Chapter 16: A Mother's Child is a Treasure (Part 2)

  "Whoosh——" Under the moonlight, a slender black figure swiftly followed the trail of the celestial bridge's descent, a magnificent arc that seemed to defy gravity. A person was suspended in mid-air, their sword already unsheathed, its icy glow flashing like daylight, devoid of even the slightest whisper of wind, yet enveloped by an aura of extreme killing intent. With a resounding crash, it sliced through the brow of Princess Jincheng.

  Jincheng Princess's figure retreated, and the willow bridge fairy rainbow she swung out suddenly rebounded and struck the black-clothed man's back. The black-clothed man flipped his wrist and held a knife behind him, his move was smooth and complete without any fancy or unnecessary actions.

  "Slam!" The long sword and Xian Ni's welcoming empty strike sent each other flying back, the two figures reappeared and stood firmly on their feet.

  Xiao Si had long since retreated far away, gazing at the newcomer in astonishment and exclaiming: "One Night Seven Times Lang?!"

  Qijie Lang held his long sword upright in front of his chest, gazing at Princess Jincheng and saying: "How wonderful! The Golden Sword Immortal actually has a demonic private daughter!"

  The complexion of Princess Jincheng changed slightly, just now she was so agitated that she didn't notice someone secretly following and eavesdropping, unexpectedly being heard clearly by Ye Qiye the conversation between herself and Xiao Si. If it gets out, whether in the imperial court or in the countryside, or in both the Orthodox and Evil Sects, a shocking storm will erupt in an instant.

  Xiao Siyi had a confused expression, raised her hand to cover her ear and asked loudly: "What did you say? The wind is too strong, I couldn't hear clearly!" While asking, she leaned in closer to Yexi Qiye.

  "Stop pretending, I've made myself clear enough."

  Xiao Si spread his hands and said helplessly: "What kind of bird language are you speaking? I don't understand a single word!"

  "Snap!" The tip of the jade sword burst forth with a brilliant, crystal-like light that flew against the wind, but in an instant it condensed and transformed into a gigantic sword over two zhang long, its entire body transparent and flashing with lightning, crackling with thunder as it shot up towards the sky, fiercely slashing at the crown of the Seventh Young Master's head seven times.

  Qī Cì Liǎng didn't expect Xiǎo Sì to make a move on him without warning, and he was both shocked and enraged. With his long sword, he clashed with Dà Léi's Fú Sword in a narrow alley, the sound of their blades ringing out as they exchanged blows.

  "Bang!" The giant sword shattered into a thousand pieces, like a snow-white, flawless star rain drifting and scattering with the wind.

  "Kill him!" Xiao Si shouted loudly, raising the Great Void Wave Crushing Pagoda and releasing a blood-red toad from inside.

  His wounds had just scabbed over, so he wouldn't be foolish enough to rush up and confront a top-notch expert like the One-Night Seven-Times Gentleman head-on. Instead, he wisely handed over this glorious and arduous task to Princess Jincheng.

  Jincheng Princess, after several days of rest, had recovered about 70-80% of her strength. Upon hearing this, she didn't hesitate and launched two ethereal bridges that advanced simultaneously, weaving a complex web of illusions in the air, resembling an extraordinary array of mysterious gates that enveloped the universe, suppressing all six directions, and directly pressured Yexie Qilang.

  "Come on!" Shi Lang shouted, his entire body bursting with golden light that poured endlessly into the Day and Night Long Sword. The blade's edge transformed from silver to gold, shining brightly like the sun, as wave after wave of dazzlingly beautiful sword light radiated in all directions, leaving a trail of destruction wherever it passed, as if sweeping away everything in its path like a broom clearing dust and dirt.

  "Clang, clang, clang, clang!" In an instant, the Immortal Bridge of Magpies and layers of sharp blades clashed in mid-air over a hundred times. Suddenly, a stormy rain burst forth, and within a radius of thirty feet, the rocks were sliced into a flat, smooth surface like a mirror!

