Chapter 169: Sword and Saber Cross, Killing With One Strike!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With a short collision, even the ninth level of the Illumination Realm, Dao Tianzhen, was sent flying. This caused quite a commotion.

After all, although Shen Ran was famous, Dao Tianzhen was not bad either. Moreover, with such a huge cultivation gap, Shen Ran’s sword attack was shocking.

At the same time, Dao Tianzhen, who had been sent flying, stood up. His expression was no longer as calm as before. Instead, he looked at Shen Ran solemnly.

Dao Tianzhen licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but look excited. “It seems that you have some strength to be able to become a Dao Seed.

“Next, let me see how strong you are!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Tianzhen suddenly raised the saber in his hand.

The saber shadow instantly condensed in the sky, and wisps of light gathered in the sky.

As Dao Tianzhen raised his saber, an extremely huge saber shadow also condensed in midair.

The moment the saber shadow condensed, Dao Tianzhen locked onto Shen Ran and swung the saber in his hand.

In an instant, huge saber shadows surged, looking like they were about to split the sky and earth.

A sharp breath mixed with a boundless aura crushed towards Shen Ran like a mountain of sabers.

The moment they sensed this terrifying aura, the surrounding onlookers retreated with fear and looked at Shen Ran.

They wanted to see how he could withstand such a terrifying attack from Dao Tianzhen.

They saw that Shen Ran’s face was calm.

As the saber shadow speedily approached, he swung the three-foot-long green sword in his hand.

“Rumble!”

Suddenly, there was a rumbling explosion in the sky.

With an explosion, the sky was enveloped by dark clouds, but in the shrouded sky, a sword shadow bloomed with dazzling light.

The sword shadow reversed the heavens and the earth, as if they were suppressing all living beings.

With a bang, it started to go downwards.

At this moment, the heavens and the earth were filled with endless phenomena.

The phenomenon surged. Everyone subconsciously held their breath and looked at the place where the sword and saber shadows were about to collide.

They saw that the two attacks collided violently.

In an instant, a bang sounded, and dust filled the sky. The monstrous sword qi spun crazily in this world.

At the same time, everyone could feel the saber aura that was originally permeating the world rapidly fading.

When the dust dissipated, everyone’s eyes widened.

They saw a sword that seemed to suppress everything in the world shatter the saber shadow tyrannically and was about to land on Dao Tianzhen.

“What?!

When Dao Tianzhen saw this, his pupils instantly changed drastically, and his face was filled with disbelief. He stared at the rapidly falling sword shadow, and a dense sense of danger enveloped him from the depths of his heart.

No!!!!

“That’s absolutely impossible!”

At this moment, Dao Tianzhen still did not believe what had just happened.

He did not believe that a mere sixth level Illumination Realm person like Shen Ran could actually shatter his killing move.

However, even if he did not believe it, it was too late.

Under everyone’s gaze, the sword landed on Dao Tianzhen.

Dao TianZhen’s body was split into two. There was still dense disbelief on his two cut faces.

The battle was over.

The battle ended as quickly as it had come.

Everyone looked at the dead body of Dao Tianzhen and did not react for a moment.

The group of cultivators who were originally following Dao Tianzhen were the first to react.

“Run!”

“Even Dao Tianzhen is not his match. We can’t stay here for long!”

When they reacted, the first thing they did was to escape. They had no intention of avenging Dao Tianzhen.

However, as they started to run, they heard a voice that was like a nightmare to them.

“Is it too late to run now?”

This sentence became the last sound they heard when they were alive.

As soon as he finished speaking, their vision blurred. A shadow flashed past, and then nothing.

In the blink of an eye, this group of itinerant cultivators had all died.

“Gulp.”

At this moment, the entire venue was silent, except for the sound of swallowing saliva

When the surrounding cultivators saw this scene, their eyes widened as they looked at Shen Ran. They were even retreating bit by bit, as if they were afraid that Shen Ran would kill them all.

As the person involved, Shen Ran also walked towards the group of disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

After receiving a series of thanks, Shen Ran asked, “What happened? Why are you targeted by this group of itinerant cultivators?”

One of the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect cupped his hands and looked at Shen Ran. “This group of itinerant cultivators deliberately came for us.

“Originally, my fellow disciples and I discovered the aura of many fourth-grade spiritual herbs not far away. We decided to pick them, but this group of itinerant cultivators also came to know of it. Then a huge battle erupted.

“Fortunately, we met His Highness Shen. Otherwise, we would have died here today.”

Shen Ran nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the disciple of the Empyrean Sword Sect said repeatedly, “We picked the spiritual herbs to give to Your Highness. Since Your Highness is here, let’s bring Your Highness along. Someone should have discovered that place.”

Hearing this, Shen Ran could not help but look at this disciple. He had to admit that this disciple was very discerning.

Then he followed the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect and led the two women towards the spiritual herbs.

…

Meanwhile, in a place surrounded by mountains.

Although this place was surrounded by mountains, there was also a path to the valley. However, at the front of the path, there were runes outlined. Under the runes were complicated array formations.

From the array formations, an extremely violent aura kept spreading.

At this moment, the outside of the valley was already filled with cultivators.

These cultivators looked in the direction of the valley and then at the array formations in front of them, their faces filled with helplessness.

“Sigh, I originally thought that my opportunity had arrived. I never expected there to be such a terrifying array formation here.”

“I can sense that there must be a large number of fourth-grade spiritual herbs in the valley. Unfortunately, there’s a huge array formation that we can’t enter.”

“Hehe, everyone, there’s no need to say that. Everyone present knows that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to enter the array formation. However, no one wants to see their natural treasures fall into others’ hands.”

“…”

Discussions kept breaking out. Although they wanted to enter the valley, it was difficult for them to do so.

After all, they did not know the number of natural treasures inside. If they did not get enough to share after entering, it would definitely be a fierce battle. Therefore, they did not break this stalemate first.

Many cultivators looked greedily at the valley from time to time as they rested.

Shen Ran and the others slowly walked over from afar.

The moment they saw Shen Ran, the expressions of these cultivators changed drastically.

“It’s over! Shen Ran is here. We can’t obtain those natural treasures anymore.”
