Chapter 489: Ambush Against Everyone, In Grave Danger! (Part 1)
2024-11-24
No matter who the target was, this attack had to be blocked, or there would be no chance of escape.
Creak.
Qin Yu gritted his teeth.
He regretted it a little.
If he had known he would face such a crisis, he would have gone to the Reverse Central Realm first!
The Piercing Finger swept away, the strongest strike of the Shooting Star Finger Technique, and one of his strongest offensive moves. However, he felt no sense of security at all.
Thirteenth Stage!
And not just any Thirteenth Stage, but a strong Thirteenth Stage cultivator. Could he block it?
Boom!
As expected.
Despite his best efforts, he still couldn’t block the attack, only managing to hold it off for a brief moment.
It was during this brief moment that Little Black, who had barely recovered with the help of an 'Immortal Pill,' grabbed Qin Yu and Xu Feng Lai with his two claws and fled at top speed.
Little Black was a 'flying bird.'
And an unusual one at that, with extremely fast speed.
Once he sped up, he was much faster than Qin Yu and Xu Feng Lai.
Thus, when Little Black’s black feathers cut through layers of mist and he ran at full speed, Qin Yu and Xu Feng Lai both breathed a sigh of relief.
"May they be damned."
Xu Feng Lai cursed, "Fortunately, there were the pills prepared by Senior Sister. Otherwise, we might have perished here today."
"Peaceful Tower, I trusted the wrong person!"
Qin Yu smiled bitterly, "The fault doesn’t lie with Peaceful Tower or the innkeeper. The opponent is too strong. He is fighting with his life, but the gap in strength is too large. There’s nothing we can do."
"That’s true."
Xu Feng Lai frowned, "But I wonder why the Immortal Palace would suddenly target a small place like Peaceful Tower."
"No, it’s not about Peaceful Tower. They are too arrogant, not putting anyone in their eyes. They just want to kill someone in Peaceful Tower and don’t care about the rest, striking without discrimination."
"Immortal Palace..."
"I’ll remember this."
Xu Feng Lai gritted his teeth.
He was someone who held grudges.
Swish!
Little Black threw them onto his back with his feet, without any hesitation, and sped up even more.
The Thirteenth Stage existence from the Immortal Palace followed behind at a leisurely pace, like a stroll in a garden, yet he never fell behind.
Qin Yu glanced back and saw the pursuer following at a steady pace, which made his heart sink, "I fear things aren’t that simple."
"He..."
"Is likely coming for us."
"?!?"
"What?"
Xu Feng Lai was startled, "Coming for us? Who?"
"We’ve always been low-key in the Immortal World, never actively provoking anyone or making enemies. How could we have angered someone from the Immortal Palace?"
"I don’t know," Qin Yu shook his head, "But he has been following us. I can’t think of any other possibility."
"I can’t hold out for long."
Little Black said at this moment, "I’m using a secret technique to increase my speed, barely managing to create some distance, but he’s so relaxed. If this continues, he will catch up."
"..."
Qin Yu frowned and asked, "Should we split up and run?"
"Fine," Xu Feng Lai said gravely, "Though we don’t know why the Immortal Palace is after us, this message must be sent back."
"Whoever escapes must take the message back and inform the venerable master and the other disciples. They must be on alert and not let their guard down."
"..."
"Fine!"
Qin Yu nodded, "If so, I’ll draw him away. I hope... his target is me."
"I think his target is me," Xu Feng Lai smiled, "And my personality is more likely to attract enmity than yours."
"Uncertain, but I suddenly feel he might be from the Divine Realm..."
"In any case, let’s split up."
"Fine!"
Xu Feng Lai immediately dashed off Little Black’s back, merging with his sword and vanishing into the distance.
They parted ways.
The pursuer behind them continued to follow Qin Yu without haste.
Xu Feng Lai soon ran out of the 'Divine Sense' range of the pursuer. Seeing that the pursuer wasn’t chasing him, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, "Damn it."
"Is the target Senior Brother?"
