I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 691 Xuanwu's Guardian (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The nine emperors were furious. Not only had the ants they had controlled for three hundred years escaped certain death, but they dared to appear before them so arrogantly.

"court death!"

Emperor Kun was the first to erupt. The stone terracotta warriors in the underground palace moved in unison, raising their crossbows and firing them at Jiang Yi and the others.

A buzzing sound tore through the air, and countless giant arrows formed from the spiritual power of earth and stone rained down like a sudden black storm, carrying a terrifying force capable of piercing mountains.

Almost simultaneously, a fierce glint flashed in the Emperor of Qin's eyes, and his ten fingers swept across the ancient zither that suddenly appeared in front of him like a whirlwind.

The invisible sound waves transformed into billions of poisoned needles, piercing straight into the depths of everyone's souls.

The Azure Emperor followed closely behind, and with a flick of his sleeves, twelve giant swords, all emerald green in color, materialized out of thin air. Runes flowed across the sword blades, emanating a chilling sword intent that could sever life and annihilate all things.

The Azure Emperor pointed his finger, and twelve giant green wooden swords arrived first, leaving dark cracks in the space where the swords passed.

Rumble!
The dome of the underground palace was completely blown open, and the smoke, dust, and debris, along with the devastating attack, completely engulfed the area where Jiang Yi and his group of eight were located.

As the others squinted and prepared to act, they suddenly saw a chilling, eerie blue flame surge and spread from the center of the explosion, instantly freezing.

Click.

A colossal crystal wall, crystal clear and translucent, appeared out of thin air. Its surface was covered with ancient patterns resembling tortoise shells, radiating an aura of indestructibility and isolation from all laws, firmly protecting the eight people within it.

A flash of blue light appeared on the crystal wall, and a terrifying recoil force erupted!

Countless stone arrows, carrying eerie blue flames, swept back at an even faster speed than when they came. The Nine Emperors waved their sleeves and retreated to defend themselves. In an instant, the area in front of the stone terracotta army was cleared. The hard stone armor shattered and burned like paper in the blue flames, causing chaos.

The twelve giant green wooden swords of the Azure Emperor shattered inch by inch upon impacting the crystal wall, turning into countless green light spots that dissipated.

The Azure Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he let out a muffled groan, clearly suffering a backlash as well.

The Emperor Qin's sound waves couldn't penetrate even a fraction of the sound, all in vain.

"This is... the power of Xuanwu!"

The nine emperors were speechless, their fury instantly replaced by disbelief and horror.

Inside the crystal wall, Zhao Cangyun, Shen Puning, and the others stared dumbfounded at the blue flames enveloping them. When they saw the Qin Emperor and the Qing Emperor make their move, they had almost scattered and fled to hide. It was Jiang Yi who told them to stand still.

The flames not only blocked attacks that could have crushed them instantly, but also a pure and vast spiritual energy, indescribable in its own right, continuously flowed into their bodies through the crystal wall.

The energy they had previously expended below was rapidly recovering, even showing signs of improvement, and their injuries were healing faster under the warm current.

The terrifying pressure and soul-targeting attacks of the Nine Emperors were weakened by more than half under the protection of this layer of blue flames!

The so-called Xuanling Qi is actually spiritual energy containing a very small amount of Xuanwu power. Because Xuanwu's power level is very high, they have never understood what Xuanling Qi is.

Anyone who comes into contact with the power of Xuanwu will naturally be trapped in the cage formed by Xuanwu's heart and suppressed by Xuanwu's lingering will.

With such powerful protection, they can put up a fight against the Nine Emperors!
"Cangyun, catch!"

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and two beams of dark light shot towards Zhao Cangyun.

Zhao Cangyun raised his hand, and two long, thick, jet-black swords landed in his palm. These were the demonic swords that Hong Li had custom-made for him. The hilts were burning hot to the touch, and the murderous aura resonated instantly with his own Qilin True Fire, emitting an excited hum.

