Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: Courting Death
In the past, when they were in the Hidden World, wanting to further improve themselves as top existences was as difficult as the average person climbing to the heavens.
But in the cultivation world where spiritual power was hundreds of times more abundant, their talent made breakthroughs foreseeable.
What troubled Yang Yan was that not all of the Ten Swords qualified for perfect foundation establishment.
Five people could only undergo ordinary foundation establishment.
Yang Yan did not wish for their combat strength to have significant differences due to talent constraints.
The Ten Swords were called Ten Swords because each had their own unique talent.
Although the strength among them did differ, the gap was not evident.
If the talent gap caused his Ten Swords not to be a unified group, that was something Yang Yan absolutely did not wish to see.
However, this matter might still need a discussion with Master Zongming for a solution.
Fortunately, the secret technique used to communicate and convey information with the Ten Swords was still usable in this world.
Therefore, Yang Yan first imparted all his insights on how he cultivated from Qi Cultivation Level Nine to perfect foundation establishment to the Ten Swords, and told them to comprehend and cultivate based on the experience.
Just as Yang Yan was making arrangements for the Ten Swords in the Butcher Palace, Gu Sheng reported that Young Sect Leader Guo Guoguo urgently requested a meeting.
If Lin Zimu was coming with business, Yang Yan would prepare meticulously.
But as it was this Little Witch coming, Yang Yan truly could not think what urgent matter she would have.
As Yang Yan was wondering, he heard the anxious yell from Guo Guoguo outside the Butcher Palace:
"You dead Yang Yan, still not coming out, do you want your Ten Swords or not!"
Since it concerned the Ten Swords, Yang Yan immediately became serious.
His figure shuddered, and the silvery Illusory Night had already draped over him, then his whole person darted outside like lightning, standing sternly in front of Guo Guoguo saying: "Where are the Ten Swords? What exactly happened!"
Normally mischievous Guo Guoguo was startled seeing Yang Yan with such evil qi, then came to her senses and quickly said:
"The Ten Swords were ambushed, we suspect... suspect it might be Yizheng Sect people..."
"Yizheng Sect... courting death——"
Before Guo Guoguo finished speaking, Yang Yan had already rushed out like an arrow off the string.
"Hey! They are all late-stage foundation establishment cultivators, don’t fight stubbornly if you can’t win!"
Seeing Yang Yan dart off midway upon hearing, Guo Guoguo fumed and scolded "idiot", then couldn’t help yelling another reminder to Yang Yan:
"Hey! You bad guy, at least hold on until Elder Dugu arrives!"
Wearing the Illusory Night cloak, Yang Yan already appeared in the sky like lightning, how could he hear Guo Guoguo’s advice afterwards?
Looks like Illusory Night also needs upgrading!
Complaining about his speed, Yang Yan simply summoned Star Night, flying through the sky with sword control.
A perfect foundation cultivator, flying at full speed with sword control, such awe made many Qi Cultivation disciples on the ground only see a flash of rainbow light.
Even those sharp-eyed identifying someone flying couldn’t see who it was.
However, sensing Yang Yan’s foundation establishment stage strength, many assumed it was a senior steward on an urgent mission, never connecting it to Yang Yan.
At this moment, Yang Yan’s anger almost condensed into substance from his eyes.
The scheming aimed at harming him last time, the accounts hadn’t been settled with these cursed clowns!
This time they dared target his people?!
This Yizheng Sect, really can’t be tolerated!
Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp.
If the Ten Swords were here, they would understand, Yang Yan was truly enraged now.
Though he couldn’t fight recklessly with the enemy yet, he would make them pay dearly, to quell his hatred.
Thinking this, Yang Yan’s killing intent intensified, Star Night’s speed increased again.
Through divine thought sensing the Ten Swords, Yang Yan roughly ascertained their location.
Upon first setting out, the Ten Swords were separated, each cultivating alone due to different talents.
Now, in Yang Yan’s perception, the Ten Swords had gathered in one place.
Luckily, no life-threatening danger yet.
When Yang Yan descended like a meteor among a group of people, those circling around shivered in fright, retreating a circle.
At this point, the Ten Swords had formed the Immortal Slayer Sword Array.
With the Qi Cultivation circle-master Lin Zimu joining, they could only hold temporarily.
But the gap between Qi cultivation and foundation establishment cannot be bridged by the Immortal Slayer Sword Array.
The defeat of the Ten Swords was just a matter of time.
That’s why these people exhaustively surrounded the Ten Swords together, watching the fight of a trapped beast like a cat playing with a mouse.
Probably Yang Yan suddenly descending from the sky was this action’s biggest variable.
Seeing the injured Lin Zimu beside the Ten Swords, Yang Yan guessed he covered for Guo Guoguo’s escape to report, staying behind for rearguard.
Lin Zimu saw the battle-ready Yang Yan, greeted awkwardly: "Brother Yang..."
If the Ten Swords were ambushed within Ancient Abyss Sect territory, he couldn’t shirk responsibility.
Yang Yan’s expression indifferent as deadwater, spoke softly to him: "You rest first."
Hearing Yang Yan’s arrangement, Lin Zimu quietly moved to the other side of the Immortal Slayer Sword Array.
Actually, he wanted to ask why Elder Dugu wasn’t seen.
However, since Guo Guoguo called Yang Yan, she should’ve notified the elder too, right?
Lin Zimu discerned Yang Yan’s anger hidden beneath his calm features, didn’t dare ask much, just comforted himself thusly.
"King."
The Ten Swords simply addressed him.
"King, they carry a local world’s drug, tough to handle, we almost got drugged unconscious earlier!" Jing Hong promptly reminded.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yan’s face turned ominous.
Daring to drug his people!
Perhaps seeing Yang Yan not moving for long, someone in the surrounding group mustered courage to step forward and said:
"May I know your honored name? We are Yizheng Sect’s foundation establishment cultivators, capturing traitors from within. Hope you won’t interfere with internal sect matters!"
Yang Yan gave him a look, sneered: "Hm! Yizheng Sect is shameless to the extreme, bringing such a lame excuse!"
Yang Yan had harbored killing intent against this sect, naturally he would suppress them in all aspects.
"Are my Ancient Abyss Sect people all traitors within your sect?"
Saying this, Yang Yan raised his voice a bit, stating his stance.
"Take him down!"
Those people heard Yang Yan declare his sect, immediately opened moves without a word.
"Humph!"
Yang Yan snorted coldly, a chilling blade emerged in his hand, then with a flash of figure charged into the encirclement.
"Asura, Star Night has strengthened before you, can’t lag behind!"
Yang Yan murmured quietly, like speaking to himself.
And this blade clearly heard his intention, responded immediately.
Swish!
Cold light flashed, quivered slightly.
