Chapter Thirty-Three: A Frightening Battle
By the side of Huayuan Pool, Jian Wuchen and others were guarding with all their might, resisting the attack of the ghost army. Due to the large number of ghost troops, although each individual's cultivation was not strong, the joint siege also made everyone feel tremendous pressure, completely falling into a predicament.
A dark shadow flashed, and the ghostly expert returned to Yin Lian's side, quietly recounting what he had seen. Yin Lian's eyes changed, but then a mysterious smile appeared, his gaze sweeping across the scene. After pausing on Ling Bao Zun and Gui Zun, Yin Lian shifted his gaze to the trapped human experts. At this moment, the ten human experts were being pushed back three feet by the ghostly army, their formation shrinking slightly.
In the formation, three divine swords shone brightly, with an overwhelming sacred aura that contained the power to destroy souls and exterminate spirits. They had already annihilated nearly a thousand ghostly soldiers, dealing them heavy damage. The people beside him were also wielding long swords, their powerful cultivation clearly displayed on the dazzling sword edges. Thanks to the protection of the Five Elements Formation, although the ten people were exerting themselves fully, they hadn't wasted too much true essence and were temporarily fine.
While swiftly wielding his long sword to defend himself, Liu Xingyun was also paying attention to the surroundings, and a hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes. Feeling the enemy's strength, he was rapidly thinking about how to escape from this place. This time, encountering so many powerful experts here was something he had not expected before. After glancing at Jian Wucheng who was defending with all his might beside him, Liu Xingyun shifted his gaze and asked in a low voice: "Wucheng, I'm asking you, do you currently have the ability to escape from this place by yourself? What I mean is that during the most critical moment, just you alone, without any consideration for others, can you break through?"
Xin's mind went blank for a moment, Jian Wucheng looked at him and asked: "What do you mean by this, Master? In the current situation, facing so many powerful enemies, it's probably unrealistic to try to rush out. Moreover, even if we can break through the siege of these ghostly soldiers, it's hard to say whether we can escape from this eerie Shura forest."
Liu Xing's gaze swept around, seeing everyone was defending with all their might, and hastily said in a low voice: "I want to ask you, if there's a way to gather these ghost soldiers, can you rush out?"
His face changed, Jian Wucheng saw the unusual expression in his eyes and couldn't help but say in a low voice: "If it weren't for these ghostly soldiers blocking the way, Wucheng would naturally be able to rush out easily. But how can we deal with so many ghostly soldiers? Does Shibo have any method?"
"There is a way, naturally. Our Tiān Jiàn Academy has been roaming the world for many years, collecting many treasures, among which there is a Xuán Yù Hú (Mysterious Jade Flask) that can capture yīn souls and guǐ spirits. Apart from this, the Qián Kūn Dài (Heavenly Bag) on Lù Yún's body also has such an effect. These are things I only thought of now. At this moment, the Xuán Yù Hú is on my body, as long as you have a way to leave here, I can try my best to activate the Xuán Yù Hú and capture the large number of ghostly creatures in it."
Jian Wuchen's face lit up with joy, and he said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then launch an attack now and gather these ghostly soldiers. With our current strength here, we don't have to worry about the remaining ghostly creatures."
Shaking his head slightly, Liu Xingyun said in a low voice: "This won't do. This Xuanyu Hu is something I obtained from the Luofu Mountain's Hundred-Zhang Abyss back then. It contains yin evil energy inside, and once it's activated, it will drag us all into it together. Over the years, I've never used it before, and today was an emergency, so I thought of it unintentionally. Since this thing hasn't been used before, I don't dare to try it lightly, fearing that if something goes wrong, everyone's lives will be put at risk. Now, our only way out is to find Lu Yun back and let him use the Qiankun Bag. That way, we'll have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, unless there's no other choice, I'm not willing to easily use that Xuanyu Hu."
