C67 Fighting Combination Under the Lightning Tribe(part III)
Qin Buyi, from the outside, extended his hand and commanded, "Sword, come forth!"
A fragment of the blood-red Killing Saber once again separated and solidified in Qin Buyi's grasp.
Wielding the materialized blood-red Killing Saber, Qin Buyi launched an assault on the thunderous tribulation above.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Slaughter!"
The blood-red Killing Saber, vibrating rapidly, cleaved through the air toward the thunderous tribulation, which took the form of the Thunder Sword for the eighth strike.
"Boom!"
The moment the blood-red Killing Saber touched the thunderous tribulation, it shattered to pieces.
With the Killing Saber in his hand destroyed, Qin Buyi cried out, "Once more!"
The shadow of the Killing Saber beneath the blood moon coalesced into Qin Buyi's hand instantly.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Slaughter!"
He swung the shadow of the Killing Saber at the thunderous tribulation again.
"Boom!"
Predictably, the shadow of the Killing Saber shattered once more.
Qin Buyi's gaze intensified as he bellowed, "Form up!"
The shadows of the Killing Saber, which had been assailing Hong Wanrou, Qi Yun, and the thunderous tribulation, surged into Qin Buyi's hand, merging into a single entity.
Hong Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief as the shadow of the Killing Saber before her vanished, her body already marked with numerous wounds.
Had the assault continued, she might have been gravely injured, if not killed.
The newly formed Killing Saber, radiant as blood, seemed as though it could drip crimson at any moment.
"Shatter!"
The blood-red Killing Saber struck the Thunder Sword with force.
"Clang!"
Against all odds, the shadow of the Killing Saber did not break apart.
The clash of sword against saber echoed with a metallic resonance.
"Crack!"
Cracks webbed across the blade of the blood-red Killing Saber.
The momentum of the Thunder Sword faltered.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Buyi retreated and sped towards the entrance of the Water Moon Secret Realm.
"Clang!"
With a single stroke, the blood-red Killing Saber split the entrance of the Water Moon Secret Realm wide open.
Qin Buyi burst into the realm without hesitation.
Following Qin Buyi's entry into the Water Moon Secret Realm, the shadowy domain and the blood moon outside spiraled out of control and faded away.
After vanishing into the shadowy realm, Hong Wanrou exhaled deeply, relief in her voice. "At last, that oppressive stench of death is gone."
Suddenly, she caught sight of Qin Buyi bursting into the Water Moon Secret Realm and gasped, "What is he up to?"
Qi Yun remained silent, his focus unwavering as he wielded the Taia Sword within his Divine Consciousness, locked in a fierce battle with the Killing Saber, intent on expelling it from his sea of consciousness.
The female disciples of the Water Moon Secret Realm watched in horror as Qin Buyi, radiating lethal intent, stormed in. Their faces blanched.
"Who is this man? Why has he come to our Water Moon Secret Realm?"
"Someone fetch Ancestor Wanrou, quickly!"
"Hmph, barging into our Water Moon Secret Realm, he clearly has no idea what 'death' means."
"Stay calm, with Ancestor Wanrou stepping in, this intruder is nothing to fear."
Little did they know, the very Hong Wanrou they placed their faith in had narrowly escaped death at Qin Buyi's hands moments ago—if they had, their confidence might have wavered.
Qin Buyi's gaze was icy as he looked down and commanded, "Cease!"
His potent Divine Consciousness swept over the female disciples, rendering them unconscious in an instant.
Without hesitation, Qin Buyi soared toward the heart of the Water Moon Secret Realm.
"Moon Water Secret Skill: Mirror Flower Water Moon!"
One disciple, in the early stages of Void Refining, remained conscious and launched an attack at Qin Buyi.
"Foolish move!" Qin Buyi's eyes hardened.
He didn't break stride, his flight unyielding—every second was critical.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the shattered illusion of the blood-red Killing Saber hurtling toward the early-stage Void Refining disciple.
"Whoosh!"
The phantom of the Killing Saber tore through the air with a series of sonic booms, and before the Water Moon disciple could even react, it had pierced her heart.
