This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1628 - 7: Journey Through the Abyss (Part 2)

The Black Demon Flower possessed a touch of wisdom and had strength, sensing danger.

However, it was helpless as it was still just a plant, unable to move, so it could only emit a black light, forming a shield to protect itself.

Crack!

The shield shattered instantly.

The Sword Light radiated a sharp Divine Light, and Sword Qi swept across.

The black lotus was instantly severed, its crystalline petals fluttering, yet carrying a demonic nature, transforming into one black light after another, spinning, not wilting away.

The petals were as crystalline as black jade, enormous and extremely beautiful.

At this moment, red light surged, and a slender and graceful figure appeared.

Qin Yitian stood at the very center of Three-Eye City, holding the blazing red Dragon Sparrow Sword, slashing at the fluttering petals, directly pulverizing them into dust.

However, the Black Demon Flower was not completely dead. It was extremely sinister, and as long as its roots were intact, it could continuously absorb Demonic Qi and revive.

Qin Yitian smiled coldly, showcasing a sharp aura seldom seen by Lu Qingshan, and slashed down once more.

A scorching flame arose on the Dragon Sparrow, swirling persistently.

With the flame, this sword directly targeted the roots of the Black Demon Flower.

Bang!

Like a sun exploding, the scorching flame originally attached to the Dragon Sparrow Sword's body leaped violently, instantly spreading across the entire Black Demon Flower, igniting it like a colossal black lotus into a blazing torch, burning fiercely.

Demonic Qi continually seeped out from it, but was melted by the flames, emitting a sizzling sound.

In just two breaths, that sinister Demonic Flower turned into a pile of ashes, disappearing entirely.

The Demonic Qi surrounding Three-Eye City also dissipated at this moment.

The demonic cultivators of Three-Eye City detected something amiss, roaring furiously as they rushed toward the center of the city.

But it was too late, and under everyone's gaze, Qin Yitian rose with Sword Control, transforming into a red meteor, swiftly flying south, vanishing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Immediately inform other cities of the news here, tell them Qin Yitian has appeared and is fleeing south. We are pursuing her from behind, and they should cooperate with us to block her path ahead. If we succeed in killing her, the merit will be great!"

Although it was just a fleeting glance, the City Lord of Three-Eye City immediately recognized Qin Yitian, speaking urgently.

In ten years, Qin Yitian and Zang Xiaojian had ventured in and out of Demonic Occupied Zones multiple times, killing demons in the hundreds to thousands. Their battle merits were illustrious, and they had made it to the Demon Race's kill list, gaining significant fame. Conversely, killing them would also bear substantial merit.

Moreover, not to mention their battle merits, just the fact that Qin Yitian destroyed their Demonic Plant at Three-Eye City was enough for the City Lord of Three-Eye City to wish for her death without delay.

Although Qin Yitian's Escape Technique was swift, she had vanished within this short time.

However, the City Lord of Three-Eye City was not panicked.

If in any other region, with the escape speed Qin Yitian had just demonstrated, she would indeed be difficult to manage.

But since it was close to the Space Tunnel and the cities were unusually dense, no matter how Qin Yitian fled, she couldn't completely bypass the Demon Race's cities.

Furthermore, no matter how fast Qin Yitian's Escape Technique was, it couldn't outpace the speed at which messages spread.

As long as the demonic cultivators of other cities received the message and intercepted her in her escape direction, she'd find it hard to escape even with wings.

"But.... how did she manage to infiltrate?" the City Lord of Three-Eye City wondered, but quickly dismissed the thought.

No need to worry so much, the important thing is to kill her on the spot.

She is the newly risen Sword Cultivator prodigy of the Human Race in nearly the past decade. If she were to fall here today, it would be a significant blow to Yumen Pass.

....

The demonic cultivators of Three-Eye City mobilized in full force, bringing all the high-ranking demonic cultivators in the city and pursuing Qin Yitian in the direction of her vanished figure.

And after receiving the message from Three-Eye City, the demonic cultivators from the cities within this region were immediately mobilized.

Not just the south where Qin Yitian was fleeing, but the other three directions of the cities near Three-Eye City were also on high alert.

Because the demonic cultivators suspected Qin Yitian might be feigning to attack east and striking west, pretending to flee south, then silently changing direction.

However, Qin Yitian acted too rashly, choosing to act against Three-Eye City.

The geographical position of Three-Eye City was vaguely at the center of this area dense with cities, and in no direction was there a truly meaningful gap in military presence.

...

Cold Iron City.

Powerful auras were continuously flying out from the city.

The originally somewhat silent city suddenly became lively a moment ago.

