A terrifying explosion spread out, and dust flew in all directions, covering the sky and the sun. The energy fluctuations produced even caused space to distort.
The old man looked at the scene in front of him. Ye Xuan’s figure was swallowed by the dust instantly. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth fiercely. “Even if you have nine lives, you won’t be able to escape this.”
The old man’s face turned pale as he felt an overwhelming pain in his meridians, “What a terrifying sword qi.”
He could only temporarily use his spiritual power to seal his eight extraordinary meridians as he staggered back to the Dao Seeking Sect.
When the old man returned to the sect, the other disciples were shocked to see his pale face.
“Great elder, are you alright? What happened?”
No one had ever seen the great elder suffer such a severe injury. The bloody hole in his palm was even more shocking. It had never happened before.
“I’m fine. I wanted to snatch the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, but an accident happened halfway.”
The great elder could feel the sword qi flowing in his body. He could only feel a fishy smell rolling in his throat, and his expression became even gloomier. “This time, I failed miserably. I underestimated that kid.”
The wound on his hand still could not be healed, and he could not discharge the sword qi in his body. The sword qi was also flowing in his veins and breaking through the seal set by his spiritual energy, which showed its great power.
The old man’s expression turned ugly. He was also trapped by the sword qi and could not find a solution for the time being.
When the others heard this, they were even more surprised. The great elder was so powerful that someone could injure him. It was really beyond everyone’s expectations. “Where’s the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram?”
“I probably destroyed the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. If our Dao Seeking Sect can’t get it, then no one else can.”
He had used almost all of his strength in the last attack. The kid was only at human rank level two, so he could not resist it. The Hetu and Luoshu Diagram should have been destroyed in the explosion.
The others showed a look of pity.
“It’s a pity we could not have the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.”
“That’s still better than letting it falls into the hands of other sects.”
The sword qi was flowing inside the great elder’s body, and he was in great pain. “I need to go into seclusion for a while. You guys should pay more attention to the movements of the other sects.”
After saying this, he began to go into seclusion. He had to expel the sword qi as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would cause irreparable damage to the foundation of his meridians.
On the other side.
Mo Jianming, who was preparing to head to Jingdu Auction House, suddenly stopped. His gaze fell in the northwest direction, and he said in surprise, “What a powerful sword qi. Who is this expert?”
If it was someone else, they might have overlooked this. However, Mo Jianming was a sword cultivator with unfathomable strength. His attainments in the sword way were also quite high, so he was naturally sensitive to sword qi.
After a short hesitation, he decided to change direction and come to the suburbs of Jingdu. He looked around, but there was no one. There were only faint fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air.
Mo Jianming’s brows furrowed. The scene here was completely different from what he had imagined. He initially thought a great battle happened here, but it did not seem so.
Everything was too calm. In fact, it was a little abnormal.
“Strange. Why didn’t the sword qi leave any marks despite being so powerful?”
Mo Jianming closed his eyes and felt the sword qi in the air that had yet to dissipate. The more he came into contact with it, the more he realized that this sword qi was unfathomable and far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Logically speaking, this really should not have happened.
Mo Jianming sighed with emotion. “I thought I’d already reached the peak of swordsmanship, but I do not expect that there are more powerful people in this world.”
A sharp pain came from his incomplete divine sense, so Mo Jianming hurriedly withdrew from it.
“This sword qi is truly too domineering. The remaining power is not dissipating. When did such an expert appear in the capital? I didn’t sense anything.”
What bugged him the most was the domineering sword qi. There was no trace of the sword user. Could it be that someone could emit sword qi out of thin air? It was very bizarre.
“If there’s a chance, I would like to get to know them.”
Sword Sect was the only one with the best achievements in sword techniques among the seven great sects.
Mo Jianming followed the direction where the sword qi was left behind. It was a coincidence that he found a person in the ditch a hundred meters away.
“What?”
Mo Jianming was astonished and checked his breath. “He’s still alive even after suffering such a serious injury.”
This person was Ye Xuan. The great elder of the Dao Seeking Sect would never have thought he was still alive. Other people would have been reduced to dust after the attack.
Ye Xuan’s body had been modified by the system. He had a sturdy physique. With the help of a supreme-grade defensive artifact, he had resisted fatal injuries, so he had survived.
Mo Jianming could feel a strong spiritual power fluctuation from this person. Most importantly, he was only at human rank level 2. Not only did he have a strange sword qi, but he also had a powerful spiritual power fluctuation.
“He should have fought with a sky rank powerhouse before.”
Mo Jianming was instantly shocked by his own speculation. The sky rank cultivator was way stronger than the human rank cultivator. How could this person still be alive if he was attacked by a sky rank powerhouse? He should not be able to resist half a move.
“What exactly happened?”
However, those auras were not fake, not to mention that strange sword qi. Mo Jianming found it unbelievable. Seeing Ye Xuan’s weak aura, he hesitated for a moment.
“Forget it. It’s fate that allows us to meet here. I take it that you are not supposed to die today.”
