Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 460 - 456: Sword Dragon Becomes Blood Dragon
Xia Tianming’s guess actually had some logic to it. Previously, there were such rules in the Infinite Divine Domain.
However, back then Tang Yunqi was by their side, knowing the specific situation. Now that they’ve come to the Holy Sword Secret Realm, everyone is completely in the dark and doesn’t know much.
So now, they can only observe more closely.
Xia Feng squinted his eyes, looking at the sword peak of Holy Sword Mountain, and inexplicably felt that those bloodstains seemed to be slowly climbing upward.
He recalled that when the Infinite Secret Realm assessment was opened, it required the bloodline of the enemies of Wuji Divine Monarch.
So Xia Feng turned to ask Li Qingxue: "Do you know if the Holy Sword Divine Emperor had any enemies?"
"I remember she seemed to be an elder of your Li Family. Does your family have any family enemies?"
Li Qingxue looked a bit confused, then shook her head after a while and said: "I just came back not long ago and have never heard my mother mention these things."
"Regarding the major affairs of the Li Family and dealings with the outside world, she never involved me."
Li Qingxue glanced in the direction of Li Qingyu with a bit of hesitation: "Perhaps Li Qingyu knows about these things."
Xia Feng sympathetically patted Li Qingxue on the shoulder: "Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked this question."
Li Qingxue shook her head and asked, puzzled: "Why did you suddenly think of this, husband?"
Xia Feng paused, then hesitated before saying: "Just wanted to understand how to open the Secret Realm assessment."
Li Qingxue looked thoughtful, raising her head to watch Li Qingyu, who was still entangled with the Sword Dragons in midair.
"Li Qingyu has always hated my existence. But today she actually put aside her grudge against me to tussle with the three Sword Dragons. There must be something special about these three Sword Dragons."
Xia Feng nodded, stood up, and prepared to fly over to snatch one Sword Dragon from Li Qingyu’s hands.
But before he approached, the blood patterns on the sword peak of Holy Sword Mountain suddenly surged, and one of the three Sword Dragons’ eyes turned blood-red, as if enraged.
Originally, Li Qingyu, who was evenly matched with the Sword Dragon, was instantly targeted by the Blood-eyed Sword Dragon, which swept over her rapidly.
Li Qingyu’s face turned ugly, and a jade at her chest flickered, moving her body to a new position, dodging the Blood-eyed Sword Dragon’s attack.
However, the people around her weren’t as lucky; within the blink of an eye, the Blood-eyed Sword Dragon had swallowed a dozen people.
As more blood nourished it, the body of the Blood-eyed Sword Dragon gradually changed from black to blood-colored.
The already strained group, including Li Qingyu, were overwhelmed by this suddenly mutated Blood-colored Sword Dragon.
Li Qingxue frowned slightly, hesitantly asking Xia Feng: "Given the situation now, should we still try to seize a Sword Dragon?"
Xia Feng thought for a moment and then shook his head: "Let’s wait a little longer, there’s no rush. Let Li Qingyu continue the fight with the Sword Dragon for a while."
"I still can’t figure out the attacking habits of the Sword Dragon, and that’s not a good sign."
Xia Feng squinted his eyes, watching the direction of the Sword Dragon intently, his expression slightly mysterious.
He now had a vague suspicion in his heart. Sword Qi was the lowest level existence, only creating minor troubles for Trial Takers.
The fragments of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword contained within were scattered and insignificant, mere edge pieces.
Next in line were Sword Beasts, which crazily attacked people from behind, and the Great Dao and Sword Techniques contained in the Sword Hearts they unearthed were slightly stronger.
Then there came the flying Sword Beasts, appearing out of nowhere, stronger than regular Sword Beasts, and the Great Dao within began to become subtle.
Xia Tianming had previously dealt with flying Sword Beasts with Void Sword Dao, and Xia Feng had also dealt with flying Sword Beasts with Extreme Ice Sword Dao or Li Huo Sword Dao.
Even for Xia Feng, the Sword Heart within was an extremely formidable existence.
And then there were the three Sword Dragons before his eyes.
Xia Feng didn’t know if there were Sword Beasts weaker than Sword Dragons but stronger than flying Sword Beasts.
However, he was now sure that the Sword Hearts of the Sword Dragons were definitely more powerful than those of the flying Sword Beasts, and he wouldn’t let the Sword Hearts of these three Sword Dragons go.
Beside him, Li Qingxue spoke worriedly: "Surely these people still have plenty of life-saving items. If they manage to kill the Sword Dragon..."
Before Li Qingxue could finish, Li Qingyu above shouted with a grim expression.
"I know you all still have your trump cards."
"But this is a matter of life and death now. If you hold back any longer, you might not even save your own life!"
As she spoke, she reluctantly took a blood-red flag from her Storage Ring.
Xia Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the flag for a long time but couldn’t discern its purpose.
The surrounding people seemed hesitant, but seeing Li Qingyu take out such a key treasure, they didn’t want to end up like those unfortunate ones before and solemnly brought out their own prepared items.
Xia Feng’s face showed some reluctance. If he acted now, he might be able to snatch these things away.
One or two would be of little use, but among the treasures of these hundreds of people, surely there were some usable ones.
But he only hesitated for a moment before staying in place without any intention to attack.
Li Qingyu happened to notice Xia Feng escaping, internally cursing those unreliable ones surrounding Xia Feng, while also guarding against his side, as if afraid he might suddenly attack her.
The Blood-colored Sword Dragon on the opposite side was surrounded by dense blood mist, and its Sword Qi began to attack indiscriminately in all directions.
Li Qingyu’s face became grim, her expression ugly as she squeezed a spell and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the blood-red flag.
A fierce gale erupted, shielding the figures of the hundreds of people with overwhelming sand, making it impossible for the Blood-colored Sword Dragon to find suitable targets for attack.
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, speaking with a half-smile: "She uses the Celestial Talisman Array more smoothly than the Great Dao of Celestial Sword. If she weren’t your half-sister, I’d suspect she was from the Celestial Talisman Divine Domain."
Beside him, Li Qingxue also spoke with some surprise: "I never heard that she could use the Great Dao of Celestial Talisman."
"But what you said makes sense. I’ll have my mother check into it when we get back, maybe..."
Li Qingxue raised her voice quite a bit, seemingly on purpose for Li Qingyu to hear.
