Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

The location of the Xuanwu Guishui Sword.

It is the end of the snake demon's corpse.

The area above was sealed off by the pure white, jade-like corpses, and even a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator could not break through it.

The area behind them marks the end of the swamp.

It is a purplish rock, left over from the great war between humans and demons, and is extremely solid.

Lin Qingyue's heavy water power had no effect on either of these two areas.

And the rear.

The people from the Human Alliance have caught up.

Lin Qingyue is now using her Dharma form to make a final stand.

The twenty-seven-zhang-tall Heavy Water Dharma Form is already extremely close to the mid-stage of the Dharma Form Realm.

But in the end, it was still three zhang short.

"Young Pavilion Master!"

"We'll risk everything, even self-destruction."

"This can buy us some more time. There must still be gaps in these corpses."

"Hurry up and leave with the spirit sword!"

The three senior brothers at the Dharma Aspect Realm released their Dharma Aspects, prepared for certain death.

They came from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and today is the time for them to repay their sect.

This competition.

Anyone else can stay, but Zhang Yan must leave alive!

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"I've found a hidden passage."

"Take the spirit sword and go!"

Using her Dharma Image, Lin Qingyue discovered a crevice in the rock to her left rear and immediately spoke to Zhang Yan.

Done.

She didn't give Zhang Yan a chance to speak.

The power of heavy water transformed into a water sphere, encompassing Zhang Yan and the Xuanwu Gui Water Sword within it.

With his last bit of strength, he pushed the water balloon out.

A surging aura of a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator filled the swamp.

The final moment.

Through the Dharma image, Zhang Yan saw two lines of clear tears on Lin Qingyue's pretty face.

"Senior sister!"

Zhang Yan's eyes were bloodshot.

His blood and energy were almost boiling.

He cultivated himself to this point, wasn't it all for the sake of protecting the people he cared about?
If Lin Qingyue were to die in front of him.

What other path does he cultivate?

"Wear it!"

Without hesitation, Zhang Yan immediately used the equipment system to equip the Xuanwu Guishui Sword.

A flood of insights suddenly rushed into his mind.

Even though Zhang Yan's cultivation had reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, it was still somewhat difficult for him to withstand.

Because of the Xuanwu Guishui Sword.

Buried beneath the Sea of ​​Burial Demons, it is remarkably well-preserved.

The grade remains at mid-grade fifth rank!

The spirituality within is even more astonishing.

[Equipment Name]: Xuanwu Guishui Sword

[Equipment Tier]: Mid-Tier 5
[Equipment Quality]: Gold
[Equipment Effect]: LV5: Xuanwu Legacy (After equipping the Xuanwu Guishui Sword, one can comprehend the fifth-order perfect Guishui True Meaning.)
LV5: Xuanwu Guishui Sword Technique (Fifth-tier technique, capable of condensing a Xuanwu phantom, comparable to a full-force strike from the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.)
LV5: Gui Water Primordial Body (After wearing the Xuanwu Gui Water Sword, one can walk on water as if on flat ground, as if divinely aided.)
LV5: Four Directions Annihilation Sword (After equipping the Xuanwu Guishui Sword, this sword technique can be used in conjunction with the other four spirit swords. Its power increases with the number and grade of the spirit swords.)
The moment the Xuanwu Guishui Sword was discovered.

Zhang Yan used the equipment system to check the sword's attributes.

This sword is the main weapon.

The power of unleashing the Four Directions Annihilation Sword will surely be astonishing!

"quick!"

"Faster!"

Zhang Yan absorbed the insights about the Four Directions Annihilation Sword at top speed.

He even bled from all seven orifices, and his entire brain felt like it was being pricked by needles.

The dark gold Xuanwu Guishui Sword.

Almost instantly, they were imbued with Zhang Yan's aura.

The light flowed through it, and the Xuanwu pattern on the hilt seemed to come alive.

A terrifying force.

It was rapidly brewing in this heavy swamp.

"If my senior sister were to perish."

"I will kill every disciple of the Human Dao Alliance!"

Within the bubbles, Zhang Yan's voice sounded like Yama, the King of Hell, descending from the deepest hell to claim lives.

……

In the swamp.

Lin Qingyue saw Zhang Yan off.

Turning around, he faced the Dharma Aspect Realm of the Human Race Dao Alliance.

Even without those, Xu is at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The Human Alliance also has eight members at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The four members of the Divine Weapon Pavilion were all at their last gasp and were no match for them.

"Senior sister!"

"You can go with the young master."

"We'll cover their retreat!"

The three Dharma Aspect Realm experts all looked at Lin Qingyue and spoke.

"My death is not a pity."

"If it implicates Junior Brother Zhang."

"Has everything we've done been for nothing?"

Lin Qingyue shook her head, her resolve unwavering.

Although the Xuanwu Guishui Sword was found.

However, no one would believe that Zhang Yan could make it recognize him as its master in such a short time.

and so.

They must delay as much as possible.

Let Zhang Yan leave with the spirit sword.

boom!
A terrifying pressure from a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator swept across the land, suppressing everything in its path.

