Chapter 205: Chapter 202: Crushing Defeat of the Sword Origin Sect

Screech!

The Qiyun Sect’s mountain-guarding spirit beast, the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon, let out a sharp cry and transformed into a dark light, swooping towards Elder Dai Hao of the Sword Origin Sect like lightning. Dai Hao had just battered the Royal Family Chariot Attendant until he staggered back, each step accompanied by spitting blood.

This was the last emergency measure by the Black Water Kingdom’s side.

"Hmph, whatever tricks you have up your sleeves, bring them all!"

With a cold snort, Dai Hao abandoned the pursuit of the Royal Family Chariot Attendant and engaged in a fierce battle with the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon.

A few dozen breaths later, Dai Hao struck the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon with his sword, sending it spiraling downwards towards the ground with its black feathers scattered in disarray.

Although Qiyun Sect’s Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon was an upper-grade Earth Level demon beast, it had been imprisoned by the Qiyun Sect for many years, serving merely as a means of transportation. Not only had it lost its natural instincts, but its combat abilities had also significantly declined.

It simply couldn’t compare with demon beasts like the Water and Fire Golden Ape, which fought its way through the wilds and was also of upper-grade Earth Level.

Falling in battle was quite normal!

"Hmph, Chariot Attendant Che, this time, let’s see who will come to save you,"

Elder Dai Hao of Sword Origin Sect lifted his sword and charged towards the Royal Family Chariot Attendant, who had barely caught his breath and now appeared utterly deflated.

"Lik Shi, we should take action. Che Worshipper can’t hold on anymore!"

"No, it’s fine!"

Just as the Demon Soul Blood Crystal on the War Soul Blood Flag had one layer left, suddenly the blood light surged, and a torrent of crimson flowed into Ye Zhen’s mind in an instant. Ye Zhen first froze, then let out a roar!

"Hmm?"

Everyone turned towards Ye Zhen in that instant, only to see him soar into the sky. The War Soul Blood Flag in his hand fluttered in the wind, returning to its original size.

A series of blood lights, each as thick as a thumb, suddenly shot out from the War Soul Blood Flag towards the Martial Artists of the Black Water Kingdom who were struggling against the Sword Origin Sect.

Swish swish swish!

The sounds of blood lights embedding were incessant!

Almost at the same time, a Green Jade Handprint flew from Elder Guo Qijing’s hands, colliding once again with the Four Symbols Dragon Spirit conjured by Master Yu Ruhai of Sword Origin Sect!

Boom!

The dragon-shaped energy made entirely of Sword Light instantly dissipated, and the now-crumbling Green Jade Handprint struck towards Master Yu Ruhai’s chest with immense force!

"Not good!"

Amidst his cry of alarm, Yu Ruhai desperately tried to block the blow, only to be sent flying by the incomplete Green Jade Handprint!

In a blink, Elder Guo Qijing spun around, lightly pressing with a single palm. A Green Jade Handprint emerged directly from the void, pressing down on Elder Dai Hao’s head!

Boom!

Caught off guard, Elder Dai Hao was slammed to the ground like a fly, causing the earth to shake. In the center of the impact, a massive handprint spanned a hundred meters across.

Despite the heavy blow, Dai Hao was fortunate to be alive.

Under the crushing might of the Vital Vein Forging Divine Ability, the Green Jade Handprint struck by Sect Leader Guo Qijing, Dai Hao was near death, unsteadily trying to stand within the enormous pit that the handprint had created.

"Gao Xinglie, Han Shi, Tong Wei, go and kill him!"

Ye Zhen’s chilling voice rang out as three streaks of blood light abruptly entered the bodies of Gao Xinglie and the others.

"Yes!"

"Alright!"

"Yes!"

The three answered in unison, their Swords and Fists striking down towards the severely injured Dai Hao on the ground.

Pitifully, Dai Hao, a great power of the Soul Sea Realm, was dissected by three men at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm after being heavily injured by the Green Jade Handprint of the Vein Forging Divine Ability.

Of course, with a forty percent enhancement from the War Soul Blood Flag, Gao Xinglie and the others already possessed combat power comparable to warriors in the first or second stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Elder Dai!"

