Chapter 0005: A Sword Across Ten Thousand Miles

Gu Min did not pay her any attention; what a joke. He is a good young man with feelings and loyalty. How could he abandon his senior sister to escape for his life?

Without mentioning the longsword, just feeling that unparalleled sword aura, he knew that even a hundred of himself would be unable to stop it

She had been conditioning herself for quite some time before, and although her energy at this moment cannot be described as abundant, her condition is certainly much better than before. Since she could not scare off the ghost cultivator, she had no choice but to fight.

Luo Xue bit her silver teeth, swung her whip, and drove back the black mist for a moment. She turned her head and shouted at Gu Min: "Run quickly"

Countless sword energies poured forth, shaking the very hearts and minds of all!

Gu Mincai let out a disdainful sound, and Luo Xue had already reached out to pull him back. A long whip glowing with white light appeared before Gu Min's eyes

Not long ago, he had been severely injured due to a failed breakthrough, and now he was wounded by this green light. This left him feeling furious, yet he also began to entertain thoughts of retreat.

Approaching Gu Min, Luo Xue whispered, "Are you alright?"

The stone flew towards the air, seemingly about to approach the green orb, but suddenly shattered several feet away, turning into scattered fragments that fell down.

That young man seems like he is not a good person, but... he is not really bad either

Luo Xue was taken aback and shook her head, saying: "If I had the incantation, I would have known how to use this thing long ago"

Gu Min stared at the long sword, dumbfounded

Focusing his mind, the old man extended his hand to form a sword finger, pointing at the candlelight pearl in the picture. With a hum, a surge of magnificent sword energy instantly emanated from his fingertip, flowing into the image.

It previously encountered such formidable power only when facing the dark energy in the illustrations and books. Does this not imply that it can only exert its strength when confronted with dark energy?

The old man cast a secret spell on the candle and the pearl. They had naturally witnessed everything that had transpired before; not everyone is as innocent as Luo Xue, and these two individuals certainly do not share the same thoughts as Luo Xue.

The junior sister does not know how to use the Candle Travel Pearl. Although that ghost cultivator is already severely injured, the junior sister is still no match for him.

Before the ghostly cultivator could even let out a scream, he had already transformed into a wisp of black mist and dissipated

Moreover, it is indeed lacking a person.

Moreover, as an ordinary person, how can one run?

The ghostly figure let out a cold laugh and suddenly turned around, appearing as if it intended to leave this place

Gu Min let out a long breath

"Are you going to take him as your disciple?" The woman in the long robe expressed some confusion. Although the Yishan sect has been in decline for several hundred years, she is well aware of her master's temperament.

Within the scene, that candle-like pearl once again erupted with a dazzling blue light, which was then transformed into a blue long sword, with sword energy swirling around the blade.

In the night, this blue light is exceptionally striking

He felt a profound sense of powerlessness

This is not a refined expression, yet when spoken by this woman, it is surprisingly not at all off-putting

The woman in the long gown fell silent for a moment, then calmly said: "It's of no use."

This is the unparalleled technique of a true great practitioner

Uncertain about Luoxue's injuries, and unaware of the condition of the ghost cultivator and the book, Gu Min also had no idea how to deal with that green orb. He could only start by intimidating the opponent.

With a wave of the ghostly figure's large sleeves, waves of black mist surged forth, resembling massive black pythons, rushing madly towards Luo Xue

Gu Min couldn't help but smile wryly; his entire body, apart from his own face, had no part that was well. He would like to say that it was nothing, but would anyone believe him

Seeing that the ghostly cultivator was already inclined to retreat, Gu Min seized the opportunity to say: "Today's matter is indeed my fault from the outset, but if you truly refuse to relent, you will only force me to take drastic measures!"

It turns out that the master values me so highly, and Luo Xue was almost in tears.

Such a miraculous sight, it was the first time Gu Min had seen it; how could his heart not be shaken!

"Senior Sister, did the mountain gate not pass down any techniques to you for manipulating this orb?" Watching the azure orb emit endless azure light to disperse the black mist, but then remaining still, Gu Min felt a bit anxious. This orb must be a valuable item, but not knowing how to use it is quite troublesome.

... ...

At this moment, Gu Min is very clear-headed; the only thing that can save his life is that pearl. Without relying on that pearl, he is unlikely to escape death today

Luo Xue has made her move

She and Luo Xue share a sisterly bond, naturally causing her concern

Occasionally emits a sound akin to that of a cow's mooing

The old man smiled and said, "Such an interesting young man must naturally be a disciple of my Dushan."

At this moment, Luo Xue had already swept over in this direction. Upon seeing this azure light, she was first taken aback, and then felt somewhat ashamed. Despite her extensive research, she had been unable to figure out how to use this item from hetushu.com. Unexpectedly, Gu Min had only held it for a short while and had already unleashed such great power from this orb.