Disappointed, Swordless Dust's gaze shifted to the crowd and said in a low voice: "Now that our Five Elements Array has been activated, trying to rush out suddenly will not only affect everyone but also give the enemy an opportunity. For now, we can only wait temporarily and observe the situation. Hopefully, Lu Yun can return soon, so we can take advantage of it and counterattack." Upon hearing this, Liu Xinghun shook his head and sighed, saying that all their efforts were still in vain.
In the dark forest, Lu Yun's figure moved forward along the route analyzed in his mind, but each time he was just a little bit off, barely missing the opportunity. His figure steady, Lu Yun halted mid-air and began to think of how to crack this mysterious and complex formation. After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yun's eyes changed, and his entire body shone with dazzling golden light. In an instant, he transformed into a strand of golden light and vanished into the forest at a speed too fast to be seen.
Embodied in golden light, Lu Yun appeared in the form of his Yuan Shen, and his speed suddenly increased several times. With this, he easily caught up with the speed of that array's operation, and effortlessly broke out of the complex Shura Absolute Heaven Array. Outside the forest, a flash of golden light, a cluster of dazzling golden clouds appeared in mid-air, looked around for a moment, then quickly returned to the Shura Forest.
A flash of light passed, and Lu Yun returned to his true form, looking at the forest in surprise. Although it was just a glance, he clearly discovered that there were two ghostly shadows standing outside the forest. He had seen both of them before - one was the Ghost General Huan Mei from the Black River, and the other was Wu Jian's Ghost Slaughter. Although they didn't seem to be together, their target was obviously the same - the Soul Pool. Lu Yun couldn't understand how they ended up here at the same time, whether it was coincidence or intentional, which was hard to guess.
He turned back, took a glance at the depths of the forest, and Lu Yun returned. However, just as his figure had just disappeared, a mysterious black shadow appeared in the woods, sinisterly gazing at Lu Yun's back, chuckled to himself, and vanished.
Returning to the side of the Soul Pool, seeing that everyone was temporarily free from trouble, Lu Yun's heart felt slightly at ease. His figure flashed and he mysteriously appeared in the center of the Five Elements Great Array, loudly greeting everyone. Seeing Lu Yun return, everyone was overjoyed, and Yun Feng hastily opened his mouth to ask if there were any results.
Looking calmly at everyone, Lu Yun said: "This formation is very strange and it's hard to get out because it keeps rotating. Even if you calculate the route to break through, but you don't have that speed, everything is in vain. For now, although I've figured out the route to leave, whether we can all safely leave or not, no one can say for sure."
With a faint sigh, everyone's mood was heavy. While resisting the ghost army's attack, they were thinking about a way out. Looking at Lu Yun, Liu Xing Hun said: "Lu Yun, have you learned the technique of using the Qian Kun bag? Now if we use the Qian Kun bag, we can put all these ghost soldiers in it, and then we can temporarily get out of this predicament and think of a way to break through."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun was taken aback for a moment before remembering the Qiankun bag on his body. He hastily took it out from his bosom and glanced at the unassuming grey cloth bag. Lu Yun recited an incantation and performed a hand seal, causing the Qiankun bag to rapidly expand into a massive sack dozens of meters in size, accompanied by a whirlwind that devoured everything in its path. The sack wildly engulfed those ghostly objects with reckless abandon.
In the midst of a loud whooshing sound, rolling currents of air rapidly converged on the Qiankun Bag from all directions, and in an instant transformed into a strand of gas that was sucked inside. The countless ghostly soldiers on the ground were defenseless, their shadows being swept away by the fierce wind, unable to struggle before they too turned into strands of black gas and vanished into the mysterious Qiankun Bag. By the pool, Yin Lie and other powerful experts shouted in unison, seemingly not having expected that Lu Yun would suddenly deploy this magical treasure of the Overlord's Path, crazily devouring his own troops.
Time seemed to pass extremely quickly at this moment, and in just a short while, countless ghost soldiers disappeared into the Qiankun bag. Yin Lian and Ling Bao Zun, Gui Zun, and the four powerful experts behind him roared in anger as they dodged and weaved, their bodies rapidly moving to avoid the powerful suction force of the Qiankun bag.
