Chapter 101: Lightning Sword Art

Many people heard the roar and left the area. It seemed someone was battling a Yao Beast, and they had no desire to get involved.

Instead of wasting time watching the commotion, it was more practical for them to find more resources.

Ke Qiao looked at the Yao Beast before him. "Your strength isn't much to speak of, but your ego is quite large. Today, let me have a go at you."

Ke Qiao spun the longsword in his fingers, and a clear sword hum rang out.

The instant the Yao Beast heard the sword hum, Ke Qiao appeared beneath it.

By the time the Yao Beast reacted, Ke Qiao had already swung his longsword, slashing towards its head.

"It won't be so easy to kill me!" The Yao Beast dodged Ke Qiao's strike, but the sword still left a wound on its face.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing were not idle either. Taking advantage of the gap while the Yao Beast was dodging, they attacked it.

The Yao Beast knew the situation was very unfavorable for it. It couldn't attack the two Golden Core Early Stage cultivators, and the Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator in front of it kept attacking, leaving it unable to free itself.

Whenever it showed a weakness, the other two would seize the opportunity to attack.

The Yao Beast was forced into a steady retreat by Ke Qiao. With all its might, it created some distance between itself and the three.

"You three are truly shameless! What kind of skill is three against one?"

"You can call for help too. We never said you couldn't."

"The three of us just like ganging up on others, leaving you with no recourse."

"You—" Before the Yao Beast could finish, something resembling a Formation suddenly appeared above its head.

Streaks of golden sword shadows crackling with thunder appeared in the sky.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing understood what needed to be done next.

The two moved to either side of the Yao Beast and cast spells to control it. Instantly, several beams of light appeared, trapping the Yao Beast.

Su Yu also threw out two Earth Explosion Talismans, trying his best to buy more time.

Seeing this, the Yao Beast knew that if things continued this way, it would surely die.

But for some reason, it couldn't break free from their restraint.

Hovering in the air, Ke Qiao watched the scene. "Well done, Brother Su!"

Su Yu pretended his face was flushed red and shouted, "Brother Ke, hurry up! I can't hold on much longer."

To make it look convincing, while pulling on the chains, Su Yu let himself be slowly dragged by the Yao Beast, making it look like he was struggling.

Ling Wanqing watched the battle between the two; their coordination was decent, but she saw that Su Yu seemed to be at his limit.

Ke Qiao shouted from the air, "Hold on a little longer, it'll be ready soon!"

"I can't hold on!" Just as Ling Wanqing was watching the scene and considering whether to secretly use a little more force…

At that moment, Ke Qiao shouted, "It's here!"

"Lightning Sword Art!"

Suddenly, Ke Qiao's eyes flashed with golden light. The sky above was shrouded in a sheet of golden light, and one could hear the sound of thunder and electric currents swirling around.

In an instant, the golden sword shadows in the sky struck the Yao Beast like thunder.

The scene of this battle could be called quite spectacular.

People in the distance looked at the sky over there, filled with gold and swirling thunder.

It seemed the battle over there had ended.

On Su Yu's side, after the smoke cleared, the Yao Beast had not fallen.

But Su Yu knew the Yao Beast was already dead; it had just died standing upright.

But Su Yu had to play his part well. Seeing this, he pretended to step back two paces. "Could this Yao Beast still be alive?"

Ke Qiao, still in the air, said, "It should be dead; it just hasn't fallen yet."

Hearing this, Su Yu shot out a bolt of Sword Qi, and sure enough, the Yao Beast crashed to the ground.

Ke Qiao flew down. "How was that? Was it cool?"

Su Yu cooperatively gave him a thumbs-up.

"I told you, with the three of us working together, this Secret Realm is basically no problem. We aren't unlucky enough to run into the few Late Stage Golden Core Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm."

"Alright, let's process this Yao Beast, pick that Spirit Medicine, and then continue moving."

"Let's try to find as many treasures as we can to bring back."

After packing up their things, the three continued to explore the Secret Realm.

During the process, they encountered some Yao Beasts, though they rarely met those at the Golden Core Stage.

Most were just Foundation Establishment Stage level 9 Yao Beasts, but in their eyes, they were nothing; they were basically killed instantly.

As another Golden Core Middle Stage Yao Beast fell, the cooperation between the three became increasingly smooth.

Now, their efficiency in dealing with Golden Core Stage Yao Beasts was much faster than before.

Su Yu looked at the fallen Yao Beast. "Alright, it's about time we left. This Secret Realm is coming to an end soon."

"Our harvest this time is quite substantial. The Materials from those Golden Core Stage Yao Beasts will be enough for us to use for a while."

Ling Wanqing and Ke Qiao nodded.

It was just as Ke Qiao had said; they didn't encounter any Late Stage Golden Core Yao Beasts. After all, there were few such beasts in the Secret Realm, and the Secret Realm was exceptionally large, so it wasn't easy to run into them. Generally, as long as you didn't go looking for death, there wouldn't be any trouble.

But Su Yu felt that if Ye Lin were here, he would definitely run into a Late Stage Golden Core Yao Beast and perhaps obtain some benefit from it as a result.

Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu and the other. "Let's go first. We'll split the resources after we get out."

After the three exited the Secret Realm, they went to a Restaurant and sat in a private room.

Ke Qiao brought out everything they had obtained this time.

A large pile was stacked on the floor. "A great harvest, a great harvest!"

After the three divided the resources, Su Yu called out, "Waiter!"

He remembered back when others used to call him that.

"Coming, Honored Guest! What would you like to order?"

After they ordered their food, Su Yu asked, "Miss Ling, you should be returning to the Divine Wind Dynasty soon, right?"

"That's right. I have things to take care of back home. I've been out for a while now, and this time spent with you, Brother Su, was quite relaxing."

Su Yu didn't say anything more. "Then we shall meet again if there is an opportunity."

As a Passerby, he should have some Passerby-like dialogue.

Ke Qiao also nodded. "Indeed, Miss Ling, let's meet again if there's a chance."

After finishing the meal, Ling Wanqing said goodbye to Su Yu and the other, then left.

Flying through the air, Ling Wanqing felt that such a relaxed and easy journey was quite nice.

No one recognized them, and they wouldn't be unlucky enough to run into any bad events. It was better to stay disguised. She hadn't expected those two to be from the Profound Heaven Sect.

The two Sects had always had a relatively friendly relationship; this could be considered a form of fate.

Just after Ling Wanqing left, Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu and said, "What a pity, Brother Su."

Su Yu was a bit confused. "What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that Miss Ling looks ordinary, though her temperament is quite good. If she were better looking, her path of cultivation might have been a bit easier."

Appearance certainly had its advantages, but it was also a double-edged sword.

But if you knew she was Ling Wanqing, I don't know what expression you would make.

"Alright, let's head back to the Sect as well."

The two returned to the Profound Heaven Sect. After parting ways with Ke Qiao, Su Yu went to find that book with the lotus mark.

He wanted to see what was special about that lotus mark.
