Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 18 Taibai Splitting Light Sword

Lu Min entered the fairy abode in the cliff face, quickly found the path downwards, and plunged straight down without hesitation.

Guan Minghui was somewhat helpless about his arrival. He really didn't want to face the Blissful Immortal so soon, as the difference in strength between the two was too great.

If the Blissful Immortal were to make a move, he would be nothing more than a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of the butcher.

He activated the Profound Yin Soul Refining Array ahead of schedule, and the two divine banners formed a portal at the cave entrance.

On the banner, the main deity, a wooden demon and a blowpipe, appeared, spraying out a large amount of black evil silk, denser than a spider web, filled with viscous black evil, completely sealing the entrance to the cave.

When Lu Min arrived at the cave entrance, she saw black mist filling the air, black lines forming a net, and a chilling aura emanating from it. She couldn't help but gasp, "What a powerful demon!"

He knew more than Cui Haike and Yang Li, knowing that the Long-Browed Immortal had once slain a demon here and sealed it inside the mountain.

However, he was not as well-connected or well-informed as Cui Haike, and knew very little about Gu Chen's prowess.

He knew the evil spirits here were powerful, but he didn't know just how powerful.

He figured that he was a disciple of the Blissful Immortal, practicing the orthodox Xuanmen sect, and had a flying sword magic weapon passed down from his master. Moreover, his opponent had already been killed by the Long-Browed Immortal. Even if the opponent was resurrected as a demon corpse, it was still too early for him to appear as prophesied, so he figured he wouldn't amount to much.

In Lu Min's heart, she was capable of completely eliminating this evil spirit, but she was reluctant to easily break the prophecy of the Long-Browed Immortal, as it was to give face to the Emei Sect.

Therefore, he shouted, "Demon, how dare you show off and act fiercely in front of me!" and released his flying sword.

His flying sword was personally taught by Li Jingxu and is called the Taibai Dividing Light Sword. It was originally intended to be passed on to his grandson Shisheng.

Shi Sheng is one of the future Seven Dwarfs of Emei. His physical attributes are much stronger than his and Lu Rongbo's. In comparison, Li Jingxu values ​​Shi Sheng more, and the flying sword and magic weapon he passed on to him were all prepared for Shi Sheng.

The sword, once released, transformed into a lightning-fast, bright white beam, piercing straight into the dense web of black silk threads. Its light burst forth, illuminating the cave as bright as day, and the layers upon layers of black silk threads snapped inch by inch, all shredded by the sword's edge!
Two more divine banners blocked the way from within the black silk, while the Wood Demon and the Spike breathed out black evil spirits and roared.

Just as Lu Min was about to make a move, Guan Minghui spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Lu, please stop. Do not go any further. This is not a place for you."

Lu Min was somewhat surprised, then raised an eyebrow and sneered, "So you've been resurrected? You demonic corpse! You were killed and suppressed here by the Long-Browed Immortal years ago, yet you still dare to cause trouble!"

Guan Minghui said, "I am cultivating here, why do you dare to intrude, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Min released her flying sword to slash at the two Xuan Yin banners at the door, shouting, "I ask you, are Ling Xuzi and his disciples from Juping Island in the South China Sea here? My divination shows they are on the verge of death, but have they already fallen victim to your poisonous hand?"

Guan Minghui patiently told him, "They came to my door on their own initiative, looking for trouble. We have no grudge against each other, yet they want to kill me. I used magic to keep them in the cave, and I will release them when I leave after I have completed my cultivation."

"You still think you can leave here after achieving perfect merit?" Lu Min scoffed. "You fiend, you're still indulging in wishful thinking! If it weren't for the prophecy of the Long-Browed Immortal that you would be born a hundred years later and die at the hands of someone who came after you, I would have annihilated you today, body and soul!"

Guan Minghui really didn't want to confront Lu Min, mainly because he was afraid of Li Jingxu.

Even if he regained the strength he had during Gu Chen's most prosperous period, he still didn't want to provoke Li Jingxu again.

So be it. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If you're not strong enough, you have to be flexible and adaptable...

He summoned Cui Haike and Yang Li, instructing them to go to the cave entrance and stand inside the array gate: "Fellow Daoist Lu, out of respect for my master, I am unwilling to engage in warfare with you. Let Ling Xuzi and his disciples leave with you. Since the Long-Browed Immortal had already foreseen my future fate, let me fulfill the prophecy a hundred years from now. Please leave, and from now on, let our two families keep to themselves."

