Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 70: Undying and Unresting

The stone stele had turned completely blood-red.

The color was incredibly deep. The runes on its surface swirled into various strange currents, which then combined to form waves of terrifying Blood Evil aura.

The Blood Evil aura, which had been spreading continuously, now began to give rise to streams of Slaughter Sword Intent.

That Sword Intent contained Lonely Sword Intent and a powerful Destruction Sword Intent.

An ordinary person would almost instantly plunge into it, their soul struggling in unbearable pain. All hope would be extinguished, as if they were enduring myriad tortures.

But at that moment, the Dragon Blood within Ye Tianling surged and gathered.

He focused his Dragon Soul Sword Spirit and Dragon Soul Sword Heart. At the same time, using his Fiery Sun Sword, he mimicked the tree-chopping motion of the blood-red figure and swung his sword.

In that instant, the power, potential, and talent within his body seemed to ignite.

BOOM—

Ye Tianling’s blood ignited, blazing like flames.

The aura of the Samadhi True Fire abruptly converged into the Fiery Sun Sword.

A pillar of crimson light erupted from the Fiery Sun Sword, forming an indescribable aura of destruction.

SHLICK—

Ye Tianling mimicked the tree-chopping motion and slashed out with his sword.

The image of the woman on the Ancient Stone Stele, the one who seemed to have a severed arm and blind eyes, suddenly lowered her head. Her hollow, blood-red eyes stared silently at Ye Tianling.

Then, her eyes dimmed. She withdrew all her Blood Evil killing intent, and a look of profound relief appeared in her eyes.

CRACK—

Another crisp sound rang out.

The two sounds merged into one, and the Ancient Stone Stele reverted to its original state.

Then, the stele broke in two right down the middle and tumbled down.

With a HUM, all the blood-red light on the Sword Enlightenment Platform shuddered and turned into crimson dust, then into faint red particles, before finally dissipating into the void.

PFFT—

Ye Tianling’s qi and blood were completely depleted and his ears were ringing, but his aura remained terrifyingly intense, as if he had descended into a state of utter madness.

"This is bad! The Demon has broken free!"

Xiao Zhengnan’s face paled in horror. He almost instantly activated his Blood Sacrifice Order and sent out a message.

At the same time, Qin Tianzhao also sensed the gravity of the situation and immediately used his Blood Sacrifice Order to send a message to his grandfather, Qin Shuzong.

Ye Shuiyan and Wang Yufei, however, were completely lost in profound shock. They watched helplessly as the Sword Enlightenment Platform, an ancient stele for Dao enlightenment, crumbled before their eyes. Their hearts trembled in shock.

"Now, it’s your turn!"

Ye Tianling grinned savagely, a thin line of blood from the corner of his mouth dangling down over a meter.

But he paid it no mind.

Mimicking the motion of chopping a tree, he slashed his sword toward Xiao Zhengnan.

SHLICK—

How could the heavily injured Xiao Zhengnan possibly withstand such an unparalleled, terrifying killing blow?

Xiao Zhengnan’s body was instantly sliced in two, but a Light of Sword Spirit emanated from him, forming a protective ward.

The Light of Sword Spirit did not counterattack. It simply swept up the two halves of Xiao Zhengnan’s sundered body, fused them back into one, and transformed into a streak of light, shooting off into the distance.

Using this method, Xiao Zhengnan fled the scene, abandoning everyone present.

PFFT—

Ye Tianling was bleeding from all seven orifices, his injuries even more severe.

But he once again mimicked the tree-chopping move, swinging his sword out in a great slash.

That slash was aimed at Qin Tianzhao.

Qin Tianzhao’s eyes widened in utter horror, and he instantly activated more than thirty Guardian Prohibition Talismans.

But the Prohibition Talismans were pierced by a single sword light and all exploded, sending countless nearby disciples flying.

Over thirty disciples, with cultivation only at the Second Level of Sword Essence or even the Third Heaven Realm, were killed by the shockwave.

As for Qin Tianzhao, his body was sliced open by the sword light that had pierced through the Prohibition Talismans. A horrifying gash ran diagonally from his shoulder to his thigh, so deep that his intestines spilled out.

The protection from his many talismans and the defense of his armor were all shattered.

"AHH—"

Qin Tianzhao was on the verge of madness. He screamed and roared, while frantically activating a bloody light to escape using Blood Escape.

That was his trump card, one he had never used before. Even when Xiao Zhengnan fled earlier, he hadn’t wanted to use it. But now, the profound pressure of death forced his hand.

