Chapter 291: Chapter 166: Encounter

Heaven and Earth were vast and boundless.

"We can definitely find it!" a Feathered Wings Cultivator said resolutely.

As he spoke, he suddenly leapt onto a dark withered tree.

The withered tree was covered in snow, and the snow was crystallized with blood flowers. On the snowy branches, a person hung.

A woman, dead yet naked.

Her body had frozen stiff, her eyes bulging out half an inch, their whiteness resembling that of a ghost’s ghastly stare, intensifying the chill in one’s heart.

Her figure was extremely beautiful and moving.

Apart from her waterfall-like black hair, her body was flawless and smooth as jade, perfection incarnate.

This figure and proportion had reached an extreme.

She was a genius female cultivator, akin to a fairy, yet died here.

Her snow-white neck was pierced by a tree branch, the vivid blood flowers turned into ice due to the cold, looking like a bright and eye-catching ice sculpture.

"Another one dead, and one of the geniuses, a protector from the Holy Land of the Cold Ice Palace."

Jia Yongheng sighed.

He had followed the trail here, with the heavy gravity making deep pits under his feet, but upon arrival, the woman with the aura of the Mingxin Mirror had also died.

She died a grievous and utterly desolate death.

"Oh Zhou Qian, Zhou Qian, I hope you don’t fail me."

Seeing a faintly familiar aura emanating ahead, Jia Yongheng didn’t continue the pursuit but abruptly turned around and left the place.

He didn’t even give another glance at the fairy’s corpse.

After Jia Yongheng left, the frozen corpse suddenly cracked open, her arms suddenly broke, and the eyeballs in her eyes finally bulged out like two crystal beads, rolling on the dark ground a few times before turning into dust and disappearing.

The woman’s body gradually solidified, and in a moment, it turned into a statue-like figure.

The snow on her body, like a snow-white gauze skirt, enveloped her body, and finally, she transformed into a statue, emitted a broken Sword Intent, and flew away, disappearing without a trace.

Here, peace was restored.

No one knew what had happened here, or what had transpired.

...

"Your bodies carry the aura of the Mingxin Mirror, hand it over, and I can leave you intact corpses!"

A voluptuous woman in revealing fiery Red Battle Armor, wearing long golden hair, looked down disdainfully at a man and three women not far in front of her.

"Yunjin, should you make a move, or should I?" the man asked gently, slightly frowning as he spoke to the woman beside him.

"I’m a bit tired, I won’t make a move, and even if I did, killing her would take some time. Wuhen Spirit, you make a move."

The woman named ’Yunjin’ had a tired look in her autumn-like beautiful eyes, her voice soft yet carrying a sense of resignation.

"Alright, I’ll make the move then. You rest more on this journey, and after we meet Zhou Wangchen, you all can have a good reunion," Li Wuxian spoke softly.

"What arrogant natives, who haven’t broken the seal, don’t understand the power of the Sovereign Heavenly Dao, yet still dare to speak so boldly!"

The Red Battle Armor woman sneered, her eyes full of contempt.

Behind her, a man and a woman both stood with their arms crossed, watching the scene as if watching a drama.

Their attire was also bizarre, their hair curled like waves, the man’s hair very short, while the green-clothed woman’s hair styled like a peacock’s tail, quite exaggerated.

This was a typical style from beyond their domain.

Those from beyond their domain looking down on the native powerhouses of Sword Burial Ancestor Star was an undeniable fact. Encountering them now, there surely wouldn’t be a good outcome.

Li Wuxian had long known about this, but due to time constraints, he needed to be quick, so he simply showed a powerful aura but didn’t make a move, hoping to avoid conflict. However, unexpectedly, the other party still came looking for trouble.

"I really didn’t want to kill you all, but since it’s come to this..."

Li Wuxian didn’t say much, but suddenly slapped his chest, sending three Ancient Fierce Beast-like Sword Spirits flying out from within him, their speed like a bolt of lightning, incredibly fast!

With Li Wuxian’s strength and speed, as he suddenly made his move, the Red Battle Armor woman couldn’t react in time and was directly hit by one of the Sword Spirits.

"Spurt—"

Her Spirit Armor erupted in a blinding display of Blood Light that managed to block the blow, but the woman still shook tremendously under the impact, then like a shooting star, was fiercely knocked back.

Her body showed terrifying cracks, from which blood oozed out.

During this process, another man beside the Red-clothed woman also screamed in agony, as another of the Sword Spirits released by Li Wuxian struck his neck.

His head, like a ball, was violently knocked away, with blood forming a column in the sky.

Blood spurted wildly, and the man’s corpse convulsed as it fell to the ground.

Elsewhere, the last Sword Spirit had directly struck the head of the last woman, but she reacted with extreme calm, suddenly blocking the Sword Spirit with both hands. However, her delicate hands that resembled spring onions were instantly shredded by the Sword Spirit—both palms turned directly into nothingness.

