Almighty Sword Domain

courting death.

The reason Li Yun had died was because he’d never truly taken Yang Ye’s strength seriously from the very beginning.
He’d refused to give up on the perception he had that all beneath the Saint Realm were ants!

It was exactly that perception which had allowed Yang Ye to succeed at taking Li Yun by surprise in succession.
If he’d taken Yang Ye seriously from the very beginning and treated Yang Ye as a formidable enemy, then it would have been practically impossible for Yang Ye to kill him.
Or, it should be said that it wouldn’t be Yang Ye who was pursuing him, it would be he who pursued Yang Ye!

Actually, countless people throughout history didn’t lose to their opponents, they lost to themselves.

The refinement process wasn’t as smooth as it had been in the past.
Because Li Yun was too strong.
Especially his soul, it far surpassed Yang Ye’s current strength.
Fortunately, it wasn’t in a conscious state and wasn’t controlled by anyone.
So, Yang Ye just had to exhaust some time to complete the refinement.

Time trickled by.

3 days later.

“Huff!” Yang Ye stopped and heaved a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, his countenance was ghastly pale, and his face was covered in sweat.
He’d almost been unable to persist through these 3 days as it truly exhausted the energy of his soul.
However, he’d clenched his teeth and persisted until now just to obtain an extraordinarily strong Sword Servant!

Li Yun knelt on one knee before Yang Ye, “Master!”

Yang Ye nodded slightly.
At this moment, Li Yun couldn’t be considered to be a true Saint, but he possessed the aura of a Saint.
Yang Ye felt that Li Yun should be able to scare off other Saints at the critical moment.

“I wonder if that green snake has attained the Saint Realm!” Yang Ye looked up towards the sky and spoke softly.
He’d given a Violet Crystal to Qing that day because he noticed that chaos might be descending upon Pine Prefecture.
Once chaos arrived, every single Saint he had as a friend would be another layer of protection to him.

After that, Yang Ye looked towards the north.
If he wasn’t wrong, then An Nanjing was probably in Sky Divine Hall right now.
Should I go see her? Yang Ye hesitated for an instant, and then he shook his head and shot towards the south.

It was pointless to see An Nanjing right now.
Because he was utterly incapable of saving her right now.
Moreover, he might even lose his life if he went there.

At this moment, the most important matter at hand was to improve his strength to the best of his ability.
Moreover, there was one more thing waiting for him to be done, and it was to find a way to restore Lu Wan’er’s Dantian!

Just 15 minutes after Yang Ye left, a woman suddenly appeared where he was standing just a little while ago.

“I’m late again!” As soon as she finished speaking, the woman’s figure started splitting apart until it vanished on the spot.

…

Ocean of Clouds City.

Bang!

A huge explosion suddenly resounded in the sky above Ocean of Clouds City, and then countless strands of spirit energy rained down like a storm from above the city.
At the same time, the howl of a wolf resounded in the sky, and then countless strands of spirit energy rained down from above Welkin Wolf Mountain Range as well.

Saints had fallen!

Countless cultivators and demon beasts gazed at the scarlet red sky with horror!

Since Ocean of Clouds Academy and Welkin Wolf Mountain Range entered into war, both sides had lost 2 Saints.
Regardless of whether it was the humans or the demon beasts, both held terror in their hearts.

After all, even Saints had perished, so how safe were they?

It was comparatively better on the demon beasts’ side because they were very well disciplined.
So, while the demon beasts felt uneasy, no disorder had ensued.
However, disorder had appeared in Ocean of Clouds City.
Because some had started to flee.
It was only a few in the beginning, but more and more left the city in the end.

…

At the main gates of Ocean of Clouds City.

Almost a million cultivators were gathered here, and there was more and more rushing over in this direction.
Most of them were cultivators at the Exalt Realm and above.
Because only cultivators at the Exalt Realm and above were confident in their ability to pass through the mountain range and leave this area.

Meanwhile, Yu Wushuang, Lu Wan’er, Shang Qingying, and the other cultivators of the academy stood in front of them.

Yu Wushuang glanced at them and said, “Do all of you really intend to abandon Ocean of Clouds City?”

A middle aged man stepped forward from within the crowd and said, “Miss Yu, we’ve realized that the demon beasts don’t just want to attack and capture the city, they want to fight the academy to the death.
Miss Yu, to tell you the truth, even though we want to obtain more inner cores, but based on the current situation, we wouldn’t be alive to use them even if we’re able to gather more.
So, Miss Yu, please open the gates and give us a chance at survival!”

Shang Qingying spoke solemnly, “The demon beast army is right outside.
Only death awaits all of you outside the city!”

The middle aged man said, “We aren’t heading out to fight them with our lives, we’re leaving.
I think they wish for nothing more than to see that happen!”

Yu Wushuang suddenly said, “What if I refuse to let all of you leave?”

The middle aged man looked Yu Wushuang in the eyes and said, “Miss Yu, we don’t want to fight the demon beasts to the death, and we similarly don’t want to become enemies with all of you.
We just want to live.
So, Miss Yu, please spare us and give us a chance at survival!”

Yu Wushuang had quite an unsightly expression on her face.
Because most of them were the elites in the city.
Once they left, it would definitely be a huge blow to the city.
But if she didn’t let them leave, then she had no doubt that they would definitely take drastic action.
At that time, the city would be in chaos before the demon beasts even attacked!

“Let them go!” Suddenly, a voice resounded.

Yu Wushuang and Lu Wan’er were slightly stunned when they heard this voice, and then they disregarded the presence of everyone here and charged towards the source of the voice.

As soon as his voice finished resounding through the surroundings, Yang Ye had intended to continue speaking.
However, 2 delicate figures had wrapped themselves around him.

One of them spoke with a trembling voice, “I’m begging you! Don’t do something foolish like that again!”
