Chapter 220: Myriad Sword Slash
Tang Yin’s expression became graver with each passing second. The aura he felt from the sparkling crystal ball was the strongest presence he had ever felt.
Considering Lan Yiping’s status, Tang Yin was almost sure that the presence he felt from the sparkling crystal ball belonged to the Early-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator.
Before Tang Yin could do anything, a bright burst of light spilt out from the crystal ball in Lan Yiping’s hand.
Lan Yiping’s expression of fear vanished with the wind, replaced by confidence and arrogance.
The burst of light from the crystal ball took the form of an old man. The old man had long grey hair which reached his waist, he also had a long beard which touched his chest. His body was surreal as if he was just a spirit without a body.
"Little Lan, why did you summon this old man here?" The old man spoke with a gentle tone, he automatically ignored Tang Yin, a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator who was not worthy of his attention.
"Master, that person is trying to kill me. He is too strong, so I could only use the treasure you gave me to summon you." Lan Yiping spoke sullenly, she pointed towards Tang Yin who was slowly inching backwards.
The old man turned around to look at Tang Yin for the first time. His gaze gradually turned cold and dark, and a sinister expression surfaced on his face.
"Boy, how dare you try to harm my Little Lan? This old man will kill you." The old man did not enquire about anything. It did not matter who was in the wrong, just killing a mere Qi Transformation Realm cultivator would solve everything, not to mention, Lan Yiping was his concubine, and he would obviously take her side.
"You’re just an old bag of bones, how dare you be so arrogant before me?" Tang Yin rebuked the old man with anger. He could tell that the old man before him was the divine sense clone of the Early-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator from the Myriad Sword Sect.
Even as an Early-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator, the old man could at most imbue his divine sense clone with 1 attack.
This 1 attack would also only possess less than half of the old man’s full power. From Tang Yin’s estimations, this was equivalent to the full-powered attack of a peak Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator.
Therefore, instead of fleeing, Tang Yin decided to face the old man’s divine sense clone.
"Very good, it has been quite a while since a measly Qi Transformation Realm cultivator dared to insult me, the almighty Chen Dao Xin." The old man replied with a smile, his smile was full of anger and killing intent.
Lan Yiping beamed with joy. Her master, Chen Dao Xin, originally only planned to attack because of her. However, due to Tang Yin’s words, even if it wasn’t for her, the old man would still use his full ability to kill Tang Yin.
Chen Dao Xin lifted his arm up, and the projection of a white sword appeared in his hand. The projection of the sword grew to a thousand feet large before coming to a halt. It radiated a sharp aura that could slice through the world unhindered.
"Myriad Sword Slash!" Chen Dao Xin shouted, he slowly made the thousand feet large white sword projection descend on Tang Yin.
Even if Tang Yin wanted to escape, he could not, he was too slow in the face of the Myriad Sword Slash.
He did not plan to escape though.
He brought out a small silver leaf from his storage ring. The silver leaf appeared ordinary except for its colour, it was also riddled with noticeable cracks on its surface.
’All good things must come to an end.’ Tang Yin thought to himself. The silver leaf Artifact only had one use left before it became worthless. It could block any attack that did not surpass the Spirit Ascension Realm.
The Myriad Sword Slash would originally possess Principle Comprehension Realm power if Chen Dao Xin’s original body used it, however, in the hands of his divine sense clone, its power was reduced to only a peak Spirit Ascension Realm attack.
Tang Yin steeled his heart. He wildly injected his Abyss Qi into the silver leaf.
The silver leaf grew to 10 feet large, its surface covered Tang Yin’s body. The blinding silver light emitting from it spread out to a thousand feet radius. It was just barely large enough to encompass the Myriad Sword Slash that was descending.
The Myriad Sword Slash executed by Chen Dao Xin rammed into the silver light emanating from the silver leaf Artifact. Its momentum slowed down before continuing to descend.
"Break for this old man!" Chen Dao Xin roared. The Myriad Sword Slash slowly shrank from its a thousand feet large size.
As the Myriad Sword Slash descended and its size shrank, the silver light from the silver leaf Artifact holding off the attack slowly dimmed and receded.
Once the Myriad Sword Slash shrunk to only a hundred feet large, the silver light from the silver leaf Artifact was sliced apart and forced to scatter. However, the silver leaf Artifact itself remained in front of Tang Yin.
Without the silver light restraining it, the Myriad Sword Slash descended instantly and arrived before the silver leaf Artifact.
A loud boom reverberated from the impact. Tang Yin was forced to retreat whilst coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.
The space where the silver leaf Artifact and the Myriad Sword Slash collided warped uncontrollably, in the end, the space did not shatter.
The silver leaf Artifact was nowhere to be seen, it had turned to dust and scattered. As for the Myriad Sword Slash, it was also nowhere to be seen. Yet, in its place was the lingering aura of the attack. It was slowly dispersing.
All of this might seem that it took a long time to happen, but in reality, it had only taken a couple of breaths.
Chen Dao Xin had an incredulous look on his face. He was only a divine sense clone, and it only contained a single attack from him. After that attack was used up, his divine sense clone would disperse and exist no more.
That one attack of his could kill even peak Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators, not to mention Qi Transformation Realm cultivators.
He believed that this one attack was enough to protect Lan Yiping from any cultivator in the Drifblim Region. He did not anticipate someone of Tang Yin’s calibre to come along.
For a prideful Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator, this was an incredibly humiliating matter.
"Boy, this old man will personally kill you, just you wait!" Once Chen Dao Xin uttered his last words, he memorized Tang Yin’s face before his divine sense clone faded and dispersed out of existence.
Lan Yiping’s face was bloodlessly pale. Now that she had utilized the trump card that her Master had provided her with, she had no more methods to protect herself from Tang Yin.
Even if the original body of Chen Dao Xin rushed to where she was, it would take him a whole day’s worth of time at his maximum speed to arrive here. By then, Tang Yin would be long gone.
Tang Yin was also aware of this. Using the Phantom Steps, he instantly arrived before Lan Yiping, he reached towards her with his demonic claws...
