Chapter 656: Chapter 7 Let the Flying Sword Fly for a While
Treat enemies as swiftly as autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves.
These were the words of a great man from a previous life who had led and won countless wars—an experienced perspective.
Dragging things out only leads to the exposure of one’s actions, thus increasing the possibility of failure.
Moreover, both Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun were Sword Cultivators.
Decisiveness and speed are common traits of Sword Cultivators, regardless of gender.
On the third day of their partnership,
the two had already erged in a small town in the Southern Territory’s Ge State.
The town was nad Crane Cry Town and on the surface, it appeared to be a very ordinary mundane town, lacking even a single spirit vein, unsuitable for cultivation.
But Lu Qingshan knew that this place was a branch location of the Netherworld in the Southern Territory.
Because years later, when the shadows of the Netherworld rose, this place beca the first Netherworld branch temple in the Southern Territory to reveal its location.
It was also brought to light by players through a series of quests, making many Southern Territory players talk about it with relish: Who says we’re just extras in the storyline? We too have done great things!
Dantai Qingrun and Lu Qingshan changed their appearances, concealed their Sword Artifacts, and posed as tourists who happened to pass by, quietly entering the town.
Since the Underworld’s main occupation was to remain hidden, their ability to hide, counter infiltration, and detect was extrely acute.
Lu Qingshan did not think highly of Underworld Cultivators, but he had great respect for the Underworld’s “professionalism.”
Thus, even though he was now a Void Refining Cultivator, and Dantai Qingrun was as well, both still acted with extre caution.
According to his mory, this branch of the Netherworld could only be considered mid-level within the Southern Territory Underworld, without any particularly remarkable figures, likely hosting four or five Void Refining Cultivators and several dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators.
As for the reason to strike at this Netherworld branch temple…
“Hit the tigers and flies together,” was also sothing etched into Lu Qingshan’s bones, of course, this did not co from sword cultivation, but from the information received in his previous life.
Besides, Dantai Qingrun and Lu Qingshan needed a pretext, a pretext as a source of information.
As long as this Netherworld branch temple was eradicated, Dantai Qingrun could use it as an excuse to extract information from these people, thereby mobilizing the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Southern Territory to also move against several other Netherworld branch temples.
After all, the Underworld was not like those foolish ga bosses waiting for players to co and defeat them.
If they sensed sothing was wrong, they would hide, escape, and conceal themselves.
Only an attack by multiple cultivators simultaneously, catching the Underworld off guard, was the most rational strategy, and it would cause them the greatest loss.
Thus, the hidden Netherworld branch temple in Crane Cry Town beca the first target Lu Qingshan locked onto.
The town surface was bustling, infused heavily with mundane energy, with no flaws visible.
Because it truly was a mundane town, the town’s residents did not know that their town was actually a hideout for such a nefarious organization as the Netherworld.
This was where the Underworld excelled.
Great concealnt lies within the mundane.
Within the town, there was a small Taoist temple.
The Taoist priests in the temple occasionally told of exorcisms and rescues, so the temple’s incense was quite prosperous.
Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun joined the common folk in offering incense.
“Follow ,” Lu Qingshan whispered at a turn, his figure flashed, leading Dantai Qingrun towards the back mountain of the Taoist temple.
Dantai Qingrun observed Lu Qingshan’s familiarity with the place, her eyes twinkling curiously.
She could manage not to inquire about Lu Qingshan’s sources, but that did not an she was not curious.
…
Lu Qingshan did not release his Divine Sense to search, because the effect of Divine Sense allowed others to discover you at the sa ti you discovered them.
Moreover, he was well aware of the whereabouts of this Netherworld branch temple, so there was no need for extra asures.
The two quickly reached the foot of the back mountain.
“Let’s get started,” Lu Qingshan said, “it’s right inside this mountain.”
The mont he finished speaking, he had already fiercely made his move.
The Dragon Sparrow, in the guise of a Flying Sword, burst forth from his body with a power that left Dantai Qingrun in awe, shooting violently towards the not-so-tall mountain in front of them.
Sword Light twinkled as it soared skyward.
Initially, it was just a thin streak of firelight, but soon, many hazy starlights appeared on the sword body.
A mont later, as the starlight and the firelight reflected each other, the original thin rainbow had grown trendously, like a teor descending from the heavens, a falling star.
Exploding Sword Technique, Falling Star.
The next mont, the sound of a mountain collapsing, like an earthquake or a thunderclap, echoed throughout the town.
Rocks tumbled down, but through the cracked mountain wall, one could see that the interior of the naless mountain had already been hollowed out.
Amidst the sound of the mountain collapsing, faint roars erged from within the belly of the mountain, followed by dozens of dark shadows scattering in every direction.
