The stalemate between both parties has lasted so long, and it’s not only Li Zhixuan who has expended a huge amount of mana.
Although those five demon cultivators alternately made ti to restore so mana, when facing Li Zhixuan, they had to give it their all. The bits of mana restored could at most allow them to last one or two more monts or make one or two more lethal moves.
Sss——
The long sword swept across, sword qi soaring, the intense killing aura causing the five people’s eyelids to twitch erratically as they hurriedly deployed defensive divine abilities.
Regret filled their hearts even more, knowing full well Li Zhixuan’s formidable power, yet previously not seizing the opportunity to strike and kill her directly, but instead thinking of humiliating her to vent their own anger.
Looking back now, such actions were incredibly foolish!
Unfortunately, they realized it a bit too late.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream made the hearts of the remaining demon cultivators skip a beat.
Among them, one had already had his left hand severed completely!
Earlier, taking advantage of the mont when the five were defending against attacks, Li Zhixuan flashed out in front of the most powerful demon cultivator, seized the mont of weakened defense, and slashed out with her sword again.
Originally intending to strike him down directly, she was caught off guard as the demon cultivator reacted at the final mont. Unable to dodge, he turned and used his arm to block the blow, narrowly preserving his life.
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan furrowed her brow; after such a long battle, not only was her mana heavily consud, but her divine sense and energy had also declined greatly.
’I must solve them quickly!’
Li Zhixuan didn’t hesitate for a mont and launched another attack at the demon cultivator in front of her.
If at this ti she were facing cultivators, others would likely co to his aid, employing divine power behind Li Zhixuan to forcibly make her retreat.
Regrettably, in the awareness of demon cultivators, aiding companions simply does not exist.
Instead, seeing Li Zhixuan targeting one person, they were relieved, and then two of the demon cultivators withdrew and fled.
Fleeing, in the view of demon cultivators, is never a disgrace; they will do anything as long as they can survive.
But they didn’t know that while originally attacking another demon cultivator, Li Zhixuan curled her lips into a smile, swiftly withdrew, and swung her sword at the two fleeing individuals.
The sword qi contained like a teor streaking across, making no noise at all, yet it directly pierced the hearts of the unwary two.
With a "boom," the sword qi exploded inside them, causing flesh and blood to scatter and leaving no trace of their bodies.
They could never have imagined that Li Zhixuan’s initial goal was precisely the demon cultivators attempting to escape; all previous maneuvers were rely laying the groundwork for her true intent.
"Clap clap——"
An abrupt applause rang out in the wilderness, the female demon cultivator who had been quietly standing by smiled, her tone filled with praise:
"What remarkable skill! If more cultivators possessed abilities like yours, or even if just a third did, the demonic Tao would find itself in an even more difficult situation."
Li Zhixuan’s gaze narrowed; this person was actually late-stage individual immortal! Previously, she had concealed her strength all along—now seeing the situation settled, she no longer plans to hide?
Most importantly, she had seemingly overlooked this person’s presence until now!
"Your abilities certainly surpass mine."
Li Zhixuan’s expression was indifferent; regardless of the opponent’s strength, with the mysterious sword in hand, she never feels fear.
"Hee hee hee~"
The female demon cultivator chuckled at the words, her laughter as pleasing as silver bells, softly saying: "Little sister is no match for big sister; I’ll make my leave first."
"But thank you for the gift this ti, big sister."
Before finishing, she had already vanished on the wind.
Li Zhixuan’s divine sense erupted powerfully, but she couldn’t find any trace of her within several tens of miles!
As for the gift she ntioned, it was the demon cultivator with an arm severed, leaving using an identical thod!
And the demon cultivator practicing cultivation evil skill, during their confrontation, had silently tunneled away.
Looking at the empty wilderness, Li Zhixuan transford into sword light, speeding away for flying escape, needing to quickly find a safe place to suppress her injuries, then return to Immortal City.
anwhile, hundreds of miles away.
Bai Jie breathed heavily, his expression fraught with fear, lips constantly moving, muttering: "I never expected to encounter that witch!"
"Hee hee hee~"
Unnoticed until now, another figure appeared in the open wilderness, softly laughing: "Which witch is Master Bai referring to?"
Demonic Tao actually constituted an enormous sect known as Holy Origin Sect, allowing all demon cultivators to address each other as fellow mbers.
However, Holy Origin Sect fragnted due to certain events, splintering into nurous sects and families, each pursuing its own interests, with no supre force mighty enough to dominate the demonic Tao.
Thus, even now, all factions within demonic Tao rely refer to the Holy Sect, Holy Religion verbally, yet never truly think about rebuilding it.
Bai Jie, anwhile, seed like a puppet, vacant and unresponsive.
"Hmm?"
The female demon cultivator exclaid in surprise, casually pointing, causing a segnt of wooden arm to sever with spirit light.
"Interesting! Interesting! I didn’t expect this Master Bai to have so many ans."
After barely suppressing her injuries in the wilderness, Li Zhixuan promptly returned to Immortal City, entering seclusion to heal in her rented cave mansion for several months.
Erging later, her aura suddenly turned solemn, showing no sharpness whatsoever. Even the killing aura amassed from slaying countless lives appeared to be completely purged.
