Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Nine Heavens Inheritance Steps.

”Run!”

”Hua Xue old freak has come out of seclusion!”

Blood threads shuttled through the mountain forest.

Each time they appeared, they would surely pass through the heart of a Qiyu Sect disciple, drain all the essence blood, and leave behind a withered, pale corpse.

Countless disciples fled in defeat, and countless blood threads traversed, covering every place within hundreds of meters, where the sound of bodies hitting the ground was incessant.

Moments later, hundreds of even redder threads gathered back, falling into the slightly open mouth of a girl in white with skin like snow, a blush on her cheeks flashing by.

Bang!

The corpse of a disciple at the peak of Qi Practicing, one of the seven true inheritors of the Qiyu Sect, fell from her hand, his eyes dull and lifeless, gradually growing dim.

”To fail in such a manner... is this really the Xiantian Sword Body?”

Mu Tiansnow murmured to herself.

As soon as she entered the Nine Heavens Relics, her whole focus was naturally on obtaining the Nascent Soul inheritance from the Nine Heavens Steps.

The sect affairs, however significant, held no weight in matters concerning the Dao.

Besides, by common sense, fifteen hundred sect disciples, plus the Three Sons of Xuetu, even if they encountered several Foundation-building cultivators within the Nine Heavens Relics, could surround and kill them, which could be considered foolproof.

”Li Qingyun...”

Her gaze fell upon a silhouette on the Nine Heavens Inheritance Steps, causing the latter’s body to tremble, increasingly fearful, unable to face the scrutiny of a Golden Pill Monk, even if the other’s cultivation was merely Qi Practicing.

”Sky Spiritual Root, and one who is suspected to be a Xiantian Sword Body, Qiyu Sect is at death’s door, yet still has some fate left.”

Mu Tiansnow’s eyebrows slightly knitted, as a murderous intention arose.

That reminded her of the person who revived the Qiyu Sect a thousand years ago.

If such seeds were not thoroughly eradicated, one misstep could bring uncertainty to the sect and the clan’s dominance.

”Leave this person for later, kill the Xiantian Sword Body first.”

Mu Tiansnow turned into a streak of blood-colored Escape Light and flew into the distance.

Along the way, blood threads flew down, piercing through the hearts of all the Qiyu Sect disciples they encountered, draining their essence blood, and displaying the patience that could pile up soil into a mountain.

”In the memory of that ant, this Xiantian Sword Body is extremely good at hiding, hard to find.”

”Consider using Qiyu Sect disciples as a threat, if he does not show himself, then slaughtering all the Qiyu Sect disciples in this place will also significantly weaken the Qiyu Sect’s potential.”

”If he still does not appear, it could also sow discord between this child and the upper echelons of the Qiyu Sect. This time, quite a few foundation-building descendants and Golden Core Family members have come.”

”They came here because they were certain that the Xiantian Sword Body could be relied upon. If this child ignores them, he will inevitably attract the enmity of the many Foundation-building cultivators within the sect, and even the displeasure of the Golden Pills.”

”It would be best to contact Bai Gui, to ensure nothing goes wrong.”

One idea after another rose in her mind, not considering the shame at all.

Among the Demon Sects, there is naturally no such thing as mutual trust, allowing others to know one’s state at all times.

”It’s a pity, there are no blood relatives of his here, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble. After going out, I could send someone to search in the mortal world of Yue Country, finding his relatives within three generations could also be useful...”

Mu Tiansnow felt somewhat regretful.

Boom!

Amidst the bursting sound of the air, a streak of azure sword-light descended.

”You actually dare to show yourself before me?”

Mu Tiansnow, who had been thinking all along about how to force the other party to show himself, was taken aback, her eyes widening with surprise.

She looked very cute.

”I am puzzled as well.”

Jiang Ding looked at her with bewilderment.

The azure Sword-light fell, and threads of blood-colored silk flew out of Mu Tiansnow’s body, rushing towards the sky, blocking the Flying Sword from all sides and encircling it, while several blood threads shot towards the body of the youth in blue clothes in the distance.

Everything was taken into consideration.

”To think that I was still pondering how to lure you out.”