The law was retracted, and Lu Yun's face showed a look of surprise and delight as he gently grasped the Qian Kun bag. All around, everyone let out a sigh of relief, their faces flushed with excitement as they stared at the treasure in Lu Yun's hand. Yun Feng chuckled and said, "This thing looks completely ordinary, but it really is useful after all. From now on, whenever we encounter those ghostly soldiers, we'll capture them all and turn the Ghost Domain into an empty shell. Hehe, that will be fun."
Jian Wucheng's face revealed a hint of jealousy, but he quickly covered it up. After glancing around, Jian Wucheng said, "Now is the perfect opportunity, let's first eliminate these ghostly creatures and then think of a way to enter the Huayuan Pool and retrieve the Fenghun Symbol." Upon hearing this, everyone snapped back to their senses and immediately turned to charge towards those ghost domain experts.
Lu Yun glanced at the seven ghostly creatures and said softly, "Master, Senior Brother, Cloud Maple, and Master Liu will each take care of one evil spirit. The remaining three - Yin Lian, Ling Bao Zun, and Gui Zun - will be handled by Ao Xue, Cang Yue, Wu Chen, and me. Ao Xue and Cang Yue will join forces to deal with Ling Bao Zun, Wu Chen will take care of Yin Lian, and I'll handle the remaining Gui Zun. The other three people will keep a close eye on the surroundings and be prepared for any unexpected events. Alright, let's launch the attack."
Each acted according to their words and launched a comprehensive attack. Ao Xue and Cang Yue had previously fought against Gui Zun in the first debate, but were at a disadvantage. This time, the two joined forces again to deal with Ling Bao Zun, and they seemed much more relaxed. The two divine swords flew like clouds, spinning like dragons; the dazzling purple gold light, accompanied by the momentum of destroying mountains and splitting peaks, transformed into a dragon and a phoenix in mid-air, forming a dragon and phoenix intertwined necks, wildly rolling up Ling Bao Zun.
With a cold laugh, the evil eyes of the Lingbao尊者 flashed with a chilly gaze. His figure moved at an incredible speed, forming a row of green light shadows around him, vaguely taking the shape of a furious leopard. A powerful demonic aura spread throughout the area within a hundred feet of the Soul Pool. Each time the leopard demon's green shadow jumped, it would unleash thirty-six fist shadows. The incredibly fast speed and incredibly strong force converged together, forming an astonishing fist energy that rapidly burst out.
Sword energy like a rainbow, fist strength like thunder, two strong energies meet in the air, causing a fierce collision. The shocking thunder shakes the sky, the energy shoots out wildly like a dragon, and the powerful explosive force sends both sides flying back several meters. As soon as they land, three figures bounce and shoot out again, launching another dense attack.
On the side, Xian Wu Chen's Tianling Divine Sword was sandwiched with colorful light, using the Tianjian Institute's Tianjian Jue to control the sword, and fighting fiercely with Yin Lie, causing the sky to darken. As the commander of the dark soul, Yin Lie's cultivation was extremely high, and in the entire ghost domain, it was extremely rare. Moreover, he possessed one of the three greatest treasures of the Dark Ghost Domain, the Xuanhun Yinfu, making his attack power extraordinary.
At this time, Yin Lie counterattacked Jian Wucheng while keeping an eye on the surroundings, a hint of mystery flashing in his dark green eyes. His figure flashed rapidly, and Yin Lie tried his best to avoid a fierce battle with Jian Wucheng in order to conserve his strength. As a result, the fight between the two sides became a game of cat and mouse, with each side trapped in a stalemate.
Taking a glance at the fight between Yun Feng and the four of them, seeing that they were temporarily not in danger, Lu Yun withdrew his gaze and quietly looked at the Gui Zun. With a cold smile, Lu Yun said: "Gui Zun, this name is quite impressive, I don't know why you came here, is it your personal intention or are you representing the intention of Gui Island?"
