Chapter 612: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Two Enchanting Soul

Entering the Bell Sound Dark Realm once more, Xu Yuan had a very clear purpose.

"If I, Xu Changtian, can’t cure that sword maniac Tang Ruofu, can’t I cure my wife who’s been poisoned with Charm Poison?"

Despite saying so,

Xu Yuan still harbored great doubts about Tang Ruofu’s previous abnormal actions.

He still hadn’t understood why the other had to get stabbed by him, only to then stab himself.

He certainly didn’t believe it was for the sake of so-called fairness.

When a person first starts out, their nature may indeed affect their choices, but Tang Ruofu had been galloping across the world for decades since he first emerged.

Over the span of decades,

except for those heavenly born strong men who could beat the era into submission, others either died with their convictions or had their sharp edges worn smooth and learned to compromise.

Tang Ruofu was clearly not the former.

So, what exactly was this guy plotting?

A mortal who had achieved Transcendence, and a maybe Semi-Saint strong one, facing off against two of us from the Primordial Realm, already had an infinitely great advantage, what exactly made Tang Ruofu choose to do this?

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan’s mind in an instant, and he decided in his heart to first follow the plan he had made.

Due to the "damage" overflow, in the combat between high-level cultivators, the outcome is not merely a matter of spellcraft techniques clashing, but more about probing and dismantling moves.

No matter what Tang Ruofu was plotting,

as long as his plan was accomplished first,

whatever Tang Ruofu was plotting would no longer matter!

Hum——

The instant he entered the Bell Sound Dark Realm, Xu Yuan immediately made use of the "Heavenly Eye Technique" bestowed upon him by Tianyan to clearly see the environment inside.

The two women had already started fighting.

And just as Xu Yuan had suspected,

the Bell Sound Dark Realm created by Xia Qing, besides sealing the cultivator’s four senses, had other lethal methods.

Slender and delicate fingers grazed the strings of the instrument, divine music began to play, and with every note that sounded, silent ripples stealthily swept across the silent space.

Ripples passed like blades sharp enough to cut hair, completely shredding everything around them.

And Xu Yuan couldn’t see these blades formed by the sound waves; even with the enhancement of the ’Heavenly Eye Technique,’ he still couldn’t see them.

All he could see were the withered branches of ghost trees that were chopped up as they passed.

Fortunately, just because Xu Yuan couldn’t see didn’t mean Tianyan couldn’t see.

Tianyan floated in mid-air, her expression serene, her body covered with a layer of faint golden light.

She moved about without being harmed in the slightest by Xia Qing’s terrifying tidal wave of sound-blade ripples.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan felt somewhat relieved.

Even when facing a terrifying enemy, having Tianyan as such a divine ally always provided a sense of security as if someone had his back.

Yantian Art seemed to have an absolute suppression over Xia Qing’s Bell Sound Dark Realm.

Not only was it immune to the Bell Sound Dark Realm’s sealing of hearing, sight, Origin Qi, and soul, but it could also see the traces of these invisible sound waves.

However, Tianyan didn’t directly expose the latter, instead she employed the most clumsy method to respond.

She dispersed vast amounts of Origin Qi around herself in a radius of several dozen yards, and whenever invisible sound wave ripples swept over, the dispersed Origin Qi allowed her to detect it.

She was misleading Xia Qing.

A desperate fight, it depends on who has more cards up their sleeve and whose killer move leaves the opponent unprepared.

The next instant,

Xu Yuan’s return was almost simultaneously detected by Qing as a Mortal Transcendence and Tianyan in the Primordial state.

Qing’s face slightly darkened, and with a stomp, she planned to retreat.

Just from a moment’s interaction, she had already sensed the difficulty of Tianyan, not to mention the additional presence of Jing He, who could fight Tang Ruofu for several breaths without defeat even with his Primordial state.

With her cultivation, she was indeed capable of facing the two, but Qing had no intention of taking the risk alone.

Although she didn’t know what was happening outside, the fact that this junior had gone to great lengths to shake off Tang Ruofu and return meant it was likely related to the card she suspected earlier.

The aura around Jing He had already begun to disorder, and all she had to do was wait for Tang Ruofu’s return, and then everything would settle down.

