Chapter 414 Moon Soul Sinks into the Edge, Flower Pierces the Night

Thunder and fire appeared simultaneously from the distant sky, striking the golden seal and causing a deafening roar that shook the earth.

The thousands of sheep that were originally scattered across the plains fled or stood frozen in place amidst the flashes of thunder and fire. The soldiers scattered outside also ran around in panic and cried out. The two were originally predator and prey, but in the face of the vast power of heaven, there seemed to be no difference between them.

Ordinary people like Huo Yi, as well as dancers and soldiers, huddled together in the small protective area built by the golden seal, trembling with fear. Lü Yan held the Five Elements Seal, exerting all his energy to resist the thunder and fire attacking from afar.

However, the power of heaven and earth was isolated here, and he could only rely on his own Qi Sea to hold on. After being bombarded by thunder and fire several times, Lü Yan's face turned red, and he said urgently:
"Xie brat, let's finish this quickly..."

Rumble…

Xie Jinhuan rushed out of the golden tent with his weapon in hand, intending to find the array master Dugu Yue. However, when he looked up, he saw Chao Chitai, dressed in a golden robe, who did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he held two curved swords, spread his arms, and knelt on the vast land where thunder and fire raged. He looked up at the sky, his whole body steaming with blood and evil energy.

A half-demon can use the technique of seizing essence to refine humans as well as beasts of the same bloodline, just as Xie Jinhuan can refine the dragon pill.

The thousands of sheep fleeing above the great formation, as well as the lone individuals, began to emanate blood energy after the blood sacrifice formation started operating. This energy flowed from all directions and converged on Chi Tai, causing his aura to rise steadily.

Zhao Ling was initially accompanying them, but as soon as she stepped out of the golden seal's protective range, she felt her blood energy surging within her. She immediately retreated and scanned the entire formation. Although she couldn't see Dugu Yue's location, she could detect that divine soul power was spreading along the formation, originating somewhere underground and constantly moving. Therefore, she pointed towards the target:

"Dugu Yue was underground, and she kept running."

Xie Jinhuan knew that without eliminating Chao Chitai, the person protecting the formation, it would be difficult to kill the formation master behind it, so he immediately gave instructions:
"Xiao Biao, you protect Ling'er. Sister Ye, you go and intervene with the array master."

Jiang Xian was filled with excitement when she saw the blood sacrifice formation. She wanted to rush up and shout, but when she heard the command, she held her sword and stood guard at the front of the camp.

Ye Yunchi originally wanted to ask how to locate the array master, but now her body didn't need her control at all. She directly raised her sword and turned it into frost, creating a white rainbow in the air, and struck directly at the location of Dugu Yue.

Sa——

"Eh?"

Ye Yunchi felt that this might be a bit reckless, but she soon discovered that the intelligent driving system was much better than her own driving skills. Holding the Frost Blade, she moved between the lightning and fire with perfect precision in every aspect, as accurate as a human weapon. Although her strength was far inferior to Yang Huaxian's in setting up the formation, she showed a calm and composed attitude.

sough……

Hey? Am I that amazing?

Could the upper body of this person be the Martial Ancestor?
Ye Yunchi looked surprised and immediately gave up the idea of ​​seizing control. He began to empathize with and observe his own techniques to learn.

The array master controls the array and is the array's core, so they are obviously afraid of being attacked.

As the sword energy locked onto Ye Yunchi through the wall, the barrage of lightning and fire, resembling a barrage of bullets, immediately changed, bombarding Ye Yunchi all at once, naturally reducing the pressure on the direction of the golden tent.

Xie Jinhuan didn't delay either, wielding both sword maces as he charged out of the golden seal, raising the Zheng Lun Sword along the way while chanting the 'Five Thunder Cleansing Incantation':
"The Purple Palace constellations, the Jade Pivot Cavern, the Five Emperors holding the balance, all energies uniting into form..."

