The Legend of the Immortals Prequel: Wilderness Journey
The dwarf let out a howl, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire body was thrown out.
Duanmu Tie was taken aback and rushed over to catch him, but in that moment of distraction, the sound of sword light slicing through the air startled everyone, and soon cries of agony echoed one after another, a rain of blood erupting like a feast.
Four followers of the Demon Cult staggered a few steps in front of Duanmu Tie, during which bright red blood gushed from their bodies almost simultaneously, and moments later they all collapsed to the ground.
Duanmu Tie was dumbfounded, trembling all over, while the dwarf looked on with despair, staring blankly into the air—where the clouds had dispersed and the wind had calmed, the sword light faded away, and a Snow-Clad Man floated down.
With a light wave of his arm, Azure Sword Dragon's Roar, he silently sheathed his sword. The man turned around, smiled slightly, and said, “You think you can fight me? You’re not worthy.”
Sunlight poured down from above, illuminating this extraordinary man as if he were coated in a layer of golden brilliance. He was spirited and full of vigor, truly in the most splendid, soaring, radiant, and dazzling years of his life.
The scene fell silent for a moment before suddenly erupting into cheers. Ten Thousand Swords in One turned around to see Su Ru running over with a smile on her pretty face, excitement evident as she exclaimed, “Wan Shixiong, you are amazing!”
Seeing Su Ru, Ten Thousand Swords in One raised his handsome brows and revealed a gentle smile that resembled the sunlight falling from above. It was completely different from his earlier demeanor when he had been like a god of death commanding respect. He smiled at Su Ru and asked, “What brings you here?”
As he spoke, his gaze passed over Su Ru's head and landed on three people walking behind her. He first nodded to Shuiyue, saying, “Shuiyue Junior Sister.” Then his eyes fell on the other two individuals who seemed unfamiliar to him. “Who are you?”
Zeng Shuchang and Tian Buyi quickly stepped forward with respectful expressions, introducing themselves. In the Azure Cloud Sect, this esteemed Wan Shixiong was indeed well-known; he studied under the current sect leader Chengzi Zhenren, ranking second among disciples. His talents in both skill and cultivation were exceptional; years ago he had been recognized alongside his senior brother Dao Xuan as one of the most outstanding figures in five hundred years within the sect.
Among these two brothers, Dao Xuan was steady and dignified while Ten Thousand Swords in One was bold and carefree. Within the Azure Cloud Sect, especially among peers, they were deeply respected by many. Particularly during this battle between good and evil against the Demon Cult's invasion, both shone brightly and earned admiration.
However, if one were to delve deeper into it, it seemed that Ten Thousand Swords in One had garnered even more glory. After all, as a young disciple, he had boldly launched an attack against the legendary figure of the Demon Cult Leader Qiu Wangyu, creating an impressive spectacle that even Qiu Wangyu himself could not help but exclaim.
Despite his immense fame, Ten Thousand Swords in One clearly did not possess an arrogant nature. After hearing the introductions from Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang, he smiled at them both and said, “So you are disciples from Dazhu Peak and Feng Huai Peak. Although we have the upper hand in this pursuit against the remnants of the Demon Cult, their members have always been fierce and treacherous; you must remain vigilant.”
Both Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang respectfully acknowledged his words. In contrast to them, Su Ru and Shuiyue seemed to be well-acquainted with Ten Thousand Swords in One, sharing a familiar rapport. Su Ru even acted like a younger sister chasing after him with numerous questions.
On the other hand, Shuiyue, appearing slightly older and more reserved, still showed a rare respect towards Ten Thousand Swords in One.
After chatting for a few moments with the four of them, Ten Thousand Swords in One turned to walk towards another direction where Azure Pine stood. As for the two fallen Demonic Cult Monsters on the ground, he didn’t spare them a glance as if they didn’t concern him at all.
Upon seeing Ten Thousand Swords in One approach, Azure Pine quickly stepped forward to greet him. Ten Thousand Swords in One nodded in acknowledgment while glancing at the person lying on the ground behind him with a slight frown. “What happened to Yun Shidi?”
Azure Pine glared at Duanmu Tie and the short man, saying, "Yun was ambushed by that guy from Blood Skull, hit in the back, injured internally, and has been unconscious ever since."
Ten Thousand Swords in One nodded, walked over to Yun's side, crouched down to examine him carefully. After a moment of contemplation, he took out a jade vial from his pocket, poured out a pill, and placed it in Yun's mouth before standing up.
Nearby, Shuiyue, Su Ru, and others including Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang had gathered around. It seemed that Shuiyue and Su Ru were quite familiar with Azure Pine, so they began to ask him questions.
It turned out that after Duanmu Tie and the group of Demonic Cult Monsters broke through the defenses of Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang, they charged down the mountainside. Coincidentally, Azure Pine and Yun were passing by, leading to an immediate confrontation.
