Chapter 129 - Rank 4 Revealed, Innate Sword Physique

While Di Shitian and Yin Zhong were fiercely fighting over Nameless's Dragon Essence.

In the skies above.

The Sword Immortal Ranking refreshed once more.

[Sword Immortal Ranking – Rank 4]

[Li Hanyi]

[Identity: Second City Lord of Snow Moon City, Ming Dynasty's Snow Moon Sword Immortal]

[Cultivation: Great Perfection Mythical Realm Land Immortal]

[Sword Dao Comprehension: Third Cycle, 50% Mastery]

[Reward: Heaven-Grade Ultimate-Tier Pill – Sword Dao Physique Pill, upon consumption, the body transforms into an Innate Sword Physique, greatly enhancing sword comprehension speed]

Snow Moon Sword Immortal, Li Hanyi!

No one expected that the one ranking above both Nameless and Dugu Qiubai would be the Snow Moon Sword Immortal.

Even those who understood how powerful Nameless and Dugu Qiubai were couldn't help but feel astonished.

But then again.

Back then, it was Li Hanyi alone who brought Snow Moon City onto the Martial Force Ranking.

If she wasn't already at the pinnacle of the Mythical Realm, the Nine Provinces Golden Ranking would never have acknowledged her.

What was even more outrageous was that, though she was only at the Mythical Realm, her Sword Dao Comprehension was not at all inferior to those in the God Demon Realm.

In fact, some God Demon Realm cultivators might even fall short in swordsmanship compared to her.

Moreover, the reward, the Innate Sword Physique, was an unparalleled physique.

With this physique, advancing to the God Demon Realm would be effortless.

Especially for those stuck at the Mythical Realm for years, many couldn't help but reveal envious expressions.

Unfortunately, their strength simply wasn't on par.

Of course.

No one dared go to Snow Moon City to snatch that physique pill.

Even God Demon Realm cultivators would have to carefully weigh the cost of going against the Snow Moon Sword Immortal.

After all, her current sword power at the Mythical Realm could already contend with those in the God Demon Realm.

Once she advanced further, her strength would skyrocket again.

Becoming enemies with someone so heaven-defying would be courting disaster.

Snow Moon City.

Li Hanyi looked at the pill in her hand. After hesitating briefly, she swallowed it.

It melted instantly upon entering her mouth.

It transformed into a pure surge of power and began rapidly modifying her physique.

A sharp sword aura burst from the top of her head and shot directly into the sky.

This phenomenon immediately drew the attention of everyone in Snow Moon City.

Especially the terrifying sword aura, which struck fear deep into their hearts.

Before such a force, they were no different from ants.

So powerful!

Unbelievably powerful!

So powerful that they had no will to resist.

Those who had harbored ill intent toward Snow Moon City quickly suppressed their thoughts.

They dared not make a single move.

Before someone like this.

All their schemes were probably as fragile as paper.

Knowing it was impossible to succeed, why throw their lives away?

That said.

Those were the rational ones.

There were still many impulsive types.

They believed that while the Snow Moon Sword Immortal was refining the pill.

And the high-ranking guardians of Snow Moon City were likely focused on guarding her.

There wouldn't be much attention left for the Myriad Sword Diagram.

Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to steal it?

In the blink of an eye.

Several powerful figures flashed across the city.

Using masterful thieving techniques and risking everything, they managed to grab the scroll.

They immediately fled toward the edge of the city.

Just as they were about to escape.

A cold and furious voice echoed across the sky.

"You're courting death!"

The next moment.

A streak of sword energy shot out.

It seemed to pierce through space itself.

In an instant, it reached the thief.

The sword energy passed through him, killing him on the spot.

The Myriad Sword Diagram turned into a stream of light and flew back into the City Lord Mansion.

Killed from thousands of meters away with a single strike.

What kind of technique was that?

Was this the true power of a Sword Immortal?

Unfathomable!

Immediately.

Everyone who had harbored bad intentions buried those thoughts deep in their hearts.

No one dared act recklessly again.

They tried to appear calm as they left Snow Moon City.

Only when they were far away did they quicken their pace and flee into the distance.

In their hearts.

They swore never to return to Snow Moon City again.

==========

Han Dynasty Territory.

Di Shitian, who had just been sneak-attacked by Yin Zhong, was burning with rage.

He was preparing to chase after Yin Zhong for a life-and-death battle.

But just then, the Sword Immortal Ranking refreshed again.

When he saw the introduction of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, Li Hanyi, even Di Shitian was momentarily stunned.

Third Cycle of Sword Dao at 50% mastery, already not weaker than some God Demon Realm cultivators.

And she was only at the Great Perfection Mythical Realm.

If she broke through into the God Demon Realm.

Wouldn't that put her on par with him?

Thinking of this, a shadow passed over Di Shitian's expression.

The number of powerful beings in this world was growing.

He needed to find a way to eliminate this woman before she fully rose.

Otherwise, in the future, she would become yet another threat.

However, the territory of the Ming Dynasty belonged to Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

If he were to intrude, Zhu Houzhao would definitely know.

If Zhu Houzhao allied with the cultivators of the Azure Dragon Association to ambush him.

Wouldn't he be in grave danger?

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.

But if he didn't take action himself.

Who else could kill such a heaven-defying woman?

The next moment.

Di Shitian looked over at a not-so-distant figure, the one who had brought him shame.

Sending him to deal with the Snow Moon Sword Immortal might be even better.

His eyes rolled with calculation as a plan formed in his mind.

With a sly grin, Di Shitian immediately flew over.

==========

Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City.

Imperial Palace.

Ying Zheng stared angrily at the Black Ice Platform Leader below.

"Where is the Dragon Essence I wanted?"

"Why have you brought me these two worthless individuals?"

Qin Shuang and Jian Chen had already been knocked unconscious by the Black Shadow.

They lay on the floor, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Your Majesty, by the time I arrived, Nameless had already swallowed the Dragon Essence."

"Not only that, two God Demon Realm cultivators appeared during the fight. I was no match for them."

"The Tang Dynasty's Bad Marshal was heavily wounded. Had he not fled in time, he would have been killed."

"I only managed to bring back Nameless's disciple and Qin Shuang."

"However, if we use these two as hostages to force Nameless into handing over the Dragon Essence, there's still a chance we might succeed."

The Black Ice Platform Leader made the suggestion.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face darkened.

He, the Emperor, was expected to consume something someone else had already swallowed and spat back out?

Just the thought disgusted him to no end.

Even if that thing could grant eternal life.

His imperial dignity would never allow such an act!

If the other Emperors of the Nine Provinces found out that Ying Zheng had eaten something regurgitated by another person.

Even if it was the greatest treasure in the world, they would mock him relentlessly.

He would become a permanent laughingstock in their eyes.

Ying Zheng's pride fiercely resisted such disgusting behavior.

But at the same time, giving up felt unbearable.

Thinking this through, Ying Zheng once again doubted the abilities of the Black Shadow.

"Forget it. The matter of the Dragon Essence will be set aside for now. There's no need to pursue it further."

"If Heaven could bestow the Dragon Essence once, there's no reason it won't do so again in the future."

"There will be more opportunities. I can afford to wait."

"Black Shadow, find a way to convert these two into citizens of the Qin Dynasty."

"Perhaps they can be used to restrain Nameless."

"Better yet, we may even succeed in bringing Nameless into the fold of the Qin Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I understand what must be done."