  Shichiro let out a long whistle and charged forward with his hands grasping his sword.

  "Hsss——" The sky was filled with blade tips that transformed into a dense forest of flying blades, shooting towards Princess Jincheng.

  At the same time, the long knife in his hand emitted a bewitching glow, as if it had traversed the vast space in this one swing, its sharp edge pointing straight at the opponent's brow!

  Xiao Si was shocked and exclaimed: "Ni Ma Pi!" In his haste, he unexpectedly learned the evil Moon's catchphrase perfectly, with correct tone and pronunciation.

  He desperately urged the Great Void Buddha's Fury, warping the void to push out the One Night Seven Times Young Master. Unfortunately, his strength was insufficient and he couldn't fully unleash the supreme might of this Buddhist treasure, being crushed and killed by the Day and Night Long Sword's invincible cold edge, without affecting the progress of the battle in the slightest.

  At this moment, Xīao Sì finally truly understood the terror of a top-notch master. Don't look at how he relied on his swindling skills to thoroughly defeat Duàn Lǎo Guǐ, it was all because of the latter's imperfect technique. If he were to run into Yīyè Qīcì Láng, under the opponent's full-force and ruthless attack, he might not be able to last three to five rounds before going to see King Yan.

  "Plop!" A soft and crisp sound, Princess Jincheng's delicate body stood still, her slender fingers slightly exerting force to crush a pale purple jade pendant.

  "Whoosh——" The purple light shimmered like ripples, as if it had opened a door to the void. From that torn gap, a more than twenty-zhang-long majestic and awe-inspiring purple-golden dragon burst forth!

  "This is——" Xiang Xiao Si stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, vaguely recalling the relevant records in "Unseen Handwritten Notes".

  The Golden City Princess actually drew a rare eight-product Taoist symbol "Magic Abyss Rising Dragon Overlord"!

  That purple dragon soaring in the air, exerting its might, was not entirely an illusion conjured from pure energy, but rather a fusion of genuine demonic dragon essence. Once unleashed, it would stir up the winds and clouds of the eight directions, sweeping across the four seas with turbulent waves, almost equivalent to a top-notch master wielding their sword in mid-air, striking down with a single blow.

  It's a huge waste to refine even an 8th-grade Dao symbol from the remaining soul of a demon dragon. After all, this "Magic Abyss Ascending Dragon Overlord" can only be used once, and regardless of whether it can kill a strong enemy, it will dissipate with the exhaustion of spiritual power.

  In contrast, it is easier for treasures like the Great Void Pagoda to gain the favor of a master, as they can be used repeatedly without limit.

  But the Taoist symbol is not completely without its advantages, at least it is not limited by the practitioner's cultivation, even a three or five year old child, as long as they have a few strands of true energy to activate the symbol's seal, can burst out with a terrifying power in an instant. While various immortal artifacts and magical treasures still rely on the master's cultivation realm and accomplishments, for someone like Xiao Si who has just stepped into the observation microcosm, it is often more practical to use Taoist symbols.

  But it's really too expensive!

  Looking at the Eight Trigrams Talisman that had suddenly appeared in the sky and stirred up a fierce flame that could overturn mountains and seas, Xiao Si let out a heartfelt sigh: "Damn it, being rich is really great..."

  That night, Qi Nian's expression suddenly changed, he had not expected that Princess Jincheng actually carried a powerful and abnormal eighth-grade Dao symbol on her body!

  Hundreds and thousands of blades were evaporating into nothingness in the resplendent dragon flames, "sizzling" as they disappeared. The purple gold magic dragon opened its mouth once more, shooting out a column of rounded, eye-searing fire that enveloped Nanashi no Nanao!

  He knew that unless he could move a hundred feet in the blink of an eye, it would be absolutely impossible to escape this dragon flame's attack. He immediately struck out with the Great Thousand Empty Illuminating Mirror, but there was no time to deploy the Flash Escaping Technique, and all he could do was frantically urge the Buddha mirror to emit a group of virtual empty blue light waves, which expanded into a seemingly real and illusory mysterious mirror on his head, facing the falling dragon flame.

