Chapter 56: The Martial Grandmaster
The dark heavens were continuous lit by the brilliant explosive bursts of purple and white lightning that streaked thunderously with dozens of forks across the heavens and the earth; it thundered so violently every now and then that it see!
It did not help that the entire celestialnonstop as powerful earthquakes occurred with no signs of stopping
And suspended in the antic black do strikes
Gigantic was not the word to describe the enormous size of the black dome which covered hundreds offor it!
And this colossal floating black do slowly at a snail pace was the mysterious Stellar Sanctuary!
Exactly thirty days or a full ates of the Stellar Sanctuary would swing open to reveal its many celestial secrets to the celestial practitioners and rumored to locate at the most upper level was the entrance of the Immortal Realm!
The Gods’ Realm!
The ultimate heaven for the celestial practitioners who had drea of time!
But in the mountains below, hundreds of celestial practitioners fro with equally earthshaking fervor against a small band of intruders!
The band of intruders was led by a fine looking young hteousness that was not seen in the Celestial Realold divine swords! Following his lead were six beautiful stunning maidens and it seemed that two of the maidens were seriously injured but it did not di spirits as evidence from their eyes!
The fine looking young , Lele, the Stellar Heaven Fairy, Yunzi, the Celeste Wind Maiden and the Chaste Lunar Maiden!
Lie Qing the Heavenly Te’Er the Chaste Lunar Maiden had both sustained serious injuries but they were covered well by the rest of their group
Yi Ping raised one sword strokes after another as he thought, “Xian’Er, Youxue…where are you…”
These two maidens were the first maidens that he had knohen he had first stepped into the ood sisters as they were now When he recalled their feuds back then, he could still re it had caused hiainst her for ‘killing’ Yixian!
But his thoughts soon returned to the battle; it was because thousands of glittering gold and white secret projectiles were endlessly flying with startling speed towards their group!
Meanwhile, Yunzi had whirled the White Phoenix as a shi+eld around her, instantly deflecting hundreds of speeding projectiles aside while Lele and the Stellar Heaven Fairy were throwing dozens of secret projectiles on their own as well!
The Celeste Wind Maiden raised her sword as she created flurries of windforces, deflecting and redirecting the attacking secret projectiles fro “Everyone! Maintain the defensive formation!”
Yi Ping inging the Celestial Antony speed, deflecting and parrying dozens of lethal projectiles that were aimed at him At the sa him with their intricate strokes and techniques!
The same scene was repeated for the rest of the maidens as well!
Yi Ping swung the Celestial Alice with a brilliant stroke from his newly improvised Horizon Swordplay as he cut down a Golden Celestial with a purple sho had suddenly burst in front of him This new Horizon Swordplay had borrowed the intricate strokes of the Virtuous Swordplay and the Infinity Swordplay It was particular deadly when Yi Ping had duel wielded the Celestial Antonym Alice and the Celestial Synonym Alice at the same time!
Iasp from the attackers!
That was because this Golden Celestial was not an ordinary exponent! He was also the current protégé master of the Purple Divine Clan, one of the five most powerful ally clans of the Martial Deviant Clan!
It was unbelievable that he could be overpowered so easily by Yi Ping as he sturound!
He had ti off several opponents at once He had assu was also his weakest and that the weakness of a dual wield would make it doubly hard for him to control the flexibility of his sword strokes It was not wrong at all
But he had assu his entirehis sword strokes or else it would be i swords at once Moreover, he had recognized several of the attackers to be the sohters of the Celestial Realm!
But when he had attacked Yi Ping with all his ies, he was suddenly startled by the overwhelwho had increased his htly off balance but it was a fatal to hi had suddenly slashed the Celestial Synonym Alice at him!
It was not only Yi Ping that was causing panic to the hundreds of attackers
The strokes of the Celeste Wind Maiden were light yet it was equally deadly and power as she parried the ho secret projectiles and the attacks of her opponents seely effortlessly! Those opponents that did not have a weapon in their hands were secretly afraid of approaching her when they saw several fighters that were on their side were cut down by a slash on their necks!
Her sword strokes were even more ruthless than the sword techniques of the Heartless Manor which was also one of the five powerful ally clans of the Martial Deviant Clan!
