“Rumble…”
The sounds of explosion continued, and more rubble fell.
At this moment, Ou Yangming suddenly changed his move. He pointed the divine weapon in his hand again, and countless formation maps seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force. From afar, it looked like a Yin-Yang Fish with Yang in Yin and Yin in Yang was pressing toward the sword-light. A peculiar intent was released and blocked the sword-light with ease. Nonetheless, it was then the cold longsword arrived. It brought with it an indescribably sharp force and directly shattered the formation maps.
“Die!” Yun Lan roared and said with strong killing intent.
.
Seeing such a scene, Ou Yangming chuckled.
He thought to himself, ‘Sword cultivators have remarkable attacking powers, but they’re too rigid and easy to break. The combination of Yin and Yang and their mutual integration is the essence of the great path.’
At this time, many mysterious laws were entrenched in Ou Yangming’s mind. There were the law of Yin and Yang and the law of time. There were long and short laws, large and small laws, as well as illusory and real laws. His mind was in chaos while his body was black and white like a huge Yin-Yang Fish. The young fellow’s left eye emitted a white light, whereas his right eye emitted a black light. One black and one white, one illusory and one real. They corresponded to the great path of Yin and Yang. Illusory and real kept changing.
Yun Lan inhaled a breath of cold air and sneered “No wonder you could fight someone beyond your boundary. It turned out that you’ve comprehended the laws. So what? I have a sword in my hand. Everything is just paper to me. Chop!”
As he spoke, the snow-white longsword dispersed like mists and converged.
In the blink of an eye, the sword-light flashed with black electric arcs!
It stabbed toward Ou Yangming’s chest. The sword seemed to have transcended time and space. It had transcended the laws and was unstoppable.
“Crack!” Following a sound, it directly pierced a hole in Ou Yangming’s heart, but Yin and Yang transformed at this time. The sharp sword-light was slowly absorbed, where it became weaker and finally dissipated.
“This… This is impossible!” Yun Lan let out a strange cry as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing.
He had never thought that the strongest technique he had used would be so easily countered. It would be fine if the other party was a Ruler, but the young fellow was only a Venerable One. This caused him to have the urge to curse out loud.
Yun Lan looked at Ou Yangming bitterly as if he was looking at a huge iceberg. Every time he thought he had seen the iceberg, he would realize that all he saw was a tiny corner of it.
This feeling of powerlessness could make one go crazy!
At this moment, a clear mark was left on Yun Lan’s heart for swords. Ou Yangming’s figure was imprinted in his heart like a nightmare, and it was forever indelible.
The land fell dead silent.
As for the powerful warriors of the Shaman Tribes, they were in disbelief. This scene was like a miracle, causing their hearts to tremble.
It took around 10 breaths for someone to regain his senses. The dim star mark between a powerhouse’s eyebrows lit up as he said with a terrified look, “What… What kind of cultivation technique is that? It can actually absorb attacks. Isn’t it too fearsome?” The person who spoke shook his head forcefully. It was as if a gust of cold wind blew past his body, and his heart could not help but tremble.
The powerhouses looked at each other, wanting to find an answer from each other’s eyes.
Du E looked deeply at the clan master and said in a trembling voice, “Clan Master, this kind of law is actually able to absorb an attack of this level. It’s truly… Ridiculously strong!” Even he would not be able to face this attack with such ease.
Du Xie shrugged and sighed. “Since it’s someone that Senior Brother had set his eye on, how could he be measured with common sense?”
While he said this, his heart was also shaken as if he had heard thunder and lightning.
Big Yellow looked at Lil’ Red and sighed. “It’s not the first time I’ve seen Lil’ Ming use this kind of method, but it’s still amazing. I wonder when I can do the same.”
“You?” Lil’ Red had a disdainful look on his face.
“I’ll be able to do it after a few thousand years of training.” The corner of Lil’ Red’s mouth curled up as he spoke coldly.
When Big Yellow heard him, his expression turned bitter.
In mid-air, Yun Lan felt regretful. He thought to himself, ‘It’s really not worth it to end up in such a situation just for the sword technique manuals.’ He rolled his eyes, and the murderous aura on his body became denser as if he was going to give his all at any moment. His blood vessels seemed to be flowing with magma as his body emitted a bloody aura. He roared loudly, “Fight!” With that, the pure sword intent tore the space around him into pieces.
He bit the tip of his tongue and shouted internally, ‘Blood Flight!’
At this time, he took a step into the interspatial disturbance and turned into a ray of blood light that shot into the distance.
Yun Lan knew that if he wanted to escape from a powerhouse like Du Xie, he had to take a risk and must do it unexpectedly. This was why he escaped into the interspatial disturbance.
“Trying to escape?” Du Xie scoffed.
He raised his right hand, and a layer of mist rolled over from 33 kilometers away. The color of the mists became darker bit by bit.
The mists suddenly turned upside down and condensed into a black palm. It gave off a majestic murderous aura. The lines on its fingers were very clear, but the fingers were different from that of the palm of an ordinary person. They were thinner and longer, and they carried a majestic pressure. They directly extended into the cracked space and grabbed at Yun Lan.
“Faster, faster!” Yun Lan was anxious. He only felt a cold glint piercing his back.
His body had turned into a longsword, and he traveled 500 kilometers in an instant.
He was fast, but the large hand that was formed out of thin air by Du Xie was even faster.
