Chapter 136: Does Sister Lark Have Someone She Likes?

Page 1 of 3

Every sword radiated a powerful sword aura, and the radiance continued to expand. From the outside, the ten-meter-long giant sword had become dazzling beyond compare, as though only now did it possess the imposing presence it was meant to have.

Battle was its true destiny!

The sword’s words awakened Ye Wuye.

That was right! What was he afraid of? What was there to fear?

He was not alone. He still had his sword!

Ye Wuye’s aura surged magnificently, growing stronger by the moment.

Watching the cliff draw ever nearer, Ye Wuye shouted, “Since you wish to fight, then—”

“I shall fight you to the very end!”

His sword intent erupted in full force.

“Ahhh!”

“Come forth, all of you!”

Space twisted.

One beam of light after another appeared. They were sharp swords—countless sharp swords.

He cast the blue sword from his hand and shouted, “Sword Dragon, take form!”

One sword after another let out delighted humming cries. Centered around the blue sword, they rapidly gathered together.

A massive dragon’s head appeared, followed by its enormous body, claws, and tail.

A colossal Sword Dragon materialized in the sky! It stretched fifty meters in length, formed from an unknown number of swords.

“Roar…”

A deafening roar burst from the Sword Dragon’s mouth.

Graceful as a swimming dragon, swift as a startled swan—

Those were the only words Ye Wuye could find to describe his Sword Dragon. At that moment, he knew that his Sword Dragon had succeeded!

It was lifelike, vivid, and brimming with vitality. It was no longer the lifeless construct it had once been.

“Kill!”

Ye Wuye’s furious roar resounded through the heavens.

“Roar!”

The Sword Dragon howled and surged forward, its immense body hurtling toward the thousand-meter-wide cliff before it.

Boom!

Rumble!

A tremendous collision shook the land.

Boulders flew in every direction, dust billowed into the air, and the vegetation was crushed to pieces.

The Sword Dragon swept through the cliff as though passing through an uninhabited realm, sword energy erupting from its body. The enormous cliff released a pained wail.

After the thunderous impact, Ye Wuye wearily glanced at the thousand-meter cliff behind him. A vast hollow had appeared within it.

The thousand-meter cliff began to collapse…

Ye Wuye had forcibly summoned the swords within his Sword Domain to form such an enormous Sword Dragon. His sword intent had been utterly exhausted, and he slowly sank into slumber.

Beneath the moonlight, the ground was littered with swords thrust into it at every angle, while many others lay broken.

The moonlight shone upon the field of blades, making them glitter with a silvery radiance.

A lone figure lay unconscious among the swords…

At Cloudsoar Sect, halfway up one of the mountain peaks—

Two figures were locked in combat.

Flashes of fire and steel revealed that they were both women.

“Sister Skylark, be careful!”

Under the moonlight, their faces became clear. They were Ye Yunque and Dongfang Yanran.

Dongfang Yanran gave a delicate shout, leaped into the air, and attacked Ye Yunque with a sword in hand.

Ye Yunque neither dodged nor retreated. With a flick of her long whip, she lashed it toward Dongfang Yanran and laughed. “You are the one who should be careful.”

Dongfang Yanran smiled at the incoming whip and lightly tapped the ground. Like a nimble swallow, she slipped aside and avoided the blow.

The ground split open beneath the strike, leaving behind a deep, enormous whip mark.

It was obvious that the two women were not merely playing around. They were training in earnest, with real weapons and genuine force.

If Dongfang Yanran had been even a moment slower, that strike would have left her flesh torn and bleeding.

“Basic Sword Technique: Sword Ray!”

With a graceful cry, Dongfang Yanran slashed through the air, sending a dark-green sword ray toward Ye Yunque.

The sword ray moved with astonishing speed.

Ye Yunque remained utterly calm. As her cultivation surged, spiritual power poured into the whip. With a sharp crack, it burst into roaring flames.

The flaming whip met the sword ray head-on.

Boom!