Mu Tiansnow gave a wry smile: ”After all, it’s the spirit of youth. I’ve thought too much. If you pledge allegiance now, the old ancestor might still grant you a position as a blood servant...”

Whoosh!

The Azure Flying Sword cut across the sky, severing the entangled blood threads, and appeared directly at her graceful neck.

”How could this be?!”

```

Mu Tiansnow’s face turned pale, as this exceeded her understanding of what a Qi Practitioner was capable of!

In her haste, more lines of blood surged from her body, forming layers of crimson threads as defense on the surface of her skin, intricate and continuous, enough to withstand the bombardment of magic from several Foundation-building cultivators without harm.

Yet, beneath the Azure Flying Sword, they were sliced through with a single strike!

The old ghost with a host of Ghost Generals and soldiers to protect him fared better, but these purely magical defenses were akin to paper before the Taiqing Flying Sword.

With no obstacle, the Taiqing Flying Sword cut into her graceful neck, the blade sinking deep into her flesh.

Ding!

Finally, a sharp clang of metal on metal echoed.

A deep red Blood Knife appeared at the middle of her snow-white neck, blocking the Taiqing Flying Sword’s slash. The flesh around her neck exploded, revealing the white vertebrae underneath.

Pu!

Mu Tiansnow spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung dozens of meters away by a tremendous force. The intense pain in her neck and Blood Knife made her look down in astonishment.

”What kind of Flying Sword is this?!”

On the Blood Knife,

there was a visible chip the size of a rice grain.

This Knife was made from Artifact-grade materials!

”Die.”

Jiang Ding was brief and to the point.

With another flick of his finger, more mana poured in, the speed of the Taiqing Flying Sword surged once more, descending with a shrill shriek. The horrifying Sword Intent of Destruction oppressed everything around it, firmly locking onto the Divine Souls of living beings nearby.

”Die? Presumptuous!”

Mu Tiansnow’s face was icy cold, and she dared not underestimate him anymore due to her Golden Core perspective. The flesh on her neck churned and healed without leaving a single scar.

”Hua Xue Magical Blade!”

The palm-sized Blood Knife flew out from the bleeding wound on her neck.

Within the wailing of the blade-light, one knife multiplied into a thousand, forming a dense and complex Knife Formation that soared into the sky. Countless Vital Souls howled within the formation, launching a relentless assault targeting the Divine Soul.

Even on the Golden Core Battlefield, such an uninterrupted spirit attack could leave the adversary in disarray.

A slight confusion in mana or a momentary lapse in defense, and the myriad Knife Formation would find its way through any gap, severing the opponent into countless pieces.

The Seven Feather Sect Earth Vein Gold Pill had perished under this very Blood Knife in the last Sect battle.

”Slash!”

Jiang Ding made no further move, just a single slash.

And that was all he ever did, nothing else.

The Azure Sword’s body cut straight through the massive Knife Formation.

The multitude of knife-lit blood formations and the wails of Vital Souls stopped abruptly.

”This…”

Before Mu Tiansnow’s astonished eyes, the Knife Formation crumbled instantly!

Spiritual Light Splashed everywhere.

The Sword-light, seemingly straightforward in its descent, concealed profound subtleties, drawing an irregular curve that, in a breath’s time, sliced through all fourteen core Formation Nodes and dissipated them.

Ding!

The Taiqing Flying Sword struck the Hua Xue Magical Blade once more, sending it flying, its Spiritual Light notably dimmer.

Unable to block, there was a vast gap in their abilities!

”Among Qi Practitioners, even with all the ghostly entities that Bai Gui commands, your power is much weaker,”

Jiang Ding commented rather disinterestedly.

Shoo!

The Taiqing Flying Sword encountered no more barriers, passing through her snowy neck with one slash, and her head fell to the ground.

”But, your life force is stronger,”

Jiang Ding added.

As her head fell, her neck exploded, and blood and fragments of flesh scattered. Those parts tainted by the Sword Qi were completely discarded.

”How can this be mere Qi Cultivation!”

Flesh reassembled, and a slightly smaller Mu Tiansnow revealed herself once more, her complexion ashen as she desperately fled into the distance.