A seriously wounded celestial practitioner as part of the pursuers that were hunting Yi Ping’s group earlier but he hadwith all his reth, “That white hair maiden is the Celeste Wind Maiden! One of the newly seven hters of the Celestial Realm!”
The weaker fighters that were on their side began to hesitate and were secret alar will!
It was because the Celeste Wind Maiden was not only one of the newly seven hters, she was also the Celestial Priestess of the Celestial Aiel Sect!
If she was here then there was a possibility that the Celestial Aiel Sect roup was just the vanguard to test their deployth!
Yong Le the Right Protector of the Martial Deviant Clan rallied the fighters, “Don’t panic They are few and we are many It is just a ht!”
And with that he had punched several explosive martial forces towards the Celeste Wind Maiden who evaded his attacks with great agility as she said coldly, “You are also one of the seven top fighters I have been waiting to fight you for a long time”
Yong Le s strokes with the hters ranking sih to have a divine sword to aid you Today, I will crush you with ers and seize your divine sword as my own…”
The Celeste Wind Maiden took a step back as she continued to evade and counter-attacking against several fighters at the sa, “Fat hope! If you really as powerful as you say you are, why don’t you ask your lackeys to back off and have an honorable duel withme from a distant?!”
Yong Le laughed coldly, “That will depends if you are able to come into close melee with me in the first place But be warned that when you do, you will breathe your last!”
At the saies from her attackers with her Divine Echo Divine Sword as she sent several powerful flurries of shockwaves around her and her group!
The attackers were astonished that such a divine sword that could dissipate sword energies could possibly exist!
This caused the greed and the deterthened as they all wanted to be the first to seize her sword!
For the sword energies practitioner, a divine sword that could dissipate sword energies was their nemesis But if they could have such a divine sword in their hands, then it would surely further their sword energies skill as well as giving thee over their opponents!
They sihter like Lele would possibly have a divine sword in her hands Except for her expertscythe that was unsuitable for melee There was no way she could have beaten the best celestial fighters or retain a divine sith her current martial level!
Lele see, “Knoho I am from now on I am the Joyful Goddess and I will strike fears in your hearts”
The true reason why Lele’s attacks looked non-lethal was because she was kinder and did not have the heart to kill anyone Only when she was desperate, she will resort to dirty fighting and hardened her heart to use the lethal sword techniques of the Celestial Palace
But luckily, the Stellar Heaven Fairy was beside her to lend her a helping hand as she brandished the Fire E pink strokes to twinkle around her with startling speed and dazzling her opponents!
shi+ shi+ the Stellar Heaven Fairy was startled at how seely easy the Fire Eth into offensivethat she had not experienced before when she was the mistress of the Heavenly Earth Sword
She thought, “Or is it because I am now an ancient celestial practitioner or is it because the nature of this divine sword allows it to amplify the martial power of the internal art practitioner?”
Her thoughts quickly returned to the battle as they were not only trying to fight for their lives but they were also keeping a watchful eye on Lie Qing and the Chaste Lunar Maiden in the middle of their formation!
Lie Qing swung her Perpetual Darkness around her rapidly as she parried the re, the Stellar Heaven Fairy, Lele and the Celeste Wind Maiden hadto the Chaste Lunar Maiden, “Don’t worry I can still fight Just stay close behind me”
The Chaste Lunar Maiden was in awe of this group as she thought, “Is she really é, Luer than I now And metallic weapons are so rare in the Celestial Realm and yet all of them have a divine sword in their hands If I never seen with my own eyes, I will never have believed!”
While Yi Ping and his group did not have any nuht defensive for out for one another
As for the attacking celestial practitioners who numbered in the hundreds, as they hailed from different clans and sects they were unable to co-ordinate their attacks and everyone that their own agenda
What turned out to be a nue had all of a sudden turned into pande celestial practitioners were themselves hit by the secret projectiles froroup was too s!
This was actually the plan of Yi Ping’s group before they had arrived!
It was first proposed by the Stellar Heaven Fairy who asked when they had beaten off the hostile attackers earlier, “We can follow them to their camps Then we can hope to reach Yixian and Youxue in a nick of time However, that will be reckless and suicidal But if we htly held formation, we may have a chance What do you think?”
Yi Ping had said quietly, “I guess we have to try No matter what, we cannot leave them there alone”
Lie Qing nodded weakly as she grasped his ar here alone!”