Stab la la——

The three-foot sword gleamed with dazzling lightning!
The two characters 'Zheng Lun' on the sword also emitted a golden light, like an supreme decree, causing the surrounding blood energy to dissipate in mid-air.

Chao Chitai wielded two curved swords, drawing upon the blood and energy of all living beings. His skin had turned crimson, and horns were even faintly growing on his forehead.

Sensing a blockage in his internal energy, he stood up from the imposing figure of Chao Chitai, his slanted eyes, like those of a goat demon, fixed on Xie Jinhuan who was closing in. He then swung his twin swords forward at lightning speed:
stab-

The scimitars clashed, emitting a blinding light within the extremely dark domain.

Xie Jinhuan sped off at full speed, his vision immediately obstructed. Then, the crisscrossing blade winds tore through the earth and slashed towards him. He immediately used the Coiling Mountain Dragon technique to protect himself, but his protective aura was instantly shattered, and he was knocked back several feet by the impact of the blade winds.

Boom——

Wow…

The golden tent behind them had been torn to pieces, and everyone was exposed to the brilliance of thunder and fire.

With Ye Yunchi drawing away the firepower, Lü Yan's pressure eased considerably. Now he had the energy to pay attention to the outside world and noticed that Xie Jinhuan had been defeated in a single exchange. He immediately began to encourage the younger generation:
"Xie brat, are you even capable?!"

Seeing how domineering the Great Immortal Yang Li was, Jiang Xian and Zhao Ling also drew their weapons, wanting to lend a hand.

After striking with his sword, Chao Chitai did not press his advantage, but instead pointed his sword at Xie Jinhuan.
"A mortal body is no match for me. I've heard you're also a half-demon. Show your true form now."

Xie Jinhuan slid more than ten feet before stopping, holding two weapons in front of him, his brows furrowed.

According to his prior estimation, Chao Chitai's strength shouldn't be too outrageous, but upon seeing him face to face, he realized that this half-demon had been sucking blood on the vast grassland for more than ten years. He hadn't killed many people, but the number of sheep he had refined was countless. He had simply relied on sheer numbers to build up his cultivation level.

The bloodline of the roe deer on its body is known for its greed and ferocity, possessing extremely strong offensive capabilities. Its strength and speed far exceed those of mortals. Although it does not have special supernatural powers like the Xuanjiao, it is a born war god, just like the Yinhu.

However, it wouldn't be accurate to say that they were wary.

Moreover, it is truly intolerable that old man Lü Yan dared to question his abilities.

Seeing the other party's arrogance, Xie Jinhuan neither untied the Seven Star Nails nor took advantage of the divine weapons or Five Elements spells. Instead, he tossed the Heavenly Gang Mace and the Zheng Lun Sword in front of the golden tent, making them readily available for Sister Guo's use. Then, he lightly hooked his finger:
Choking——

The six-foot-long sword that Jiang Xian was carrying immediately came out of its sheath, swept across the vast land, and landed in Xie Jinhuan's hand.

Seeing this scene, Lü Yan was utterly bewildered:
"What are you doing?"

Xie Jinhuan did not respond. He simply twirled his sword, slid away, and pressed his horse-slaying sword against the central gate with both hands. With a slight tremor of his shoulders, his guard robe tore into pieces, revealing his strong shoulders, back, and chest.

His gaze gradually sharpened, as if he had instantly become one with the six-foot-long sword:
"Killing a mere little demon like you won't even require advancing to the second stage."

?

Chao Chitai didn't understand what the second stage meant, but he could sense the aura of perfect harmony between man and sword emanating from Xie Jinhuan. He immediately took up two curved swords and adopted the steady and methodical stance of a traditional martial artist:

"What courage! I've been immersing myself in swordsmanship for half my life. Trying to defeat the strong with the weak won't be so easy."

Rumble…

The sky was still filled with thunder and fire, but the vast earth where the two faced off fell silent in an instant.

