I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 168 Breaking Through the Tribulation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xin Wushuang never initiated small talk with anyone, sitting upright on Wanli's back.

Recalling their last trip to Ironback Mountain, Xin Wushuang moved in front of Jiang Yi and used her body to shield Jiang Yi from the cold wind. However, she forgot that after Foundation Establishment, even if a cultivator does not circulate their energy, their true essence will automatically form a thin layer of protective qi on their body surface, making them unafraid of ordinary wind and snow.

Jiang Yi was too lazy to chatter, so she told Hong Li to go back to the Yin-Yang Fall to devour the demon seed and learn the art of weapon forging, while she carefully examined the magic sword that her master had just forged for her.

The magic sword was hastily forged and, after quenching, reached the level of a low-grade magic weapon. Jiang Yi was very satisfied, since most cultivators in the cultivation world could only come into contact with magic weapons when they reached the late Foundation Establishment stage or even the Golden Core stage.

I originally wanted to name this sword whatever I wanted, like "Green Bamboo Sword," or perhaps take a different approach and name it "Master."

When facing an enemy, she would shout "Master, come!" and while the enemy thought her master had come to save her life, she would stab them right in the kidneys. It couldn't be more perfect.

As a result, her master disagreed, saying she was being silly. After pondering for a long time, he named her sword "Breaking Calamity"!
Green bamboo forms the bones, and metal and earth form the sharp edges.

One sword breaks through the calamity, and all laws are rendered empty.

Jiang Yi naturally understood her master's intention: he hoped that she could successfully overcome the tribulation of her heart's desire.

The entire sword is perfectly formed, as if it were cut directly from a bamboo stalk. It has no guard or handguard, and the hilt and blade transition naturally, flowing smoothly.

The sword hilt retains the original bamboo joint texture of the Qingjin Jade Bamboo, and feels warm and smooth to the touch like jade. At the top of the hilt are the two characters "Po Jie" (破劫), hand-carved by the master.

A bluish-gold bamboo spine pattern runs through the blade, slightly raised, giving the blade greater toughness and making it less prone to breakage.

The blade is formed by bamboo leaves naturally coming together, arranged like fish scales. The edges of the leaves are as thin as cicada wings, and the blade is incomparably sharp. There are fine golden veins on the edge of the blade, which are the traces of Geng metal energy that can only be formed by the Azure Jade Bamboo every hundred years.

Jiang Yi casually swung his sword, the blade emitting a soft rustling sound like bamboo leaves, as clear and pleasant as the wind passing through a bamboo forest.

My master was very meticulous. He made the scabbard from the bamboo tube of the Azure Jade Bamboo and added a 'Hidden Edge' magic array inside. When the sword was sheathed, its sharpness was concealed, and it looked just like an ordinary jade bamboo pole with nothing special about it.

The Breaking Calamity Sword possesses inherent power; its sword energy can transform into a 'green bamboo barrier,' and its sword aura is as heavy as a mountain, cleaving with the force of a mountain pressing down.

The sword blade with bamboo leaf and gold patterns can detach from the body and fly out like rain falling on the Milky Way. The sharp energy of Geng metal can easily break through the protective aura of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Besides the Sword of Destruction, her master also gave her a 'Rock Pattern Silk Armor' and a jade talisman before she left, both of which were things to protect her life.

He never mentioned worry in a single sentence, yet his actions revealed his anxiety.

Jiang Yi temporarily put away the Tribulation-Breaking Sword. After all, it was a magic weapon. Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't detect its aura, he had to be careful that a Golden Core cultivator wouldn't see it and become greedy.

Jiang Yi took out the magic weapon, the Green Vine Whip, and hung it on her waist. She then discovered the "Dragon Whip Technique" that she had kept in her storage belt for a long time.

After a pause, Jiang Yi sighed silently, took out the book, sat behind Xin Wushuang, and opened the manual for the first time.

……

The two sped northward, passing over Jinli City, the outlines of the vast mountains gradually appearing in the twilight.

The setting sun, like blood, illuminated the mountains where the snow had just stopped, creating a somber atmosphere between heaven and earth.

Jiang Yi focused his mind on comprehending the third move of the "Dragon-Binding Rope" in the "Dragon Whip Technique". This whip technique is agile and varied, combining strength and gentleness, and emphasizes skill. It is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is enough to just learn the form.

Suddenly, Jiang Yi's ears twitched slightly, and Xin Wushuang turned around to look behind him almost simultaneously. Wanli, the horse beneath him, also raised its head and let out a sharp cry.

Their eyes met, and they understood each other's situation without saying a word.

Jiang Yi lowered her eyes and swept her gaze across the deep valley below, where cold mist swirled among the layered mountains. "They outnumber us, and air combat is disadvantageous for us. Let's go into the mountains."

Before he finished speaking, Wanli had already swooped down, disappearing into the forest like a gray shadow.

