Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 459 - 455: The Black Sword Dragons Emerge

Holy Sword Mountain looks like an unsheathed longsword, with the entire terrain being precipitous and towering into the clouds.

Li Qingyu arrived a day before Xia Feng and them, having already led people to explore Holy Sword Mountain multiple times, but still couldn’t find the correct entrance.

So she believed that the time for the inheritance of the Sacred Sword Secret Realm hadn’t fully launched yet.

With the sudden disturbance now, she couldn’t care less about entangling with Xia Feng and the others, her gaze was fixed firmly on the high peaks of Holy Sword Mountain, filled with unmistakable greed.

Although she is the daughter of the Divine King, and has the backing of her paternal family, she is still inwardly greedy for an inheritance of the Divine Emperor.

If it weren’t for her own lack of capability, Li Qingyu even contemplated killing off everyone who entered the Secret Realm, to seize the inheritance for herself alone.

She always felt that her chances of obtaining the inheritance would increase significantly if no one else were there.

But she never considered that since the Holy Sword Divine Emperor set up the inheritance trials here, even if she killed everyone else, she couldn’t obtain the inheritance if she couldn’t pass the trials.

Sword edge of Holy Sword Mountain suddenly vibrated, and then three pure black, dragon-like sword beasts emerged.

These three sword beasts, although wingless, could also use the Void Sword Technique.

The space around them constantly fragments and reassembles, somewhat resembling the method Xia Tianming used when he grasped the Void Sword Dao.

Li Qingyu’s expression bore a hint of gravity, everyone present couldn’t move their bodies, and she felt a bit worried.

Although they still had many life-saving items, she didn’t want to waste them just like that.

Fortunately, after the emergence, the three sword beasts didn’t charge towards them, instead heading towards the summit of Holy Sword Mountain.

The three sword beasts hovered in the air, their emotionless vertical eyes glaring at the gathered crowd, and then the pressure on everyone lightened as the feeling of constraint abruptly disappeared.

Compared to Xia Feng and others, Li Qingyu was clearly more interested in the three black dragon sword beasts atop the mountain.

She turned her head to look at the people with her, thought for a moment, and then said: "Wang Song’s group stays behind, continue to surround those three."

"If you can’t kill them, don’t, but make sure to delay them; don’t let them mess things up."

"The rest, follow me to encircle and kill the sword dragons."

After saying this, she threw a strangely shaped object in her hand directly next to Xia Feng and the three of them, immediately binding the surrounding space.

The sensation of restraint, which had just faded from Xia Feng and the others, was suddenly reimposed, but compared to the pressure brought by the black sword dragons earlier, this constraint was almost negligible.

Even with Xia Feng’s Great Dao of Space-Time, Xia Tianming’s achievements in the Great Dao of Space were enough to break this constraint.

He turned his head and glanced at Xia Feng, seemingly asking if he should eliminate these constraints and go seize a black sword dragon to see what was going on.

Xia Feng subtly shook his head, saying nothing, although the motion of the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand became significantly slower than usual.

Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming had been with Xia Feng during this period, and naturally knew his mastery of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword was not as simple as it seemed.

Xia Feng looked as if he was toying with the people opposite, so the two of them didn’t take the fight very seriously either.

Even so, from time to time, one or two opponents encircling the three of them would be directly stabbed to death by him.

Li Qingyu took a sideways glance at the situation there, not too surprised to see someone dying.

The people originally left to besiege Xia Feng weren’t strong, and some had an ambiguous attitude towards Li Qingyu, staying neither too close nor too far.

Therefore, whether these people held back Xia Feng, or Xia Feng killed them all, it was a resolution of trouble for Li Qingyu either way.

She was even a bit surprised.

Originally, she thought these people couldn’t hold Xia Feng at all, yet now they had managed to delay Xia Feng for half an hour.

She was entangled with the three sword dragons above, and gradually couldn’t care too much about the situation below.

While Xia Feng was entangled with those below, he also raised an eyebrow to observe the situation mid-air, seemingly wanting to understand the sword dragons’ attack patterns.

No one noticed that whether the people Xia Feng killed or those killed by the sword dragons mid-air, their bloodstains seemed to be drained away by something.

Even the faint remnants of life force within their bodies before dying were whisked away.

Earlier, Xia Feng and the others discovered that when a trial taker in the Secret Realm died or their sword talisman fell off, a giant sword representing Holy Sword Secret Realm rules would fall from the sky.

This time, the giant sword fell faster than usual.

Xia Feng noticed this subtle difference just as he was about to kill that annoying brat in front of him.

The brat, don’t know which family’s prodigy he was from, was a bit hard to handle, and had some good items rivaling those on Li Qingyu.

Twice Xia Feng let him escape from fatal harm, making him look particularly bedraggled despite the severe injuries.

When he prepared to deliver a fatal blow to that brat, the brat was about to plead for mercy with Xia Feng.

But suddenly a giant sword fell from the air, piercing and shattering the brat.

Xia Feng’s face darkened visibly, his long sword twitched, and with a single sweep, he took away the dozen or so people still besieging him.

The giant swords fell extensively, and a bit puzzled Li Qingxue, who had finished her fight on the side, ran over to inquire: "What happened?"

She could tell that Xia Feng didn’t kill these people directly before because he was dragging out time, wanting to gauge Li Qingyu’s current level, and get a gist of the situation with the sword dragons.

But why did he suddenly change his mind and kill everyone now? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Xia Feng didn’t answer her, instead, squinting his eyes to observe those giant swords, the look on his face seemed a bit familiar...

Suddenly, he sharply turned to look at Holy Sword Mountain, then again at these giant swords representing rules, with a pondering look in his eyes.

If these giant swords’ shapes were magnified countless times, they seemed somewhat similar to Holy Sword Mountain.

Not sure if it was Xia Feng’s illusion, he always felt that after these giant swords pierced through the people, the roughly sword-edge location of Holy Sword Mountain had gained a few blood traces, becoming more spiritual.

Seeing Xia Tianming on the side also seemed to notice this, his voice turned soft.

"Back then in the rules for the opening of the Infinite Secret Realm, there was also such a rule that killing half of the people triggered the final inheritance trial, do you think it might be the same in the Holy Sword Secret Realm..."
