Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 The Danger on the Way to Cloud Abyss Valley

As the three - day deadline approached in the blink of an eye, after discussion, the people of the fairy mountain decided to form a team to attend the meeting, consisting of Jack, his master, and five cultivators from the Azure Profound Sect, including Su Yun. Before departure, the elder of the Azure Profound Sect handed a jade talisman engraved with numerous runes to Su Yun and said solemnly, "If you encounter danger, crush this talisman, and our sect will immediately come to your aid."​The group soared through the sky on their swords. Dark clouds loomed densely overhead, with faint thunder flickering. Jack gripped the bronze sword tightly, cold sweat breaking out on his palms, and his heart pounding wildly in his chest. He kept telling himself to stay calm, but looking at the gloomy clouds ahead, a sense of unease welled up like a rising tide. The artifact spirit suddenly poked half of its body out of the sword and said warily, "Something's not right. There's a familiar smell of blood in these clouds. I'm afraid the Blood Fiend Sect has set an ambush."​Jack's nerves tensed instantly, and the ferocious faces of the Blood Fiend Sect disciples flashed through his mind. "I must protect everyone and not let the Blood Fiend Sect succeed," he silently encouraged himself in his heart.​Before the words faded, dozens of blood - colored arrows pierced through the air. Su Yun, quick - witted as he was, slashed at the oncoming arrows with his sword and shouted, "Scatter!" Jack activated his sword technique, dodging a arrow that flew past his shoulder. A cold sweat broke out on his back. When more than a dozen disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect emerged from the blood mist, he swallowed hard, forcing himself to calm down. The scar - faced man at the head 狞笑着,"You want to attend the meeting? Get past us first!"​Jack's gaze swept around, and he saw that his master and Su Yun were also caught in a tough battle. "I can't hold them back!" He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to meet the three Blood Fiend Sect disciples who were surrounding him. The scimitars in their hands glowed with an ominous blue light of poison, and each attack was accompanied by a corrosive black mist. Jack felt the air grow heavy and oppressive. "Be careful, those are Bone - Eroding Blades!" came his master's warning. His heart skipped a beat, but years of cultivation made him instinctively use the "Wandering Dragon Step" to dodge.​The moment the bronze sword collided with the Bone - Eroding Blades, Jack felt a sharp pain shoot through his arm. His 虎口 went numb, as if his bones were about to shatter. The poison on the blades slowly spread along the sword, and he could clearly feel a cold force creeping through his meridians, blurring his consciousness. "I can't let the poison take over!" Fear filled Jack's heart, but at this critical moment, he recalled his master's teachings and forced himself to circulate his spiritual power to expel the poison. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face turned crimson. Every bit of spiritual power he mobilized came with excruciating pain, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment.​At this moment, Su Yun's roar reached his ears. Jack turned his head and saw Su Yun's immortal sword entangled by an elder of the Blood Fiend Sect, in a critical situation. "I can't let Senior Brother Su Yun get hurt!" A strong sense of responsibility dispelled his fear. Jack was 心急如焚 and focused all his attention on the sword technique. He took a deep breath and executed the "Heavenly Gang Sword Technique・Stellar Meteor." As the sword shadows shot towards the elder of the Blood Fiend Sect like shooting stars, there was only one thought in his mind: "I must save Senior Brother Su Yun!"​However, the attacks of the Blood Fiend Sect grew more and more intense. Looking at his exhausted companions around him, Jack felt a wave of despair wash over him. Just when he thought they couldn't hold on any longer, a clear phoenix cry rang out. When he saw Senior Sister Lu Yao on the fiery phoenix, a spark of hope ignited in his heart. "We're saved!" But the joy of the turning tide was short - lived. The appearance of the blood - colored demon wolf summoned by the Blood Fiend Sect sank his heart again. When the demon wolf opened its huge mouth and pounced, Jack could even smell the pungent stench of decay from its mouth, and his legs trembled slightly.​"I can't back down. The safety of the fairy mountain depends on this battle!" Jack closed his eyes, and images of every plant and tree on the fairy mountain, as well as his master's teachings and the responsibility he bore, flashed through his mind. He connected with the artifact spirit and injected all his spiritual power into the bronze sword, roaring, "Heavenly Gang Sword Technique · Heaven's Annihilation!" As the brilliant sword light shot up into the sky, there was only determination in Jack's heart: "Even if I have to give my all, I will protect everyone!" When he was sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion, his consciousness was already a bit blurred, but there was a relieved smile on his lips, for he knew that he had done his best to protect the fairy mountain.​When the smoke cleared and the blood - colored demon wolf disappeared, everyone was severely drained. Lu Yao frowned and said, "The Blood Fiend Sect is so unscrupulous. There must be a greater conspiracy in Cloud Abyss Valley." Jack wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Despite his extreme physical exhaustion, his heart was filled with determination. "No matter what dangers lie ahead, this jade tablet is crucial to the safety of the fairy mountain. We must attend the meeting!" He was well aware that the path he had embarked on was full of difficulties and obstacles, but as long as he thought of the fairy mountain and his companions, nothing could make him retreat.​After a short rest, the group continued flying towards Cloud Abyss Valley. Jack looked ahead, his heart filled with both worry about the unknown dangers and the resolve to face the challenges. He understood that in this struggle in the world of cultivating immortals, he had no way back. Only by moving forward bravely could he protect everything he held dear. And the mysterious forces secretly following them in the shadows would soon become a severe test he had to confront.