A faint aura of blood danced in the wind. With each breath, Chao Chitai's body grew noticeably larger, gradually tearing his golden robe and slowly transforming into the image of a demon general with long limbs, a broad back, a muscular waist, ram's horns, and protruding tiger teeth. However, his fierce eyes remained as steady as mountains, revealing almost no flaws.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and then blue-purple lightning flashed again in the distance, tearing the sky and turning the earth into daylight.

Boom——

Both figures vanished from their original positions at the same time, and a deafening roar echoed across the wilderness!

clang--

Xie Jinhuan's blade moved silently, yet instantly he took a hundred-foot stride, concentrating all his life's learning into a single strike, pushing the blade's momentum to a depth that none of the previous leaders of Jiang Family Fortress had ever reached!
The blade tip sliced ​​through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and even the thin edge of the blade instantly turned fiery red!

Chao Chitai did not underestimate the name 'Xie Jinhuan', but when the other party actually used 'Serious Strike', he realized that Xie Jinhuan was not a miscellaneous sorcerer, but a peak martial artist who was about to form his own school.

This strike is skillfully executed yet seemingly simple; it merely demonstrates a level of control that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, pushing the blade's momentum to its limit. The method is simple and clear.

But the speed is so fast that ordinary people can't see it, and the power is so great that ordinary people can't withstand it. Even if they can see it, ordinary people can only be amazed and terrified. In the face of absolute power, there is no room for defense.

Chao Chitai was an expert. Just by looking at this one strike, he knew that competing in swordsmanship was suicidal. Fortunately, the foundation of martial arts is still physical strength. If one's physical strength is strong enough, there is no move that cannot be blocked.

Seeing Xie Jinhuan's blade coming at him, Chao Chitai didn't retreat but advanced, directly relying on his half-demon body to slash diagonally with his twin blades, sealing off the center and charging at Xie Jinhuan. Result:

block--

Amidst the deafening roar of metal clashing, the ground beneath their feet instantly shattered, revealing spiderweb-like cracks.

Chao Chitai's sword strike abruptly stopped. His two curved swords blocked the horse-slaying sword. His tiger's mouth was ripped open and his forearms were bruised, but his body was not knocked back. Instead, he pushed forward with all his might, like an unstoppable ram, trying to knock Xie Jinhuan over with his demonic power.

Xie Jinhuan seemed to be attacking with all his might, yet he switched between strength and gentleness without a trace. After a heavy slash, before the brute force could strike, he had already slid away and pressed down, leaping across from the left flank.

wipe--

The saber, held against the curved blade, swept diagonally past Chao Chitai in an instant, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.
puff--

Blood splattered and splashed onto the grass more than ten feet away!

Chao Chitai stumbled as he strained to keep his balance, then immediately turned around to protect himself with his twin swords. His gaze shifted from unwavering composure to one of utter astonishment, as he glanced at his ribs.

His left ribs were cleaved through by the saber, and blood gushed out like a torrent, instantly staining half of his body red.

blah blah...

Xie Jinhuan, holding his sword in both hands, stopped ten feet away. After a moment of hesitation, he twirled his sword, wiping away the blood from the blade, and slowly turned around, revealing his perfectly intact pectoral and abdominal muscles.

"That's it?"

"Wow~"

Jiang Xian watched the battle with tense eyes. When she saw his handsome skills, her eyes lit up, and the wives were also a little excited.

Lu Yan was worried that Xie Jinhuan wouldn't be able to defeat him, but after witnessing the two exchange blows and seeing Chao Chitai nearly cut in half at the waist, his concerns were instantly dispelled. He still offered a word of encouragement:
"Slaying demons and monsters is extremely dangerous. Why stop and waste time talking nonsense? Just cut him down..."

Even Empress Dowager Guo, who was the second-best martial artist in the world, found Xie Jinhuan's skills pleasing to the eye.

After all, strong moves are easy to come by, but they can make you look like a crude and uncouth brute.

It's not difficult to make the moves look cool, but it's all show and no substance.

To fight both powerfully and stylishly requires talent. In terms of posing while fighting, Ye Ci honestly lacks a bit of flair...

