Chapter 973: Chapter 637: It Seems Like We've Done Something Wrong Chapter 973: Chapter 637: It Seems Like We've Done Something Wrong The night was dense with darkness, not a single star in sight.
The world around them lay submerged in shadow, the cold wind rising in concert with the man's breathing.
As the Sect Master of Jade Dragon Treasure Land, at the moment his murderous intent surged, the entire Treasure Land seemed to harbor malice towards the small courtyard.
Nearby Array Plates trembled slowly, the Great Formation, initially meant to monitor these outsiders, now also concealed the presence of two figures outside the yard.
Inside the silent house.
The candlelight flickered slightly, reflecting Ye Jing's pretty face.
In the Bronze Mirror, the expression on that face quickly faded, equally expressionless but without the previous dullness, instead, acquiring an edge of sharpness.
She stared quietly at the Bronze Mirror, the next moment, her fingers were suspended above the tabletop.
In an instant, the sword on the table transformed into two streaks of light, the sword swept into her palm, while the scabbard split into six, flying and weaving around Shen Yi, enveloping him in protection.
“Do not come out.”
Ye Jing seemed like a different person, her voice calm.
Even without Meng Xiuwen, she was perfectly capable of handling things on her own.
The woman rose unhurriedly, her green skirt fluttering, her long sleeves rolling up as the Immortal Sword thrust straight out.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, a large, stout bear paw burst through half of a wall, brazenly grabbing inside!
The Bear Demon seemed not to have anticipated that the person inside was already reacting; surprised, it quickly switched from a grab to a slam, its palm erupting in a scarlet red, like a roaring blood sea, a display of demonic power concentrated to the extreme!
At first strike, it demonstrated strength not inferior to that of a True Immortal.
How could an evil being in the Mortal Realm possess such power, and within that seemingly brute slam, it contained a hint of profound mystery, clearly a creature from beneath an Immortal's seat!
However, Ye Jing's face remained unchanged, her sword tip unwavering, aiming straight at the bear paw.
At the moment of contact, the scarlet blood sea roared, attempting to engulf the Three-foot Green Peak, but the burst of white light from the tip of the sword, like thunder, shattered the blood sea, tearing through the dark night, lighting up the entire Inner Sect of the Jade Dragon Sect like daylight!
Hiss!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through thick hide rang out, accompanied by the beast's growl.
The Bear Demon instantly withdrew its right paw, clutching it to its chest, its eyes filled with shock and uncertainty as it looked inside: “Who is your master, and which Immortal's lineage do you follow?”
To think that such a realm of Cultivator was hidden within the small Jianyang Prefecture.
Ye Jing stood with her sword, showing no intention of responding.
She merely glanced at Shen Yi, noting that even in the face of such a sudden event, he did not panic but stared quietly at a certain spot.
Not bad.
Although she didn't know what Shen Yi was considering, as long as he didn't wander off, that was fine.
Assuring that her scabbards had protected him well, Ye Jing turned her gaze back to the Bear Demon.
For this Demonic Beast to strike within the Jade Dragon Sect, it certainly had the approval of the Yulong Ancestor, which meant she had to face the existence of two True Immortals at the same time.
She wasn't afraid, only concerned that a drawn-out battle might lead to some mishap befalling her new colleague.
She had to fight quickly and decisively, to slay one first.
Once more, her sword's edge brightened, greatly illuminating the heavens and earth.
The woman's subtle movements caught the Black Bear's eye; it stood halfway up, shaking the blood plasma from the palm of its hand: “If you're unwilling to speak, fine, this Lord doesn't wish to listen.”
With these words, it stomped heavily, causing even the contiguous mountains beneath it to tremble.
“What just happened doesn't count, let's go again!”
The Black Bear took up its stance, demonic power sweeping out, spreading from beneath its feet like a spiderweb, forming a vast and strange pattern on the ground.
By comparison, Ye Jing's response seemed rather plain; she simply stepped forward, the ground's blood patterns twisting toward her like massive serpents, only to shatter neatly upon touching the hem of her garment!
Her tall figure leapt into the air, her long sword thrusting out a second time.
The Bear Demon, set in its stance, felt as if its eyes were about to be pierced by the sharp edge, breathing even more heavily. The blood patterns rose from the ground, instantly shattered by the light of the sword, but they managed to slightly slow Ye Jing's motion.
Using the blood patterns to its advantage, the Bear Demon's massive form instantaneously appeared elsewhere, a grin spreading across its face: “Take a look behind you!”
Sword Cultivators loathed losing their unstoppable momentum.
But Ye Jing indeed had no experience in protecting others; she had always followed Meng Xiuwen and, without him, she only needed to attend to her own tasks.
This was a first.
Again, she slashed through several blood patterns, unable to resist looking back.
From behind, in the night sky, suddenly there was the sound of dragon chanting.
Like a Jade Dragon bursting forth from the Black Sea, it had been devouring nature's spiritual energy from the beginning, readying its formidable power.
Now charging towards her, with an unstoppable momentum, it was an overwhelming force that no mortal could counter!
Aaah!
The Jade Dragon did not strike at Ye Jing; instead, it targeted the six sword scabbards.
According to the report from the Outer Sect Elders, among these three individuals, the boy leading the horse held the highest status.
And Ye Jing's actions just now, whether it was her initial distraction in protection or the fleeting glance during the fight, only served to convince the Yulong Ancestor even more of this fact.
“Try to avoid it.”
With just a glance, Ye Jing had already judged that her sword scabbards could not stop this Jade Dragon.
She turned resolutely to defend, exposing her back to the Bear Demon.
Even if she were to take a heavy blow, she would most likely still come out on top.
Once engaged in combat, Ye Jing's mind carefully calculated the whole process, quickly reaching a conclusion in a very short time.
From beginning to end, she never considered whether it was necessary to rescue her new colleague.
