Chapter 699 - 699 Amended 52 Tonight
699: Amended: Chapter 52 Tonight 699: Amended: Chapter 52 Tonight [Wind Cutting Realm]was cleaved by Sword Qi, revealing the world outside.
This was no longer near Round Turtle Mountain, but had arrived at the border with Pure White Mountain.
White paper fluttered around like heavy snow.
From here, one could already see the majestic Holy Mountain standing tall not far away.
“What a pity…”
Xiao Qi grinned, then showed a regretful look.
She had thought that she could directly move the entire [Wind Cutting Realm] into Pure White Mountain, but this young Sword Cultivator surnamed Xie was too cautious, and his methods were too fierce.
This battle did not last long, and being able to move the Grotto Heaven here should already be the limit.
“The Dao Master had said that the Sword Cultivator’s Heart Lake Sensing is very effective.”
Although defeated, a victorious smile appeared on Xiao Qi’s face: “This [Wind Cutting Realm]was prepared especially for you…
How does it feel?”
She deliberately uttered these provocative words to welcome “death”.
Xiao Qi could feel the strength around her neck gradually increasing.
But the wisp of Destruction Sword Intent that could obliterate everything did not directly erase her.
Xie Xuanyi lifted the woman, took a deep breath, and calmed his emotions.
After the Sword Qi shredded the [Wind Cutting Realm], the independent Grotto Heaven’s drift was forcibly interrupted, the treasure net was cut into hundreds of pieces, fluttering down like paper scraps, and the winds enveloping the Grotto Heaven fell like petals.
He protected Yuan Yi with Sword Intent and slowly landed on a small muddy hill.
“Legends say that only a very few Great Practitioners of Yang God Realm can exhibit the ‘Thousand-Mile Manifestation’ divine skill.”
Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke a sentence unrelated to tonight’s topic.
Xiao Qi was stunned.
She did not understand what Xie Zhen wanted to express.
“Thousand-Mile Manifestation, the soul departs.
This divine skill requires insight into a specific Tao Realm…
For those who reach that realm, even a wisp of Divine Thought manifesting is enough to deter numerous enemies.”
Xie Xuanyi seriously gazed at the woman in front of him, lifting her up with one hand.
The other hand, with fingers together, slowly passed by.
A wisp of condensed Sword Qi cut open Xiao Qi’s collar, revealing the skin underneath.
The Sword Qi slowly cut the skin.
This time, Xie Xuanyi did not use the Annihilation Dao Realm.
He imbued a wisp of the opposite Life Dao Realm into his Sword Intent to sense the blood flowing within this body.
“The methods of the Paperman Sect are indeed extraordinary, able to mimic the ‘Thousand-Mile Manifestation’ and create an almost lifelike White Paper Avatar.
Infiltrating Baihua Valley, your avatar seems more advanced than Chu Man’s.
No wonder it’s not afraid of the Annihilation Dao Realm’s slashing, because your true body is far beyond a thousand miles away…”
Through the Sword Qi, Xie Xuanyi silently felt the blood flowing under this shell’s skin.
Because infiltrating Baihua Valley was a long-term task, this “White Paper Avatar” of Xiao Qi had to be much more refined, but the blood in this shell was not deceptive.
This blood did not come from one person; this “paperman” shell contained the blood of at least ten people.
This was why Xiao Qi, after being stabbed by Yuan Yi earlier, had to recover the blood.
For this White Paper Avatar, blood was very precious.
If not necessary, loss had to be minimized.
Years ago, many cultivators in Great Chu did not consider the Paperman Sect as an evil sect.
Because the Paperman Sect suppressed the Three Great Sects, some even proclaimed the Paperman Sect acted on behalf of the heavens.
But essentially, the Paperman Sect was no different from the Yin Mountain Sky Puppet Sect and the Hehuan Sect.
Those sects’ murders were more overt, while the Paperman Sect’s killings were clean and looked pristine.
“What…
do you want to say?”
