Lightning crisscrossed, and seven Golden Bodies occupied half the sky, their Dharmas dim under the lightning strikes.
Using such a powerful killing move, Chu Huaian was not feeling well; his spiritual energy was depleted by more than half.
"That monster Chu Huaian must not be allowed to live!"
The Elder of Luoyun Sect felt fear; Chu Huaian's performance now was even more terrifying than three years ago.
Although he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, his strength was no less than any Golden Core Stage cultivator, and he could even fight seven at once. With such extraordinary combat power, if he were to break through to the Golden Core Stage in time...
The Elder of Luoyun Sect shuddered at the thought. Given Chu Huaian's character, he would definitely seek mad revenge for the destruction of Xuantian Sect back then.
"Everyone, if you don't want your sects to be destroyed, don't hold back! If Chu Huaian doesn't die today, the day your sects are destroyed will come!"
The words of the Elder of Luoyun Sect stirred the other six, who clearly had also considered this point.
"No matter what, he must be slain here today!" Someone roared.
The already dim Dharmas suddenly burst with golden light, and various secret techniques were unleashed, jointly resisting the myriad lightning bolts.
One sect elder ascended against the current, his Dharma's hands clasped together, and countless palm prints materialized behind him, blasting away the surrounding lightning, charging towards Chu Huaian with irresistible force.
Facing such an onslaught, Chu Huaian's eyes erupted with endless killing intent. Standing high in the sky, he waved his hands downwards: "Sword, come!"
Rumble—
Above the firmament, the clouds parted, and a giant sword slowly emerged from the clouds, countless lightning bolts swirling around its blade.
Everyone raised their heads, their eyes filled with shock.
Suddenly, the giant sword's speed drastically increased, smashing down with an aura of world-destroying power.
Bang, bang—
Dense palm prints slammed onto the giant sword.
"Slay!!"
Chu Huaian's eyes were wide with fury, his spiritual energy boiling around him.
The giant sword pressed forward, breaking through layers of fist prints.
Crack—
The Golden Body was shattering.
That elder's expression darkened, and he quickly pulled out a shield from his storage ring to block in front of him.
What everyone didn't expect was that the shield couldn't withstand the giant sword's attack and was instantly shattered.
Bang—
That elder instantly exploded.
Everyone was stunned. The battle had just begun, and Chu Huaian had actually killed a Golden Core Stage cultivator while being besieged by six people.
The sky-filled lightning had now vanished.
Chu Huaian retracted his flying sword, his face somewhat pale, and quickly pulled out a pill from his storage ring, stuffing it into his mouth.
"He doesn't have much spiritual energy left, everyone attack!"
The Elder of Luoyun Sect's words startled the other five, who immediately controlled their Dharmas and swarmed forward.
Facing the siege of several people, Chu Huaian wore a cold smile and met them with his flying sword.
With the blessing of the Lightning Spirit, the spiritual sword became exceptionally powerful, each sword qi accompanied by the power of thunder.
Chu Huaian could still calmly deal with the attacks of the others, but the Elder of Luoyun Sect's attacks, he could only barely resist.
In mid-air, six Golden Bodies continuously attacked, Chu Huaian's figure constantly weaving among them, leaving afterimages everywhere.
After more than a dozen exchanges, Chu Huaian decisively retreated, sheathing his sword at his waist, his gaze fixed on one of them.
"Instantaneous Sword!"
He transformed into a purple lightning bolt, breaking through the attacks of the others, finally appearing behind everyone.
Time briefly paused, and everyone turned around, confused.
The next second.
The Golden Body of that person just now split into two, a head soaring high into the air.
This was not over yet. While the others were still in shock, Chu Huaian quickly adjusted his position, forming hand seals, and his spiritual sword shot into the sky, transforming into 72 flying swords.
"Go!"
The 72 flying swords turned into streaks of purple light, firmly locking onto one person.
At this point, the others had reacted and simultaneously launched attacks at Chu Huaian.