"How hateful!"
"Oh?"
At this moment, Xu Feng Lai suddenly felt his hair stand on end!
Behind him, a voice as if right next to his ear suddenly said, "No one is chasing you, and you’re still unhappy?"
"Since that’s the case, why not fulfill your wish?"
Boom!
A powerful aura no weaker than the Immortal Palace pursuer’s suddenly appeared, striking at Xu Feng Lai.
Xu Feng Lai suddenly turned around, his expression changing drastically.
"Clone?!"
"No, this isn’t a clone."
"You..."
"Brother?!"
"You have some discernment," the other party chuckled, "But this is indeed rather dull. I wanted to play with you, toying with you in the palm of my hand, and then kill you when you were filled with fear. But I didn’t expect..."
"Fine, since that’s the case, die."
"Even if it’s not perfect, two mere Tenth Stage cultivators aren’t worth much of our time."
"You..."
Xu Feng Lai’s face turned ashen, he stopped and straightened his back, "Indeed, you’re after us."
"Why?!"
"Why?"
The other party slowly raised his hand, pointing at Xu Feng Lai, and said casually, "We act without reason."
"Since we are killing you, it means you..."
"Deserve to die."
Boom!
A single finger pointed out, as if all the principles of the world converged, forming an arrow that could destroy anything, instantly piercing through the air and shooting at Xu Feng Lai.
"Do you deserve to die?"
Xu Feng Lai said coldly, "But what are you? Do you have the right to decide the life and death of others?"
"I see, you deserve to die!"
"Sword... Thirteen!"
Boom!
He struck out with all his might.
He was the only 'sword cultivator' among all his fellow disciples!
Of course, except for San Ye.
As a sword cultivator, he had the deepest understanding of various sword principles, even successfully mastering the Ethereal Sword Technique, Sword Thirteen.
At this moment, he forcefully unleashed Sword Thirteen, pushing everything to the extreme.
The boundless clouds and mist became swords, the vast yellow sands became swords, the azure sky became swords, and the heavy nine earths became swords...
Wherever his gaze landed, ethereal sword intent filled the air!
"All things become swords!"
With a loud roar, countless ethereal sword intents converged, transforming into a giant sword that slashed through the air repeatedly.
The giant sword was so immense that it was difficult to measure with the naked eye.
Various colors were categorized and controlled by the ethereal sword intent, slashing towards the opponent from all directions in an endless frenzy.
"Sword Twenty-Three!"
Although Sword Thirteen was powerful, Xu Feng Lai was well aware that this sword would not be enough to defeat his opponent. Thus, he did not hesitate for a moment, even enduring the backlash, as he desperately added another sword technique, the Sword Saint's Sword Twenty-Three, to his repertoire.
He pushed the Twelve Flying Swords to their limits, each sword displaying its unique technique and forming a sword formation, simultaneously attacking the opponent.
"Oh?"
"You, who made your move inside the Peaceful Tower, still have some strength left?"
The opponent was surprised.
But it was merely a moment of surprise.
His finger moved like a bamboo shoot, gathering thousands of sword intents, erasing everything in its path! Although it was momentarily frozen by Sword Twenty-Three, the countless giant swords that seemed to want to slash open the heavens were shattered into nothingness.
Facing the incoming sword formation, he took a step forward, his toes tapping on the space.

```
"Is that all?"
He chuckled lightly, "Can you continue dancing?"
Xu Feng Lai's throat tightened, and he did not respond. Instead, he forcibly swallowed the blood that flowed backward due to the backlash, his gaze shining like stars. The Great Yellow Palace's golden light enveloped him completely.
"Sword Two, Sun, Moon, and Stars."
He truly unleashed his full power, even using the Three Leaves Sword Technique.
Although he had only recently grasped this sword technique, the Sword of Sun, Moon, and Stars still made his opponent take notice.
"Hmm?"
"Such an astonishing sword technique, unheard of across the Three Thousand Continents. If you were at the same level as me, even I would need to exert some effort to block it."
