Ye Tianling had delved into his studies. Even though he was only organizing the inherited mories of another’s lifeti of research, he had nearly lost himself in the process.
When he finally snapped out of it, Ye Tianling realized the sun was already setting in the west.
And because the Turtle Breath Technique and the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique were running simultaneously, he had sohow remained unhard for such a long ti!
A sense of dread grew in Ye Tianling’s heart. ’I can never be this careless again. If an enemy had launched a sneak attack with Sword Qi, I would have been a dead man!’
As Ye Tianling was lost in thought, the sound of gusting wind suddenly carried from the distance.
It sounded like soone traveling via Sword Control. Though they weren’t moving quickly, the murderous aura they exuded was unmistakable.
"His aura is faint, but it’s definitely in this area. The little bastard can’t escape."
A pleasant, lodious female voice drifted over.
"This little bastard actually managed to learn a decent Concealing Technique! But once we catch him, that technique will be ours!"
A man’s voice, incomparably cold, spoke up. The mont he heard it, Ye Tianling knew exactly who it was!
This person was none other than Ye Tianyun’s older brother, Ye Tianfan.
’They found this quickly? They can detect even with a technique as powerful as the Turtle Breath Technique? It must be so kind of sensory Bloodline Talent.’
Ye Tianling’s heart went cold. He imdiately focused on the Fiery Sun Sword and the Black Feather Escape Talisman within his Qiankun Ring, and a vicious glint appeared in his eyes.
"A Concealing Technique? What good is that? It might work on ordinary people, but before my, Jin Zhifu’s, Bloodline Talent, any such technique is useless!"
The woman’s lodious voice was incomparably cold, and her words were laced with wisps of a soul-assaulting Sword Intent.
’What terrifying Sword Intent... She must be at Sword Intent Third Heaven or higher. I’m only at Sword Qi Third Heaven. I probably can’t beat her... This is bad.’
Ye Tianling’s expression turned grave.
He ntally locked onto the Black Feather Escape Talisman, ready to activate it the instant sothing went wrong.
However, just running away like this was clearly not in his nature.
Ye Tianling’s expression was grimly uncertain.
By now, Ye Tianfan and Jin Zhifu had arrived among the dense ancient trees, less than a hundred ters away.
Ye Tianling held his breath, focusing his mind as he pushed the Turtle Breath Technique to its absolute limit.
At the sa ti, he activated the Dragon Blood within his body, directing the Dragon Blood from the Second Layer of the Celestial Ladder between his brows to converge on the Fiery Sun Sword within his Qiankun Ring.
"Hm? The little bastard is in the tree."
Jin Zhifu didn’t speak aloud. Instead, she lowered her head, her lips barely moving as she transmitted her voice with Sword Essence.
At the sa ti, she blocked the line of sight and gently touched Ye Tianfan’s arm, preventing Ye Tianling from noticing anything was amiss.
But in that exact instant, Ye Tianling whipped out the Fiery Sun Sword, activated it with the Dragon Blood from the Second Layer, and unleashed his Dugu Sword Intent!
This was a wave of Sword Intent far surpassing the intensity of any he had previously used.
The Sword Intent condensed, forming a solitary, desolate afterimage—as if the figure of a Sword Demon had materialized from the Void!
The Sword Demon’s figure manifested abruptly, then vanished just as suddenly.
Then, the wave of Sword Intent tore through the void, instantly slamming into Jin Zhifu and Ye Tianfan.
"WHOOSH—"
The terrifying Dugu Sword Intent erupted, taking on an overwhelming yet intangible form as it viciously stabbed into both of their Souls.
"VMMM—"
In that instant, a dark blue halo abruptly blood from between the brows of both Jin Zhifu and Ye Tianfan, springing open like a protective shield.
"PFFT—"
The protective shield flashed with green light before emitting a plu of black smoke.
After the protective shield shattered, blood gushed from the seven orifices of both Jin Zhifu and Ye Tianfan. They were a wretched sight, but they were not incapacitated.
"A Profound Tier Upper Grade Soul-Controlling Talisman!"
When Ye Tianling’s Dugu Sword Intent had struck the protective shield, his Soul Talent automatically activated, instantly identifying it.
’Damn it!’
