The Demon Suppressing Sword was covered in symbols intertwining, with elent force surging.
Lu Qingshan stared at the powerful demonic qi tide and slashed forward with a sword.
Boom!
Chi Venerable's eyes were profoundly terrifying, and at this mont, he not only used his Divine Demon Body and his utmost power but also his bloodline talent to interfere with Lu Qingshan's sword.
Under this interference, Lu Qingshan's sword, which should have been vast in power, beca chaotic and unstable.
"Such a close connection!"
But it was only limited to this; the next mont, Chi Venerable realized that even though his cultivation was higher than Lu Qingshan's by a major realm, he still couldn't completely interfere with Lu Qingshan's sword.
Because the connection between the Demon Suppressing and Lu Qingshan was too intimate, like one entity, not sothing his Bloodline Divine Ability could shake.
However, for Chi Venerable, this little interference was enough.
His Red Halberd carried supre divine might, crushing towards Lu Qingshan.
Clang!
At the critical juncture, a brilliant radiance shot out horizontally, blocking the Red Halberd.
Bam!
The Red Halberd shifted sideways, allowing Lu Qingshan to escape safely.
"Hmm?" Chi Venerable frowned subconsciously.
Because this suddenly erupted brilliant radiance prevented him from annihilating Lu Qingshan with that strike.
At this mont, light flickered, and Xia Daoyun's figure appeared.
At the critical mont, she freed herself from the encirclent of Ming Venerable and War Venerable, assisting Lu Qingshan in blocking Chi Venerable's fierce attack.
Chi Venerable's eyes glimred, looking at Xia Daoyun with a touch of red at the corner of her mouth, coldly saying, "There's no need to rush to your death; both of you will fall here today, it's just a matter of ti."
"But you should be careful too, better not let drag you down," Xia Daoyun replied straightforwardly.
This was her determination, also her confidence.
However, she still felt regretful inside; if she truly falls here today, she won't be able to witness Lu Qingshan's future.
That day will be incredibly glorious, but ti waits for no one.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Chi Venerable wasn't intimidated by Xia Daoyun's words.
The Red Halberd in his hand rumbled, emitting rolling demonic qi, wanting to tear Heaven and Earth.
Chi Venerable directly switched targets, striking at Xia Daoyun to completely annihilate her.
He was ferociously overwhelming, possessing an unstoppable stance.
War Venerable and Ming Venerable, who had just been shaken off by Xia Daoyun, also followed closely, making every effort to slay Xia Daoyun.
Bam!
One after another, sword qi disintegrated, and sword light dispersed, chaos reigned here.
Demonic qi churned the sky do, causing heaven to collapse and earth to shatter.
Xia Daoyun charged, resisted, and fought desperately, but human power is always finite, let alone she had endured a prolonged assault in the Canghai World earlier, consuming greatly.
In this state, just entering the Sword Immortal Realm, she was collectively suppressed by Chi Venerable, Ming Venerable, and War Venerable. Even with exceptional talent, she felt powerless to reverse the situation, unable to resist.
Xia Daoyun was suppressed, her injuries accumulating.
.....
The demonic qi was overwhelmingly intense, even obscuring the bright moon in the sky.
In the area of tens of thousands of miles radius, the endless demonic qi made living beings extinct.
The next mont, a demonic qi tornado roared in.
Xia Daoyun's cold face was shrouded in frost, wielding her sword, chopping down fiercely.
A sword slashed down, initially not revealing any power, as if strength was absent, yet such a bland slash forcibly shattered the demonic qi tornado.
"It's not over yet!" War Venerable sneered wickedly, his malevolent eyes gleaming.
The shattered demonic qi surged abruptly, regrouping into a mass of demon fla.
The fla was multicolored, possessing terrifying heat, causing the air to sizzle and crack.
The demon fla transford, instantly morphing into a ghostly face, howling outward, shooting toward Xia Daoyun.
Xia Daoyun had no ti to change her move, but with a blink, sword light burst from her eyes, slashing at the ghostly face ford by the demonic fla.
The ghostly face seed alive, emitting mournful screams, but amidst the swaying demonic fla, the sword light was engulfed, rising with a poof, enveloping Xia Daoyun's tall figure.
