Chapter 739: Come on out, Grand Ancestor
The sudden turn of events caught both Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang off guard.
Before that, Chu Liang had been diligently using his Demon-Slaying Sword to excavate Thundercloud Seeds. Within moments, he had already excavated a stone roughly the size of a fist. Since he had no way of knowing how much of the refined material it would yield or the exact amount they needed to forge the Celestial Talismanic Wheel, he continued mining.
Even though this was merely a clone created through External Manifestation, he had still brought his Demon-Slaying Sword with him.
His actual form remained on Mount Shu. While he was on Mount Shu, he could wield the Violet and Azure Twin Swords. No matter what, the twin swords were far superior to the Demon-Slaying Sword, so the Demon-Slaying Sword was only useful when he was outside the sect.
If he never brought Demon-Slaying Sword along for fear of losing it, then it might as well have been an expensive but useless decoration.
While Chu Liang was focused on mining, Lin Bei was suddenly attacked. Almost immediately after, Madam Hongyu's sharp cry rang out, drawing both Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang's attention.
Two mysterious black-robed figures with formidable cultivation power appeared in the sky. Their identities were unknown, but the powerful demonic qi emanating from each attack made it clear that they were sea demons.
However, Madam Hongyu's cultivation was much more powerful. With a swift motion of both hands, she unleashed two powerful attacks. Countless blood-colored corals burst from the ground, their intertwining branches forming a massive nest-like structure that spread across the sky, trapping the two black-robed figures within.
One of the black-robed figures struck with ruthless efficiency. With a mere wave of their hand, a surge of black mist erupted, corroding and shattering countless coral branches. Meanwhile, the other figure moved like a specter, vanishing into a blur before reappearing behind Madam Hongyu.
Whoosh!
A knifehand strike cut through the air like a raging gale!
