Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Did I ruin your good deed again, Jiang Qitian!

Bi Bo Pond is a spiritual eye of the Earth Veins nestled within the million mountains of the Northern region.

This specific Earth Vein is associated with water, gathering endless water spiritual energy.

It is the place where Bai Li Yao Sheng has been quietly cultivating.

After being defeated by Xiao Yang, Bai Li Yao Sheng bolted back here.

She intended to draw upon the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy to heal her wounds, but Jiang Qitian tracked her down instead.

“Dragon Clan Inner Pill is a treasure. Hand it over, and I will spare your life, how about it?”

Hovering above Bi Bo Pond, Jiang Qitian eyed Bai Li Yao Sheng with a sinister grin.

Bai Li Yao Sheng is a member of the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Clan Inner Pill is also known as the Dragon Pearl in the cultivation world.

“Jiang Qitian, you despicable hypocrite…”

Bai Li was furious.

“Seems you’re not planning to hand over the Inner Pill willingly!”

Jiang Qitian’s expression darkened, and his gaze turned sharp.

He harbored murderous intentions towards Bai Li.

A chilling murderous aura radiated from Jiang Qitian.

He grasped the hilt of the Qingyang Sword.

Bai Li’s eyes widened at the sight of the weapon in his hand.

An extreme sense of danger emanated from that sword.

It felt as though once that sword was unsheathed, she would be cleaved in two.

She sensed her life was at risk at this moment.

And right now, she was in a weakened state.

Having just had a significant portion of her elemental energy devoured by the Taiyin Dragon Pearl within Xiao Yang, one of her arms was broken, and her energy was severely depleted.

Facing Jiang Qitian, who wielded the Qingyang Sword, she couldn’t help but feel a shiver of dread creeping up from her heart.

This was her instinctive reaction to danger.

“Well then, I’ll just have to take it myself,”

Jiang Qitian sneered.

“So it’s Qingyang Sword…”

Bai Li’s gaze turned frosty as she looked at him.

“Once I seize your Inner Pill, I’ll break into the Holy Realm. Once I become a Saint, who in the North can rival me? Hahaha…”

Jiang Qitian laughed triumphantly.

“People like you wanting to become a Saint?”

Bai Li scoffed.

“Enough chit-chat, I’ll send you on your way!”

Jiang Qitian declared as he drew his sword.

“Clang!”

The Qingyang Sword was instantly unsheathed.

Like a flaming sword light slashing through the void, it swiftly descended upon Bai Li.

A wave of searing sword energy erupted, and the nearby pond water rapidly evaporated, distorting the air around.

This was the Qingyang Sword.

True Yang Sword Qi, akin to divine fire, can boil the seas and scorch the skies.

Even though Bai Li was severely injured, as a demon saint, she wasn’t an ordinary practitioner.

Her reaction was lightning-fast.

A water shield instantly appeared before her.

However, as the sword light passed, the water shield was split in two and fell right above Bai Li’s head.

“…”

Bai Li was astonished.

She never expected Jiang Qitian’s sword to be this terrifyingly powerful.

Jiang Qitian was a Half Saint now.

With the Qingyang Sword in hand, he was invincible below the Holy Realm.

Of course, except for Xiao Yang.

Just as Bai Li was about to be slain by Jiang Qitian, a sword suddenly thrust in from the side.

“Clang!”

The Qingyang Sword was halted.

A tremendous sword force erupted from the opposing weapon, sending the Qingyang Sword flying.

“What…”

Jiang Qitian was both surprised and enraged.

Who dared to sabotage his plans?

He turned to see who it was.

“It’s you again!”

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Qitian’s anger boiled over.

“Indeed, it’s me!”

Standing with sword in hand, the newcomer shielded Bai Li behind him.

It was none other than Xiao Yang, wearing a mask.

Xiao Yang gripped the Futian Sword, coldly gazing at Jiang Qitian.

“Do I have a grudge against you? Why do you keep provoking me?”

Jiang Qitian gritted his teeth, glaring hard at Xiao Yang.

“Seeing injustice on the road, I help with my sword. I can’t stand people like you who preach virtue yet commit evil deeds in secret.”

Xiao Yang scoffed.

“You…”

Jiang Qitian was so furious he nearly spat blood.

“Die, all of you!”

Jiang Qitian went berserk, desperately channeling power through the Qingyang Sword.

“Buzz!”

The Qingyang Sword emitted a clang, and terrifying True Yang Sword Qi erupted, causing the temperature of the entire world to spike rapidly.

Xiao Yang felt as if his inner energy was on the verge of igniting, as if he were in a furnace.

The waters of Bi Bo Pond were rapidly evaporating.

Fog swirled in the air above the pond.

Jiang Qitian recklessly unleashed the Qingyang Sword.

His figure and sword radiated brilliant sword light, almost like a radiant sun descending upon the world.

The very fabric of space trembled.

“This…”

Bai Li was astonished.

Jiang Qitian hadn’t even struck yet, and he already exuded such momentum; what would happen when he truly attacked?

Even in her peak state, she wouldn’t dare claim she could withstand this sword.

The True Yang Sword Qi erupting from the Qingyang Sword was simply too strong.

“Humph!”

Xiao Yang laughed coldly.

No matter how strong Jiang Qitian was, could he compare to him?

What Xiao Yang wielded was the Futian Sword, the personal sword of the ancient Futian Emperor.

