Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

It turned out to be a Taixu Realm expert with a lightning spiritual root.

I've never heard of that before. Could it be that some ancestor has come out of seclusion?

Unlike the other four who instantly tensed up, Xie Weixing neither retreated nor advanced, standing at the pivotal position in the five-person formation, his gaze rapidly sweeping across the battlefield terrain, the trajectory of the opponent's lightning power, and the spiritual power status of his companions.

He quickly came to a conclusion.

will not die.

As long as we can hold on until either the raging storm or the gentle breeze arrives.

This person was left with nothing but being crushed to dust.

"A dignified expert of the Tai Xu Realm!" Shen Chunri gritted her teeth, "how dare you bully five children like us! Which sect's old hag is this, looking down on our Feng Hua Sect? You shameless woman! Just wait for Master and Senior Uncle to arrive, and we'll beat you to a pulp!"

Yu Xintang pulled her back, her face cold and stern, protecting her behind her.

"Is that so?" The woman's lips were flat, her voice cold and deep, devoid of emotion. "So what if I'm bullying you?"

Before she finished speaking, her five fingers suddenly clenched into a fist!

The entire body of water in Coldheart Lake rose into the air, transforming into countless waves, accompanied by thunderous roars and overwhelming pressure, almost crushing the five people completely.

"boom--!"

The Phoenix Fire burst forth instantly, imbued with the power of fire.

Nie Zhao shouted, "Run—!!"

The killing intent of the Taixu Realm cultivators is something that even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators cannot withstand!

Even if it means dying together with this person, she must buy time for her junior brothers and sisters to survive.

"Trying to leave?" the woman scoffed, raising her hand to strike. "Dream on!"

The waters of Cold Heart Lake suddenly surged, each wave filled with the power of lightning, and spiritual energy surged wildly, instantly sealing off the entire world around the five people and cutting off all their escape routes.

If we can't leave, what else can we do?

"Tan Suiting!" Xie Weixing roared, a communication talisman instantly igniting in his palm. "Sever her lightning domain!"

Water can conduct electricity, so she shouldn't have that advantage.

The people beside them exchanged glances, and without thinking, they all used their communication talismans.

"Sumeru Summoning!" Tan Suiting flipped his wrist, and layers of folded ripples of void spread around his body.

Countless golden spatial rifts crisscrossed around the five people, weaving a dense spatial barrier that blocked and crushed the spreading purple-gold lightning.

It forcefully severed the wide-range coverage of the woman's lightning power, breaking through the opponent's initial suppression.

Xie Weixing gritted his teeth: "Come on! I'll fight you!"

He raised his hand and conjured extremely cold ice.

"Azure snow and cold moon!"

The lake water froze instantly, making it impossible for the woman to use lightning.

Even if I die today, I will tear off a piece of her flesh!

The mysterious woman raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting the young man to be so spirited.

For someone her age, her precise on-the-spot response was quite surprising.

"Fine," she said in a low voice, "not a coward."

Then I'll hit you first!

The woman raised her hand and clenched it, and thousands of divine lightning bolts in the void suddenly gathered, condensing into a purple-gold lightning spear several meters long. The spear tip crackled with lightning, tearing through the air, and pierced straight at Xie Weixing, who was at the very core of the formation.

"Sky-Splitting Shatter!" Without hesitation, Tan Suiting stood in front of him, picked up the Xuan Sword, and, imbued with the violent power of lightning, kicked out with a back kick.

All those with lightning-based spiritual roots must bow down to the dragon race. Even if they are both top-grade spiritual roots, the purity of the other party's spiritual roots can never match the purest bloodline of the East Sea Taixu Dragon Clan.

Tan Suiting's brows and eyes were cold and sharp, and his heterochromatic eyes, which were like carved ice and jade, revealed a ruthless side.

"Only after stepping over my corpse will you be qualified to harm him," he said coldly, enunciating each word clearly.

My senior brother is such a strong-willed person; he risked losing all his spiritual power to save him from the brink of death.

So today, before he dies and his soul dissipates, there is absolutely no way anyone can touch Xie Weixing even a little bit.

Xie Weixing stared blankly for a moment at the tall, straight back with hair sweeping across the shoulders.

"The Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan?" the woman chuckled. "The legendary dual-grade spiritual roots of lightning and space, the number one genius in the cultivation world?"

She gave a disdainful smile, her words laced with blatant threat: "Today I'll leave your life here, let me see what's so special about you!"

After she finished speaking, her spiritual power surged instantly, forming a huge circle around her, and dense spiritual patterns began to appear.

Tan Suiting snorted coldly, raised his sword and held it horizontally in front of him without fear: "If you want my life, come and take it if you dare!"

Suddenly, a hand pressed on his shoulder and pulled him back sharply. Dark hair and fluttering red ribbons intertwined and neatly blocked his way.

"You old hag," Xie Weixing said sarcastically, enunciating each word clearly, "if my Dragon Prince doesn't die today, you fucking die!"

He rarely spoke so sternly, and everyone was taken aback.

"Senior Sister!" Xie Weixing intertwined her fingers, slamming down the Holy Seal with her palm, and coldly commanded, "Charge head-on! Use Phoenix Fire to strike her lightning patterns!"

They all used speech-transmitting talismans, so the commands could not be heard by anyone other than the five people in question; they could only be vaguely identified by lip movements.

The mysterious woman above only needed to see his lips move before a phoenix maiden dressed in fiery red suddenly appeared from her sword.

Nie Zhao was engulfed in blazing phoenix flames, the flames pure and intense: "Crimson Phoenix Shatters the Sky—"

They all possess top-grade spiritual roots, not to mention that she is a phoenix maiden of this lineage, the best of the best, unafraid of the might of thunder.

"The moon shines through broken water!"

The longsword rang out with a phoenix cry, its light enveloping the flames, surging and transforming into a soaring phoenix shadow that hurtled towards the sky.

"Bang--!"

The phoenix fire scorched the divine lightning patterns wildly, and the crackling and exploding sounds of lightning were incessant.

"That's quite a bit of strength," the woman chuckled. "Again!"

Nie Zhao had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm and possessed the Phoenix Bloodline, yet he couldn't harm her in the slightest despite going all out. This person's abilities were unfathomable and he was truly formidable.

The woman waved her sleeves again, and countless tiny lightning blades appeared out of thin air, densely covering the entire area like a sudden rainstorm. The angles were tricky, blocking all the five people's escape routes, making it a large-scale, deadly offensive.

Xie Weixing's gaze sharpened, instantly spotting the gaps in the lightning blades: "Yu Xintang! Boost your wind domain speed, stack three layers of Wind Control Talismans and Shadow Concealment Talismans, clear away the nearby lightning fragments!"

A figure in cyan rose up like a gust of wind.

Yu Xintang moved with incredible speed and ferocity. A fierce wind suddenly swept around her, and as her hands moved swiftly, spiritual light flashed, and ten pale blue talismans instantly took shape.

"Little snake," Xie Weixing said, his gaze sharp, "support Yu Xintang from the flank and see if we can find an opportunity to poison this bullying bastard."

Shen Chunri nodded resentfully.

Her palm was covered in emerald green snake venom, with some golden veins intertwined within.

"Withered and flourishing, a thousand snakes coiling in silk." Shen Chunri enunciated each word clearly as she forcefully poured snake venom onto Yu Xintang's talisman, roaring angrily, "I'll poison you to death, you stinking woman!"

"A thousand winds, ten thousand blades of mist," Yu Xintang instantly unleashed wind blades, swiftly advancing dozens of wind-controlling talismans tainted with deadly poison. Her eyes sharpened, "Shatter Jade!"