The four members of the Divine Weapon Pavilion simultaneously groaned, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Humph!"

"Zhang Yan isn't here?"

Xu, standing high above, swept his gaze over the four people but did not find Zhang Yan, which greatly displeased him.

He was a dignified being in the middle stage of the Dharma Image Realm.

They actually let Zhang Yan escape right under their noses.

"The Human Alliance is acting perversely!"

"Deliberately targeting my Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

"Once the competition is over, we will definitely demand justice!"

A Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Divine Weapon Pavilion spoke up, cursing loudly.

His physical form was only fifteen feet tall.

Compared to the thirty-six-zhang Dharma Form of the Xu family in the middle stage of the Dharma Form Realm, it was like a malnourished child.

"Do you still want justice?"

"I tell you."

"Your Divine Weapon Pavilion is no longer worthy of being one of the five great immortal sects."

"The best outcome would be for them to be annexed by my Human Race Alliance!"

"Since Zhang Yan has escaped, then I will cripple your cultivation and make you wish you were dead!"

Xu, the Dharma Image Realm expert, glanced at Lin Qingyue's pretty face, his expression full of smugness.

"Don't think about it!"

The three Dharma Aspect Realm experts from the Divine Weapon Pavilion had drastic changes in expression, and one of them almost bit his teeth to pieces.

Even if I die.

"You won't get away with this!"

Lin Qingyue spoke coldly, her face expressionless.

she knows.

If she were still alive, it would actually make Zhang Yan more concerned.

Rather than keep Zhang Yan tied down any longer, it's better to die!
Done.

The three disciples at the Dharma Aspect Realm were the first to unleash their Dharma Aspects, attempting to self-destruct them.

Inside that fifteen-zhang-tall Dharma image.

The power of heaven and earth raged uncontrollably, rapidly expanding until it was about to explode.

"In front of me."

"Do you have the right to self-destruct?"

Xu, in the middle stage of the Dharma Realm, sneered.

The next moment, a powerful Dharma power swept across the sky and formed a rune a hundred feet in size in the swamp.

Runes fell.

The body of that Dharma form instantly shattered into pieces, and the shockwaves from its self-destruction were suppressed.

"No!"

He struggled frantically, but the runes landed on his image and quickly tightened.

Ultimately, the Dharma Image was sealed away.

The runes pierced through the Dharma form and fell into his true form.

Bang!
A cultivator at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm died just like that, his flesh and blood bursting open.

The remaining two were also suppressed by the same runes, unable to self-destruct or escape.

"Your turn!"

The cultivator surnamed Xu looked at Lin Qingyue, who was at the very end.

"We must not be captured alive!"

Lin Qingyue felt a chill run through her body and lost all hope.

The twenty-seven-zhang-tall Heavy Water Dharma Image emitted a dazzling dark blue light from its internal Dharma Image power.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qingyue will perish as her Dharma form self-destructs!

"Senior sister!"

"No!" At the last moment, Lin Qingyue suddenly heard Zhang Yan's voice again.

But when you open your eyes, all you see are dazzling Dharma runes.

"As long as my junior brother can live, it's all worth it!"

Lin Qingyue closed her eyes again, and all the magical power in her limbs and bones erupted.

But the next moment.

A force even stronger than the power of water suppressed Lin Qingyue's magical power.

"puff!"

Lin Qingyue's self-destruction attempt failed, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood, her consciousness becoming blurred.

Immediately afterwards, she found herself in a warm embrace.

Lin Qingyue instinctively tried to struggle.

"Next, leave it to me."

But then a voice that was all too familiar entered her ears.

"Junior Brother Zhang...cough!"

Lin Qingyue felt weak all over and spat out another mouthful of blood, tightly hugging the person next to her.

She did everything she could.

Even if it means death, she wants to be with Zhang Yan.

but.

Now that Zhang Yan has returned, we certainly can't let this happen!

hum!
The clear and melodious sword inscription resounded throughout heaven and earth, the sword light surged, and three powerful forces of heaven and earth converged together.

Zhang Yan held Lin Qingyue in his arms.

The three spirit swords behind him had already been pushed to their limits.

The phantoms of the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon pushed through the swamp and descended.

A mixture of blue and white light emanated from the area, and a terrifying power of annihilation permeated the air.

"This move again?"

"Zhang Yan, do you think I'll let myself get the short end of the stick a second time?"

The cultivator surnamed Xu sneered, waved his hands, and a white net appeared, enveloping Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue.

The thick swamp around them encountered this large net.

It was silently extinguished by the light within.

Even the Dharma Aspect Realm at the initial stage.

Even under the vast net, one will be torn to shreds and reduced to nothingness.

Not to mention.

One Zhang Yan.

"They all escaped."

"You dare to come back?"

"If you were my junior brother, I would die with my eyes wide open in disbelief! Hahaha!"

The cultivator surnamed Xu sneered.

"Then go to die!"

Zhang Yan was furious like never before, and a third spirit sword appeared!
hum!
A phantom of a Xuanwu, hundreds of feet tall, appeared from behind.

The Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise, arranged in a three-element formation, surrounded Zhang Yan.

