Seeking The Flying Sword Path
/ Seeking the Flying Sword Path 604 Quickly Take Your Leave Too
"Will you be able to flee?"
Patriarch Blood Sea laughed as he flicked his finger.
Blood-colored lotuses flew out from his fingertips at astonishingly fast speeds and soon caught up with Yang Jian. The twelve blood-colored lotuses floated and formed a massive array which consisted of churning blood waves. With that, Yang Jian was trapped.
"Boom." Yang Jian brandished his three-pointed, double-edged lance that exuded extremely horrifying might, but he was unable to break out of the crashing blood waves.
"Yang Jian, this Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array is not something a junior like you can crack," said Patriarch Blood Sea with a smile.
Yang Jian's heart tightened as well.
"Mt. Three Blades' interior is so vast, and I had retreated ahead of time, yet I bumped into Patriarch Blood Sea. How is it so coincidental?" Yang Jian turned anxious as well. "I'm really in danger now!"
Inside Mt. Three Blades, even if his backer Jade Void Palace wanted to rescue him, it was unlikely they could reach him anytime soon.
"Master."
Yang Jian immediately requested Jade Void Palace's help through a karmic voice transmission.
With such a crisis on his hands, Yang Jian had no plans of tiding through it himself.
…
Qin Yun had naturally tried his best to hide himself from the heavenly secrets in Mt. Three Blades. With his realm and the Seven Stars Art, even people like Patriarch Blood Sea and God King Zhurong were unable to infer who Wu Zhiqi's murderer was. However, there were some existences in all of the Three Realms who were capable of inferring this. For example, Emperor Polestar or the Buddhists' Amita…
Therefore, news of him killing Chaos Godfiend Wu Zhiqi very quickly spread among the strongest echelons in the Three Realms.
"That Wu Zhiqi died moments after being released?"
"He was killed by Qin Yun? For him to be able to kill Wu Zhiqi, it appears that this disciple of Numinous Treasure has astounding talent. If he is given a million or ten million years, he will likely be able to cultivate to a perfected Great Dao."
"His own realm is likely not that high. He probably relied on the Qingping Sword to kill Wu Zhiqi. Without it, I refuse to believe that his cultivation of several thousand years is enough to slay Wu Zhiqi."
The ancient existences chattered casually via voice transmissions.
But suddenly, a piece of news spread.
"Jade Void Palace's Yang Jian encountered Patriarch Blood Sea in Mt. Three Blades!"
"Yang Jian is in trouble now."
"Jade Void Palace is anxious as well. Guangchengzi has already set off."
"Yang Jian is presently the person with the highest chances of attaining a perfected Great Dao in Jade Void Palace. Primordial Beginning thinks highly of him, but if he ends up killed by Patriarch Blood Sea, I'm guessing that Primordial Beginning might go mad."
"Primordial Beginning and the rest will have to leave the Three Realms eventually. Therefore, they have been focusing on nurturing juniors. Apart from Guangchengzi, Jade Void Palace is nurturing Yang Jian. After all, Yang Jian is a Physical Establishing Sage. If he were able to reach a perfected Great Dao, the shock and awe he could deliver would exceed Guangchengzi's. He would definitely be able to take up the responsibility of running Jade Void Palace. However, if he were to be killed in Mt. Three Blades, all the years of Jade Void Palace's expectations would be for naught."
"Green Touring Palace's Qin Yun is also at Mt. Three Blades. Numinous Treasure similarly thinks highly of Qin Yun. He even bestowed his companion sword, the Qingping Sword to him. It would be interesting if he died at Mt. Three Blades as well! For two of the three Daoist lineages to suffer such great losses at Mt. Three Blades, haha…"
"Qin Yun is an Itinerant Immortal. He has the Itinerant Immortal Tribulations to worry about, but Yang Jian is different. He is a Golden Immortal with no calamities or tribulations awaiting him. He also has a chance of attaining a perfected Great Dao."
The ancient existences discussed the matter.
The Daoists and Buddhists were simply too powerful, so many ancient existences were happy to see them suffer a setback.

Elsewhere in Mt. Three Blades.
Qin Yun's slaying of Wu Zhiqi left Xiangliu raging. However, he had also saw the Qingping Sword that Qin Yun wielded.
"The Qingping Sword?" Xiangliu sneered. "That's Numinous Treasure's companion sword. From the looks of it, Numinous Treasure thinks very highly of you, but even so, your killing of Wu Zhiqi demands your death!"
"Go."
However, Qin Yun did not say a single word.
He gave a command with a thought.
The three Heaven, Earth, and Man sword manifestations of the Misty Rain Sword flew in every direction and in a blink of an eye, trapped Xiangliu and the other five Chaos Godfiends within.
"Xiangliu? Gonggong committed many unforgivable acts, and as the number one general under him, your sins are worse than Wu Zhiqi's. Today, I'll let you join Wu Zhiqi!" Qin Yun suddenly powered his Misty Rain Sword and instantly caused the Sword Qi within the array to turn to darkness. Firstly, it was his strongest refinement move, so he wished to wear away Xiangliu and the other Godfiends using his array. Back then, Gonggong's two most sinful acts were to first cause a flood, wiping out countless living beings. Secondly, he slammed through Mt. Buzhou. If not for Nüwa who mended the heavens, it was possible that the Three Realms would have been destroyed.
Since Gonggong did these things without any consideration, the generals under him who were his lackies also had committed shocking sins.
"Take up formation." The five Chaos Godfiends under Xiangliu immediately set up a formation as they attempted to crack the Misty Rain Array.
