Chapter 19: Blade Domain Patrol
Feng Yun Wuji was darting through the sky when a vast shadow descended from above, enveloping him. A piercing screech rang out, and as he looked up, he saw a monstrous, fiery-feathered beast, its body stretching over thirty feet, with golden-red eyes, swooping down from the clouds.
As the creature’s long, sharp beak opened, a massive column of fire, over three feet thick, was hurled towards Feng Yun Wuji.
Even before the torrent of flames drew near, the air within a hundred meters seemed to ignite, crackling with the sounds of “pop, pop.”
Had this been the day before, faced with such a formidable creature, Feng Yun Wuji would have only fled or evaded, but now, such actions were unnecessary.
His robes flapped in the fierce wind as he stared intently at the beast, his face an impassive mask.
Just as the raging inferno was about to hit Feng Yun Wuji, he took a diagonal step to the left, sliding his body with the momentum, and the torrent of fire brushed past him.
“Die!” Feng Yun Wuji uttered coldly, his right hand forming a sword-like gesture, slashing diagonally. A hazy white aura flashed through the air, and the beast, spewing flames, flew over fifty meters before a thin line of blood appeared on its slender neck. Then, its neck and head separated, tumbling down from the sky, still spewing flames, while the remaining body, propelled by inertia, glided far before falling.
Blood gushed from the severed neck, the scent of which quickly attracted some bloodthirsty beasts from the snowy forest below. Roars echoed as massive creatures rushed towards the fallen body of the beast.
Dozens of beasts quickly reached the corpse, greedily tearing into it with their mouths. Many powerful beasts also noticed Feng Yun Wuji in the air. A beast covered in long fur, resembling a greyhound, suddenly howled and then, with a stomp of the ground, shot towards Feng Yun Wuji like an arrow.
The death of You Wuxie had always weighed on Feng Yun Wuji’s mind, and now, with these beasts provoking him again, a bloodthirsty impulse surged within him.
“I need to vent,” Feng Yun Wuji declared, brandishing an ice crystal longsword. With the support of his millennia-old power, a pale white sword aura flickered at the tip of the sword. He swooped down from the sky, not avoiding but instead directly confronting the beast…
The roars and screams of the beasts, the sounds of the sword piercing flesh, continued in the snowy forest for several hours. When Feng Yun Wuji pulled the ice crystal longsword from the forehead of a beast towering dozens of feet high, its massive body collapsed, splitting into four parts. Around it lay numerous chunks of flesh, the corpses of the beasts, indistinguishable from one another.
The thick scent of blood in the heart of the snowy forest no longer attracted the simple-minded, bloodthirsty beasts but instead drove them back, deeper into the forest.
Feng Yun Wuji let out a roar towards the sky, his cry echoing through the clouds, unending. Covered in the blood of the beasts, he felt a sense of relief he hadn’t experienced since ancient times, no longer needing to avoid these creatures.
With no specific destination, Feng Yun Wuji, after dealing with the beasts, took his time and found a massive mountain peak. He carved a cave halfway up the mountain, hiding within it, the entrance concealed by vines, closing his senses, not worrying about beasts finding him by scent.
Inside the narrow cave, Feng Yun Wuji sat cross-legged. Outside the entrance, snow vines growing amidst ice and snow swayed in the wind and snow. Beyond was a cliff hundreds of feet high, a cold and desolate world in silver, but all this was irrelevant to the small world inside the cave. The Nine Turns of Life and Death Xuan Gong circulated, transforming powerful ice true qi into the qi he needed. Although swift, the power accumulated over millions of years was extraordinary, and even with the characteristics of the Nine Turns of Life and Death Xuan Gong, it could not be digested all at once.
The circulation of qi did not require mental control and could operate on its own. After observing the flow of qi in his body for a while and feeling no issues, Feng Yun Wuji immersed himself in self-cultivation, beginning to practice the Mind Sword Body Dafa.
The second level of the second heaven of the Mind Sword Body Dafa, the Heavenly Demon Sword. Ancient and obscure words flowed through Feng Yun Wuji’s heart, but he only browsed halfway through before feeling the qi in his body becoming restless, flowing along an unfamiliar path, a subtle feeling enveloping his heart. Feng Yun Wuji felt as if he had grasped some kind of magical power.
A massive sword intent gathered in his heart, growing stronger and stronger, until even self-cultivation had to be stopped. The vibration of his body intensified, and Feng Yun Wuji felt a strong urge to strike.
“No good, my mental power has surged, not obtained through cultivation. My mind is not concentrated enough to control such strong sword intent… The creator of the Mind Sword Body Dafa is too formidable. I thought that with the power of millions of years, it would be enough to control it, but I didn’t expect that the Mind Sword Body Dafa demands more from the mind than from power. No wonder it’s called ‘Mind’.” Feng Yun Wuji’s thoughts raced.
