Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao
Chapter 926 - 94: The Tragic Fairy
CHAPTER 926: CHAPTER 94: THE TRAGIC FAIRY
The cold wind howled, casting a chill over Zhou Yan’s body, making him feel as though he had returned from Hell to Heaven.
Zhou Yan still felt cold; the wounds from the previous Emperor Fire Yin Qi on his Divine Body still existed, but these didn’t have much of an effect.
After all, Zhou Yan could easily recover from such injuries by performing the Xingyi Rebirth technique, but for other cultivators, such wounds could be fatal.
Zhou Yan recognized the terrifying nature of this Burial Immortal Land, thus becoming even more cautious in his actions.
Therefore, Zhou Yan didn’t heal his injuries deliberately; instead, he retained them, so the enemies might subconsciously think he was not in his best condition, to lull them into a false sense of security.
Although Zhou Yan had previously been confident that he could survive in this Burial Immortal Land, without any Venerables entering, he still felt extremely weak after encountering the attack of a peerless Evil Demon.
This time, being captured by Zhao Yi, Zhou Yan went through a trial of life and death, making his temperament more stable and his actions more prudent.
"I possess thirteen strands of Soul Energy, yet cultivation has become exceedingly difficult. That person, with Ten Thousand Soul Qi, whether his Divine Soul was shattered leading to such a situation, it’s his cultivation of the Soul Path Technique, or truly possessing Ten Thousand Soul Qi? How could someone so formidable and invincible be inexorably locked in this Burial Immortal Land, suffering torment? It’s simply inconceivable.
Just like the powerful Xuanyuan Ancestor, who is but a wisp of Soul Destruction..."
"In the past, the Sword Realm couldn’t touch the level of the Sword Soul due to insufficient own level. Now it seems... is my level also insufficient to contact a higher realm? Master and brother have said, by any means, gain the Divine Soul of the Heavenly Destiny Soul Girl to strengthen oneself. I have no hesitation, but that Soul Woman is in the Abyss Ancient Land, how then, to seize the Soul Body? That Soul Woman appearing in this dangerous land, how could she be an easy target?!"
"Hasn’t that Soul Woman been lured by Master and brother’s methods into the Sword Burial Plane or the True God Plane? For some reason, I arrived early at the Dark God Domain, but this Soul Woman is in the Dark God Domain? Does it mean, due to my experiences, my Master and brother are constantly adjusting the layouts? If so, it shouldn’t escape my sensing of an approaching Immortal-level Divine Soul!"
Zhou Yan was quite puzzled, but as he pondered, he finally could only let out a sigh.
Matters like these, akin to fleeting views in the path of cultivation, can’t be dwelled upon, as deep contemplation only results in entrapment, plaguing the path.
Zhou Yan dismissed his thoughts, deliberately avoiding the ancient Void Sword Mountain and proceeded deep into another meadow.
This is the upper space of the Burial Immortal Land, and Zhou Yan calculated that the dangerous Evil Demon should be within one of those bubble-like spaces, an integral space.
What mysteries lie within Zhou Yan is not aware.
But as he walked through this upper space of the Burial Immortal Land, he didn’t feel that near-death sense of crisis.
Not only that, Zhou Yan actually felt quite relaxed now, finding himself be quite at ease following the prior tension.
Zhou Yan treaded on the Flying Sword, crossing the Void Sword Mountain, he turned back for a glimpse at that region, silently saying in his heart, "Zhao Yi, seeing how diligent you are, you’ve cultivated so much Divine Medicine for me, rest assured, I’ll spare your daughter Zhaoyun a way out as long as she doesn’t keep targeting me over and over—this way, haven’t I been merciful enough? If you know from the afterlife, wouldn’t you feel gratified that I, Zhou Yan, am a person with feeling and righteousness?"
Zhou Yan murmured to himself.
Luckily, Zhao Yi could no longer hear these words; otherwise, if he could hear, he’d surely rise from the dead and curse Zhou Yan, pointing at his nose.
Zhou Yan flew all the way across the prairie, passing through a gorge, and again discovered a hidden Ancient Array accumulating Tai Chu Yin Qi.
This Ancient Array could collect Tai Chu Yin Qi and refine it into Divine energy, equivalent to an opportunity.
But knowing the dreadful devouring effect and terrifying Ten Thousand Soul Ghost Demon, Zhou Yan not only refrained from provoking this Evil Formation, but also steered clear, going far afield.
Flying across the gorge, Zhou Yan descended at the foot of a small hill in a wilderness, and finally walked up this mountaintop by foot.
Because within this hill, Zhou Yan sensed the life force and Blood Qi of cultivators.
...
"Chang Peipei, shout all you want, scream your throat sore, in such a place no one will come to your rescue, better just give up struggling, enjoy a bit, isn’t that preferable?!"
An uncanny cultivator sneered.
"Senior Brother Quan, I never thought you were such a person! I must have been blind to trust you and save you earlier!"
The white-robed female cultivator, who was suppressed, carrying a refined, elegant curved blade on her back, appeared cold, her gaze complicated.
"Hahahahaha, I’ve always been this way, you’re just learning of it today. Well, I won’t say more, just close your eyes and enjoy, my prowess is strong!"
The cultivator named ’Senior Brother Quan’ laughed sinisterly, tearing at the Combat Armor of the female cultivator, Chang Peipei.
