LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 781
轰隆！
With a tremendous crash, Empress Fuyao was sent flying back hundreds of meters, her sleeves shredded, revealing arms as pale as lotus roots, with a deep scarlet trail of blood slowly trickling down.
This was the power of the number one Sword Saint of Nine Nether!
The Yuzhu Clan Leader, watching closely, felt a sense of relief; it seemed he had indeed found the right person!
The void rippled, revealing Luo Xing’s figure holding a sword.
Beneath the brim of his hat was a face as cold and unfeeling as ice, his eyes sharp like a falcon, fixated on Empress Fuyao as if she were mere prey.
“To be able to take my sword head-on and survive is already a great honor for you.”
At these words, the expression on Empress Fuyao’s face froze, a flicker of intense wariness flashing in her eyes.
She had to admit, he was extremely dangerous!
“Bring it on!”
With a fierce shout.
Empress Fuyao unleashed her body technique, charging aggressively at Luo Xing.
At this point, she had no retreat; she could only strike first to gain the upper hand!
“Overestimating yourself.”
Luo Xing sneered, his figure flickering like a ghost, his sword technique shifting unpredictably, encompassing all forms.
In an instant, it was like a dark flower blooming in the depths of hell, its petals reflecting the terrifying scenes of the vast world’s rise and fall.
“What is this…?”
Empress Fuyao suddenly felt a chill wash over her, her nerves tensed to the limit.
Boom!
The sky seemed ready to collapse, night and day swirling chaotically.
In the blink of an eye, blood splattered from her shoulder, abdomen, leg, and arm, each bursting forth with crimson foam.
“Destruction Finger!” Gritting her teeth, she seized the opportunity to close in, trying to maximize the damage.
The devastating fingertip of energy pierced through the cosmos, as if intent on annihilating all life.
“Mmm…”
Luo Xing felt it too, being forcefully knocked back, blood spilling from his wrist.
But it seemed Empress Fuyao was the one more seriously injured!
Looking at the shocking wound on her arm, Luo Xing’s aged face twisted in displeasure, clearly not expecting the prey to bite back.
Empress Fuyao’s expression darkened; she secretly used her martial arts techniques to staunch the bleeding, only to find that any wounds caused by his blade would be extraordinarily difficult to heal, implying her upcoming situation would worsen.
“Luo Xing, you truly are the number one Sword Saint of Nine Nether, achieving what even I find difficult,” the Yuzhu Clan Leader said, his eyes gleaming.
After fighting with Empress Fuyao for so long, causing little harm, Luo Xing struck a blow and fast—one that even he couldn’t dispute.
“Luo Xing, the situation is urgent; let’s work together to slay her!”
Saying this, the Yuzhu Clan Leader brandished a massive serpent spear, gathering overwhelming infernal power at its tip, ripping through the void and striking like lightning at the target.
Luo Xing frowned, somewhat displeased.
He wanted to slay Empress Fuyao on his own, but after his clash, he understood she was not to be underestimated. Teaming up with the Yuzhu Clan Leader would certainly make taking her down much easier.
Weighing the pros and cons, Luo Xing decided to collaborate with the Yuzhu Clan Leader!
Boom, bang!
The void surrounding Empress Fuyao began to shatter, as two incredible auras surged toward her, intent on slaughtering her right then and there.
Unwilling to sit by and die, she gritted her teeth and faced them head-on.
Suddenly, blood rained from the sky, droplets of rich, sacred blood plummeting like mountains, creating deep craters upon impact with the ground.
Empress Fuyao was drenched in blood, her phoenix eyes filled with resolve and unwillingness.
Facing two opponents was simply too much for her.
“If I die, what will happen to the Kunlun Realm? No one in the Celestial Court can stand against them…”
“Wait, there’s still Ye Junlin!”
A thought flashed through her mind, and a surge of hope rose within her.
If it’s that man, it might just be possible!
The problem was…
At this rate, the Kunlun Realm would fall. Even if he came out later, would it even matter?
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Empress Fuyao’s gaze dimmed, and her lips turned bitter, as if she could already see the impending doom of the Kunlun Realm.
Boom!
With a tremendous sound, Empress Fuyao crashed down onto a Holy Mountain, the sheer force causing the mountain to collapse, rocks rolling and smoke billowing.
“Heh heh,”
Seeing the half-kneeling woman below, hair disheveled, Luo Xing and the Yuzhu Clan Leader shared a cold smirk.
