Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

After the old demon Han Tong finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of black light and soared into the sky, heading straight for the depths of the starry sky.

Li Zhixuan smiled faintly, channeled her magic power, and followed after them.

"Who do you think will win this battle?" a celestial cultivator suddenly asked curiously.

Everyone fell silent. Although they all belonged to the immortal path, judging from her performance just now, this newly promoted celestial immortal named Li Zhixuan was not very strong. However, they could not say in public that the demonic cultivator was more powerful, as that would be demoralizing.

"Should we follow them and see?"

"Let's forget about it; the battlefield right now is more important."

"Yes, I also have to take care of my younger relatives."

Without hesitation, everyone refused, as they didn't want to waste their time watching a battle whose outcome was already predetermined.

They had even less interest in those demonic cultivators who were celestial immortals, and didn't care at all about the life or death of the old demon Han Tong.

As for the other cultivators and demonic cultivators, even if they were interested, they had no way to go to the starry sky to watch the battle and could only remain trapped in the battlefield.

……

Somewhere in the starry sky.

Two figures appeared in the once desolate and lifeless starry sky today.

"This is where you will be buried!" Han Tong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he grinned cruelly.

Li Zhixuan remained calm, showing no sign of killing intent. She simply looked at him with her dark eyes, as if announcing something that had already happened, and said, "I think this sentence is more suitable for you."

"Humph!"

Han Tong snorted disdainfully, said no more nonsense, and immediately activated his magic power. With a piercing and unpleasant scream, a streak of blood-red flashed by and went straight for Li Zhixuan's vital heart.

Seeing that Li Zhixuan simply drew her broken sword, he let out another unrestrained laugh, saying, "I never thought you were so down on your luck that you were using a broken sword."

But in the next instant, Han Tong's expression suddenly changed, his charging body abruptly stopped, and his original attack immediately turned into defense.

A dazzling, pure sword light erupted from the broken sword, and a strong sense of crisis surged within him, forcing him to do this.

boom!
Despite changing his tactics in time, he still couldn't block the attack and was sent flying.

"Cough cough..."

Fortunately, I wasn't injured; it was just that my blood and qi were churning inside me, making me feel a bit uncomfortable.

"No, how could you possibly have such strength?!" After recovering, the first thing she said was an incredulous question.

"So much nonsense!"

Li Zhixuan disdained to answer such a foolish question. Her broken sword flashed with a cold light, and in an instant, another sword aura was unleashed.

Han Tong dared not underestimate the cultivator opposite him anymore, but he still maintained strong confidence in his own strength and did not think that he would be no match for him.

So, although he took the attack seriously, he was shocked to find that the sword energy was far more powerful than he had imagined when it struck him, and he was almost knocked away again.

After two consecutive defeats, what else didn't he understand? His opponent's previous poor performance was actually a deliberate show of weakness!

"Fine! You think you can defeat me with some clever tricks? I'll show you now that the difference in strength can't be bridged by mere tricks!"

Han Tong probably felt that he had been wronged twice and lost face. Although there were no other living beings nearby, his anger was burning fiercely.

He was enveloped in a dark aura, and with a thought, a hideous and terrifying ghost bone knife appeared in his right hand, its blade engraved with countless evil spirits and demons.

As soon as it appeared, a piercing shriek of ten thousand ghosts rang out, disturbing Li Zhixuan's mind and giving her a terrible headache.

In an instant, both of their figures vanished!
boom--

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the starry sky. The sword energy and saber energy collided, instantly unleashing a terrifying shock that crushed everything in its path into ashes.

The two were thrown backward by the huge impact, but before Han Tong could regain his footing, he rushed forward again, slashing down at Li Zhixuan with his bone knife.

Clang!
A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. Li Zhixuan drew her broken sword in time to block the attack. She thought it wouldn't cause her any harm, but unexpectedly, the evil spirits and vengeful ghosts on the blade emerged and pounced on her with bared teeth and claws.

If they stick to you, they'll probably drain your life force in an instant!
"Humph!"