Almost at the same moment, five dark figures emerged from the clouds, and the pressure of the Foundation Establishment cultivators stirred up the wind and snow.

"Chase!"

With a sharp shout from the leader, the five men transformed into streaks of light and plummeted into the mountains.

The fresh snow on the bare branches had not yet fallen, and there was not a trace left in the dense forest. The five people tried to use their divine senses but found nothing.

"Look for each other separately!"

The black-robed cultivator in the lead gave an order, and the four male cultivators immediately dispersed in four directions. They were all early Foundation Establishment stage rogue cultivators, who had been living as outlaws since the Qi Refining stage, relying on murder and robbery and accepting bounties to make a living, and wandering all over the Northern Xuan.

The black-robed cultivator stood still, waiting for others to make a discovery and give a signal before rushing over immediately.

Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind swept in.

The black-robed cultivator's pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively dodged to the side, but he was still a moment too slow. Twelve golden rays grazed his neck like shooting stars, and blood gushed out instantly.

The black-robed cultivator grunted and staggered backward, raising his hand to wipe his palm, which was covered in scarlet blood.

"Who?!"

He shouted sharply, his eyes frantically scanning his surroundings, but he couldn't see a single person, and his divine sense couldn't detect anything either.

Twelve golden-leaf flying knives drew sharp arcs in the air, attacking him once again. The black-robed cultivator immediately activated his protective aura to envelop his body, and sparks flew as the sharpness of the blades collided with his protective aura.

The black-robed cultivator gritted his teeth and summoned a black iron shield. The magical artifact grew larger in the wind and blocked his way.

The golden blade clanged and clattered against the shield, making his arm go numb from the impact.

Before he could catch his breath, a green shadow darted out from the shadows like a venomous snake.

Dragons explore the sea!

The green vine whip struck a single point with lightning speed, slamming into the back of the black-robed cultivator.

The black-robed cultivator groaned as he was thrown several feet away by the immense force, crashing through several ancient trees before barely managing to regain his footing. His protective aura dissipated as a result.

As soon as he looked up, twelve golden leaf knives rained down like a storm, instantly tearing several deep, bone-revealing gashes into his body.

The black-robed cultivator cried out in pain, raised his hand, and shot a firework into the air to signal for others to come to the rescue.

As the twelve golden blades attacked again, a fierce glint flashed in the black-robed cultivator's eyes. He bit his tongue hard and spat a mouthful of blood onto the black iron shield.

The shield suddenly burst forth with a blinding dark light, transforming into a storm of iron sand that repelled all twelve golden leaf blades.

Based on the attack of the twelve golden leaf blades, the black-robed cultivator, with his extensive experience, quickly locked onto Jiang Yi's location.

"Die!"

He grinned maliciously and summoned a crimson fire bead, which was none other than the 'Fire Burning Bead' that could only be refined by a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The fireball swelled as it faced the wind, its intense heat distorting the air, and it looked as if it was about to explode.

Jiang Yi's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly lashed out with her green vine whip!
Dragon Whip Technique - Dragon Binding Rope!
The whip instantly split into dozens of green shadows, which wrapped around the black-robed cultivator's limbs like living creatures.

The fine barbs on the vines pierced into the flesh and blood, frantically devouring spiritual energy. There was also a strange and powerful binding force that made the black-robed man's meridians feel as if they were imprisoned by iron chains, and he could not even move his fingertips.

The Burning Heart Thunderfire Pearl lost control and immediately went silent as it fell to the ground.

The black-robed cultivator was horrified, only to see the twelve golden leaf blades that had been repelled fly through the air again, forming a net that stretched across the sky.

He struggled desperately, but the vines only tightened their grip, draining his spiritual energy like a burst dam.

"slow--"

He had barely opened his mouth when he felt a chill in his throat, and his entire body was sliced ​​to pieces by twelve golden leaf blades.

"Boss!"

The two monks rushed out of the forest in a panic, only to witness a scene that made their eyes widen in horror.

Jiang Yi casually raised her hand, removing the leaf that obscured her view, and the spider lilies adorning her white dress stood out vividly against the snow.

Jiang Yi raised her eyes, and the instant her gaze met that of a cultivator, a strange crimson light flashed in her eyes.

Borrow the law and charm!

The cultivator froze, his eyes losing all their sparkle, leaving only empty obedience.

"kill him."

Jiang Yi parted his lips slightly, and the controlled cultivator was no match for Jiang Yi's divine sense suppression, which was several times stronger than his own. Without hesitation, he turned around, summoned his magic weapon, and attacked his terrified companion.

Amidst the clanging of clashing swords, Jiang Yi leaned lazily against a snow-covered tree, opened a book, rubbed his head with the handle of his whip, and began to learn the fourth move of the "Dragon Whip Technique."

Once the two have determined a winner, they will continue testing their skills.

A cry of an eagle echoed from deep within the woods; Wushuang would take care of the other two.
