Chapter 261: Senior Brother, Destiny
The devastated mountains and forests were filled with the smell of burning.
Boom—
A bloody, mangled arm broke through the scorched earth, and Yun Kunwu gritted his teeth as he pulled himself out from the ground. Reflecting on the Earth Phoenix True Treasure wielded by Elder Tianxing, he couldn’t help but marvel,
“The elder of the Sword Sect truly has the deepest heritage. The Earth Phoenix True Treasure, coupled with the Heavenly Spirit Earth Vein, is formidable, tsk…”
He clicked his tongue in amazement, using his dark spiritual sword as support to stand up, then glanced at the sky reddened by the flames.
White dots of light fell from above, sprinkling onto his charred arm and causing sharp stabs of pain.
“After the Earth Phoenix, it’s actually snowing! Since when did fire and water become compatible? Ha… bad luck!”
Yun Kunwu shook his right hand and moved aside with all his strength. He knew Tianxing must be too weak to pursue him after expending a hundred years of vital energy on their confrontation.
But there was a female elder following him just now. If she caught up, he would have to head to the northwest.
It had been less than two hours since he regained freedom from the sword tomb, and now he was facing death.
This wasn’t worth it…
“Tsk…”
Yun Kunwu quickly sat cross-legged on the ground to gather his spirits for healing, but he found that the evil body was already in ruins, and the evil pill in his Dantian was shattered.
“What kind of broken body did Master get for me? A bit of movement, and it’s in this state. Tsk… He’s an old man too. He used to be an alchemy cultivator, but now his body has become like this… After this, I’d better refine it myself. Ugh—”
Whizzing–
Footsteps approached from behind, and Yun Kunwu immediately became alert. But his body was too weak from Tianxing’s attack, and even a slight movement caused him to grimace in pain, collapsing to the ground. He struggled to raise his head and looked towards the source of the sound.
A young man in white clothing pushed aside burnt branches and approached with a sword in hand. There seemed to be a void in his deep purple eyes, making it hard to discern his thoughts.
“A foundation-building cultivator in this place!”
Seeing Yun Kunwu in such a sorry state, Ye Anping seemed relieved. He put his index finger and thumb in his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.
Shh!! ——
Ye Anping walked up to Yun Kunwu, five feet away, and stared at him expressionlessly.
“Honestly, you’re the most disobedient pawn I’ve had in over ten years.”
“More than ten years! Pawn!”
Yun Kunwu tried to prop himself up, but Ye Anping threw his spiritual sword, piercing his back and pinning him to the ground.
“Cough—”
He didn’t expect a foundation-building cultivator to injure him just by throwing a sword, immediately suspecting Ye Anping of hiding his true cultivation.
“You…”
“I have not hidden my cultivation. As you can see, I am a young cultivator with dual spiritual roots and in the middle stage of foundation building,” Ye Anping said, glancing around. Seeing that his junior sister had not yet arrived, he sighed and prepared to have a few more words with him. “Are you surprised? Why can a foundation-building cultivator so easily hurt the body of your Evil Nascent Soul?”
Yun Kunwu opened his eyes slightly, then narrowed them. “What’s the meaning?”
Ye Anping shrugged slightly. “This must be attributed to your master. The furnace exploded when he was refining this evil elixir, and then you were hit directly by Senior Tianxing’s real treasure… It didn’t break directly, which was quite beyond my expectations. And the fact is, I really underestimated you.”
“You little foundation-building cultivator…”
Boom–
Ye Anping kicked up a stone from the ground and hit him directly in the mouth, causing a row of teeth to scatter out instantly.
“You are no different from a mortal now. Why do you have to distinguish between high and low cultivation? How about it? From being a jealous person to being like this now, you have enjoyed the glory of heaven and finally ended up like this.”
“…”
“I really didn’t expect that you could actually disobey the way of heaven and grab the scroll of heaven and even face the earth-veined senior Tianxing alone and still not fall behind,” Ye Anping said, twisting his eyebrows as if complaining. “I thought that the surging veins in that field, combined with the Tiangang Formation of Senior Tianxing and the two eldest ladies, would bury you directly. You really almost overturned my chessboard.”
“You mean, I’m just your pawn! Ha…”
“After experiencing this incident, the three eldest ladies of the Yun family will definitely be able to unite. The friendship that they have experienced together will be enough to last for hundreds of years.”
“Three eldest ladies! Just them…”
“It is true that my qualifications are not as good as yours. It would be better to say that there is no one in this world whose qualifications are as good as yours,” Ye Anping interrupted, “But you will soon die in the hands of a little girl who is in the middle stage of foundation building. Do you believe it or not?”
“Little girl! Haha…” Yun Kunwu sneered, “How can a foundation-building cultivator break my Nascent Soul? I’m quite curious.”
——”Senior brother!”
A cheerful female voice came from the forest nearby. Pei Lianxue, holding the Xue Qiong Spiritual Sword in her hand, pushed aside the burnt branches and ran over quickly. She glanced at the bloody man lying on the ground and twisted slightly for a moment,
“Senior brother, is he Yun Kunwu?”
“Yeah.” Ye Anping nodded, “Let’s do it…”
“Um.”
When Yun Kunwu, who was lying on the ground, heard this, his eyes were fixed on the Snow Qiong Spiritual Sword in Pei Lianxue’s hand, and he didn’t react until he saw her raising the sword.
“This sword is…”
“Your grandpa gave it to you. It has the good effect of sealing souls and absorbing souls. It’s just right to destroy your Nascent Soul.”
When Ye Anping said this, the Snow Qiong Spiritual Sword drew ten icy blue spiritual lights and shot toward Yun Kunwu’s eyebrows.
Although in Yun Kunwu’s eyes, these ten rays of light were as slow as a turtle crawling, he could not move at all and could only watch the sword rays hitting his face.
“Tsk…”
But it was at this time that he also reacted.
The person he felt just now had a destiny far beyond his was the young boy in front of him who looked young, but even if he reacted, he couldn’t believe it.
Such a waste…
Swish——
Flesh and blood splattered. Even if he were such a talented person, when he was extinguished, he would still be like ordinary people, making no sound and returning to the dust.
Pei Lianxue quickly added a few more swords, completely chopped his body into pieces, and then asked,
“Senior brother, where is Sister Yun? Aren’t we going to save Sister Yun?”
“The heavenly spirit of Senior Tianxing should have protected her from the beginning. Now she is probably buried in that mountain and is calling for help. Elder Hu and the others will naturally dig her out in a while. Let’s go back. If someone saw us, I won’t be able to explain clearly by then.”
“Um…”
Pei Lianxue looked back at Yun Kunwu again. Without saying anything, she summoned her flying sword, followed her senior brother to return to where they came from with the sword, and rushed back towards Xiri Peak.
