Chapter 329 The Imperial Sword Sect Appears

This statement came out.

The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain all changed their expressions.

Especially Yang Lianqing and Ma Ze.

"Zhang Yan."

How could someone be so foolish?

Ma Ze cursed inwardly.

He did this to repay Zhang Yan's life-saving grace in the Yinquan Small World.

Only then did he plead for Zhang Yan's life.

But he was ultimately not at the Dharma Aspect Realm, so he didn't have much say.

They gave Zhang Yan a way out, but he refused to take it.

Ma Ze can't save Zhang Yan now either.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is too arrogant."

"Senior Brother Sun is not someone you can easily talk to!"

Yang Lianqing was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

Ten disciples at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm arrived, while Zhang Yan was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, with Lin Qingyue added at most.

How could that be? A match for the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain?

"it is good!"

"What a fine young master!"

"He has backbone, but unfortunately, backbone requires strength!"

"Since you're not leaving, then stay here forever!"

Senior Brother Sun's face turned ashen as he released his Dharma form.

The statue, a full twenty-six zhang tall, exuded a sinister ghostly aura and stood on the seabed, looking down at Zhang Yan from above.

hum!
The other nine Dharma Aspect Realm experts also released their Dharma Aspects, and the powerful Dharma Aspects stirred up earth-shattering waves on the seabed.

The pressure from the ten Dharma Aspect Realm experts almost materialized, simultaneously pressing down on Zhang Yan and his companion.

Even the surrounding dust was blown away.

"Senior Brother Sun..."

Seeing this, Yang Lianqing still wanted to persuade him.

But he was immediately pushed back by his fellow disciple, the Dharma Aspect Realm senior brother.

"here."

"You have no right to speak."

The Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator rebuked Yang Lianqing, and Yang Lianqing's mouth was sealed by the power of the Dharma Aspect Realm, preventing him from making a sound.

"The young master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion?"

"Today, I will use your blood and the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul to nourish my demonic heart!"

That senior brother Sun grinned maliciously.

Faxiang's right hand suddenly rested on Faxiang's chest.

Then, with a sudden grasp, he pulled out a bloody, still-beating dark red heart.

As soon as the heart appeared, an invisible force locked onto Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan felt as if his heart was being squeezed!
"The methods of the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain."

"Indeed strange."

Zhang Yan squinted and said in a low voice.

"Come here!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun grasped the heart and pulled hard.

Zhang Yan's body seemed to turn into a puppet, immediately being pulled towards the disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

"Junior brother!"

Lin Qingyue's expression changed slightly.

Zhang Yan possesses combat strength comparable to that of a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

But in the end, he was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Perhaps, faced with such bizarre methods, Zhang Yan is actually no better than a typical Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Qingyue also activated her Dharma form.

The twenty-eight-zhang-tall Dharma image, towering like the heavens and the earth, stretched out one hand, trying to pull Zhang Yan back.

"Now you know you're afraid?"

"late!"

The monk surnamed Sun sneered.

boom!
Behind him, nine Dharma Aspect Realm experts attacked simultaneously.

Various ghostly figures appeared and simultaneously pressed down on Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue's strength was close to the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, but she still couldn't fight nine opponents alone. Immediately, even the aura on her body was forced back into her Dharma Aspect.

"Boy!"

Remember this in your next life!

"If you're going to be arrogant, you need to have the right to be arrogant!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun sneered, about to crush Zhang Yan's heart in his hand and completely kill him.

"Is it?"

At the critical moment, a powerful force of Gui water burst forth!
boom!
Hundreds of meters below the seabed, a terrifying vortex had formed, and at its center was Zhang Yan.

A dark gold longsword had appeared in Zhang Yan's hand at some point.

An understated spiritual aura flows across the blade.

The surrounding seawater submitted to him, erasing all the power of the Dharma.

Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue were unharmed.

"you……"

"A fifth-tier magic sword!"

Senior Brother Sun's expression changed drastically. He released the heart from his hand and stared incredulously at Zhang Yan and the Xuanwu Guishui Sword in his hand.

The moment he drew that sword, Zhang Yan seemed like a completely different person.

The power of Gui water is bestowed upon him.

The aura emanating from Zhang Yan instantly surged from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the early-stage Dharma Aspect stage!
But, it was a real insurmountable barrier!

Even Zhang Yan alone could withstand the pressure of ten early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"They actually possess combat strength at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

Yang Lianqing stood in the crowd, his eyes wide open.

once Upon a time.

His strength is almost on par with Zhang Yan's.

Now, Zhang Yan is already comparable to the early stage of the Dharma Aspect realm, while he is only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

No wonder they wouldn't leave.