Blue, white, and dark gold—three forces intertwined.

An unprecedented power of annihilation spread out, forming ripples that swept across the heavens and earth.

The power within the sword's edge has already surpassed the limits of the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm!

The three swords combined into one.

Once again, he unleashed the Four Directions Annihilation Sword!

A hundred-foot-long, three-colored sword beam stretched across the heavens and earth, unstoppable!

Stab it!

Even the inescapable net cast by the cultivator surnamed Xu was instantly shattered!

"how is this possible?"

"It's only been less than half an hour."

"Has his understanding of swordsmanship improved again?"

The cultivator surnamed Xu nearly popped his eyes out.

This terrifying sword strike was something even he couldn't withstand!
"All of you, come and hold them off!"

In the nick of time, the cultivator surnamed Xu, in his panic, grabbed two of his junior brothers, both at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect realm, to block this astonishing ultimate sword strike.

"Senior Brother Xu!"

The two disciples were terrified and struggled frantically.

But still, he was sent to the edge of the sword.

Stab it!

Upon contact with the sword's edge, both disciples, along with their Dharma Link and true forms, were reduced to dust.

However, the light of the sword also dimmed somewhat.

"They actually used their own junior brother to die in their place!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and cursed.

If it weren't for these two junior brothers blocking the way...

Xu, a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, would undoubtedly die under this sword strike.

Not everyone.

"We can all be like you and me..."

At that moment, a weak voice reached Zhang Yan's ears.

Lin Qingyue slowly reached out and grasped Zhang Yan's hand, resting her snow-white forehead against Zhang Yan's chest.

no matter what the result is.

They were fellow disciples, sharing life and death.

Looking at Lin Qingyue's haggard face, Zhang Yan felt as if a piece of flesh was missing from his heart.

Zhang Yan raised his head again and bit his tongue.

A mouthful of blood essence fell into the Xuanwu Guishui Sword!

"Xuanwu Guishui Sword Technique!"

"True Technique of Sword Control!"

Zhang Yan mustered his last strength and unleashed another sword strike!
The sword light was dark gold, its brilliance restrained yet its sharpness fully revealed.

This sword beam.

It merged with the sword light in front.

The speed increased dramatically, and it also received the blessing of the Gui Water Yuan Body!

"No!"

Finally, Xu, at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, had no way to avoid being caught up by the sword light.

Even if it is a Dharma form that is thirty-six feet tall.

It was also cleaved by the sword light, and the power of heaven and earth inside was suppressed, but the sword light continued to advance.

The cultivator surnamed Xu's true form, with wide eyes, was split in two by the sword light.

Mid-stage of the Dharma Realm.

陨！
After killing the cultivator surnamed Xu, the sword light had not yet disappeared. It continued forward and killed three more cultivators at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm!

The swamp was stained blood-red, and all was silent.

With a single sword strike, he killed six Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators, including one in the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm!

"escape!"

In the end, the three remaining early-stage Dharma Aspects of the Human Race Alliance panicked and fled with the rest of their people as quickly as possible.

The danger that had befallen everyone was finally averted.

"puff!"

Zhang Yan's magical power in his dantian was completely exhausted. He spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed onto Lin Qingyue's shoulder.

The two leaned against each other, both at the Dharma Aspect Realm level, yet they didn't even have the strength to stand.

Silence lingered in the swamp for a long time.

Zhang Yan took out two pills from his storage bag and fed them to Lin Qingyue. He then swallowed the remaining pill, which was stained with blood from the corner of Lin Qingyue's mouth.

The two of them then recovered somewhat.

This battle was too brutal.

Even Zhang Yan was pushed to his limit.

The two helped each other to their feet.

"My two senior brothers."

Looking at the two severely injured early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators, Zhang Yan once again took out healing pills.

The two silently accepted the pills without saying a word.

"Today's events."

"I will never forget."

"Sooner or later, I will kill all the disciples of the Human Race Dao Alliance."

Zhang Yan, his killing intent surging, said in a cold voice.

The three men looked at him, and none of them suspected anything.

Because Zhang Yan has sufficient strength.

After burying the remains of that senior brother, Zhang Yan and the other three found a crevice and used it to restore their magical power.

However, Zhang Yan still needs to help Lin Qingyue regulate her internal magical power.

Just now, Lin Qingyue was at the last moment of self-destruction.

His magical power was out of control and could erupt at any moment.

It was Zhang Yan who used the power of Gui water.

It was forcibly suppressed.

Otherwise, Lin Qingyue would have already passed away.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"sorry to bother you."

"Within the restrictions," Lin Qingyue said, her face pale.

"If it weren't for me."

"Why must you do this, Senior Sister?"

Zhang Yan shook his head, feeling immense sorrow in his heart.

His fingers touched Lin Qingyue's back, and the power of Gui water flowed into her snow-white skin.

Lin Qingyue closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

The dark golden power of Gui water suppressed Lin Qingyue's own heavy water power.

The chaotic magical energy within his body gradually returned to stability.

After initial recovery.

Lin Qingyue's aura suddenly surged several notches. (End of Chapter)