Li Zhixuan let out a cold snort, her whole body trembled, and her powerful killing intent condensed into small black and red swords, which directly pierced the evil ghosts and fierce spirits.

"Ahhh-"

The moment the small sword pierced their bodies, they erupted in a series of shrill howls, clearly exceeding their tolerance.

"Kill her!"

Han Tong acted like a madman, completely disregarding their lives and only thinking about killing Li Zhixuan. He quickly mobilized his magic power and controlled the evil spirits to launch an attack.

This scene made her frown. She hadn't expected this person to show signs of losing control. His mental state was far too poor. How did he even manage to cultivate to the Celestial Immortal Realm?
However, such demonic cultivators are even more dangerous!
Because under these circumstances, they are capable of anything!

Trading injury for injury and risking one's life are common tactics in their eyes.

"Damn it!" Li Zhixuan cursed under her breath, but quickly regained her composure and focused all her attention on dealing with the demonic cultivator in front of her.

As Han Tong gradually lost his mind, his attacks became increasingly exaggerated, to the point that Li Zhixuan struggled to fight back and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, looking quite disheveled.

Come to think of it, she had never been in such a sorry state since she broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm; such a situation seemed to be quite distant from her past.

But what Li Zhixuan didn't know was that the other party was also very anxious at this moment.

Because he didn't actually lose his mind, but rather used some kind of secret method to absorb ghost energy and enhance his own strength, Han Tong appeared to have lost his mind, but in reality, he deliberately let it go, and he could still perfectly control himself.

However, this secret technique has a dangerous flaw!

That means it can't last. If it lasts too long, the ghostly energy will really invade the flesh and soul, and then he will become neither human nor ghost.

Therefore, Han Tong was extremely anxious and wanted to deal with Li Zhixuan as soon as possible, but reality made it impossible. The two sides remained deadlocked for another fifteen minutes, and finally, with no other choice, he had to end the secret technique at the last moment and return to his original form.

"Ok?"

This sudden change caught Li Zhixuan's attention. After thinking for a moment, she immediately understood what was going on.

The opponent had merely used a secret technique to enhance their strength, but now that the technique could no longer be maintained, they immediately reverted to their original form.

However, Han Tong's strength was not weakened much as a result; he just looked somewhat tired and weak.

But for Li Zhixuan, this was the opportunity to break the deadlock!
He immediately swallowed several pills to restore his mana, and instantly felt a continuous warm current flowing through his body, passing through each meridian and finally into his dantian.

Her aura also became much heavier, and Li Zhixuan, who had been on the defensive, began to launch a fierce offensive.

One sword aura after another relentlessly hurtled towards Han Tong.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, how could he not understand that his previous little scheme had been seen through and that she had begun to retaliate?
Li Zhixuan would never let this golden opportunity slip by. Her right hand instinctively gripped the broken sword, pouring all her understanding of swordsmanship into this single strike.

hum!
An indescribable wave emanated from the broken end of the sword and spread rapidly. It was not a sword's cry, nor sword light, nor sword energy; it was just an ordinary-looking sword.

boom--

The sword fell as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, and the entire space and time seemed to freeze.

Han Tong suddenly looked up, his face filled with horror. The shock in his heart was beyond words. Only the most primal fear and trembling of a living being swept over him like a cold, bone-chilling tide, trying to completely drown him!
"No! How is this possible!" he shouted in terror, frantically squeezing out all his energy and mana, unleashing ghosts from the bone knife in his hand that desperately attacked the surroundings, unleashing powerful blade energy in an attempt to protect himself.

However, he still saw the sword energy constantly devouring his defenses, and seeing that he was about to be in dire straits, he had no choice but to use a life-saving measure.

A terrifying suction force erupted from Han Tong's dantian. In order to survive, he chose to devour the thousands of ghosts to enhance his own strength. His internal magic power surged instantly, and he was like a demon god descending to earth.

He originally appeared as a human, but now he had a blue face and fangs, his body was covered with black demonic patterns, his eyes were blood red, and his body was twenty or thirty feet tall.