First, the City Lord of Cold Iron City, a mid-tier Demon Lord, left the city with a large team of demonic cultivators. In the following time, more demonic cultivators continuously left the city.

The efficiency of the Demon Race was extremely high.

In just a quarter of an hour, the entire city was emptied, with 80% of the demonic cultivators already gone.

Yet, amidst this heavy in-and-out flow of demons, not a single one noticed that high above Cold Iron City lay a Sword Cultivator silently watching them depart.

Lu Qingshan.

"If it were only me, I would indeed have found it hard to escape, but now, they can only be manipulated by the young master," Qin Yitian quietly remarked as she observed the commotion below.

"That's why the old Sect Master never revealed the abilities of Fuyao to outsiders," said Lu Qingshan.

The Conceal Light Divine Skill of Fuyao was at its strongest when no outsiders knew of it.

From the perspective of the cultivators in Three-Eye City, it appeared as if Qin Yitian had fled with extreme speed, quickly vanishing from their sight.

But the true situation was that after leaving Three-Eye City, Qin Yitian immediately returned to Dragon Sparrow.

Then, with the help of the Conceal Light Divine Skill of Fuyao, which Lu Qingshan had long hidden outside Three-Eye City, and by using the Sword Domain Divine Ability to conceal Dragon Sparrow in the void around him, they created the illusion of Qin Yitian disappearing.

After completing everything, Lu Qingshan left Three-Eye City and headed towards Cold Iron City once more.

This was a hoax orchestrated by Dragon Sparrow's Sword Spirit Divine Ability and Fuyao's Conceal Light Divine Skill working in harmony.

A feat possible only with two Taoist Swords, making it unsurprising the Demon Race hadn't anticipated it.

.....

With the high-grade demonic cultivators drawn away to intercept Qin Yitian, Cold Iron City posed no further threat to Lu Qingshan.

In an instant, he vanished from the high altitude, entering Cold Iron City.

The demonic cultivators remaining in Cold Iron City, with the highest cultivation being only Eighth Grade, couldn't detect his presence at all.

Lu Qingshan smoothly traversed Cold Iron City and entered the Space Tunnel.

The barriers of the boundary shimmered radiantly, as if within a dream.

A moment later, light suddenly appeared ahead.

Lu Qingshan's heart stirred, rushing through the light, once more entering.... the Abyss.

...

Looking up, the Blood Moon hung in the sky, covering most of the sky, dyeing all the scenery of the Abyss world blood-red.

A deep, oppressive feeling surged in.

"This world is so dark and oppressive, it's hard to like it. It doesn't even compare to the Netherworld in the Death Realm," Qin Yitian complained softly.

"What do you mean it doesn't compare to the Netherworld!" protested Gu Yiyi.

"Hmph!" Demon Suppressing expressed even greater protest, after all, the little brother has quite a temper, and a big one at that.

Oops, forgot about these two.... Qin Yitian, who subconsciously vented to her young master, quickly zipped her mouth and stopped speaking.

"This is what they call a good start," Lu Qingshan chuckled lightly, correcting.

"Hmph." Only then did Demon Suppressing feel better.

Re-entering the Abyss, Lu Qingshan felt limitless emotion.

Back then, with Dragon Sparrow damaged, in search of a way to save Dragon Sparrow, he ventured alone into the Burning Moon Domain with Fifth Realm cultivation, advancing cautiously, ultimately reaching the Ninth Flowers Extreme Realm in the Abyss, rescuing Dragon Sparrow, and even mastering the Demon Race's number one offensive Secret Technique--Bing Syllable Mantra.

Apart from the dangers, in this light, it could even be said that the Abyss was a place of fortune for him.

And now, he had returned once again.

He looked around, searching for orientation.

Once a stranger, twice a friend, the previous journey through the Abyss, coupled with deliberate intelligence gathering, left Lu Qingshan with a good understanding of the Abyss, preventing him from being as clueless as before.

Soon, he identified the direction of the Black Armor Domain and set off on Escaping Light once more.

Departing from the Yanling King Realm where the Space Tunnel was located, Lu Qingshan also saw many Demon Race troops heading south towards the Space Tunnel.

However, Lu Qingshan neither stopped nor attempted to act.

Currently, the Burning Moon Domain was in a state of war preparedness, with Chi Venerable, War Venerable, and Ming Venerable, these three Demon Venerables, likely having one or two overseeing the entirety of Yanling King Realm.

Those three were not adversaries Lu Qingshan could handle at present.

Encountering them for real would make survival difficult, let alone confrontation.

Lu Qingshan always remained cautious.
