Chapter 622 Zhongyuan's Demise: Who Will Remain Now? (Part 1)
The skills of a master like Bu Xu are naturally extraordinary.

Under the vibration of the Sanskrit chant, the previously chaotic and unstable primordial energy of heaven and earth stabilized again, forming a "turtle shell" that isolated Su Che from its influence.

Indeed, the cultivators below who are at the Void Step level cannot compare to Su Che, who comes from a prestigious family and has been blessed by various famous teachers along the way, in terms of understanding and application of the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man.

However, relying solely on his higher level of divine will and more powerful magical power, he was able to establish his own territory and isolate himself from Su Che's influence.

At the same time, a domineering Five Elements Handprint descended from above, its target being the source of Su Che's manipulation of the laws—the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

The Five Elements method was once very popular in the cultivation world since ancient times. However, as it was used more and more, many methods of restraint were also developed. Nowadays, there are not many people who practice the Five Elements method alone.

But almost everyone knows a trick or two.

This Five Elements Great Handprint is derived from an ancient supernatural technique called "Five Elements Five Colors Great Peacock Divine Light". It contains the mysteries of the generation and restraint of the five elements and is most adept at capturing opponents with a difference in magical power.

The Void Step expert inside the cloud boat also realized that the Rejuvenating Core Ghost Cultivator in front of him was a troublesome problem, so he simply abandoned other transformations and used his powerful magic to subdue him.

He never imagined that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole lurks behind.

A faint sword hum echoed in the air.

At this moment, the Longevity Sword Cultivator of the Lihe Pavilion made his move, allowing Su Che to witness the splendor of the so-called assassin's sword.

Kong Kong'er's sword energy was like a gentle breeze, light and sharp, lacking any grandeur, only a perfectly composed ease.

Not a fraction more, not a fraction less, this sword strike perfectly pierced the core of the Five Elements Great Handprint.

The attack struck at the very core of this supernatural power.

No matter how powerful your magic or how skillful your techniques, they will all vanish into nothingness under this sword strike.

What's even more remarkable is that this move was executed with effortless ease; the sheer intensity of the sword intent alone gave Su Che the illusion that he could do the same.

What's even more terrifying is yet to come.

The Void Step expert on the ship suddenly felt as if his Five Elements Great Handprint had vanished into thin air.

If that were all, he would only have gained a little more fear.

In fact, the moment the mysterious ghost cultivator appeared, his innate spiritual sense deep within his soul sensed a discordant note.

The cultivators who have reached the Void Steps can already collect the purest and most profound essence from the universe to nourish their innate spiritual nature. Their spiritual senses have already shown signs of reversing their innate nature. Although their keen spiritual senses cannot clearly see the future, they can still sense important life-or-death events in the future on a whim.

However, this slight discord quickly disappeared, causing him to subconsciously forget the potential danger before him.

This is precisely where Kongkong'er's power lies. This immortal sword cultivator, who specializes in assassination, has almost completely concealed his own existence, and can even block the perception of fellow immortal cultivators. This is also the terrifying aspect of the Great True Illusion Sword Intent he cultivates.

This attack merely resolved the crisis Su Che was facing.

However, the real killing move was yet to come. The Void Elder hiding inside the cloud boat suddenly realized that a terrifying sword intent had already crossed the void and, following some kind of law, transcended the distance of space, and was now truly pressed against his abdomen.

How did I get through it?

This question became his last thought before he died, because in the next instant, the burst of sword intent had shattered his diligently cultivated true form into dust, and his Yin spirit thoughts were completely obliterated between heaven and earth.

This terrifying sword strike was executed with complete ease, leaving no trace of the ship's interior. The futon where the cultivator was sitting remained intact, yet the man himself had been reduced to ashes.

This sudden change has completely exceeded everyone's imagination.

From Lie Xuan's perspective, in just a fleeting moment, Yuan Gongfeng unleashed the Five Elements Great Handprint, and the divine power containing the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements was about to imprison the ghost cultivator.

However, the Five Elements Great Handprint Divine Power inexplicably dissipated, and the aura of the Void Step Elder in the cabin vanished in an instant. If it weren't for the imminent threat, Lie Yi would have really wanted to sneak into the cabin to see what the Elder was up to.

Is it because our daily salaries in Baiyun City aren't enough? Why resort to this trick of climbing over the wall and pulling out the ladder at this time?

However, a gasp soon came from below, completely shattering Lie Xuan's illusions.

"Yuan...Yuan worship..."

"Lord Lie, Yuan Gongfeng is gone."

Gone?

Normally, Lie Xuan would have hung up his messenger and given him a good beating. The most important thing in speaking is to make things clear, to explain what "gone" means.

Did it run away, can't be found, or is it dead?

These outsiders can never be relied upon.

Lie Xuan didn't know what Yuan Gongfeng was up to. He only knew that if this person didn't take it seriously, and the bright moon slashed down again, even if all the cultivators on the ship survived, the cloud boat would lose power and crash.

"Lie Tou, the worshipper is dead."

One of his men rushed up in a panic, clutching a piece of something unidentifiable in his hand.

"This...this should be the largest one left from the Yuan Offering..."

Hot item!

Enraged, Lie Yi raised his hand and unleashed a burst of blazing fire, completely incinerating the remnants left behind by the Void Step cultivator.

What exactly happened in the Central Plains? Even the cultivators at the Void Step stage have explained it.

Wasn't it said that in the entire Central Plains, the number of immortals could be counted on one hand? How come I had to run into one who specialized in robbing and pillaging?

Lie Qian suppressed his anger and withdrew the Evil-Breaking Mystic Net with a wave of his hand. He was a cultivator and a merchant, so he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the sky.

"This ignorant junior, Lie Huan from Baiyun City, has offended the esteemed Master. I deserve to die a thousand deaths. My life or death is entirely in the Master's hands. I am willing to accept this fate."

Since you can't beat them, just beg for mercy.

Lie Xuan is also a straightforward person.

Even the Venerable Bu Xu has turned into a pile of ashes. In the face of an absolute difference in strength, any crooked methods are meaningless.

Since that's the case, let's follow the old rules of the East China Sea.

If you surrender directly, your life or death will be up to others to decide.

With Lie Qian speaking, Li Cang, who was hanging in the sky, couldn't insist on anything, since he had truly witnessed the moment Kong Kong'er made her move.

Although it was so fast that he didn't notice, he could still tell that the person who made the move this time was so skilled that they couldn't even imagine it.

Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything more.

He maintained the pride of a swordsman, and with a light leap, dragged his mangled body back onto the cloud boat. He straightened his spine and did not kneel down with Lie Qian.

This really stumped Su Che.