  "Boom!" Long Yan heavily smashed into the illusory and mysterious light mirror, with more than half of it being bounced back. However, a small part successfully shattered the light mirror, falling onto the Great Thousand Empty Mirror.

  "Hum——" The vast empty space of the mirror shook violently, and the spiritual connection between Da Qiankong and Yeye Qilang was like a rubber band being rapidly stretched out, becoming thinner and more blurred.

  Under the traction of the air machine, Qiye Lang hummed and spat blood seven times in one night, his face as pale as paper, his body also staggering and unstable, the momentum of the day and night long knife in his hand dissipated by more than 50%, being entwined by the "Wind Moon Empty Surroundings" layer by layer, unable to break free.

  He didn't expect that the "Empty Mirror" he had exhausted his strength to urge out would also be unable to block the Purple Gold Dragon Flame, and a thought of retreating sprouted in his heart. After all, he had already probed into the great secret of Master Absoluteness and Princess Golden Castle, and continuing to entangle himself was completely meaningless; as long as he could successfully escape, all his debts would be repaid with interest.

  Before he could even think of a plan, a gust of cold wind swept across his back. The toad had somehow snuck up behind him and shot out its long tongue, which looked like a dark red whip, viciously striking at him!

  "Slap!" Ruan was a master of the Seven Nights' skill, with precise and mysterious techniques to protect his body. However, he still couldn't withstand Xiaotao Hong's "Tongue Splashing Lotus Flower" attack, which made him feel dizzy and disoriented. Before he could react, Princess Jincheng had already seized the opportunity to snatch the Long Night Sword from him!

  Before he could react, Ling Tai felt another sharp pain, and completely lost contact with Da Qian Kong's mirror.

  It was only then that a string of earth-shattering booms were heard in the high sky, as the dragon flames and purple gold dragon's tail that had been reflected back by the empty mirror collided with a loud crash, stirring up circle after circle of dazzling light and color.

  Xiao Tao Hong is as pleased as can be. Last time, Xiao Si drove it to fight with a one-night-seven-lang hard, making a big fuss and hurting its vitality. This time, it finally found its place back, and from now on, who dares to take the frog lightly!

  The proverb says a gentleman takes ten years to revenge, but for a toad, it only takes five days!

  But... wait a minute, it seems that I've never been sneaky or underhanded when fighting with others before. So why have I become so despicable and shameless now?

  It thinks about the past on one side and looks forward to the future, not tolerating the belly swelling like a ball "Woooo" wildly spewing out a colorful poisonous mist!

  This cold poison seems as light as cloud and smoke, yet it contains a strange power, with the momentum of destroying the dry and pulling out the rotten, forcing the violent surging waves to rush towards Yexiaoqi.

  One night, Qi Nianlang was not afraid of Xiaotao Hong's "blood-spraying" technique. However, with Princess Jincheng watching him closely from the front and the remaining power of the Purple Gold Demon Dragon above, plus Xiao Si coming to attack him twice, he really didn't have the heart to fight on. He casually threw out a Wind Escape Symbol, instantly moving fifty zhang away and capturing the Great Thousand Empty Mirror, planning to take advantage of the situation to break through the encirclement and flee far away.

  At the critical moment, a sharp sword light suddenly burst out in the faint sky, and with a swift and fierce movement, it knocked the Mirror of the Great Thousand Empty Space out of Yexian Lang's hand!

  Qiqi was shocked and exclaimed: "Master Juejin!"

  But then she saw the Golden Lotus Master's killing intent, her hand holding the Demon-Slaying Sword pointing at Qi Ye, saying in a stern voice: "You wicked creature, I don't have such a disciple!"

  Xiao Si thought for a moment and then immediately urged the little peach red to stretch out its long tongue and wrap it around the high-flying Da Qian Kong's mirror, exclaiming: "My godmother has arrived!"
