Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473: The Li Family of Ming Sword! (2/3) Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473: The Li Family of Ming Sword! (2/3) Above the sea, waves surged tumultuously as a bright moon, hook-like, faintly glimmered through the dark clouds.

The Qingming Beast, like a moving island, was slowly rising. Its body, although without Scale Armor, exuded a toughness like that of celestial black iron, invulnerable to sword or spear.

Wrapped around its formidable body, water vapor swirled as though the essence of the entire Qingming Sea was converging upon it, carrying a force capable of destroying heaven and earth. Should any power from the surrounding area of the Qingming Sea dare to approach, they would be crushed to pieces by this overwhelming strength!

Gazing at the enraged Qingming Beast, two elderly figures hovered beneath the dark clouds. Their robes flapped wildly in the fierce wind, yet their eyes were resolute and grave. Each held a three-foot-long blade with an edge so chilling that it emitted a penetrating cold, their sword intent soaring to the heavens.

Two streams of Soaring Sword Intent contended with the towering waves, neither able to overcome the other.

Although the Xuanyuan Family had two Divine Realm powerhouses who had withstood two layers of lightning tribulation,

This was the Qingming Sea. Here, the power of the Qingming Beast was greatly amplified. After amassing the collective strength of the Qingming Sea, it too was able to stand its ground against the two elders of the Xuanyuan Family.

With an enraged roar, the Qingming Beast moved its massive body and swung its huge tail, lifting waves high as mountains, surging towards the two old men with the force of a landslide.

The two exchanged a glance, their expressions grave. After a slight nod to each other, they simultaneously unleashed a slash, instantly erupting with dazzling sword beams!

Where the sword beams passed, it was as if the heavens themselves had been cleaved open!

Even the dark clouds above were split in two, the slash bearing down upon the Qingming Beast’s tail that loomed like a majestic mountain range!

However, the strike did not directly hit the Qingming Beast’s massive tail. Around the tail, the thick water vapor acted like an impregnable fortress, repelling the attack.

Sword qi and water vapor intertwined, clashing continuously.

Water vapor dispersed and condensed repeatedly, resembling a curtain of mist that pierced through heaven and earth, isolating the Qingming Beast from the two Divine Realm sword cultivators as if severing this world into two halves.

And this was merely one blow.

The entire Qingming Sea—and even the surrounding sea areas—were stirred into successive tsunamis.

Even nearby islands shook violently!

Among them, Yulin City was the most affected.

Yulin City was the closest to the Qingming Sea.

The ground collapsed, buildings crumbled, and everyone’s expressions changed dramatically as they fled in all directions.

From the Ai Family, Ai Shouxian immediately bellowed, “Transfer all the materials in the shops into the interspatial rings!”

Ai Zhi steadied herself, looked in the direction of the depths of the Qingming Sea, feeling the overwhelming pressure, her face filled with tension and worry.

In the small loft, Mo Xun watched the Qingming Sea with a solemn gaze.

He had a premonition that this commotion was most likely related to Ye Qiubai. Chances are, it was nearly certain…

“No wonder that kid asked me to build a ship of this caliber,” Mo Xun scoffed, “If he doesn’t bring my masterpiece back intact, just wait and see…”

After speaking, Mo Xun looked towards the Qingming Sea again, his eyes betraying a hint of worry.

…

At this moment,

At the heart of the storm, Ye Qiubai continuously channeled his power into the ship’s nexus to ensure it wouldn’t be shattered by the raging waves…

Of course, there was also a bit of power from Lu Changsheng’s jade pendant; otherwise, how could it possibly withstand the aftermath of the attacks from three Divine Realm powerhouses?

While channeling power, Ye Qiubai’s expression was extremely grave as he watched the scene before him.

The two sword cultivators had lightly delivered a slash, but within that single strike was the culmination of their full strength!

With Ye Qiubai’s current realm, there was no way to contend against it.

It was far too terrifying.

It wasn’t just the gap in their realms of cultivation but also in their mastery of the Sword Dao.

At that moment,

A thunderous roar sounded not far away.

“You Xuanyuan Family sure are well-informed, letting you get here first.”

Having said that, another sea ship swiftly approached from the east.

This ship was the same size and class as the Xuanyuan Family’s.

Onboard stood a strong man and a silent man dressed in white robes.

Both of them also held swords, their oppressive might comparable to that of the Qingming beasts, as well as to the two Divine Realm elders of the Xuanyuan Family.

Xuanyuan Family’s Elder Xie looked over and furrowed his brow, “Mingjian Li Clan? How did you get wind of this message?”

The strong man grinned, “Don’t you Xuanyuan Family think you’re minding too wide a berth? Why should we have to inform you how we learned of it?”

Behind the two men stood a refined-looking young man.

The youth simply glossed over the sea’s surface, looking towards the aloof woman on the Xuanyuan Family’s ship, and smiled, “Xuanyuan Suxian, it’s been a while.”

Xuanyuan Suxian glanced at the youth with a frosty gaze and said indifferently, “Li Che, it seems the Li Clan has decided to lay out the path for you?”

Li Che’s face was filled with absolute confidence, and he laughed heartily, “With my talent, who else deserves to vie for this position?”

Although arrogant,

Xuanyuan Suxian had to admit that this was indeed a fact.

Li Che’s talent in the Sword Dao was one she acknowledged as one of the few on the Qingming Continent.

The Qingming beast watched this scene and let out a series of roars.

Just moments ago, if it had only been the two Divine Realm powerhouses from the Xuanyuan Family, it might have thought it could protect the inheritance.

But now, with the arrival of the two Divine Realm powerhouses from the Li Clan, it seemed there would be no peaceful resolution.

Subsequently, the Qingming beast suddenly shifted its gaze, looking in a direction that met Ye Qiu’s eyes.

Ye Qiu was taken aback.

At the same time, it also caught the attention of both the Xuanyuan Family and the Li Clan.

The Li Clan’s robust man paused mid-thought, curious, “Who is this person from? Why have we never seen him before, and how did he come here alone on this kind of shabby ship? Where are his clan’s elders?”

Elder Xie of the Xuanyuan Family shook his head slightly; they had noticed him earlier but simply hadn’t bothered with him.

At this moment, the Qingming beast suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a strong suction force was released from the abyss-like maw!

This sudden suction caused everyone present to change their expressions!

There was no time to react.

Ye Qiu was the first to be sucked in!

At the same time, Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che also followed suit.

The Divine Realm powerhouses from the Xuanyuan Family and the Li Clan had not even managed to react yet!

In just an instant, the three of them had vanished from their sight, falling into the abyssal mouth of the Qingming beast…

The four Divine Realm powerhouses’ faces turned frantic in an instant.

“You evil beast! Do you know who you’ve swallowed? Release them at once!”

Keep in mind, Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che were set to be the next leaders of the Xuanyuan Family and the Mingjian Li Clan, respectively.

They were being cultivated at a great cost with the full support of their families!

If they were to die here, it would cause an earthquake across the entire Qingming Continent!

However, the Qingming beast did not give them a chance.

It dived directly to the ocean bottom, causing the four Divine Realm powerhouses to hesitate.

In this deep sea.

The strength of the Qingming beast was stronger than any one of them…
