Chapter 244 Sword Suppresses the First Rank

what?
Everyone present was shocked. This meant that the elder Jin was dead.
Who was the person who kept talking?

"not good!"

Suddenly, Zhou Weihua exclaimed, "That power is devouring the vital energy within my body!"

"Me too, I can't use my internal energy anymore..."

"Oh no, we've been ambushed..."

"Jin Yutang, we have no grudge against you, why did you try to ambush us?"

"..."

Various exclamations and curses rang out.

Clearly, apart from Chen Ming and Yu Haitang, everyone else had been affected. They sat cross-legged, suppressing the alien power within their bodies, and were no longer able to fight.

"So this was the trap."

Chen Ming felt a sense of relief, as if the second shoe had finally dropped.

It must be said that the person behind this is indeed insidious, actually using the power that overflows after the death of a Divine Realm expert to do something.

The remaining power of this Divine Realm expert will also devour the martial artist's vital energy.

Those who are unaware of the situation can easily fall into the trap.

However, he couldn't understand why Jin Yutang would pull such a stunt. None of the people present were from the six major powers, so even if they all died here, it wouldn't harm the six major powers in the slightest.

Instead, it gave the six major powers a reason to directly destroy Jin Yutang and then divide the spoils among themselves.

What is the point of doing this?
After a moment, a voice rang out, "As expected of the eldest daughter of the Yu family, she knows so much."

This time, the other party no longer pretended; it was the voice of a young man.

With a splash, a black figure flew out of the pool and landed on the shore. This person had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes; a truly handsome young man. Only his eyes held a hint of crimson.

Chen Ming immediately understood and said in a deep voice, "Blood Demon Technique? Who exactly are you?"

The young man glanced at her with some surprise and smiled, "Young lady, you have good insight. You were able to tell at a glance that I possess the Blood Demon Technique."

"Let me introduce myself. I am Jin Yu, his only direct grandson. This scheme was set up by me. My purpose is, of course, to refine you into human pills and use you as resources for my cultivation. Who told you to be so greedy, wanting my grandfather's inheritance and even trying to devour Jin Yutang? You're dreaming."

At this, Zhou Weihua and the others turned deathly pale. Being refined into a human pill by the Blood Demon Sect was the most terrifying way to die.

"Miss Yu, Miss Yuan, we're counting on you now."

"You must save us! Once we get out of here, I will repay you handsomely..."

"..."

Yu Haitang ignored these people and said indifferently, "You're only using these people to refine into human pills to break through to the Divine Treasure Realm, right? I guess you'll also refine your grandfather's corpse to break through to the Divine Treasure Realm."

clap clap clap...

Jin Yu clapped his hands and said with admiration, "You understand me best, Miss Yu."

At this point, his expression shifted, and his smile widened. "I'm waiting for someone. I wonder what you two ladies are waiting for?"

With a whooshing sound, three figures flew in from behind the passage.

All three had bloodshot eyes, clearly indicating they were from the Blood Demon Sect.

When Chen Ming saw one of them, he almost lost his composure. Why was he everywhere?

Among those three people was his old friend, Deng Ziyang. At this moment, his demeanor was quite different from before, indicating that he had broken through to the third rank.

However, he was still following behind the other two men in black, seemingly still working as someone else's henchman.

Although he possessed the Blood Demon Pearl, he was not as ruthless as other Blood Demon Sect disciples, so his cultivation growth was naturally slower than theirs.

Chen Ming was quite relieved to see that his old friend was safe and sound.

To be honest, he was quite worried that Deng Ziyang would be killed by those forces while in the Fire Element Space.

The leader of the men in black looked at the two women before him, his eyes lighting up. "They are both stunning beauties, truly like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own unique charm. These two are mine to handle."

As he spoke, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

"It's actually a first-grade item!"

Tian Qidong looked utterly desperate. He was exceptionally talented and the future hope of the Tian family. He wanted to reach the first rank within ten years, and he also wanted to reach the Divine Treasure Realm. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be refined into a human pill.

"Jin Yu, you'll die a horrible death!"

"I don't want to die..."

"..."

Faced with death, these young martial arts prodigies were filled with resentment, despair, and hatred...

"Noisy!"

Yu Haitang snorted coldly, about to make a move.

"Miss Yu, please wait."

Suddenly, the woman in black beside her spoke up, "Give this man to me, you can cover for me for now."

Oh?
Yu Haitang became interested and wanted to know what amazing methods she had that gave her the confidence to rival a first-rank expert, so she said, "Okay."

Then she stepped aside and glanced at the other three. She lingered on Deng Ziyang for a moment longer.

……

The man in black also became interested. "Young lady, you seem quite confident. I'd like to see what you've got that makes you so sure you can fight me?"