“Today is your death day!”
Luo Xing stepped forward, his robes billowing without wind, raising his sword to strike.
Swish~
Like a vast starry river falling from the sky, it seemed poised to slice the world in two.
With this strike, he left Empress Fuyao no escape.
Crown Prince Luo Yan watched with an expression he couldn’t quite process.
He had always respected the strong, and Empress Fuyao had made quite an impression on him. Perhaps, even after billions of years, he would still remember this day, when a human woman briefly captivated him.
At that crucial moment…
Swish! A golden hand reached out from the void, shattering the colossal rays of sword light!
“What?!”
This sudden change left everyone dumbfounded.
“Could it be him…” Empress Fuyao seemed to recall something, turning her head abruptly as her phoenix eyes reflected the sight of a tall figure with silver hair.
In the sunset, a man in white approached step by step, the evening glow casting a layer of divine radiance upon him, giving him an otherworldly aura.
With sword-like brows and a handsome face, his golden eyes shone like a deity, while his long white hair danced in the wind.
He appeared as if the world fell silent in his presence!
“Who is this?” Luo Xing, who did not recognize Ye Junlin, asked, his face filled with skepticism.
To be able to shatter his sword move in one fell swoop, what kind of power was this?
“That’s Ye Tian Emperor!” The Yuzhu Clan Leader recognized the silver-haired youth from the images of the light curtain—he was the Celestial Court’s master and the heart’s desire of Nine Nether!
“Ye Dao Friend, you’ve finally emerged!” Empress Fuyao murmured.
For some reason, her heart felt unusually calm upon his arrival, as if all difficulties would be resolved.
“Fuyao Dao Friend, it’s been a while.”
Ye Junlin appeared in mid-air, his tone serene. “I understand what’s happening now; just leave everything to me from here on.”
“Mm.”
Empress Fuyao nodded, surprisingly sitting cross-legged to focus on healing her injuries, completely ignoring the two formidable foes around her.
It seemed the moment Ye Junlin appeared, the outcome of this battle was already decided.
It was a natural trust, a recognition of absolute strength!
Luo Xing’s face darkened like water, and he coldly remarked, “Do you really think you’re out of danger?”
Empress Fuyao ignored him, continuing to tend to her wounds.
“Seeking death!”
Having been ignored, Luo Xing was thoroughly enraged, lunging at Empress Fuyao with his sword held high.
The dark sword radiance soared to the heavens, carrying an aura of eternal invincibility.
But Ye Junlin swiftly intervened, delivering a punch imbued with overwhelming imperial might, shaking the Kunlun Realm.
Boom!
The sword radiance was shattered with incredible force.
Luo Xing screamed, blood gushing from his arm, revealing bits of gruesome white bone; the impact sent him flying backward, smashing through several Holy Mountains, with thick smoke rising.
“What?!”
Crown Prince Luo Yan was left astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This was the number one Sword Saint of Nine Nether!
And he had been defeated with a single punch!
What was hardest for him to accept was the identity of the one who had done this—Ye Junlin, whom he had always regarded as a rival!
Previously, Luo Yan had thought that once he ascended to the Saint Ancestor Realm, he would certainly have the power to suppress Ye Junlin, seeking revenge for his sister.
But what was the reality?
This very man could take down the Nine Nether Sword Saint with one punch. Did he possess such ability?
The answer was undoubtedly no!
Luo Yan realized that based on his current strength, he was still far from the ranks of the strongest. There was a long way to go before he could close that gap.
Now, witnessing the terrifying power displayed by Ye Junlin,
After the shock, an immense feeling of defeat washed over Luo Yan, instantly quenching his desire to compete.
This man was invincible!
The Yuzhu Clan Leader looked shocked, his mouth agape.
He had considered that Ye Junlin might be strong, but never thought he would be this strong!
Boom!
With a deafening roar.
“You bastard…”
Luo Xing shot into the sky, his arm swiftly healing with the help of the demonic energy, his eyes filled with fierce rage as he glared at Ye Junlin.
He couldn’t believe such a powerful human native could exist in the world!
“Still not dead?”
“Well then, you won’t be so lucky next.”
Ye Junlin’s expression remained calm.
As he spoke, a vast golden halo appeared behind him, shining with brilliant, indestructible light, as if set to illuminate the river of time and reflect the past and present!