The sword ray struck the whip and exploded with a violent report, scattering dazzling light in every direction.

Ye Yunque raised a hand to shield her eyes, but another sword ray from Dongfang Yanran came slicing toward her.

She swung the whip once more, then immediately advanced.

Ye Yunque naturally understood that she could exploit the greater length of her weapon to gain an advantage.

Her movement was exactly what Dongfang Yanran wanted. Having chosen a sword as her weapon, Dongfang Yanran naturally preferred close-quarters combat.

The two women collided, producing one sharp clash after another.

Ye Yunque’s long whip danced in an impenetrable web, occasionally striking toward Dongfang Yanran.

Dongfang Yanran repeatedly knocked the whip aside and dodged its attacks. Then, suddenly, she thrust her sword forward.

She had found a flaw in Ye Yunque’s whip technique!

But Ye Yunque was smiling.

“Not good!”

Dongfang Yanran’s heart sank. She realized she had fallen into Ye Yunque’s trap. That opening had been deliberately exposed, and she had truly taken the bait.

Dongfang Yanran was just about to retreat through the air when Ye Yunque’s whip followed like a shadow, swiftly wrapping around her calf.

With a swish, Dongfang Yanran quickly drew a talisman from her waist and cried, “Thunderbolt from the Palm!”

“What? A Thunderbolt from the Palm?”

Ye Yunque started in surprise. She jerked her arm, immediately releasing Dongfang Yanran’s leg, then leaped backward.

After waiting for something to happen, Ye Yunque suspiciously looked at the smiling Jiang Xiaoxiao and finally understood that she had been tricked.

She flicked her whip, winding it around her waist, and said helplessly, “You little rascal. You used a Thunderbolt from the Palm to frighten me!”

“Haha, Sister Skylark, how could I possibly use such a precious thunder talisman against you? Right?” Dongfang Yanran laughed as she hurried over, seized Ye Yunque’s arm, and shook it playfully. “Look, Sister Skylark. This Thunderbolt from the Palm talisman is only a half-finished product. It has nothing but an imposing appearance and can only be used to scare people.”

As she spoke, Dongfang Yanran raised her palm. The electric light released by the talisman had already vanished without a trace.

“You little menace! You never let anyone rest easy. Why are you wasting your time learning talisman drawing? It is fine to dabble in such unorthodox arts, but do not delve too deeply into them. Cultivation is the true foundation!”

Ye Yunque tapped Dongfang Yanran on the forehead.

Dongfang Yanran rubbed affectionately against Ye Yunque and said, “All right, all right, I understand. I only learned it because I thought it was fun.”

“You should focus on improving your cultivation. The elders said that the seal of the Suppressing Mountain Secret Realm has already weakened and could open at any moment. Since we intend to enter and seek our opportunities, we must have sufficient strength.”

“Besides, the Blazing Sun Sect has been making considerable moves lately. This expedition into the Suppressing Mountain Secret Realm will be the first battle between our two sects. If the younger generation fights inside, the outside world certainly will not remain peaceful either. So stop studying talisman arts for now and cultivate properly.”

Ye Yunque looked down at Jiang Xiaoxiao, who continued rubbing herself against her.

“All right, all right. I will listen to you, Sister Skylark,” Dongfang Yanran said obediently. Then she tilted her head and asked, “Sister Skylark, you have grown so beautiful and well-endowed. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry you someday?”

With both hands, Dongfang Yanran mischievously fondled Ye Yunque’s chest.

“You wicked girl! Do you not have one yourself?”

Blushing furiously, Ye Yunque reached toward Dongfang Yanran in retaliation.

The two women began to frolic and tease each other, their clear laughter ringing through the night.

After a while, they sat atop a large boulder and gazed at the moon in a daze.

“Sister Skylark, do you have someone you like?” Dongfang Yanran suddenly asked, tilting her head.

Someone she liked?

Ye Yunque could not help remembering that figure who had descended from the heavens.

The sight of that man’s back had been so handsome.