He smiled faintly, and Gui Zun said: "This point is not important, just like I don't ask you why you came here. Now, between you and me, as long as we distinguish between victory and defeat, the winner can stay. As for other things, you don't need to know too much."
His eyes were cold and detached, Lu Yun said in a low voice: "I asked just to know how many powerful people came to the Phantom Island this time. Since you don't want to answer, I'll ask another question. After that, we'll settle our lives and deaths once and for all."
Looking at Lu Yun, Gui Zun's eyes flickered and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Alright, you ask, but I also want to ask you a question, let's consider it an exchange."
With a glance around, Lu Yun said calmly: "I heard that the Ghost Domain has a mysterious Phantom Interval on the Phantom Island. I wonder what's so mysterious about this Phantom Interval?"
His expression changed, and Gui Zun looked at Lu Yun with a shocked expression, seemingly not expecting him to ask such a question. His green eyes kept rolling, and after considering for a moment, he spoke: "Your question is strange and difficult to answer. All I can tell you is that there are five rooms in this Ghost Domain, the most mysterious being the Phantom Room, and the most dangerous being the Life and Death Room. The Phantom Room is mysterious because it's said to contain the Phantom Magic Mirror. That thing is said to be able to transform infinitely, changing into anything it wants, making it almost impossible for anyone to distinguish reality from illusion. For example, it can appear in front of you as your own appearance, except that only you yourself would know the truth, and outsiders wouldn't be able to see even a hint. Additionally, it's said that no matter who enters the Phantom Room, they will disappear without leaving any trace."
Lu Yun smiled calmly and nodded, finally having a certain understanding of the most mysterious room in the Ghost Domain. The five rooms of the Ghost Domain, he had already entered four of them, perhaps this was also a rare occurrence in the world. After paying attention to the movements around him, Lu Yun asked: "Alright, ask what you want to ask, and after that, we'll start taking action."
Looking at Lu Yun, Gui Zun's eyes flashed with a hint of strange color, and he asked in a low voice: "Why does your body contain the aura of blood evil, and I can feel the breath of the ghost domain on you, but you are clearly human, not a ghost. Moreover, it seems that you are hiding something on your body, which is extremely evil and strange."
His expression didn't change, but Lu Yun was shocked in his heart. He couldn't understand how the Ghost Emperor had discovered this, it was a secret he had been hiding all along. Looking at the Ghost Emperor, Lu Yun was thinking to himself, next time he must find an opportunity to silence him, otherwise it would definitely be disadvantageous to himself in the future. Shifting his gaze away, Lu Yun said in a low voice: "Your intuition is quite good, but unfortunately you haven't seen through everything. If you want to know, wait until we take action and see for yourself. Now, let's begin, others have already started fighting for some time now, we shouldn't waste any more time either. No matter what, this battle can't be avoided. Now, I'll come personally to learn from the Ghost Emperor's ultimate skill, be careful."
A red light flashed, and the Soul Sword of Intent on top of his head burst out with a strong and powerful glow, pressing down on Gui Zun. At the same time, a mysterious blue protective aura appeared outside Lu Yun's body, shimmering with intense light. His hands slightly raised to his chest, Lu Yun watched Gui Zun with a vigilant expression, being extremely cautious in his heart. He still remembered the battle where Ao Xue and Cang Yue joined forces against Gui Zun, so he didn't dare to be even slightly careless at this moment.
Across from him, Gui Zun's expression was equally solemn. Towards Lu Yun, he had a very strange feeling in his heart. He vaguely felt that there was a terrifying aura on Lu Yun's body, hidden and mysterious. Seeing Lu Yun prepare to launch an attack, Gui Zun's figure flashed, and a series of ghostly shadows merged into a black line, forming a chain-like shape that surrounded Lu Yun's body. Each of these countless black chains emitted a gloomy and eerie aura, invading Lu Yun's protective True Qi shield at a unique angle.