Seeing Lü Yan making a rash statement, Empress Dowager Guo frowned and said:

"A martial arts fight is different from a Taoist flea fighting from a distance. Don't make a fuss if you don't understand."

"?"

Lu Yan frowned, but since the woman did not seem to be an ordinary person, he pretended not to hear her.

Protected by the Five Elements Seal, Huo Yi and the others calmed down somewhat. Standing behind Lü Yan and observing, they saw blood gushing from Chao Chitai and exclaimed with delight:
"You're going to die now?"

"No, the demonic cultivator has strong recovery ability. He was not killed in one blow, so he was essentially unharmed."

"what?"

……

woohoo...

Asakatai stood on the grass, sword in hand. Blood energy gathered from all directions surged into his skin, causing blood to gush from his ribs. However, it stopped in an instant, and the wound visibly healed.

Xie Jinhuan himself was also involved in demonic cultivation and knew that such damage would not kill a demonic cultivator.

But if he could land one blow, he could land a hundred. This one blow was just to let old man Lü Yan and Chao Chitai understand what true power and prestige meant.

At this moment, Xie Jinhuan did not launch a preemptive attack, but instead held his swords in both hands, poised to strike.

"Come again."

Under normal circumstances, Chao Chitai should have backed down, but in the current situation, he couldn't retreat without orders from above. Therefore, after a moment of silence, Chao Chitai roared angrily:
"Dugu Yue!"

Boom——

As soon as he finished speaking, Chao Chitai raised his twin swords again and launched a powerful attack on Xie Jinhuan!
Dugu Yue was hiding underground controlling the great formation, focusing all her efforts on dealing with Ye Yunchi, who was possessed by the God of War. The pressure on her was actually several times greater than that on Chao Chitai.

After all, Xie Jinhuan is currently only a peak martial artist and has not used any cheat codes.

Ye Yunchi, however, was different. He used his sword to lock the head through the wall, avoiding the spell in advance. He moved along the edge of the spell's range and refused to take even half a step more.

It felt as if Ye Yunchi's field of vision was filled with many boxes, marking the target's location, spell trajectory, range, trap location, etc., and even came with automatic aiming and automatic headshots. How could anyone fight against that?
Therefore, Dugu Yue could only focus all her attention on controlling the formation to block Ye Yunchi, and she didn't even have time to attack the Golden Tent, let alone help Chao Chitai with control.

However, with the two fighting separately, given the current situation, they certainly won't be able to force out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, upon hearing the call, Dugu Yue gritted her teeth and burrowed deeper into the ground, attempting to intervene remotely while multitasking.

With the two working together, the home advantage of Asakadai naturally became apparent.

Xie Jinhuan faced the incoming curved blade and immediately raised his sword to counterattack, but as soon as he moved, the ground beneath his feet turned into quicksand.

Within the Devouring Light and Severing Spirit Formation, one cannot draw upon the power of heaven and earth to control the wind; with an unstable lower body, a martial artist's explosive power naturally diminishes drastically.

Xie Jinhuan realized that his opponent was cheating by fighting two against one, and no longer insisted on a fair duel between martial artists. He held his knife in his right hand and made a hand seal with his left, and a faint light appeared beneath his feet.
Sa——

Then, without warning, his figure flashed to the flank of Chaochitai. His six-foot-long horse-slaying saber swept like a raging dragon's tail, creating a huge wave of yellow earth on the plain, and with the force of a mountain-splitting blow, he cleaved towards the back of Chaochitai.

But as soon as the blade struck, a rock-solid pillar of earth emerged from the side of the Red Terrace.

Boom——

Under the attack of the horse-slaying sword, the earthen pillar instantly snapped in half.

But Chao Chitai had already reacted, and his two curved blades, like tiger fangs, struck Xie Jinhuan's chest and abdomen.

Clang clang clang— Sparks flew everywhere across the wasteland!
Chao Chitai wielded his twin swords wildly, like a blood-red spinning top, and with the support of the formation, he was even more powerful.

