Tie Dan’s performance was seamless, but inherently, he was ruthless! Who the hell plays the gentleman’s ga with you! It’s about taking your life when you’re down!
He had long noticed that although Tang Yu’s saber technique was powerful, he himself lacked skill! His strength was insufficient! He couldn’t unleash its true power!
Yes! That technique, like a torrent, ticulously designed, was indeed flawless, continuous, without flaw, with lethal moves!
However, Tang Yu was only at the Golden Core Realm! His Qi Power was lacking!
He could only use it one move at a ti, with inherent weaknesses! Now, having been hit by a hidden arrow, his breathing was obstructed, and his saber technique grew even duller!
Thus, within the overwhelming waves of blades, an irreparable gap imdiately appeared!
Tie Dan naturally wouldn’t give the opponent a chance to recover! Raising his hand, he unleashed the Xuanming Ice Pearl! Suddenly revealing his Xuanming Xuanji Divine Skill! Seizing the control of Xuanming True Qi while the opponent was unprepared!
The ice ball struck with a blast! Ice glows flashed! Growing bigger and bigger! In an instant, it opened a huge rift within the roaring waves of blades! Seizing the opportunity, a breach appeared! Relying on his magic treasure cultivation being superior by a notch! He forcefully broke through this move!
Of course, Tang Yu had managed to hone such skills clearly because he had connections with the Mystic Sect. Even if he wasn’t an outer disciple, he had received so guidance from truetransmissions over a few days!
Therefore, though he begrudged the Xiao Family’s sneaky attacks, he knew the seriousness of the matter. Seeing Tie Dan seizing the montum in a counterattack! Cutting through the waves! He imdiately dealt with it with all his strength!
In an instant, he quickly judged, realizing his Qi Power was insufficient, the opportunity was lost, and even if he used the Ghost Head Xuanming Saber Technique again, it might not necessarily surpass Tie Dan in Qi Manipulation Skills! He imdiately changed his move, turning the ’Dingye’ saber into a circular light, and applied a new saber technique for defense! Blocking the blade around him with full defense!
To be fair, this set of defensive saber techniques was quite top-notch, that long saber almost danced into a circle of moonlight, resistant to even water, and even took a direct strike from the Nascent Soul Ice Pearl Magical Treasure! Dissipating the Qi and transforming the strength! Cutting down the ice pearl in one strike!
But again, Tang Yu’s realm was insufficient! His training level was unfamiliar! His Qi Power was lacking! At least this saber technique lagged far behind the mastery of the Ghost King Tide Head Slash!
So, amidst his hasty breathing control and change of moves, struggling to manage! Tie Dan seized the opportunity and pressed the attack! Relentlessly!
Imdiately pursuing the path opened by the ice pearl! Launching an assault! Changing the offensive! Continuously cutting through the sword energy, breaking through the waves! Cutting a path through the surging blade gang! Leaping forward with sword pointed! To take Tang Yu’s head!
Tang Yu also swung his saber, the crescent moon saber light blossod, aiming to slash off Tie Dan’s limbs!
However, the slash hit nothing! It turned out Tie Dan, to maintain his elegance and not ss up his hair, actually hid within the Ice Qi, producing a bunch of Xuanming Phantoms to bluff his skills!
Right then, Tang Yu fell into the trap! Three slashes hit the void, leaving his defenses wide open, his stance collapsing! Seizing the mont, Tie Dan broke through the wave of blades, rushed nearby! Exercising his power, pinpointing with a finger! Disrupted the Protective True Qi with one blow, striking right at the Shanzhong acupoint!
The chest and abdon are the walls of the internal organs. The Shanzhong is the Heart Envelope’s front acupoint, connected to the Qi of the Eight Converging Acupoints, and is the domain of the Heart Main’s Palace!
When such a crucial acupoint was hit! Tang Yu’s breath abruptly halted, and the Xuanji Xuanming True Qi perated his body through the ridians! Instantly Ice Qi ran chaotically through his body! ridian gates wide open! Entire body paralyzed! Allowing Tie Dan to close in, snatch his saber, and counter-kill! Piercing his abdon, slicing the Dan abdon! Then grabbing his waist with one hand, and seizing his neck with the other, capturing with one move! Holding him aloft!
Defeat!
Xiao Chong, who had shot the hidden arrow, popped his head out, and was instantly overjoyed,
"Brothers! Reinforcents have arrived! The bandit general has been captured! Charge forward and break through; everyone will be rewarded!"
Thus, the morale of the Xiao Family surged, and they charged out in unison!
As for the surrounding bandits, seeing their leader defeated, they also rose in unison to attack, trying to rescue him!
Tie Dan didn’t linger, carrying Tang Yu, charging straight to Xiao Chong’s side.
The surrounding soldiers took him as the rescue force, not blocking his way, even opening the saber formation’s shield wall, allowing him to charge into the formation and throw Tang Yu at Xiao Chong’s feet.
Xiao Chong was overjoyed! Drawing his saber and laughing,
"Haha! You scoundrel! What more do you have to say!"
Tang Yu, ravaged by the Xuanji Ice Qi, his ridians severely injured, face livid like iron, could only close his eyes and await death.
"Traitors and bandits, opposing my Xiao Family, have only one path to death!"
Xiao Chong swung his saber to chop, but unexpectedly Tie Dan suddenly flipped his palm, hitting Xiao Chong’s shoulder at the beast head, a single strike shattering his scapula, rupturing his ridians.