"Bang!"
A swift execution of a Void Refining Early Period disciple!
The lifeless body of the Water Moon disciple lay with eyes wide open, a look of incredulity frozen in her gaze. She couldn't fathom how Qin Buyi was so formidable that he had slain her in a mere instant.
Qin Buyi reached the center of the Water Moon Secret Realm and retrieved the Secret Realm Core, which floated before him, bathing the area in a spectrum of rainbow light.
The Secret Realm Core hovered in mid-air within the Water Moon Secret Realm, emitting rays of multicolored light. Spiritual energy surged toward it like a dragon drawing in water, and in just a few breaths, more than half of it had vanished from the realm. Accompanied by the sudden depletion of spiritual energy, the Secret Realm began to tremble...
The tremors grew increasingly pronounced, their intensity escalating. Qin Buyi watched as the Thunder Sword drew ever closer. Leaving the Secret Realm Core behind, he turned and flew towards the exit of the Secret Realm. Moments later, Qin Buyi emerged from the Water Moon Secret Realm's gateway, returning to the outside world.
Upon arrival, Qin Buyi reached out to the Killing Saber within Qi Yun's sea of consciousness and commanded, "Retrieve!" With a "whoosh," the Killing Saber, which had been pummeling the Taia Sword within Qi Yun's sea of consciousness, instantly broke free. It hurtled towards Qin Buyi at breakneck speed, growing from the size of a palm to its full stature mid-flight.
With the Killing Saber gone, Qi Yun wiped the profuse sweat from his brow. Despite sacrificing the Taia Sword's spirit and consuming a pill to unlock his latent potential, he remained on the back foot against the Killing Saber's onslaught. Reduced to a defensive stance, opportunities to counterattack were scarce. If the battle persisted, the Taia Sword, crudely fused together, would soon fracture once more. Without it, Qi Yun would stand helpless against the Killing Saber's assault.
Now, with the Killing Saber departed, the imminent threat to his sea of consciousness was averted. Qi Yun admonished himself internally, "Sigh, I mustn't meddle in affairs that aren't my own next time." Interference comes at a price; lacking strength or misjudging an opponent can exact a steep toll. Qi Yun found himself disadvantaged on both counts, not anticipating Qin Buyi's formidable response when cornered.
The moment the Killing Saber was in Qin Buyi's grasp, the Thunder Sword made its swift approach. With the weapon in hand, Qin Buyi spun around, delivering a swift slash towards the Thunder Sword.
"Clang!"
"Killing Swordsmanship: Slaughter!"
"Clang!"
"Killing Swordsmanship: Death Domain!"
Once more, the shadowy realm enveloped the area, ensnaring Qi Yun, Hong Wanrou, and the Thunder Tribulation within its grasp.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Extermination!"
A crimson moon ascended, casting a bloody glow as the phantom of the Killing Saber materialized anew, launching an assault on the Thunder Sword.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Slaughter!"
Empowered by the Death Domain, Qin Buyi went full throttle, brandishing the Killing Saber in a relentless onslaught against the Thunder Sword.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
"Clang!"
The barrage of strikes rang out against the Thunder Sword, emitting a cacophony of metallic clashes.
As the blood moon faded, Qin Buyi remained standing, gasping for breath. The Thunder Sword had vanished, dissipated by his wild barrage.
Regaining control of his breath, Qin Buyi's gaze fell upon Qi Yun and Hong Wanrou. Qi Yun's skin crawled at the sight of the fierce murderous intent in Qin Buyi's eyes. The thought of continuing the battle with this formidable adversary was the last thing he wanted. His opponent had a knack for the unexpected, leaving Qi Yun clueless about the extent of his true power.
Hong Wanrou was even more shaken, her body quivering as dread engulfed her.
"This is bad!"
Her sudden exclamation pierced the air. Qi Yun spun around, concern etched on his face, "What's happened?"
Hong Wanrou's voice trembled, "Uncle Qi, my hold on the Water Moon Secret Realm is slipping away. I fear that in mere moments, I'll completely lose control over it."