Although Azure Pine and Yun were not as talented as Dao Xuan or Ten Thousand Swords in One, they had practiced for many years and were not weak. For a moment, it seemed that the situation at the foot of the mountain was about to repeat itself. The members of the Demonic Cult appeared to be gaining the upper hand but were held back. However, this time, the short man who had been hiding nearby suddenly attacked, catching both Azure Pine and Yun off guard with a direct strike from Yushi Blood Skull.
Yun, who was slightly weaker among the two, was hit hard in the back by Blood Skull, causing him to spit blood and faint immediately. Meanwhile, a shocked and angry Azure Pine was surrounded by the members of the Demonic Cult, facing imminent danger. At this critical moment, fortunately, Ten Thousand Swords in One arrived just in time, displaying great power as he fought against many opponents, saving both Azure Pine and Yun while also defeating Duanmu Tie and his group of Demonic Cult Monsters.
At this moment, Ten Thousand Swords in One turned to Azure Pine, saying, "I have checked on him. Yun Shidi's injuries are indeed severe; all his internal organs show signs of shock. He urgently needs treatment and rest. I have given him the spiritual medicine 'Tongfeng' called 'Sanqing Pill', which should ensure his life is not in danger. However, we must get him back to the mountain as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."
Azure Pine nodded gratefully, clasped his fists in thanks to Ten Thousand Swords in One, then stepped forward to lift Yun and hurried towards Azure Cloud Mountain.
After handling matters concerning Yun, Ten Thousand Swords in One turned around. It seemed that Su Ru had been waiting for a long time; just as she was about to approach him for something, suddenly she saw Ten Thousand Swords in One's expression turn cold as he shouted, "Stop!"
The four of them turned their heads simultaneously to see that on the other side, Duanmu Tie was supporting the short man. The two had somehow managed to get up from the ground and appeared to be trying to sneak away while Ten Thousand Swords in One was preoccupied. However, it seemed like he had eyes on the back of his head as he directly exposed their intentions.
The two stood frozen in place for a moment, their faces filled with despair.
With a cold smile, Ten Thousand Swords in One strode over while saying, "Vampire Demon, your methods are insidious. How many sins have you committed for refining that filthy 'Blood Skull' and injuring my fellow disciple? Now you still want to escape?"
The short man cursed under his breath and suddenly seemed to let go of everything as he yelled at Ten Thousand Swords in One, "Go to hell! I..."
His words were abruptly cut off as a white shadow suddenly appeared before him. With a loud slap, Ten Thousand Swords in One struck him across the face.
The short man was sent flying backward, blood streaming down his face mid-air; it seemed several of his teeth had been knocked out.
The speed was so fast and the strike so swift that it left one dizzy; even Duanmu Tie, who stood beside the Vampire Demon, did not react in time before realizing that his companion had vanished from his side.
With a snort of disdain on his face, Ten Thousand Swords in One appeared disinterested in continuing to entangle himself with these remnants of the Demonic Cult and prepared to take their lives. But just then, a gentle breeze suddenly blew from within the nearby dense forest.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Ten Thousand Swords in One looked over but suddenly changed expression as he realized that the direction of the wind was not towards him but rather towards those standing behind him—Shuiyue, Su Ru, and others.
"Heart!" Ten Thousand Swords in One shouted loudly, his figure soaring into the air, abruptly abandoning Duanmu Tie and Vampire Demon, and darting towards Tian Buyi.
Almost simultaneously, amidst the seemingly ordinary wind, several dry leaves suddenly flickered with light, and a dark shadow surged up violently, accompanied by a burst of flames that rushed towards Tian Buyi.
Tian Buyi was suddenly ambushed. Although startled, he remained composed, his short and stout body retreating two steps. With a clang, the Crimson Flame Sword was already in his hand, and at the same time, blazing flames transformed into a wall of fire blocking in front of him.
Both sides were engulfed in flames; one side was raging while the other was steady. When they collided, a loud sound echoed as Tian Buyi staggered back three steps, his body shaking but quickly stabilizing, his expression slightly changing.
At the same time, from within the raging flames came a low "Hmm," seemingly surprised that this unremarkable Azure Cloud Disciple could actually withstand her attack.
However, in that fleeting moment, Ten Thousand Swords in One had already arrived. With a long howl that resembled Dragon Roar, the Dragon Slayer Divine Sword was drawn instantly. In an instant, the sword light surged like a flood tide towards the Black Shadow within the fiery curtain.
The black figure snorted softly, seemingly aware that Ten Thousand Swords in One was too powerful and unwilling to confront him directly. She twisted her body, and the flames around her suddenly extinguished. Her figure vanished in an instant and reappeared like a ghost at the edge of the distant forest, shouting at Duanmu Tie: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Duanmu Tie then realized that reinforcements from their sect had arrived and was overjoyed. He hurriedly ran over to help Vampire Demon up and turned to flee.
Shuiyue and others naturally could not stand by idly. They shouted in unison and chased after them. Ten Thousand Swords in One also intended to dart away when suddenly he felt a flash before his eyes; a wave of intense heat surged from mid-air as flames appeared out of nowhere, sweeping towards him. At the same time, a crisp voice rang out—it was a woman's voice—shouting: "You stay here!"
