Seeking the Flying Sword Path 605 Fighting Alongside Each Other In Life and Death

Qin Yun did not hesitate to forge forward.

If it was a hopeless cause, Qin Yun naturally would not send himself to death. However, he had witnessed the battle between Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain and Patriarch Blood Sea during his assault in the fiendish dominion! Furthermore, his Misty Rain Array at that time… was able to hold against Patriarch Blood Sea's attack. Perhaps it could be said that Patriarch Blood Sea had not used all his strength, but the Qin Yun from back then had only just attained his pinnacle Great Dao.

Now, Qin Yun had fused three pinnacle Great Dao together, and he was just a sliver short of a perfected Great Dao! The Misty Rain Array had also undergone tumultuous changes and its defensive aspect far exceeded the Qingping Sword's. It had to be noted that the present Qin Yun had increased his realm significantly and this Flying Sword's might was a lot stronger than before.

This was expected too.

As Qin Yun grew in strength, it was destined that his Intrinsic Flying Sword would slowly chase up to or even exceed the Qingping Sword in different aspects.

"He is about four kilometers away, but the forks make it like a maze. How am I to reach him?" Qin Yun's Misty Rain domain penetrated the stone walls to probe the array formation veins as he carefully took note of the terrain.

After figuring out the Great Dao of Earth, Qin Yun was able to understand even more of the array's veins.

He could also guess a lot more of the connections between the forks.

"I should head in this direction." Qin Yun did not hesitate to proceed forward.

This was the first time he was not meditating over the array formation in Mt. Three Blades. Instead, he proceeded with a goal in mind. As such, his speed was a lot faster.

******

Elsewhere in Mt. Three Blades.

The Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array was created by Patriarch Blood Sea after years of cultivation. Yang Jian was unable to escape from it.

As Patriarch Blood Sea controlled the array formation, he chatted with the Fiend Ancestor.

"Brother Blood Sea, kill this Yang Jian if you can. If you are able to kill him, bring me the third eye at his glabella. If you fail to kill him, at least capture him alive and hand him to me whole." The Fiend Ancestor sent a karmic voice transmission from afar. "As long as you succeed, I will bestow you the treasure you have been wanting all this while."

Patriarch Blood Sea's smile widened when he heard that.

"Fiend Ancestor, don't worry. Leave it to me," said Patriarch Blood Sea via voice transmission.

All of them knew very well that the Fiend Ancestor always wished to capture Yang Jian and the monkey who was now Buddhist. Some time ago, the Fiend Ancestor had even sneaked up onto the monkey while disregarding his status. However, he was stopped by the Buddhist Ancestor.

"To think that the Fiend Ancestor would actually part with their cardinal treasure to make an exchange. However, it's to my advantage. If I have that cardinal treasure, perhaps my Blood Sea Great Dao would improve further." Patriarch Blood Sea looked at Yang Jian, who was trapped inside the Negative Karma Fire Blood Lotus Array, and wore a look of worry in his eyes. "However, this Yang Jian has cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to an extremely high realm. He has already attained an invulnerable body. Even the The Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array will need forty-nine days to fully erode and refine him to death."

Entities with extremely powerful bodies were very hard to kill.

"I have to think of means to capture him alive." Acting on his will, the Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array underwent another change.

Whoosh~

Yang Jian was trapped amid waves of blood and was unable to extricate himself.

Suddenly, red ribbon bands surfaced amid the blood waves as they began circling Yang Jian.

"He's thinking of capturing me?" Yang Jian naturally knew that it was over once he was captured. He used all his might to deliver a blow with his three-pointed, doubled-edged lance. The lance arts were mystical, as though they were a portrayal of the Samsara. They were flawless, allowing him to completely fend off the red ribbons.

"His body is powerful and his close combat techniques are impressive as well," sighed Patriarch Blood Sea when he saw this. "Furthermore, his Samsara Great Dao is just a sliver short of perfection. It's no wonder Jade Void Palace thinks so highly of him.

"However, a sliver short… still means a night and day difference."

"Collect!"

Patriarch Blood Sea suddenly extended his hand as his arm expanded rapidly. A huge palm surfaced in midair as it came bearing down on Yang Jian.

Furthermore, the Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array also began changing. A huge blood-colored lotus flower appeared deep beneath the array's tumultuous blood waves! The gigantic blood-colored lotus flower completely filled the center of the array formation.

"Oh?" Yang Jian's expression changed.

The gigantic lotus flower beneath him floated upwards as the petals began enveloping him.

Above him was Patriarch Blood Sea's massive palm.

There was no room for escape between the two impending attacks.

Yang Jian tried his best to attack with his three-pointed, doubled-edged lance in a bid to tear through the blood-colored lotus' petals. However, despite managing to barely tear apart one petal, a new petal appeared in its place.

"Yang Jian, don't bother keeping up with your struggle. You will not be able to escape me." Patriarch Blood Sea laughed as he powered the array formation and bore down with his palm.

