Little Feng Ling looked at Fang Yu pitifully, tears welling up in her big eyes.
“There’s only one way to save her,” the elder said, looking at Fang Yu.
“What do you mean?” Fang Yu asked.
The old man’s face, creased with wrinkles, broke into a smile.
This old face, when it smiles, looks like a chrysanthemum, which is pretty hideous.
“You, shall receive the punishment you deserve.” The elder said.
“What kind of punishment?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“It’s very simple, I shall impose a bloodline curse upon you. From then on…you shall become one of us.” the old man said.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.
“With what you have done, you should have received a far harsher punishment,” the elder said. “But considering your talent, we have decided to spare your life, which is an immense grace.”
“Whom should I thank?” Fang Yu asked.
“Heh, thank yourself for it. If you hadn’t surprised us with your strength, you would have been dead long ago.” The old man sneered, saying so.
“Well, I see your point… You’re quite clever.” Fang Yu lowered his head and smiled.
“Have you considered it? Accept the Bloodline Curse, or… watch her die with your own eyes?” The elder’s tone turned cold as he asked.
“I choose to beat you up.”
Fan Yu raised his head, a cold smile on his face.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Fang Yu swept his right hand forward.
Each fingertip simultaneously shoots out a beam of true energy.
“Whoosh…”
True Qi howled through the air, emitting a piercing screech as it cut.
In this fleeting moment, True Qi had transformed into an extremely sharp blade, piercing towards the elder from all directions.
Fang Yu’s attack was as swift and fierce as lightning.
But the elder’s reaction was incongruous with his aged appearance.
He immediately raised his left hand and held it up in front of his face.
“Celestial God’s Scripture.”
The old man muttered incantations, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.
“Boom!”
A solid light shield burst from the elder’s body.
Fang Yu’s five golden lights of true qi all collided with the emerald-green light shield.
However, the true energy transformed into a blade still pierced through the light barrier.
The visor immediately appeared to crack, on the verge of being pierced.
The elder raised his right palm and brought his palms together.
Now, the outer shield was even thicker.
“Boom!”
Those five streaks of qi, transformed into blades, were forcefully compressed and then surged towards Fang Yu’s position.
Fang Yu gently waved his right hand forward.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound echoed, and the five qi dissipated directly.
At this moment, Fang Yu looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes twinkling with surprise.
Celestial God’s Scripture…
This is a spell he knew.
This was a unique and highly prized secret technique of the Bitian Sect, a renowned sect from that era.
Take a closer look at this old man’s attire… it seems to be the uniform of the Bitian Sect from back in the day.
Could he possibly be a cultivator from the Bi Tian Sect back then!?
After the Sect War that year, Bi Tianzong should have been destroyed; otherwise, it should still exist now.
“Are you from Bitian Sect?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.
“Bi Tian Zong?” The old man shook his head slightly and said, “That was a long time ago. Now… I have been reborn.”
When speaking, the elder looked at Xiaofengling beside Fangyu, trapped in the Yinyuan formation.
“It seems you don’t care about your companions very much, then… I’ll just kill her.” The elder said coldly, raising his left palm and chanting a spell.
At this moment, the light shield surrounding Xiaofengling’s body began to vibrate, emitting waves of radiance.
“I’m giving you one last chance.” The old man looked at Fang Yu and said calmly, “Either… accept the bloodline curse and become one of us, or… watch her die.”
“Believe me, no matter what you’re capable of, you won’t be able to save her.”
“I could kill her in a heartbeat.”
“As I just said, my choice is… to beat you up.” Fang Yu smiled faintly.
When he spoke, he raised his right hand.
“
”
A broken blade appeared in Fang Yu’s right hand.
Fang Yu grasped the broken sword, and its blade suddenly emitted a strong blue light!
The overwhelming power of heaven and earth spread out.
“Since we’re all contemporaries, let’s not beat around the bush.” Fang Yu glanced at the Heavenly Dao Sword in his hand and said, “I’ll use the sword from back then to strike you down.”
As soon as the Heavenly Dao Sword is drawn, the power of the Heavenly Dao fills the entire environment.
