921: Chapter 257: The Thai Zu Hidden Behind 921: Chapter 257: The Thai Zu Hidden Behind Three sword lights shattered the Nine Heavens.
The swordbearers were three Stepping Sky Seven-folds, one elder and two younger ones, all with faces as cold as ice.
Initially, five had hunted Ji Feixue.
Now in just a few days, two had been slain!
Over these past days, Ji Feixue had mainly been treasure hunting and had not battled with them.
Today was only the second formal fight!
Just as they discovered Ji Feixue finding the long-sought treasure, they sprung out to suppress it, only to find Ji Feixue abandoning the treasure, suddenly turning to slay two brothers.
Now the treasure lay beneath their suppression.
If not for the fact that most of their strength had been used to suppress the treasure, the two brothers would not have been slain by Ji Feixue’s sword!
Although the five came from different origins, they met during the Opening Heaven Three-fold and had called each other brothers for tens of thousands of years, never expecting two to perish here.
The three struck with resentment, their sword lights forming a Three Talents Formation, directly striking at Ji Feixue.
It was at this moment that a roar was heard from within the East Cloud Mountain, as a Dragon Turtle parted the waters and approached.
The Dragon Turtle was not large, merely over a zhang in length, but before it even reached half of the sky, the whole sky had turned dark, and thunder and torrential rain roared due to the Dragon Turtle Majesty.
The Dragon Turtle came with wind and rain!
A Water attribute Dragon Turtle!
Murder intent was fierce in the pair of dragon eyes!
The three swordbearers exchanged glances, their decades of fellowship allowing them to understand each other’s thoughts with just one look.
“Eldest brother, what could be the Dragon Turtle’s intent in coming here?”
“I do not know!”
“The Dragon Turtle Tribe and the Dragon Clan have always been as close as branches of the same tree.
Could it be that it senses Ji Feixue’s presence and is here to suppress her?”
Ji Feixue is a wanted criminal in the Dragon Clan, dead or alive!
“Possibly!
But it may also be after the treasure.”
With abundant water essence beneath Yunmeng Ze, it must be a Water attribute Divine God Object.
How could a Water attribute Dragon Turtle pass up such a treasure?
“Retreat!” The leading elder made a decision in an instant.
They bore no enmity toward the Dragon Turtle, which would not trouble them upon arrival.
If it weren’t for the treasure, it must be for Ji Feixue, and continuing to suppress the treasure would only add the possibility of becoming enemies with the Dragon Turtle.
Better to let go and let the Dragon Turtle and Ji Feixue fight it out!
At the elder’s command, the three simultaneously retreated, dispersing in a triangle formation in three directions.
With the suppression lifted, a red light rose from the water, shooting straight to the sky.
Ji Feixue was seen high in the Nine Heavens, her Immortal Sword turning to puncture three swords, just breaking the earlier sword lights, when she was engulfed by the red light below.
And yet within the red light, there was no sensation of an attack, nor any discomfort—on the contrary, it felt rather soothing.
Beneath the red light, Yunmeng Ze’s water churned, the water essence surging toward the sky.
Dui Gua?
Ji Feixue frowned slightly, knowing hexagrams were difficult to tame and would only accept a willing tribute.
Today, as she passed by, Yunmeng Ze erupted and something was about to break through the water.
However, before she could investigate, those five sprang out.
With the three gone, the phenomenon emerged again—could it be Dui Gua recognizing its master?
But why would Dui Gua emit red light?
Pondering thus, Ji Feixue saw Yunmeng Ze explode, and a splendid scroll rose to the heavens.
The Law twined around the splendid scroll.
This rampant Law was unheard of—it was the intensity that the legendary Innate Divine God Objects could amass.
From afar, Su He leapt forward and saw Ji Feixue enveloped in the red light, his face darkened as the Divine God Machine twinkled and approached.
Beneath Yunmeng Ze, the red light grew even more intense, with something charging straight at Ji Feixue as the Law sprayed forth.
Su He roared, plunging his head into the red light, biting at the scroll-like object.
At the same time, Ji Feixue seized the splendid scroll.
Upon touching the scroll, a silky sensation came over her, and a familiar feeling arose.
The Marriage Certificate!
This wasn’t an attack; it was the Marriage Certificate revealing itself, choosing a master!
She had seen the Marriage Certificate before in Ji Feixue’s hands in the present age, and then again in the hands of the Ancient Tan Tai Immortal Sovereign.
Su He was not unfamiliar with it, just that he had never seen it in such a state before and had not recognized it at a glance.
It was a bit awkward.
Was this meeting to snatch the treasure of his future bride?
Su He looked up to see Ji Feixue on the opposite side, her eyes slightly narrowed, and the names revealed on the Marriage Certificate.
On the man’s side, scrawled the words “Su He,” and on the woman’s side, “Ji Feixue” was written with the flourish of a dragon and the dance of a snake.
Ji Feixue’s gaze fell upon the Marriage Certificate, and suddenly a surge of killing intent exploded within her.
This was the legendary Marriage Certificate?
Why was it beneath Yunmeng Ze, suppressed by it?
And why did it appear when she was passing by?
Who was this Dragon Turtle?
Why, upon touching the Marriage Certificate, were both their names imprinted upon it?
This Marriage Certificate was the first of its kind between heaven and earth.
Once names were imprinted, they were bound as husband and wife for all eternity.
Ji Feixue cast a glance at Su He.
Killing intent!
Ji Feixue’s killing intent was all too familiar to Su He, especially in this era’s Ji Feixue, who still bore a hint of naïveté, not knowing how to hide her feelings.
Dodge it!
At that moment, Su He made up his mind.
Saying anything now would only incur Ji Feixue’s Thunder Strike; better to avoid the topic!
“Not an enemy!
First, slay the three villains!”
Su He transmitted his message, and with a flicker of the Divine God Machine, he pursued the young-looking cultivator on the left, sending a Mountain Divine God Seal flying with his mouth.
Ji Feixue, having received Su He’s transmission, took a deep look at him, her figure swirling to the other side, her sword slashing at another youth.
The Sword Light and the Mountain Divine God Seal struck almost simultaneously, forcibly driving the two towards the elder.
The recently separated trio was compelled to reunite.
The trio’s faces still bore smug expressions, clearly intending to watch Ji Feixue and Su He’s conflict.
The elder in particular, seeing Su He rush into the red light and bite at the scroll, felt a triumphant scheme unfold, but triumph had only just started to bloom when his two brothers were blasted toward him.