"A mere Rank One dares to be so arrogant, calling himself 'This Lord'?" Chen Ming found it somewhat amusing. If he remembered correctly, the Blood Demon Sect had already produced a Divine Treasure Realm expert. Then, he said to Jin Yu, "Didn't you just ask me what I was waiting for? Look—"

As he reached out, the sword stuck in the pool trembled, transformed into a stream of light, and flew into his hand on its own.

Jin Yu's smile froze, his pupils contracted, "This—how...is this possible?"

That was his grandfather's sword, the peerless divine weapon "Taiyue Sword".

The divine weapon possessed a spirit, and after his grandfather died, the sword dared not acknowledge him as its master. Especially after he cultivated the "Blood Demon Technique," he dared not even get too close, otherwise the "Taiyue Sword" would issue a warning.

He originally intended to wait until he had absorbed his grandfather's cultivation and broken through to the Divine Realm before taming this divine weapon.

Who would have thought that the "Taiyue Sword" would choose its own master? How could he not be surprised?
Not only him, but the man in black was also somewhat shocked. The relaxed look on his face disappeared, and he became somewhat solemn.

"what?"

Yu Haitang was equally astonished. She hadn't expected that she possessed such a skill, allowing a divine weapon to choose its own master. She was truly remarkable.

Could it be that the cultivation technique she practices is extremely compatible with this "Taiyue Sword"?
Logically speaking, peerless divine weapons rarely choose martial artists below the Divine Treasure Realm, because those below the Divine Treasure Realm cannot unleash their full power.

If real danger is encountered, the divine weapon's essence will also be consumed.

Only when encountering a special physique and practicing a cultivation method of the same origin is it possible for it to actively choose a master.

Yu Haitang felt that this woman was becoming increasingly mysterious.

……

While they were chatting, Chen Ming used the ninth level of the "Weapon Control Technique" to communicate with the divine weapon in the pool from a distance.

Finally, the divine weapon's spirit could not resist the temptation of the ninth level of the "Weapon Nourishing Technique" and willingly threw itself into his arms.

A divine weapon can only unleash its full power when it is in the hands of its master.

The spirit, being sentient, sensed that this person would be of great benefit to it. Although it was not yet intelligent enough to determine what was about this person that attracted it, it still made its choice.

Compared to the power of its former master's bloodline that it instinctively loathed, it was naturally better to choose someone it felt close to as its master.

Chen Ming slowly drew his sword, feeling the immense power within the sword spirit, and his heart filled with joy.

I finally got it!

The magnificent scabbard bears the inscription "Taiyue" in ancient seal script, which must be the name of the sword.

The Taiyue Sword is indeed imposing.

He said with great enthusiasm, "Today, I'll test the sharpness of the Taiyue Sword on you."

"Insanity."

The man in black sneered, "You, a mere second-rank cultivator, really think you can rival me just because you possess a peerless divine weapon? You underestimate me far too much—"

brush!
Before she could finish speaking, the woman in black suddenly vanished from the spot.

not good!

He only felt a flash of sword light appear before his eyes, less than a foot above his head, as if it had appeared out of thin air.

That terrifying sharpness instantly sliced ​​through his protective aura.

What kind of movement is this?
The man in black was terrified, and his internal energy suddenly exploded.

Those present felt a terrifying force sweep over them, their expressions changed drastically, and they retreated abruptly.

Those young geniuses who were unable to move by the pool could only endure the blow, and all of them vomited blood on the spot.

These people cursed inwardly. Wasn't it said that a first-grade expert could perfectly control the power of Qi and would never waste it? How could there be such an astonishing aftershock of the battle?

……

"That movement technique—"

Yu Haitang's gaze turned serious. This woman's movement technique was truly terrifying. Combined with a peerless divine weapon that could easily break through the protective aura, she forced the Blood Demon Sect's first-rank cultivator to resort to indiscriminate attacks with just one sword strike.

If the man in black had reacted any slower, he would probably have died on the spot.

Such agility is not only unheard of, but also unheard of.

However, I feel there's something familiar about this movement technique...

Whoosh!
The woman in black flashed again, appearing behind the man in black once more, and slashed down with her sword.

This time, the Blood Demon Sect's first-rank disciple was on guard and was not as disheveled as before. He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, sending a burst of energy flying out and causing a section of the cave ceiling to collapse, with many rocks falling down.

This palm strike, of course, missed its mark.

The woman in black had already appeared on the other side and thrust out her sword again.

The crowd witnessed an utterly absurd scene: a second-rank expert was actually dominating a first-rank expert, who was almost powerless to fight back and could only passively retaliate.

Even those third-rank soldiers who were seriously injured were dumbfounded.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it was real.

A second-rank fighter against a first-rank fighter still held an absolute advantage.

Even for a second-rank official wielding a peerless divine weapon, it is still incredibly incredible.

The other three members of the Blood Demon Sect were completely in a daze, as if they were in a dream.

Jin Yu, Deng Ziyang, and the unnamed second-rank official all stared blankly, incredulous.