The elder took a step back, his face changing.
“Is this… the Heavenly Dao Sword? You’re a disciple of Daotian!?” The elder asked.
“You know my master?” Fang Yu was even more surprised, and at the same time raised his Heaven-Dao Sword.
The old man also came to his senses, pinched a seal with his left hand, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
“Since you don’t value your companion’s life, then I’ll kill her!” the old man said coldly, extending his left hand forward.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, the light shield enveloping Xiaofengling’s body flared brightly.
The tiny wind chimes inside were instantly swallowed by the light.
The old man’s face once again contorted into a grotesque smile.
Ke Fangyu also had a smile on her face.
Two seconds later, the light faded.
“Finally made it out, I couldn’t breathe in there, it was awful.” Xiaofengling ran to Fang Yu’s back and said.
Seeing this, the old man’s face changed.
In his imagination, the small wind chime had already dissipated along with the Source Array.
But… little Wind Chime was unharmed!
“Humph, you old monster, don’t you know how powerful Xiaofengling is? You think a little spell formation can trap me? Daydream!” Xiaofengling pinched her cheeks with both hands, made a face at the elder, and stuck out her tongue provocatively, “Hmph, hmph, hmph…”
“Since you know about Dao Tian, you should also know my master’s sword, which is specialized in slaying beasts, right?” Fang Yu smiled faintly. “You don’t even spare children, calling you a beast wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Fang Yu grasped the broken Heaven’s Dao Sword and slashed downwards fiercely.
“Whoosh!”
The azure sword qi of the Heaven’s Dao Sword cleaved a fissure in the ground.
The overwhelming power of heaven and earth erupted at this moment, accompanied by fierce sword energy.
Facing the sword qi of Heaven’s Path that came rushing towards him, the old man’s heart pounded with alarm.
The speed was simply too fast, there wasn’t time to dodge, I could only endure the blow head-on!
The old man, in a panic, raised his hands and formed seals. He gathered his true energy in front of him, condensing it into a cyan light shield.
“Boom!”
The razor-sharp celestial sword qi tore through the shield in an instant, striking the elder’s flesh directly!
The elder roared, the string of stone beads on his wrist flashing.
“Bang!”
After a muffled sound like a bell, a stone wall suddenly appeared before the elder, rotating rapidly.
These suspended, rotating stone walls are etched with special runes and emanate an ancient aura.
What kind of artifact is this, Fang Yu wasn’t sure.
But obviously, this is a defensive magic artifact.
Heavenly sword Qi slashed against one of the stone walls.
“Bang!”
The stone wall shuddered violently.
The surrounding stone walls swirled, immediately piling forward, completely blocking the elder’s body.
And these stone walls are made of an extremely strong material, containing true energy drawn from the old man himself.
The heavenly sword qi slashed against the stone wall, leaving a deep gash but failing to completely shatter it.
The old man behind the stone wall had eyes as cold as ice.
He didn’t expect that Xiaofengling, trapped in the Yinyuan formation, would be able to run out unscathed.
This left him without support.
However, he can’t back down now either.
His task today was to either kill Fang Yu or impose the bloodline curse on him.
If he can’t complete the task, there’s no point in him staying here.
“This person, to be a disciple of Daotian… how could he have lived to this day?” The elder was shocked.
“It seems you think hiding behind these stone walls will keep you safe. Well, try it.”
Fang Yu looked at the heavy stone wall in front of him, his eyes flashing with a blue light.
Even after achieving unity with heaven and earth, he had yet to fully unleash the power of his Heavenly Sword Technique.
Now is the time.
“Heaven’s Way Sword Technique, Final Form.”
“Hum…”
Fang Yu clasped the sword hilt with both hands, and the Heavenly Dao Sword in his hand trembled, emitting a long, resonant hum.
Where the Heaven-Dao Sword had shattered, a dazzling blue light flared.
At this moment, the power of Heaven and Earth converged at the break, making the Heavenly Sword appear to be whole again.
Then, the blade of Heavenly Dao Sword burned like blue flames.
Fang Yu coldly eyed the stone wall ahead, gripping his Heavenly Dao Sword and slashing horizontally.