The demon fla surged, aiming to consu Xia Daoyun.
But just a mont later, the demon fla exploded open.
Xia Daoyun's figure reappeared, with fine sweat erging on her glossy face, a faint sliver shadowed across, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her lips.
"How long can you endure?" War Venerable smiled faintly.
Xia Daoyun saw the situation and sighed softly in her heart.
At this mont, Lu Qingshan received a divine sense ssage from Xia Daoyun.
"I'll try my best to eliminate one of them, take this opportunity to escape."
"They won't let you go either, but with your abilities, I believe you have a chance to return to Yun Pass."
"Sword Sect needs you, Yun Pass needs you… the Human Race also needs you." She didn't attempt to persuade Lu Qingshan, but she believed Lu Qingshan understood the significance of the situation.
As the ssage ended, Xia Daoyun slightly closed her eyes.
Chi Venerable had once been puzzled why she, who had just entered the Sword Immortal Realm, possessed combat power completely unmatched by her cultivation.
Actually, the reason was quite simple.
Since ascending to the Sword Immortal Realm, Xia Daoyun could feel a powerful force lurking within her body.
It was the power from her bloodline.
The bloodline of the Ancestral Taoist.
And now, she prepared to sacrifice her bloodline power to summon the strongest force from within her bloodline, to fight to the death with the Three Venerables, and earn Lu Qingshan the chance to leave.
However, just as she was about to unleash the power within her bloodline, a familiar voice sounded beside her.
A strong and broad hand pulled her to the back, forcing her out of that state.
"This ti, let say those words."
What words?
Xia Daoyun's tranquil heart was suddenly stirred.
Lu Qingshan stepped forward, blocking in front of Xia Daoyun.
Blocking in front of the Sword Immortal Realm Xia Daoyun.
"With , Lu Qingshan here, no one can harm her."
He said calmly.
.....
The familiar lines seed to echo in her ears, but now the roles were reversed.
Endless demonic Qi surged, even the Sky Do seed to crack, yet that slender figure stood quietly in front of Xia Daoyun.
No matter how overwhelming the demonic Qi waves were, they could not sweep over.
When Lu Qingshan, with a slightly hoarse voice, uttered those words as if proclaiming a declaration, he turned around to look at the blood-stained robe of Xia Daoyun, the crimson corners of her mouth, and even in dire situations, her brows and eyes still bore the familiar cold expression.
Xia Daoyun's coolness was not indifference but a naturally regal deanor, perhaps due to her background, perhaps because of her bloodline, or possibly her nature.
Yet at this mont, Xia Daoyun's eyes, which had barely fluctuated even in the face of life and death, were uncharacteristically disturbed.
— The man standing before her wasn't stirring her heart for the first ti.
Whether due to insecurity or sothing else, eting Lu Qingshan's gaze this ti made Xia Daoyun instinctively shift her sight, as if unable to bear looking directly at him.
"What makes you think….."
The Three Venerables stared at Lu Qingshan, finding it sowhat amusing, but before War Venerable could finish his mocking remark, Lu Qingshan interrupted directly.
"With this."
He looked handso, took a deep breath, lifted his head, and gazed at the sky.
"Don't you want to kill ?"
"Then co on!"
As the words fell.
The dense demonic Qi covering the sky imdiately dissipated.
Because a more violent aura rose from the sky, changing the wind and clouds, dominating everything, allowing no other presence.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Under the night moon, bolts of lightning appeared, intertwining on Gao Tian, constantly rolling.
The Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
"Please face the tribulation…" Lu Qingshan said softly.
Due to unhealed injuries, he didn't have confidence and had not chosen to face the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation until now.
The tribulation clouds, imnse and endless, lawless and boundless.
They instantly locked onto Lu Qingshan.
Compared to the massive tribulation cloud and terrifying thunder, Lu Qingshan's slender form seed even frailer, swaying and unsteady.
Xia Daoyun slightly raised her gaze, seeing the thunder all over the sky, the upright figure like a pine, like a mountain, the sect master robe adorned with black and gold dragon patterns, and the strands of hair scattered loosely in the wind.
Against the primarily black tone of the sect master robe, those hair strands were as white as snow.
Lu Qingshan, white-haired like snow.