Zhao Cangyun swung his twin swords and stepped in front of Jiang Yi, his body engulfed in blue flames that protected him from all sides. "Today, I'll show you what a god of death really is!"

Zhao Cangyun's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. The Qilin Golden Flame erupted and coiled around his twin blades. Like an arrow released from a bow, he roared and charged out of the protective range of the crystal wall. The twin blades swirled with scorching flames and slashed down at the Demon Emperor.

"A precious pearl!"

Shen Puning was equally fired up. She grabbed the mayfly pillow Jiang Yi had lent her, and the barbarian patterns flowed like lava beneath her skin, her power surging. Engulfed in blue flames, she roared out with the precious pearl and charged towards Kun Di Fangyi, who was controlling the stone puppets.

The mayfly pillow in her hand transformed into a heavy stream of light and slammed down.

Hua Luosha nodded slightly to Jiang Yi, and the red silk tribulation transformed into countless blood threads, twisting towards the Ghost Emperor.

Bai Shengjie used the fire of alchemy to condense a giant cauldron, and with Xiao Yao holding a mortar and pestle, he rushed straight towards the Pill Emperor.

Mo Ling released the reassembled mechanical war beast, and several array plates around Yan Kongqing shone brightly. Shang Shixu controlled the mutated green ribbon bees, which flew out with dazzling lightning and buzzing...

Each person displayed their unique abilities, and under the protection and blessing of the Xuanwu Heart Flame, they fearlessly charged towards their chosen targets.

The underground palace instantly descended into unprecedented chaos, and the nine emperors were trying to grab their respective bodies.

Under the command of Emperor Kun, the stone terracotta warriors attempted to turn around and launch an attack, but a deafening roar suddenly came from the center of their formation.

Boom!

A towering stone statue of a lion, several dozen feet tall, burst forth from the ground. The statue was also engulfed in eerie blue flames, moved with lightning speed, and possessed immense strength.

With a swing of its claws, shards of rock flew everywhere, and a sweep of its giant tail cleared away an entire area. This was the combined form of Zhenshan and Duanjin.

The lion-shaped stone statue rampaged through the stone terracotta warriors, crushing the crossbow carts and battle formations wherever it passed.

Just as the Azure Emperor suppressed the backlash from the shattered Azure Wood Sword and was about to strike again to seize the initiative and capture Jiang Yi, countless giant azure bamboos burst from the ground, instantly forming a dense and dangerous bamboo forest that surrounded him.

The bamboo forest was not a physical entity, but rather composed of countless fine sword energies. Each bamboo leaf was a sharp sword intent, crisscrossing and forming a deadly sword formation that firmly trapped him at its core.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, light and shadow distorted, and a young swordsman in a blue robe, wearing a tattered straw hat and obscuring his face, slowly revealed himself.

He held the Yaoling Sword, its flames gleaming like a phoenix, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground. A cunning, bright-eyed red fire fox, with a string of pill bottles hanging around its neck, perched on his shoulder. Its tail, composed of seven flames of various colors, swayed gently, and its glass-like eyes coldly locked onto the Azure Emperor.

"Zhaoming, kill!"

Jiang Yi instructed Qingxiao to hide in the shadows and fire arrows to protect the others, while she herself stepped forward and went straight to the Qin Emperor. The Qinghui Qin hovered in front of her, and the invisible aura had already locked onto the Qin Emperor.

"My dear 'master,' today I am about to graduate from my apprenticeship. I humbly request that you instruct me in all that I have learned over the years!"

After saying this, Jiang Yi placed her zither on her lap and sat cross-legged in front of the Qin Emperor, clearly intending to challenge her to a zither duel.

Amidst the raging flames of war, the nine emperors each spread out their domains, seemingly engaged in fierce battles in the same area, yet without interfering with each other. The same was true for the Qin Emperor; the strings of her and Jiang Yi's zithers vibrated on their own, and before they had even truly clashed, the sound waves had already collided between them hundreds of times.

The Qin Emperor snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and sat down cross-legged as well. "Very well, then let's settle this with our zithers today!"