Xie Jinhuan landed on quicksand, was hit by a gust of wind while floating in the air, and crashed into an earthen wall when he attacked. Although he was not injured thanks to his "Stepping Steps" and even managed to get a couple of hits on Chao Chitai, the disadvantage was too great and he could not find an opportunity to kill him with one blow.

As a sorcerer of the Divination School, Lü Yan knew that Xie Jinhuan could not be attacked within the formation. Seeing that the formation was not available to attack the Golden Tent, he immediately secretly made a hand seal and tried to use the Burning Heaven Fire Spell to sneak towards the Red Terrace from behind.

Nangong Ye and Bu Yuehua also used their spells to try and break the deadlock.

However, the Devouring Light and Severing Spirit Array had the effect of interfering with spells. Their lightning and fire spells, once thrown out, floated aimlessly in the air and were then guided by the array to Ye Yunchi and Xie Jinhuan. Seeing this, they had no choice but to stop immediately.

After a brief exchange of attacks and defenses, Xie Jinhuan realized that Yang Huaxian's grand formation was indeed unfair and wouldn't yield any results. Therefore, he loudly proclaimed:
"Wife, may I borrow your sword?"

Sa——

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light appeared in the distance, heading straight for the two of them.

Ye Yunchi wandered across the wilderness, watching the immortals perform martial arts from beginning to end. He originally wanted to steal his grandmaster's things, but now it had become—he couldn't learn them, he couldn't learn them...

Hearing Xie Jin's cheers, she was wondering who he was calling when she realized she had thrown the Netherworld Sword directly at him, leaving her stunned.

Huh? Is that you calling me?
Oh no, this is tantamount to officially announcing his mistress...

……

Xie Jinhuan didn't dwell on the details. Using his longsword remotely, his entire aura changed, and he charged forward again with the sword in one hand.

Chao Chitai noticed that Xie Jinhuan had suddenly changed his sword. He was suspicious but did not underestimate him. However, with the help of the formation, he had no reason to be afraid. He roared and continued to charge at Xie Jinhuan with his sword.

But this time the result is obvious!
Before Xie Jinhuan even got close, he swung his right hand like a master calligrapher splashing ink, creating a bluish-white sword aura that resembled thousands of pages rolling across the earth!
A surge of righteous energy rose into the sky, instantly dispelling the scattered blood energy, and even Chao Chitai felt a sense of suffocation.

Boom——

Feng Muhanzhang?

Chao Chitai was not surprised by the Confucian sword style. Instead of choosing to meet it head-on, he pulled back and unleashed two gusts of wind, instantly tearing apart the frost-white sea tide in front of him. The lightning and fire also struck the swordsman who had suddenly attacked.

Under normal circumstances, this offensive would be enough to stop Xu Shengqi's continuous barrage of attacks.

But Lu Yan had witnessed the sword's domineering power and knew that such an attack was useless.

Faced with the quicksand and lightning fire techniques on the ground, and even the oncoming blade energy, Xie Jinhuan no longer chose to dodge or block. Instead, he raised his sword and thrust forward with a 'Orchid Steps Breaking Calyx' strike!
Sa——

The black-bladed longsword, imbued with sword energy, touched the heavenly thunder and earthly fire, and its dazzling light was swallowed up and annihilated by the silent death domain, disappearing without a trace.

Although the gap created was only a thin line, it was enough for Xie Jinhuan to pass through the thunder and fire blade energy, only needing to use his protective qi to block some of the aftershocks.

The earthen wall that rose from the ground lost its ability to solidify with the power of heaven and earth after touching the sword blade, and returned to normal sand, making it difficult to form an obstacle again!
Rumbling--

With a single sword strike, he shattered several barriers and arrived at Chaochitai in the blink of an eye.

Chao Chitai clearly hadn't expected that there were such immortal weapons in the world that could break the Five Elements spells. Faced with Xie Jinhuan, who was now even more powerful, his expression changed drastically, and he could only revert to raising his sword to forcefully block.