The Elder of Luoyun Sect controlled his Dharma, drawing a bow and nocking an arrow. An arrow formed of spiritual energy shot directly towards Chu Huaian.
Bursts of explosions echoed in the air. The arrow hadn't even arrived, but Chu Huaian already felt the terrifying power contained within it.
The others also launched Dharma attacks, four large blades simultaneously slashing down.
The onlookers held their breath, their eyes fixed on Chu Huaian without blinking.
This time, Chu Huaian was probably doomed.
But to everyone's surprise, Chu Huaian had no intention of dodging, his hands still pointing like a sword.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Streaks of flying swords pierced through that person's Dharma, and the last sword even pierced through that person's heart, pinning him to the charred deep pit.
At the same time, the attacks of the others followed one after another.
Bang—
The ground cracked into countless fissures, extending outwards. The earth rumbled, unable to withstand the pressure, and shattered into several large pieces.
Everyone looked closely, only to see Chu Huaian surrounded by the power of thunder, holding up a Tai Chi Eight Trigrams diagram with both hands, desperately resisting the combined attack of the five.
"Pfft..."
Chu Huaian suddenly spat out a mouthful of clotted blood. Cracks crisscrossed his skin, and a large amount of blood seeped out, turning him into a bloodied figure in no time.
"Chu Huaian, you will surely die today!" The Elder of Luoyun Sect's face was ferocious. He raised his Dharma's palm and slapped down again.
"Want to kill me? You're not qualified enough!"
Chu Huaian's eyes were bloodshot. The scene of Xuantian Sect's destruction flashed through his mind, and killing intent surged in his heart, as if it would swallow his rationality.
"Break for me!"
Without hesitation, Chu Huaian directly burned his origin, holding the Innate Eight Trigrams diagram with both hands, breaking free from the restraints and colliding with the Dharma's palm.
Bang—
Both unleashed powerful aftershocks.
Chu Huaian's speed did not decrease. With a pull of his hands, the Innate Eight Trigrams diagram split into two. The two energies of Yin and Yang enveloped one person, actually refining the opponent within, leaving no trace behind.
"How dare you!" The remaining three were enraged and all chose to burn their origins.
By now, everyone in the battle was seeing red, willing to sacrifice their lifespan to kill the opponent.
The battle escalated again. Chu Huaian, with his physical body, directly withstood the attacks of the Elder of Luoyun Sect, and with the help of the aftershock's power, a single sword pierced through the Golden Body of one person.
The last remaining person was already frightened by Chu Huaian's madness, and his body involuntarily took a step back.
Seeing this, Chu Huaian threw the spiritual sword in his hand away, then turned to face the Elder of Luoyun Sect.
At this moment, Chu Huaian's body was in tatters, supported only by his tenacious will.
If he hadn't constantly tempered his physique, he might have been blown apart by that last attack from the Elder of Luoyun Sect.
At this time, the other person was entangled by the Sword Spirit and Lightning Spirit, unable to be distracted at all.
Only the Elder of Luoyun Sect remained, facing Chu Huaian alone.
Chu Huaian was covered in blood, his eyes soaked with it, looking like a fiend crawled out of hell.
The Elder of Luoyun Sect dismissed his Golden Body, pulled out a pill and put it in his mouth, then took out a scroll and threw it into the sky.
The scroll grew with the wind, bearing a 'Suppress' character, and a faint pressure emanated from it, locking onto Chu Huaian.
"This is a relic left by the previous Sect Master of Falling Cloud Sect, the Suppress Character Art!" Someone recognized the scroll and exclaimed in surprise.
"Chu Huaian is probably really going to fall here this time. The Suppress Character Art is equivalent to a Nascent Soul Stage attack. Even a late Golden Core Stage cultivator cannot withstand its attack. What a pity." Zhong Li showed a look of regret, shaking her head as she spoke.
Just as everyone thought Chu Huaian would perish, a cold laugh was heard: "Comparing foundations? I'll show you what a foundation is!"
