CHAPTER 763: CHAPTER 686: ASCEND TO THE PEAK 85

Faced with these four formidable Martial Sect warriors, Shuangshuang was unsure if she could triumph. To avoid danger for Lu Tianyi and others, Shuangshuang directly activated the defense mechanisms of the Flying Heaven Palace, shielding Lu Tianyi and others.

At the same time, Shuangshuang left the Flying Heaven Palace. Thousand Silk Entanglement encircled her body, with half of the avatars protecting herself and half quickly dispersing, confronting the flying swords of the four Martial Sect warriors. Clearly, despite facing such formidable enemies, Shuangshuang’s combat style was still steadfastly direct.

Even when facing the might of Martial Venerates, she, Shuangshuang, would never retreat even a fraction during battle. This was Shuangshuang’s pride and the unwavering heart of her Martial Arts – advancing unyieldingly, never backing down!

The sword intent of these four Martial Sect warriors was filled with a murderous resolve. Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement collided directly with this intense sword intent in mid-air, creating transparent massive ripples that spread through the air.

The ripples landed silently on the ground, splitting it with a gigantic fissure. They fell upon surrounding massive trees, instantly shredding them into powder. Wherever the ripples passed, everything was quietly dismantled and destroyed.

A standoff ensued between Thousand Silk Entanglement and the sword intent in mid-air. This marked the first time Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement was halted mid-air without delivering a fatal strike!

Shuangshuang did not cease her attack. She controlled the remaining Thousand Silk Entanglement to continue its assault, swiftly targeting the enemies’ necks. However, before it could wrap around, those Martial Sect warriors raised their hands, forming swords with finger gestures, emitting strands of Sword Qi that directly blocked Thousand Silk Entanglement’s attack.

Seeing her second attack thwarted too, Shuangshuang reached for the High-level Storage Stone around her neck, and a crimson longsword appeared in her hand. Named "Red Sun," it was an Earth Rank Lower Grade Magic Artifact.

This Red Sun Sword was once used for many years by Ling Wuchen, Shuangshuang’s master. After becoming a Grandmaster, Ling Wuchen crafted his own Lifebound Spirit Sword and set aside the Red Sun Sword.

Before Shuangshuang went to assist Lu Tianyi, Ling Wuchen specifically came over to give her the Red Sun Sword. Although Shuangshuang had primarily focused on mastering Thousand Silk Entanglement over the years, she hadn’t abandoned the Thousand Layered Sword Technique. Though she hadn’t cultivated Sword Intent, she was at Grandmaster Level.

Now, with all her Thousand Silk Entanglement tied up, Shuangshuang took out the Red Sun Sword, deploying the Thousand Layered Sword Technique against the nearest Martial Sect warrior. At this moment, the Martial Sect warriors were hindered by Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement, which restrained their attack power.

Although Shuangshuang had to divide much of her focus and Spiritual Power to control Thousand Silk Entanglement, she had become accustomed to this high-intensity mental control and Spiritual Power output over the years. Executing the Thousand Layered Sword Technique now, its power was not diminished by simultaneously controlling Thousand Silk Entanglement!

The Red Sun Sword in Shuangshuang’s hand emitted a red, dark glow. In the next instant, she wielded the Thousand Layered Sword Technique, striking swiftly at the closest Martial Sect warrior!

The targeted Martial Sect warrior was unfortunate. He hadn’t anticipated that Shuangshuang could wield the Thousand Layered Sword Technique while Thousand Silk Entanglement was restrained. Additionally, the technique’s power increased with the user’s cultivation level, and he hadn’t expected Shuangshuang’s swordsmanship to be so formidable!

Although it couldn’t compare to his sword intent, he was grappling with the sword intent-filled sword against Thousand Silk Entanglement on one hand, and the sword Qi in his other hand was ensnared by the stealthy Thousand Silk Entanglement. Now, with both hands restrained, all he could do was evade with his legs, unable to counterattack.

Shuangshuang’s attacks were relentlessly formidable. Now, with her cultivation level higher, the Thousand Layered Sword Technique quickly stacked a thousand times, increasingly powerful.

Initially, the Martial Sect warrior managed to dodge, but as Shuangshuang’s attack speed accelerated, and the sword’s power intensified, he gradually found himself unable to evade, forced to divert a portion of his Spiritual Power to shield himself from the Thousand Layered Sword’s attack.

Just as the Martial Sect warrior struggled to resist, he suddenly heard three cries of anguish nearby! Startled, he glanced back, shocked to find that the other three Martial Sect warriors, constantly entangled by Thousand Silk Entanglement, had their necks silently snapped at some point.

It turned out that while the three nearby Martial Sect warriors were ensnared by Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement, they were distractedly observing Shuangshuang’s battle. Their attention gradually split, focusing partly on Shuangshuang and partly resisting Thousand Silk Entanglement.

Unbeknownst to them, Shuangshuang had spared some force before the attack; there were still several inactive Thousand Silk Entanglement avatars. As the three Martial Sect warriors were engrossed in the battle, a few idle Thousand Silk Wrapping Avatars silently coiled around their necks. Before they could react, Shuangshuang had already severed their heads!

As the three Martial Sect warriors fell, Shuangshuang immediately used Thousand Silk Entanglement to toss their bodies into the Flying Heaven Palace courtyard, intending to bring them to the battlefield for thorough examination.

With three companions suddenly dead, the Martial Sect warrior tangled with Shuangshuang was in disbelief. The four were close friends, cultivating Sword Dao together, serving their master together.

Since advancing to Martial Sect level, they had always swiftly slain others; how could someone possibly kill three of them so effortlessly during a joint attack! He was deeply shocked, causing his defense against Shuangshuang’s onslaught to pause momentarily.

In that brief pause, Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement overwhelmed him, instantly seizing control of his limbs. Then, a long, beautiful hand lightly pressed his chest.

The seemingly powerless hand instantly sealed off all his strength, severed his meridians, locked his Spirit Mansion, even closed off his Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, the person who was just a Martial Sect warrior became utterly powerless, akin to a mortal, grasped by that elegant hand and effortlessly tossed onto the hard ground, beside three headless corpses!

The battle ended so swiftly, so incisively with Shuangshuang. Apart from Lu Tianyi, who always believed his benefactor was omnipotent, calmly watching the scene, even having the leisure to mess with the dead Martial Sect warriors’ corpses, the dozen guards of Lu Tianyi were all rooted in shock, mouths agape, staring at Shuangshuang, unable to comprehend.

Despite Shuangshuang’s renowned prowess and her ability to kill Martial Sect warriors beyond her level, these were four Sword Cultivator Martial Sect warriors, each who had comprehended Sword Intent, capable of fighting beyond their level as well! They were dispatched so easily! How could it feel so unreal!
