Chapter 396 The Power of the Karma Slash! Dividing the Spoils!
This time, the gray-white mist on the sword was completely concealed, making the entire sword simple and unadorned, like ordinary iron.
Chen Fan closed his eyes.
In his sea of consciousness, the concept of cause and effect and the sword intent he had comprehended began to merge.
The sword is an extension.
Meaning is fundamental!
Chen Fan slowly raised his sword above his head, the movement so slow that every inch of movement was clearly visible.
But Qinglian Daoist's pupils suddenly contracted!
He felt that as the old eunuch raised his sword, the myriad sword intents remaining in the entire sword mound converged on that ordinary iron sword as if on a pilgrimage!
The ancient sword on the bronze sword stand, the imprint of sword intent on the jade wall, even the scattered thoughts flowing in the air... everything related to "sword" is resonating at this moment!
"Not good!" A warning screamed in Qinglian Daoist's heart. He could no longer hold back. The speed of the clear light surged, like the Milky Way pouring down, and crashed down on Chen Fan!
Just as the light was about to engulf Chen Fan!
He opened his eyes.
His eyes held neither sorrow nor joy, only a blank, indifferent gray.
The eleventh day has passed.
No sound.
There was no light.
Only a faint, almost ethereal sword mark extended from the tip of the sword, slicing through the void, through the clear light, through the protective spiritual shield of the Azure Lotus Daoist, and finally disappearing at the end of the cave.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
next moment!
Boom!!!
The entire sword mound exploded as if struck by an invisible giant hammer!
It wasn't an explosion of sword energy, but an explosion of causal concepts!
Chen Fan's sword cut through too many things!
It severed the connection between Qinglian Daoist and Qingguang Hongliu, severed the karmic bond between Yunhaizi and the remaining Foundation Establishment disciples, and severed the thousand-year ties between the myriad sword intents within the Sword Tomb and this cave!
A chain reaction has begun.
The torrent of clear light lost control and disintegrated in mid-air. The violent spiritual energy backfired, causing Qinglian Daoist to groan and bleed from the corner of his mouth!
Although it was only a minor injury, the fact that a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage was injured by a Core Formation cultivator was already quite alarming.
Yun Haizi fared even worse.
The karmic ties between him and those Foundation Establishment disciples were severed, and the protective formation that was originally supported by his spiritual power collapsed instantly.
The violent spiritual energy surged back, and he was the first to be hit. His protective spiritual shield shattered like paper, and he was sent flying like a rag doll, crashing heavily into the cave wall. His chest caved in, blood gushed out, and his aura was extremely weak.
Those ten or so Foundation Establishment disciples were even worse off.
With their causal ties severed, their connection to this world became fragile. The aftershocks of the explosion swept over them, killing seven people instantly, and leaving the remaining few severely injured and unable to rise from the ground.
The Sword Tomb Cave began to collapse.
Countless cracks appeared in the dome, and boulders rained down. The jade wall of sword intent crumbled inch by inch, and the sword intent sealed for thousands of years scattered and fled like frightened birds and beasts.
The bronze sword stand collapsed, scattering hundreds of ancient swords across the ground, their mournful cries echoing amidst the rubble and dust.
Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Qinglian Daoist steadied himself, waved his sleeve to clear away the dust in front of him, and scanned the entire scene with lightning speed.
He needs to find that old eunuch.
Live to see people, die to see corpses.
But after the smoke and dust cleared, only a mess remained.
Chen Fan disappeared.
It left not a trace of its presence, as if it had never existed.
The Azure Lotus Daoist opened his divine sense to its fullest extent, enveloping the entire solitary peak like a spider web, even extending to a radius of a hundred miles, searching inch by inch.
No.
There isn't anywhere.
That old eunuch seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Ancestor..." Yun Haizi struggled to his feet, clutching his chest, his face ashen. "The old eunuch... escaped again?"
The Taoist Qinglian remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head.
"It's not about escaping." He looked at the spot where the old eunuch had stood, where a very shallow sword mark remained on the ground, with a faint trace of causal energy still flowing within it!
"He... escaped, in a way that we cannot understand."
Yun Haizi wanted to ask more, but then he saw Qinglian Daoist suddenly raise his hand and say:
"The matter of the Sword Tomb must not be revealed. This thief is most likely still in the Qingyun Sect. Find him secretly for me!"
"Yes!" Yun Haizi, who was seriously injured, was stunned for a moment, then nodded!
The Azure Lotus Daoist nodded, and without saying anything more, he left the place with a murderous look on his face!
His intuition told him that the old eunuch was still hiding in the Qingyun Sect!
It's just that the other party possesses a great treasure, or perhaps some secret technique prevents him from finding it for the time being!
Yun Haizi looked at the destroyed sword tomb and a sigh appeared in his eyes.
Having suffered serious injuries, he had no choice but to go back to heal.
After the two left, the ruins of the Sword Tomb were quiet.
If you look closely, you'll see a tiny golden light, no bigger than a mustard seed, quietly appearing in that corner—it's Chen Fan hiding inside the bowl!
He quietly extended his divine sense but did not rush to leave. Instead, he silently observed his surroundings.
Sure enough, less than three breaths after the person left!
The domineering divine sense of the Azure Lotus Daoist descended with a thunderous roar!
Like a plowshare, he searched the entire Sword Tomb ruins, and then left in anger!
This made Chen Fan, who was hiding in the golden bowl, realize that he should stop moving!
Instead of leaving, he simply fell into silence!
A world within a bowl.
In the courtyard, Eunuch Wei sat with his legs crossed, eating melon seeds and drinking freshly brewed tea.
He lived a leisurely and carefree life, his face full of smiles.
The crops in the field have all been harvested recently, and he can finally take a break!
In a couple of days when the time is right, Eunuch Wei will gather people to plant the next season's crops!
Thinking of all this, he couldn't help but glance at the hundreds of granaries outside the courtyard, each seven or eight zhang tall and already filled.
Eunuch Wei was worried that if these radishes, spirit rice, and sweet potatoes weren't sold quickly, a lot of them would probably rot!
"Get us some water..."
But at that moment, Chen Fan appeared out of nowhere.
Exhausted, he glanced at Qingxiazi and then sat down in a chair on his own!
"Eunuch Chen, you're back?" Eunuch Wei greeted him with a smile.
"What good stuff did you bring back from the Qingyun Sect today?"
"That's a bit much..." Chen Fan nodded and said.
"Hurry up and call everyone over, we need your help!"
Eunuch Wei was taken aback.
Not knowing what the old eunuch wanted to do, he could only take out a flute from his pocket!
As soon as he played the flute, a commotion came from outside the door!
Then, Wu Yuezi, Old Man Qianchong Lao Huang, Zhu Ping, Ling Huanzi, Qingxiazi, Qingfengzi, Tianyu Daoren, and Qingyizi all entered the room.
Even on the wall, the ghost Xiaodie appeared silently!
"Everyone's here..." Chen Fan smiled as he took a sip of tea.
This made Qing Yizi swallow hard.
Could it be that the old eunuch gathered these people because he was planning to attack the Qingyun Sect?
Although they don't have any Nascent Soul cultivators, this lineup is enough to sweep away any sect below the Nascent Soul stage!
Just as Qingyizi was worrying, Chen Fan tossed out a pile of jade slips radiating sword intent from his robes and said:
"Everyone, take a look. Those who like practicing sword formations can take those, and those who like swordsmanship can take those..."
