Chapter 747 - 363: Explanation and Taking the Blame
Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.
"Damn, someone has their sights on the Spiritual Ore."
"Activate the array, prepare for battle."
"Stop mining, all cultivators restore your mana, and stay on high alert!"
In the three mined spiritual ores, when the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance guarding them received the Sound Transmission Talisman, their expressions changed and they gravely ordered the activation of the high alert status.
The Island Protection Array was fully activated, all the cultivators prepared for battle, and even mining was temporarily halted.
As the three spiritual ores were far apart, the Nascent Soul Cultivators guarding each island had to urgently use the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman.
They did not act rashly but guarded the spiritual ores.
On the other end of the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, the Sword Servant and Cyan-Horned Bull were fleeing into the depths, away from the three spiritual ores.
In the chase, the Sword Servant used her familiarity with the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea to keep evading.
"Great, great, great! I never expected a mere Core Formation Early Stage to possess such strength."
During the intense chase, the masked member of the Meng Family became more alarmed the more he fought, surprised at the strength of this female cultivator.
Even though there’s the aspect of being a Sword Cultivator, a Core Formation Early Stage being able to unleash strength rivaling a Core Formation Middle Stage Sword Cultivator’s is astonishing.
"Could it be that the Evil Essence Sword Formulas are truly that terrifying!?"
In his mind surfaced the image of the Blood Evil Master; they had crossed paths once at the start of a Secret Realm, knowing only of his notorious reputation.
Under the terrifying sword aura of the Sword Servant, the masked Meng saw it as a result of cultivation technique alone.
He failed to notice that the Sword Servant possessed a Spirit Body, as the same cultivation technique could yield different results in the hands of cultivators with different talents.
"You wretch, you can’t escape. Surrender peacefully to avoid unnecessary pain."
While pursuing, the masked Meng wielded a long blade magical treasure, continuously slashing giant blade auras, leaving countless traces in the mist.
"Moo!"
Despite being endowed with the Celestial Spirit Sword Body and capable of fighting above her realm, the Sword Servant was exhausted in this prolonged chase against a Core Formation Late Stage opponent, as the gap was substantial.
Just as a terrifying blade aura approached, the Cyan-Horned Bull roared angrily, unable to conceal anymore, a light beam shot out from its mouth directly.
"Moo!"
The light beam shattered the blade aura in an instant, making the masked Meng snort contemporaneously ’beast’, raising his magical treasure to block the attack.
However, when he saw out of the corner of his eye the crumbled blade aura turning into stones, his pupils contracted fiercely.
"Not good!"
Too late to react, the light beam reached before him, its terrifying force made him furious and startled.
"A mutated demon beast, how is it possible!"
Under the beam, his mana shield in front began to petrify, even his long blade magical treasure showed signs of petrification.
At this moment, the Meng was extremely shocked; mutated demon beasts were even rarer than Nascent Soul cultivators.
Having lived for five hundred years, he had seen many Nascent Soul Cultivators, but had only heard of mutated demon beasts - this was his first encounter.
But in this gap, a huge sword aura, flickering with electricity and about ten feet long, appeared overhead.
Giant Sword Technique
"To think it’s a mutated demon beast, but you underestimate Core Formation Late Stage cultivators!"
Facing the overwhelmingly powerful sword overhead, Meng roared, admitting he underestimated the opponent.
This mere Tier Three Middle Stage mutated demon beast’s power could rival a Tier Three Late Stage.
But he was not an average Core Formation Late Stage cultivator.
Raging and roaring, Meng’s side temples became visibly paling, and he spat essence blood on his protective Dharma treasure.
Instantly a turtle shell defensive magical treasure appeared above.
When the thunderous power of the giant sword collided with the turtle shell, a terrifying explosion sound erupted, sweeping the mists away.
Even the sea below rolled out a vast deep pit.
"Crack!"
A harsh sound echoed, causing the masked Meng’s pupils to shrink, facing the strongest attacks of the mutant demon beast Cyan-Horned Bull and the Sword Servant.
To his shock, a crack appeared on his defensive magical treasure, the turtle shell.
"Damn it, this Lin has hidden so well, even possessing a mutated spirit pet, no wonder he advanced from a Tier One Loose Cultivator to this point!"
Despite his inner rage, Meng could no longer care about his exposure, unleashing a long-hidden Cultivation Technique Divine Technique.
With a thunderous explosion, a terrifying shockwave surged, while the enormous waves swept sky-high on the sea’s surface.
"Wretched girl!"
A chilling voice echoed, and the Sword Servant groaned amid the explosion’s aftershock, a trickle of red slipping from the corner of her mouth. She hastily recalled her two flying swords, fleeing with the Cyan-Horned Bull once more.
"Let’s see where you can escape!"
With his identity exposed, regardless of whether the opponent noticed, at this moment, Meng chased fiercely, his eyes growing colder.
This wretched girl must die today, and this mutated demon beast as well.
Having already offended this Lin, he saw no room for negotiation.
In this chase, although the Tier Three Middle Stage Cyan-Horned Bull was powerful, speed was not its forte.
Moreover, Meng had reached the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage years ago, his strength unparalleled.
"Moo!"
Throughout the journey, the Cyan-Horned Bull rampaged through clouds and mist; atop its back, the Sword Servant took out elixirs from her storage bag, swallowing five in one go.
She also fed five Pills to the Cyan-Horned Bull.
"These are elixirs refined by the master to restore mana; keep moving forward, as there’s an array set up on the island ahead by a two-headed tiger to receive us."
In the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, when encountering Tribulation Cultivators, three general escape directions exist, one being toward one of the three nearest spiritual ores.
