Chapter 451
“I’ve looked into it. This person’s swordsmanship is decent, but it’s far from extraordinary. Compared to his hammer techniques, it’s hardly worth mentioning.”
“Well, after all, it’s a divine weapon, her weapon from back in the day.”
Prince Qian shook his head, seemingly lost in thought. “Even if wielded by a child, it shouldn’t be underestimated.”
“Better in her hands than in Ying Bing’s.”
The man in the golden mask said, “In his hands, the divine sword would be like a pearl cast into the dark, unable to unleash its full potential, and could even become his downfall. When the time comes for Your Highness to face him, you’ll also have a divine weapon in hand.”
“It’s too early to draw conclusions now.”
Jiang Yu’s expression relaxed.
Indeed.
The divine sword in Li Mo’s hands is far better than in Ying Bing’s or Chu Long’s.
“By the way, the Blood Refinement Hall of the Demon Calling Sect has been quite active in the city lately. The authorities are keeping an eye on it.”
As soon as the words left the golden-masked man’s lips, suddenly—
Prince Qian, dressed in purple robes, stood up, his hair and beard bristling as he gazed toward the outskirts of the city.
“Is it the Heavenly Tribulation?”
“Who can summon the power of the Heavenly Tribulation without my knowledge, across the nine heavens and ten earths?”
With a single step, he transformed into a streak of rainbow-like lightning and shot away.
...
On the outskirts of the city, in a dilapidated temple.
“The Heavenly Tribulation with three thunder patterns should be my current limit.”
“Now it’s only two patterns...”
Ying Bing was engulfed in a storm of thunder.
Despite the immense pain, her thoughts remained unaffected. She even noticed that the temple was collapsing, revealing an entrance to an underground palace.
It’s not surprising for a temple to have an underground palace.
Holding the Taibai Sword, she activated the Jie Shen Yu again, causing three thunder patterns to light up.
She planned to refine her body before investigating further.
But suddenly—
Ying Bing’s heart skipped a beat.
In the underground palace, she distinctly sensed a familiar sword intent.
The divine sword...
But the divine sword is clearly in his possession!
“...”
Ying Bing bit her lip.
At that moment, a more terrifying lightning flashed, faintly shimmering with golden threads, roaring down like a dragon of divine punishment.
Yet she didn’t hesitate for even a moment, instantly making her choice.
Wielding the Taibai Sword, she transformed into a beam of sword light, rushing toward the underground palace with the speed of traversing the void.
...
In the cave, the blood and flesh had taken on a life of their own, resembling a jungle of flesh that exuded an inexplicable fragrance.
“Little Overlord of the Divine Hammer, just use the hammer honestly.”
“Throwing away the hammer to use a sword is just asking for death!”
“Hahahaha...”
The old man’s laughter echoed from all directions.
As his laughter rang out, the flesh jungle erupted into chaos, with blood gourds rising from the ground, each resembling the old man, some young, some old.
The power of the external scene was already beyond human.
If unleashed outside, it could easily bring about a natural disaster.
Swish—
A few strands of hair fell, transforming into a figure identical to Li Mo, who began to battle the old man’s avatar.
The divine sword was sharp and unmatched; wherever its light reached, everything was cleaved in two.
However, it did not harm the old man’s essence.
“Where’s the divine constable? Has he not received the message?”
Li Mo remained calm, executing the sword techniques he had recently learned with fluid grace.
He blended them according to the principles of Dugu Nine Swords, continuously refining and mixing them.
Though he appeared precarious, he was as steady as a rock, even honing his swordsmanship.
At worst, if he couldn’t win, he could just dive into the small world. If the old man dared to chase him into the small world...
Then he would be met by the Celestial Lord!
Li Mo sighed lightly, “If this sword were in Bing’s hands, it could probably break through the external scene before us.”
“Jie jie jie, you’re still thinking about others at a time like this? It seems...”
“After all, this old thing is just barely hanging on; in the external scene, he’s practically a weakling.”
“...”
The old man’s laughter abruptly ceased, and he fell silent.
At the same time, countless walls of flesh began to constrict, tightening around Li Mo.
He was already considering retreating to the small world.
The old man was also preparing to digest him.
Just then—
Rip—
A figure, accompanied by lightning, charged down.
Chapter 503: I Know You Know I Know
At the top of the cave, the rocks, soil, and flesh barriers were all broken open, creating a large hole. Where the Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning spread, the healing of the flesh slowed significantly.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
The old man from the Blood Refinement Hall, Tan Zhu Yin, the male Taoist nun, and the remaining cultists all froze in place as the Heavenly Tribulation approached.