In the blink of an eye,

Qing’s fingers fiercely strummed the strings nestled in her arms,

and the resonating harmony transformed into a tremendous pressure enveloping Xu Yuan and Tianyan.

The entire realm of darkness began to tremble, the gravity so immense that it distorted the air; Qing’s manipulation of the Dao Domain directly formed a gravitational chasm between her and both Xu Yuan and Tianyan!

Step Void Slash.

The spellcraft patterns overlapped within the meridians were reactivated, and Xu Yuan’s figure suddenly crossed that instantaneously-formed gravitational chasm to appear beside Qing.

Qing naturally knew from the battle that the chasm she created could not stop Jing He’s instantaneous sword move.

In the moment Xu Yuan’s figure emerged, the ripples of sound waves around Qing had already taken shape.

Feeling the looming threat around him, Xu Yuan still had a layer of ’Step Void Slash’ spellcraft patterns within him, but this time he chose not to dodge.

In the instant that the killing intent approached, the three-foot trunk in Xu Yuan’s hand, glowing with faint cherry-pink fluorescence, swung down without any hesitation toward the seductively curvaceous lady in front of him.

Seeing Xu Yuan not retreating, Qing’s beautiful eyes instantly narrowed, her sumptuously gorgeous face betraying no panic.

If he would not withdraw, then she would sever the whelp’s arm holding the branch as well...

The gap between Mortal Transcendence and Primordial was highlighted at this moment.

Although not as terrifyingly fast as Tang Ruofu who moves later to strike first, Qing, as a Mortal Transcendence, had a reaction speed at least an order of magnitude faster than that of the Primordial Realm.

And these differences were enough for her to deal with Jing He’s life-risking strike.

And at that moment,

a soul-piercing voice of a young girl suddenly echoed in the empty dark realm.

"Seal!"

The unemotional Heavenly Word Mantra seemed to transcend time and space, acting directly within Qing.

Feeling the killing intent around him dissipate, Xu Yuan’s lips curled into a grim smile.

Righteous two against one.

"....."

Feeling a sudden sluggishness within as Origin Qi faltered, Qing’s pupils shrank sharply.

She frantically operated her Cultivation Technique to break the internal obstruction in an instant, but when she tried to reactivate her Cultivation Technique to defend against Xu Yuan’s stick, it was already too late.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment,

Qing staggered backwards, eyes wide open, with nothing but the expanding pink stick in her dark pupils.

Bang!

A crisp sound,

This time, there were no sudden changes, as Xu Yuan’s hand holding the dry branch of the Enchantress tapped straight onto Xia Qing’s forehead.

Once touched by an external force, the Enchantress branch, which had already reached its critical point, instantly transformed into numerous pink luminescent petals that enveloped Xia Qing’s voluptuous figure....

But the next moment.

A whirlwind erupted from within the chaos of flowers, and the phosphorescent cherry blossoms that had wrapped around Xia Qing’s graceful figure were crushed into specks of starlight by a powerful Origin Qi.

The strength of the wind was so great that Xu Yuan, standing beside Xia Qing, subconsciously took half a step back.

But it was only half a step, for he had seen the expression on the face of the woman undergoing Mortal Transcendence.

Xia Qing’s eyes flickered with cherry-pink luminescence, as her jade hands clenched the fabric at her chest. Her breath became more rapid, the bountiful curves of her body undulating like waves, and her pale, delicate cheeks were now overtaken by an unhealthy flush.

But in just a moment,

Xia Qing, wearing a golden crown and clad in red, knelt on the ground. She bit her plump red lips tightly, her legs squeezed together, her slender fingers digging into the brown soil, as if desperately suppressing some desire.

Watching the woman’s enticing posture that seemed almost dripping with seduction, Xu Yuan couldn’t help but let a smile emerge on his lips.

Success.

For a while, there was no sound within the empty Dao Domain.

Xu Yuan looked with interest at the woman kneeling before him, while Tianyan watched from a distance with an indifferent expression.

Although the battle had ended, she dared not approach the area near the grounded Xu Yuan.