Ye Tianling’s face fell. He imdiately circulated the potent True Qi in his body, channeling it from his ridians to the soles of his feet. He executed Wave-Riding Light Step, dropping from the tree like an afterimage and bolting deep into the dense forest.
His greatest trump card, a Slaughter Technique that relied on a single strike to assault the enemy’s Soul and then finish them with the vicious sharpness of the Fiery Sun Sword, had clearly failed.
Once a Slaughter Technique like that failed, he would be forced onto the defensive.
How could Ye Tianling not flee?
"Little bastard, trying to run?!"
Ye Tianfan roared in anger.
Ye Tianfan and Jin Zhifu had been injured unexpectedly. Their Souls were reeling, and they coughed up blood repeatedly.
When they then saw Ye Tianling fleeing at top speed with an incredibly profound Body Technique, they were overco with shock and fury.
That was a Body Technique of at least Earth Tier Upper Grade!
That little bastard had actually managed to cultivate such a Top Grade Body Technique!
At this mont, Jin Zhifu’s face was even more twisted and savage. Veins popped out on her snow-white arms, and the chilling killing intent she radiated far surpassed Ye Tianfan’s.
A favored daughter of the heavens since birth, when had Jin Zhifu ever suffered such a huge loss? To make matters worse, it happened right in front of Ye Tianfan, the man she adored. This was an incredible loss of face.
"That little bastard deserves to die! To use such a despicable sneak attack! When I get my hands on him, I’m going to throw him into an Alchemy Furnace and refine him alive into a Human Pill!"
Jin Zhifu spat out, her voice dripping with venom.
"Hahahahaha! Ye Tianfan, Jin Zhifu, you despicable couple, you mongrels! Co and hunt down your grandpa! Co on, refine your grandpa into a Human Pill!"
From the distance, Ye Tianling’s booming laughter echoed back.
His voice was so powerful it startled so of the low-level birds and beasts in the forest, sending them flapping frantically into the sky.
"Little bastard, I will definitely kill you!"
Utterly enraged, Jin Zhifu imdiately mounted her Flying Sword, fueled it with Sword Essence Power, and took off after him with Ye Tianfan, transforming into a rainbow of sword light.
However, the forest was not like the open sky. Sword Control was hampered by countless obstacles, which greatly reduced their speed.
This only made Jin Zhifu and Ye Tianfan more frantic and furious, driving them to the brink of madness.
As they went deeper into Forbidden Moon Mountain, the great commotion they were causing began to stir the Fierce Beasts within, and their auras grew progressively more terrifying.
With the Turtle Breath Technique, seven Black Feather Escape Talismans, and his inherited abilities like Qin Dunjia, Ye Tianling was no longer so intimidated by the pair. He therefore made a point of fleeing toward the deepest, most remote parts of the dense forest.
"Little bastard, if you’ve got any guts, stop running!"
Ye Tianfan roared repeatedly, his voice booming like thunder, completely unconcerned about attracting powerful Fierce Beasts.
"You shaless pair, if you’ve got any guts, stop chasing !"
Ye Tianling shouted back as he fled.
Ye Tianfan’s face was twisted with rage. As he flew, he viciously unleashed one beam of Sword Qi after another.
But given his Attack Power, it was very difficult for him to do anything to Ye Tianling from nearly two hundred ters away.
Ye Tianling dodged with incredible ease, almost without effort. In terms of Battle Power, Ye Tianling had already judged that Ye Tianfan wasn’t necessarily much stronger than him.
The truly terrifying one, instead, was the woman—Jin Zhifu—who had yet to make a move.
If that sinister and vicious woman held back, fine, but once she attacked, it would likely be an incredibly hard-to-dodge Absolute Kill!
"Up ahead, the auras are much more chaotic, and there are also the effects of desolate, abandoned Arrays. That little bastard definitely doesn’t understand Arrays. We’ll use a Talisman Array to seal off a small area and kill him!"
Jin Zhifu suppressed her aura as she transmitted the ssage to Ye Tianfan with her Sword Essence.
Ye Tianfan was burning with rage, but upon hearing her words, his heart went cold, and his mind cleared considerably.
At the sa ti, he also realized that he and Jin Zhifu had ventured too deep into Forbidden Moon Mountain.