Outside the mountain where Feng Yun Wuji was hiding, ice layers fell, and the entire mountain seemed on the verge of collapse. Just as Feng Yun Wuji was about to be unable to suppress the sword intent, a powerful aura swept in from the east, continuous and boundless like the tide and the ocean.
“Sword Qi!” Feng Yun Wuji was no stranger to this powerful aura; it was something only those who had reached a terrifying level in the Dao of the Sword could emit. The powerful sword qi swept over like tidal waves, seemingly changing the color of the sky.
The sword intent in Feng Yun Wuji’s body exploded under the temptation of the sword qi, unmatched sword qi rushing into the clouds, meeting the unmatched sword intent. The sword intent and sword qi fought fiercely and brutally in the void.
With the suppression of the sword qi, Feng Yun Wuji finally subdued the massive sword intent, and the sword intent that had changed the color of the void in an instant disappeared without a trace.
Feng Yun Wuji opened his eyes, and in front of him, a giant of eight feet was quietly looking at him, wearing a long robe with the words ‘Dao Domain’ embroidered in silver thread on the chest. Below the ancient seal script were a golden knife.
“Who are you? Why are you here? Have you seen a man in a black robe passing by here?” the giant asked, with a natural arrogance in his voice.
Feng Yun Wuji understood that this person was the one who had emitted the unmatched sword qi.
“I have been cultivating here and have not seen any suspicious person. May I ask your name?” Feng Yun Wuji stood up and said. Feng Yun Wuji thought that his power was slightly less than the other party’s, and the position where that person stood was the only exit. Although he was unwilling to talk to him, he did not dare to offend him.
The man’s eyes flashed with surprise, took a closer look at Feng Yun Wuji, and seemed to be quite cautious: “I am the seventeenth patrol envoy under the throne of the Dao Emperor in the Dao Domain. This time, I was ordered to investigate the sudden intrusion of people from the Demon Domain into the Dao Domain. Are you a guard in the Destruction Hall under the Destruction Dao Master?”
“No.” Feng Yun Wuji did not want to talk too much, and the words ‘Destruction Dao Master’ made his mind fluctuate when they entered his ears.
The man seemed to see something, looked at Feng Yun Wuji up and down, and then said: “In that case, I will take my leave. I hope we will meet again in the future… Brother, I don’t know which disciple you are under the Nan Sheng Dou Ji sect. There is one thing to remember, this is the territory of the Dao Domain, not the Sword Sect? Hum!”
After that, the man shot out and disappeared into the white world.
It was a long time after that man disappeared that Feng Yun Wuji sighed in relief. The man’s sword cultivation was too exquisite. Even though he tried his best to restrain it, the sword qi that leaked out unintentionally had caused the true qi in Feng Yun Wuji’s body to become restless, and he wanted to fight with him, which was very uncomfortable.
“Is this the person from the Dao Domain? So strong sword intent, but why does my sword intent always seem to conflict with his sword qi?” Feng Yun Wuji thought. It was obvious that the man had mistaken Feng Yun Wuji for a disciple of a sword cultivation sect called Nan Sheng Dou Ji. However, Feng Yun Wuji was too lazy to deny it.
He stood up, looked at the vast ice and snow world outside the cave, took a deep breath, and then jumped off the cliff.
Feng Yun Wuji decided to go back to You Ming Peak first, and then go to the nearby Dao Domain to take a look. Not long after he ascended, Feng Yun Wuji had heard the legends of the Dao Domain and the Snow Domain. He wanted to see both places.
He roughly identified the direction, bypassed the direction of the Void Destruction Hall of the Destruction Dao Master, and went to the cave where You Wuxie used to live.
It was completely different from the first time he came here. The first time he was abducted by You Wuxie, Feng Yun Wuji only felt that this place was dead, and although there was a little bit of a figure on the top of the mountain, it was like a corpse, without a trace of human breath. This time, his strength has greatly increased, and the You Ming Peak in the induction is naturally different.
These hundreds of thousands of thousands of feet high ice peaks, each time the whole body is wrapped in a breath, that is the true qi that the cultivator has been cultivated for a long time, and has become one with the mountain.
Feng Yun Wuji closed his eyes, and tens of thousands of breaths of varying strength appeared in his mind. Among these breaths, there were powerful ones far exceeding Feng Yun Wuji, but most were breaths equal to the strength Feng Yun Wuji is carrying at this time. No matter what kind of method each person cultivates, it all carries a strong murderous aura, which is the proof of having blood on their hands.
“You’re not dead!” A familiar voice exclaimed from behind, the voice was very familiar.
Feng Yun Wuji turned around. A familiar face came into his eyes, Feng Yun Wuji smiled: “So it’s you.”