"So it turns out he possesses strength comparable to the Dharma Aspect Realm."

Ma Ze was also amazed.

Still he shook his head.

No matter how extraordinary Zhang Yan is, he is still just a person.

Even with Lin Qingyue's help, it was to no avail.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun sneered.

The Dharma Image's hand traced lines in the void, and a blood-red humanoid rune slowly appeared.

And this rune represents Zhang Yan.

Once the rune is formed, Zhang Yan's life and death will be in his hands.

"You still want to use this method?"

Zhang Yan remained calm.

boom!
Within the Xuanwu Guishui Sword, a dark golden light erupted as the power of a tenth-stage Nascent Soul was poured into the sword, stimulating the Xuanwu True Spirit within.

hold head high!
With a low hum that reverberated across the sea, a phantom image of Xuanwu, hundreds of feet in size, materialized.

The might of the divine beast was overwhelming, and all waters submitted to it!

Xuanwu's eyes turned red, and its four limbs swept across, instantly shattering the Dharma power of the cultivator surnamed Sun.

"puff!"

The crimson runes disappeared, and the cultivator surnamed Sun suffered a backlash, spitting out blood, his skin bursting open, and his magical power surging wildly.

The magic of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain is not up to par.

Although extremely bizarre, the backlash after it was broken was also very severe.

This cultivator surnamed Sun is now seriously injured.

"Fuck me!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun, with a ferocious expression, shouted angrily.

He, a dignified Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, was actually severely injured by someone in the mid-Nascent Soul Realm. It was an utter disgrace!
Today, we must not only obtain the Jade Pure Cold Pool.

Zhang Yan must also be eliminated!

"Just you?"

Zhang Yan faced nine early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts alone, and instead of retreating, he advanced.

"Black Tortoise Steps to the Heavens!"

Zhang Yan gripped the Xuanwu Guishui Sword and slashed down with it!
hold head high!
The towering Xuanwu raised its upper body, and its two front hooves, like two pillars of heaven, slammed down heavily.

In this vast sea, the power of the Gui water is inexhaustible.

It transformed into two towering vortexes, which pressed down on the nine Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators.

Boom!
The once calm seawater surged forth like two waterfalls, crashing against the nine Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators.

The solid Dharma form was completely caught in the vortex.

Like nine lone boats caught in a storm, they could capsize at any moment.

Furthermore, the terrifying power of the Black Tortoise continuously crushed their Dharma forms.

"puff!"

Soon, one by one, the dim Dharma images broke free from the vortex, their true forms all spitting out blood.

The Xuanwu Guishui Sword remained in the Sea of Burial Demons.

It is better preserved than the other two spirit swords.

The grade has been reached: mid-grade fifth rank.

In addition, the power of water in the Burial Demon Sea is abundant.

Therefore, this sword strike reached the limit of the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Even if nine early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators joined forces, they couldn't withstand it!

hold head high!
Xuanwu raised its head and roared. Zhang Yan stood on the illusory image of Xuanwu and looked down at the Sun surname Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator with a face full of fear.

In a mere instant, the tide turned. Zhang Yan alone suppressed all the disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain!
"evildoer!"

"Absolutely a prodigy!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun was pinned to a rock, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face pale.

He never thought about it.

Zhang Yan, with his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, was able to suppress all of them with a single sword strike!

Zhang Yan held the Xuanwu Guishui Sword, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Step by step, they approached the cultivator surnamed Sun.

"Young Master Zhang... Young Master Zhang!"

"This Jade Pure Cold Pool is offered up by my Corpse Demon Skull Mountain without hesitation."

"I promise I will never come near this place again!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun's voice trembled as he immediately begged for mercy.

"Give it up with bare hands?"

"We were the ones who discovered this Jade Purity Cold Pool first."

Why should you yield to me?

Zhang Yan retorted coldly.

The sword in his hand, gleaming with a chilling light, was pointed at the brow of the cultivator surnamed Sun.

With a single sword strike, even a cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm would surely die.

"Friend Daoist Zhang!"

Just then, Yang Lianqing was able to speak again and walked out from the crowd.

"Lian Qing."

Zhang Yan looked at Yang Lianqing, his expression softening slightly.

"Junior Brother Yang!"

"Please, Young Master Zhang, spare my life!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun looked at Yang Lianqing and pleaded.

This humble demeanor was a stark contrast to his arrogant expression just moments before; he was practically a different person altogether.

No one expected it.

He will fall into such a predicament.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"Senior Brother Sun, it's also for the sake of the sect."

"Please, Junior Brother Zhang, spare us this time."

Yang Lianqing gritted his teeth and still pleaded with Zhang Yan.