It wasn’t just Sword Cultivators who had Heart Lake Sensing.
Xiao Qi also had it, and Xie Zhen not rushing to kill her made her feel increasingly uneasy.
The wind on the muddy hill gradually died down.
Strands of dark Sword Intent wound around the two of them.
The ominous premonition in Xiao Qi’s heart grew stronger…
“This shell of yours is made of white paper.
Killing it like this is meaningless.”
Xie Xuanyi suddenly said, “But what if I perform a ‘Soul Search’?”
“?!”
Xiao Qi’s heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, she understood what Xie Zhen wanted to do…
The power of the Thousand-Mile Manifestation divine skill lay in this.
Because the manifesting person was truly a Saint.
Mo Si’s White Paper Avatar could mimic an “apparent” avatar and was unafraid of death, but if subjected to divine soul attacks, it was a different story.
The White Paper Avatar required a vast amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and the mimicked avatar’s realm would be lower than the original, so in the face of unreasonable techniques like “Soul Search,” its defense was even weaker.
“!!”
Xiao Qi’s mind trembled and lost control.
Without any hesitation, she hastily detonated her Purple Mansion.
But it was already too late.
A silent yet furious wind ignited atop the muddy hill!
The extensive buildup was just for this moment, the instant Xiao Qi’s mind wavered…
Xie Xuanyi struck like lightning, two fingers fell on the woman’s forehead, the Annihilation Dao Realm and Life Dao Realm intertwined and surged into this White Paper Avatar’s Purple Mansion with immense force, forcibly ransacking Xiao Qi’s residual memory fragments.
Before her self-detonation, the Soul Search had already been successfully launched.
Xie Xuanyi achieved his goal by looting Xiao Qi’s Divine Sea.
Time was abundant.
Xie Xuanyi did not have much time to loot…
He did not care about other trivial matters; he only wanted to know how many “Treasure Venerables” guarded the Paperman Sect’s mountain gate and their exact strength.
In a flash.
Xie Xuanyi obtained a fairly detailed incomplete intelligence from Xiao Qi’s Divine Sea.
The one who fought Dao Jiu during the day was named Xiang Ba, whose true form was the “Heavenly Phenomenon Drum.”
Xiao Qi was seventh…
The alias used when infiltrating Baihua Valley was her homonym, her true form was the Wind Cutting Xiao.
Then came.
Qin Liu, Chi Wu, Mo Si, Jing San.
Xie Xuanyi seized six files in one go.
The Paperman Sect was just as he thought, filled with Treasure Transformations, and each Venerable had their unique divine skills…
This troublesome “White Paper Avatar” was Mo Si’s innate divine ability.
These treasures were collected by Lu Yuzhen, given physical shells, and then each displayed an incredible effect.
This was why the Paperman Sect firmly suppressed the Three Great Sects.
Unfortunately.
Xiao Qi’s self-detonation was too fast, the memories in the depths of the Divine Sea were also sealed by white paper.
Xie Xuanyi wanted to dig deeper, but everything had to end here—
“Boom!”
The violent wind atop the small hill exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.
At the moment when the Divine Thought invaded, Xiao Qi decided to die to apologize.
She decisively abandoned this White Paper Avatar and desperately detonated this Yin God shell!
The blast wave was tremendous.
The entire small hill was almost leveled—
Blood mist soared into the sky, and amidst the raging wind, a black figure flew backward.
Xie Xuanyi was unharmed; his clothes were not stained with a single drop of blood.
He retreated with Yuan Yi, withdrawing a hundred feet, and landed on another relatively clean hill.
“Is it over?”
Yuan Yi’s face was a bit pale.
She looked at the exploding blood mist and remembered the self-detonation incident of the Yin God outside Lingqu City the previous night.
Xie Xuanyi shook his head.
He looked up at the paper scraps falling more and more like snow from the Heavenly Peak, colder and colder: “Tonight…
has just begun.”

There will be another chapter at noon tomorrow.)
