I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"What a bunch of useless trash."

As he spoke, Xu Hetong seemed to laugh, a sinister smile that sent chills down one’s spine.

"Well then!"

With those words, Xu Hetong opened his mouth, and a force of suction swept through the cavern.

The blood spilled by the demon cultivators slain by Liou Yuan and Yan Yingsi, which had flown onto the ground, was drawn by that suction towards Xu Hetong’s mouth.

They soared into the air, transforming into ribbons of crimson, completely rushing towards Xu Hetong’s location.

Liou Yuan knew the bizarre ways of demon cultivator techniques; if Xu Hetong were to absorb all this demon blood, it would certainly be a great benefit to him.

"No way!" Liou Yuan growled, decisively taking action.

Boom! The Canglan Sword shot out from his hand and, under the blessing of the Artifact Manipulation Celestial Calculation Spell, pierced the entrance of the passage like a rainbow.

Xu Hetong’s dark gold eyes fixed on the sword shot by Liou Yuan; for a Wind Chasing Division disciple, it was a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye, yet it was clearly visible in his spiritual eyes.

"Ridiculous!" He sneered, gently pointing a finger at the oncoming Canglan Sword.

Swoosh! A dark golden light shot out.

Tian Qiweng, ranked in the top twenty of the Outer Sect, met his end under this move.

The dark golden light was extraordinarily sharp, slicing through the air before him, emitting a piercing sound.

However, just as this dark light was about to collide with Liou Yuan’s Canglan Sword.

"Swift!" Liou Yuan formed a sign with his hands, the Canglan Sword carrying azure long rainbow split into seven.

Sword Technique Silent Shadow Shattering Waves.

After Liou Yuan reached Small Success with the Artifact Manipulation Celestial Calculation Spell, he was able to use this sword control skill to perform the technique.

He often used Silent Shadow Shattering Waves to restrict opponents’ movements; it was less powerful than Shock Tide.

Yet in certain moments, it could yield unexpected results.

For instance, now, Liou Yuan lacked confidence in confronting an attack from a Half-Step Foundation Establishment Golden Core descendant, but he could use Silent Shadow Shattering Waves to confuse the opponent, who, in haste, certainly could not pinpoint the true body of the Canglan Sword.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Three sharp sounds.

The three Rain Swords created by Silent Shadow Shattering Waves were shattered by Xu Hetong’s golden light.

Still, four Rain Swords struck towards Xu Hetong.

They did not directly attack Xu Hetong but, under Liou Yuan’s intentional control, slashed at the demon blood drawn in front of Xu Hetong.

Bang! A sound of explosion.

The blood ribbons drawn in front of Xu Hetong were shattered by the four Rain Swords, transforming into a sky full of blood rain splattering the cavern walls.

Liou Yuan practiced the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill, and his spiritual power had long since carried the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi’s sharpness.

The blood shredded by the Rain Swords was stirred by the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi contained in Liou Yuan’s power, erasing all its spiritual essence.

Ultimately, the blood entering Xu Hetong’s mouth was but a tiny amount.

"Well done!" Yan Yingsi, rarely giving a compliment, exclaimed.

She had thought if Liou Yuan failed, she would rush up and use the Red Robe Swallowing Dome Spell to absorb the blood, but now Liou Yuan had accomplished the task with minimal effort, prompting her to praise.

On the other side, after Liou Yuan’s move, Xu Hetong’s face instantly turned grim, his dark golden eyes filled with cruel light, fixed relentlessly on Liou Yuan, intent to kill tangible.

"Ha!" Liou Yuan didn’t care about Xu Hetong’s murderous intent, instead imitating Yan Yingsi’s mocking smile.

Five Extremes Mountain disciples and Linlang Domain were natural enemies; even without sabotaging his plan, he wouldn’t spare the chance to harm Liou Yuan.

His fingers moved, ready to recall the Canglan Sword.

At that moment, Xu Hetong suddenly took action, his palm exerting suction towards the Canglan Sword.

Since Liou Yuan’s sword had shattered the blood ribbons, it was very close to Xu Hetong, giving him a chance.

Liou Yuan felt himself lose control over the Canglan Sword as Xu Hetong’s palm unleashed suction power, much stronger than the Artifact Manipulation Celestial Calculation Spell.

"You bastard!" Liou Yuan cursed but could only watch his beloved sword being taken by Xu Hetong.

Clang! The sound of metal shattered.

As Xu Hetong gained control of Liou Yuan’s Canglan Sword, he snapped it with his hands.

The superior magical artifact was treated like a rotten branch, breaking into seven or eight segments, the azure metal fragments falling at Xu Hetong’s feet.

Having done this, Xu Hetong looked at Liou Yuan with even more mocking eyes, as if to say, "You ruined my blood, I broke your flying sword."

The Wind Chasing Division disciples had previously engaged Xu Hetong under Yan Yingsi’s lead.

Yan Yingsi was overwhelmed by Xu Hetong, forcing the Wind Chasing Division disciples into this cavern space, relying on her Blood Jade Pendant to survive.

Therefore, it was no surprise to see Liou Yuan’s flying sword broken.

Xu Hetong’s strength left the Wind Chasing Division disciples silent.

"Retreat!" Yan Yingsi, who was known in Liou Yuan’s mind as a fearless woman, for the first time called for retreat.

Without waiting for Liou Yuan’s response, she swiftly dragged him, retreating quickly.

Her call for retreat naturally meant withdrawing into the array set up by Liou Yuan.

During this, Xu Hetong did not obstruct.

Since his position marked the only exit of the cavern space.

The two successfully retreated into the array, Yan Yingsi watching Xu Hetong outside, explained hoarsely to Liou Yuan, "You wondered why I said the array’s duration wasn’t sufficient before?"