In front of the Futian Sword, the Qingyang Sword was nothing.

“Be careful!”

Bai Li gratefully looked at the masked Xiao Yang and then retreated.

At this moment, Jiang Qitian’s hair was turning white at an alarming rate.

In just a blink of an eye, his head of black hair had turned entirely white.

This was a sign of severe energy depletion.

Even though Jiang Qitian possessed a treasure, he was still losing vast amounts of elemental energy to the Qingyang Sword.

Without that treasure, he likely wouldn’t have survived this long without turning into a desiccated corpse, even without Xiao Yang’s intervention.

Suddenly, Jiang Qitian’s eyes burst forth with a fierce light.

The next moment, Jiang Qitian moved, soaring as if a dragon vaulting through the skies, swift as a flash, with his form nearly invisible.

In an instant, he lunged at Xiao Yang.

With unstoppable momentum, the Qingyang Sword swung down upon Xiao Yang’s head.

The air was rent asunder.

It felt as though heaven and earth were being split in two.

The sword energy from the Qingyang Sword exploded like a divine sun.

The earth shook.

This sword had the power to turn the skies dark.

This sword seemed to freeze time itself.

This sword was unstoppable.

Bai Li, who had retreated to a distance, was moved at the sight of this strike.

Could this masked stranger really block it?

“Die!”

Jiang Qitian’s face was a mask of rage.

Even if it cost him all his energy, he still aimed to kill the guy in front of him.

“Clang!”

At that moment, Xiao Yang raised his sword and blocked that astonishing blow.

Countless golden sword lights burst out in all directions.

Where the sword light passed, the stones around Bi Bo Pond were reduced to dust.

The water surface beneath Xiao Yang sank sharply.

The tranquil Bi Bo Pond was stirred into a tumultuous wave.

Xiao Yang was forcibly pushed down by Jiang Qitian’s strike.

“Boom!”

The depths of Bi Bo Pond exploded.

The entire pond detonated.

An endless surge of Earth Veins Spiritual Energy erupted.

Jiang Qitian’s single strike rendered this spiritual eye utterly wasted.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The entire mountainside quaked, and countless creatures scurried for safety.

“…”

Bai Li was both astonished and enraged.

This was her retreat site!

The mysterious figure was indeed no match for Jiang Qitian.

Jiang Qitian wielded the Qingyang Sword.

However, at that moment, an even stronger wave of sword energy exploded from underground.

Then, a figure shot up from the collapsing earth veins.

That person spat out blood and transformed into a streak of sword light that vanished into the cosmos.

A figure emerged from the ruined earth veins.

“This…”

Bai Li looked on in shock.

The one who lost was Jiang Qitian.

The mysterious figure actually defeated Jiang Qitian, who wielded the Qingyang Sword?

How was that even possible?

“Your life-saving grace, Bai Li will never forget…”

Bai Li stepped forward, ready to express her gratitude.

“Are you looking to repay me?”

Xiao Yang interrupted her.

“This… is…”

Bai Li was momentarily taken aback and instinctively nodded.

“I don’t need you to offer yourself in gratitude; just give me a little of your blood!”

Xiao Yang said to Bai Li.

Jiang Qitian had been spying from above Qingyun Mountain, so he couldn’t hide from Xiao Yang.

As Bai Li was fleeing, Jiang Qitian pursued her.

Like a mantis stalking a cicada, Xiao Yang followed Jiang Qitian closely.

Then he witnessed the ensuing spectacle.

Jiang Qitian aimed to kill Bai Li and seize her Inner Pill.

“What?”

Bai Li was stunned, surprised that the mysterious figure wanted her blood?

She was a member of the Dragon Clan; her blood was incredibly precious.

Besides, within the Northern region, and even the entire Yuanwu Continent, she might be the last of her kind.

She typically hid away to cultivate; until she transformed into a true dragon, she had to remain low-key. Otherwise, if others found her, she would be doomed.

Her parents had died at the hands of those people.

If it hadn’t been for her past promise, she would never have left her retreat to kill Long Chen.

Seeing Bai Li hesitate, Xiao Yang added, “I don’t need too much, just ten drops will do?”

“Ten drops?”

Bai Li looked at Xiao Yang, incredulous.

He only wanted ten drops of blood?

“Just ten. I saved your life; demanding ten drops isn’t excessive, is it?”

Xiao Yang gazed at Bai Li.

“Not excessive!”

Bai Li said as she flipped her left hand, immediately producing a small jade vial.

She channeled energy from her right arm’s wound to draw out ten drops of dragon blood, collected them in the vial, and handed it to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang was overjoyed, quickly taking the vial.

This was dragon blood!

With dragon blood, phoenix elixir, qilin marrow, the Enlightenment Fruit, and some other divine herbs, he could refine Feather Transformation Pills.

These were legendary pills that could grant ascendance and immortality.

However, gathering all the necessary ingredients to refine that elusive pill wasn’t a simple feat.

Xiao Yang carefully stowed away the vial containing the ten drops of dragon blood, then shot skyward, leaving like that.

Bai Li hadn’t expected this mysterious figure to leave so soon.

She paused for a moment, ready to depart.

At that instant, a figure descended suddenly in front of Bai Li.

“Is it you guys?”

Seeing the newcomer, Bai Li was struck with terror.

Those people had finally found her.
