Chapter 26: The Threat of Death
As Tan Yun expected, Wei Qi was not an ordinary cultivator at the ninth level of spirit embryo realm. The dominant blade spirit technique he practiced was a high-level cultivation method of the spirit embryo realm. With his impressive talent combined with this blade technique, his strength could rank within the top thousand among the five hundred thousand outer sect disciples at the ninth level of spirit embryo realm!
"Primordial Divine Eye!"
Tan Yun suddenly raised his head, his pupils flashing with an eerie red light as he looked up at Wei Qi!
However, after Wei Qi and Tan Yun locked eyes, he was unaffected in the slightest!
Now, Tan Yun's soul power was comparable to that of a cultivator at the ninth level of spirit embryo realm. Although he could not fully control a cultivator at this level with the Primordial Divine Eye, he could at least cause them to fall into a brief state of confusion.
But now, Wei Qi showed no sign of being affected, indicating that his soul was stronger than that of an ordinary ninth-level cultivator!
"Nine Slash of the Overlord Blade—Cutting through Mountains and Rivers!"
"Scrap, die!" Wei Qi sneered, suddenly swinging his sword, unleashing a purple blade aura that stretched for thirty zhang, diving downwards!
"Buzz..."
Where the purple blade aura passed through the void, the air exploded, shaking the surrounding space for a hundred zhang!
The power of this single strike demonstrated the ferocity of the dominant blade spirit technique, moving at an incredible speed.
"Hmph!" Tan Yun let out a cold snort, as golden spiritual power surged around him like a golden war god descending into the mortal realm. He channeled the spiritual power into his longsword and, instead of retreating, leaped forward, bending his legs and propelling himself skyward like a cannonball!
"Kill!"
With a fierce shout that split the snowy skies, Tan Yun swiftly rotated his wrist, and the sword aura surged dramatically, forming a ten-zhang-long golden blade aura that met the descending purple blade aura!
"Boom!"
When the purple and gold auras collided, a storm of spiritual power erupted, spreading out like a pulsating tidal wave in concentric circles towards the lower skies.
In the aftermath of this overwhelming force, the ground within a hundred and fifty zhang trembled like water, displacing the accumulated snow into the air, engulfing Tan Yun and Wei Qi in a flurry of snowflakes!
"Not good!" Tan Yun's heart tightened suddenly!
After the clash of the blade and sword auras dissipated, the purple blade aura actually reformed in the void, instantly striking down above Tan Yun's head!
"Boom!"
At the moment Tan Yun raised his sword to block, the reformed blade aura struck him hard, sending him crashing to the ground!
In the next moment, as the purple blade aura descended again, the low sky trembled and simultaneously conjured seven more blade auras, each thirty zhang long!
Eight blade auras occupied the surrounding space of a hundred zhang, converging downward toward Tan Yun, with each aura's might increasing exponentially, their combined force terrifying, as if containing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!
"Damn!" Tan Yun was alarmed and scared, deploying the Primordial Divine Step. With each flicker of his figure, he crossed a distance of twelve zhang, frantically fleeing a hundred zhang away!
"Boom!"
"Boom..."
The eight purple blade auras descended like a hellish storm, crashing to the ground, instantly kicking up flying sand and stone, and the earth cracked apart.
After Wei Qi landed steadily on the ground, he watched Tan Yun flee in panic and laughed maniacally, "Hahaha, with your speed, you can't escape..."
Wei Qi's laughter abruptly stopped as he shouted in disbelief, "Impossible, you are only at the seventh level of spirit embryo realm; how can your speed be this fast!"
"What do you think, idiot!" Just at that critical moment, Tan Yun dashed out from the edge of the blade storm, then, in a state of disarray, shouted angrily and swiftly flashed back, like a ghost weaving through the swirling dust, charging towards Wei Qi!
