Mysterious mirror hanging high

As soon as he finished speaking, two golden-purple rays of light shot out from Lu Yingzhao's eyes. The rolling purple air mixed with the purple thunder froze the Demon Lord Changyin in place. At this moment, even this peerless Demon Lord who roamed the Juechen Xianzhou was unable to move!

The next moment, Demon Lord Changyin saw the armored woman holding a thunder spear and stepping on thunder, rushing straight towards her!

The lightning halberd suddenly vibrated with hunger. The moment the tip of the halberd sank into the throat of the Demon Lord Changyin, thousands of lightning snakes drilled into the body through the cracks in the skin.

Lu Yingzhao stared at the Demon Lord's body twisting and disintegrating in the purple light, and the sole of his boot crushed a piece of claws that were burnt crisply by the lightning and fire.

This seemingly crisp and decisive strike was also Lu Yingzhao's pinnacle attack! His spirit, energy, and soul merged into one in an instant, unleashing a thunderous aura that prevented even Chang Yin Demon Lord's Nascent Soul from being released, annihilating it directly within his physical body.

The thunderclouds piled up on the dome mysteriously lost their purple glow and turned into a lead-gray haze that pressed down heavily. Billions of raindrops wrapped in tiny ice crystals poured down - it was actually a rain with a faint blood color.

"It was the strange phenomenon in heaven and earth caused by the death of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage... The Demon Lord Changyin really fell..." Nangong Fuhua murmured.

How long has it been since a great True Lord in the late Nascent Soul stage died in Juechen Xianzhou?

Lu Ying waved his thunder halberd, shaking off the demonic blood that was stained on it. The purple lightning leaping from the tip of the heavy halberd pierced through the rain curtain, creating a winding light trail in the darkness.

The corpse of the Changyin Demon Lord at her feet, which had not yet cooled down, was melting. Every drop of blood and flesh turned into black mist as it fell into the sea, blending with the blood rain to form a hideous ghost face.

Upon seeing this, True Lord Fenhai was horrified and quickly took advantage of the moment when Lu Yingzhao was recuperating to escape.

At this moment, the Sea-Devouring Demon Lord could no longer hold on. A huge hole suddenly appeared in his round belly, and purple arcs of electricity continuously emitted outward.

whoosh-

The Black Thunder Sword flew out from the body, turned a corner, and neatly split the body of the Sea Devouring Demon Lord into two halves.

"My Dharma body!"

The Nascent Soul Dharma Image of the Devouring Sea Demon Lord screamed miserably, and did not care that his Dharma body was cut off. He fled in panic, risking the damage to his Dharma Image to cross the lightning net set up by Lu Yingzhao. After his breath became weaker, he finally escaped from the range of the lightning net, tore through the void with a clean and neat move, and disappeared over the North Sea.

As for True Lord Burning Sea? He had already vanished without a trace before Demon Lord Devouring Sea's Nascent Soul escaped!

The Thunder Halberd in Lu Yingzhao's hand turned into a purple thunder and was swallowed into her stomach. The Black Thunder Sword in the distance also flew back to her hand obediently and turned into a miniature flying sword about three inches long, which Lu Yingzhao casually hung on the pendant around his waist.

"Thank you, Little Sword Immortal Lu... Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for your help."

Nangong Fuhua stepped forward to thank her, but then thought of what Lu Yingzhao had just said. He realized that she was not a pure swordsman who was extremely passionate about swords, so he awkwardly changed his words halfway.

Lu Yingzhao smiled cheerfully and waved his hand: "It's okay. We are fellow Daoists who have learned from each other in the way of the sword. A small favor is nothing."

Nangong Fuhua's mouth twitched. With his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, confronting three late-stage Nascent Soul Great True Lords was definitely not a piece of cake. But he also recalled Lu Yingzhao's overwhelming performance just now, and sighed in his heart:

"It's really just a piece of cake..."

But after a moment, he had a question: "How did Fellow Daoist Lu know that Fu Hua had escaped here?"

Lu Yingzhao replied, "I was in seclusion in a small secret realm, but Li Jiangmei used my thunder communication talisman to force me out and come to rescue you."

After a moment's silence, Lu Yingzhao said meaningfully, "You've found an incredible Taoist partner."

"Jiangmei is out of trouble?" Nangong Fuhua's face showed joy: "Is she okay now? Is she injured?"

Lu Yingzhao smiled meaningfully: "Not only has his injuries fully recovered, but he has also gained a great opportunity. Now he has become a Yuanying Zhenjun with six orifices."

"That's good!" Nangong Fuhua smiled and said, "Jiangmei is thoughtful, skillful, and naturally approachable. I knew she would have a way out of any adversity..."

"That's true... she was born with that kind of appearance..." Lu Yingzhao raised his eyebrows: "She always finds someone to back her up."

Nangong Fuhua heard the hidden meaning in Lu Yingzhao's words and sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Lu, not all cultivators in the world are as gifted as you, destined to dominate an era... For ordinary cultivators, taking advantage of the situation is also a way out."

"You're so eager to speak up for her." Lu Yingzhao sneered, "It's a pity that she's just been blinded. If you knew who she is, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so considerate of her."

"Of course I know what kind of person she is."

Nangong Fuhua smiled faintly: "Jiangmei was born in the Demon Sect since she was young. At such a young age, she is a very versatile and good at dancing with long sleeves. She is definitely not a decent person. I brought her back to Tiantong Sword Sect. In the early years, she really stirred up a lot of trouble in the sect. Even Ye'er... She thought she did it secretly, but I am the ancestor of Sword Sect after all. How could such a trick escape my eyes?"

"You know all this?" Lu Yingzhao's eyes widened. This was the first time she showed surprise in front of Nangong Fuhua. She looked the swordsman up and down, "Then why... don't you care?"

"Of course I care, but after all, she is Li Jiangmei."

Nangong Fuhua sighed, "She comes from the Demonic Path, so it's only natural that she has such a sinister and calculating side. When I brought her back to the sect, I did so with the intention of suppressing and restraining her. Otherwise, with her natural ability to seduce, if she grew up in the Demonic Path, she would definitely grow up to be a witch who brought disaster to all living beings."

"Fortunately, after she became my Taoist partner, she's calmed down a bit. Over the years, she's gradually taken the upright path and no longer bothers to resort to such shady tactics."

"I naturally know that the reason she loves and respects me is simply because I, Nangong Fuhua, am a world-renowned Nascent Soul Sword Immortal. To her, whether this sword immortal is me, Nangong Fuhua, Lu Boxiu, or Li Suxuan? Or even the already ascended Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch Chang Jingsi? I'm afraid it doesn't matter."

"But then again, if I, Nangong Fuhua, was just an unknown, ordinary person without any strengths, why would Li Jiangmei look up to me?"

"Even if this true love is just false, does it matter?" Lu Yingzhao asked doubtfully.

“One’s deeds do not count one’s heart.”

Nangong Fuhua said calmly, "As long as my realm and cultivation level steadily rise and I always stay ahead of Jiangmei, I will be able to always be her backer. Regardless of whether she is sincere to me or not, won't we always be in harmony and respect each other? After all, the time and love we have spent together over the years cannot be faked."

Lu Yingzhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey! What a great swordsman, Fu Hua! I underestimated you in the past... What are your plans next?"

Nangong Fuhua pondered and said, "After more than a year of dozens of battles, I feel that my bottleneck has loosened. I will find a secret place and try to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and then..."

"But we have to ask Juechen Demon Sect to pay the interest for the destruction of the mountain gate!"