In the sky, Sect Master Yu Ruhai of Sword Origin Sect roared with fury, "You three scoundrels, daring to kill an elder of my sect, you are doomed..."

"Hmph, Brother Yu, right now you should be pondering whether you can survive the journey back home," the voice of Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing interrupted.

Almost simultaneously, another scream resounded.

This scream came from Elder Lik Quan of Lishui Sect whose opponent’s right arm was incinerated with a punch, eliciting a cry of agony.

As the weakest among them, Lik Quan’s opponent was the first to be severely injured after gaining the forty percent enhancement from Ye Zhen’s War Soul Blood Flag.

"Hahaha, the War Soul Blood Flag is indeed powerful!"

Having gained the upper hand, Lik Quan burst into laughter.

Not just Lik Quan’s opponent, but the screams of the Sword Origin Sect elders rang out one after another.

"Sect Leader, they seem to have discovered the secret of the War Soul Blood Flag, and they possess a large number of Demon Soul Blood Crystals to enhance it. With the amplification of forty percent, we..."

Grand Elder Luv Ce of Sword Origin Sect spoke in a grave tone.

"Die!"

A furious shout erupted as Lik Quan, with his newfound strength, reduced his opponent to ashes with a single strike, the last cries of agony terrorizing the Sword Origin Sect warriors, turning their faces pale!

The complexion of the Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect turned deathly pale, and finally, a single word burst from his lips, "Retreat!"

"Thinking of running away? I haven’t even drawn blood with my sword yet!"

Liao Feibai’s angry shout filled the air as, bolstered by the War Soul Blood Flag, she unleashed a kilometer-long Profound Ice Sword Light that streaked towards Elder Yua Gaobo of Sword Origin Sect.

The very moment the Profound Ice Sword Light struck, the clouds in the sky laden with water froze into ice blocks due to Liao Feibai’s Profound Ice Sword Light.

Hiss!

Elder Yua Gaobo of Sword Origin Sect had actually been frozen into an ice statue and plummeted from the sky!

Boom!

In the midst of a roaring sound, the frozen ice statue of Elder Yua Gaobo shattered upon impact, not even a scream escaping him!

"Elder Yua!"

The Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect, Yu Ruhai, was so pained that the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"Hmph, thinking of leaving now? Too late!" Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing snorted coldly as a Green Jade Handprint once again thundered towards Yu Ruhai!

"Elders, I will hold off the enemy, retreat quickly!"

Defying belief, Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect actually ignored Guo Qijing’s Green Jade Handprint, flicking his wrist to send a small flag soaring up to meet the powerful attack.

Spurt, spurt, spurt!

The moment the small flag flew out, his life-bound essence blood sprayed towards the palm-sized flag like it was free.

Instantly, the flag blazed with sword light, sending out millions of beams of sword light in an instant. The moment they emerged, they formed a curtain of swords that swept downward, blocking all attacks instantly!

Whether it was Guo Qijing’s Green Jade Handprint, Liao Feibai’s sword light, or even the fire dragon that Chu Taiping unleashed from his sleeve, were all shredded by the curtain of swords, which barely even swayed.

In pursuit of the fleeing enemy, Elder Lik Quan of Lishui Sect unfortunately found himself directly beneath the light screen, his Protective Spirit Force tore apart like paper under the descending curtain of swords.

In a line between life and death, Lik Quan’s spiritual power exploded, retracting his figure by a hair’s breadth.

Crack!

Lik Quan’s shoulder was effortlessly sliced off by the curtain of swords like cutting tofu.

"Sword Origin Flag!"

"Everyone, back off, that’s the Sect Guardian Treasure Sword Origin Flag of Sword Origin Sect!"

Watching this curtain of swords, the martial artists of Black Water Kingdom all retreated behind Guo Qijing and Chu Taiping, the spiritual power around them surging as two increasingly terrifying presences suddenly rose.

In a flash, two auras comparable to that of the Sword Origin Flag emerged from Guo Qijing and Chu Taiping.

"Guo Qijing, I’ll remember this generous gift of yours today, and I shall return the favor someday!"

