Chapter 606: Chapter 285: Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Soul Slave Space

The moment his hair stood on end, Han Yi didn’t even hesitate. Under the surge of his spiritual consciousness, the Green Reed Sword instantly swept across, taking the brunt of the onslaught, aiming directly at the Array Master.

This sword’s speed was fast, reaching its utmost limit. Han Yi himself, exerting all his strength instinctively, couldn’t even see the shadow of the Spirit Sword. Even his spiritual consciousness could only vaguely sense the trajectory of the sword.

On the other side, the brocade-robed youth and a cultivator beside him with a talisman in hand, who had just prepared the Heavenly Array, only felt a fleeting presence in front of their eyes, as if something had flashed by.

The next instant, the head of the Array Master, who had just laid out nine ancient turtle shells in the void and was about to activate the formation, soared into the sky.

Everything that happened in this instant was completely unexpected for the trio of cultivators who had joined forces.

The tall and thin Array Master, whose head had risen into the sky, showed no signs of death or fear.

In a split second, the corpse separated from its head and death came without any sensation.

Fast.

Too fast.

So fast that even Golden Core Peak cultivators seemed to have their surrounding time stagnate.

The next moment.

The Green Reed Sword appeared a dozen meters behind the tall and thin Array Master, flickering slightly before disappearing again.

Just before the crisis of death.

The brocade-robed youth’s face didn’t have time to change, but his instincts, as if practiced countless times before, crushed a bamboo chip in his hand. The chip silently exploded, and a dark green light enveloped the brocade-robed cultivator, shrinking to a single point and disappearing in an instant.

Before teleporting away, the brocade-robed cultivator only had time to glance at Han Yi, trying to imprint his face in his memory.

Swipe.

The long sword swept past, and the cultivator holding the talisman behind the brocade-robed youth had his pupils dilate, just like the Array Master, without any time to react.

The only difference was that the tall and thin Array Master didn’t know about his impending demise, whereas the cultivator holding the talisman’s eyes contracted, showing a touch of fear.

But that was all.

Puff.

The long sword passed through his brow, and he fell in an instant.

Within the span of a tenth of a second, two people were killed.

But a hundred meters away, Han Yi frowned.

That was because under this sword, the Array Master whose body was killed, just like the first cultivator, was enveloped in golden light and vanished along with his body and the nine ancient turtle shells.

The cultivator who had activated the talisman, however, had no abnormalities, and his body fell to the ground. The sword intention left in his contracted pupils still lingered.

Speaking of which.

From the moment the trio turned around and joined forces against Han Yi, the talisman was activated, lightning flashed, Han Yi dodged, the knife and sword clashed, the knife broke, and the sword swept. Han Yi used all his might to slice the two of them to pieces instantly, while the brocade-robed youth escaped and the Array Master disappeared.

Although many things happened during this period, the time scale didn’t even amount to two breaths, which could be described as a swift battle.

Han Yi scanned the surroundings, his eyes filled with golden light, sweeping through every inch of the void within a thousand meters. After confirming that the brocade-robed youth was not here, but rather teleported to a farther place through the dark green light transformed by the bamboo chip, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Then.

He lightly beckoned and took back the broken long knife that had fallen below, as well as the unactivated fourth-stage talisman and Qiankun Ring on the slain cultivator, putting all of them into his Qiankun Ring.

This was, naturally, his spoils of war.

This broken long knife, with its sky-reaching golden color, had some similarities with the Evil Suppression Sword in Han Yi’s Qiankun Ring.

The broken tip of the knife had lost its spirituality, and two ancient runes were branded on the upper half of the blade.

Gu Yuan.

This Gu Yuan Knife was a half-step treasure. Even if it was cut by the Green Reed Sword and lost its spirituality, it would still sell for a high price, at least much more than ordinary top-grade magic treasures.

After putting the broken Gu Yuan Knife into the Qiankun Ring, Han Yi raised his arm and saw that the points on his jade plate had changed from 15 to 21. However, there was no change after 21.

Han Yi immediately understood that one of the two he had killed just now probably had no points on them, so even though he killed them, his points didn’t change. The other one had six points, which raised his own points to 21.

As for the two Array Masters he had killed, the thin Array Master was taken away from the Cave Heaven by the Supreme Jade, while the other cultivator with the talisman was left with his body. The unusual situation once again confirmed Han Yi’s conjecture.

The Supreme Jade held by the cultivators entering the mysterious heavenly pillar did not have completely different functions. The Array Master who laid out the turtle shell formation obtained a Supreme Jade with a resurrection effect, while the cultivator holding the talisman obtained a Supreme Jade like the one on Han Yi, which did not have such function.

It was likely due to the difference in importance these two cultivators held in the heart of the brocade-robed youth. This made the brocade-robed youth give them different Supreme Jades, while the Supreme Jade with the ‘immortal’ attribute must be extremely expensive and difficult for even the brocade-robed youth to obtain, so he only gave it to one of them.

The special Supreme Jade was similar in a different way to the illusory body Han Yi transformed with when he entered the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm in Yujing Mountain.

All these were guesses Han Yi made based on the situation just now, but he believed they were most likely accurate.

Then.

Han Yi called back the Green Reed Sword that was leaping and dancing in the surroundings.
