Checking in for 100,000 Years

The Longsword returned to its sheath.

As the Divine Dragon Phantom vanished, Jun Moxiao stood his ground. A sneer touched his lips as he gazed at the four corpses.

These four disciples of the Qitian Sword Sect possessed cultivation bases of varying levels; the strongest was at the Sixth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm, while the weakest was at the Divine Bridge Realm second level.

How could they possibly be a match for him and his Senior Sister?

Jun Moxiao retrieved the storage rings from the four bodies, gave two to his Senior Sister, and then the pair continued on their journey.

Neither of them knew the location of the Thunder Pool, nor the whereabouts of the Disciples of Heaven's Pride from the three major Sects. The Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range was vast and boundless, offering them only uncertainty. They had no choice but to venture deeper, hoping to try their luck.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

One after another, massive lightning bolts crashed down from the low-hanging clouds, their frequency growing increasingly dense.

While flying at low altitudes, they had to constantly be wary of these lightning bolts.

These lightning bolts struck without any discernible pattern.

Sometimes an area would be sparsely struck, while at other times, a small region would be incredibly dense with lightning.

The density was such that within a radius of about ten zhang, hundreds of lightning bolts could strike.

Each bolt was at least a chi thick, an awe-inspiring spectacle that made one feel insignificant before the overwhelming might of nature.

Jun Moxiao and Luo Li had to utilize the Divine Dragon Nine-Change Body Technique, navigating through the relentless barrage of lightning in a rather harried state.

"Senior Sister, I fear the disciples from those three Sects are not faring much better..."

After traversing a densely lightning-stricken area, they paused to catch their breath. Jun Moxiao stood atop a massive boulder, surveying his surroundings, and spoke softly.

"I don't know where those people have gone, and there's still no sign of the Thunder Pool..." Luo Li said, vexed.

She leaped onto the giant stone as well, gazing into the distance for any clues.

Their current location was already considered deep within the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range.

Few Cultivators ever ventured this far.

Thus, despite scanning their surroundings for a long time, they didn't spot a single soul.

A flash of lightning suddenly shot out from the dense forest, hovering in mid-air. Leize stared at the young man and woman before it, a ruthless glint in its eyes.

So, it's just two lone young Cultivators, both at the mere Divine Bridge Realm third level.

Even injured, dealing with these two youngsters will be no problem at all.

Hundreds of zhang separated them. Leize's nose twitched; it quickly smelled a special Super Divine Dragon Breath emanating from the two young Cultivators.

These two young Cultivators actually possess the Dragon God Bloodline?

Leize was astonished.

Avarice then gleamed in its eyes.

If I devour these two young Cultivators, the benefits to my recovery and cultivation base growth will be immeasurable!

Leize was consumed by greed at this moment.

Its massive wings beat fiercely, transforming it into a streak of lightning. Dodging the ceaseless barrage of falling bolts, it sped towards the two young Cultivators.

"Senior Sister, what if the Cultivators from the three major Sects caught that Leize and have already taken it from here?" Jun Moxiao mused, gazing into the distance, a wry smile on his face as he considered the possibility.

"That's unlikely. Junior Brother, the Ancestor sent us here for training. If the three major Sects had captured Leize and left, the Ancestor would have informed us immediately," Luo Li shook her head and replied.

"The Ancestor has already left. Can he still manage affairs here?" Jun Moxiao smiled wryly.

"Junior Brother, don't forget about the Big Black Horse. It's incredibly powerful. If there were any issues, it would surely inform us. It wouldn't let us run around like headless chickens." Luo Li's eyes sparkled, and she gave a sly smile.

That Big Black Horse has an immeasurably profound cultivation base.

Now that the Ancestor is gone, the Big Black Horse will definitely help us in secret.

After all, back at the Blood Robe Sect, it was the Big Black Horse who protected us juniors.

Just as they were speaking, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from behind them.

"HAHA, no need to search any further! I, Leize, have arrived!"

Jun Moxiao and Luo Li spun around at the sound.

Perched on a high tree branch, a massive azure bird stared down at them.

The bird was enormous, tiny sparks of lightning crackling across its azure feathers. Its aura was incredibly powerful, having reached the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.

"Leize, you've certainly made us search hard for you!" Jun Moxiao exclaimed, his excitement palpable as he instantly drew his Sword.

The Ancestor didn't give specific instructions for their training, but he and Senior Sister had long since agreed: they would capture this Leize.

At this, Luo Li also drew her Sword.

The Senior Sister and Junior Brother shared a tacit understanding, attacking Leize simultaneously.

SWISH! SWISH!

Streaks of Sword Qi shot towards the heavens, Divine Dragon Phantoms weaving amongst them, radiating immense power.

"You two insignificant Cultivators, merely at the Divine Bridge Realm third level, dare to attack me? Hilarious!" Leize shrieked, its voice filled with rage and disbelief.

It hadn't expected these two unknown young Cultivators to attack on sight.

This isn't how it's supposed to go!

Wasn't I supposed to be hunting these two Human Race youngsters?

How have the tables turned?

These two don't look like they're from the three major Sects. How can they be so audacious?

The more Leize pondered, the more enraged it became. It opened its maw, and a torrent of lightning bolts erupted forth.

These lightning bolts coalesced into broad Thunderbolt Swords, CRACKLING as they surged violently towards the brilliant Sword Light unleashed by Luo Li and Jun Moxiao.

BOOM!

The Divine Dragon Sword Light clashed with the Thunderbolt Swords. After an earth-shattering explosion, both attacks dissipated simultaneously.

Leize was aghast.

How could these two youngsters' Swordsmanship be so powerful?

Even the Disciples of Heaven's Pride from the three major Sects, at this cultivation realm, wouldn't possess such formidable individual combat strength, would they?

SWOOSH!

Leize beat its wings, soaring into the air. It hovered, unleashing a frenzied barrage of Thunderbolt Swords downwards.

Although I was severely injured before, after consuming that mass of Thunder Pool Water, my injuries have mostly healed. I can sustain combat for a while longer.

I must devour these two Human Race youths.

Once I absorb their Dragon God Bloodline, my injuries will heal rapidly! Perhaps... I might even break through to the Nirvana Realm!

Luo Li and Jun Moxiao easily evaded Leize's attacks.

Employing the Divine Dragon Nine-Change Body Technique, their movements were unpredictable, a myriad of phantoms crisscrossing the air as they launched a ferocious assault on Leize.

This direct close-quarters engagement immediately had Leize crying out in distress.

I never imagined that a pair of youths so young would be this troublesome, even more formidable than those Disciples of Heaven's Pride from the three major Sects!

After several exchanges, Leize was already planning its escape.

If I don't flee now, my old injuries might relapse, and I could very well be trapped here by these two youngsters.

WHOOSH!

A glint flashed in Leize's eyes. It opened its great maw once more, and a veritable ocean of lightning instantly erupted, surging madly towards the duo.

"Senior Sister, this is bad! Leize... it looks like it's trying to escape!" Jun Moxiao exclaimed, his gaze sharp. Having instantly discerned Leize's intention, he unleashed the Nine Changes of the God Dragon. Countless Divine Dragon Phantoms streaked past the sea of lightning, pouncing towards Leize.
