Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Dismantling an Immortal Artifact by Hand! (4th Update)
“You wretched women, even if you’ve entered the Unity Realm, you can’t withstand our combined assault!”
The Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect and the Palace Master of Summoning Demon Palace, both peak level cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm, simultaneously brought forth two middle-grade Immortal Artifacts, All Thoughts Empty and Demonic Bone, to attack Su Qian’er.
All Thoughts Empty’s Divine Fire blazed the heavens, while Demonic Bone’s Demonic Qi flooded the sky.
The two sect-defending treasures, with their terrifying might, bore down on her as Su Qian’er parried with her Immortal Sword.
Su Qian’er’s face turned pale. Although she had stepped into the Unity Realm, her foundation was not yet stable, and the Immortal Sword in her hand was merely a lower-grade treasure, still unable to block the united Sect Masters of the Demon Sects.
The Sect Masters of both the Joyous Union Sect and Summoning Demon Palace were at the ninth layer peak of the Void Refinement Realm. Compared to Su Qian’er, who was at the first layer of the Unity Realm, their combat strength was not yet at a point where they couldn’t engage in battle with her.
“Qian’er, use this sword.”
With a slight exertion of True Qi, the Taiyuan sage sent a blood-colored Flying Sword towards Su Qian’er.
“The sect-defending treasure of the Reincarnation Hall, the Reincarnation Blood Sword.”
Grasping the middle-grade Immortal Sword, Su Qian’er wielded it with both hands, contending against the two powerful enemies, the Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect and the Palace Master of Summoning Demon Palace.
“You wretched women, your Inquiry Immortal Pavilion is already at the end of its rope. Once you fall into my hands, I will make you wish for life in vain and yearn for death but not find it.”
The Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect was not in a hurry; he and the Palace Master of the Summoning Demon Palace joint effort was to wait out Su Qian’er’s True Qi exhaustion. Sooner or later, she would inevitably be captured alive by him.
Su Qian was, after all, the Pavilion Master of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion. The Joyous Union Sect had never captured such a high-ranking fairy before.
“I want her soul; as for her body, you can have it, Joyous Union Sect.”
The Palace Master of Summoning Demon Palace coveted Su Qian’er’s powerful soul from the Unity Realm.
The Reincarnation Hall cultivates the Blood Scriptures, Joyous Union Sect cultivates the Joyous Union Art, Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons cultivates Poison Skills, and Summoning Demon Palace requires the extraction of the soul of living beings to cultivate Demonic Arts.
The soul of a Unity Realm powerhouse is exceedingly rare.
“One Sword Ice Seal!”
Xia Ningxue uttered softly as her Cold Ice Sword Qi wounded a Supreme Elder of Joyous Union Sect. His wound rapidly froze solid, the cold sealing his meridians.
“Green Dawn Sword Art!”
Xia Ningxue’s Ice Sword, swift as a gale, cut down a Void Refinement Realm expert of Joyous Union Sect.
Supreme Forgetting Love Art combined with the Green Dawn Sword Art, Xia Ningxue moved gracefully, her form swift and elegant as a startled swan or a leisurely dragon, her Sword Qi pervasive, killing both Joyous Union Sect and Summoning Demon Palace’s experts in succession.
“This woman’s cultivation is unexpectedly high; it’s truly unimaginable.”
“She is the Holy Maiden of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, second only to the Pavilion Master, a prodigy. We must join forces to kill her.”
“Good!”
Xia Ningxue drew the attention of the Supreme Elders from the Joyous Union Sect and Summoning Demon Palace.
Nine Void Refinement Realm experts of the Demon Sects attacked, various magical treasures directed towards Xia Ningxue.
Xia Ningxue’s nimble steps stirred dust in the air, her Immortal Sword twirling to form an impregnable net of swordplay that defended against attacks from all directions.
Nine Void Refinement Realm experts of the Demon Sects, yet they were powerless against her.
“Form the array!”
Six Summoning Demon Palace Void Refinement Realm experts took up positions in six different directions, each holding aloft a demonic banner inscribed with mysterious and complex demonic totems.
“Activate the Mysterious Evil Array!”
Three Joyous Union Sect experts worked together to restrain Xia Ningxue, while six Summoning Demon Palace experts took the opportunity to set up the Demon Palace’s formation.
“This is a low-grade fairy-level formation…”
Xia Ningxue’s face paled slightly.
Trapped in a Demonic Array constructed by the joined forces of six Void Refinement Realm experts using magical treasures, she too might fall.
As the boundless evil Qi of the Mysterious Evil Array spread, Xia Ningxue activated the Supreme Forgetting Love Art, guarding her spirit to avoid being affected by the evil Qi.
