Heaven Sword... Rise!
A sword talisman of indeterminate grade, but inscribed with the character "Li."
It quietly hovered in the void before Li Qingyi, emanating gentle yet mysterious light.
"Could this be the sword talisman Master gave me?"
Li Qingyi was full of confusion. Originally she had despaired, thinking she would be unable to repay Master's kindness and would perish here.
Who knew this sword talisman that allowed her free passage to Tanxuan Peak on Longkou Mountain
Would now burst forth with such miraculous power.
"A defensive treasure?"
The Sevenfold Echo Sect elder in the air looked stern, clearly surprised by the life-saving trump card that suddenly appeared in Li Qingyi's hands.
Even so, he showed no wariness.
A ninth level Origin Return realm expert—how could he take a mere defensive treasure seriously?
In his view, such treasures often consumed enormously and might resist immediate danger but definitely couldn't last long.
As long as he fought quickly and eliminated the Li family members,
This treasure would eventually fall into his possession, becoming an unexpected windfall.
After all, a treasure that could resist his full-power strike was at least Mystic-grade, quite valuable.
However, in the distant Ethereal Mountain, in the small bamboo house atop Tanxuan Peak on Longkou Mountain,
Zhao Kang was leisurely enjoying bodhi fruit, waiting for his disciple's return.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly as an urgent system notification sounded in his mind:
[Ding! Detected that host's first disciple is encountering S-level threat!]
[Choice One: Consume 200 Master-Disciple Reward System points for remote intervention]
[Choice Two: Consume 800 Master-Disciple Reward System points for personal manifestation, lasting half an incense stick]
[Choice Three: Abandon choice and seek new disciples]
Simultaneously, a light-shadow screen quietly appeared outside the bamboo house,
Vividly presenting the scene of Li Qingyi's perilous situation to Zhao Kang.
In the image, though Li Qingyi wasn't injured, her disheveled appearance made Zhao Kang furrow his brow.
"After finally taking a disciple, if I just sit and watch her meet disaster, that would be a huge loss!"
Zhao Kang thought to himself.
He hoped Li Qingyi could help him find more prodigies to join his tutelage in the future.
Moreover, this was his first disciple—how could he watch her perish?
Furthermore, she was a future sword emperor!
No matter what, he had to save her!
"Choice One, consume 200 Master-Disciple Reward System points!"
Zhao Kang decisively chose to first resolve the crisis with remote intervention.
As soon as he spoke, he felt as if he could directly launch attacks through the light screen across space.
"Heaven Sword... rise for me!"
Zhao Kang didn't take it lightly, deciding to directly use the powerful divine ability from the "Primordial Sword Manual"
Rather than relying only on his third level Qi Control realm cultivation and Limitless Sword Finger.
In his palm, an ancient heaven sword slowly materialized.
Zhao Kang lightly tossed it, sending it into the battlefield within the light screen.
At this very moment, on the other side,
In this instant, Li Qingyi was amazed to discover
The sword talisman before her seemed to awaken, beginning to gather a hazy light screen.
Through the light screen, she could only vaguely see a figure remotely throwing a gleaming golden sword.
Though the light screen rippled violently and the face was blurred, she recognized that elegantly refined man at first glance...
"It's Master!"
Li Qingyi cried out in shock, her heart full of amazement.
The Sevenfold Echo Sect elder in the air witnessed the sword talisman's transformation and suddenly felt unease.
Instinct told him he should immediately flee.
However, it was all too late—he had no time to react.
The unremarkable little heaven sword from the light screen suddenly appeared in the void.
With a whoosh!
That golden heaven sword carried unstoppable momentum, heading straight for above the Sevenfold Echo Sect elder's head, then firmly locking onto his aura.
"Damn it?! This divine ability is too sinister! Why can't this old man move?!"
"Cursed!"
The Sevenfold Echo Sect elder was terrified, realizing that as the heaven sword locked onto him, he couldn't even control his body.
He looked up at the heaven sword suspended above his head, seeing the golden giant sword growing larger and larger.
It grew to 2,800 zhang high before stopping.
This colossal object blocked out the sky, covering the surrounding space in all directions as if under prohibition.
Now everyone felt their limbs wouldn't obey, and their reactions became sluggish.
"Buzz...!"
The heaven sword trembled once, then slashed downward!
"Rumble...!"
In an instant, the earth shook and mountains trembled. The heaven sword pierced a hundred zhang deep into the ground and stood firmly.
As for that Sevenfold Echo Sect elder, he had long since turned to ash in the sword qi's sweep, with no trace of bones remaining!
Fortunately, the Li family residence wasn't covered by this giant heaven sword, or the Li family would have been completely finished today.
"Hiss... what kind of terrifying divine ability is this?"
Only after the heaven sword landed did everyone regain control of their bodies!
Everyone felt like they had just wandered around the gates of hell and returned, still shaken.
If that sword had been aimed at them just now, they couldn't even dodge.
Look again at the 2,800 zhang golden heaven sword standing not far from the Li family gate!
This sword was completely wrapped in sword qi, and the sword body was inscribed with phantoms of ten ancient sword emperors...
