CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 427: 1 PERSON, 1 SWORD, UNSTOPPABLE

The Black-striped Carving’s claw was severed, and just as its roar echoed, not far away, Lu Yuanshan made another move.

Between his two fingers forming a spell, he subtly adjusted the direction of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, striking directly at the Black-striped Carving.

Having underestimated the enemy before, and losing a claw, the Black-striped Carving now saw the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword slashing towards it again, carrying a fierce Sword Qi, cleaving through the air. It dared not be negligent and quickly channeled all its demonic power, gathering it in its mouth.

In an instant, its demonic power brewed and condensed into a small black demon bird’s Dharma Form.

This small black demon bird Dharma Form appeared identical to the Black-striped Carving, imbued with a surge of demonic power, rushing to counter the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, intending to block Lu Yuanshan’s powerful strike.

The power of the demon bird Dharma Form reached the Crystallization Stage, its size was smaller, but it was as if the Black-striped Carving itself launched the attack.

Bang!

The demon bird Dharma Form clashed with the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword. In an instant, the demon bird Dharma Form appeared incredibly fragile and was split by a single sword, not standing a chance against Lu Yuanshan.

This scene of the Sword cleaving the demon bird Dharma Form drew wide-eyed astonishment from the surrounding cultivators.

This was the first time a cultivator had frontally broken through the Black-striped Carving’s attacks.

"Slash!"

With a single sword, the Black-striped Carving’s defenses were shattered, and Lu Yuanshan once again wielded the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, using the Sword Technique One-Line Heaven.

The power of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword surged to its peak, emitting a dazzling azure divine aura, and in the Black-striped Carving’s terrified expression, a sword was slashed toward its head.

The Black-striped Carving instinctively flapped its wings frantically, trying to dodge.

Its massive body, driven by its wings, suddenly rose, narrowly avoiding the sword.

With the missed strike, Lu Yuanshan was not discouraged and was ready to manipulate the Flying Sword to change direction for another attack.

At this moment, the Black-striped Carving hovered in mid-air, spreading its broad wings, with rich crystallized demonic power flowing on them, containing the attribute power of gold, wind, and thunder.

The Black-striped Carving’s Lifebound Divine Technique!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Black-striped Carving’s wings shook, and numerous black feathers shot out, enveloping the sky and diving towards the direction of Lu Yuanshan’s flying ship.

"Not good, quickly dodge!"

This scene instantly caused the cultivators on the flying ship to be startled, exclaiming in shock.

Earlier, when the flying ship’s defensive barrier was intact, everyone wasn’t too worried about the Black-striped Carving’s attack.

But now, without the flying ship’s defensive barrier, how could they resist such an attack?

This was, after all, a Tier Three Demon Beast’s Lifebound Divine Technique, something that the Magical Powers and means of Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators could not withstand.

Clang.

In this moment of crisis, Lu Yuanshan was quick to act, taking out the Jade Water Spiritual Shield from his Storage Bag, and after injecting magical power, immediately erected a cyan shield, extending outward from in front of him.

The Jade Water Spiritual Shield expanded in the blink of an eye, covering more than half of the flying ship, protecting the cultivators on it.

With this move, Lu Yuanshan naturally intended to shield his fellow cultivators on the flying ship.

Additionally, he was concerned about his younger sister and members of the Cyan Mountain Sect like Song Minghui behind him, needing to protect them well.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang.

Countless black feathers violently struck the defensive light curtain of the Jade Water Spiritual Shield, exploding with a series of metallic collisions, dense and loud sounds.

Through Lu Yuanshan’s resistance, he managed to withstand this Lifebound Divine Technique of the Black-striped Carving.

Seeing this, Xu Lingxing and the others discreetly let out a sigh of relief, looking at Lu Yuanshan with a trace of admiration and awe.

"Sect Leader Lu, thank you!"

A cultivator immediately expressed gratitude, knowing that if Lu Yuanshan hadn’t considered their safety, he wouldn’t have used such a defense, choosing instead to protect himself alone.

Lu Yuanshan, focused on the battle, felt the formidable crystallized force within him, unusually excited and eager to fight, and did not respond to the gratitude.

Because at this moment, the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon suddenly launched an offensive.

Seeing Lu Yuanshan, this cultivator of the Human Race, with drastically rising aura and strength, a hint of confusion flashed in the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon’s eyes, making it even more eager to fight.

It activated its massive body, swooping down towards Lu Yuanshan.

Swoosh!

A golden sharp sword sliced across the sky, aiming straight for the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon’s head.

Lu Ping maneuvered the Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman, intercepting the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon’s dive.

Seeing a golden sharp sword suddenly slashing in, the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon didn’t choose to confront it head-on. Instead, it abruptly soared upward, utilizing its nimble speed advantage to evade Lu Ping’s sword.

This strike didn’t go unnoticed by Lu Yuanshan, who quickly realized that it was Lu Ping assisting him. He seized the opportunity, with black and purple light flashing behind him, unfolding the Wind Thunder Wings.

Under the control of crystallized magical power, the Wind Thunder Wings exuded an unprecedentedly potent aura. With a tremor of Lu Yuanshan’s wings, he shot out of the flying ship like a released arrow, charging towards the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon.

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, accompanying Lu Yuanshan’s charge, erupted with dazzling sword aura, stabbing toward the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon with such speed and force, emitting a clear whistling sound as it pierced through the sky.

Facing this sword, the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon wanted to dodge, but the speed of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was too fast for it to evade in time.

It had no choice but to channel demonic power, condensing a small circular barrier to block in front of it.

This small circular barrier, though not big, only about the size of an arm, was extremely strong, capable of withstanding attacks from Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts.

However, when facing the attack power of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, such a terrifying Flying Sword still lacked some tenacity.

Bang.

With a loud crash, the immense power of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword pierced through the small circular barrier’s defense, shattering it into pieces.

Then, this powerful Lifebound Flying Sword, without losing momentum, carried the fierce Ancient Sword Qi as it pierced into the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon’s body.

The azure sword blade, as if stabbing into tofu, penetrated the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon from the front of its chest, piercing through its entire body, trailing a burst of crimson blood.

Screech!

The Sky-Shaking Red Falcon, suffering this fatal blow, couldn’t help but let out a hysterical cry of agony, its life force rapidly draining away.

Struggling mid-air, it flapped its wings a few times before completely losing its breath, plummeting downwards.

Lu Yuanshan, utilizing the Wind Thunder Wings, swiftly flew to the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon’s side, collecting its body into his Storage Bag before it could hit the ground.

This was extremely valuable refining material, of course, it could not be wasted.
