Chapter 473: 473. Divine Sword Tai’a
Li Pei and Yu Yanmei were the first to notice these people.
There were about 500 of them, all clad in the azure silk attire of the Yunxiao Sect.
They set up their guns and loaded their ammunition, ready to open fire!
The master and disciple remained unperturbed, and the next second, Ping An descended from the sky!
It moved so fast its form was a blur, like a vague shadow dashing past the cliff in a flash of lightning!
The Yunxiao Sect disciples had no time to react, only feeling a chill as they looked down to see a huge gash that revealed their innards!
With Ping An’s sharp claws and the lethal feathers on its wings, they were sliced open, and screams filled the air in an instant.
After swiftly sweeping over them, Ping An circled back with a flap of its wings.
This time its movements were even more forceful. With a body slam, it sent two Organ Refining Realm gunners, along with a dozen-ton cannon, flying tens of meters away.
With a single flap of its wings, a Blood-Exchange Warrior spat blood and fell to the ground, unable to rise, with broken bones protruding from his body!
A few quick-witted ones took the opportunity to man their heavy machine guns and madly spray Ping An with bullets;
And a Yunxiao Sect true disciple, who had reached Blood-Exchange and Spirit Refinement, picked up a “Vickers 2-pounder autocannon” and pulled the trigger!
In the roaring gunfire, metal projectiles of various sizes whistled towards Ping An, causing a clinking sound and sparks to fly all around it!
But that was all, as all the attacks were blocked by its feathers.
These feathers were tougher than metal, capable of injuring Innate Realm martial artists even without processing; the enemy’s machine guns and cannons couldn’t breach its defenses.
The 40mm autocannon did seem to hurt Ping An a bit, but it also aroused its ferocity!
Ping An, with a wingspan of 8 meters and a body length of 4 meters, charged forward with a single flap of its wings.
With a deafening crash, eight Yunxiao disciples operating the heavy machine guns, along with various other debris, were struck flying as high as a 10-story building, spewing blood madly mid-air.
A few unlucky ones even screamed as they fell off the cliff.
After that, Ping An turned its attention to the Spirit Refiner manning the autocannon.
Knowing he couldn’t outfly a Spirit Bird, he just kept firing furiously by holding down the trigger.
Unfortunately, this could not change his fate; he was struck by a vicious peck from Ping An, and his upper body was obliterated.
Next, Ping An, caught up in the thrill of the kill, fully awakened its ancient instincts, and under its sharp claws and beak, countless souls were added to the death toll!
In less than 5 minutes, the Yunxiao Sect’s private armed force lying in ambush in the valley was completely annihilated.
~~~~~~~~~~
Li Pei and Yu Yanmei came over to check carefully and confirmed that Ping An was almost unharmed, without a single scratch.
Even the blood of its enemies couldn’t stick to its sleek feathers, which fell away under the force of gravity.
“A Blood-Exchange Realm Spirit Bird this formidable, its frontal combat prowess is no less than that of an Innate Grandmaster,”
“In ancient times, these were great enemies of the Human Race, many towns were destroyed by them. Especially the flying ones caused incredible headaches.”
The duo admired this magical creature in front of them.
Ping An, with its large eyes, looked here and there, finding the master’s spouse quite to its liking.
At this moment, Yu Yanmei commented, “The energy and resources invested in it are like a bottomless pit.”
Li Pei nodded, “The expenditure is indeed unimaginable to common folks, but Lu Yao no longer cares, he treats these three little ones as family. This time he even let us bring this thing out…”
As she spoke, Li Pei opened her collar and pulled out a peculiar Blood Core from her tightly secured bosom.
It wasn’t very large, similar in size to a duck’s egg, but it pulsed as if alive.
“A Duke-level Blood Core…” Yu Yanmei immediately recognized it, “Is this one of those three from the Coalition Forces of the Great Powers’ invasion before?”
Li Pei replied, “That’s right, the lord commanded us to feed it to the Spiritual Sparrowhawk when the time is right. Taking them out this time also includes letting them gain experience.”
“With this thing, reaching the Innate Realm should be within easy reach for the three little ones.”
Yu Yanmei tenderly stroked Ping An, filled with anticipation.
Once a Spirit Bird of Innate Realm produces a Demon Core, who knows what changes may occur.