Is Master really not planning to rescue Junior Sister? The woman in the long robe had no mood to listen to her Master’s nonsense. Although she was young at the time, she knew that her Master was certainly not as great as he claimed to be.

The old man rubbed his brow, fully aware that if he did not take action soon, not only would his female disciple be lost, but even that young man would likely be lost as well

Beyond a thousand miles, there stands a mountain

The old man quietly concealed the green bead in his hand and replied with a smile, "The Candle-Traveling Bead is a treasure from the mountain. Giving it to your junior sister to take with her is sufficient to demonstrate my regard for her."

... ...

The woman turned her head to glance at her master and said earnestly, "If it weren't for the fact that the master made a mistake earlier, my junior sister wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

The ghostly cultivator spat out a large mouthful of essence blood, his eyes wide with rage. The black smoke was closely linked to him, and as the smoke was dispersed, he was the first to suffer the backlash.

There are no plants or trees on the mountain, only rocks of varying sizes.

He raised his head, and a rather unique emotion emerged in his eyes

Not far in front of the two individuals, a ripple suddenly appeared out of nowhere, followed by a scene from thousands of miles away coming into view

No one expected that this ghostly cultivator, having suffered two severe blows, would still find Luo Xue to be no match for him

In the next moment, the other party had already turned around, sneering: "You little thief, trying to scare me!"

In the next moment, the long sword swept forward, its immense sword energy tearing through the night.

Luo Xue furrowed her brows tightly, wielding a long whip in her hand to disperse the first few strands of black mist that approached her. However, more black mist soon emerged, and before long, several strands of black mist had entangled with Luo Xue's whip.

Luo Xue exclaimed in sudden realization: "Candle-Playing Pearl!"

The old man chuckled and said, "Transform!"

Gu Min felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, having lost his initial longing for that place in Dishan. Through Luo Xue, he had begun to doubt whether that place was even a legitimate sect.

A beam of blue light surged forth, instantly dispersing the black mist completely.

Gu Min dodged the rubble, unable to suppress a curse under his breath

The old man held a green bead in his hand and said with a hint of a smile, "Your junior sister is blessed and has a great destiny; she will surely be able to overcome the difficulties."

Gu Min's expression remained unchanged, yet in reality, his back was already soaked with sweat

It is as if transparent ribbons are entwining the entire mountain

Once this feeling arises, it makes Gu Min feel exceptionally irritable

It is a very strange mountain, with several rivers flowing from the peak to the foot and then from the foot back to the peak, in a continuous cycle

On a relatively flat area at the top of the mountain, there stands a thatched cottage. At this moment, in front of the cottage, there are two people. The elder has white hair and beard, and his appearance is aged, while in front of him stands a woman dressed in a gray long gown.

And this is merely a single sword

Gu Min sighed inwardly, then took a deep breath. Looking at the ghostly cultivator not far away, whose expression had already changed somewhat, he suddenly shouted loudly: "If you do not retreat, today, in consideration of the heavens' benevolence towards living beings, I will spare you a path of survival. If you do not know what is good for you, then on this day next year, it will be your day of mourning"

At this moment, Gu Min was merely staring at this unparalleled sword

It was only at this moment that she realized that this green bead was the treasured Candle-Traveling Pearl of the mountain gate

Upon seeing this long sword, the ghostly cultivator truly felt his heart and liver tearing apart

The ghostly figure remained unmoved, standing in place, and did not utter a word, appearing to be contemplating its next move.

The long sword moved with astonishing speed, and just as the ghostly cultivator attempted to escape, it was already close behind him. In the blink of an eye, the long sword pierced through the body of the ghostly cultivator.

In those rivers, fish occasionally leap from the water, soaring into the sky. These fish are peculiar in appearance, with the head of an ox, the body of a fish, wings growing from their sides, and a serpent's tail trailing behind.

At this moment, the bead is suspended in mid-air; what if that ghostly cultivator chooses to ignore it

"If you want it, then let it be yours," the old man said with a smile. "However, I must admit that I really like him. In him, I see the reflection of my younger self. It reminds me of the time when I was full of ambition, single-handedly shouldering the burden of the mountain..."

In just an instant, he darted away into the distance, no longer daring to delay for a moment

Illuminate the horizon

When Luo Xue descended the mountain, her master gave her this bead, and it was only after her senior sister's reminder that it was given to her. She had every reason to believe that this bead had a method of control, which her master simply forgot to inform her about

Gu Min easily found a stone of moderate size nearby, aided by the green light. After merely glancing at the green bead, he threw the stone with his right hand, which was only slightly injured.