"Unfortunately, you are not."
The opponent took the initiative to strike.
With a punch, the space shattered, and the countless sword auras in the sky were swept away.
"Enough."
"The time is almost up."
"If this drags on, people might laugh at us. I can see that you've reached your limit. I thought a Tenth Stage cultivator would be impressive, but it seems it's just ordinary."
"Die."
He took a step forward.
Just as he was about to deliver a fatal blow, he suddenly realized that he was treading in place.
"Hmm?"
He was taken aback.
It was at this moment that Xu Feng Lai spat out fresh blood, "Sword One."
"One Sword... Parting Worlds!"
He actually used the One Sword, Parting Worlds technique, briefly 'slashing open' the space, but it could only last for an instant.
At this moment, Xu Feng Lai wanted to escape.
But after a second thought...
Where could he possibly run to at this moment?
His speed was inferior to the opponent's.
One Sword, Parting Worlds could only delay for a brief moment.
Escape? The ultimate outcome was clear.
He would be caught up to, and then... die!
Since it was the case...
It was better to give it his all, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent had no choice but to dodge, and fight for his life, grasping at a glimmer of hope.
Boom! He pushed the Great Yellow Palace to its limits, almost 'self-destructing'! Simultaneously, Xu Feng Lai burned his essence blood, healing his injuries and consuming elixir-like pills to unleash his full potential.
"Huff~~~!"
Xu Feng Lai, enveloped in golden light and blood mist, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
At this moment, he held the sword in his right hand, pointing the tip of the sword towards the sky. His left hand formed a sword finger, slowly gliding along the blade, as his spirit, energy, and body reached their peak.
"This sword..."
"I've never used it before, and I don't even know if I've truly grasped it."
"But now, I can only give it my all."
"May the Master protect me."
"Ethereal Sword Technique, Sword..."
Boom! His physical and spiritual power...
At this moment, Xu Feng Lai was almost 'drained'! But a sword technique he had never experienced before was gradually taking shape.
"So that's how it is."
Confronted with a true life-and-death crisis, Xu Feng Lai, amidst his shock, gradually understood and calmed down, "So that's how it is."
"The Master once said that Sword Twelve surpasses the limits of the body and spirit, a perfect sword that the world finds difficult to accommodate."
"So, it's all true."
"With my current strength..."
"I can only barely execute a Sword Twelve that is more like a fake than the real thing, right?"
"But..."
"So what?"
"Slash!"
He coughed up blood, and at this moment, not only his essence blood but even his physical body and spirit were burning!
Rip!
As the sword slashed out, the space was torn, revealing 'white lines'.
The space was ripped apart!
"Is this possible?!"
The Immortal Palace cultivator was shocked.
"Using the power of the Tenth Stage, he forcibly tore apart the space with a single sword."
"Kid, I acknowledge you."
"You indeed have the qualifications to make me take action. If you don't die..."
"I won't be able to sleep."
He finally understood why he and the others at the Thirteenth Stage were tasked with dealing with a few Tenth Stage youngsters.
These youngsters were indeed only at the Tenth Stage.
But, they were all true geniuses!
Like the person before him, he was most likely an unparalleled genius in the way of the sword! Geniuses like these not only possessed formidable strength but also had great fortune by their side. If they couldn't be killed in one strike, there would likely be endless troubles in the future.
So...
"You must die."
He whispered, and then, without further hesitation, unleashed the full power of the Thirteenth Stage.
"Break!"
His fist was like a mountain, suppressing the heavens!
The torn space was forcibly suppressed. This seemingly ordinary action actually blocked the sword that gathered the pinnacle of human strength.
Pfft!
His fist was pierced!
The sword followed the path of his fist, entering through it.
Pfft! His expression changed drastically.
A spray of blood bloomed from his shoulder!
Sword Twelve! The pinnacle of human strength!
This sword blocked his all-out punch, breaking through his proud defense, and even pierced through his right arm, entering through the fist and exiting from the shoulder...
Then...
Boom!!!
