Chapter 227 Deathly Aura Corrodes, Immortal Sword in Danger!
"Xiao Jue, how much further?"
Above the clouds in the uninhabited area of western Xinjiang, Li Jie stood upright on his water vapor sword and asked aloud in his mind.
"We're almost there. I can already sense Rainbow's presence. Wait..."
"That is......."
"Oh no! Brother Li Jie, hurry! There's a divine aura from a foreign land three kilometers to the northwest, and the aura emanating from Hong is also there!"
Xiao Jue's ethereal voice went from relaxed to anxious in almost an instant.
Hearing Xiao Jue's anxious voice, Li Jie did not hesitate to increase the speed of his sword flight.
After all, it was a no-man's land, and the watchmen's protection here was certainly not as strict as in the city, so Li Jie was not surprised by the strange fluctuations.
only......
According to Xiao Jue, the foreign aura that appeared near the Wen Yang Cave of the Immortal-Trapping Sword was actually a god.
Although he didn't know which god had come, Li Jie was perfectly clear about His motives.
It's probably another outer god who was severely injured by the Four Swords of Zhuxian during the God War, taking advantage of the fact that the power of the immortal swords hasn't fully recovered to come and cause trouble.
The place where the divine power fluctuations originated was not far from Li Jie. With all his might, Li Jie arrived above the cave where the Immortal-Trapping Sword nurtured in just a few breaths.
"Is this it?"
"That's right, the source of that divine power fluctuation is underground! Quick, Brother Li Jie, I can sense that Hong's aura is extremely unstable!"
Upon hearing Xiao Jue's voice, Li Jie looked down and around. Above him, there was nothing but sand; if one didn't look closely, they probably wouldn't notice anything unusual.
Since Xiao Jue said it's here, then it must be here!
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Li Jie gently uncorked the sandalwood gourd from his waist.
With a flick of their fingers, the ice-blue longsword appeared in response.
With the immortal sword in hand, Li Jie took a deep breath and unleashed more than a dozen pale blue sword beams towards the endless yellow sand on the ground.
Zheng! !
As the sword energy surged, the ground covered by yellow sand suddenly sank, revealing an ancient city-state covering an area of about ten miles in circumference.
"The nurturing ground for the Immortal-Trapping Sword is this large?"
"Where is she?"
"Brother Li Jie! The clock tower in the very center! Quick!"
Upon hearing Xiao Jue's words, Li Jie, who was in mid-air, quickly searched for the clock tower in the city.
Soon, a faint red light appeared before his eyes.
This is it!
With this thought in mind, Li Jie didn't delay any longer and controlled the water vapor sword to fly up.
The closer you get, the more real the eerie atmosphere emanating from that ancient clock tower becomes.
For no apparent reason, a familiar feeling arose in Li Jie's heart.
This aura... it feels like I've encountered it somewhere before...
"Ok?"
When Li Jie arrived at the top of the dilapidated clock tower, a very muffled sound drifted out from the nearly broken window frame.
"They came really fast... but... it's too late!"
Just after that dull sound subsided, a surge of immense divine power erupted from the clock tower!
Li Jie reacted quickly.
With a flick of his wrist, he held the longsword upright in front of him.
Just then, a sudden gust of wind arose. If Li Jie had been even a fraction slower, he might have been blown away by the sudden hurricane.
"She's quite a clever little girl..."
"Let's call it even for today... Next time we meet... we'll settle this once and for all..."
After saying this, a black-robed figure enveloped in eerie divine power kicked open the rickety window frame on the clock tower and fled towards the western border.
"Where are you running to!"
Seeing this, Li Jie's face darkened, and he was about to fly after them on his sword, but Xiao Jue stopped him.
"Brother Li Jie, don't pursue a cornered enemy. Sister Hong's injuries are too severe. If she is not treated in time, her soul and body will collapse!"
Damn!
Hearing this, Li Jie gritted his teeth and looked at the dark figure fleeing into the distance with great resentment.
Then, he mobilized the true energy within his dantian and unleashed a sword strike towards the distant western peak.
"Heaven-Slaying... Sword Drawing Technique!"
Zheng! !
The seven-colored sword light ripped through the void, striking the black-robed figure that was about to disappear into the mist at the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"snort...."
At the border, a hint of anger rose on the face of the man whose face was covered by a black robe.
"It hasn't been long, and this kid already has the means to contend with gods..."
"And...how come his sense of smell is so sharp? He caught up with me so soon after I arrived..."
"Never mind... it's not the right time yet..."
"Let them jump around a little longer..."
After saying this, the man in black robes gave Li Jie a cold look before rushing into the mist.
.........
Ancient city ruins, bell tower.
After making a long, sweeping sword strike, Li Jie flew into the broken window frame above the pavilion.
When he saw the dilapidated, ancient, deep red longsword hovering above the incense burner, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Not only was the sword body covered with cracks, but even the sharp blade was enveloped in runes filled with the power of the netherworld, gradually eroding the soul of the Immortal Trapping Sword.
"Hongmei! Can you hear me?"
Just then, Xiao Jue, who was stabilizing the Absolute Immortal Sword Intent within Li Jie's Qi Sea, disregarded whether the sword intent would go out of control and flew out, looking anxiously at the scarred crimson longsword.
"Little Jue... Sister...."
Upon hearing Xiao Jue's call, a strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the Immortal-Trapping Sword, followed by...
A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in red, whose appearance bore a striking resemblance to Xian'er and Xiao Jue, appeared before Li Jie and Xiao Jue.
However, her figure was so ethereal, and not only that, her divine soul phantom was also covered with streaks of blood, and even the Netherworld runes that had just wrapped around the Immortal Trapping Sword were now wrapped around the woman called Rainbow.
"Is this... a curse?"
Li Jie looked at the Netherworld runes that seemed to cling to his body, and spoke with a furrowed brow.
"No, it's more like deathly energy eroding us."
Xiao Jue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had seen through the trick. She pointed her fingers into a sword and gently swung it, slashing at the Netherworld runes wrapped around Hong Yu's legs.
Upon contact with those icy blue sword lights, the densely packed nether runes melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the warm sun.
Without the runes binding her, Rainbow stumbled and almost lost her balance.
"Sister Jue, all the power I've accumulated over the past hundred years has been taken away by that beast..."
We have to find a way, otherwise that bastard will definitely use the power of the immortal sword to forge an unparalleled divine weapon!
"By then, if we can't return to our peak... then perhaps no one will be able to stop that god wielding divine weapons!"
Upon hearing Hong's words, Xiao Jue simply moved gracefully to her side and supported her swaying body.
"Does it hurt?"
