Chapter 1484: The Sword to Send You Safely on Your Way

“Don’t treat your hair as something more important than your life during a battle!” An Lin roared as he instantly tore through space like a mighty bird.

Kun Peng Travel!

He flashed through the air and appeared before Ye Ling at an extremely startling speed.

Ye Ling immediately drew a green immortal sword from her storage ring.

Her aura transformed again into that of an exceptional sword immortal!

An Lin’s fists were imbued with the power of his divine flame as they compressed the air before him into pancakes before falling upon Ye Ling.

Ye Ling wielded her sword and rooted her feet to the ground as her golden sword intent erupted into the sky like a resolute divine mountain.

Stalwart Mountain!

Bam!!!

An Lin’s fist struck the blade of the sword, but he felt like it had struck an eternal divine mountain instead as his fist came to a grinding halt. Even the ground that had been reinforced to the extreme was cracking open, but Ye Ling didn’t move in the slightest!

A reminiscent expression appeared on An Lin’s face.

He was very familiar with this sword technique.

Some of the spectators outside the drill ground were already letting loose cries of surprise.

“That’s one of the Four Nine Sword Techniques!”

“That’s right, Sister Ye Ling is using the fifteenth Four Nine Sword Technique, Stalwart Mountain!”

“Who would have thought that our Four Nine Sword Techniques could be so powerful? Just the aura from her Stalwart Mountain technique strikes one with a sense of despair with its unbreakable resilience.”

“Sister Ye Ling has already reached the pinnacle in her usage of the Four Nine Sword Techniques.”

All of the disciples were discussing spiritedly among one another. The Four Nine Sword Techniques were available to be learned by all core disciples, so all of them were able to identify the sword technique Ye Ling had unleashed!

However, being able to identify and recognize it was one thing, being able to use it was a completely different matter.

There were eighteen Four Nine Sword Techniques, and the first technique was quite easy to learn. However, the difficulty curve increased drastically with each subsequent technique. There were no more than ten people in the entire Four Nine Immortal Sect that were able to master the fifteenth technique, the Stalwart Mountain!

The dozen or so newbie disciples were astonished by the sight of Ye Ling blocking Sect Leader An Lin’s terrifying punch. They looked down at the nondescript books in their hands that had been given to them by Brother Sun upon their entry to the sect.

The words “Four Nine Sword Techniques” were written onto the cover. These sword techniques were this badass?!

They felt like they were dreaming!

Just as all of the spectators were marveling at Ye Ling’s power, a cracking sound suddenly erupted.

Ye Ling’s body was slightly hunched over, and her sword intent defense finally began to crack open from the overwhelming force imbued within the fist…

“You’re quite skilled in your Four Nine Sword Techniques.”

An Lin praised with a smile as he increased the force behind his fist!

Ye Ling’s expression shifted drastically. Her Stalwart Mountain was still unable to keep An Lin’s fist at bay in the end.

A white mist suddenly began to emanate from her green immortal sword.

An Lin suddenly felt as if his fist had struck thin air, as if the sword in front of him had suddenly disappeared. His fist continued onward, but his entire body was instantly gripped by a sense of danger.

Suddenly, he was unable to detect Ye Ling’s presence.

A green sword projection fell from the heavens, slicing through the clouds and mist.

“Sixteenth Technique, Falling Cloud Slash!”

A clear cry erupted from overhead.

“A little slow.” An Lin pointed a finger upward.

Divine flames converged to form an arrow that instantly pierced through space, drawing a lethal trajectory through the air.

This was his Crimson God Arrow technique.

His arrow was even faster than Ye Ling’s Falling Cloud Slash!

A pained moan sounded as blood splattered through the air.

An Lin shifted his body to the side at the same time, and the Falling Cloud Strike landed beside him before slicing a massive rift into the ground.

When he raised his head again, he saw Ye Ling falling down toward him with a hole scorched into her shoulder. Despite this, she was not flustered in the slightest, and her large eyes shimmered with a dangerous light.

Ye Ling’s immortal sword had already disappeared.

She continued to descend upon An Lin like an injured little bid plummeting from the sky.

An even greater sense of danger welled up in An Lin’s heart. He felt like the ferocious beast he had been fighting this entire time had finally bared her fangs!

A cold light began to increase in size in his eyes.

A silvery-white light lit up the entire dusk sky.