Lu Qingshan glanced over and imdiately said to Dantai Qingrun by his side, “Three Void Refining Cultivators, thirteen Nascent Souls, and so other riffraff. I’ll handle the Void Refining ones, and you clean up the Nascent Souls and the riffraff without leaving any survivors.”
Having not seen him for many years, he was unsure of Dantai Qingrun’s current combat power.
But he knew that, no matter what the number was, it definitely wouldn’t surpass his; therefore, after pondering, he left the nial tasks to Dantai Qingrun.
“Mhm.” Upon hearing the words, Dantai Qingrun rely pursed his lips and did not object.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three bursts of thunder, three bolts of Thunder-Fire, Lu Qingshan’s three Flying Swords soared into the sky.
Sword Birth Thunder Fire.
The mont before, Dantai Qingrun, slightly resentful of Lu Qingshan’s underestimation, was imdiately convinced.
Indeed, after advancing to Void Refining and elevating from Slaughter Sword Intent to Destruction True Intent, Lu Qingshan’s Flying Swords had thoroughly broken through the hundred tis the speed of sound barrier of Sword Birth Thunder Fire.
And he did not achieve this through the aid of a Taoist Artifact.
Even the Peach Blossom, which was not a Taoist Artifact, had also reached the realm of Sword Birth Thunder Fire.
The Netherworld’s three Void Refining Cultivators consisted of two without Nascent Soul and one with a single Nascent Soul.
Such opponents, even if placed in front of Lu Qingshan when he was still in the Nascent Soul Stage, were considerably unimpressive, not to ntion now that he had reached Void Refining.
The battle seed sowhat lackluster as a result.
The two Nascent Soul-less Void Refining Cultivators, under the assault of Lu Qingshan’s Flying Swords, rely lasted ten breaths before turning into corpses.
As for the one with a single Nascent Soul, he managed to hold on a bit longer.
He conjured a thick Blood River around himself for protection; Lu Qingshan’s Flying Swords shot into it, much like bullets entering a swamp, significantly reducing their power.
But that was all it did.
After dealing with the two Nascent Soul-less Void Refining Cultivators, the three Flying Swords attacked simultaneously, and in an instant, the Blood River was broken, and then they pierced the one-Nascent Soul Cultivator into a sieve.
On the other side, Dantai Qingrun also acted decisively, with Sword Light flashing and thunder arcs spreading, surprisingly displaying a rare Sword Cultivator mass attack technique.
In terms of strength, although she was not a “monster” like Lu Qingshan, she certainly lived up to the na of a “Xiuchun” cultivator.
Lu Qingshan watched, nodding inwardly.
Dantai Qingrun used the Thunder Exploding Sword Technique.
Among Dharma Cultivation, the Thunder Spell was always revered, which shows the lethality of Thunder System Spells.
A great weapon already, the Flying Swords combined with the brutal power of Thunder Force….
Truly it’s like a sow wearing a brassiere, one technique after another, you can imagine how powerful it is.
Over here, since they had exposed their location, Dantai Qingrun no longer hid it; she unleashed her Divine Sense to sweep across the area, not wanting any to escape.
Suddenly, her gaze shifted.
Because at the edge of her Divine Sense’s maximum range, she sensed the lingering presence of a Void Refining Cultivator.
The number of Void Refining Cultivators within this branch of the Netherworld was not just three, but four!
Only, at the mont the mountain peak had shattered, one of them had charged others to push forward while he had chosen to conceal his presence and sneak away quietly.
Such decisiveness!
“There’s one that got away, let’s chase!” Dantai Qingrun urged urgently.
With the speed of a Sword Cultivator, they would likely be able to catch up.
Therefore, although she was anxious, she wasn’t panicked.
However, what she failed to notice was that, in the sky above, Lu Qingshan’s blazing red Flying Sword, after piercing through that single-Nascent Soul Void Refining Cultivator, did not wander back but instead rushed towards the area of the lingering presence of that Netherworld Void Refining Cultivator.
Due to the Flying Sword’s swift speed, it was already out of her line of sight within a few breaths.
“Don’t worry,” the urgent Dantai Qingrun turned to see Lu Qingshan with a casual expression, smiling at her, “Let the Flying Sword fly a bit.”
Dantai Qingrun was sowhat puzzled.
Boom!
The next instant, thundering sounds of the Flying Sword reached her ears.
A small red dot grew larger as it ca closer within her sight and gradually turned into a blazing fla.
Finally, when it was close enough, Dantai Qingrun saw that it was Lu Qingshan’s Flying Sword.
What was more shocking was that, skewered on the tip of the Flying Sword like a roasted kebab, was a Void Refining Cultivator with a distinctly seasoned face.
“See, it ca back, didn’t it?”