Thereafter, the two and their feathered companion headed straight to the main hall of the Yunxiao Sect.
~~~~~~~~
By now, less than 20 minutes had passed since they had stormed the sect’s gate.
The Yunxiao Sect had reacted quite swiftly, with Sect Leader Yang Shanji and the Supreme Elder already joining forces to defend against the formidable enemy.
Both of their expressions looked rather grim. The unkind intruders had breached the Sect’s defensive power within just a quarter of an hour and made a direct assault on the main hall.
Yang Shanji had hardly had time to exchange a few words with the Supreme Elder when he saw two women approaching from afar.
Being an Innate Realm cultivator himself, his pupils contracted and he instantly recognized the newcomers, his heart skipping a beat:
“It’s that devil Lu Yao’s women!”
Then his expression turned fierce, “With just two people they dare to come here! They really think our Yunxiao Sect is a pushover!”
He immediately said to the Supreme Elder, “Great-Uncle Master, please try to capture these two women alive later!”
The Supreme Elder nodded without a trace of emotion on his face.
He appeared very old, like a man in his seventies.
Martial artists above the Innate Realm only began to age rapidly during the last 20 years of their lives, so this elder must have been no spring chicken.
But upon closer inspection, one could occasionally see a glimmer of golden light flash across his exposed skin, carrying a subtle sense of “indestructibility.”
This was none other than a Half-Step Golden Body, and also the Yunxiao Sect’s trump card!
~~~~~~~~~~
“It seems that the wealth and treasures looted by the Yunxiao Sect have been spent here.” @@novelbin@@
Li Pei and her disciple Yu Yanmei arrived at a group of buildings that epitomized extravagance, with ornate beams and painted rafters.
This place was a stark contrast to the shantytown at the base of the mountain, reflecting rather poorly on the Sect’s image.
In the distance, Yang Shanji suddenly let out a furious shout:
“Lu Yao dares to take our Yunxiao Sect for an easy target, but he is gravely mistaken!
All disciples, obey my command and, together with the Supreme Elder, capture these two demonesses! Let us set an example for all the heroes in the world!”
[Disciples obey the command!]
Nearly a thousand Yunxiao Sect disciples, led by the higher-ups, arrayed themselves in battle formation, morale soaring.
In their hearts was only their master and Sect, as they believed—the Sect was their everything!
Meanwhile, the Supreme Elder concealed his presence, his aura nearly undetectable, soon to strike with the swift ferocity of a thunderclap, ambushing to seize the enemy!
~~~~~~~~~
The situation was on a knife-edge. Just as Yang Shanji was preparing to command his disciples to engage in combat, aiming to deplete the stamina of the two women, he suddenly saw the opponents pull out something.
The next second, the usually composed Supreme Elder revealed a look of horror, and without saying another word, he turned and fled!
But before he got far, everyone present suddenly felt as though a mountain bore down upon them, about to force them to their knees!
It turned out Yu Yanmei had unsheathed the Divine Sword Tai’a!
The domineering sword radiated a brilliant light, initiating a wave of mental suppression.
The glow grew increasingly brighter, and Yu Yanmei seemed to be holding a column of light that reached up to the heavens, slashing directly towards the strongest enemy detected by her Divine Sense Perception—the Yunxiao Sect’s Supreme Elder!
The old man no longer hid his cultivation; the will of “indestructibility” within him soared to a climax as he bellowed fiercely and broke free from the suppression, his fists exploding through the air with a thunderous strike!
The outcome of such a clash was indeed hard to predict, considering Yu Yanmei was not exerting her own strength but forcefully propelling it with the wish power and Mind Force infused by Lu Yao.
But at the same time, Li Pei also activated the “Imperial Jade Seal”!
The thoughts of the Yunxiao Sect’s people were instantly fixed in place, as if several seconds had been stolen from their lives.
The Supreme Elder, with his profound cultivation, was only momentarily dazed, but it was enough!
Heaven-sent sword light descended, and amidst a boom similar to a muffled thunder, the earth quaked and the mountains shook!
The Divine Sword Tai’a blasted a terrifying trench into the ground nearly a hundred meters long, five meters wide, and ten meters deep!
The Supreme Elder didn’t even have time to let out a scream before he was instantly reduced to fragments, mingling with the countless shards of stone and dust that filled the air.
