The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 769 Utter Defeat
Seven Flowers Kill was the strongest killing move of the Seven Stars Lotus Formation, a desperate technique born from the brink of death.
Succeed, or die trying... In other words, either I kill you, or I die!
The seven nuns looked solemn, wielding their long swords, transforming into streams of rainbow light!
The seven streams of light converged into a giant lotus flower, and from the flower's stamen, a seven-colored sword shot out, aimed directly at Ximen Aoxue.
"Heh, petty tricks. How dare you show off your axe in front of Lu Ban's door?"
With a sneer, Ximen Aoxue waved his hand. One of the five fierce ghosts standing like mountains, its skin a dark cyan color, reached out a hand to grab the sword.
With a *poof*, the sword, seemingly possessing world-destroying energy, was shattered by the cyan-skinned ghost with a single slap.
Streams of light scattered, turning into rainbows, eventually disappearing into the void.
At the same time, another disheveled ghost punched down towards the giant lotus flower.
This long-haired ghost had bulging muscles, lines as if carved by knives and axes, filled with狂暴 power!
"Ha—"
With a furious roar, the long-haired ghost's fist slammed into the lotus flower.
*Poof—*
The same scene replayed itself. The giant lotus transformed into seven-colored streams of light, dissipating like rainbows.
From within the rainbows, seven black shadows flew out, crashing heavily onto the ground.
It was the seven nuns who had formed the array, led by Qinglian Daoshou.
At this moment, each of them was seriously injured, blood uncontrollably spilling from their mouths, their meridians shattered, their lives seemingly hanging by a thread.
"Daoshou!"
"Shizun!"
"Elder!"
…
The Tianlian Sect disciples looked anxious, shouting as they rushed forward, trying to rescue the seven lotus nuns.
Unfortunately, their strength was insufficient. Ximen Aoxue simply unleashed a saber strike, the saber qi forming a chasm in front of the disciples, preventing them from advancing.
"Heh, don't worry. After I kill these seven lotuses, I'll deal with you!"
Ximen Aoxue casually glanced at the disciples, scaring them into retreat as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Qinglian, never thought you'd have this day!"
Ximen Aoxue dragged his blood-colored saber, slowly walking towards Qinglian Daoshou.
With a dragging sound, the Bloodthirster Saber carved a groove in the ground.
Although Qinglian Daoshou was at her limit, her face showed no fear.
"Ximen Aoxue, kill me if you want, stop with the nonsense! Just the dissipation of the body and the Dao, do you think this Daoshou is afraid?"
In fact, when Qinglian Daoshou and Ximen Aoxue first entered the Xianyin Realm, their strengths were comparable.
However, the principle of cultivation in the Xianyin Realm was to be detached from emotions, while Qinglian Daoshou always kept Tushan Che in her heart.
Therefore, over the centuries, her cultivation had not improved much.
With this disparity, she had long anticipated this day.
It was just a pity that she had failed to protect the other disciples of the Tianlian Sect; this was what she felt most guilty about.
"Humph, kill us if you want. We of the Tianlian Sect are not afraid of death. No need for your demonic words!"
Even in the face of death, Hualian still had her fiery temper, unwilling to tolerate any impurity.
The other nuns did not speak, but their gazes were resolute, without fear or hesitation, presumably sharing the same thoughts.
Seeing this, Qinglian Daoshou felt even more remorseful.
"It was this seat that harmed you..."
She sighed, saying helplessly.
"Qinglian Daoshou, there's no need to blame yourself. These are all destined. We are just following the will of heaven. If the Tianxue Sect dares to massacre the Tianlian Sect today, the other hidden sects will definitely not sit idly by. In the end, their fate will be the same as ours. We are just leaving a little earlier."
Jiaolian chuckled, saying each word clearly.
Hearing her analysis, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.
"Heh, Jiaolian, you little bitch, you think you can scare this seat like this?"
Ximen Aoxue sneered, "As long as I refine the qi and blood of your Tianlian Sect disciples, this seat will break through to the Great Perfection of the Transformation Void Realm. At that time, even if someone wants to seek justice for you, they will have to weigh their own strength first!"
Qinglian Daoshou was horrified. She had not expected that Ximen Aoxue had become so strong without her realizing it.
If he truly succeeded in breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Transformation Void Realm, then the Tianxue Sect would be promoted to a medium-sized sect in the Xianyin Realm.
Alas, thinking of this, Qinglian felt even more despair.
Perhaps, as Jiaolian said, all of this was destined, fated by destiny.
"Qinglian, prepare to die. This seat will now use your blood to consecrate the Bloodthirster Saber!"
Ximen Aoxue grinned hideously, his face becoming even more twisted.
"Alas, farewell, Tushan Che. I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the next life."
Qinglian Daoshou silently recited in her heart. She slowly closed her eyes, two lines of clear tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Go to hell!"
Ximen Aoxue slashed the saber towards Qinglian's jade-like neck.
This saber could not only sever the physical body, but also shatter the primordial spirit!
Ximen Aoxue was still somewhat wary of Qinglian after all. Only by completely killing Qinglian could he be sure that the situation was set!
However, at this moment, a streak of yellow light whistled out from the Tianlian Sect, heading straight for Qinglian Daoshou's direction.
However, its target was naturally not Qinglian Daoshou herself, but the red saber that was slashing towards Qinglian Daoshou!
*Ding!*
The yellow light struck the descending Bloodthirster Saber. Ximen Aoxue felt a terrifyingly powerful force transmitted from the saber, instantly spreading throughout his body, paralyzing him completely.
*Shua—*
The Bloodthirster Saber slipped from Ximen Aoxue's hand and flew away!
Only then did the cultivators see clearly that the yellow light was actually a magical jade sword!
After the magical jade sword stopped Ximen Aoxue's inevitable strike on Qinglian Daoshou, it turned around and flew towards the direction it had come from.
Everyone looked in the direction it was flying and saw a young man in black robes walking out of the Tianlian Sect.
Due to the black robes, people could not see the person's appearance clearly, nor could they detect the aura on his body, or even determine his gender!
The magical jade sword flew to his side, but the black-robed man did not reach out to catch it. Instead, the magical jade sword circled around the black-robed man like a devoted dog.
Not far behind the black-robed man, Zhonglian's entire expression was blank, as if she was in a state of disbelief at what she was seeing.
Qinglian had waited a long time for the saber to fall on her neck. She couldn't help but open her eyes to see what had happened.
Then, she saw Chen Xiao slowly walking along the square path.
"This kid, why hasn't he left yet? What is he doing here? Looking for death?"
Qinglian was shocked, and her heart sank!
