"Illusionary Ice Style!"

Lin Xi gripped the Ice Phoenix Sword and unleashed dozens of sword beams simultaneously towards the crowd.

"spread!"

Rong Tao's heart tightened, and his magical power surged, condensing into a palm print that directly dispersed the sword light.

"He Qi, you piece of trash, you couldn't even stop me for a second."

Zhu Rong snorted coldly, and flames surged around his body, quickly burning within two meters of the sword light.

Each member of the group used their own martial arts skills to block the sword light.

Then Lin Xi used the Floating Light Moon Shadow technique again, constantly moving among the crowd.

Swish swish swish—

Sword energy surged and crisscrossed, its sharpness radiating.

For a moment, unable to catch Lin Xi, everyone was entangled in sword light and fell into a brief stalemate.

Perhaps Lin Xi's scattered sword intent wasn't enough to kill everyone, but that wasn't Lin Xi's goal either...

at the same time.

Chu Yang's consciousness arrived in a world of red and blue.

Above the sky, an ice-evolving demonic dragon covered in scales swam and lingered, its blood-red eyes fixed on him.

"Human, you forcibly stripped my soul, do you intend to completely control my body and thus wield the power of the Ice-Evolving Demon Dragon?"

"Actually, I have no interest in your power, but I have to refine you to avoid some unexpected events."

"Humans, you are too arrogant!"

"Even if you have Chi Yuan's power to help you, and you have some tricks up your sleeve, you're still only at the Core Formation Realm. You think you can suppress me with just that little bit of power?!"

"Even the Crimson Origin back then wasn't qualified!" the Ice Dragon roared in fury.

As a member of the noble dragon bloodline, and a special one at that, this is the first time I've seen someone look down on it.

Even the divine beasts and sacred beasts never had such a thought back then.

This kid really doesn't know his own limitations.

"Whether someone is arrogant or not can only be determined by trying. Sometimes, the means are more important than the level of wisdom."

As Chu Yang took a step forward, the original red and blue world began to be filled with the Crimson Yuan Dharma Image.

The power of the Dharma Form and the Ice Evolution Demonic Qi corroded each other, evenly matched.

Chu Yang clasped his hands together, and instantly an ancient golden character condensed between heaven and earth.

The font resembles the script of some ancient gods and demons; its form is indiscernible, but its meaning can be understood at a glance from afar.

Desolate, ancient, mysterious, and enigmatic.

This feeling is mysterious and elusive.

That's the character '魂' (soul).

In an instant, after the ancient script merged with the Dharma image, the world changed color.

The crimson dharma form and the red and blue aura frantically eroded each other.

Before long, the Ice Dragon clearly felt that its control over this spiritual world was gradually going off track!

"This... how is this possible? You actually suppressed my soul power?!"

"What have you done to this world?!"

"How could you possibly possess such power?!"

"Who are you?!"

"roar!!"

The Ice Dragon roared and soared wildly, then began to lose control as if its tail had been stepped on.

Chu Yang did not argue, though he was not at ease at the moment.

After all, he was reborn rather late, and some of his methods cannot yet be fully utilized...

The ruins of the Red Yuan.

On the altar.

Lin Xi fought with the team for a long time.

It has almost reached a fever pitch.

Her ghostly movements left most people completely baffled.

When facing Lin Xi, they felt like they had used all their skills but hit a cotton ball.

"Damn it! Even though we're so far apart, they managed to attack all of us at the same time!"

"Her movements are very agile, and her sword moves are sharp. Even if I am at the late stage of the King Realm, it is not possible for me to catch her in a short time."

"She's trying to stall us all by herself so that Chu Yang can refine the Crimson Essence Spirit Pearl!"

"What wishful thinking! Isn't she afraid of exhausting her magic power and becoming a sitting duck?"

"The level of her cultivation technique is quite high, and her magical power will not be exhausted in a short time."

"So what do we do now?"

"..."

