Chapter 497: All Under Control
Border of Lintang City.
Above the clouds, a massive green shadow swept across the sky, its wings flapping powerfully, stirring up a fierce wind, and in the blink of an eye, it flashed forward several hundred meters.
On the back of that green shadow, Yi Yu’s gaze was alert as he scanned the surroundings, his expression extremely grave.
In the sky, apart from the drifting clouds, there was nothing else.
Zhou Ping seemed to have given up on pursuing them; even as they were about to fly out of the edge of Lintang City, he still did not reveal himself…
Yet even so, Yi Yu did not relax in the slightest, for the unsettling and fearful feeling of a sword hanging over his head still made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Not being able to see Zhou Ping only intensified his fear.
Ding——!!
An invisible sound wave came from behind, and a strand of sword energy instantly pierced through space, striking the left wing of the Wind Vein Earth Dragon!
Yi Yu only felt a flash of white light, and the Wind Vein Earth Dragon let out a painful roar. Just from this strand of sword energy, two-thirds of its left wing had been severed, the cut smooth and clean, blood spraying out.
The Wind Vein Earth Dragon, losing its center of gravity, tilted to one side. Fortunately, the fierce wind supported its body, preventing it from losing control entirely, and it continued to fly forward unsteadily.
Another light sound followed,
The second strand of sword energy whistled in.
Yi Yu turned his head, his face somewhat pale, the black tailcoat on his body billowing in the wind. He extended a hand, and a brilliant and illusory light burst forth from his palm, attempting to envelop that strand of sword energy.
“Nightmare,” Yi Yu murmured to himself.
The illusory light flowed rapidly, and in a daze, it seemed as if one bizarre world after another was born within the light, forcibly swallowing that strand of sword energy.
Standing on the back of the Wind Vein Earth Dragon, Yi Yu let out a muffled groan, his face turning ashen, blood slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth, his nostrils, and both ears…
Using a real nightmare to forcibly swallow this strand of sword energy inflicted great backlash on his body.
The sword energy of the Sword Saint was not so easy to handle.
“Mm?” Zhou Ping’s surprised voice drifted down from the sky as he watched the two speeding figures, murmuring, “Let me see how many swords you can take from me.”
Ding ding ding ding!!!
A series of sword cries swept across the sky, the dispersed sword intent directly tearing the thick clouds along the path into fragments, an invisible killing intent enveloping the entire sky!
Among them, two strands of sword energy actively sliced into that illusory light, shattering it forcefully.
Puff——!
Yi Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his mind feeling as if it had been turned to mush by those two strands of sword energy, his consciousness blurring, unable to even stand steadily.
Black blood began to flow from all seven orifices.
Despair appeared in Yi Yu’s eyes.
There was no escape…
At this rate, there was no escaping!
“Turn back, let’s fight him!!” Yi Yu’s eyes sparkled with determination as he gritted his teeth and spoke.
The Wind Vein Earth Dragon beneath him hesitated instinctively, resisting this command, but under the control of the soul contract, it still chose to turn back, letting out a roar as it charged fiercely toward those strands of sword energy!
“Roar roar roar roar!!”
It opened its mouth, and a green whirlwind brewed in front of it, then surged forth with a dragon’s roar!
【Soul Wind】 caused those strands of sword energy to ripple slightly, but it did nothing to slow their speed. The massive sword energy struck the Wind Vein Earth Dragon’s body, instantly leaving several deep, bloody gashes!
The sword energy rampaged within the Wind Vein Earth Dragon, the excruciating pain making it forget its instinct to fly, its massive body uncontrollably plummeting downward.
Its breath became extremely weak.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ping’s brows furrowed slightly. He stepped through space and arrived beneath the descending Wind Vein Earth Dragon.
Letting such a large earth dragon fall back into the city would inevitably cause massive casualties and panic; he could not allow that to happen…
“Then, let’s cut it down to nothing…”
Zhou Ping gripped the 【Dragon Elephant Sword】, his eyes narrowing slightly. He looked up at the massive earth dragon body falling from the sky, and with a sound of sword ringing, the sword energy surged outward explosively from him.
He raised his hand,
Toward the Wind Vein Earth Dragon above,
And slashed out with a sword!
Countless fine strands of sword energy surged like waves crashing against rocks, instantly enveloping the Wind Vein Earth Dragon’s body. In the thick, mist-like sword energy, blood began to spread at an astonishing speed!
Every dragon scale, every tooth, every claw of the Wind Vein Earth Dragon was like white paper thrown into a shredder, easily sliced into fragments.
The Wind Vein Earth Dragon, equivalent to half a small mountain in size, began to bizarrely dissipate in the air.
Three seconds later, the body of the Wind Vein Earth Dragon had completely vanished.
Blood mist slowly dispersed with the gentle breeze.
Zhou Ping looked up at the other side; under the vast sky, there was no longer any sign of Yi Yu, and his gaze sharpened.
“He actually ran away…”
……
In the manor.
Shen Qingzhu walked through the corridor on the first floor. After leaving the scene of the twelfth seat’s death, she placed the radio on a windowsill, confirming that there was no one else around, and spoke:
“Can you hear me?”
Zzzz…
The radio started up again.
“I can.”
This time, the originally deep and magnetic male voice had disappeared, replaced by a girl’s voice.
Jiang Er could freely control the tone of her voice through adjusting the radio’s magnetic field, simulating anyone’s voice.
“Can Lin Qiye and the others hear it too?”
“Yes, they are right beside me.” Jiang Er paused, “They asked me to send their regards to you, Agent Cool Guy.”
A barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of Shen Qingzhu’s mouth.
“We can catch up later. Have you found out where the third seat is?”
“Next to the underground altar. He has already been seriously injured, and we are on our way there.”
“Seriously injured…” Shen Qingzhu pondered, “What about the ninth seat? You didn’t go after him, did you?”
“He is also on his way to the underground altar. We specifically avoided his route.”
“Good, I’m closest to the underground entrance. I’ll go ahead and act according to the situation.”
Shen Qingzhu set the radio aside and entered the underground passage.
After Zhou Ping sliced open the altar, the entire underground space was in disarray, the air filled with dust, making visibility somewhat blurry.
As Shen Qingzhu descended, she focused on her surroundings. Amidst the hazy dust, the massive gray altar had been cut in half from the center, and at the foot of that altar, a figure stood.
The third seat.
Seeing this scene, Shen Qingzhu’s brows furrowed slightly.
The altar had already been destroyed, yet the third seat remained underground. What did he intend to do?
“Cough cough…” The pale-faced third seat looked at the altar before him, coughed a couple of times, and then noticed the noise coming from the stairs, turning to look.
Seeing it was Shen Qingzhu, his expression relaxed considerably.
“How’s the situation outside?” the third seat asked.
Shen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, “Everything is under control!”
