Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 263 Carrying My Sword Qi

On the riverbank, in a deserted wilderness.

In the darkness, spiritual energy and sword light flashed intertwined, and the sound of weapons clashing was accompanied by gusts of wind and explosions.

Rocks flew everywhere, and vegetation was destroyed.

Following a suppressed, heavy groan of pain, a figure in a green dress fell to the ground, scraping through the soil and rocks before crashing heavily into a large tree.

Ji Shaofu wiped the blood from her mouth, stomped her left foot, which she could still move, on the ground, rolled over twice, and narrowly avoided the hammer that was coming down hard.

Her face was covered in mud and blood. As she gasped for breath, the injuries inside her body caused her blood to rush to her head. She could only spit out a mouthful of blood and look at the two people walking towards her in the night.

The slender Lei carried two spiked iron hammers, while the slightly plump Yingzi held a strange magical artifact with a handle resembling a short knife.

What protruded from the handle was not a sharp blade, but four constantly wriggling tentacles.

Seeing that Ji Shaofu's spiritual energy was depleted and her body was covered in injuries, and that she finally had no power to resist, Lei licked his lips and looked at his companion beside him: "Wife, let me play with her first, and then I'll go find my brother and the others, okay?"

Yingzi's round face showed a hint of disdain: "You're just a lustful bastard."

But it didn't say it was impossible.

Ji Shaofu heard it clearly, but her expression did not change; she simply gripped the sword in her hand even tighter.

She stepped ashore from the river and realized something was wrong as soon as she saw two people chasing after her.

Especially considering that these two are highly skilled, Ji Shaofu might be able to hold her own against either one, and could fight against both of them. With her strength, which was only recently broken through to the next realm, she simply couldn't keep up.

If these two are already like this, then their so-called "elder brother" must be even more powerful. Pei Xia's side is probably already...

It's all my fault for not being able to calmly handle the situation in my panic.

Regret is useless now. If these two insist on insulting us, we shall fight them to the death!

"and many more."

Just as the cultivator surnamed Lei was drooling as he walked towards Ji Shaofu, Yingzi suddenly spoke up: "Shouldn't my elder brother and the others have arrived already?"

It would have been better if they hadn't mentioned it, because once the matter was brought up, both of them began to have doubts.

Logically speaking, they should have killed someone at the Transcendent Realm long ago, since they were dealing with someone at the Profound Realm.

Just as they were hesitating, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark night, and a square jade box was thrown towards them.

Lei was startled and raised his hammer to strike, but Yingzi, who was standing nearby, quickly shouted, "No!"

Then, he infused the magical artifact in his hand with spiritual power, and the tentacles immediately grew larger, transforming into four flexible long arms that wrapped around the jade box in mid-air.

She recalled that her employers had told them that the box originally contained the target for this mission, and that it should not be destroyed lightly just in case.

"Prepare the surroundings!" Yingzi shouted.

Despite their lustful nature, when it comes to real fighting, this group's inherently dangerous and ruthless nature is revealed.

A hammer belonging to the man surnamed Lei landed at his feet. He then lifted the hammer up horizontally, scanning his surroundings with his spiritual senses on high alert.

Yingzi put the jade box back into her bosom and carefully opened it to take a look.

Inside were two glowing talismans.

"not good!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "boom" was heard.

The talisman exploded, the jade box shattered, and the spiritual energy surged, sending both of them flying.

Ji Shaofu, who was standing to the side, was confused and staring blankly when a hand reached out from the darkness, grabbed her arm, and pulled her outside.

Ji Shaofu turned around in surprise and saw Pei Xia, who was soaking wet, gesturing for her to be quiet.

He's not dead!
Ji Shaofu was overjoyed.

Pei Xia pulled Ji Shaofu out of her arms and tried to run away.

But to my surprise, a whistling sound came from behind, the sound of a heavy object hurtling through the air.

He turned around and saw that it was a hammer that was being swung at him.

Experienced fighters are tough to deal with. Although the fire talisman in the box was already quite abrupt, at the last second, the two of them still managed to activate their protective aura.

Damn it, if I wasn't worried about the spiritual energy traces being too strong and being detected in advance, I would have stuffed at least five of them in and blown you all up!
Holding Ji Shaofu, Pei Xia could only leap to the side. Although she avoided the heavy hammer, she still rolled away when she hit the ground.

"Ptooey, ptooey!" Pei Xia spat out two mouthfuls of mud.

Upon seeing that Pei Xia was still alive, Ji Shaofu seemed to have a renewed fighting spirit.

Despite her severe injuries, she used her sword to support herself and slowly managed to stand up again.

"You shouldn't have come back..."

She gasped for breath, glaring fiercely at Pei Xia: "Leave now, I'll buy you some time!"

In the forest, several thick tentacles parted the trees, and the slender cultivator surnamed Lei charged over, wielding an iron hammer.

Ji Shaofu took a deep breath and gathered all her strength.

Within her spiritual realm, there was another trump card, the very opportunity that triggered her breakthrough—that sword energy that pierced through the air.

However, this sword energy was too domineering. After breaking through the realm, she tried to control it several times, but she could not control it. Instead, it was very easy to injure her internal organs, so she never used it.