If he didn’t use it, he would undoubtedly die to the next slash!

He was truly terrified. This Ye Tianling appeared to only be in the Sword Essence Third Heaven Realm, but his battle power was too heaven-defying, too ruthless, too strong!

This person was impossible to fight head-on!

Qin Tianzhao fled.

Ye Tianling couldn’t catch him; his opponent was faster and had more trump cards.

Ye Tianling’s gaze fell upon Ye Shuiyan and Wang Yufei.

The two young women’s faces instantly turned pale.

SHLICK—

Ye Tianling viciously slashed at them again.

As he channeled the tree-chopping motion for the third time, Ye Tianling’s qi and blood were completely exhausted. His vision went black, and he nearly collapsed.

But his Supreme Will forced him to stay upright.

’Even if I die, I’ll die on my feet!’

"Bitch!"

Ye Tianling cursed, slashing Ye Shuiyan in half with his sword and heavily wounding Wang Yufei.

The Battle Armor on Wang Yufei had actually blocked the blow.

Ye Shuiyan’s situation was surprisingly the same as Xiao Zhengnan’s. After being sliced in two, she was similarly protected by a Light of Sword Spirit, which fused her two halves back together, restoring her to her original state.

She was bleeding from all seven orifices, her condition obviously miserable. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

However, she didn’t flee as a streak of blood-light like Xiao Zhengnan. Instead, she stood her ground, not retreating a single step.

Wang Yufei coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

After blocking Ye Tianling’s attack, she could barely even stand.

Ye Tianling executed the Kunpeng Free-roaming Body Technique, instantly appearing before Wang Yufei.

HUM—

Ye Tianling seized Wang Yufei by the neck, squeezed hard, and slammed her to the ground.

"AHH—"

Wang Yufei cried out in pain, her neck nearly snapping.

"So high and mighty, but you’re just protecting your own! All that talk of justice and righteousness, calling me a Demon—it’s all hypocrisy!"

As Ye Tianling spoke, his other hand shot out and viciously grabbed her breast, squeezing ruthlessly.

The force was enough to nearly crush it, making Wang Yufei scream in agony again.

Ye Tianling pulled his hand back, took out the forty-centimeter Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod, and thrust it viciously toward Wang Yufei’s lower body.

At that moment, Wang Yufei’s mind roared and went blank. A look of ultimate fear and even despair instantly clouded her features.

Tears couldn’t help but stream from her eyes.

"Vile spawn!"

BOOM—

Just then, a terrifying Sword Soul Power descended with crushing force. An unparalleled suppressive might that could seize the fortune of heaven and earth slammed into Ye Tianling, brutally sending him flying.

Even so, Ye Tianling’s Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod had already thrust forward.

Although it hadn’t fully connected, a shocking trickle of bright red blood was now visible beneath Wang Yufei’s gauze skirt.

The immense Force Qi that traveled through the Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod had ultimately pierced her maidenhood, even though the rod itself had not physically entered.

HUM—

At that moment, Wang Yufei, having come to her senses, thrust a sword directly toward her own brow.

Her purity was ruined, and all her hopes had turned to ash. Compounded by the influence of the Ancient Stone Stele’s Lonely Sword Intent, she had long since fallen into despair.

Therefore, she prepared to transform into the Dao.

"Awaken!"

Another terrifying Soul-Suppressing Sound echoed all around.

Then, the aura of a Sword Soul reverberated in all directions. The voice of the old man who had previously berated Ye Tianling manifested again, and with it, knocked the sword from Wang Yufei’s grasp.

Wang Yufei came to her senses. From her beautiful eyes, tears of blood were now flowing.

"Ye Tianling, this doesn’t end until one of us is dead!"

Wang Yufei said, enunciating every single word.

Her gaze was as cold as eternal ice.

"Cough, cough—"

Ye Tianling coughed up blood, his body weakened to the absolute limit.

Everything he had done up to this point had been on sheer willpower.

Now, having been sent flying by the Sword Soul, he felt that he was truly about to die.

But he had no regrets.

’In this life, if you can’t slaughter to your heart’s content, if you can’t sever the fetters of your heart, if you can’t slay the demons in your mind, then what is the point of cultivation?’

’If death comes, then let it come.’

’Even in death, I must make my enemies suffer, make them feel immeasurable pain!’

And so, Ye Tianling just laughed—a savage, gratified laugh.

He used his Fiery Sun Sword to prop himself up, refusing to fall.

By now, everyone could see his weakness.