"You might have been able to trap Wu Zhiqi, but you can't do the same to me." Xiangliu attacked alone. His two arms expanded rapidly as he stabbed at the Misty Rain Array with two short halberds. The halberds were surprisingly fast and every stab at the Misty Rain Array injected nine types of energies into the array formation—corrosion, darkness, annihilation, venom, hex curses, brute strength, undying vitals…
Each halberd contained nine completely different energies.
Qin Yun had long learned from Green Touring Palace's intelligence that Xiangliu's true form was that of a nine-headed serpent from the Chaos. Each head was innately born with the strength of a pinnacle mighty figure's. With the combined power of the nine heads, Xiangliu was possessed of a supernatural strength since birth. Although there were many pinnacle mighty figures under Gonggong, Xiangliu was undeniably ranked first among the Chaos Godfiends.
"Oh?"
Qin Yun's Essence Soul was formed by wisps of extremely sharp Dharmic powers, with each wisp of Dharmic powers containing a Sword Dao of its own.
Xiangliu's hexes were unable to do anything to Qin Yun's Essence Soul, but his other means were able to affect Qin Yun's array formation. When those energies seeped into the array formation, it was like maggots that went deep into the bone, unable to be removed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The other five Chaos Godfiends also joined forces in their formation. Two of them were also pinnacle mighty figures so they delivered extremely powerful strength.
Accompanied by a booming hum, the Misty Rain Array experienced the infiltration of various energies. Its operations turned increasingly difficult as it was pushed to its limits.
"This Xiangliu's strength is way higher than Wu Zhiqi's." Qin Yun also waved his hand, transforming the Qingping Sword into a green sword beam. It flew into the array formation and went straight for Xiangliu.
"Oh?"
Xiangliu was alarmed as he hurriedly blocked the incoming attack with his two halberds. They were extremely ingenuous, so even Qin Yun's flying sword was unable to crack his defense.
"Pfft!"
The sword flash and his two halberds clashed as sword intent silently seeped into Xiangliu's body and damaged it.
However, Xiangliu's body seemed indestructible. The sword intent did cause damage, but his body quickly recovered from that damage.
"Legends say that this Xiangliu had seven of his heads slain by a perfected Great Dao existence, but his seven heads still quickly regrew. My usage of the Qingping Sword can only damage him, but his Indestructible Body is able to rapidly recover. It's useless no matter how much time is spent." Qin Yun understood this point. "There's nothing I can do about this. These Chaos Godfiends sometimes have really powerful talents.
"For instance, Daoist Wen was able to devour Connate Cardinal treasures at birth. The Buddhists' Mahamayuri was born capable of controlling the Five Elements. The Ancestral Dragon was even better than Daoist Wen and Mahamayuri. Even his bloodline's proliferation was capable of forming the extremely powerful dragons in the Three Realms," thought Qin Yun. "However, talent is both an aid and also a shackle. We humans can also practice cultivation to catch up to them and even surpass them."
Qin Yun did not continue wasting his time. With a thought, the Misty Rain Array's three flying swords flew back and surrounded him.
He no longer attempted to trap and kill his opponents.
Instead, he focused purely on defense!
If it was only defense, the Misty Rain Array was a lot more powerful than it was when trapping and killing enemies. After all, back when he entered the fiendish dominion, Qin Yun's Misty Rain Array was able to withstand Patriarch Blood Sea's large palm strike without shattering. Only a portion of strength seeped into the array formation, a testimony of how powerful the Misty Rain Array was as a defense.
"Sou!"
With the Misty Rain Sword protecting him, Qin Yun put away the Qingping Sword and shot a glance at Xiangliu and company before departing.
"Brother Xiangliu." The other five Chaos Godfiends looked at Xiangliu.
"It's no wonder Numinous Treasure bestowed him with the Qingping Sword," said Xiangliu. "This Itinerant Immortal's Sword Dao is indeed powerful. He is able to injure me, but I can't injure him at all. From the looks of it, the Three Realms has changed drastically during our long imprisonment. Even Daoist Itinerant Immortals are that powerful. We should stay low and figure out the situation first."
"Yes." The five Chaos Godfiends nodded in unison.
…
Qin Yun continued studying the array formations in Mt. Three Blades. Although he had figured out the Great Dao of Earth, he still found many of the array formation's aspects puzzling. He was drawing knowledge from them.
"Junior Brother, quickly leave Mt. Three Blades." A voice sounded in his ears.
Qin Yun was astonished. "Eldest Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
"There is danger in Mt. Three Blades. Yang Jian has been trapped by Patriarch Blood Sea. Even with his Eight-Nine Arcane Art and other means, he is unable to last much longer. His life is in danger," said Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain immediately. "You have to quickly withdraw!"
"Yang Jian is trapped by Patriarch Blood Sea and his life is in danger?" Qin Yun was alarmed.
Qin Yun had a very good impression of Yang Jian.
Back when Star Destruction attempted to occupy the Great Chang world, Yang Jian had appeared with the intention to save him and a few others despite having never met him before. However, Qin Yun ultimately refused and attempted to transcend the tribulations instead of escaping.
However, Qin Yun had never forgotten this act of friendship.
"Yang Jian?" Qin Yun immediately carefully sensed the karma.
Previously, Yang Jian had concealed his karma through the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, but after being trapped by Patriarch Blood Sea, his opponent knew his location very well. In order to allow his side to find him quickly, he was no longer concealing his karma. Instead, he was deliberately revealing it. Now, Jade Void Palace experts and aid they requested for were rushing over.
"He's there and not very far from me." Qin Yun also sensed Yang Jian's location.
