“Heavenly Sword · Demon Vibration!”A majestic and mighty pure sword light, seemingly infused with the righteousness of the world, erupted like the rising sun! The sword light shone brilliantly, carrying an awe-inspiring righteousness that purified all evil spirits, fiercely slashing toward the endless ghostly shadows!
Sizzle!
Like the blazing sun melting snow! Countless ghostly shadows let out wretched screams under the dazzling sword light and instantaneously turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared! Even the main body of the Xuanyin Soul Searching Banner was struck by the sword light, letting out a mournful cry as it dimly flew back into the hands of the Golden Core Elder, clearly not lightly damaged.
“Pfft!” The Golden Core Elder, suffering from the backlash of the Magical Treasures, spat out a mouthful of blood again, his face turning paper gold.
“Go!” He knew the situation was hopeless, and to continue fighting would only lead to death. He abruptly tossed the “Star Marrow,” a mysterious material emitting a faint starlight, far away, shouting, “Take it! Spare us a way out!”
The three from the Heavenly Sword Sect indeed had their attention drawn to the flung Star Marrow, momentarily pausing their actions.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, the Golden Core Elder crushed a blood-red Talisman in his hand!
Buzz!
A dense blood light enveloped him and the remaining three injured disciples, transforming into a blood-colored streak, astonishingly employing a highly essence-consuming Blood Escape technique, fleeing at incredible speed toward another direction in the valley!
“Trying to run? Leave your life behind!” The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect reacted swiftly, reaching out to grab, drawing the Star Marrow into his hand with an invisible suction force, tucking it into his chest without a glance, and immediately the sword light flashed to pursue the blood light!
However, just at this moment!
An unforeseen turn of events occurred!
A more rapid, more concealed dark light shot out abruptly from the side forest like a lurking venomous snake! The target was the intermediate Golden Core cultivator of the Heavenly Sword Sect who had just obtained the Star Marrow!
This dark light moved at extreme speed, carrying an extremely sinister and soul-corroding aura!
“Watch out!” The other two disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect cried out in alarm, but it was too late for a rescue!
Thunk!
The dark light accurately pierced the back of that intermediate Golden Core cultivator!
“Ugh…” His body suddenly stiffened, eyes revealing an incredulous expression, looking down at the black short dagger emanating dark qi protruding from his chest, as his vitality rapidly ebbed away, crashing straight down from the air!
“Senior Brother!”
“Who is it?!”
The remaining two disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were both shocked and furious, halting their pursuit, vigilantly looking toward the direction from where the dark light had shot out!
From the forest emerged a figure draped in a black cloak, shrouded entirely in shadows. In his hand, he toyed with a uniquely shaped black dagger, still stained with traces of blood, exuding a sinister and chilling aura.
“Hehehe… Young ones of the Heavenly Sword Sect, how foolish you are. The sandpiper and the clam fight each other, and the fisherman profits. This Star Marrow, I’ll gladly accept.” The cloaked man let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh, his eyes greedily fixed on the corpse of the intermediate Golden Core cultivator who had fallen.
“Who are you? How dare you ambush the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect!” The remaining two disciples were both shocked and angry, yet facing this mysterious cloaked man with a strange aura, who could kill an intermediate Golden Core cultivator in one strike, they were filled with apprehension and dared not rush forward.
“Who am I? You aren’t qualified to know.” The cloaked man sneered, his form flickered as he moved forward to seize the Star Marrow from the fallen cultivator.
And just at this instant, Luo Qingchen, who had been lurking from a distance, had his eyes sparkle with a gleam!
Opportunity!
He signaled Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan with a glance, and the three slipped silently from the bushes like shadows, taking advantage of everyone’s focus on the sudden appearance of the cloaked man, swiftly weaving through the forest shadows toward the direction the Xuanyin Sect Elder had used Blood Escape to flee!
Their movements were swift and discreet, stirring not a whisper of wind nor disturbing a single fallen leaf. All the chaos, anger, and confrontation occurred in the small battlefield behind them, where the remaining two of the Heavenly Sword Sect concentrated fully, wary of the mysterious cloaked man, while the cloaked man was intent on the Star Marrow on the ground, leaving nobody to notice these three silently departing shadows.
“That was close, really close…” Su Xiaowan whispered as she ran, tapping her chest in lingering fear, “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and there’s more sneaky hitters afterward… These people are just too devious!”
“Less talking, keep up!” Luo Qingchen sternly barked, quickening his pace. The Xuanyin Sect Elder’s use of Blood Escape was immensely resource-consuming but exceedingly fast; they had to hurry, or else losing the trail would make finding the Transmission Array in the vast forest like finding a needle in a haystack.
Lin Wan’er remained silent, just adjusting Bai Ling’er on her back, a flow of green light at her feet, closely following Luo Qingchen’s steps.
Behind them, the faint sounds of mana collisions and angry curses echoed, indicating that the remaining Heavenly Sword Sect disciples and the mysterious cloaked man had already clashed. But this was no longer relevant to Luo Qingchen and his group. Their sole objective was to locate the Transmission Array and leave this place of trouble!
Following the extremely faint and rapidly dissipating trail of blood qi left by the Xuanyin Sect Elder, the three darted swiftly through the tangled terrain. The mountain paths were treacherous, and ancient trees towered overhead, yet nothing could hinder their progress.
About a stick of incense’s time later, Luo Qingchen halted before a concealed mountain wall. Here, the trail of blood qi was the thickest and then abruptly vanished.
