Chapter 441: Chapter 266: Cultivation World 56
Two months later, Si Lingle and the other two reached the depths of the Bone Decay Swamp in the Wuyu Mountain Range, where purple-black mist was steaming, and the three advanced slowly.
As they moved deeper into the swamp, Yan Li’s Treasure Hunting Puppet Mouse reacted.
Si Lingle sliced the air with her sword, splitting the Water with Thunder Sword Qi, revealing a bronze lotus platform submerged under the muddy waters, at the heart of the lotus, a stalk of Nine-leaf Golden Grass was absorbing the moonlight.
Before the three could collect it, the swamp suddenly boiled.
Seven giant crocodiles with human faces emerged from the Water.
"It’s the Wang Crocodile." Lan Xin flicked her Water sleeve to entangle the nearest one, but the runes on her sleeve were corroded, "They have..." Before she could finish, the crocodile suddenly self-destructed, and its poisonous blood splattered, corroding countless holes on the Water’s surface.
Si Lingle suddenly sheathed her sword: "It’s an illusion."
Si Lingle pinched a spell and shot toward the bronze chain at the southeast corner of the lotus platform.
The bronze chain was hit, causing the entire swamp’s scenery to distort. The Wang Crocodiles turned into blue smoke and dissipated, revealing the true scene: there was no lotus platform, nor Nine-leaf Golden Grass, only a Jade Bone emitting a chilling light.
"This Jade Bone is almost gaining life!" Yan Li said.
Si Lingle: "Jade Bone can be made into demon path magical artifacts like the Soul Summoning Banner and Bone Jade Sword. This place is surely a trap laid by Demon Cultivators."
The more dead people and demon beasts, the quicker the Jade Bone transforms.
Si Lingle dismantled the Array restriction and took the Jade Bone.
Having secured the Jade Bone, the three continued their training.
More than forty years later, Yan Li was about to break through and thus returned to the sect for his breakthrough.
Si Lingle and Lan Xin went to the Golden Roc Mountain Range for training.
Four months passed swiftly.
Si Lingle and Lan Xin had just crossed the Foggy Miasma Gorge when they ran into Wen Lin and Wanyao.
Lan Xin’s expression tightened, her eyes cold as ice.
"Junior Sister Lan Xin, it’s been a while since we last met." Wen Lin, dressed in white, his cuffs embroidered with the golden threads of the Divine Palace Sect Emblem, said, "I didn’t expect Junior Sister Lan Xin to have recovered your cultivation." His gaze swept over Lan Xin and Si Lingle, the smile not reaching his eyes.
Wanyao suddenly flung her Water sleeve, a concealed weapon inside it aiming directly for Lan Xin’s throat: "You wench! How dare you appear in front of us again."
In a flash, Si Lingle’s Qingchu Sword intercepted the lethal intent —
"Ding!"
The concealed weapon clashed against the sword spine, sparking on impact, Si Lingle deftly twirled her wrist, the sword tip lifting the Poisoned Silver Needle to Wanyao’s face.
"This Daoist friend’s Sleeve Universe skill is even more impressive than the Feathered Robe dance of the dancers from Yulou Chun." Si Lingle remarked with a smile.
"How dare you compare me to a dancer! Do you even know who I am?" Wanyao raged, "I am the daughter of the Divine Palace Sect Master."
"Oh my, it’s the daughter of the Divine Palace Sect Master, forgive my poor eyesight. I thought it was a Demon Cultivator sneaking up on us." Si Lingle replied coldly.
"Attack them, I want these two women dead." Wanyao demanded furiously.
"Junior Sister, the opponent is Mid Void Refining." Zi Xuan transmitted a message, "I’m afraid we cannot handle them."
"There are six of us, only two of them, and I have many Magic Treasures with me. Especially the Ten Thousand Poison Banner that Uncle gave me. With it, we can definitely kill them when we attack together." Wanyao said viciously.
Wanyao transmitted: "Go."
With the command "Go," Wanyao and the six swiftly spread out, encircling Si Lingle and Lan Xin.
Wanyao manipulated the Ten Thousand Poison Banner, which upon unfurling released the "Bone-Eroding Thousand Soul Poison," and in the toxic fog, the resentful spirit phantoms summoned by the Ghost Luo Banner of the Yinluo Sect emerged, corroding the Protective Gang Qi of Si Lingle and Lan Xin.
Si Lingle held nothing back, deploying her Space-Time Domain, freezing their attacks, and then unleashed Thunder Sword Intent, causing them to fly away like kites with broken strings.
In the next breath, Si Lingle’s Thunder Domain expanded, and the unaware were struck by countless thunderbolts.
Wanyao had a top-grade Defense Spiritual Treasure and wasn’t severely injured, but Wen Lin and the other five were not so fortunate.
Wanyao brought out her top-grade Magical Treasure, detonating it, but Si Lingle used her Space-Time Domain, making the explosion ineffective against her.
Si Lingle had already taken out the Spiritual Energy Cannon, firing at the six.
At the moment they were hit by the Spiritual Energy Cannon, the Protective Spiritual Light left by Wanyao’s father within her body appeared.
However, the spirit light lasted no more than a second before being dissipated by the cannon’s aftermath.
After killing the six, Si Lingle collected the items on their bodies, cleaned up the scene, and left with Lan Xin.
Lan Xin dared not take their items, fearing retaliation from the Divine King Palace.
Si Lingle was unconcerned, as the items were placed inside the Life Pearl, making any trace or investigation impossible.