"Patriarch Blood Sea!" There was a keen glint in Yang Jian's eyes.

The massive blood-colored lotus began closing.

The palm came pressing from above.

Trapped in the middle, Yang Jian stopped brandishing his lance and glared at Patriarch Blood Sea.

"Open." Yang Jian bellowed coldly.

A vertical eye opened in his glabella.

"A Heavenly Eye divine power?" Patriarch Blood Sea thought nothing of it. All of the Three Realms knew Perfect Sovereign Erlang Yang Jian had cultivated a Heavenly Eye. However, many people had Heavenly Eye divine powers in the Three Realms, so Patriarch Blood Sea thought nothing of it.

"Obliterate."

A black beam suddenly shot out from Yang Jian's vertical eye.

The black beam brought with it a destructive aura and an aura of death the moment it appeared.

"The Fiend Ancestor's Divine Eye of Destruction?" Patriarch Blood Sea was alarmed. He knew that the Fiend Ancestor's strongest destruction body had a Divine Eye of Destruction. He had even seen the Fiend Ancestor use it against the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor. Yang Jian's casting of it made him sense the same aura.

"Boom!"

The black beam proceeded in an unstoppable onslaught as it tore apart the gigantic blood-colored lotus. The Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array was cracked as it shot towards Patriarch Blood Sea.

Patriarch Blood Sea immediately flipped his massive palm in a bid to stop him.

He was a little fearful towards the move that resembled the Fiend Ancestor's Divine Eye of Destruction.

Pu!

The black beam instantly tore through his palm and penetrated Patriarch Blood Sea's body, finally hitting a vein of Mt. Three Blades's array formation. Mt. Three Blades' array formation naturally withstood the blow easily.

"It's very powerful and matches the attack strength of a perfected Great Dao. Unfortunately, it's far weaker than the Fiend Ancestor's." Patriarch Blood Sea laughed. The body that had been hollowed recovered with a swirl of sanguine light. "I have an Indestructible Body. This bit of injury won't affect me at all."

He secretly heaved a sigh of relief as well.

He was originally frightened, but after taking blow head-on, he realized that it was at the strength of a perfected Great Dao. It was only power that belonged to death and destruction.

"I can sense that using this power is demanding on you," said Patriarch Blood Sea with a smile. With a thought, the Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array was powered again. "It's impossible for there to be no cost for a pinnacle Golden Immortal like you to cast something at the level of a perfected Great Dao! I want to see how many times you can cast it."

Yang Jian did not respond at all.

He was always unwilling to use this power, but he had no choice but to use it this time.

Once, twice, thrice!

Against Patriarch Blood Sea's all-out strength, Yang Jian was forced to use the true powers of his glabella's Divine Eye.

Yang Jian was affected every time the aura of destruction and death inside his Divine Eye was used. It also affected his Essence Soul.

However, he cultivated in the Samsara Great Dao and was able to wear away the aura. Now that his realm was sufficiently high, he was able to withstand a lot more than back when he could only use it once in his youth.

Twenty times! Twenty-one times!

Yang Jian's Dharmic powers began to turn chaotic as his Essence Soul was beginning to become tainted.

"I can't continue," muttered Yang Jian inwardly. "If I continue using it, I'll likely end up a fiend."

"Haha, even your Dharmic powers have turned chaotic. How many more times can you cast it?" Patriarch Blood Sea was turning even more confident.

"I had once sworn that I would rather be completely destroyed in both body and soul than become a fiend." Yang Jian had made up his mind.

"Patriarch Blood Sea! What a coincidence! We meet again!" A voice sounded at that moment.

Yang Jian turned his head to look.

He saw a figure fly over like a sword beam. Circulating him were three flying swords.

The figure dashed straight into the Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array as the three flying swords around him rapidly expanded and protected Yang Jian inside a sword array. It completely fended off the blood waves' corrosion.

"Qin Yun." Yang Jian identified the figure to be the Great Chang world's Qin Yun. Qin Yun was only an Itinerant Immortal at the pinnacle Golden Immortal level. Why did he not hesitate to charge into the Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus Array?

"Perfect Sovereign." Qin Yun smiled at him.

"Sword Immortal Qin, you…" Yang Jian was an extremely proud loner. He was momentarily speechless seeing Qin Yun risk his life to save him. He felt his chest burning hot.

Yang Jian knew that he would never forget this moment for the rest of his life.

"Hahaha, after bumping into one, I have bumped into a second one. My luck sure is good." Patriarch Blood Sea laughed out loud.

"Perfect Sovereign, shall we join forces to fight this Patriarch Blood Sea, alright?" Qin Yun roared with laughter as he used the Misty Rain Array to fend off the blood waves' corrosion.

"Alright." Yang Jian laughed out upon seeing this. "Sword Immortal Qin, our lives are tied together in life and death. Let us fight Patriarch Blood Sea together."
