Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 186 Assault, True Form Descends, Prelude to Return

Facing these twelve terracotta figurines with six orifices each,

Li Qinghan casually drew the long sword from his waist.

"Buzz—!"

A deep, soul-tearing sword cry resounded from within her, and the purest White Tiger Sword Intent instantly manifested!

This surprised Li Xijun, who was standing to the side.

Compared to the last time he was at the Li family, Li Qinghan's White Tiger Sword Intent has shown significant improvement.

Although not as pure and almost perfect as Li Xijun's killing sword intent.

However, it also possesses the extremely orthodox killing intent of the White Tiger constellation.

"White Tiger Slaying Gods - Seven Kills Breaking the Formation!"

In an instant, a dazzling platinum-gold light suddenly erupted from her center, splitting into seven sword lights in a flash!

Each sword light was interconnected with the others, faintly forming a miniature yet extremely dangerous star-shaped killing pattern—the renowned killing formation sword technique of the White Tiger lineage!

"go."

Li Qinghan parted his lips slightly and uttered a cold word.

The seven sword lights responded and transformed into streams of death, weaving out in a trajectory that contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

They seemed to possess their own spirit, precisely bypassing all obstacles, ignoring the terracotta warriors' hard armor and wielding weapons, each sword shadow finding its way precisely to the core of a terracotta warrior's personal guard.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!..."

A series of sounds of sword light shattering rang out almost simultaneously!

The twelve terracotta warriors, who were about to roar and charge, froze in place.

Their incredibly hard ceramic bodies, capable of withstanding ordinary cuts and chisels, were as fragile as paper before the exquisitely refined platinum sword shadow. Under the killing sword light, the scarlet light in their eyes completely dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, a series of cracking sounds rang out, and the twelve powerful terracotta warrior guards turned into twelve piles of lifeless terracotta fragments scattered all over the ground.

Throughout the entire tomb, only the lingering power of the sword intent, seemingly capable of severing the soul, remained, demonstrating the immense power of Li Qinghan's attack.

Li Xijun, who couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to unleash the Seven White Tiger Seven Killings with this sword formation, secretly made a decision in his heart:

Kim Zang-bong must die!

If he doesn't die, I won't be able to learn the "White Tiger Seven Kill God Slaughter Manual"!

the other side,

Although nearly half of the internal energy was consumed by using this external killing move of the "White Tiger Seven Kills God Slaughter Manual",

The emptiness and weakness made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But in front of Li Xijun,

Li Qinghan, however, maintained her demeanor as a sword immortal, casually sheathing her sword and appearing on the altar in an instant.

This kind of graceful departure after accomplishing something truly inspired Li Xijun's admiration.

The martial arts world should be filled with the elegant demeanor of a white-clad sword immortal like my own sister!

At the same time,

As Li Qinghan approached the central treasure box, he suddenly felt a familiar call from his bloodline.

She unconsciously walked forward and gently touched the Azure Dragon Seal.

The next instant.

The Azure Dragon Seal, which had been dormant for countless years, suddenly emitted a warm yet magnificent azure-gold radiance the moment it was touched by Li Qinghan's fingertips!

On the seal knob, the coiled azure dragon seemed to come alive, a lively glint flashing in its eyes.

A vast, pure energy, brimming with boundless vitality and ancient majesty, suddenly surged from the Azure Dragon Seal, flowing into Li Qinghan's body through her fingertips.

"Um!"

Caught off guard, Li Qinghan let out a very soft groan.

She felt an indescribable, immense warm current rush into her meridians. Its nature was not the sharpness and killing power of the White Tiger's malevolent energy that she was familiar with, but rather it was full of nourishment, growth, and a majestic imperial aura that ruled over all directions.

This energy did not violently clash with her own White Tiger True Qi. Instead, it was like a long-awaited rain after a drought, quickly penetrating into her limbs and bones, significantly strengthening her physique. Her whole body gained vitality, and her fair skin became even more radiant.

Most importantly, a stream of information left by predecessors automatically surfaced in her mind.

This made Li Qinghan sigh softly after looking at it for a long time.

"elder sister?"

Seeing that Li Qinghan had come to her senses, Li Xijun couldn't help but step forward and ask softly.

"How are you? Is anything bothering you?"

"fine."

Li Qinghan reached out and pulled Li Xijun to place his palm on the Azure Dragon Seal.

Instantly, Li Xijun felt a warm current of vitality, full of endless life, flow into his body, continuously strengthening his physique and making him seem younger.

"This is the tomb of an ancient sword emperor, not the tomb of the human emperor that the Great Xia emperor was looking for, nor the tomb of the Night Emperor that she was looking for."

Li Qinghan's expression was somewhat complicated as he said:

"However, according to the information she left behind, there may be clues about the Night Emperor in the Northern Desert. The array on this altar is also a teleportation array connecting to the Northern Desert."

"Thus it is, Venerable Xuanwu was right in the direction he was looking for."

Li Xijun listened to these words thoughtfully.

The Azure Dragon Venerable's goal was the Night Emperor's Mausoleum, while the Great Xia Emperor's goal was the Human Emperor's Tomb, which is why these two disappeared for so long.

