Chapter 331 - Surprise Attack

That was where the source films and other resources were stored.

Xuan Yi killed a few disciples who had discovered him. Then, he took the opportunity that the attention was focused on that area.

He waved his long sword and was about to break the restriction on it.

At that moment, two red lights suddenly appeared in front of Xuan Yi.

They blocked Xuan Yi’s attack.

The two people grunted and were sent flying. They were Huo Hua and Huo Rong’er from the Fire Cloud Sect.

“Brother, are you alright?”

As Huo Hua had already been injured previously, being attacked by Xuan Yi’s sword intent at this moment.

His old injury had relapsed and his face was a little pale.

“I’m fine. Make preparations first. This person is very troublesome.”

Huo Rong’er and Huo Hua held their swords and stood there. Immediately after, the rhythm of their breathing and their movements became the same.

If one were to only listen to their voices, only one person’s breath could be heard.

Xuan Yi focused and stayed on guard.

It seemed that Huo Rong’er and Huo Hua were not as cowardly as he thought.

But that was all.

If the two of them wanted to stop Xuan Yi, it was simply a pipe dream.

The two of them took a step forward, and the aura on their bodies suddenly rose.

Even the speed at which their spiritual essence gathered was the same.

“Who are you?”

Xuan Yi couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense. Under the enhancement of sword intent.

The aura around him became more and more terrifying.

Before he even made a move, his sword energy had already covered the bodies of the two.

“I’ll give you a chance. Leave this place, or else.”

Before he finished his words, Xuan Yi suddenly moved.

The extremely cold sword energy shot out abruptly. Although the two reacted in time.

They were still at a disadvantage because of their slow reactions.

The sword intent contained within the sword energy was incomparably sharp, making people not dare to look directly at it.

Just by looking at it, or using their spiritual sense to feel it.

They could feel the piercing pain from their spiritual sense.

Fortunately, before they left, the elders of their Sect gave them a new magic weapon.

It was a pagoda.

The material was completely black, like ink, and the surface was covered with patterns and runes.

There was a faint pressure on it. With one look, one could tell that this was not an ordinary item, and it was a top-tier one at that.

This was something that his master had discovered by chance. Although there were some flaws, it could definitely be considered a rare item.

The pagoda rotated, and as spiritual essence was injected into it.

A majestic aura was emitted from it.

To Xuan Yi’s utmost surprise, the nine-story pagoda actually blocked his attack.

Originally, with the strength of the two, even if they joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to block Xuan Yi’s attack.

Even if they didn’t die, they would still be heavily injured.

Moreover, the current Huo Hua was injured.

The two of them weren’t Xuan Yi’s match.

However, they still survived and didn’t receive the slightest bit of damage.

Huo Hua stood in front of Huo Rong’er, holding the pagoda upright in his hand, and looked at Xuan Yi.

“Who’s this mere nobody? How dare you attack Fire Cloud Sect sneakily. Aren’t you afraid of our revenge?”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Xuan Yi gave a simple explanation of the situation and confronted the other party.

There was still some time left, even if the elders knew of the situation and wanted to rush back.

They couldn’t fly, since fierce beasts might appear along the way.

Naturally, it was impossible for them to rush back so quickly.

Huo Rong’er looked at Xuan Yi’s appearance and found it somewhat familiar.

It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.

“Why do you want to rob the Fire Cloud Sect’s treasury? It seems that your strength is extraordinary. If you don’t mind, you can wait for the Sect leader to return and join the Fire Cloud Sect to discuss important matters together.”

Huo Rong’er directly extended an offer to Xuan Yi. This was also considered a relatively correct decision.

Under such circumstances, she clearly knew that they weren’t worthy as the other party’s opponent, yet if they still wanted to go head-on.

That would mean that they had somewhat lost their mind.

They had to first reassure the other party and stall for time. Otherwise, even if they could block the him for a while.

Both of them would die and go to the netherworld, and it was naturally not worth it.

“Cut the crap. Those who block me will die!”

Xuan Yi naturally knew that they were trying to confuse him, so he simply ignored them.

He held his sword and went forward.

His sword intent soared into the sky, and an illusory image appeared behind him. In the galaxy of the universe, the extremely resplendent meteors immediately glowed with a rare and colorful glow.

Countless meteors seemed to be attracted by it.

The astonishing and vigorous energy gradually expanded.

The dual domains were activated.

“You, you are!”

The siblings recognized Xuan Yi’s identity, but it was too late.

Huo Hua and Huo Rong’er desperately injected their own spiritual essence into the pagoda.

To protect their own safety.

The pagoda spun, bringing with it a magical wave.

A seemingly indistinct barrier appeared in front of the two.

In the next moment, endless flames of the void, carrying a heaven-reaching sword intent, ruthlessly hacked at it.

It was only in the blink of an eye.

The defense had already lost its effectiveness.

The pagoda in Huo Hua’s hand could not withstand the impact of such a huge amount of energy.

It exploded, and the fragments of the tower scattered in all directions.

Xuan Yi’s sword aura did not have the slightest intention of stopping.

Just like that, it pierced through the brother and sister, and the two of them were split into halves by Xuan Yi’s sword.

The sword energy ruthlessly struck the restriction, and a loud boom resounded throughout the valley.

In the next moment, Xuan Yi took out his storage ring straight away. As his spirit essence rapidly circulated, a huge suction force erupted.

The items inside instantly disappeared.

A shocking aura headed towards Xuan Yi’s direction.

Without any hesitation, he used the sword momentum to reverse his body.

The 48,000 apertures exerted force at the same time, and the spiritual essence nodes that were revolving forcefully burst out with powerful strength.

He moved at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yi had already brought the Fire Cloud Sect’s source films in the opposite direction.

Although the terrifying aura behind him was extremely fast, the distance between the two of them was quite far, leaving some distance between them.

Finally, the terrifying Heavenly King stopped and looked angrily in the direction Xuan Yi had fled.

He did not expect a rogue cultivator to launch a sneak attack on the Fire Cloud Sect’s territory while he was overseeing the place.

Although it was not his own Sect, he still felt that he had lost face.

When he arrived at the place where the source films were stored, he was surrounded by scorch marks.

It seemed that this place had experienced a great battle.

Soon after, he saw the corpses of Huo Hua and Huo Rong’er.

He called over a somewhat flustered disciple and said.

“Go and inform your Sect master that a rogue cultivator has stolen all of your source films. The Holy Son and Holy Daughter have also died in the line of duty.”

The other party trembled as he agreed.

In reality, he didn’t want to go. The Sect master of the Fire Cloud Sect was famous for his fiery temper.

He would either beat or scold the disciples around him.

It was not limited to ordinary disciples, even the Holy Son and Holy Daughter were given the same treatment.

If he were to go over and tell the Sect master this news at this moment…

He could imagine how furious the other party would be.

He was afraid that he would be implicated.

It was not impossible for the Sect leader to kill him in his fury.

“A bunch of trash, they can’t even do such a thing.”

One had to know that the people stationed here were not only from the Fire Cloud Sect, but from several Sects.

Hence, the items that Xuan Yi stole were the treasures of several Sects.

However, at this moment, Xuan Yi was still busy running for his life.

He didn’t have the time to check.

After all, he was alone. If he was discovered, and a few Heavenly King Realm cultivators came.

Xuan Yi wouldn’t be able to escape. The most important thing now was to escape first. He couldn’t let the people of the ten great Sects discover him.