Boom——

The Netherworld Sword was not an indestructible demon-subduing pestle; it could only silently absorb the power of heaven and earth, but it still unleashed its sword energy, striking the curved blade and sending Chao Chitai flying back several feet.

Then Xie Jinhuan spun around, like a flowing wind and swirling snow, and made another move with 'A Lone Figure in the Snow, A Melodious String in the Pine Valley'!
Ding--

With a slight tremor, the Netherworld Sword emitted a crisp sound like a broken string or shattered jade, striking directly into the depths of everyone's soul.

Lu Yan and the others felt a buzzing in their heads. They were on guard as the Red Terrace was within arm's reach, and were almost momentarily stunned by the shock.

Then the sword energy that split the sky and opened the sea was like a rainbow piercing through the earth and a frost blade cutting through the clouds. It not only brought out hundreds of bloody mouths on Chao Chitai's tall body, but also cut off the lightning and fire that swept across the sky in mid-air, almost instantly splitting the boundless black domain in two!
Such a terrifying offensive not only shocked everyone inside the golden tent, but even Empress Dowager Guo secretly nodded in approval:
So handsome...

……

Chao Chitai was completely stunned by the combo attack. He originally wanted to quickly retreat and absorb a large amount of blood energy to recover.

But what terrified him was that Xie Jinhuan knew far more than just those few sword techniques!
After the sword strike, Xie Jinhuan spun around and flew into the air, unleashing thousands of sword energies in all directions.

Whew whistling...

The sword energy appears to flow like poetry as the wind blows and flowers fall, yet it secretly contains the spirit of righteousness and the power to pacify all directions.

The sword energy, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, poured down, leaving countless sword marks on the entire land, almost causing it to crumble inch by inch.

Under the cover of sword energy, Chao Chitai had nowhere to hide and could only raise his two swords to defend himself. But in just a moment, the bones of his arms and shoulders were exposed, as if he had been slowly tortured by the righteous wind.

"Wind and Flowers Pierce the Night!"

Seeing this, Lü Yan was astonished. He never expected that the most powerful sword technique that no one in Xu Sheng's lineage had been able to learn for hundreds of years had been stolen by Xie Xiao'er!

This is such a waste...

You should have used Ye Sheng's blind sword technique...

……

Xie Jinhuan actually knows the blind sword technique, and Ye Sheng's swordsmanship focuses more on practical combat, with victory or defeat decided in a very short time. In fact, it is more pragmatic than Xu Shengchao's wide-range firepower coverage.

However, the downside is that it's too pragmatic, like attacking from the left and right or stepping on someone's feet. Even if it could completely crush Xu Sheng in a fight, it would still be seen as a 'shameless little thief' in the eyes of countless female warriors. It would win against its opponent but lose the right to choose a partner.

Therefore, Ye Sheng himself didn't use it much in the later stages, while Xu Sheng's sword stance was obviously much cooler!
Nangong Ye waited for his wings, and when he saw the sword flowers sweeping across the sky, his eyes almost stretched to shreds.

But this was clearly not Xie Jinhuan's limit!
After the tidal wave of sword energy swept across the land, Xie Jinhuan's figure suddenly stopped in mid-air. He loosened his grip on the sword hilt and instead held it in a half-hearted embrace, the three-foot-long sword floating and spinning between his palms.

buzzing...

The vast sword energy scattered between heaven and earth then transformed into a whirlwind, gathering towards the sword!

In the blink of an eye, the azure and white sword energy transformed the three-foot sword into a white moon in the night sky.

The weight of the sword energy made everyone feel as if a sword was hanging over their heads, and even the eight giant statues in the distance began to sway and shake!
In this scene, not only Lü Yan, but even Empress Dowager Guo was amazed. She never expected that Xie Jinhuan could actually reproduce this sword move that had been lost for hundreds of years without the guidance of a master.