Lu Min was much stronger than Cui Haike. His Taibai Dividing Light Sword was fearless against evil creatures, and he shattered the Wood Demon and the Whirlwind several times in succession. He then raised his hand and unleashed a series of Taiyi Divine Thunder.

The Taiyi Divine Thunder is a golden bolt of lightning, most capable of destroying evil spirits. Streaks of golden snakes danced wildly, and even the fourth-stage Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner couldn't withstand it; the black Fiends it spewed out were all blasted apart, revealing the banner's true form.

Lu Min shouted loudly, unleashing both his immortal sword and divine lightning to destroy the banners. As the sword light passed, both banners were cut in half at the waist.

A sharp, tearing sound rang out.

Then the divine lightning struck, but fortunately Guan Minghui acted quickly and managed to retrieve the four broken banner pieces in time.

With the two banners gone, the gates were wide open.

Lu Min saw Cui Haike and Yang Li standing opposite her.

"Fellow Daoist Lu!" Cui Haike was quite grateful; he hadn't expected Lu Min to come and save him.

Guan Minghui's idea was for Lu Min to take Cui Haike and his apprentice away, while he would continue cultivating here and not have to deal with anyone else afterward.

Cui Haike was overjoyed to be able to lead his apprentice away from the sea of ​​suffering, and he also wanted to leave with Lu Min as soon as possible.

Lu Min, however, became even more enthusiastic: "This demonic corpse resurrected so early, and it can already trap you, fellow Daoist. What would happen if it were allowed to cultivate for another hundred or two hundred years? Since we're already here today, I'll go and chop it into pieces first, then blast it with Taiyi Divine Thunder to break its cultivation and prevent it from causing trouble and harming people again!"

Cui Haike hurriedly tried to stop him, but Lu Min wouldn't listen to him: "Fellow Daoist, are you afraid of this demon? You step aside and watch me cast my spell!"

He barged straight into the cave!
Seeing that he was unwilling to give up, Guan Minghui was both anxious and angry. He was originally sitting on the stone bed, but now he jumped up and said, "You surnamed Lu, don't push your luck!"

Upon seeing him, Lu Min, without saying a word, unleashed the Taibai Dividing Light Sword, transforming it into lightning, and thrust it towards his chest.

Guan Minghui unfurled the Fiery Cloud Chain, drawing circles that intertwined with the sword light.

The sword chains clashed, exploding into countless silver sparks, and the flames spewing from the chains transformed into a boundless rain of fire, illuminating the entire cave.

Guan Minghui knew that the Taibai Dividing Light Sword was also a top-tier flying sword in the Shushan world, and thought that it would be good if he could use Lu Min's hand to cut the chain.

Unfortunately, the Fire Cloud Chain was of excellent quality and held its own against the Taibai Dividing Light Sword.

Lu Min then unleashed the Taiyi Divine Thunder, which Guan Minghui could not withstand. He used his profound skills to dodge left and right.

Golden light and lightning exploded wildly throughout the cave, booming and crackling as they struck the stone walls and the ground, sending rubble flying and dust scattering everywhere.

Guan Minghui made a final effort: "Fellow Daoist Lu, we have no grudges against each other. If you leave now, we can pretend that nothing happened."

Lu Min unleashed a torrent of true energy, causing the sword light to intensify and the divine lightning to become more concentrated. Filled with righteous indignation, he roared, "I have cultivated with my master for two hundred years, slaying countless demons and monsters with my sword. If it weren't for the prophecy of the Long-Browed Immortal..."
"I've already come to kill you, to annihilate you body and soul! Don't even think of living again. Today I will destroy your physical body and shatter your three souls and seven spirits, so that you won't even be able to become a demon corpse, and you won't be able to resurrect for at least fifty years!"

Guan Minghui was completely enraged: "Did I rape your daughter? Or your wife? Why the hell are you trying to mess with me like this? Fine, fine, let's see if you kill me or I kill you today! You son of a bitch!"

After he finished speaking, he summoned two spare Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banners. With a loud shout, three sets of twenty-seven divine banners appeared simultaneously, each banner wrapped in a large mass of black energy that trapped Lu Min inside.

Lu Min was fearless and summoned the protective magic treasure, the Cleansing Bell, bestowed upon him by the Blissful Immortal, to shield himself and establish an invincible position. Then, he unleashed a series of Taiyi Divine Thunders to bombard the approaching Xuan Yin Banner!
