Chapter 459 - 459: Nightmare Barrier (1)
Seeing the Peerless Sword appear in Yan Ling’s hand, Bu Jingyun’s eyes were filled with confusion. He looked around at the few Peerless Swords that were constantly shuttling through the cave. This made him even more puzzled.
“Cloud-Dispelling Palm!”
Although he did not know what was going on, the additional Peerless Swords must be related to Yan Ling.
Spiritual energy gathered, and countless flames in the Earth Flame Cave slowly formed a huge palm under Bu Jingyun’s actions.
This was Bu Jingyun using the Cloud -Dispelling Palm to activate the Earth Flame. Even the flames on the bodies of the people who were like fire cocoons were activated.
In an instant, some people broke free from the restraints of the flames.
After they broke free, their faces were still a little pale, but there was a hint of joy in their eyes.
As the Peerless Sword left the furnace, these strange flames seemed to have lost their restraints. If not for the fact that they had absorbed too much of the power in their bodies, they would have long broken free.
“Peerless Sword!”
Ao Tian’s eyes were filled with greed as he stared at the Peerless Swords that were shuttling through the sky.
He wasn’t the only one. Duan Lang and the others were also looking at the flying swords.
However, no one made a move.
Yan Ling’s nightmare power seemed to be real. Every Peerless Sword emitted the same aura, and they could not tell which one was real.
“I have to recover my strength first!”
Duan Lang’s eyes flickered as he retreated from the cave.
In a brief period, Bu Jingyun and Yan Ling wouldn’t be able to determine the victor. It was better to first recover the strength in his body.
Ao Tian had the same thoughts as Duan Lang. Since the Peerless Sword had already appeared and had undergone the Sword Sacrifice, this sword could only belong to their Sword Reverence Manor.
Regardless of who extended their hand, he had to stop them.
“Nightmare Maze!”
Yan Ling twisted her body and easily dodged Bu Jingyun’s Cloud -Dispelling Palm. The powerful force made the cave tremble.
Some rocks crumbled and fell from above.
It was not appropriate to fight here. Otherwise, they would be trapped in this cave.
The black fog slowly crept into Yan Ling’s eyes. A significant amount of black fog started to emanate from her armor, spreading throughout the entire Earth Flame Cave like the core of the black fog.
A moment later, the Earth Flame Cave changed completely.
The flames vanished, and the cave walls transformed into a black rock surface. The dry ground shifted to damp.
“This is…”
Bu Jingyun watched as Yan Ling’s figure disappeared. He couldn’t help but think to himself. Unfortunately, he couldn’t stop it in time. The black fog spread extremely quickly. Everywhere it spread, the surroundings would change.
Drip!
Drip!
The sound of water dripping sounded quietly as if it was hinting at something.
The scene changed in an instant.
“An illusion?”
Bu Jingyun was expressionless as he guessed. Then, he extended his palm again.
“Overturning Clouds and Rain!”
The move of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm left his hand, and a huge wave of air instantly hit the rock wall with an earth-shattering aura. With a muffled sound, the rock wall was not damaged at all.
“No, the surroundings are real!”
Seeing that there was no sign of damage to the rock wall, Bu Jingyun was even more puzzled.
After all, the capacity to alter the surrounding environment was akin to that of an Immortal. He could also sense that Yan Ling was only Transcendent and not even in the Dharma realm. She couldn’t possess such an ability.
On the other side, the slightly pale Yan Ling observed Bu Jingyun within the Nightmare Maze. Without glancing back, she left the cave.
She had underestimated Bu Jingyun’s strength. When she was bound by the flames, she had a vague feeling that Bu Jingyun was not just a Transcendent.
That faint pressure was not an illusion.
“The Nightmare Maze I condensed myself probably won’t trap him for long!” Yan Ling had a solemn expression on her face.
It would probably not take long for Bu Jingyun to forcefully break through the Nightmare Maze.
Furthermore, in the Nightmare Maze, other than Bu Jingyun, there was also the Peerless Sword.
That Peerless Sword had spirituality. Every time Yan Ling wanted to hold it, it would quickly leave, not giving her a chance to grab it.
In the end, she could only trap it in the Nightmare Maze like Bu Jingyun.
Yan Ling’s gaze was solemn. Clad in black armor, occasional wisps of black fog emanated from it, creating an eerie sensation.
Thud!
Thud!
At the entrance of the cave, when Yan Ling walked out, everyone who was trapped in the cave looked at her.
When Yan Ling was fighting Bu Jingyun, she had already come out of the cave to recover the spiritual energy in her body.
Seeing Yan Ling appear safely, they thought that the Peerless Sword had fallen into her hands.
“Hand over the Peerless Sword!”
Ao Tian’s expression was solemn. He held a three-foot-long sword that was emitting a cold light and said to Yan Ling.
“Hand it over. The Peerless Sword is not yours!”
Duan Lang also stood up and said in a serious tone.
“Everyone, have you misunderstood? If I obtained the Peerless Sword, would I still swagger out of here?”
Yan Ling smiled, her voice carrying a hint of coldness. Then, the weapon in her hand that was identical to the Peerless Sword instantly transformed into a spear.
“The Peerless Sword is still in the cave, but perhaps our personality doesn’t match. It’s unwilling to acknowledge me as its master..”