With a roar, Yu Ruhai’s life-bound essence blood sprayed toward the Sect Guardian Treasure Sword Origin Flag as if he was throwing his life away.

Whoosh!

As the sword light intensified, the Sword Origin Flag whisked away the eleven remaining elders of Sword Origin Sect in a flash.

As the sword light vanished, Ye Zhen’s heart gave a sudden lurch. Looking up in an instant, he saw a pair of cold, relentless eyes staring dead at him within the sword light, disappearing along with the Sword Origin Flag!

"What a pity, we only managed to slay five elders of Sword Origin Sect. Otherwise, this single battle would have been enough to destroy the foundation of Sword Origin Sect!" Master of Lishui Sect, Chu Taiping, said with some regret.

"Sword Origin Sect has a total of eighteen elders in the Soul Sea Realm, and today we’ve slain five of them. We’ve already dealt a severe blow to the vitality of Sword Origin Sect! Moreover, Yu Ruhai has activated the Sect Guardian Treasure Sword Origin Flag repeatedly today, his cultivation would be hard pressed not to fall!" Guo Qijing stated!

"That’s true, but it’s a pity that if Sword Origin Sect’s mountain-guarding formation weren’t so formidable, I would have liked to charge up their Mountain Gate!" Chu Taiping commented.

"We’ve won! We’ve won!"

"We’ve won, the War Soul Blood Flag is safe with us!"

In the lower skies, the Spirit Summoning Realm martial artists of Black Water Kingdom almost roared with excitement. Ye Zhen also relaxed, the War Soul Blood Flag instantly drawn into his embrace.

As he tucked away the flag, a wave of indescribable fatigue surged into his mind, Ye Zhen knew that he was severely drained of his Divine Soul Power.

Thanks to his Divine Soul Cultivation reaching the Capturing Realm, otherwise, he would not have been able to activate the War Soul Blood Flag continuously.

As the tension eased, the questions that had been held in people’s hearts burst forth towards Ye Zhen in a clamor.

"Senior Brother Ye, how did you get so many Demon Soul Blood Crystals?"

"Senior Brother Ye, did you slaughter an entire Demon Soul Legion?"

"Ye Zhen, how did you come to know the secrets of the War Soul Blood Flag?" even Lik Shi couldn’t help but gossip.

"There’s something urgent, we’ll talk once we’re back! Right now, it’s still extremely dangerous!" The voices of Guo Qijing and Chu Taiping simultaneously came from the air above.

After a quick grouping and treating the injuries of the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon, the group set off again.

This time on the return, disciples who participated in the Five Countries Conference received the highest standards of protection.

The two powerhouses of Black Water Kingdom, Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing and Master of Lishui Sect Chu Taiping, escorted them back to the nation, one in the lead and the other following behind.

On the way back, two more elders from Qiyun Sect and one from Lishui Sect arrived and joined the escort party.

These elders were not present initially to respond, having received the Sect Leader Token only to hurry over. If all three had arrived earlier, the situation just now wouldn’t have been so perilous.

However, it was normal for some of Sword Origin Sect’s eighteen elders to be outside or in seclusion, only fifteen had made it this time.

With such a luxurious escort, they encountered no further accidents on the journey.

However, their destination upon returning to the country was not their respective sects but the Royal City of Black Water Kingdom, Black Water King’s City!

"What do you think, will the Royal Court reward us for retaking the War Soul Blood Flag?" Once they were completely safe, Gao Xinglie, Tong Wei, Niu Qing, and the others excitedly speculated.

Even Third Prince Zhu Kun narrowed his eyes, seizing the War Soul Blood Flag was an unprecedented merit, and with this accomplishment, his position and prestige within the Royal Family would likely...

"If there’s to be a reward, it should go to Senior Brother Ye! He almost singlehandedly won the War Soul Blood Flag for us; we hardly exerted any effort!" Han Shi poured a bucket of cold water over everyone.

"Hehe, without everyone’s help, I couldn’t have done it alone!"

Ye Zhen casually responded and then closed his eyes. Besides the reward, he pondered another question—how to keep the War Soul Blood Flag safe? (To be continued.
