Mobai!"

Zhou Shengqing's words slightly surprised Yun Mengze. Did this not mean that through the teleportation array at Fengyu Dock, the Five Elements Sect could directly enter the territory of the Divine Wood Sect?

This was one of only two medium-sized teleportation arrays in the Eastern Barrens.

"With Junior Brother Mo now in the early stage of Core Formation, and having attained the Sword Fiend realm, how much chance do you think he has against Fu Zongjue?"

A wisp of purple fire lit up in Lei Yin's palm. Then, in an instant, it erupted into a dazzling purple flame light, like a pillar of purple fire connecting heaven and earth, slashing into the open mouth of the Tier 7 monstrous fish.

"Do you know Senior Sister Zhuo?"

Amidst the roaring waves, the Tier 7 monster in the water had already opened its gaping maw and leaped high, about to swallow the delicate, helpless young woman whole.

Below, Sun Huangwu and others, who had witnessed the full sword cultivation demonstration of the two great sword cultivators of the Eastern Barrens, also showed joy. With a powerful reinforcement like Deng Jianrong stationed there, as long as the Venomous Dragon did not personally appear, Fengyu Dock would be as stable as a mountain.

After silently reciting in her heart, Lei Yin, following the method taught by Deng Jianrong and firmly remembered in her heart, converted her Tier 2 power and activated the Purple Fire Sword Talisman.

But it was also afraid that she still had another such powerful talisman, so it did not approach rashly, but instead once again used its innate divine ability, condensing wind and thunder into cyan blades.

At that moment, the Tier 7 White Plague Bird once again unleashed its Wind Thunder Cyan Blades, but Lei Yin's body had already been taken by the young woman, passing through Qingguang Island's protective barrier and entering the protective range of the grand formation.

"Where did you get that sword talisman?"

One must know that even the Primordial Ancestor, renowned as a polymath during his lifetime, was only at this level in terms of swordsmanship.

After a round of sword practice, Yun Mengze laughed heartily as he retracted his Inferno Sun Slash, then descended towards Fengyu Dock with Deng Jianrong.

Only the surrounding island markets were being attacked by scattered monsters.

"Senior Brother Mo's swordsmanship has reached mastery; he can be said to be invincible in the Eastern Barrens."

A look of despair appeared on her snow-white face. After consuming the last pill that restored her strength, she carefully took out a red string hanging around her neck.

If she hadn't taken a pill earlier, and was slowly recovering, she probably wouldn't even be able to fly now and would have fallen into the water.

After hearing Deng Jianrong's words, Yun Mengze couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

"Then Nanxi Market it is!"

With her left hand, she cast a Water Control spell, protecting Lei Yin within a water barrier.

A single talisman had killed a Tier 7 monster!

And now that Sect Master Chen was here, Yun Mengze could finally return to secluded cultivation without worry.

After Yun Mengze declined twice, he naturally accepted it.

Before dying, that wish appeared in Lei Yin's mind.

A mid-grade Tier 7 Purple Fire Sword Talisman.

A fierce cry rang out. She looked up and saw the Tier 7 White Plague Bird. It seemed to be furious over the death of its companion.

After the introduction, Zhou Shengqing pointed to a large map hanging on the wall. It depicted the entire Eastern Barrens, with three red dots within the borders of Yun Country and Yu Country, which were the market cities that could be directly teleported to.

Knowing his character, everyone smiled slightly at this. Gu Yan gently bowed in return.

It was a gift Deng Jianrong gave Lei Yin when she finished her studies at Xiaonanshan and left.

Amidst the sharp whistling sound, the cyan blades slashed out by the White Plague Bird's wings were already crisscrossing and falling towards Lei Yin.

And now that he had mastered Sword Fiend spiritual power, and was at the late stage of Core Formation, he could basically be considered in the first tier below Nascent Soul cultivators.

After hearing Lei Yin's reply, the delicate young woman finally nodded.

However, afterwards Xiaonanshan admitted that it was because the two had not used secret techniques or magical artifacts in their sparring match. If Deng Jianrong had truly unleashed his full power, relying on his bloodline to control the Tier 7 magical artifact left by him, Xiaonanshan would have been utterly defeated.

"With Senior Brother Mo overseeing things here, I can return without worry."

After Lei Yin used that sword talisman she had cherished for over seventy years, the last bit of Tier 2 power in her Dantian and Qi Sea was exhausted.

Sword cultivators become stronger the later their stage. Even before reaching his current cultivation and sword Dao realm, Sect Master Chen had already slain Ji Zhenshe and Nan Shidao, truly deserving the title of the Eastern Barrens' foremost sword cultivator.

Fu Zongjue was known as "Huangwu Reincarnated," a name so great that it was renowned even in the Eastern Yi regions.

However, this was only within the Core Formation realm.

Xiaonanshan once exchanged blows with Fu Zongjue. He merely relied on the "Everlasting Life Scripture's" defense to hold his ground without defeat.

Her flying sword once again bore the impact of wind blades and cyan lightning.

After the bombardment, it finally broke completely.

A faint smile appeared on her lips. She closed her eyes, ready to face her death.