It's just a mystery what's in the tombs of these ancient gods and immortals that would attract these two so much, with one of the emperors even giving up his throne.

As he was thinking this, Li Qinghan on the other side had already snapped out of her reverie and was reciting a mantra.

"hope Jun, concentrate! Just like before, try to comprehend the 'Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique' within it."

As Li Qinghan finished speaking...

Li Xijun's mind instantly sank into his sea of ​​consciousness. Following the incantation, he circulated his spirit and carefully touched the silent ancient seal.

The expected violent and intense impact, like that of the Vermilion Bird Seal, did not arrive immediately.

On the contrary, after the contact, he felt a gentle, vigorous, and warm current of life, like the sprouting of all things in early spring, slowly flowing out from the seal's body, down his arm, and gently flowing into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Splash..."

Li Xijun's entire spiritual world seemed to be instantly submerged by endless greenery.

A vast, powerful, yet gentle will to live, like a warm ocean, gently enveloped him.

Li Xijun immediately felt like she was back home, experiencing an indescribable sense of comfort and ease.

He easily sensed the true meaning of the Azure Dragon's power to govern life within it.

He "saw" the seed break through the hard soil, sprout its first tender green shoots, struggle upwards in the rain and sunshine, and eventually grow into a towering tree, graceful and spreading like a canopy.

He "senses" the boundless vitality that nourishes all things and harmonizes yin and yang in the breath of plants, as well as the ancient power of time hidden deep within the rings of the tree.

He naturally recalled the Azure Dragon on the World Tree, which possessed an almost immortal and profound Daoist charm—endless life, the cycle of flourishing and decay, and eternal existence!

After an unknown amount of time, the warm torrent gradually subsided, transforming into a gentle stream that nourished the heart.

The Enlightenment Chapter and the External Realm Chapter of the Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique, a cultivation method that possesses boundless vitality, nourishes all things, and is nearly immortal.

It is already clearly imprinted deep in his soul.

This forms a subtle yet striking contrast with the previously obtained "Vermilion Bird Fire Burning Heaven Scripture".

Moreover, the boundless vitality and ancient Daoist charm of the Azure Dragon's true meaning were also deeply imprinted into his soul, transforming into a dragon-shaped rune that echoed the Vermilion Bird rune.

Li Xijun slowly opened her eyes.

He understood and mastered the profound meaning of the "Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique" as if it were instinct, and at the same time, he felt a sense of emotion:

"It truly occupies the eastern part of the body's meridians and acupoints perfectly."

He exhaled softly, his breath carrying a faint, refreshing scent of herbs and trees.

"How is it?" Li Qinghan's cold voice came.

Li Xijun nodded slightly in response, reflecting on the cultivation path of the outdoor section.

"I have gained a lot and have already learned the 'Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique'."

"Well, if we can learn this one, everything else will be fine, but the 'Xuanwu Suppressing the Sea and Covering the Earth Method' will probably require the Xuanwu Venerable's approval."

After glancing at the array on the altar, Li Qinghan put away the Azure Dragon Seal and walked outside.

"Let's go. Since we're out here, I'll take you on a tour and let you challenge the top talents on the various sects' leaderboards."

Li Xijun, who had reaped a great harvest, was also very happy.

The two, in high spirits, had just walked out of the mountain crevice, one after the other.

Just as Li Xijun and Li Qinghan appeared outside and saw the somewhat dim sunlight,

"Sizzle—!"

A sharp, piercing sound, as if it could tear your eardrums, suddenly exploded!

Just as Li Xijun and Li Qinghan stepped out of the rift and returned to the dim light of the outside world,

A white-gold sword light, condensed to its extreme and containing an overwhelming killing intent, suddenly erupted from a dense shadow on the side without warning!

This sword strike was faster than anyone could think of!

The sword light was not grand and magnificent, but extremely sinister and cunning, seizing the perfect moment when the two were most relaxed and their breathing had not yet fully recovered.

The killing intent contained within the sword's momentum had reached its peak, cold, cruel, and resolute in its determination to annihilate all life. It even faintly carried a nascent pressure that could draw upon the power of the outside world, as if it intended to kill the two people instantly with a single sword strike.

"Be careful!"

Li Qinghan's reaction was incredibly fast.

The instant the sword light appeared, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

The "Emperor's Aura Observation Technique" allowed her to detect the deadly crisis a fraction of an hour in advance.

Without thinking, she instinctively shifted half a step to the side, completely shielding Li Xijun behind her.

The longsword at his waist wasn't even fully drawn; it was only half-drawn before being swung out along with its sheath.

"White Tiger Sword Formation!"

Seven condensed white-gold sword lights burst forth instantly, appearing on the sword, layer upon layer, intertwined to protect her and Li Xijun, blocking the attack.

However, how can a hasty defense withstand a well-planned and superior final blow?

"boom!"

The platinum-gold killing sword light slammed into Li Qinghan's sword light.

A deafening roar echoed through the mountain valley.

The violent sword energy and killing intent scattered wildly, cutting the surrounding trees and rocks to pieces.