The team has begun to lose its composure.

They could only watch helplessly as Chu Yang continuously absorbed the Crimson Essence Pearl.

"Stop hiding it. If this continues, the legacy will never be ours."

"Form ranks!"

Rong Tao shouted, and all the elders and disciples of the Cangyun Sect moved to their new positions, each holding a spirit sword.

Sword beams burst forth, striking each other in unison.

Clearly, this is a powerful sword formation.

Sensing something amiss, Lin Xi retreated swiftly, breaking free from the encirclement of the Cangyun Sect disciples.

"Drawing a circle around oneself and imprisoning oneself!"

next second.

The Cangyun Sect disciples unleashed their sword formation in unison, creating a barrier of sword light that trapped her on the ground!

With all his might, Lin Xi crashed into the sword energy barrier.

To her surprise, the ethereal moonlight that could briefly become indistinct was unable to penetrate the sword formation.

She felt as if she had crashed into an impenetrable wall, and was thrown back ten meters!

"This sword formation is extraordinary..."

Lin Xi looked at the sword formation with a solemn expression.

"Wind, Cloud, Sword, and Rain!"

Rong Tao swung his sword again, followed by the disciples of the Cangyun Sect.

Countless sword lights, like a rain of pear blossoms, rushed towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi channeled the power of Ice Soul to unleash the Ice Dance Spirit Sword, attempting to defend with all her might, but she was forced to retreat steadily.

Even under the combined rain of swords, Lin Xi's white robes were torn to shreds.

The body's blood and qi surged, and the breathing began to become disordered.

However, just as she was struggling to fend off the rain of swords, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind her like lightning.

He Qi appeared out of thin air behind him.

He looked at Lin Xi with a sinister gaze, then his palm, covered in black energy, struck out and hit Lin Xi's back.

boom!

Lin Xi's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

He Qi smiled, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Young lady, you are able to fight against our four major sects all by yourself. I have to admit that your talent should be among the best even in the Xuanling Sect."

"But you are still too young and don't know how treacherous people can be."

"You might die here today."

"It really hurts..."

In the distance, Lin Xi stumbled to her feet despite the pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Her eyes were fixed intently on He Qi.

This guy must have cultivated the art of the soul, and his method of concealing his movements is extraordinary.

With his cultivation at the late stage of the King Realm, he launched a surprise attack that even she couldn't detect.

It's too much for her to fight against the four major sects alone.

"Wait... this is poison?!"

Sensing the changes within his body, Lin Xi's expression changed, and he began to circulate his magical power.

Suddenly she discovered that a potent poison was relentlessly eroding her internal organs.

"Hehehe, you guessed right."

"This is the poison of my Bone-Corroding Spirit Flower. Once you come into contact with it, even if you are at the peak of the King Realm, your internal organs will be corroded by this poison, and eventually even your bones will melt away."

"You will die completely in less than half an hour."

Those around gasped in shock upon hearing this.

This poison could actually kill even a cultivator at the peak of the King-Sealing Realm?

Wouldn't they be completely helpless if they encountered them?

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman from the Four Symbols Palace frowned slightly as she looked at Lin Xi's disheveled appearance.

"He Qi, you've gone too far. We were already taking advantage of their weakness by ganging up on them, but you not only attacked us from behind, you also used deadly poison?"

"She was a true disciple of the Xuanling Sect. If it's discovered that her death was related to us, wouldn't that push the sect to the brink of destruction?"

He Qi snorted coldly. "Enough, Liu Ningmeng! Letting her leave was the wrong choice!"

"When you encounter a powerful prodigy in such a remote place, and after clearly establishing an enemy relationship, you must eliminate her completely! Otherwise, if you let her return, we will be the ones who die!"

"If that's the case, it's better to just cut ties completely."

"Stop being so womanly, or I won't hesitate to get rid of you too!"

"......."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Although He Qi's words were harsh, that was the truth.