Now that woman was like a source of charming souls, her body already filled with Charm Poison. If she were to come closer, she might very well have been compromised there.

And soon,

Xu Yuan also withdrew his gaze from the kneeling woman and turned to look toward the void outside the dark realm.

There,

Xia Qing’s Dao Domain was starting to crumble like popped bubbles.

There,

stood a middle-aged man with a sword.

With a casual gesture, Xu Yuan grabbed the hair of the woman kneeling beside him, lifting her head to shield the front of his body, revealing half of his face as he stared at Tang Ruofu in mid-air, baring his teeth in a smile,

"You’ve lost.

"Now,

"I can use this ’aunt’ to threaten you, huh."

"....."

Tang Ruofu’s entire demeanor had lost its previous leisurely laziness, replaced by a serious and chilling solemnity.

Seeing the other party silent, Xu Yuan teased with a smiling squint, "Uncle, your look is really scary. If you keep staring at me like that, I can’t guarantee this ’aunt’s’ safety, you know."

Meanwhile,

Xu Yuan’s finger ignited a small ball of blood-colored flame, pressing it towards the mid-spine acupoint on the woman in front of him.

Where the blood flame passed, Xia Qing’s red garment was scorched through, leaving a small hole.

Xu Yuan then directly infused the Origin Qi containing the Enchantress Divine Taoist Charm into the woman’s meridian.

The situation of Xia Qing was different from that of Tianyan.

Tianyan had been poisoned with the Enchantress Cherry Poison outside the Illusionary Realm, which was why it couldn’t be completely cured.

However, the Enchantress Cherry Poison that Xia Qing had been afflicted with was within the Illusionary Realm. Given her cultivation, if left unattended, she might soon regain some mental clarity.

He had to continue administering the poison to her.

Watching the scene below, Tang Ruofu’s expression seemed dark enough to drip water,

"Do you think you’ve won already?"

Xu Yuan heard this and tilted his head, half his face revealing a grin, "If uncle is concerned about this ’aunt’s’ life, then I should think I’ve already won."

"Hehe....."

After a low chuckle, Tang Ruofu’s gaze turned ice-cold, "Kid, I admit you’ve got some tricks, but do you think I don’t have any?"

Xu Yuan once again retreated behind Xia Qing, tightening his grip on her hair.

"Umm..."

Xia Qing arched her back in pain.

Listening to her seductive whimper, Xu Yuan licked the corner of his lip, his laughter carrying through,

"You mean the sword I used to stab you, and the one you used on yourself?"

"Perhaps," Tang Ruofu was noncommittal.

"So heartless... Where did your former carefreeness go, Tang Ruofu? And to think you are the Sword Madman, tsk tsk....."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan gently exhaled a hot breath by Xia Qing’s ear, pinching her flushed cheek, and then slowly moved his broad palm down her chin, whispering softly,

"Ah... I remember Inviting Moon Sect’s musical cultivation technique includes one called the Nine Sounds Profound Lady Technique. Sister, are you practicing it?"

"....."

All cherry-pink luminescence had taken over Xia Qing’s eyes at this moment. After a short silence, her voice, carrying a soft and charming sweetness,

"Yes..."

"Pfft..."

Upon this response, Xu Yuan laughed out loud, raising his eyes to Tang Ruofu,

"Uncle, you’ve been acquainted with this ’sister’ for decades, surely you haven’t remained chaste all this time? Tsk tsk..."

Meanwhile, Xu Yuan tried to detect a sliver of anger in the other’s eyes.

Anger is a stimulant for mortals, but for cultivators, it is a toxic poison.

If Tang Ruofu approached in rage, his fate would be sealed.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan’s hopes were dashed.

After a brief exchange of glances,

Xu Yuan shook his head disinterestedly and withdrew his hand, calling out loudly,

"It seems, uncle, that you need more time to prepare your moves. Since you previously agreed to wait for me to make a wager, how about we make another bet now?"

Tang Ruofu took a deep breath and asked,

"What do you want to bet on?"

"Tsk... what else do you think we can bet on right now?"

Xu Yuan scoffed, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed to slits, and his tone softened as he asked,

"Tang Ruofu, besides our lives, is there anything else here worth betting on?"
