Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 91 Crane Cry in the Sky
In the center of Baishazhou, water vapor obscured everything, turning the surrounding area within a mile into a hazy state.

Rumble, at some point, the ground shook, as if something was about to come out from the ground.

The next moment, fountains gushed out from the ground, and eight water columns as thick as wellheads and about a hundred meters long shot up into the sky. They were like whips, carrying tremendous force and lashing towards Jiang Chen.

Sensing this change, the breeze blew, and Jiang Chen was about to take off with the wind, but at this moment, Luo Qiao appeared. He stepped on the waves and rose to a high altitude, then threw down the magic weapon in his hand, the Hundred-Dense Net, like a fisherman on the river.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and there were many cut marks on his robes. It was obvious that he was injured after taking the Xuansha Finger head-on. However, he took advantage of that opportunity and used his own strong true energy to forcibly break free from the restraints.

Buzz, spiritual light bloomed, and a dense net covered the sky, instantly blocking Jiang Chen's escape route. At this moment, it was too late for him to change direction, because the eight huge water whips had already lashed over, and this was exactly the killer move that Luo Qiao prepared for Jiang Chen, the Eight Directions Water Prison.

Faced with this sudden change, many people present changed their expressions. Even those outside the field felt the horror of Luo Qiao's move. Even Liao Yonghuai's face showed surprise. He did not expect that Luo Qiao actually had such a move and hid it so deeply. At this moment, Jiang Chen remained calm.

Bang bang bang, the whip shadows were heavy, and each time it fell, it would leave deep marks on the ground. Even the rocks were easily broken, and Jiang Chen could only avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

"Jiang Chen, I don't know how good your swordsmanship is, but if you don't draw your sword now, you will have no chance."

Looking down at Jiang Chen whose moving space was getting smaller and smaller, Luo Qiao's eyes were full of grimness, but what greeted him was Jiang Chen's extremely calm gaze.

"as you wish."

With true energy surging throughout his body, Jiang Chen waved his sleeves.

The next moment, a white light suddenly appeared, swimming like a spirit fish, traveling in all directions. The eight water whips that were lashing out were instantly cut in half, extremely sharp. But this was not the end. As Jiang Chen pinched the magic formula, the sword light transformed by the Crane's Lie Immortal Needle was like a dragon emerging from the sea, pointing directly at Luoqiao.

Noticing this change, Luo Qiao's expression changed drastically.

With many years of experience in fighting, he almost instinctively wanted to retract the Hundred Secret Net, add magic, and protect himself, but at this moment, the sword light was bright, and the cry of a crane pierced through the clouds and spread throughout the Baishazhou. In a trance, everyone seemed to see a crane flapping its wings and taking off.

It has an elegant posture and a touch of elusive fairy air that makes people lose their minds unconsciously.

When he heard the cry of a crane, Luo Qiao suddenly became drowsy.

It was at this moment that the sword light transformed from the Crane's Lie Fairy Needle easily passed through the dense net and pierced Luo Qiao's protective true qi, like a dancing crane.

"Even a perfect plan can be flawed. If you keep playing it safe and proceed step by step, it will be more troublesome for me. At the very least, it will take more time."

Knowing that the outcome was certain, the murderous intent in Jiang Chen's heart began to subside, and at this time, Luo Qiao's consciousness finally got rid of the influence of He Li.

"What a fast sword! The name Feihong Sword Immortal is truly well-deserved..."

His consciousness became increasingly hazy, and Luo Qiao reluctantly lowered his gaze. At this moment, he looked no different from before, except for a red dot between his eyebrows.

“I lost…”

His vision blurred. At this moment, Luo Qiao saw Changfeng County, his former self, and his most valued disciple. When his disciple died and Yuling Sect was destroyed, he should have died. It was just the unwillingness and hatred in his heart that kept supporting him and made him dare not die.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

With a sense of relief and liberation, Luo Qiao's consciousness completely returned to darkness.

The next moment, the spell collapsed, and he fell headfirst from the waves.

With a light sigh, Jiang Chen flicked his sleeves and supported Luo Qiao's body with the breeze.

Seeing this scene, everyone on Baishazhou fell silent. Ordinary people were immersed in the beauty of the dancing cranes, while some people with means were afraid. The flash of sword seemed to be engraved in their hearts, making them feel a chill.

Affected by the cry of cranes, most of them didn't know how Luo Qiao died. It was as if they were in a trance. The Qigong immortal master who was showing his might just a moment ago had lost his breath and turned into a corpse. As a Qigong cultivator, Luo Qiao was like this. If it were them, they would probably die in unclear circumstances. How could they not be afraid?
"He actually killed a cultivator who had achieved minor success in Qi training with just one sword. What a sharp sword..."

In the center of the stands, seeing Luo Qiao fall like this, Liao Yonghuai couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Jiang Chen.

As the magistrate of Qinghe County, he was well aware of some of the actions of the Taiping Sect. It was also because of this that he scoffed at Jiang Chen's reputation as the Feihong Sword Immortal, thinking it was just bragging. But today he had to admit that Jiang Chen's sword was really good.

Seeing Jiang Chen chopping down Luo Qiao with one sword, Lu Xuanping couldn't help but be distracted. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he gave Jiang Chen the Explosive Qi Pill and asked Jiang Chen how confident he was about this fight, and Jiang Chen smiled without saying a word.

At that time, he thought that Jiang Chen was not very sure in his heart, just around fifty-fifty, so he could not say it clearly, but now thinking that it was an absolute confidence.

"Looking at this sword, it seems that Brother Dao did hold back when he fought against Third Uncle."

His thoughts were flying. At this moment, Lu Xuanping thought a lot, and at this time Jiang Chen had already collected Luo Qiao's body.

"The immortal path is lonely, and many corpses are buried..."

Feeling the internal energy being consumed, Jiang Chen glanced at everyone and lost interest in staying.

But just as he was about to leave, Lu Xuanping stood up for some unknown reason.

"Brother Dao, what is the name of this sword?"

Lu Xuanping spoke hurriedly with a hint of excitement.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment.

"The crane's cry reaches the sky."

Looking back at Lu Xuanping, Jiang Chen left four words and floated away. He had other things to do. As for the name He Li Jiu Xiao, it was just something he picked up casually.

"The cry of a crane reaches the sky, how fitting..."

Looking at Jiang Chen's departing figure and thinking of the sword that had made him lose his mind before, Lu Xuanping felt that this name was more suitable. When the cranes cried, the sword light flashed everywhere, and the enemies surrendered. It was really satisfying, and it was the style of a real sword immortal.

"Only then can one be a true sword immortal."

"With the Taiping Sect guarding the area and Immortal Master Jiang holding the sword, the people of Qinghe County are blessed."

Coming back to their senses, most of the people present were smiling with joy as they felt Jiang Chen's strength. With Jiang Chen's victory, the status of Taiping Sect became more stable, and they were naturally proud of it. The small thoughts of some people were also destroyed by Jiang Chen's sword, and now they could only smile and integrate into the big group.
