Chapter 293 Sword Cuts Through True Blood
Seeing the flying shuttle that appeared out of nowhere in the courtyard, Zhong Wei suddenly felt that he had wasted the past ten years or so.
Given his status, there shouldn't be anything in the Seven Kingdoms that he hasn't seen or heard of. But what he sees before him is completely beyond his comprehension.
"Shen Xu, tell me who you really are?" Zhong Wei asked, his face full of shock.
"You're asking a lot of questions. Does anyone know which direction Cangtianyuan is in?"
Zhong Wei shook his head. "I've never been to Cangtianyuan either. I've only heard that Cangli Kingdom has an entrance to it, and caravans pass through there every year. Although it may be dangerous, it can save a lot of time."
Seeing the silent Li Xiaoyi and He Yu, Shen Xu said, "Let's choose any direction and leave the capital first, otherwise things might get complicated."
"It's probably too late," Li Xiaoyi said, looking in a direction on the horizon.
"True Blood Realm?"
Li Xiaoyi nodded slightly. In a short time, the shuttle could not accelerate to a very fast speed, and there was a risk that it would be shot down by the enemy from the sky.
Shen Xu frowned, his expression becoming serious. It seemed that Cangli King had discovered Li Xiaoyi's problem ahead of time.
"Zhong Wei, take He Yu and stay away. Don't come near here for a while, and don't ask why," Shen Xu ordered in a deep voice.
"Xiao Yi, make your move." Shen Xu's gaze also turned to the sky, and the whistling sound of air being torn apart reached his ears.
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Zhong Wei immediately understood the gravity of the situation, so he quickly grabbed He Yu and ran out of the garden.
Just as Zhong Wei was carrying He Yu and had not yet completely left, a black shadow streaked across the sky like lightning, accompanied by a series of frantic howling winds, and swooped down into the garden at an astonishing speed.
Like a falling meteor, it carried endless pressure.
Just as the shadowy figure was about to crash heavily to the ground, suddenly, a pair of enormous and mysterious black wings unfurled, like wings of night stretching across the sky. The air currents generated by the flapping of the black wings seemed capable of stirring up a storm.
But the moment the man in black spread his black wings, all the wind vanished instantly, leaving almost no sound. The surroundings were eerily quiet, and even his and Li Xiaoyi's hair did not sway at all.
Shen Xu's heart skipped a beat. He realized that the black-robed man in front of him had probably reached a pinnacle of control over wind and power.
Just as the figure in black robes was about to slowly land on the ground, a bright blue sword light suddenly appeared, like a nimble ribbon, carrying a chilling aura capable of freezing the soul, and slashed towards the head of the man in black robes with lightning speed.
Faced with this sudden and extremely fierce attack, the black-robed man's expression changed instantly.
His sharp eyes could clearly capture the trajectory of the sword light, and he was fully capable of avoiding this seemingly fatal blow.
However, the terrifying chill contained within the sword light continuously invaded the depths of his soul, causing his thoughts and physical reactions to slow down in an instant.
Although it was only a brief moment, it was enough to decide life and death in a duel between masters.
In the blink of an eye, the azure sword light appeared like a ghost in front of the man in black robes, aiming straight for his vital points.
However, even if such a powerful attack landed on him, it wouldn't be enough to hurt him, but the chilling aura within the sword light was troublesome.
Just sensing it slowed his reaction; if he were hit head-on, he would be in a very passive situation.
In an instant, an invisible beam of light, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, suddenly spread out from the black-robed man's forehead like lightning.
When Li Xiaoyi's azure sword light met this beam of light, it melted rapidly into specks of light, just like snow in summer encountering the scorching sun, and eventually dissipated under the brilliant sunlight.
Just as the man in black robes broke through Li Xiaoyi's attack, Shen Xu's attack followed immediately. Black mist swirled around his sword as he made a feint slash at the void in front of the man in black robes.
The moment the black mist dissipated, the man in the black robe suddenly felt a chilling sense of loneliness rise up in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, countless past memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
Parents lying in pools of blood, a dark and terrifying prison, a deep and dark hall filled with endless darkness, companions dying one by one before him, and the silent, lonely guardians who have guarded him for so many years...
Before he could break free from these painful memories, the man in black robes suddenly felt a chill run down his neck.
That coldness seemed to penetrate directly into the depths of his soul.
The next moment, all his consciousness and perception were plunged into boundless darkness forever by this icy impact.
Li Xiaoyi's eyes were as cold as frost as she slowly pulled the long sword that was slashing at the neck of the man in black robes.
The sword, crafted from millennia-old ice jade marrow, was crystal clear and exuded a chilling aura. The blade was unstained by any blood, as if the attack had not caused any real harm to the man in black robes.
As Li Xiaoyi sheathed his sword, the black-robed man's body seemed to lose its support and collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, the enormous black wings that had enveloped it gradually dissipated into the world like smoke, leaving only a faint trace of its aura floating in the air.
Shen Xu knew that the black-robed man's strength was definitely not limited to this; he estimated that he wouldn't be able to break through the black-robed man's defenses even without using the Sixfold Wave technique.
However, the Blood Central Realm offers almost no protection for the soul, and no one is more qualified to speak about the destructive power of Li Xiaoyi's chill on the soul than he is.
"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Xiao Yi, go start the shuttle. I'll go find Zhong Wei and the others."
Li Xiaoyi gave Shen Xu a deep look. Although she had many questions to ask, she knew that now was not the time for idle chatter, so she opened the flying shuttle door and went inside.
Zhong Wei did not take He Yu very far. At this moment, he was supporting He Yu and looking at Cuixia Garden not far away with a worried expression.
He heard Shen Xu ask Li Xiaoyi the question, and he also saw the huge black wing descending from the sky.
However, he still finds it hard to accept this. He doesn't understand what Shen Xu and the others did to attract the pursuit of a True Blood Realm expert.
That's the True Blood Realm, a figure standing at the very top of the Blood Central Realm!
He knew that Shen Xu had once killed a Blood Transformation Realm expert, but the True Blood Realm and the Blood Transformation Realm were two completely different worlds.
Even ordinary Blood Transformation Realm cultivators cannot break through the defenses of True Blood Realm Spirit Blood Warriors. No matter how amazing his talent is, it is impossible for him to defeat a True Blood Realm Spirit Blood Warrior at this age.
So when he saw Shen Xu, he couldn't help but show an incredulous expression on his face, "Could it be that the True Blood Realm cultivator wasn't here to hunt them down, and that this is all a misunderstanding?"
That must be it. I didn't hear anything; they definitely didn't fight.
Thinking of this, Zhong Wei breathed a sigh of relief and then led He Yu to greet them.
"You scared me to death! I thought something terrible had happened!" Zhong Wei said with a laugh.
Shen Xu looked at Zhong Wei with some surprise. "I'm afraid you can't come with us to Cangtianyuan. We killed the Spirit Blood Warrior sent by the royal family. If you come with us, it will likely implicate the Hua family."
Zhong Wei's smile froze instantly, and he stammered, "You...you...are you sure?"
"I'm afraid I don't have time to explain to you, Heyu, let's go!" After Shen Xu finished speaking, he pulled Heyu and walked into the garden, leaving Zhong Wei, who had not yet reacted to his words, standing there in a daze.