Faced with this gap in realm, almost at the level of trampling, the so-called Combat Armor looked like any ordinary attire to a cultivator in the Dark God Domain, limited in its defensive capabilities.
"Ripping sound—"
A piercing noise accompanied by Chang Peipei’s startled scream resounded.
"Tsk tsk, who would have thought beneath your plain chiffon skirt lies such a beautiful sight, not bad, not bad!"
Senior Brother Quan laughed with satisfaction, his hands fiercely extended, biting down.
Chang Peipei let out cries of immense pain.
But after biting it off, Quan swallowed, performing a Restoration technique, causing the bitten-off part to regrow.
"You, you—you deserve a miserable death!"
Chang Peipei yelled in anger, tears of utter humiliation glaring in her eyes.
Senior Brother Quan chuckled malevolently, "Yes, a miserable death, I shall properly ’die’."
Speaking thus, Senior Brother Quan savagely tore off the covering beneath Chang Peipei’s robe...
Senior Brother Quan snickered, "Tsk tsk, seems you’re not as virtuous as I thought, perhaps Senior Brother Tu has played with you?"
"Ah—"
Chang Peipei let out nearly despairing screams...
By now, Chang Peipei was near despair, her face rich with endless shame and blazing hatred. She appeared utterly unwilling to lose her chastity this way, or allow others to defile her, but she was utterly helpless, her eyes fixated on Senior Brother Quan, filled with tears of immense humiliation and fury, hopelessly despairing.
...
Just then, suddenly a golden light descended from outside the sky, bringing a terrifying domain, Senior Brother Quan felt a chill throughout his body, but before he could react, his Divine Soul quaked and was instantly suppressed.
"Pfft—"
Senior Brother Quan’s Divine Soul directly shattered, his body collapsing onto Chang Peipei.
Chang Peipei, in near despair, let out a startled cry, thinking she had lost her purity, but found that Senior Brother Quan on her had become motionless, completely dead.
It was only then Chang Peipei came to her senses, her face showed a sorrowful, mournful expression, tears still welling in her eyes, appearing utterly forlorn.
Her once beautiful eyes welled with tears, full of indignation and burning hatred, as if unwilling to lose her chastity just like that, nor willing to be defiled by others, yet she was completely powerless, only able to fix her gaze on Senior Brother Quan, who was now motionless.
With a bitter, mournful expression, she finally came to herself, and with tears still in her eyes, sent out a Divine Thought to take out a garment of silk Combat Armor, putting it on.
This was in an elegant blue gauze robe, which made her appear delicate and graceful once worn.
But Zhou Yan didn’t glance at her multiple times, instead choosing to inquire, "Miss Peipei, you can shout all you want, but in such a place, no one will come to save you. Why not give up struggling, and enjoy yourself instead?"
A strange cultivator sneered.
"Senior Brother Quan, I didn’t expect you to be such a person! It was foolish of me to trust you and save you earlier!"
The suppressed white-robed female cultivator carried a delicate and elegant curved sword on her back, her face cold, her gaze extremely complex.
"Hahahahaha, I have always been this kind of person, you just realized today. Enough talk, just close your eyes and enjoy this, my skills are powerful, you know!"
Senior Brother Quan laughed sinisterly and tore at Chang Peipei’s beautiful Combat Armor, revealing her skin.
In the face of such an overwhelming difference in Realm, the so-called Combat Armor to a cultivator in the Dark God Domain was just ordinary armor with limited defensive power.
"Rip—"
A harsh sound came with Chang Peipei’s painful scream.
But after biting through, and swallowing, Senior Brother Quan mysteriously exerted a restoration technique, causing what was bitten off to regrow.
"You, you—you!"
Chang Peipei painfully cried.
But Senior Brother Quan, laughing sinisterly, said: "Yes, not dying well, I am going to ’die’ nicely."
Saying this, Senior Brother Quan again brutally tore off what was left beneath Chang Peipei’s robe...
Then Senior Brother Quan jeered, "Tsk tsk, I guess you aren’t as upright as I thought, has Senior Brother Tu already taken you?"
Chang Peipei at this time was nearly hopeless, her face filled with endless shame and blazing hatred, seemingly unwilling to lose her chastity like this, or let others trample over her, yet she was entirely powerless, merely glaring at Senior Brother Quan.
Her beautiful eyes held unspeakable complexity.
At that moment, from the sky outside, a terrifying domain suddenly descended, with Senior Brother Quan feeling a chill throughout his body, unable to resist as his Divine Soul quivered, pulverized in an instant.
"Puchi—"
Senior Brother Quan’s Divine Soul shattered instantly, and his Divine Body also swiftly succumbed to death.
Chang Peipei, on the verge of despair, realized that Senior Brother Quan had already died completely, and stopped moving above her.
Then she realized what happened, her face damp with tears, accompanied by an expression of ultimate sorrow and grief.
She had beautiful eyes, but now they were filled with the endless shame and intense hatred.
She would never want to just lose her purity and be helplessly defiled by others, but there was nothing she could do, staring intently at the motionless Senior Brother Quan on her body.
With an exceedingly tragic and doleful expression, she finally undertook a Divine Thought, bringing out a piece of gauzy Combat Armor and dressed herself.
It was a very elegant green gauze dress, making her appear even more delicate and slender after putting it on.
Yet, Zhou Yan did not glance at her too much. Instead, he inquired, "Miss, what should I address you by?"
However, Chang Peipei, lowering her head, remained silent, not saying a word.
