Chapter 57: Driving Ten Thousand Swords

This experience in the Reincarnation Secret Realm will likely be unforgettable for everyone present.  Having barely escaped the Blood Clan’s abyss, they fell into an endless illusion filled with beasts.

Li Yang stepped onto her Xuan sword, pulling Ning Shiyan along as they ran, asking, “What did you guys do?”

Bai Yu: “I don’t know. We accidentally fell into an illusion and spent three hours inside.”

“Three hours…?” Bai Yu: “Do you know how we spent those three hours?”

The number of beasts was still increasing.

Li Yang glanced back, noticing that the beasts were identical, all with Xuan swords stuck in their butts.

“Huh?” She paused. “Isn’t that my sword?”

The group gathered again. Fang Yizhou immediately felt guilty, looking up at the endless night.

Turning around, he saw countless eerie beast eyes, all fixed on him, their hatred multiplied countless times.

Qiu Qiu also recognized the beast that had bitten its tail.  It bared its teeth fiercely, its entire panda body bristling.

However, after seeing one, two, … many, many identical beasts, its fur unexpectedly calmed down. It huddled in Li Yang’s arms, silently sulking.

Unlike most, Qi Buli, Zhuang Churan, and the other stoic cultivators drew their swords and charged into the beast swarm without hesitation.

Luo Qingyang of the Taixu Sect was the only cultivator who could communicate with the outside world. After a moment of silence, he revealed the truth he knew.

“There’s a replicating illusion within the Reincarnation Secret Realm. Before the Blood Clan left, they took the illusion bells that controlled the illusion. My Master contacted me two hours ago, telling me to check it out, but it was too late when I got there.”

In order to escape, Lin Ya had forcefully broken through a transparent barrier between the illusion and the secret realm, bringing the repeatedly replicated beasts from the illusion into this realm.

There were at least a thousand of them.

This beast was unlucky indeed.  It first bit Qiu Qiu in the snowy wasteland, then lost its teeth from the cold, and then accidentally stepped onto a teleportation array, arriving at Fang Yizhou’s inheritance, where Fang Yizhou stabbed a sword into its butt, causing it to flee in panic towards the secret realm.

But it was because of this unlucky experience that the beast’s blood unexpectedly merged with the illusion’s essence, becoming one with the illusion that was about to dissipate, creating more and more beasts endlessly.

“What do we do now?” Lou Qi asked.

Luo Qingyang: “The City Lord of Bihai City said the secret realm’s teleportation array is almost repaired. The Reincarnation Secret Realm can no longer be explored. He promised to teleport us out before dawn, probably in another two hours.”

Luo Qingyang’s abilities were limited; he could only hear these things through his sect’s unique communication method.

“Five hours…” Li Yang pondered, propping her chin up. “Do you think if a beast eats me, how long it would take to digest?”

Lin Ya: “Probably less than an incense stick of time.”

“That definitely won’t work.” Li Yang was a little regretful. “I thought we could hide in a beast’s stomach.”

Lin Ya:”

“No need, it’s only two hours.”

Looking at the overwhelming number of beasts, a glint flashed in Lou Qi’s eyes.

Two hours… only…

Qi Buli came from the battlefield, expressionless as he kicked several Wanjian Sect cultivators down, his voice cold: “Then, fight.”

Zhuang Churan also grabbed Bai Yu and Lin Ya, throwing them into the battlefield, and Lou Qi threw Li Yang in as well: “Gold Core beasts, perfect for you to practice.”???”

The three unfortunate siblings, thrown into the beast pile by their senior brothers and sisters, looked at each other.

Then, they simultaneously and tacitly screamed, “Ah!”

They couldn’t defeat the Blood Clan, but they could handle these beasts.

One of the beasts lunged at Li Yang.

The little ball in her arms shrank in fear, closed its eyes, and slapped it.

You… don’t come near me.

The beast flew out like a shooting star.

Li Yang and Qiu Qiu were both stunned.

“Wow”

When another demon beast approached, she held up the panda cub.

The cub, named Ball, cooperated and waved its paw, but this attack was ineffective.

Li Yang leaped into the air with a flick of her wrist.

The little cub, with tear-filled eyes, turned its head to show Li Yang its sore paw.

It seemed its abilities were unstable and could only be activated under certain conditions.

Li Yang analyzed the situation and flew back to stuff Ball into Ning Shiyan’s arms: “Fifth Senior Brother, please hold him for me.”

After handing the child to Ning Shiyan, Li Yang did not immediately return to the battlefield but instead squatted on the cliff for a moment, observing.

Lou Qi: “What are you looking at?”

She propped her head with both hands: “Big Senior Brother, you said that when illusions are divided in two, and then two into many, are there any ties between the things that are derived?”

He was silent for a moment, not understanding: “What do you mean?”

Li Yang got up, lightly tapping her toes, and leaped into the valley, her fingertips swirling with spiritual energy.

The ground shook for a moment.

Qi Buli looked up: “What is she trying to do again?”

“How can a Foundation Establishment-level sword cultivator have such an aura?”

The girl stood in the air, her devout look as if she were summoning something.

Yu Xiao noticed the problem: “The swords on these demon beasts are moving.”

All the swords on the demon beasts, as if sensing Li Yang’s call, were trembling violently.

Meng Zhang asked: “What is the reason for this?”

Fang Yi Zhou answered expressionlessly: “Because the swords on those demon beasts are all hers.”

They were formed from her Xuan Sword, and each one had a connection with her.

Meng Zhang was stunned and exclaimed: “When did she become so perverted?  She’s using her Xuan Sword to stab demon beasts in the butt.” He looked at Fang Yi Zhou: “Big Senior Brother, how do you know?”

Fang Yi Zhou:”

There were as many Xuan Swords as there were demon beasts.

But… could Li Yang really control so many swords?

Fang Yi Zhou looked up and continued to watch, feeling a bit of anticipation.

A circle of golden light surrounded the girl.

It was as if she could control countless swords with her fingertips, her spiritual energy flowing rapidly.

“That is…” Bai Yu was slightly stunned: “The second level of the Nine Turns Infinite Technique.”

“When did she learn it…”

Zhuang Chu Ran guessed the answer: “Probably when she witnessed Big Senior Brother and Qi Buli fighting.”

Li Yang felt that everything in the world was empty.

She closed her eyes, and the surrounding sounds gradually faded away, but she could feel countless spiritual energy lines spreading from her fingertips, densely connecting to the swords.

She tentatively moved her fingertips, and the demon beasts’ resistance was like a violent whirlwind, spinning upwards from below.

The Xuan Swords were like jacks, falling between the rocks. One or two was easy, but with countless demon beasts and countless Xuan Swords, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

“How can she pull out so many swords at the same time?” Qi Buli said coldly.

But it had to be admitted that because Li Yang had attracted the attention of the demon beasts, they were much more relaxed now.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, as bright as stars.

She gritted her teeth, deciding to go all out.

If she couldn’t pull them out, then she could change her approach.