Lu Yun sprang into action, launching a fierce attack. The scarlet Divine Sword of Intent howled with a fiery aura, spinning and shrinking in a cyclical motion as it pressed forward against the Ghostly Venerable. Outside his body, the black chain pearls glimmered with an eerie, malevolent energy that rose and fell like waves, encircling Lu Yun's form and hindering his advance. The scorching hot Yang energy of the Lihuo Heaven-Defying Sword clashed with the mysterious chain pearls that could devour and annihilate souls, producing a sizzling sound that was both earsplitting and heart-stopping.
A burst of red light flashed, and Lu Yun's entire body was engulfed in fierce flames, his powerful aura like a fire god general, majestic and solemn. His eyes gleaming with red light, a thread of cold cruelty seemed to pierce through the ice peak, making Gui Zun's heart tremble, his movements speeding up by twofold. As a result, Gui Zun's shadow appeared as if it were a faint black mist, vague and unreal. With a shift in intention, the divine path's mental attack was launched silently and stealthily, nineteen high-speed mental attacks at a frequency of 200,000 times per second, attacking Gui Zun from all angles.
His body suddenly slowed down, and a shocked and furious whistle came out of Gui Zun's mouth. He looked at Lu Yun with anger and shock in his eyes. With a cold glint in his green pupils, he shot himself forward, striking straight at Lu Yun. However, just as his shadow was about to reach Lu Yun within three feet, it suddenly bounced back, narrowly avoiding the powerful sword strike from Lu Yun. His shadow rebounded again, reappearing in front of Lu Yun with an evil gaze that contained a hint of coldness and cruelty.
He glanced at Lu Yun's rapidly swinging long sword and shouted, "Take my nine-turns of the Extreme Void! See how I'll take your soul and destroy your body. One turn!" Amidst his shout, Gui Zun's black figure flashed and surrounded Lu Yun, performing a high-speed spin of 1,360 times per second. The powerful airflow generated an incredibly strong centrifugal force that seemed to want to tear Lu Yun's body apart.
His expression changed slightly, Lu Yun looked at the rotating ghost shadow, and a hint of heaviness appeared in his eyes. With his incredibly powerful mental attack just now, he hadn't even injured this Ghost Venerable, which was something that left Lu Yun perplexed and shocked. Since he had started cultivating, it seemed like this was the first time, his mental attacks had lost their effectiveness. Feeling the strong tearing force, fiercely shredding his protective True Qi, Lu Yun's heart shook, his entire body's True Essence gathering, a powerful dark blue light, continuously setting up seven layers of defense outside his body.
The sword light of the heart's desire exploded in a blaze of glory, with a scorching speed that could melt iron, accompanied by a red glow. It transformed into a fire dragon that danced and fluttered above Lu Yun's head. Amidst the thunderous roar of the dragon's cry, the fire dragon spun around Lu Yun's body from top to bottom in a reverse rotation of yin and yang, forming a stark contrast with the black ghostly shadow. Lu Yun's eyes flickered with a faint seven-colored light as his mind waves rapidly calculated the trajectory of the Ghost Lord's movement. Once he analyzed its path, he could launch a powerful strike.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, and his true yuan burst forth at three times the speed. The Reversible Sword of Intent outside his body miraculously transformed back into its sword form, accompanied by a Heaven-destroying Sword Pillar that slashed out diagonally. A dazzling crimson glow, along with the rotating pillar, formed a diagonal sweep, fiercely rolling up the high-speed spinning black shadow.
"Double reversal!" Amidst the explosive shout, Gui Zun's body suddenly made an unexpected reverse rotation, perfectly avoiding Lu Yun's overbearing sword. The black light flashed, and after Gui Zun's body reversed, his speed didn't slow down at all, but instead increased by 30%. Lu Yun, who was surrounded, felt a shock, as this powerful centrifugal force, in the instant of reversal, suddenly increased threefold, causing Lu Yun's strong protective true energy shield to shatter into four pieces.