“Hahaha, even if you are the favored daughter of heaven, what does it matter? In the end, you’ll still fall into the hands of our Joyous Union Sect.”
“Hehe, I wonder what the Holy Maiden of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion tastes like? This old man is already impatient to find out.”
The three Supreme Elders of the Joyous Union Sect within the Mysterious Evil Array, together with the six Supreme Elders of the Summoning Demon Palace, jointly besieged Xia Ningxue.
Among these Demon Sect Supreme Elders were powerhouses at the seventh, eighth, and even ninth layers of the Void Refinement Realm.
Xia Ningxue ignored the words of these Demon Sect Supreme Elders to avoid disturbing her mind and instead concentrated on fighting her enemies.
“Xue’er!”
Seeing her own direct disciple, Su Qian’er, besieged by the nine Supreme Elders of the Demon Sects and possibly falling into their hands, she couldn’t help feeling extremely anxious.
Xia Ningxue was the Holy Maiden raised by the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, which had poured all its sect resources into her. If she fell on Mount Shu, the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion would decline from then on.
Moreover, Su Qian’er treated Xia Ningxue as if she were her own.
“Stupid woman, you should worry about yourself first.”
The Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect was even more interested in Su Qian’er than in Xia Ningxue.
“Damn it.”
Su Qian’er gritted her teeth and once again unleashed a mighty sword Qi.
The Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect used All Thoughts Empty to block Su Qian’er’s sword Qi but got injured by the impact, spitting out fresh blood.
“You seeking confrontation with the Demon Lord is a sure way to death.”
The old Flood Dragon butler struck out more than a dozen palms in quick succession, his dragon claws comparable to a low-grade Immortal Artifact, shattering Master Wuxiang’s gathered Golden Buddha colossal figure.
“You are a Great Demon of the Unity Realm…”
Master Wuxiang’s lips oozed fresh blood as his less powerful Immortal Art “Great Compassion Thousand Leaves Hand” was crushed by the old Flood Dragon butler’s overwhelming strength.
The old Flood Dragon butler, having transformed from a real Flood Dragon, possessed the terrifying strength of the Unity Realm, second only to the Demon Lord among the demon race of Huang State.
Even at the peak of the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, Master Wuxiang was no match for the old Flood Dragon butler.
The bloodline of the old Flood Dragon butler was extremely formidable, growing up with a physique strong enough to compare to a low-grade Immortal Artifact.
“Taiyuan, this time we might have to sacrifice our lives for our cause.”
Grandmaster Chen was fighting a bloody battle with two Void Refinement Realm consummate demon race powerhouses, his Immortal Artifact-level spear dancing wildly. Each collision with the demon race powerhouses produced the sound of metal clashing.
The Demon Lord suppressed everyone from Mount Shu, and the number of demon race powerhouses exceeded those of the Martial Alliance and Immeasurable Temple combined; there was no chance of victory, no matter how it was calculated.
“Going on like this, my True Qi will be exhausted…”
Xia Ningxue was trapped inside the Mysterious Evil Array, under siege by the summoned demonic forces of the three Supreme Elders of the Joyous Union Sect and the six Supreme Elders of the Summoning Demon Palace.
She was not afraid of any individual Demon Sect Supreme Elder, but she could not withstand the combined force of nine Void Refinement Realm powerhouses.
“Hehe, trapped in our Summoning Demon Palace’s Mysterious Evil Array, unless one is a Unity Realm powerhouse, it is impossible to break through the formation.”
An elder in charge of the Mysterious Evil Array from the Summoning Demon Palace greedily looked at Xia Ningxue, trapped within the array, this peerless talent of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion would soon contribute to the fame of the Mysterious Evil Array.
Suddenly, a sword came from the west, shocking the Summoning Demon Palace Supreme Elder, who quickly waved the Demonic Banner of the Mysterious Evil Array to counter the Silent Annihilation Sword!
The fearsome aura of the Silent Annihilation Sword created a crack on the Demonic Banner!
“A mid-grade Immortal Artifact?!”
The Summoning Demon Palace Supreme Elder had no time to react before a figure appeared before him, grabbing the Demonic Banner with bare hands.
What frightened the Summoning Demon Palace Supreme Elder occurred, as this figure actually snapped the low-grade Immortal Artifact-level Demonic Banner with his bare hands.
The six Demonic Banners making up the Mysterious Evil Array, a set of low-grade Immortal Artifact-level treasures, were just broken by hand…
Lu Changsheng murmured to himself, “The strength of the Nine Revolutions Divine Body really is extraordinary.”
