After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

however--

In their hasty engagement, before they could even settle into their formation and before their sword array could be fully formed, they were blasted to pieces by a combined attack from several peak masters of the Hehuan Sect!

Amidst screams, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were sent flying backward, their blood splattering across the sky!

The Yinshan Palace and the Heavenly Demon Sect reacted even slower.

These two families were originally coerced by the Tianxing Alliance and harbored resentment. Now that they were ambushed, they were thrown into complete chaos.

Some disciples turned and ran, while others, in their panic, bumped into each other, just like headless flies.

At this moment, the Red Lotus False Infant's cultivation level exploded in full!

She made a hand seal with her jade-like fingers, parted her red lips slightly, and a clear phoenix cry resounded through the night sky!

"Hey——!"

A phantom of a phoenix, its entire body engulfed in crimson flames, materialized behind her, its wingspan spanning a full ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

The heatwave was so intense that even the surrounding air was distorted by the scorching heat!

The fire phoenix opened its giant beak, let out a deafening cry, and swooped down towards the densest part of the enemy's ranks!

boom!

Flames exploded, like a volcanic eruption! The cultivators within a radius of several dozen feet didn't even have time to scream.

It was instantly reduced to ashes by that terrifying heat, leaving not even a trace of bone!

Lin Fengmian was not to be outdone.

He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy circulating wildly according to the path of the "Starfall Sword Manual," and then he let out a low shout:

"One sword transforms into three pure beings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly split into three! Three identical figures appeared in mid-air at the same time, each exuding an incomparably sharp sword intent!

Three figures simultaneously raised their hands, pointing their fingers like swords downwards!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The sword energy poured down like a torrential downpour!

Each sword aura contained pure sword intent, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, covering the area where the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect and Yinshan Palace were located!

Those cultivators who had originally intended to put up a stubborn resistance were instantly suppressed by the sword energy and unable to lift their heads.

He could only desperately activate his protective spiritual light to hold on, and had no free hand to fight back!

"You scoundrels! You've gone too far!"

The elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were furious when they saw their disciples being suppressed in such a state!

He roared and slammed his hand on the storage bag! A beam of black light shot into the sky!

"Heavenly Demon Banner! Raise it!"

The small banner swelled in the wind and transformed in the blink of an eye into a giant banner several meters high, its surface as black as ink, covered with countless ferocious demonic patterns.

Black mist billowed from all sides, and surging demonic energy poured out like a tide, spreading in all directions!

Wherever the black mist passed, the grass and trees withered, the land turned black, and even the air was filled with a nauseating stench!

The elders of Yinshan Palace were not to be outdone, and roared in unison:

"The Tower of Bones! Appear!"

A small, deathly white tower made of countless tiny skulls flew from his palm, instantly transforming into a gigantic tower of bones over ten feet tall.

It slammed down hard on the heads of the Hehuan Sect members!

Countless skeletons on the tower had their mouths open, emitting piercing and sharp screechs, like a group of wronged souls wailing, making people tremble with fear!

The two treasures of the sect unleashed their power simultaneously, instantly stabilizing the situation and even creating a faint hint of a counterattack!

At this critical moment—

Young master is in danger!

A black figure descended from the sky!

Without the slightest hesitation, the black-clad figure suddenly raised his hand—

A large, jet-black sword, its blade covered in dark red runes, suddenly appeared in his hand!

With a muffled hum, an incomparably domineering black sword energy shot out from the blade, transforming into a huge arc-shaped blade beam that tore through the sky!

The blade's light roared through the air like a dragon's cry, instantly transforming into a gigantic, jet-black dragon with crimson eyes and a coiled body.

With a deafening roar, it slammed into the Heavenly Demon Banner and the White Bone Tower!

boom--!

The black dragon collided head-on with the two magical treasures! The violent shockwave swept outwards, sending all the cultivators within a hundred feet away!

Upon seeing this, Lin Fengmian was overjoyed—this mysterious man in black had come to help him again!

He dared not delay and quickly formed hand seals to mobilize the remaining power of the Heavenly Tribulation within his body that he had used during his tribulation!

In an instant, lightning crackled around him, and a purple-gold arc of electricity condensed in his palm, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction!

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

Elder Luo of the Heavenly Sword Sect sensed a deadly danger from the lightning in his hand. His pupils shrank and the hairs on his body stood on end!

Damn it! What's that kid up to now!

Recalling the other party's various bizarre tactics, Elder Luo felt a surge of alarm in his heart, and he no longer cared about saving face.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence and slammed it hard onto the flying sword in front of him!

"You scoundrel! Prepare to die!"

Nourished by the essence of blood, the flying sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.

In an instant, it transformed into a blinding streak of light, shooting towards Lin Fengmian at an illogical speed!

The sword light was so fast that it tore a visible white streak through the air!

however--

The flying sword had only flown halfway when a crimson wall of fire suddenly rose from the ground!

The flames roared and the heatwave rolled. The wall of fire was three feet thick, like a burning city wall, blocking the path of the flying sword!

"clang--!"

The flying sword slammed into the wall of fire, producing a deafening clang of metal clashing! Sparks flew everywhere, but it could not advance an inch further!

Red Lotus Immortal formed hand seals, flames swirling around her, her long hair whipping wildly in the heat, and she sternly rebuked:

"With me here, you won't be able to harm my nephew!"

Elder Luo's face turned ashen as he desperately urged his flying sword to break through the wall of fire, only to discover that the wall of fire appeared to be merely defensive.

In reality, it contained a strange, heavy pressure, as if the entire volcano was suppressing his flying sword!

The two then became entangled.

But the Red Lotus of today is not what it used to be.

After receiving help from Lin Fengmian's pure Yang essence, she not only overcame the bottleneck that had troubled her for many years,

His cultivation level steadily reached the mid-stage of the False Infant Realm, and he even comprehended a fire-type divine ability.

At this moment, she exerted all her strength, and each flame contained a domineering will to burn everything.

Elder Luo grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. His natal flying sword's spiritual light was rapidly dimming under the scorching flames of his opponent!

Even tiny cracks appeared on the sword!

"What...what kind of fire is this?!"

He was horrified, but had no time to think about it; he could only struggle to hold on.

And on the other side-

As a bolt of purple-gold lightning condensed in Lin Fengmian's palm, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Lin Fengmian's mind.

He glanced down at the leaping lightning in his hand, and then felt the Nine Yang Divine Seal within his body that had not yet completely dissipated. A crazy smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"Hiss... What if we added the Nine Yang Divine Seal?"

Just do it!

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his left hand formed a hand seal, from which a golden sun slowly condensed.

The sun was not large, but it exuded an aura of extreme yang and strength, which was the prototype of the Nine Yang Divine Seal!
