"You can devour the spirit sword transformed within the spirit array, can you dare to devour my innate spirit weapon again?"
Bai Luan let out a cold snort, then with a thought, the spirit sword in his hand instantly slashed down at Li Xuan.
*Yin!*
A sword cry, like a dragon's roar, resounded. In the next moment, under the gaze of everyone, it instantly struck Li Xuan, who was 'full of panic'.
Sword light surged, like daylight. The terrifying shock wave swept through the remnants of the clouds, and everyone stared intently.
*Burp.*
A few minutes later, a crisp burping sound echoed between heaven and earth. Li Xuan's figure reappeared in everyone's eyes.
*Boom!*
In the next instant, a rumbling sound echoed from within Li Xuan's body again.
Dao Integration Realm, Advanced!
"Holy crap, that innate spirit weapon is gone?!"
"Damn it, this Li Xuan of Xuan Sect can even devour innate spirit weapons!"
"That's an innate spirit weapon, and it's gone just like that? And Li Xuan actually broke through again!"
"..."
The crowd buzzed, their faces filled with profound shock. Such a scene was enough to subvert everyone's perception of innate spirit weapons. For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"My spirit weapon!"
"Pfft!"
As the spirit sword was devoured by Li Xuan, Bai Luan's face finally showed a trace of panic. He immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. With this mouthful of blood, Bai Luan's aura instantly weakened.
Li Xuan was not surprised by this. Spirit weapons were in a state of recognition with their spirit masters. Now that the spirit weapon was devoured by him, it was like the spirit master had fallen. Naturally, there would be a backlash against Bai Luan. It was just that he hadn't expected the impact on Bai Luan to be so great.
"Strike while the iron is hot, take your life!" Li Xuan naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. With a thought, his Shijian sword instantly appeared. Muttering softly, he directly slashed at Bai Luan.
*Boom!*
Dazzling sword light flashed, illuminating the heavens and earth as if it were day. Under this sword light, Bai Luan's utterly horrified expression formed a stark contrast to his former calm demeanor.
The moment the sword light enveloped him, the sword's edge of Shijian instantly fell upon Bai Luan.
"No, I..."
Before Bai Luan could finish speaking, his voice abruptly ceased.
As the dazzling golden light shone down, everyone also turned to block it. When the light gradually faded, everyone looked back and immediately focused on the sky.
In mid-air, Li Xuan's robes fluttered in the wind. Holding Shijian, he faced Shi Hongyi and the others.
After a brief silence, Li Xuan slowly said, "Bai Luan is dead, not a single disciple of Sheng Sect shall be spared!"
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Shi Hongyi and the others' faces lit up with joy. Then, with a movement of their figures, they immediately shot towards the disciples of Sheng Sect on the mountain range.
Although dozens of people had perished in the previous ruins, in terms of numbers, they were still several hundred fewer than the Sheng Sect members on the mountain range. However, the remaining seven hundred or so people did not show any fear and charged into the Sheng Sect ranks as if they were fearless.
Perhaps because Bai Luan was killed, the disciples of Sheng Sect, upon seeing the people from Xuan Sect charging at them, immediately fled rapidly towards the depths of the mountain range. Seeing this, Li Xuan waved his hand, and terrifying sword light instantly slashed at the forefront of the Sheng Sect disciples.
Seeing this, Shi Hongyi and the others' bodies instantly lit up with spiritual light. Then, the spirit weapons in everyone's hands also appeared.
Shi Hongyi raised the spirit weapon in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"
"Throughout history, the victor becomes king and the loser becomes a bandit. I never thought that today, Sheng Sect would be a step behind." Watching as all nearly a thousand people from Sheng Sect had their retreat blocked by Li Xuan, the leaders of various factions watched all this in silence. After the Sheng Sect ranks were completely wiped out, a man sighed and shook his head.
"If that Li Xuan had lost, I'm afraid the Xuan Sect would have met the same fate. The grudges between Xuan Sect and Sheng Sect run deep. Whoever wins or loses should have known the consequences. It's just that the number one person below the Holy Son has actually fallen here."
"Indeed. For so many years, Bai Luan held that title, only to be defeated by an unknown nobody today. What kind of monster is this Li Xuan of Xuan Sect, to be able to devour innate spirit weapons? Truly terrifying!"
"Unknown nobody? After this battle, I'm afraid Li Xuan's name will soon resound throughout the Holy Yuan Continent."
"..."
The crowd murmured, and in their gazes, which inadvertently fell upon Li Xuan in mid-air, there was a hint of awe.
Everyone clearly understood that unless a presence at the Holy Son level or above intervened, no one could defeat him.
Even if the total number of people present combined exceeded two hundred thousand, after witnessing Li Xuan's strength, no one would dare to challenge Li Xuan.
"Senior Brother Li Xuan is too strong..." Looking at Li Xuan, who was slowly descending and walking in front of the Xuan Sect disciples, the Chief Disciple of Qing Lian also had a look of immense shock on her face.
"I never expected him to be able to kill that Bai Luan. Earlier, I even spoke of protecting his life. How could such a being need my protection?" The Chief Disciple of Mudan also said with a wry smile, shaking her head.
"In that situation, who could have foreseen this outcome? And from the beginning, it was Junior Sister who pleaded with Senior Sister. In the end, it was my own lack of foresight." The Chief Disciple of Qing Lian grabbed the hand of the Chief Disciple of Mudan and said with a sigh.
The Chief Disciple of Mudan patted the back of the Chief Disciple of Qing Lian's hand with some heartache, then said, "Let's go. Now that the Soul Slaying Array has disappeared, there's no need for us to wait here any longer. We should go and meet with Senior Sister Saintess and the others as soon as possible to discuss matters."
"Alright." The Chief Disciple of Qing Lian glanced at Li Xuan, who was in the center of the crowd, then nodded.
As the team from Wanhua Palace entered the mountain range, the teams from other factions, after a brief discussion, also began to set off.
In an instant, the large groups present all set in motion, and within less than an hour, they were all gone. The teams from various factions also tacitly avoided each other, and no disputes arose.
Everyone understood clearly that the final contest would only begin when they reached the deepest part.
"Senior Brother Li Xuan, they've all gone in, should we go in too?" As everyone departed, Shi Hongyi looked at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan shook his head and looked behind him. "Earlier, when I was fighting with that Bai Luan, I glanced at the communication talisman. A team from our Xuan Sect is already heading this way. Calculating the time, they should be here soon."
"Also, we don't know the situation of Senior Brother Ming Chi and the others yet. So, we should wait until the other teams have all arrived before entering."
"Alright." Shi Hongyi and the others nodded upon hearing this. Then, after some arrangements, small teams of ten people quickly rushed towards the rear, clearly to welcome the Xuan Sect's team.
"Brother Li, are you alright?" After Shi Hongyi and the others had each taken up their duties, Xi Chu Yun looked at Li Xuan and asked.
"It's nothing, just a bit exhausted. I didn't expect that Bai Luan to be so powerful. If that guy wasn't a bit foolish, it would have been difficult to defeat him so easily." Li Xuan replied with a smile, shaking his head.
Bai Luan: "..."
"Brother Li's secrets are truly unbelievable. I suppose Bai Luan never expected his end to be like this." Xi Chu Yun said with emotion.
"This battle can indeed be considered a stroke of luck for me." Li Xuan nodded.
"Brother Li, you should recuperate first. I'll guard you." Xi Chu Yun said.
"Alright." As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to recuperate.