He was able to plead with Senior Brother Sun for Zhang Yan's sake before, and now he can plead with Zhang Yan for Senior Brother Sun's sake as well.

"Junior Brother Ma!"

At this moment, the other Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators looked at Ma Ze.

"I……"

Ma Ze was in a dilemma.

He previously thought that Zhang Yan had only himself to blame.

Unexpectedly, I was proven wrong again so quickly.

"Young Master Zhang."

"We were too greedy before, wanting to occupy this Jade Pure Cold Pool."

"I also ask my fellow disciples to let you off the hook."

"Young Master Zhang, could you please spare our fellow disciples for the sake of our friendship?"

In order to save his senior brother, Ma Ze gritted his teeth and begged Zhang Yan for mercy.

Looking at the two of them.

Without uttering a word, Zhang Yan wielded the Xuanwu Guishui Sword, its blade flashing with light, and pierced the forehead of the cultivator surnamed Sun.

But that Senior Brother Sun was like a stray dog in front of Zhang Yan, completely powerless to fight back.

at last.

Zhang Yan sheathed his sword.

"Ma Ze".

"Last time, I saved your life."

"The fact that you stood up for me shows that you at least have some conscience."

"Today, I will let you go, and we will be even."

Zhang Yan, with his back to Ma Ze, said calmly.

"I see."

"Thank you in advance, Young Master Zhang!"

The people of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain were overjoyed and immediately withdrew from the plateau.

"Lian Qing."

I understand your predicament.

"If there is any request, I will definitely not refuse as long as it is within my ability."

Finally, Zhang Yan said something to Yang Lianqing.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Yang Lianqing bowed respectfully.

The friendship between the two has transcended the boundaries between sects.

Since the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain did not kill immediately beforehand.

Zhang Yan can spare them this time.

shhhhhh!
The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain drew lines in the water as they fled in disarray.

"Zhang Yan."

"How exactly does one cultivate?"

"I am also an eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivator. Does having just one more level, a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, make me so heaven-defying?"

Leaving the plateau, Sun, the Dharma Realm expert, felt extremely unwilling.

But Zhang Yan demonstrated his strength.

Indeed, he is not someone who can contend with him.

Even now, he still feels lingering fear from that kind of power.

"Fortunately, we left ourselves a way out."

"Otherwise, I would perish in this Sea of Burial Demons today."

The cultivator surnamed Sun felt relieved as his gaze fell on Yang Lianqing and Ma Ze.

but.

They are destined to be apart from the Jade Pure Cold Pool and the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

We can only continue into the deep sea to search for other resource-rich areas.

call out!
The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain slunk along the seabed when suddenly a large amount of magical energy fluctuations appeared ahead of them.

"Conceal your presence!"

The monk surnamed Sun immediately gave the order.

The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain gathered together and concealed their auras.

The sect that can act so recklessly in the sea must be a powerful immortal sect.

The crowd hid and watched the group of people pass by.

There were sixteen auras at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, one of which was even more powerful, appearing as prominent as a volcano on the seabed.

"Mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm!"

Such a powerful fluctuation of magical energy naturally indicates the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"This is... the Imperial Sword Sect!"

The cultivator surnamed Sun used the severed hand of the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain to investigate from a distance and discovered the identities of these people.

Only the Sword Control Sect, the leader of the five great immortal sects, could be so arrogant.

One person at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, plus sixteen people at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Enough to sweep across the surrounding seas!
"People from the Imperial Sword Sect."

"Isn't it in the sea opposite?"

"How did you manage to cross most of the Demon Burial Sea to get here?"

Sun, the Dharma Realm expert, was filled with doubt.

However, judging from the path taken by the Imperial Sword Sect, they will definitely pass through the Jade Pure Cold Pool.

This means that the Imperial Sword Sect will clash with the Divine Weapon Pavilion!
"Jade Clear Cold Pond."

"It has always belonged to the Imperial Sword Sect."

"If we run into Zhang Yan, it'll be quite a show."

The cultivator surnamed Sun squinted as he thought.

He himself did not obtain the Jade Pure Cold Pool, and it would be best if the Divine Weapon Pavilion could not obtain it either, otherwise he would feel unbalanced.

But this time.

Yang Lianqing, however, quietly left among the disciples.

"Senior Brother Sun."

"It seems that Yang Lianqing went to inform Zhang Yan."

A Dharma Realm expert reminded Senior Brother Sun.

"Let him be."

"Anyway, it won't have much of an impact on us."

The cultivator surnamed Sun didn't care much.

The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain left a place for Yang Lianqing and then left to avoid being implicated by the Imperial Sword Sect.

……

Yuqing Hanchi.

Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue were just about to enter the icy pool.
