Chapter 800 -44 The Majesty of True Darkness
Li Minghu’s surprise attack with the Sky Flash Sword was a basic move, the White Rainbow Across the Sky, yet it was not simply that.
At the same time, using a pair of swords to counter four, and surrounded by the narrow corridor which restricted movement, he could only rely on swordsmanship for defense. Thus, the Gatekeeper Taoist’s concentration was extremely tight.
He needed to beware of the front, watch the back, constantly shifting attention from side to side, with his Divine Sense continuously scanning without a moment’s pause—he had to ensure that the moment a Flying Sword attacked from any direction, he used his Divine Sense to immediately lock the pathway of the sword, thus maintaining an impenetrable defense.
Thinking inversely, when both Flying Swords on this end were repelled, there was a high chance the Gatekeeper Taoist would shift his Divine Sense to the other side.
Li Minghu seized this opportunity, accurately predicting the moment the opponent’s Divine Sense was diverted and thrust forth the Sky Flash Sword with all his might.
By the time the Gatekeeper Taoist redirected his Divine Sense back, the Sky Flash Sword was already striking from his defensive blind spot and rapidly closing in!
This man, also extremely experienced in sword duels, immediately judged that there was no time to call the Flying Sword back for defense. Instead of dodging, he sidestepped half a step, allowing the Sky Flash Sword to stab into his right chest but avoiding the vital organs around the heart.
The next second, the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword Qi also pierced into his left chest!
Li Minghu took advantage of the moment when the Gatekeeper Taoist’s Divine Sense was absent to strike but did not hide his intentions from Yan Yu. Though the two had not communicated, they were both technically skilled and calculative, almost intuitively aligned like mother and child, to the extent that Yan Yu immediately grasped Li Minghu’s plan—including expecting the Gatekeeper Taoist’s next move to dodge to the left.
The Liangyi Sword followed the Sword Qi with a Flash, stabbing again into the left chest of the Gatekeeper Taoist right on cue.
This time, the Gatekeeper Taoist had no strength left to dodge, his form shattering like a dream.
Lin Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she suddenly heard the Mirror Immortal’s voice transmission:
“Don’t rejoice too soon; he’s not dead yet. He’s about to go all out.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Ning was initially puzzled, then her expression swiftly changed, and she immediately rushed to Yan Yu’s side, relayed the Mirror Immortal’s message, and quickly took out the ancient mirror, throwing it on the ground as if it were a hazardous object.
Yan Yu frowned, sweeping his Divine Sense over it and found that the copper mirror was devoid of brilliance and Spirituality, not resembling a Magic Treasure at all, but more like some obsolete ordinary object.
He picked it up and scrutinized it, becoming even more skeptical that it was not a Magic Treasure at all, turning to look at Li Minghu.
Li Minghu shook his head, indicating that he also couldn’t discern anything special… it seemed to be just an ordinary item.
Lin Ning knew this too, but the transmission from the Mirror Immortal was indeed genuine, and she eagerly urged:
“You need to talk to my captain!”
The Mirror Immortal ignored her, opting to play dead and remain silent.
Lin Ning, frantic, stomped her feet, wishing she could drag the Mirror Immortal out of the mirror to prove she was not lying.
Li Minghu subtly raised his eyebrows, remaining silent, while Yan Yu pondered for a moment and explained:
“Ningning isn’t the type to make jokes without reason.”
“Captain!” Lin Ning’s eyes welled up with tears.
“As for this thing…” Yan Yu pondered, “If it indeed is some form of Magic Treasure and the Artifact Spirit is playing aloof by not speaking, it’s likely part of some unspeakable scheme. If we just leave it here, that settles it.”
“What if it’s not a Magic Treasure?” Lin Ning asked.
“Then there’s even less worry about throwing it away,” Yan Yu said.
“Right,” Li Minghu agreed, “The best way to handle an unknown move is to not engage at all.”
Was that still necessary to say? Lin Ning thought to herself, but verbally she said:
“Then let’s just leave it here.”
“Hold on!” Finally, the Mirror Immortal couldn’t resist any longer and communicated with Lin Ning, “Lin Ning! Wasn’t it I who guided you to find your captain? Even if you don’t trust me, think about the kindness I’ve shown you along the way! The Sword Immortal you just dealt with, he’s not completely defeated yet; I can tell you how to completely solve him!”
“Ptui, ptui, ptui, you helped me, but how does that relate to kindness? Don’t start escalating this!” Lin Ning immediately retorted and relayed the words of the Mirror Immortal.
Yan Yu wore a contemplative look, thinking the Artifact Spirit seemed pretty capricious.
In the Cultivation World, encountering bizarre things was not unusual, but having lived two lives, could he really have misjudged whether this broken mirror was a Magic Treasure? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Ningning lacked experience in handling such matters; perhaps it should just stay with him for now, and he would take care of it!
“So go ahead, tell us how to deal with that Gatekeeper Taoist.” Yan Yu said.
“First off,” the Mirror Immortal relayed to Lin Ning, “the Gatekeeper Taoist was once the founding ancestor of the Zhenmei Sword Sect, who left behind his Intention Body.”
“The Sun True Dullness Sword?” Yan Yu felt he had heard the name before. Oh, that’s right, it was mentioned by Ghost Mother in Chen Lingyun’s banner, saying that the last Sect Leader of the Emei Sword Sect had absconded with the sect’s guardian sword.
“If you consider dealing with this founder’s Intention Body a difficulty level of 1 for you now, then dealing with the Sun True Dullness Sword’s Sword Intent would be a difficulty of 10,” continued the Mirror Immortal, “For the former, you can still rely on your swordsmanship, but for the latter… you wouldn’t even have a chance to draw your sword, you’d be directly crushed and Blast Killed.”