Blood and white bone from her arms were directly exposed, strikingly garish to the eye.

It all happened in a mere instant. Li Wuxian had directly killed one, and severely wounded two True Spirit Level geniuses at Great Perfection of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Realm. Such power was terrifying to the extreme.

Both the Red Battle Armor Woman and another woman with Phoenix-tail hair in green clothes had chilling expressions, with coldness spreading over their bodies. They had never imagined that the seemingly ordinary young cultivator in front of them would be so terrifying!

With just a raise of his hand, he had nearly killed all three of them in one stroke!

They immediately gathered together, unleashing their bloodline weapons to form a barrier in front of them, to defend against another possible attack from Li Wuxian.

"Are you ready?"

Li Wuxian looked at the two women, whose appearances were wary. His eyes were cold, yet he asked very calmly.

The faces of the two women changed color, and they did not dare to respond, but became even more vigilant.

"In your next life, don’t be so reckless, otherwise you’ll end up dying without knowing how, just like today!"

Li Wuxian chuckled, and then, he struck again.

At that moment, the two female cultivators, though appearing vigilant, suddenly flew away at high speed, knowing that they should not stay here any longer, thus fleeing had already crossed their minds.

But even the speed they considered astoundingly fast proved ineffective now.

"Think you can escape?!"

Li Wuxian shouted coldly, as two Sword Spirits like streaks of golden light shot forth.

"Clang clang—"

Sounds akin to the tremor of metal burst forth, the trailing woman in green clothes with the Phoenix-tail suffered as her strong Spirit Armor was directly shattered. The golden Sword Spirit’s light was brilliant and unstoppable, smashing the defense energy of her Spirit Armor into pieces, then burst forth, penetrating her skull.

Her body still moved forward out of inertia, but her head had already exploded, along with the soul deep within her brain, destroyed and shattered.

In just a moment, the headless body of this female cultivator fell from the sky, with blood raining across the entire sky.

Another streak of golden light, in a flash, simultaneously struck towards the Guardian Spirit Armor of the Red Battle Armor Woman.

"No!"

The Red Battle Armor Woman screamed in terror, unleashing energy akin to bloodline power, as her Blood Qi surged skywards, displaying powerful Divine Skills.

Her armor’s defense became even stronger, with tendrils of lightning-like flames spurting out of the armor, aiming towards the dagger-like golden Sword Spirit.

At the same time, she maneuvered unknown runes in the air, coordinating with her Qi and Blood, further expanding her strength.

At that moment, the faint power of thunder and lightning manifested in the void, mingling suddenly with the flames, assaulting the golden Sword Spirit together, carrying a Sovereign Power, energy equivalent to the Heavenly Dao Grade.

The sky was ablaze with colors, a splendid sight. Yet, none of these could pause the effect of the golden Sword Spirit. It was as if it wasn’t from the same space, the golden Sword Spirit, bearing an unstoppable momentum, directly crossed through these obstacles as though they were non-existent.

"Pfft—"

Blood, like vibrant fireworks, suddenly burst forth, raining down like rain.

The golden Sword Spirit instantly pierced through the body of the Red Battle Armor Woman, directly reducing her to dust.

This method, fierce and ruthless, violently devastating without a shred of mercy.

Li Wuxian, with Li Yunjin beside him, both felt somewhat jittery, while Li Qimeng and Feng Ling Bamboo next to them turned deathly pale.

"Lost two Sword Souls, yet accumulated Sword Dao, nothing begets without destruction, the Path of Incompletion, truly terrifying indeed."

Li Wuxian murmured softly to himself, speaking only to himself.

He felt no particular emotion about this battle, as if he had merely killed a few ants, without even using his true strength.

Not far away, there were fluctuations in the void, perhaps due to the energy attracted, more unidentified cultivators were drawn over.

Yet these cultivators did not show up.

"Since you’ve already come, there’s no need to hide, come out!"

Li Wuxian spoke, not wanting to waste any more time, and directly made a move towards that location.

"Wait—"

Suddenly, Li Yunjin urgently intervened to stop Li Wuxian’s killing move, approaching with a complex look in her eyes.

But, her voice was ultimately a step too late, as Li Wuxian’s hand had already struck, and a terrifying Sword Intent directly hit the hidden cultivators.

"Pfft—", a spurt of blood emerged in the void, a middle-aged cultivator nearly lost his life on the spot, heavily falling to the ground.

Then, another middle-aged cultivator cried out, swiftly helping the middle-aged man up, asking with utmost concern, "Xiao Zhan, what’s wrong?"

"Cough cough... I’m fine, just nearly got instantly killed..."

The nearly fatally wounded middle-aged cultivator coughed, then forcefully stabilized his body, casting a wary glance towards the distance.

At that moment, Xiao Zhan, Zhou Wangchen, Li Yunjin, Li Wuxian, Li Qimeng, and Feng Ling Bamboo, a group of six, all stood stunned.

...
