Mysterious mirror hanging high

Back then, Xiao Guanying swore the highest level of inner demon oath that he would not be able to ascend until the great calamity of the Immortal Continent was eliminated, otherwise he would end up with both body and soul destroyed.

Afterwards, the three cultivators of the Divine Cauldron descended to the mortal world and set off a great catastrophe... Although Ying Ba and Zhao Nu are dead now, Ying Jin has been hiding in the spiritual weapon in the immortal palace and barely surviving.

But as long as Ying Jin does not die, the great calamity of Xianzhou will never be over. If Xiao Guanying ascends to heaven at this time, he will violate the oath he made to his inner demon, and he will surely be destroyed both physically and spiritually.

Therefore, if he wants to ascend, he can only set up a plan to lure Ying Jin out and kill him on the spot, only then will he have a chance of survival!

Seeing two extremely fierce killing moves approaching him, the void trembled, and the spiritual energy wailed. A trace of shock and anger flashed in Ying Jin's red eyes, but he was a god from the upper realm after all, and his heart of Tao was firm. He kept his mind steady at the critical moment.

Her white hair flew backwards, and she cursed like thunder:

"Rebellion!"

His ten skinny fingers were like ghost claws from the underworld, rapidly moving across his chest. Each movement drew the power of profound laws, condensing into a vortex that distorted reality.

At that moment, the purple thunder halberd and the sword light of the Emperor of Heaven actually paused slightly, as if they were grasped by invisible hands, ripples appeared on the surface, vaguely showing signs of collapse, or even reversal and backlash!

However, Xiao Guanying has reached the late stage of transformation, and his understanding of the power of law is not much inferior to Ying Jin. The sword light is also integrated with his innate true essence and a wisp of Qian Gang's will. How can he be easily rebelled?

On the other hand, although Lu Yingzhao was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and his realm was slightly lower, the purple thunder halberd was made by melting the lightning during the Spirit Transformation Realm and the essence of his own essence, energy, and spirit. It was a pure material attack that surpassed the level of laws. Its force penetrated the void and was extremely strong. The influence of the rebellious laws on it was even more limited.

Therefore, in just a moment, the stagnant trend was forcibly broken!

The halberd roared, purple lightning ripped through the sky, the sword shrieked, and the imperial power suppressed all things...

Ying Jin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he only had time to take out a roll of plain white gauze. The gauze fluttered and turned into a cloud barrier to protect him, but the killing move had already arrived!

"boom--"

Lightning exploded, sword energy collapsed, and the protective cloud barrier only lasted for half a moment before it shattered.

Purple lightning penetrated her shoulder, and blood splattered; the sword of the Emperor of Heaven cut off half of her robe sleeve, and her left arm was almost shattered by the sword intent of the law!

"what--!"

Ying Jin let out a shrill howl, and blood and energy surged all over his body. He even burned his own blood and essence to perform the secret art of blood escape.

A blood-red light wrapped around her broken body, leaving a glaring blood mark in the void. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the fairy palace's restrictions, leaving only the smell of blood and burning in the air.

At the critical moment, Ying Jin was not killed instantly by the combined killing move of the two. Instead, he dragged his seriously injured body back to his own immortal palace and spiritual weapon.

Lu Yingzhao frowned, recalled the halberd, swallowed it, and sighed softly.

Xiao Guanying's originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant, and a hint of regret lingered on his face.

The only hope of ascension was cut off. Xiao Guanying understood that if he missed this opportunity, Ying Jin would never come out of the Immortal Palace again, and his inner demon oath would never be fulfilled.

"Emperor Xiao Tian."

Lu Yingzhao's armor disappeared, and she returned to her normal clothes. She put her hands behind her back and said calmly:

"Emperor Xiao Tian is truly calculating. Although you and I are involved in a conflict of daos, I, Lu, also admit that you are truly upright... If you truly kill Ying Jin, you will have made a great contribution to the Immortal Continent. Naturally, I, Lu, cannot hinder your ascension."

"Over a hundred thousand years ago, the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty ruled the Nine Provinces. Perhaps the Divine Cauldron Immortal Emperor of that time was truly destined to be the emperor..."

"But times have changed. After so many years, the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty's ways are no longer suitable for the current Immortal Continent. This is not the Way that the Immortal Continent should respect."

"As the leader of the new Qian Gang, I will naturally not sit idly by and watch the Shen Ding Xian Dynasty make a comeback."

"But I have already suffered a crushing defeat in the Immortal Continent. I had originally planned to start anew in the Immortal Realm after ascending to heaven. Although my cultivation might suffer a great loss, I might still be able to create something new and forge a new path."

Xiao Guanying smiled faintly and said, "What a pity, all efforts failed at the last moment... It seems this is God's will."

Lu Yingzhao was silent for a long time. She knew in her heart that even if Xiao Guanying really ascended to the fairyland, the [Qian Gang] path in the fairyland would still be a dead end, and it might even collapse faster than his own in the lower world!

But she didn't speak.

At this moment, Xiao Guanyue could no longer sit idly by and suddenly flew out, blocking in front of Xiao Guanying, and bowed to Lu Yingzhao and said:

"Lord Lu! Considering my brother's integrity... could you spare my life?"

"He's still young, he can afford to wait... I can't just keep him under house arrest until Ying Jin dies, breaking the inner demon oath my brother once made, and then let him ascend..."

Lu Yingzhao still didn't say anything, but just looked at Xiao Guanying meaningfully.

In the end, Xiao Guanying pushed away Xiao Guanyue who was blocking his way and said with a faint smile:

"Little sister, there's no need to plead for me."

"I think Fellow Daoist Lu has already known the peculiarities of the Solitary Path."

Xiao Guanyue was stunned and felt a little at a loss.

"My [Qian Gang Law] is too overbearing. What is [Qian Gang Autocratic]?"

"As long as I remain in the lower realm, even without actively cultivating, every day I will erode, distort, and replace the original laws of the Celestial Continent."

"Until I completely replace the [Heavenly Principles] of the Immortal Continent with my own version."

"This process is even irreversible."

"If Fellow Daoist Lu and the others had allowed me to live, I would have caused irreversible damage to the original laws of the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Continent before Ying Jin died."

Xiao Guanying said leisurely, "I think the fellow Daoists from the major Daoist sects in Xianzhou will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen, right?"

Lu Yingzhao sighed:

"Xiao Guanying, I admire your determination and ambition to blaze a new trail, but the [Qian Gang Law] you understand and shape is too overbearing. If you were to act on it, it would probably be a disaster rather than a blessing for the people of Xianzhou."

"You must know that everything has room for improvement. If you don't leave any room for all living things, then naturally there will be no room for yourself."

"Been taught a lesson."

Xiao Guanying cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu, are you going to take action?"

Lu Yingzhao raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and said:

"Considering your difficult cultivation, I really don't want to take action... Please commit suicide."

Xiao Guanying was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Before that, I still have one wish."

"Please speak... As long as you don't go too far, we won't make it too difficult for you." Lu Yingzhao pondered.

Xiao Guanying suddenly pointed at Jing Yu:

"Before I die, I would like to have a duel with fellow Daoist Xuan Jing."