"Moon Soul Sinks into the Edge!"

buzzing-

Sa——

Xie Jinhuan uttered four words with all his might, and the three-foot sword, carrying the primordial sword energy, pierced into the vast earth.

The sword's momentum is like moonlight sinking into the river and sea, adhering to the Confucian principle of "containing light within and accumulating strength before unleashing it," so it doesn't appear to be very powerful.

But when it touched Chao Chitai, who was wielding two swords, the sword energy surged like a long wind for thousands of miles, sweeping across the eight directions and six realms, instantly sinking more than three zhang of the ground within a hundred zhang radius, forming a giant semi-circular sinkhole!
Boom——

Chao Chitai's physique was indeed formidable. Even when faced with such a deadly attack, he was not shattered in one blow and was still using his twin swords to fully withstand the three-foot sword.

However, Xu Sheng's Seven Absolute Techniques were never single-point bursts of power. The three-foot sword would touch the blade and spin, unleashing endless sword energy that would pour upwards, instantly riddling the opponent's body with holes.

Moreover, the righteous sword intent suppressed the blood evil, preventing it from using its blood energy to recover from its injuries, making the scene resemble a thousand swords piercing its heart!

Whew whistling...

Chao Chitai was no match for Xie Jinhuan in a one-on-one fight. Faced with the unstoppable sword force, his eyes turned to shock and despair. Knowing that his life was over, he even gave up resisting.

Fortunately, even though the Immortal Ancestor's family fortune was vast, it wasn't something he acquired for nothing.

Zitong is a pawn of the Underworld God Sect, so it's understandable that he wouldn't come to the rescue. However, Chao Chitai and Gudu Yue are high-level combatants that the Immortal Transformation Sect has invested a lot of resources to build up. How could they not feel heartbroken to see them die right under their noses?

Therefore, just as Chaochitai was about to be crushed by the sword energy, the great formation suddenly showed signs of movement.

hum~
In the blink of an eye, the eight illusory figures in the distant sky changed their forms almost simultaneously.

Then, the frost-white sword energy that swept across the eight wastelands suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the Chaochi Terrace below was instantly dragged into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

As Xie Jinhuan fell, his body was locked in mid-air by the power of heaven and earth, as if he were held in the hand of a python dragon. A vast and mighty force capable of crushing heaven and earth attacked from all directions, and the protection of 'Panlong Henggang' was on the verge of collapse.

But this one move has far-reaching consequences!

Just as the immense power of the primordial chaos pressed down, a red umbrella that blotted out the sky appeared out of nowhere and shone down on Xie Jinhuan's head.

A floating golden dragon circled in the sky, not only breaking the confinement but also disrupting the formation, causing the eight illusory images to disappear simultaneously, and the starry sky and bright moon appeared in the sky.

Xie Jinhuan immediately used the wind to stop his descent. Turning his head, he saw a golden streak of light already heading towards the wilderness dozens of miles away. The Supreme Yang Divine Thunder almost instantly shattered the earth, and a faint sound could be heard:
"Wow, I found it!"

At the same time, another phantom image of a yellow unicorn appeared on the grassland. The Bagua formation, which was no smaller than the Devouring Light and Severing Spirit Formation, appeared on the plain. Then the earth was lifted up, forming a huge sphere with a diameter of several miles, as if it wanted to lock people inside.

When the six immortal realms clashed, the scene was overwhelming.

Xie Jinhuan knew this was not his own copy, so he drew his sword and chased after Xiang Chaochitai again.

But at the same time that Yang Huaxian was attacked, a streak of light appeared again on the other side of the wilderness.

call out--

The streak of light, like a white comet, tore through more than ten miles of land in an instant, leaving towering dust waves on the plain, resembling a white dragon splitting the sky and opening the sea from afar.

Although its power was enough to destroy half a city, its target was only Xie Jinhuan. Before it even got close, it made people feel what it meant to be 'about to die'!
Damn it?