The seven layers of sword curtains lasted for less than a breath before they let out a mournful cry of despair and shattered inch by inch!

Although the remaining sharp sword energy was greatly weakened, it still penetrated the defense and slammed into the sword that Li Qinghan had blocked in front of him!

"clang!"

With a sharp crack, Li Qinghan was struck as if by a heavy blow. His hand holding the sword trembled violently, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, oozing blood.

A sweet taste rose in her throat, followed by a metallic taste, which she forced down, but a trickle of bright red blood still spilled uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth.

The ground beneath his feet exploded with a deafening roar, and the immense impact sent him staggering backward.

At the same time, she grabbed Li Xijun behind her and, using the force, slammed back into the crevice in the mountain wall she had just walked out of.

"Cough..." After retreating to the relatively safe passage of the mausoleum, Li Qinghan couldn't help but let out a soft cough, his face turning slightly pale.

She quickly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, grabbed Li Xijun, and swiftly flew back into the tomb.

"It's Jin Zangfeng! He actually gave up the path ahead and became a half-step exterior viewer."

This was beyond Li Qinghan's expectations.

Those geniuses who make it onto the Human Ranking are all ambitious, wanting to comprehend the unity of heaven and man, adjust their inner world, and then ascend to the heavens in one step, achieving the most perfect external realm.

Entering the outer realm in the first step is a helpless move for mediocre people. They can only first connect with the secrets of heaven and earth and slowly work together before they can gradually enter the outer realm.

Once you do that, there's no going back; there's no going back once you make a mistake.

But Jin Zangfeng did exactly that.

Even a half-step into the outer realm can already draw upon a trace of the power of heaven and earth for support.

At that time, the quality and quantity of true qi, as well as the understanding and application of martial arts, will far exceed the scope of the Qi Opening Realm, which can be described as a world of difference!

Add to that this premeditated sneak attack... If she hadn't already mastered the "Emperor's Qi Observation Technique" and possessed a Qi perception far exceeding that of ordinary people, the consequences of that sword strike would have been unimaginable.

Outside the rift, a figure dressed in dark gold attire and wielding a long, narrow, white-gold ancient sword also rushed into the tomb and immediately gave chase to the two.

His face was handsome but with a hint of sinister intent. A cruel, cold smile, like a cat catching a mouse, played at the corners of his mouth. The murderous aura surrounding him was almost tangible, causing the surrounding light to distort slightly.

"Your Highness truly lives up to your reputation as the ninth-ranked genius on the Human Ranking. I genuinely didn't expect you to dodge that sword strike."

Jin Zangfeng's admiration grew stronger, and his killing intent intensified.

"It's a pity that I must kill the two of them today, otherwise how can I repay Senior Brother Yin for his help? He offered a generous gift to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion for their whereabouts."

As he said this, he quickly caught up with us.

Li Qinghan channeled a burst of true energy into the altar, holding a half-broken sword in his hand, and whispered:

"I'll stop him. You go into the teleportation array and leave first."

Clearly, she wanted to cover Li Xijun's retreat.

However, Li Xijun did not believe that her older sister could leave through the teleportation array again under the full force of a half-step outer realm martial artist at his peak.

As the altar shone brightly, Jin Zangfeng, who also realized something, flashed away.

They actually adopted a desperate stance, willing to expose an opening to Li Qinghan, and rushed to block the route between the two and the altar.

Such decisiveness and ruthlessness truly befit a top-tier talent.

Under normal circumstances, Li Xijun might have to fight alongside her sister to have a chance to escape.

But

"Although I'm only at the half-step Exterior Realm, I'm still a fish. I'll take this opportunity to go back to the main world."

Li Xijun suddenly made a move, pressing a palm against Li Qinghan and pushing her outside.

He suddenly accelerated and slammed a palm at Jin Zangfeng.

The other party instinctively threw a punch to block, and the moment their fists and palms collided, they both landed on the brightly lit altar.

With a flash of emerald light

Li Qinghan watched helplessly as Li Xijun dragged Jin Zangfeng away and disappeared from the spot.

But when she landed on it and tried to channel her inner energy into it again, it suddenly stopped working.

Clearly, the other end of the formation had been destroyed.

漠北

On a desert,

Li Xijun, who had severed a corner of the stone altar beneath his feet with a single sword strike, leisurely looked at Jin Zangfeng opposite him.

Upon seeing this, the handsome young man opposite him twisted his face in anger and laughed coldly:

"Good! Good! Good!"

"What a deep bond between siblings!"

"I truly never imagined you would go to such lengths for your sister!"

Seeing that he had missed the best opportunity to kill Li Qinghan, he gritted his teeth and said, word by word:

"Kid, I'll show you the cruelest punishments in the world!"

"You'll soon find out what true 'skinning and dismemberment' really means!"

For this,

Li Xijun suddenly smiled.

"What a coincidence, I'm a kind person. At most, I'll torment your soul a little and let you experience the feeling of your soul being exposed to the scorching sun."

As soon as he finished speaking,

His figure suddenly transformed into a golden light and flew into the sky.

While Jin Zangfeng was completely bewildered...

A tall, slender figure suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun and casting a shadow over him.