Lu Yun's eyes widened as he stared at the still-spinning Ghost Emperor, and suddenly realized that the Nine Turns of the Limitless, spoken by the Ghost Emperor, was absolutely not an ordinary spell. With his incredibly powerful cultivation, the might of this overbearing spell would be strong enough to make it difficult for anyone in the world to find a match. Lu Yun's guess was correct - the origin of this spell was astonishing. This spell did not originate from the Ghost Domain, but rather from the Mortal Realm; however, no one knew about it except for the Ghost Emperor. The Nine Turns of the Limitless were divided into nine turns: First Turn of the Body, Second Turn of the Flesh, Third Turn of Shape, Fourth Turn of Essence, Fifth Turn of Will, Sixth Turn of Energy, Seventh Turn of Soul, Eighth Turn of Spirit, and Ninth Turn of Life. Once it was unleashed to the Ninth Turn of Life, no one in the world would be able to escape.
With a cold snort, Lu Yun once again violently raised his true yuan. His powerful cultivation and thick true energy formed a high-speed rotating true energy wave around him, dissolving the intense pressure from all directions in a mysterious way. His mind racing, his intention waves analyzed every move of Gui Zun, every change in his breath, and every fluctuation of his true energy at a frequency of over 320,000 times per second. Gradually, a strange color flashed across Lu Yun's eyes, and the divine light in his eyes grew stronger as he carefully observed the shadows around him.
On this side, Lu Yun and Gui Zun each displayed their mysterious and wonderful techniques, launching a powerful attack. Meanwhile, the others on the sidelines were also attacking with all their might, slowly entering the critical moment.
In several groups of hand-to-hand combat, Ao Xue and Cang Yue had already taken the upper hand at this moment, forcing Ling Bao Zun to retreat step by step, hissing angrily in his mouth. However, Jian Wu Chen and Yin Lie were still chasing each other, with no progress.
Yun Feng had already displayed the yin-yang technique, surrounding his opponent and refining their soul. Zi Yang Zhen Ren's true yuan burst forth, launching a fierce attack with his long sword, but he was gradually falling into a predicament.
Feng Yuan Yang temporarily fought evenly with his opponent, while Liu Xing Hun's Tian Jian Jue dominated the situation, steadily holding the upper hand.
The three onlookers were now watching with bated breath, unsure which part of the fight to focus on, as every scene was breathtaking. Watching the battle in the arena with a sense of unease, Du Li said softly, "Looking at it this way, the most crucial factor still lies with Lu Yun, Cang Yue, and Jian Wu Chen. For now, the four of them are temporarily evenly matched, without any substantial breakthroughs."
He nodded slightly, and Bi Tian said in a low voice: "The situation doesn't look very optimistic either, but for now, it seems we won't lose. Yun Feng is about to win, and once he does, the other three will be helped by him and won't take long. The rest depends on Lu Yun?"
As soon as the words fell, a shrill and mournful cry suddenly echoed through the scene, only to disappear immediately. With a fixed gaze, Yun Feng had already eliminated his opponent with an incredible yin-yang magic spell and was now flying towards Zi Yang Zhen Ren. During the fight, many masters were shocked by the sound, each having different feelings in their hearts. Yin Lian's eyes turned cold, and that mysterious and cunning smile flickered in her eyes, unable to guess why she did this.
With a loud whistle, the dark and eerie figure suddenly stopped dodging and charged towards Swordless Dust with an intense black aura. Swordless Dust was taken aback, unable to comprehend why it had suddenly stopped evading. As he gazed at the approaching figure, his eyes burst forth with a radiant light, and the Heavenly Spirit Sword in his hand shone brightly with a kaleidoscope of colors. A five-colored dragon emerged from the sword's rapid movements, soaring into the air. A thunderous dragon roar echoed through the sky as the five-colored dragon swiftly circled around before charging towards the dark figure.