Xie Jinhuan's gaze narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected that his value was so high that he could attract two immortals to make a move together!
Fortunately, the evil forces were coming on strong, and the righteous forces did not underestimate their opponents.

Empress Dowager Guo noticed Yang Huaxian's whereabouts but did not surround him, because she was worried that someone might be hiding and sneaking into the back row.

The moment the sword light appeared, Empress Dowager Guo vanished from her spot, reappearing before Xie Jinhuan, wielding the Heavenly Mace.

Sa——

Empress Guo's fiery red hair billowed in the air like flames, and the Heavenly Gang Mace in her hand was also ignited by the flames, turning it crimson. Almost instantly, she gathered all her strength and blasted at the three-foot-long flying sword that flew close to her!
block--

The swords of sword cultivators possess unparalleled killing power, as evidenced by the fact that Xie Jinhuan's chest was protected by fragments of a celestial artifact, which were then pierced by Fang Qingxuan.

If it were an ordinary weapon, such a head-on collision would likely result in it being pierced by the old Taoist Kongkong's flying sword.

But the Heavenly Mace was clearly different. The two weapons collided in mid-air when wielded by a sixth-realm cultivator. The thirty-six sections of the mace remained undamaged, while the jade-white flying sword instantly snapped at its tip, making a crisp 'crack' sound.

The collision was incredibly powerful, the earth below was compressed into a semi-circle by the burst of energy, and a hundred-foot-high wave of earth was raised, which even swallowed up the golden tent where thousands of people had gathered in an instant.

Fortunately, Lü Yan did not forget to use the Five Elements Seal for protection; otherwise, more than a thousand civilians would have been buried alive.

Even so, the original location of the golden tent was transformed into a huge mound covered with sand.

Xie Jinhuan was positioned directly behind Empress Guo. Although he did not directly face the Immortal Transcendent Killing Move of a Sixth Realm Sword Cultivator, it was still not an easy situation for him to handle.

Last time when I received the sword in Daizhou, the one blocking my way was the monk Wuxin, who was known for his protective skills. Although his golden body and Dharma form shattered, the sword energy only tore apart the mountain peaks on the left and right, without harming a single blade of grass or tree behind him.

The Valkyrie, on the other hand, is a top-tier martial artist known for her ruthless prowess. Her blocking method is to use offense as defense, striking back with roughly equal force.

Xie Jinhuan couldn't quite describe how destructive it was. He just felt as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in his ear, almost shattering his soul and spirit. All he could hear was a buzzing sound. He couldn't hear or speak, and all he could see were blurry lights and shadows.

Fortunately, Sister Guo was very supportive, and Xie Jinhuan was not stunned. He shook his head to observe the situation around him and saw that Sister Guo, with her red hair flowing, was still standing in front of him. However, there was blood on her side and arm, which should be from the broken sword tip turning into fragments that injured her body, but the problem was not serious.

The flying sword must have taken the Taoist Kongkong a lifetime to cultivate to this level. Breaking the tip of the sword is like pulling out a tiger's teeth, reducing its threat by almost half. Repairing it would require consuming countless rare and precious materials.

Thinking of this, Xie Jinhuan still felt quite heartbroken, after all, this was not the sword of the old Taoist Kongkong, but his own sword.

However, even without obtaining the sword, this was still a huge profit.

Xie Jinhuan's mind was still buzzing, and he wanted to check the situation in other places, but in the blink of an eye he saw Nai Gua fly over, carrying an old cultivator in his hand.

Dugu Yue's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, but his strength lay in controlling the grand formation. When the grand formation of the Immortal Ancestor was gone, he naturally lost his ability to burrow underground and was directly dug out by Ye Hongshang.

Xie Jinhuan felt like he'd been struck by a concussion and immediately wanted to send the pawn to meet the Blood God to recover, but Nai Gua slapped him on the back of the head, saying:

"Huh? Why would I hit you... Are you alright?"

Xie Jinhuan, remembering that the Confucian female teacher was present, couldn't eat too improperly, so he said:
