Mysterious mirror hanging high

Heavenly Palace, Qian Gang Hall

Inspiration surged in the hall, and suddenly a circle of purple-gold halo exploded.

The imperial edicts from the Emperor of Heaven appeared beside Xiao Guanying. Within the range of his magical power, countless laws quietly changed and distorted, making it impossible to guard against them.

Lu Yingzhao, on the other hand, held a thunder spear in his hand and used wide-ranging moves. He simply did not use any rules and fought Xiao Guanying with only his physical strength.

On one side was the Emperor of Heaven emitting gilded light, and on the other side was the goddess bathed in purple thunder. Xiao Guanying and Lu Yingzhao each used their unique skills and fought hard in this empty hall.

This fight has been going on for nearly half an hour, but the winner is still undecided. The auras of both of them are a little scattered, and it is unknown who will reveal a flaw first.

Jing Yu stared at the intertwining figures in the air, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Several cracks have appeared on Lu Yingzhao's purple thunder armor - this female cultivator who dominated the world actually suffered a loss in the battle.

"Something's wrong... something's very wrong!"

Jing Yu frowned and pondered, "Since Xiao Guanying has chosen to hold his ground in this [Qian Gang Palace], I imagine there must be some formation or restriction within this palace that enhances his magical powers. It's not surprising that he has such combat power now..."

"But Fellow Daoist Lu..."

Jing Yu discovered that Lu Yingzhao's combat performance seemed far below his expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Lu said that the essence of his three treasures had been almost fully recovered, but now it seems that only 20% to 30% has been recovered!"

Seeing that it seemed difficult for Lu Yingzhao to defeat Xiao Guanying by himself, the group of Divine Transformation cultivators who were watching the battle on the sidelines could not help but get nervous. Yang Dingfeng shouted in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoists, if Lu Tianjun falls into a disadvantage, we must join the battle in time to share the pressure for Lu Tianjun... at least we must play a harassing role!"

Xiao Shihua seemed to have heard nothing, and just stared at Lu Yingzhao who was bathed in purple thunder in the air, with a serious expression, as if he was expecting something.

At this moment, the fight in the hall was in turmoil again, but the two men were in a stalemate and it was difficult to tell who was the winner for a long time.

Xiao Guanying had an indifferent expression, and suddenly he raised his hand and pressed it to his waist. With a clear sword sound like a dragon's roar, a sword of the Emperor of Heaven with a gilded coiled dragon and purple air swirling around it was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lu Yingzhao's heart.

Lu Yingzhao raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud, "Playing with swords in front of me?"

Before she finished speaking, she opened her mouth and a brilliant purple lightning burst out, growing stronger against the wind. In an instant, it condensed into a mysterious thunder sword with flowing lightning and dense Taoist patterns. It jumped and circled at Lu Yingzhao's fingertips like a living thing, making crackling sounds.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Guanying's eyes, and his voice was like the sound of gold and jade:

"The Emperor of Heaven decrees, I make the final decision... I am the Sword Master of the World!"

As soon as the words were spoken, heaven and earth were silent.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling divine light, and a brilliant sword energy like a half-moon split the sky, distorting the void wherever it passed. Even the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord who was watching the battle on the side felt his soul tremble and his face changed color.

Lu Yingzhao roared loudly, and the Xuan Lei sword rushed forward with a mighty thunder, and the purple lightning surged like a dragon.

But who would have thought that when this sword was delivered, it would appear somewhat stagnant and scattered, and the flow of sword intent was rather awkward, completely losing its former unrestrained and domineering aura.

boom!

The Xuan Lei sword collided with the sword light of the Emperor of Heaven, and the thunder sword intent was dispersed by the sword light in an instant. If Lu Yingzhao had not burned his magic power in time to stabilize the sword force, he would have fallen into a disadvantage immediately.

"This is..." Jing Yu's pupils shrank. "Xiao Guanying's command just now... seems to have distorted the surrounding [Laws of the Sword]?"

"drink!"

Lu Yingzhao also quickly realized this, and directly abandoned the Xuan Lei Fa Sword, and instead condensed back into the original Thunder Halberd, and started fighting again with Xiao Guanying who was holding a sword.

Seeing that the two were about to fight for a long time, a secret voice suddenly rang in Xiao Guanying's ears:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao! I am Ying Jin. I have mastered the method to break the purple thunder seal. I can break the seal and escape from the Immortal Palace at any time..."

"Why don't you and I join forces and kill this little girl right here? From now on, the Immortal Continent will be divided between the Heavenly Court and the Divine Cauldron!"

Xiao Guanying had a blank expression on his face and replied in a voice transmission:

"Oh? Ying Jin, why should I join forces with you? You're the only one left in the Divine Cauldron, old, weak, and sick. Why would you divide the world with the Heavenly Court?"

"Do you have any other choice now?" Ying Jin sneered, "If we don't take advantage of this moment when the little girl hasn't fully recovered from her injuries, will we wait until she recovers?"

"Fortunately, she is not at her peak right now, otherwise I would never come out to die!"

"You and I, two people in the late stage of the Spiritualization stage, are enough to keep Lu Yingzhao, whose combat power has been greatly weakened, here..."

"Without my help, you could have held out against Lu Yingzhao alone... But if those Divine Transformation cultivators rushed towards you, you would have died here today!"

Xiao Guanying was silent for a long time, feeling that the mana and true essence in his body had been slightly depleted, and finally said coldly:

"Alright! Today I am only trying to save myself. As for how the Divine Cauldron and Heaven will fight in the future, that is a matter for the future!"

Ying Jin was overjoyed when she heard this. At this moment, Xiao Guanying's life was hanging by a thread, so she naturally had no hesitation.

He flicked his hand and abundant true energy surged out, instantly tearing through the purple lightning barrier lingering outside the Immortal Mansion - his body flashed and he turned into a stream of light and fled away!

"Lu Yingzhao! Die!"

Before the clear shout had faded, she had already appeared in the sky, her whole body surging with magical power and her majestic power was awe-inspiring.

Lu Yingzhao raised his head and his gaze fell on Ying Jin who suddenly appeared. There was no surprise in his eyes, but instead a hint of sneer flashed across his eyes.

boom!

In a flash, she hurled the roaring purple thunder halberd in her hand—

With this throw, he carried twelve points of his true strength, and the lightning burst out like a dragon roaring in the sky, going straight through Ying Jin's heart!

Almost at the same time, another Heavenly Emperor sword aura shot up into the sky, as bright as the sun, and the sharp sword intent cut through the clouds - it was Xiao Guanying who suddenly attacked!

But his sword was not aimed at Lu Yingzhao, but turned in mid-air, forming a pincer attack with the purple thunder halberd, blocking Ying Jin's retreat!

The two people who were fighting for life and death just now, unexpectedly, at this moment, had telepathy and launched a shocking joint attack on her at the same time!

This turn of events was so abrupt that all the cultivators watching the battle were caught off guard... First, Ying Jin suddenly appeared, as if he had reached some kind of agreement with Xiao Guanying. Seeing that Lu Yingzhao was about to fight two of them at once, he was afraid that the situation was very dangerous.

But the next moment, Lu Yingzhao and Xiao Guanying, who were originally fighting to the death, attacked Ying Jin at the same time in tacit understanding, as if they had practiced it thousands of times, leaving the other cultivators even more confused...

Only Xiao Shihua, who was watching the battle, showed a hint of joy on his face and almost shouted out loud.

Jing Yu looked dazed for a moment, but soon figured out the key:

"I see... Xiao Guanying didn't intend to wait for death in this palace. He wanted to ascend to heaven! That's why he set up this game..."

As for why Xiao Guanying ascended to heaven and wanted to bring out Ying Jin? Naturally, it was because...

The Great Oath of the Inner Demon!
