THE SKY SWORDSMAN
The Gate of the Cloud city

The day is getting noon, the sun has been overhead which makes the heat even more stinging, it does not discourage the battle that occurred between the 2 sides.

Princess Bilqis continued to pound the men from Qing ruo, which left almost half of the men from Qing ruo dead in her hands.

Corpses scattered here and there with bodies that were not formed anymore, the average death of Qing ruo's men was killed by the extremely sharp sword slash, which belonged to Princess Bilqis.

Meanwhile Yan Lan who fought with Qing ruo was getting heated up, Qing ruo unceasingly used her flagship technique which was the wind phoenix technique.

With that artificial spirit beast of his, Qing ruo attacked the wooden puppet that had now become numerous.

By setting his palm on the ground then the entire wooden puppet created was sealed and unable to move, the opportunity made the wind Phoenix spirit beast unleash a shot of wind from within its mouth, so all the wooden puppets created turned into small pieces that were very fine, and disappeared under the wind from the flutter of the pheonix wings that caused a storm like wind.

Not only that, back the wind Phoenix spirit beast shot the ball of wind from its mouth towards the direction Yan Lan was located, thus making Yan Lan have to use the heavenly fire core technique in the face of the attack.

"Death to you...!!" yelled Qing ruo

A huge wind ball filled with flashes of lightning within it, instantly shot out rushing towards Yan Lan.

Seeing the arrival of a devastatingly deadly attack towards him, Yan Lan immediately smashed her fist that had been filled with heavenly fire cores towards the giant ball of wind that was heading towards him.

"Getter...!!"

"Bombs..!! The bomb..!!

A huge explosion blared through the air, which created an extremely violent shockwave, the trees of a radius of 200 meters fell, the entire Qing ruo's men were killed instantly with their bodies unformed.

Using the body of the Lotus Goddess, Princess Bilqis tried to resist the shockwave's attack. Princess Bilqis' body was now confined within a lotus flower, which protected her from the shock waves formed from the collision of two extremely powerful energies.

Despite being protected from the lotus shield that enveloped her body, Princess Bilqis remained pushed away from her place, which left her protective lotus shield cracked and shattered instantly.

Princess Bilqis endured the pain in her chest and attempted to regulate her breathing back, by cultivating self-healing in that place.

Meanwhile at the scene of the fight between Qing ruo and Yan Lan, Qing ruo was seen being dragged several meters back, with a deep injured body.

Fresh blood dripped from between his lips, which showed that if Qing ruo was already in her slump, the deep wounds he had sustained left almost half of his energy drained.

"I must leave this place immediately, the strength of this young man I'm facing is truly extraordinary, the peak-level Qi realm power I have is nothing in the young man's eyes," inner Qing ruo as she stared intently at Yan Lan who was not the least bit unmoved from where she stood.

Qing ruo threw some balls as big as marbles, then a thick smoke created that was very poisonous and immediately spread in the air of the eye view, seeing that, was, making Yan Lan do not chase Qing ruo, and prefer to protect Princess Bilqis from the smoke poison that has spread everywhere.

Yan Lan made a bubble that covered Princess Bilqis and herself from the poisonous smoke that had spread in the air, until the poisonous smoke could not penetrate the protective bubble created by Yan Lan.

Seeing that the Princess was cultivating her self-recovery, Yan Lan took the initiative to help her to hasten the Princess to recover, Yan Lan immediately sat cross-legged behind Princess Bilqis who was sitting cross-legged cultivating, so she could not help her, and then put both palms behind the princess' body while draining her pure energy, then the energy in the princess's body that had been chaotic returned to normal as usual, as usual, and the tightness and pain felt in his chest, slowly faded and disappeared without a trace.

Princess Bilqis slowly opened her eyes, and still felt pure energy entering her body.

Yan Lan immediately pulled back both of her hands from Princess Balqis body, and reorganized her expended energy until it returned to normal.

Yan Lan immediately stood up from her sila sitting, and shattered the protective bubble she had created, as it saw the poisonous smoke released by the middle-aged man had faded and disappeared without a trace.

"Sister Yan Lan where is that middle-aged man?" ask Bilqis' daughter who is still vengeful to the middle-aged man, who wants to harass her.

"The middle-aged man had managed to escape, but he wouldn't go far because his body had a very severe internal injury, If he is not quick to treat his internal injuries then death will happen to him" Yan Lan said.

"Where are you doing now?" yan Lan asked back.

"My condition is fine, Yan Lan, the internal injuries I have suffered have recovered and my body has been as healthy as ever" replied princess Bilqis.

"If so let's continue our journey, we should arrive at the cloud city before nightfall, all of that to avoid the suspicions of the city gatekeepers," Yan Lan said back.

"Well brother Yan Lan," said Princess Bilqis briefly.

Along the way to the gate of the cloud city, the two of them did not get any significant obstacles, and in the end they both came to the front of the gate of the cloud city which was heavily guarded by the guards.

"Sister Yan Lan, how do we get inside the city while the gate is so heavily guarded by the guards?" ask Princess Bilqis.

"All the problems of the soldiers we can solve with this," Yan Lan said as she showed two bags of gold coins in her grasp.

Princess Bilqis understood with Yan Lan's intention of showing her 2 bags of gold coins, she smiled with the intelligence possessed by the young man now with her.

"Let's go there!!" said Yan Lan who first stepped her feet towards the gate.

Princess Bilqis unhesitatingly followed Yan Lan from behind.

"Stop...!! show me your identification badges" said one of the gatekeepers.

"Sorry sir, we were both herbal medicine seekers in the forest there, because we were both chased by starving forest wolves, making the bag with the identification badge and the drugs we've been looking for fall and disappear in the forest, it's a good thing we both can still go back to the city of clouds," said Yan Lan.

The guard noticed the clothes used by the two in front of him, which looked messy and filled with small tears.

"Why are you wearing men's clothes!!?" ask another gatekeeper.

"Sorry sir, the clothes I was wearing were torn and damaged, so I wore my husband's clothes to cover my body" said Princess Bilqis with a slight expression of her voice trembling in fear, so that the show can run smoothly.

"We will not allow you to enter the cloud city until you both display the identification badge that you both have" said one of the guards.

"Sir, our home is in the city, and we are born to dwell in the city of clouds, can the guard masters help us to enter the city?" yan Lan said while revealing the two bags of gold coins within her grasp.

"Bring them both to see me!!" there was a sudden voice, which made all the guard soldiers agree to the voice's wishes.