However, there is no other way at the moment.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she shouted sharply, "I have a sword!"

A subtle sharpness emanated from her sword. Then, the next second, her eyes rolled back, and she suddenly collapsed to the ground.

With a clang, the sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

The two, who were initially startled by Ji Shaofu's sudden burst of energy, quickly regained their senses.

Good woman, at least she has some backbone.

Lei glanced at Ji Shaofu, then at Pei Xia, narrowed his eyes, and instead of rushing forward, asked, "Kid, where are my older brother and the others?"

Pei Xia raised her head and looked back at the river she had come from.

The night was deep, the river was vast, and nothing could be seen.

"Honestly, I don't know either." After diving underwater, Pei Xia rushed towards Ji Shaofu with all her might.

If the fight continues, Jin and Liang will likely be unable to defeat Pei Xia, but the difficulty lies in the fact that Ji Shaofu will definitely be able to hold out for a shorter time than they are.

That's why Pei Xia rushed over as quickly as possible, not wanting to linger in the fight, but wanting to take Ji Shaofu away to avoid being in a predicament of fighting four against one.

But for some reason, Jin and Liang showed no sign of catching up.

Pei Xia glanced at the man and woman, and her thoughts slowly began to change.

Well, in this situation, the roles of offense and defense have changed.

Lei stepped forward and picked up Ji Shaofu's sword.

"Heh, what kind of genius founder of the Long Whale Sect? His sword is just some oddity, how much is it worth?" He held his sword horizontally, flicking his finger as if to tap the blade. "Kid, if you know what's good for you, answer my questions... Hiss!"

He flicked his finger, but unexpectedly, the sword, though seemingly ordinary...

But deep within was a hidden sword aura, which, even though it was concealed, easily pierced through his protective qi and cut through his flesh.

A sudden, excruciating pain caused him to drop his sword.

"You can't use this sword, I'll do it."

Pei Xia patted the dirt off her clothes, walked over in front of the man surnamed Lei, and picked up Ji Shaofu's sword from the ground.

Following the opponent's previous action, Pei Xia flicked her finger across the sword, and then lightly flicked it at the tip.

A soft "ding" sounded.

Half a breath later, it transformed into a clear and melodious sword chant, sweeping across the land!

As the sound of the sword passed, the long tentacles fearfully retreated back into the short sword. The spiritual energy that the two relied on seemed to be blocked in an instant, and the meridians in their bodies felt as if someone had choked them!
The sword energy possessed by Ji Shaofu is not the sword energy manifested by Pei Xia's spiritual energy within the inner cauldron.

It was the Martial Unique Sword Qi that shot through the air when he broke through the Long Whale Gate!
Although the traces of Wu Du within him were already very faint.

But when the sword's cry resonates, the martial pressure that disregards all laws remains as heavy as a mountain!

Yingzi immediately realized something was wrong and shouted sharply at her husband, "Retreat!"

However, with Lei so close to Pei Xia and his spiritual energy stagnating, how could he possibly escape?

Seeing Pei Xia approaching him with her sword, the skinny man gritted his teeth, turned around with all his might, twisted his ape-like arm, and swung the only iron hammer in his hand at Yingzi.

There was no spiritual power in the hammer. Although it was heavy, it was not difficult for a cultivator at the Opening Mansion Realm to withstand.

Using the force of the swing, the hammer rammed into Yingzi's body, sending her flying out of the woods.

"Old Lei—"

Before the shout had even finished...

In the darkness, the dazzling sword light obscured all vision!

Mountains and rocks, land and soil, are like paper cutters!
Lei, who had fought and trained diligently in the martial world for many years, never imagined that in the final moment of life and death, all his cultivation would seem to have betrayed him.

Before the sword light, Lingfu was so afraid that he was unwilling to let out a single trace of spiritual power.

A sword passed by.

The head is in a different place!

As the head rolled away, Pei Xiayuan watched the remaining aura of Wu Du slowly dissipate. As he let out a long breath, the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

He released the longsword, revealing his palm covered in fine, intricate sword marks and notches.

He first glanced at Ji Shaofu, who was unconscious behind him. He really didn't expect that the reason why this martial aunt broke through not long after him was because she caught up with the sword energy when he broke through, which helped her shatter the inner cauldron.

Then he looked at the Lei family's chief minister, who was already dead on the ground.

He rubbed his chin and sighed inwardly. He had previously thought that Ji Shaofu was making a mountain out of a molehill, but little did he know that the novel was indeed true.

This group of people is powerful and experienced; it's unclear who sent them.

It's a pity one of them escaped; otherwise, capturing him alive would have provided more clues.

On another note, why did those two on the river suddenly disappear without a trace?
For no particular reason, they were repairing the ship.

On the river far in the distance, a man with an open shirt was leaning against the railing, drinking, his brows slightly furrowed.

He looked up at the riverbank.

The sudden surge of sharpness could not escape his perception, but... how could it be sword energy?
When he was at Su Baozhai, he felt a very familiar aura from him. Although it had been decades since they last met, there was no way he could mistake it for someone else.

Could it be that I really misjudged him? This kid isn't actually mine...?

Junior brother?