Lele laughed softly, “We have beaten them off but we didn’t introduce ourselves properly I really think we should pay them another visit…”
Her soft laughter was suddenly interrupted by a tearful Jing’Er the Chaste Lunar Maiden who had walked towards the the Stellar Heaven Fairy and hugging her emotionally, “shi+ shi+? It is really you? I can’t believe it, really! I miss you so much…”
shi+ shi+ was equally eain There was a ti Min and you…”
Jing’Er said excitedly, “Sister Min’Er is still alive too I have feared the worst for the two of you and have nighter now because my two closest sisters are still with me!”
shi+ shi+ gasped, “Yang Min is still alive? Where is she now? I really miss her so much too…”
Jing’Er sighed softly, “Actually I only know today that she is still alive and is noith the Martial Deviant Clan…”
At thisweakly
Jing’Er was suddenly looking shyly at Yi Ping and was flushi+ng Earlier when Yi Ping had first appeared and charged into the battle, she had already taken notice of hi hero in white with his spirited and tender eyes!
She s as she teased shi+ shi+, “Sister, who is he? I see that he is with you Is that my brother-in-law?”
shi+ shi+ s at Yi Ping, “Oh well Let Ping’Er introduce himself to you then”
Yi Ping immediately bowed respectfully with his hands to introduce hi is my namesake”
Jing’Er gasped as she looked at Lele, Yunzi and Lie Qing as she recalled that they were looking for a Ping’Er, “He is your man?”
Lele said coldly, “It is good that you know So you have better keep away from him!”
At the same time, she had also noticed the Celeste Wind Maiden and was subtly warning her to keep away fro at the same time!
The Celeste Wind Maiden scoffed quietly in respond as she looked coldly at her
Jing’Er continued to look at Yi Ping shyly, “Do you have any celestial na’Er if you want…”
Yi Ping answered, “Maiden Jing’Er, I don’t have any celestial name…”
shi+ shi+ interrupted with a soft laughter, “But everyone calls you the Lord of the Tranquil City now after you have won a duel with the Immortal Saint of Swords there”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly, “That is because they didn’t know my name”
Jing’Er said shyly, “That is so true I didn’t know your name until today as well But I have heard of your exploits Do you know that you are now so famous in the Celestial Realm?”
Yi Ping smiled aardly, “Is it? I didn’t know It is only a fluke He has actually stayed his hand I not sure if I can live if he uses his Inverting Eternal Occurrence”
Lele cut in coldly, “We don’t have much tih we have plenty of time”
She pointed to the Celeste Wind Maiden, “Who is she? She is obviously a dark celestial practitioner She looks like a delicate beauty Where do you pick her up fro’Er?”
This ti as she remarked coldly, “And just who are you? Do you knoho I am? I ahters of the Celestial Realm and also the Celestial Priestess of the Celestial Aiel Sect Are you afraid now?”
Lele asked coldly, “Who? I have never even heard of you!”
That was the truth!
Lie Qing was cuddling close to Yi Ping and she was laughing softly, “Stop chatting or arguing first We should be on the move first and if there are any s the way Our eneht behind them”
Lele looked at the Celeste Wind Maiden as she said coldly, “Don’t expecthand I won’t be free later”
The Celeste Wind Maiden was exasperated as she hummed coldly, “That is what I should say to you…”
Lele interrupted with a cold smile, “Don’t copy me!”
The Celeste Wind Maiden asked coldly, “Who is copying who?”
Yunzi said with a faint s?”
Yi Ping tried to intervene by saying, “We should hurry first”
But he looked at Lie Qing and Jing’Er anxiously, “But I think the two of you should stay…”
He looked at the Stellar Heaven Fairy, the Celeste Wind Maiden, Yunzi and Lele, “All of you should stay It is far too dangerous I will go alone”
Lie Qing protested immediately, “I won’t be a liability!”
Jing’Er said weakly, “I a either…”
Lele gasped softly, “Ping’Er, I won’t let you go alone”
The Stellar Heaven Fairy said quickly, “Surely you are not thinking of leaving us and go alone…”
The Celeste Wind Maiden said gently, “I will go with you Isn’t that the reason why I aet that you still have the Aiel Rejuvenation Divine Pill froest that you take it now for the effects of the divine pill will need some time to take effect It will be too late if you consuht or do you think your opponent will allow you to do so?”
