Chapter 88 - The Terrifying Sword Qi

Usually, 20 divine soul pills could only suppress the injury and prevent it from worsening. Grand elder’s injury was so severe that he almost died. One could imagine how badly his soul was injured.

If it wasn’t for his strong cultivation and the healing and spiritual energy from the elders and the sect master of Sword Sect, he would have died long ago.

Now that he had appeared in front of everyone, how could they not be shocked?

“I’ve already recovered a third of my injuries.”

“How is this possible?” Everyone couldn’t believe it. If they wanted to recover, they would probably need a lot of divine soul pills. But now, there were only 20 of them.

Who would’ve thought that Mo Jianming would reveal such shocking news?

“This is not a divine soul pill. It’s a soul-returning pill!”

Even Mo Jianming himself was in disbelief, let alone the disciples. He had never thought that there would be someone in this world who could possess a soul-returning pill.

“Soul-returning pill? What’s that?”

Everyone revealed an expression of disbelief. After all, this kind of pill had already disappeared in the long river of history.

The divine soul pill was derived from the soul-returning pill. However, people only knew the latter and not the former.

If not for Mo Jianming’s vast knowledge and powerful cultivation, he would have probably mistaken the soul-returning pill for the divine soul pill.

“I can’t be wrong. Only the soul-returning pill can have such a powerful effect. I only consumed 20 pills, yet I’ve recovered one-third of my strength.”

“But Jingdu Auction House clearly said it was a divine soul pill.”

“There are very few people who know about this pill. I’m afraid that the people at Jingdu Auction House have also mistaken it. In addition, the two pills are similar. It would be difficult to distinguish them unless we consume them.”

The disciple who had participated in the auction earlier said excitedly, “If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that you only need a dozen more pills to recover fully?”

Mo Jianming’s expression immediately turned serious, “Let’s not worry about this for now. I need to go out for a while.”

The moment he finished speaking, he had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the air. No one knew what he was going to do in such a hurry.

…

On the other side, Ye Xuan was still running for his life. He caught a glimpse of the shadow behind him. He couldn’t help but complain, “I knew that this Hetu and Luoshu Diagram was a hot potato, but I didn’t expect it to be so hot.”

He didn’t expect the powerful old man to catch up so quickly.

No matter how fast this flying magic artifact was, the difference in strength between them was too big. The old man would probably catch Ye Xuan.

The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer Ye Xuan was, and his brain worked like crazy.

This old man was at least sky rank and above. Ye Xuan had collected so many magic treasures before. However, ordinary items were not effective for the old man at all. Moreover, the ones Ye Xuan had bought before were probably useless.

“D*mn it, do I really have to hand over the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram?”

Although the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram was precious and contained the secret of the immortal ascension, nothing was more important than his life. Besides, it was never too late for Ye Xuan to take revenge.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

“I got it, the system reward from earlier!”

Ye Xuan remembered that the system had rewarded him with Three Realms Sword Qi when he completed the mission of consuming supreme-grade spirit stones. However, he was attracted by the mission before he could read the introduction.

“I’ll try it as a last resort. The system’s products can’t possibly be a scam.”

The old man was about to catch up when a dazzling light suddenly lit up. A deep crack suddenly appeared in the sky as if a sword had cut the sky in half.

“What the hell is this?”

The crack grew larger and larger, and the entire sky was split in half. It was as if something was about to come out and break free from the shackles of the firmament.

The old man was dumbfounded. The powerful air current swept over and cut his face like a strong wind. He had no choice but to slow down.

“Humph! Show off!”

The old man didn’t appreciate it at all. He thought it was an illusion created by Ye Xuan. After all, how could a mere level two human rank cultivator create such a huge scene?

Countless spiritual lights gathered in his palm, and a huge ball of light appeared in his hand. “I’ll break through this little illusion of yours.”

The old man flew up and aimed at the crack in the sky.

The next second, something seemed to have penetrated his palm.

“Ah!”

The old man let out a blood-curdling screech. He was almost caught off guard. There was a bloody hole in the middle of his palm, and fresh blood dripped onto the ground. The wound was not big, but it was a shocking sight.

He quickly circulated his spiritual energy to heal the wound, but he failed to do so.

Based on the old man’s current strength, ordinary weapons or moves would not be able to cause any harm to him. It was the first time he had suffered such a wound.

He was shocked. Most importantly, it seemed like something was moving along the wound on his palm and traveling through his body. His meridians were damaged as if they were being cut by a knife.

His face suddenly turned pale, and blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth. He glared at Ye Xuan, who was already far away, and roared, ” I’ll catch you no matter where you are!”

After saying this, he used all his strength to attack.

Ye Xuan only heard the screams behind him and was a little surprised. He didn’t expect the sword qi to be so powerful that it could defeat the old man.

“The things given by the system are great.”

Before Ye Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, the old man’s attack came from behind. He didn’t expect the old man would still have such terrifying power even though he was injured.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The majestic spiritual energy exploded in the air like fireworks, and the heat waves came one after another. The tongue of flame instantly licked Ye Xuan’s clothes.

The old man was a powerhouse above sky rank. By the time Ye Xuan sensed the powerful aura behind him, there was no way he could avoid it.

Almost instantly, the strong air current swept past like a gale, engulfing him with a destructive force.

“Hahahaha!” The old man laughed wildly. “Let’s see if you’re still alive this time.”
