There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

The question is: Is there anything more terrifying than undergoing tribulation?

The answer is obvious: a person who had died in everyone's hearts has been transformed into someone he can only look up to.

How could the Fifth Elder not hate him!

Shu Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

It has to be said that Gu Xia's powerful comeback was truly amazing.

Her appearance gave them hope.

What does the emergence of a new tribulation signify?

This means that the current stalemate is about to be broken; in other words, the cultivation world is destined to win.

The Fifth Elder could not possibly have been unaware of this.

That's why he was even more vulnerable.

"Gu Xia, tell me, what secret technique did you use?" The pressure was real, proving that it was not a trick.

He could only conclude that perhaps the Taiyi Sect possessed some unknown secret technique that could cause a person's cultivation level to skyrocket in a short period of time.

The cultivation world is not without such methods, but almost no one would choose to do so unless it is a matter of life and death.

It should be noted that once the time limit for the secret technique ends, the user is essentially cut off from any further path of cultivation.

But whatever the reason, the Fifth Elder was determined not to believe in the other possibility.

That means everything you see is real, and Gu Xia's cultivation level is genuine.

Haha, how is that possible?

Gu Xia raised an eyebrow slightly, turned the sword in her palm, and a sword aura rushed towards the top of his head.

The Fifth Elder was startled and instinctively raised his sword to block, but the next second he was sent flying backward and crashed into a huge pit.

Wow.

The corners of the eyes of countless people around couldn't help but twitch.

The few remaining doubts have now completely disappeared.

joke?

With just a light wisp of sword energy, Gu Xia easily defeated the Fifth Elder, clearly demonstrating that Gu Xia's current strength far surpasses that of his opponent.

The group of great demons and the demon king exchanged a glance without making a sound.

Grass.

How is this played?

They had been bullying the other side because of their numbers and higher cultivation, but who would have thought that the other side would turn around and send a living father to them?

It seems like they're the ones who's about to be bullied, no matter how you look at it.

The group of people had different thoughts, but none of them dared to back down easily.

As for the Fifth Elder, who was sent flying and hasn't gotten up yet? Let him die.

Anyway, he's not one of their demon/monster/ghost cultivators, just a traitor from one of the five sects, so really not many people care whether he lives or dies.

The Fifth Elder crawled out again, looking utterly disheveled.

The blow had caused him excruciating pain, as if his internal organs had shifted. He was now panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat from the intense pain.

"Fifth Elder."

Gu Xia gripped the sword in her hand, looking at him leisurely. "So? Can you figure out what secret technique I used?"

Fifth Elder: “…”

Oh shit.

That brat!

She definitely did it on purpose.

Asking such a question after having just severely injured him is as devastating as killing someone's spirit.

What secret technique?

If he really knew what the secret technique was, he would have used it on himself immediately.

Regardless of what happens in the future, his first priority today is to kill Gu Xia.

The kind that involves being torn to pieces!

Gu Xia naturally saw the cold hatred in his eyes. She felt that this wave of hatred came out of nowhere. "Why are you glaring at me? I don't think I've ever offended you, have I?"

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized, "Could it be that you're still holding a grudge about how my identity was almost exposed by me and my senior brothers back then?"

"Elder, this won't do. There's a saying that one shouldn't be so petty. You don't have to hate me this much, do you?"

The elders of their Taiyi Sect never hold grudges.

"..."

Those close associates who knew about what happened back then all looked at her with mixed feelings.

As expected of you, Gu Xia.

Which pot does not open which pot.

The Fifth Elder was almost twisted with rage.

She dares to bring up the past?

If Gu Xia hadn't always been unreliable, and the reputation of the Taiyi Sect's direct disciples hadn't been so bad, he probably would have been exposed long ago.

Shen Weixun coughed lightly, then frowned, "Junior Sister, kill him."

Whether it was because he betrayed the cultivation world, colluded with the demons to harm cultivators, or because he betrayed Gu Xia and caused her death, the Fifth Elder has no way out today.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xia readily replied, "Alright, Senior Brother."

"But before that-"

She changed the subject, snapped her fingers, and said, "Let's send the Fifth Elder into the killing formation for a bit of fun first."

Seeing the Fifth Elder's drastically changed expression, Gu Xia smiled slightly, "The Soul-Severing Array from the forbidden book of the Xuanming Sect is a perfect match for you. You will surely die within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

It's been said that she's a very vengeful person, and she likes to retaliate on the spot if she has a grudge.

Since the Fifth Elder betrayed her like that, then logically and emotionally, if she suffers misfortune, the other party should definitely not have an easy time either.

The Soul-Severing Killing Array was the method of death she had prepared for the Fifth Elder.

"you dare!"

The Fifth Elder shouted sternly, but a sense of panic ran through him.

What kind of Soul-Severing Formation is this? It's a formation from a forbidden book of the Xuanming Sect.

Just hearing the name gives one a sense of foreboding.

Gu Xia: "What wouldn't I dare to do?"

"Speaking of which, you should thank me, otherwise you wouldn't even have the time it takes for this last incense stick to burn."

Killing the Fifth Elder with a single sword was too lenient for him; he naturally wanted to personally experience the torment Gu Xia had suffered in the formation.

The Fifth Elder was so angry he almost vomited blood.

And you thank her?

Does that mean she wants to kill him, and he should thank her in return?

There's no way such an absurd thing could happen.

However, before he could speak again, as Gu Xia finished speaking, a deep, dark light enveloped him completely.

The Fifth Elder instinctively tried to run, but a force grabbed his leg and dragged him into the killing formation.

Only his scream remained in the air, followed by silence.

Yi Ling swallowed hard and asked Li Tingyun beside him, "Senior Brother, is this thing really from our sect?"

Li Tingyun's lips twitched as he recalled the good deed he had done with Gu Xia not long ago. "Pretty much."

Since he had never tried the formations recorded in the forbidden book, it would be a good opportunity for the Fifth Elder to experience them firsthand.

Gu Xia found a place to bury the Fifth Elder, then turned to look at the other demons and monsters on the battlefield, and slowly curled her lips, "Since we're already here, let's all stay here."

"What are you still doing?"

She flicked her sword tip, "If you don't kill them, are you planning to hold hands and be good friends when we meet again in the future?"

Everyone shuddered, a chill running down their spines.

Then they all turned their heads in unison, their eyes gleaming green.

The demons and monsters: "..."

Don't come over here!