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation, a divine punishment from the heavens, is one of the most lethal paths among many.
This path is controlled by the Grand Uncle of the Great Yu, Jiang Qian, so when they sensed the Heavenly Tribulation, they instinctively thought it was the arrival of a seventh realm master.
“Ying Bing.” Tan Zhu Yin’s face showed astonishment.
“I really want to use her identity to attend the Hidden Dragon Conference,” the male Taoist nun murmured.
No one expected that it would be her riding the Heavenly Tribulation, but it seemed fitting. With her icy beauty and ruby-red lips pressed together, the heavens must surely favor her, even willing to let her act as their agent of punishment.
The divine sword in her hand emitted an excited hum.
Her phoenix-like eyes sparkled with clarity and authority, and there was a hint of... a little dominance?
It was enough to make one hesitant to look directly at her.
“Li Mo, these people don’t look like good guys,” Ying Bing said, her expression flat, her voice cool and detached.
Li Mo cleared his throat, feeling a bit guilty as he nodded, “Yeah, otherwise I would have come to find you sooner.”
“They won’t let you leave?”
Ying Bing furrowed her brows, “That’s indeed quite bad.”
“There’s one at the fifth realm.”
“It’s fine. This external scene doesn’t seem like something he cultivated himself; he won’t be able to stop me.”
Ying Bing’s serene face, with eyes radiating heavenly might, swept over the crowd.
The cultists of the Demon Calling Sect all lowered their heads.
Li Mo instinctively reached for her hand, but was met with a tingling sensation, reminiscent of Auntie Mambo’s electric therapy.
Had Bing practiced some new martial arts again?
This Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have the miraculous effect of purging impurities from within and refining the body...
The Hammer of Treasure was also drawn to him, flying back from the large hole into his hand.
“We’re lucky; the external scene we encountered is relatively weak, and you arrived just in time...”
Ying Bing’s eyelashes fluttered, “Next time, you’re not allowed to run off alone.”
“???”
The old man in the external scene wanted to ask.
If it’s not his own external scene, does that mean it doesn’t count as the fifth realm?
Am I even in the fifth realm? No... am I even human?
How dare you two in the third realm act like this!
He had already realized that the Heavenly Tribulation had nothing to do with the seventh realm. In fact, if Prince Qian had arrived, the people of the Blood Refinement Hall wouldn’t still be standing here.
“What are you still standing there for? Are you addicted to dog food? Get moving!”
With a furious shout, everyone finally snapped out of their daze.
They hurriedly grabbed their weapons, some blocking the escape route, while others surrounded Li Mo and Ying Bing.
The old man in the external scene had nothing more to say.
The male Taoist nun, Gu Liu Hen, was also quite excited. He used the dual energies of yin and yang to disguise himself, but he couldn’t even sketch out Ying Bing’s beauty. All the other beauties on the Hundred Flowers List and the enchanting women of the Hehuan Sect now seemed like mere commoners in his eyes.
Just the thought of being able to take her place and attend the Hidden Dragon Conference as the Cold Fairy made him tremble with excitement.
Beauty to a certain extent can evoke a consensus among all.
“Li Mo, do you know how I spent that half month? Do you know?!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Tan Zhu Yin’s expression twisted, the divine intent of the evil dragon manifesting behind him.
He had long wanted to personally kill Li Mo.
He even once messaged the Black Earth Immortal, hoping that the omnipotent immortal could use his powers to find Li Mo’s whereabouts.
Unfortunately, the Black Earth Immortal was rather aloof and didn’t reply.
“Li Mo, I’m about to summon the third layer of the Heavenly Tribulation.”
Ying Bing’s Taiyin spirit had already connected with him, allowing her to sense his emotions.
“Alright!”
Li Mo replied, gripping the Hammer of Treasure tightly.
Boom—
The Heavenly Tribulation came crashing down in layers, a mix of golden and silver lightning, three layers in total, rolling down simultaneously.
Ying Bing held her sword, pointing the blade toward the heavens, drawing in the lightning.
The Sword of the Celestial Heart of the Divine Sky was originally meant to act on behalf of the heavens, and though it had been modified through Ying Bing’s understanding, its essence remained unchanged.
The terrifying lightning surged in layers, each wave crashing over the last, the lightning transformed into a raging dragon, charging down toward Ying Bing, guided by the divine sword she wielded.
The sword light bloomed like a thousand trees of flowers in the night, breathtakingly beautiful, while the lightning danced like dragons and snakes across the vastness of the world.
This divine sword, harnessing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, finally revealed its true might!
In an instant, the cave was filled with a dazzling golden and silver light, bright as day.
“You are the lightning, you are the light, you are the one and only...”
