Chapter 206: 130. The Final Legacy
"Heaven and Earth Phenomenon!"
As the scene within the Inheritance Space presented itself before everyone's eyes, the expressions of the Nascent Soul True Persons in the grand hall suddenly changed.
A genius talent capable of invoking the Power of Heaven and Earth to manifest phenomena at the Core Formation Stage would, if they did not fall, surely become a Nascent Soul True Person in the future.
"Truly, congratulations to the Sword Sect,"
White Ink of the Confucian-Mo Pavilion spoke coldly, "It's just that I don't know why a disciple of the Sword Sect would hinder our actions?"
Shi Ruoyu, the Master of Yin Peak from the Sword Sect, also had a hint of surprise in her eyes, evidently astonished by Liu Ruoxue's sword moves that could evoke a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.
After all, not to speak of the Sword Sect, even the great eight sects had not seen such a genius for many years.
But she quickly concealed all her emotions and simply said, "The Sword Sect acts as it pleases and need not explain itself to anyone."
White Ink didn't expect her to give him no face, and his expression suddenly darkened.
But it was only an instant; after a moment, the shadows on his face dispersed, returning to the sunshine he presented at first: "If that's the case, then I can rest assured."
Shi Ruoyu was taken aback at first and then furrowed her brows.
"Since a disciple of the Sword Sect insists on getting involved in this matter, then if she gets injured or something happens to her, don't blame us."
White Ink smiled smugly.
"After all, that Nascent Soul Magical Treasure is not just a simple Magical Treasure."
In the face of an Outer Domain Demon, no amount of caution was too much, and that was their view.
"..."
Shi Ruoyu couldn't imagine that to deal with a mere disciple, the Confucian-Mo Pavilion would pay such a hefty price. Enjoy new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Inside the Inheritance Space, Liu Ruoxue and Xu Yuan could also feel the peculiar aura emanating from the Mountain and River Painting Scroll.
Both of their faces grew solemn.
"What is this...?"
Liu Ruoxue didn't hesitate to use her mind to drive the two phenomena toward her opponent.
The bright moonrise at sea and the moon fishing in the lake—both moons formed of Sword Intent—suddenly crashed towards the Confucian-Mo Pavilion disciple trapped by the Sword Qi Lake.
Feeling the full might of the Sword Qi, the Confucian-Mo Pavilion disciple simply pointed a finger and then shouted, "Wind and thunder!"
Following his shout, gusts and thunderous power condensed brilliantly between Heaven and Earth.
Then, in an instant, a wind vortex mixed with arcs of lightning took shape and hurtled towards the two mutually reflecting moons.
The two moons trembled silently.
Then, before Liu Ruoxue's disbelieving eyes, they shattered.
Xu Yuan caressed the Treasure-Dropping Coin between his fingers but never found a suitable moment to act.
He had realized that the Mountain and River Painting Scroll was not the true killing move of that young Confucian-Mo Pavilion disciple; the true killing move was the sealed Primordial Spirit strike within.
Indeed, the true purpose of the Mountain and River Painting Scroll was to seal a strike of a Nascent Soul True Person within it and then unleash it when the seal was broken.
Although the Treasure-Dropping Coin had miraculous effects against Magical Treasures, it was not very effective against the hidden Primordial Spirit strike.
Even though the strike was controlled by the Mountain and River Painting Scroll, it was not that simple to bypass the current arc-laden wind vortex and attack the Scroll's main body.
"Fellow Daoist, we must hurry!"
From the conversation with the previously deceased disciple of the Confucian-Mo Pavilion, Xu Yuan had a rough understanding that they were being watched, and to avoid exposing the relationship between Liu Ruoxue and himself.
He pretended not to know Liu Ruoxue and said.
"...Okay."
Although Liu Ruoxue didn't understand his intention, she obediently gave up any further probing and decisively whisked him away, transforming into a streak of sword light and dashing forth.
Seeing the prey within reach about to escape, the Confucian-Mo Pavilion disciple couldn't bear to let this opportunity slip by; his consciousness, through the Mountain and River Painting Scroll, controlled the gigantic wind vortex mixed with blue-purple lightning arcs, pursuing them relentlessly.
"We can't keep running like this. In at most fifteen breaths, we will be caught."
Feeling the breath behind them growing closer, Liu Ruoxue's frown deepened, and her countenance became exceedingly somber.
Even though she had made much progress in her understanding of the Sword Dao, it was still impossible for her to burst forth at a speed faster than a Nascent Soul strike while flying with sword control, especially since she was carrying another person now.
"Wait, let me think,"
Xu Yuan's gaze swept around and quickly found a suitable hiding spot.
"There, do you see that Heritage Stele ahead?"
Xu Yuan leaned against her back and whispered, "Let's go there."
As he spoke, a peculiar color flickered through his eyes.
Hearing his words, Liu Ruoxue didn't hesitate and immediately changed direction, rushing towards it.
But the time lost due to this change in direction also brought them even closer to the following Confucian-Mo Pavilion disciple.
What was originally fifteen breaths now became nine breaths.
The other party seemed to have also noticed their intention, his expression growing even colder.
Using the complex environment of the Inheritance Space to avoid his pursuit?
"Don't even think about it!"
After a cold shout, the speed of the electric vortex also increased substantially.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between them seemed almost within reach.
Eight breaths... Five breaths, four breaths.
And the distance between them and the Heritage Stele was still at least eight breaths away.
Three breaths!