In mid-air, only the five-colored light dragon's body was flashing with dazzling light, in the style of a flying dragon chasing the moon, rushing straight at Yin Lian. Yin Lian smiled gloomily, and his shadowy figure suddenly disappeared into thin air just before colliding with the five-colored divine dragon, hiding his figure in an instant. His face changed, Jian Wucheng's true energy contracted, forming a pale purple light shield outside his body, carefully defending himself while probing around for Yin Lian's whereabouts.
His body spun around in a circle, but there was nothing. Jian Wucheng's heart sank, and he couldn't understand where the sinister hidden danger was lurking. However, just as he was puzzled, a sudden shout came from the outside: "Be careful above, dodge quickly!" As soon as he heard this, his heart sank again, and Jian Wucheng didn't have time to think much. His body shot out rapidly.
In the half-empty sky, only a sinister figure appeared silently on top of a black cloud, with a dazzling black light pillar shooting up to the sky. With a cold glance at Swordless Dust below, the sinister figure withdrew its hands, and the black light disappeared simultaneously as the sinister figure enveloped Swordless Dust. In the midst of the attack, the sinister figure suddenly cast out the Xuanhun Yinfu. A three-inch-long dark green jade tablet transformed into a giant jade symbol in the wind, with its entire body flashing with cyan light. The jade symbol was covered with dense incantations that shot out strange patterns, forming three illusory ghostly shadows in the air that overlapped and stacked. In the center of the jade symbol, a strange residual shadow flashed with an extremely sinister ghostly aura, suddenly enveloping Swordless Dust who was dodging.
He raised his head, a cyan jade symbol pressed down, three ghostly shadows vaguely visible, easily piercing through his defensive light shield and attacking his physical body. His expression changed greatly, Swordless Dust let out an angry roar, the Heavenly Spirit Sword stood upright towards the sky, aiming at the cyan jade symbol, emitting a five-colored light pillar. His face was heavy with solemnity, Swordless Dust used both hands to wield the sword with all his might, the Heavenly Spirit Sword rapidly spinning under his full force, fiercely countering the mysterious attack of the Mysterious Soul Seal.
The five-colored light danced up and down in mid-air, the Heavenly Spirit Sword and the Mysterious Soul Seal engaging each other in a fierce battle, with neither side giving an inch. Above, Yin Lian smiled wickedly, his hands exerting immense force to press downwards, his entire being transformed into an enormous power that was applied to the Mysterious Soul Seal. Suddenly, a massive surge of dark energy burst forth from the seal, suppressing the Heavenly Spirit Sword beneath its might.
His body trembled, and Sword Without Dust's face turned pale in an instant. His gaze fiercely stared at Yin Lian, and Sword Without Dust suddenly burst out with a fierce aura, his entire body radiating a brilliant light that made the Tianling Divine Sword shine even brighter. After descending three feet, it immediately rebounded upwards, shaking off the Xuanhun Yin symbol. With a wave of his hands, a purple mysterious color flashed across Sword Without Dust's eyes. He coldly gazed at Yin Lian once more. Sword Without Dust's right hand suddenly stretched out and grasped the long sword, his entire body transforming into a purple whirlwind that wildly spun upwards.
With a loud shout, Jian Wucheng's body burst out with an astonishing aura that suppressed all the sounds around him. In the midst of the shocking roar, Jian Wucheng was like a furious leopard, his fierce gaze fixed on Yin Lie, his figure moving in tandem with the divine sword as it launched a thousand one hundred and ninety-six consecutive attacks. The loud shout shocked Yin Lie, who seemed to have not expected that Jian Wucheng had been hiding his true strength all along, only to suddenly launch a fatal strike at this critical moment.
Darkness shook, ghostly energy burst, and the dark figure was blown away three feet in a shocking voice. In mid-air, a 100-meter-long five-colored sword pillar, accompanied by a sacred breath that devoured all ghostly souls, swept across and struck the dark figure with one blow. A miserable cry, the dark figure's entire body light extinguished, a weak breath rapidly escaped, and disappeared in an instant.