After 10 breaths, the hand pulled Yun Lan out from the interspatial disturbance to the front of Du Xie. Even though the clan master was a good person, once someone threatened the Shaman Tribe, he would not hesitate to turn into a god of killing and shelter his tribe members from wind and rain.
Ou Yangming’s pupils constricted slightly as he thought to himself, ‘This kind of strength is indeed tyrannical. He could even capture someone who had escaped into the void.’
For some reason, he thought of Feng Mu. Back then, the phoenix elder had sent Big Yellow and Lil’ Red into the void to reunite with the young fellow. That kind of unpredictable method was only stronger than that of Du Xie.
“Who sent you?” Du Xie took a step forward and asked with a cold snort.
His voice was not loud, but it exploded in Yun Lan’s mind like thunder, stirring up endless waves.
“Speak now!” Seeing that Yun Lan did not answer, Du Xie added. He already sounded impatient.
“Luo Yang.” Yun Lan thought for a while and sold out the Qiongqi Clan.
“Tell me everything you know. If there’s even the slightest bit of falsehood, I’ll make you wish you were dead! I’m sure you’ve heard of the Shaman Tribe’s methods of torturing people.” Du Xie’s aura was notable. His relationship with the Qiongqi Clan was not that good, so he made sure that Yun Lan told everything in detail. After 15 minutes, the clan master waved his hand and sealed Yun Lan’s Dantian Lake. The sword cultivator was then brought away.
Du Xie raised his head and looked into the distance. He muttered, “The Qiongqis.” His eyes flashed with blood.
After a while, he moved and went to Ou Yangming. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such strength, Lil’ Friend Ou. I admire you.” He said these words sincerely without any pretense.
Ou Yangming nodded and replied with a smile, “You flatter me, Clan Master.” He was humble and polite, and he did not get carried away.
Du Xie laughed loudly and raised his hand to lead Ou Yangming into the Shaman Tribe.
Under everyone’s complicated gazes, Ou Yangming entered the Shaman Tribe. Big Yellow and Lil’ Red followed behind him. They raised their heads very high, and it seemed like they were trying to intimidate the others. The young fellow smiled bitterly and did not say anything else.
Soon, Du Xie and Ou Yangming arrived at a room.
As for Big Yellow and Lil’ Red, they were respectfully brought away by another member of the Shaman Tribe.
There was an oil lamp lit in the room. It was different from ordinary oil lamps. The flame of this oil lamp was golden, flickering between light and dark. There was a mural hanging on the wall. It depicted a 3.2-kilometers-tall Ancient Shaman. He had the sky above his head, and his feet were on the ground. He looked up at the sky and roared as if he was fighting for something. Ou Yangming’s gaze lingered on the mural for 3 breaths before he shifted his gaze elsewhere. He thought that while the room was small, its layout was elegant and reasonable. Besides, it was in the position that faced the heavens, so it seemed like it could raise a true dragon.
Ou Yangming and Du Xie looked at each other and sat. After a while, Du Xie smiled and said, “Lingxuan, a distinguished guest is here. Why aren’t you serving tea?”
Du Lingxuan chuckled. He was very agile. Before long, he took out 2 cups of top-quality Thousand Spirit Tea from the side room. The fragrance of the tea permeated the air, and it looked full and clear. Just by taking in a whiff of the fragrance, one’s exhaustion would be gone.
Du Xue gently rolled up his long sleeves and said in a gentle voice, “Lil’ Friend Ou, quickly have a taste of the tea. This is refined from the essence of plants and trees, and it tastes very good. I usually can’t bear to drink it.”
“Thank you, Clan Master!” Ou Yangming cupped his hands slightly.
Afterward, he shifted his gaze to Du Lingxuan and sized him up seriously.
Du Xie’s ability to read people’s expressions was notable. He smiled and introduced, “This is my grandson, Du Lingxuan.”
“He gathered the luck of the Shaman Tribe and is in a place that raises dragons. His future is limitless,” Ou Yangming praised.
When Du Lingxuan heard this, his eyes rolled around, and he also sized up the first human powerhouse who had entered the Shaman Tribe without any fear. He understood that while his grandfather was easy to talk to, he had a high standard. Very few humans could be regarded by Du Xie as important, and it was even rarer for him to take out the Thousand Spirit Tea. After looking for a while, the young boy felt as if he had seen a bottomless cold pond. He could not fathom Ou Yangming, so he could only look away unwillingly and walk into the side room again.
Du Xie smiled and shook his head. “Lil’ friend, you’re too modest. In the future, as long as Lingxuan can have half of your abilities, I’ll be satisfied.”
Ou Yangming did not know how to respond. He picked up the teacup and blew lightly on it.
He pursed his lips, and instantly, a fragrance filled his taste buds.
At the same time, a warm current emerged from nowhere and grew from his Tianling acupoint. It spread to all parts of his body. All his cells seemed to be soaking in the warm current, making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to open his mouth and moan.
“Not bad, right?” Du Xie did not dwell on the previous topic and asked with a smile.
“Not bad.” Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. He was puzzled, but his heart was calm, and he did not feel annoyed.
Du Xie’s finger gently tapped on the table, and the tea in the cup rippled. “Lil’ friend, do you know about the Ancient War?” He tapped faster and asked in a deep voice.
Ou Yangming’s heart trembled. He did not hide anything and nodded. He looked at the elder with bright eyes, and his mind was focused.
This was what the Bone Dragon in the Long River of Time had told him. How could he not know?