Then, grabbing his cervical spine, infusing him with Xuanji Ice Qi, instantly causing him to suffer high-level paralysis, freezing his entire body, capturing Xiao Chong under his control!
Xiao Chong, "?"
Tie Dan, without another word, lifting Xiao Chong’s neck, ramd his head against the bronze gate. "Boom!" In a single blow, crashing his head, making it bleed profusely and flesh blurred!
And that bronze treasury gate, activated by the Xiao Family’s bloodline, indeed activated the Array Formation Restriction, opening the Grotto Heaven...
Seeing that this fool was quite useful, as a group of miscellaneous people was still caught up in brawling, not reacting yet, Tie Dan dragged the two hostages and leaped into the gate!
Tie Dan carried both Xiao and Tang in his hands, using them as human shields, swiftly charging into the treasure vault.
Arrows and darts launched from both sides, with countless flying arrows, spraying blood from the shield mouths of the two n, leaving almost no patch of intact flesh.
Yet their fate seed not dood, managing to break through the chanisms at the gate and finding things much better inside the treasure vault.
Tie Dan glanced around, seeing that this treasury was a deep and vast cylindrical pit. The pit was extrely deep, with a vertical span of about a hundred feet. Looking upward, there was a round disc-like altar sealing the top, and looking down, the bottom of the abyss shimred with golden light, piled with Treasure Beads, gold, and jade like mountains, accumulated over who knows how long.
Surrounding the extrely smooth deep pit walls, one could see rectangular tal passages, also sealed with large beast-patterned tal doors cast in tal; so places were opened for storing rare treasures, while others were sealed paths leading to unknown places.
Moreover, huge bronze discs floated up and down within the cave, like elevators, moving through the cave at will, though it was unclear what energy or magic was supporting the hovering flight.
Judging by the ornantal patterns within the treasure vault, this place was likely a relic of Ancient Demon Clan civilization but was now used by the Xiao Family as a treasury, leaving it unclear what it originally stored.
Tie Dan tossed the two n to the ground,
"Where is the spiritual elixir now."
Tang Yu snorted coldly, still closing his eyes awaiting death.
Tie Dan sneered, "Ha, you have guts."
Xiao Chong, hearing this, rolled his eyes, straightened up his face, glared at Tie Dan, and said,
"Betraying the Xiao Family! Absolutely impossible! Kill if you must!"
"Good!"
Then Tie Dan punched out, causing Xiao Chong’s neck to twist three tis, then took out a talisman and pasted it on his forehead.
Xiao Chong, "There’s a decree from Ziwei Palace suddenly, to use the elixir for alchemy, and the item has been taken by the Marquis to the Three Constellations."
Upon hearing this, Tie Dan frowned,
The elixir is no longer in Lanling? Then why are you all fighting??
Blood Blade sneered,
"Seems like that Mr. He Lin was also used as a pawn."
Tang Yu was also stunned, not expecting Tie Dan to be so practiced in taking lives, and upon seeing him produce another talisman and look at him with ill intent, hurriedly exclaid,
"The Xiao Family stored a scroll of the Heavenly Book!"
Upon hearing about another Heavenly Book, Kun and Lord Xiao erged, peeking and lurking to watch.
Then Tie Dan asked the watcher,
"Where’s the Heavenly Book?"
Xiao Chong, "The books are in the East Garden, there’s only gold in the vault."
Tang Yu almost broke down hearing this,
"Impossible! The trigram clearly indicated the opportunity was here! And you use the Qingluan Treasure Vault just to store gold!?"
Xiao Chong, "Yes."
Then Xiao Chong’s head tilted, and he died.
Tie Dan was furious, "I hadn’t even asked yet! Why are you interrupting!"
Seeing Tie Dan rolling up his sleeves, Tang Yu hurriedly said,
"Senior brother! We’re all from the mountains, from the sa sect! We should cooperate for mutual benefit, why the needless killing! Why don’t we join forces..."
"How co you didn’t rember we were from the sa sect when you were trying to chop ! Ti to reincarnate!"
Tie Dan, with a knife hand, twisted off Tang Yu’s head, placed a talisman on it,
"Where do you hail from!"
Tang Yu, "Fanghu."
Blood Blade, a local, affird on the spot,
"Oh, Fanghu Immortal Island is indeed occupied by the Demon Sect."
"What exactly did you co to take!"
Tang Yu, "Xuan Nu’s Heavenly Book."
Tie Dan was montarily puzzled, Xuan Nu’s Heavenly Book? Wasn’t Xuan Nu’s Heavenly Book kept in the Nine Yin Sword Pavilion?
Then Blood Blade reminded via transmission,
"Probably a transcription from the Great Grandmaster’s edition, nevermind these details, ask him about the Xiao Family Ancestor’s whereabouts!"
"Where is the Xiao Family Ancestor!"
Tang Yu, "I don’t know."
Then his head tilted, and he too died.
Blood Blade complained,
"Why do you kill them so fast!"
From the sa sect, if not killed, would you leave them for soul searching and devouring?
Tie Dan ignored it, changing into Xiao Chong’s armored clothes and taking up Tang Yu’s long saber, preparing to fight out through the door.
Suddenly, Lord Xiao beckoned to him,
"This way, this way."
Tie Dan turned his head, and following Lord Xiao’s guidance, saw that in this short ti, Kun had opened a secret door on the vault’s suspended wall.
Indeed, thieves won’t leave empty-handed, huh.