Ye Ling’s long, flowing hair danced behind her as the light of the setting sun elongated her shadow. Her lithe and graceful body fell at an extremely fast speed, and she held a dazzling dagger in her right hand.

An Lin suddenly recalled that night during which Ye Ling had slaughtered a bunch of Return to Void Stage mighty figures in the Falling Dragon Abyss with ease. This was the weapon she seemed to have been using at that time…

It was a sure-kill divine tool! Ye Ling’s power was drastically amplified when she wielded this divine tool!

“Little Ling is finally going to dance.” Xu Xiaolan was quite excited upon seeing this.

She knew Ye Ling better than anyone as Ye Ling had been like a little sister to her for the past several decades.

She witnessed every bit of Ye Ling’s growth, so she knew just how terrifying Ye Ling was when she was wielding her divine tool!

A silvery-white light streaked through the air, sending fear through the onlooker’s heart.

An Lin’s eyes turned snowy white as he used his Divine Inspection Technique for the first time in this sparring match.

Ye Ling posed too much of a threat to him in her current state, so he had to take this more seriously.

Everything appeared to be moving more slowly as An Lin activated his Divine Inspection Technique, thereby allowing him to evade Ye Ling’s dagger strike, and it only managed to slice open a sliver of his sleeve.

Right at this moment, a bolt of Golden Void Lightning shot through the air like a roaring dragon.

Boom!

Ye Ling’s chest was punctured!

Before An Lin had a chance to react, Ye Ling’s body suddenly became insubstantial again.

An afterimage?

In the next instant, Ye Ling appeared behind An Lin, striking out with her dagger at an even more terrifying speed!

However, An Lin’s speed seemed to be slightly superior to Ye Ling’s, and he managed to evade her strike without even turning around.

Ye Ling manipulated the dagger and sent it hurtling toward An Lin again.

All of a sudden, dazzling light flashed, presenting a series of lethal attacks!

She could initiate attacks from any location in this space, from An Lin’s left, right, overhead, or right in front of him. Not only that, but she could also appear from shadows on the ground, her own shadow, An Lin’s shadow, even the shadows of rocks and leaves on the ground…

The entire heaven and earth had been transformed into her abattoir, and she was the goddess of slaughter who was wielding the butcher’s knife within the abattoir!

Ye Ling’s attacks were mysterious and unpredictable, but all of them were extremely lethal.

An Lin had already unleashed his Divine Inspection Technique, but he was still finding it very difficult to keep up with Ye Ling’s speed!

All of the disciples could only see an afterimage flashing from one location to another, as well as a series of frosty, white blade projections. Even though there was a formation isolating the drill ground in which the sparring match was taking place, all of them could still feel the eerie killing intent and bone-chilling frosty aura emanating from within.

“How terrifying! This is Sister Ye Ling’s sword technique to send her opponents safely on their way! Do you see those cracks on the barrier? Those were all inflicted by her sword intent!”

“Even a Dao Integration Stage formation can’t contain Sister Ye Ling’s power? How bad*ss!”

“Sect Leader An Lin is the truly bad*ss one here! Even though he hasn’t retaliated, he has evaded several hundred strikes, and Sister Ye Ling is still unable to inflict a single wound on his body!”

All of the disciples were discussing spiritedly among themselves. Even though they couldn’t see what was going on, they were still getting extremely excited.

As An Lin was evading the dagger strikes, he heard an operative term, and his lips twitched slightly. “Sword strike to send you safely on your way?”

A blush of embarrassment and awkwardness appeared on Ye Ling’s frosty features as she unleashed her relentless barrage of attacks.

An Lin seemed to have understood something. “Missing An Celestial Immortal… Sword to send you safely on your way… Could it be that your dao title and the name of your divine tool are to commemorate my passing and send me safely on my way?”

Ye Ling’s blush deepened, and she pursed her lips as she frantically swung her dagger.

Her expression was basically a silent admission.

An Lin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This was a sure-kill divine tool, but it had such a stupid name!

Had Ye Ling inherited his habit of naming things with whatever sprang to mind first?

Ye Ling’s barrage of attacks suddenly became faster and fiercer, as if she didn’t want An Lin to say anymore!

An Lin chuckled upon seeing this. Ye Ling had clearly fallen victim to his unintentional mind games.

There was a chink in her armor to exploit!