However, although this secret method is powerful and can help people turn the tide in desperate situations and gain a chance of survival, its flaw is well known: it cannot be sustained!
Therefore, Li Zhixuan, who already had the upper hand, was not in a hurry to kill him and end the battle as soon as possible. Instead, she entangled him tightly, not giving him any chance to escape.

"Die!" Han Tong roared, his voice sweeping around like a storm.

Suddenly, billowing demonic smoke filled the air, and the bone knife in his hand swelled in the wind, transforming into a hundred-foot-long greatsword, carrying unparalleled power, attempting to break through the sword energy.

Click-click——

Swords clashed, and two incredibly powerful attacks erupted simultaneously, tearing apart space in the starry sky!
It should be noted that because the starry sky is close to the boundary membrane, the spatial intensity here is much higher than in other places, which is something that ordinary celestial beings simply cannot achieve.

But now, because of the two people's attack, this situation has arisen!
The two deadly moves were frantically consuming each other's power, but in the end, Han Tong's move, after its outburst, was more powerful. After consuming most of his power, it shattered Li Zhixuan's sword energy.

But the remaining blade energy was still terrifying, whistling as it slashed towards her.

Although she was already in poor condition due to the excessive consumption of energy and spirit from developing her killing move, she still raised her broken sword and stood firmly in front of Han Tong, determined not to give him a chance to escape.

He swallowed a large amount of pills in one gulp. Before he could refine them, they turned into sword energies, which were used to weaken and block the remaining blade energy.

Fortunately, Li Zhixuan successfully dealt with this deadly move, but she looked even more disheveled.

"Get out of my way!"

Han Tong hadn't lost his mind, so when he saw that the other party was blocking his way and refusing to retreat no matter what, he let out a somewhat hysterical roar.

"Today, it's either you or me who dies! Only one of us can leave this place!"

Upon hearing these words, he went even crazier, from shock to extreme rage.

"Fine! Fine! Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Han Tong gritted his teeth. He refused to believe that after unleashing his secret technique, he couldn't defeat a cultivator who had exhausted himself!

But as it turned out, he really couldn't solve it...

Li Zhixuan was like an unyielding, towering mountain, firmly blocking his escape route and giving him no chance whatsoever.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Han Tong could already feel his physical body collapsing, his bones, blood, soul, and dantian all being tainted by the eerie ghostly energy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, no! In just half a quarter of an hour, without the other party having to do anything else, he would die, leaving behind only a body that had become neither human nor ghost.

Therefore, he could no longer remain calm and frantically attacked Li Zhixuan in an attempt to gain a chance of survival.

Unfortunately, no matter what Han Tong did, she blocked it!
Although Li Zhixuan only looked a little disheveled, she was actually on the verge of collapse, and her body had reached its limit.

It can be said that the two are no longer competing on who is stronger, but on who has a stronger will; whoever survives to the end will be the one to prove themselves!
After a fierce battle with a true celestial being, Li Zhixuan realized one thing: celestial beings are not so easy to deal with.

If it weren't for her opponent's initial underestimation of her, which allowed her to gain the upper hand and continuously expand it, it's hard to say what the situation would be like now!
"Even if I die, I'll take you with me!" Han Tong had lost all hope of living, so now he only wanted to drag Li Zhixuan down with him.

Han Tong uttered these words with bloodshot eyes, and the last vestige of his intelligence seemed about to be swallowed up!

"Ah ah ah ah..."

A series of shrill screams erupted from him, and his massive demonic body suddenly split open with wounds, from which jet-black blood flowed out, instantly transforming into various mysterious and complex Dao patterns. A terrifying ghost, hundreds of feet tall, slowly materialized.

puff--

Li Zhixuan unleashed her long-hidden killing move at the last moment.

It was a dim sword light, but the object that emitted it was a small sword no more than three inches long!

When her natal magic sword broke, she tried her best to gather the other fragments besides the half she held, and eventually fused them together to forge this miniature spirit sword.

For some unknown reason, the small sword, though sharp, was not tough enough to be used in direct combat and could only be used for sneak attacks.

In an instant, the demonic energy dispersed, and the enormous, monstrous body turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, vanishing with the wind. (End of Chapter)