His entire right arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
"..."
He grunted in pain, his face twisted in anguish. "What an extraordinary genius."
"But today, you cannot defy fate!"
He endured the pain and lunged forward, determined to finish off Xu Feng Lai.
"So beautiful."
Xu Feng Lai didn't dare to retaliate, let alone escape.
He had already given it his all.
At this moment, he felt that this sword was truly exquisite, too beautiful.
If only he had more time...
If he could perfect this Sword Twelve, perhaps even against such a powerful Thirteenth Realm existence, he could fight to a mutual demise? But now...
He sighed silently, watching the opponent's offensive approach.
All he could do was watch, watch...
...
Time rewound to the moment after Xu Feng Lai and Qin Yu parted ways. Qin Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Because the Immortal Palace wasn't pursuing him anymore!
"The target is me, could it be because of Jiang Li?"
"The Divine Race."
He clenched his teeth.
Without 'Shooting Star Tears', he couldn't afford to be reckless, let alone overconfident. He even found an opportunity to throw Little Black away.
"You go first, and find a way to seek revenge."
"I'll hold him back."
"Big Brother!"
Little Black was shocked and didn't want to leave.
How could he not understand that Qin Yu had already given up on life?
Hold him back?
This was a powerful existence in the Thirteenth Realm, and it wouldn't be easy to kill even with two people working together.
If one person fought alone, wouldn't it be a certain death?
"Go!!!
Qin Yu roared.
"You want me to die without knowing who took revenge for me?"
"..."
"If we're going to die, we'll die together. Xu Feng Lai has already left, and someone will eventually find out who did this. Today, we brothers will fight to the death!"
But Little Black didn't leave; instead, he actively charged towards the Immortal Palace cultivator.
"You!!!"
Qin Yu was furious.
But in the end, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"As expected, I fell for it. Since it's like this, you hold him back, and I'll leave first!"
Whoosh!
Qin Yu suddenly accelerated, disappearing in an instant.
The Immortal Palace cultivator was surprised. "Little Black Bird, it seems you followed the wrong person."
Little Black didn't speak, desperately attacking, but after just a few moves, he suffered severe injuries and was on the verge of death!
This wasn't due to his weakness but the opponent's overwhelming strength; the gap was too vast!
"Die."
"In your next life, find a better master."
The Immortal Palace cultivator attacked, determined to finish off Little Black.
But Little Black remained silent.
His round eyes stared fixedly at the cultivator.
The cultivator pointed at Little Black's forehead, intending to finish him off.
But suddenly...
He abruptly turned around, his fingertip pointing towards a hidden figure behind him.
Pop~!
Space shattered.
A figure, who had been hiding and attempting a sneak attack with a dagger, was forced to retreat.
"Not bad."
"This concealment technique is something I've never seen before, and I almost didn't notice it."
He looked at Qin Yu, who had returned, and laughed. "Your scheme almost fooled me. Unfortunately, this foolish bird trusted you too much."
"You claimed to escape, but it didn't affect its emotions at all. What kind of trust is this?"
"Even between father and son, it's rare to find this level of trust."
"Therefore, I knew you wouldn't leave so easily, and I carefully investigated, and as expected..."
"Hehe."
He laughed. "You have a good brother, even though it's a bird. How many people can find someone they can trust unconditionally in their entire lives?"
"You should be grateful."
"Today's death is a worthy one."
"Is that so?"
But one of Qin Yu's clones took the opportunity to save Little Black and whispered, "Perhaps in your eyes, having someone trustworthy is a blessing, but that's only because you yourself are not trustworthy."
"I..."
"We can all believe in each other unconditionally."
"People like us..."
"There are many!"
"Oh?"
"Is that so?"
The cultivator was surprised but laughed. "So that's how it is."
"So, this is why so many of us are attacking?"
"Indeed."
"If you all grow up, you'll be quite troublesome."
"Therefore..."
"It's better to finish you all at once."
"Dying under the Immortal Palace's hands is something to be proud of."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's heart trembled.
