Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 305 Escape!

The Great Dao roared, the void trembled, and streaks of purple lightning flashed in mid-air.

Behind Shi Qingyun, the chaotic Dharma image stood tall and firm, its single hand surging forth with overwhelming power, and the giant sword in its hand swept across the sky, slashing heavily towards the Lord of the Underworld.

The enormous sword light instantly occupied this space, as if it were about to cleave the world in two.

ka ka ka-

But before that terrifying strike, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter the sky, could land on the Lord of the Underworld, a giant hand emanating an aura of the netherworld stretched out from the void.

Grasping firmly the powerful blow, the Lord of the Underworld shook his arm, and the huge sword light in front of him was crushed.

Shi Qingyun's expression became even more serious, not expecting that his attack would be firmly blocked by the Lord of the Underworld's single hand.

Without a second thought, he stepped forward, moving with the yin and yang principles, and charged straight at the Lord of the Underworld.

The collision of the two immediately generated terrifying shockwaves, and Shi Qingyun's expression turned solemn.

However, this is only the beginning; the attack is not over yet.

Behind him, Old Tao unleashed a punch, the power of the Great Dao carrying it instantly transporting the three of them to the depths of the starry sky.

Below, the Milky Way shone brightly, and the three of them kept colliding, creating dazzling bursts of light.

Old Tao unleashed the full power of his Unyielding Formation without any concealment; every punch and kick possessed earth-shattering might, causing the laws of heaven and earth to surge continuously.

Behind Shi Qingyun, the chaotic Dharma image controlled heaven and earth, and his sword pierced the sky. Together with Lao Tao, they besieged the Underworld Lord. The scattered aftershocks immediately caused the entire starry river to tremble.

However, even when the two joined forces, they were still a step behind the Underworld Lord, a peak cultivator at the Escape One level who was just one step away from entering the Supreme Realm.

Despite the long and fierce battle, the Lord of the Underworld showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, he became more and more excited as the battle progressed, and Shi Qingyun and the other man were naturally not willing to fall behind.

"Sword Prison! Strangulation!"

Behind Shi Qingyun stood 108,000 swords, stained with bright red blood, exuding a sharp killing intent. The moment they appeared, they caused the void to collapse.

With a flick of his finger, longswords behind him began to roam at lightning speed, like fish returning to the sea, their killing intent surging across the starry sky.

From all directions around the Lord of the Underworld, countless giant swords shrouded in chaotic light appeared, trapping him firmly in the center.

Runes were engraved on the sword, and as divine light flashed, profound powers surged forth, causing the originally surging Great Dao to fall silent.

Under the overwhelming force of the seal, the shimmering starry sky was momentarily stilled.

"Is this the sealing technique of humanity, the supernatural power that severs human divine strength?"

"There's definitely something to it!"

The Lord of the Underworld carefully felt the sealing power suppressing his body, heard the whistling sound of sword light cutting through the air, and felt that the laws of the Great Dao within his body had been weakened.

However, there was no trace of panic on his face. As his body trembled, streams of death energy surged out from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, a thick mist, woven from the aura of death, transformed around him.

It exuded an indescribable aura of danger, and the 108,000 swords that roared out were quickly corroded away as soon as they approached.

The fist imprint that Lao Tao left as he soared through the air was also quickly corroded away, just like the sword light.

Upon seeing this, Shi Qingyun frowned. However, before he could come up with a solution, the black mist appeared like a ghost on a giant sword soaring into the sky.

Shooting out from the black mist, a black sail filled with deathly aura landed heavily on the giant sword.

click -

In an instant, the black sail swiftly passed through the longsword surging with sealing intent, and the tide of swords that was constantly shuttling through the starry river was also momentarily halted and shattered on the spot.

The massive aftershocks of the explosion instantly threw the two of them away.

Under this massive explosion, the Milky Way collapsed instantly, and stars, trailing long tails, tore through the void and hurtled towards the other side of the starry sky.

Shi Qingyun and the other person suddenly looked up and saw the Lord of the Underworld slowly stepping out from the center of the explosion.

Holding a black sail, black mist swirled beneath his feet, his robes fluttered in the wind, and when he looked at the two, a hint of killing intent flickered in his eyes.

Sensing the killing intent emanating from the Lord of the Underworld, the two exchanged a glance and charged forward again, no longer holding back in the slightest.

"A fist that shakes the universe!"

"Yin Yang Life and Death Diagram!"

The two unleashed various Taoist magic and supernatural powers, reflecting countless images in the Life and Death Diagram, capturing spirits and souls, while Old Tao's fist cleaved the sky.

In just one round trip, the Lord of the Underworld was sent flying backward uncontrollably, and the black aura surrounding him thinned out a bit.

As Shi Qingyun sensed the relationship between the black mist and the Lord of the Underworld, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

As divine power surged, a towering tree suddenly appeared behind him, growing rapidly with rustling leaves.

With the appearance of the towering tree, the previously swaying Milky Way immediately stabilized.

The Lord of the Underworld also felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the giant tree suddenly emerge. In the next instant, a thick branch pierced through the void and plunged heavily into the black mist.

click -

The protective barrier formed in front of the Lord of the Underworld was immediately broken, and the power of the world surged out from the tree trunk, immediately absorbing the dense death energy.

Just as the Lord of the Underworld was about to go and stop them, he was held back by Old Tao.

With their tacit cooperation, one fought while the other weakened the enemy, and the originally stalemate gradually tilted in their favor.

Meanwhile, outside, Xuan Ying and the others arrived at the towering iron pillar, gazing at the pillar engraved with the mysteries of death.

He was startled. As soon as he got close to the physical body, it was aging rapidly, and even his primordial spirit began to become confused.

"Destroy it quickly, or we'll all be drained dry!"

"Attack together!"

After Xuan Ying directed the cultivators who had come with him to shout, he immediately formed a hand seal and a majestic and ferocious beast appeared behind him.

Under his control, it slammed heavily into the iron pillar.

Boom——

A deafening roar echoed across the land, and the iron pillar, as steady as a pillar that stabilizes the sea, gradually began to sway under the continuous attacks of Taoist magic.

Just as the Lord of the Underworld was about to block Shi Qingyun's terrifying sword strike, his body suddenly froze, and cracks instantly appeared and then disappeared.

But in that brief pause, the sword struck him with a deafening crash, its blade flashing as it slashed at his body.

laugh--

Black blood splattered and scattered across the boundless starry river, the sword's momentum undiminished, shooting towards the Netherworld Lord's neck.

click -

The Lord of the Underworld staggered backward, golden light flashing on his five fingers as he shattered the incoming sword light.

He touched the bloodstains on his cheek, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes. "You're asking for death!"

"Netherworld Blood Curse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yin energy and death energy around the Lord of the Underworld surged violently, quickly weaving together in mid-air to form a strange curse seal that flickered with red light.

With a flick of his finger, the cursed seal shot towards the two of them, and the void collapsed instantly where the blood curse passed.

Old Tao unleashed a powerful punch, slamming it down onto the blood curse and shattering it instantly. However, before he could even relax, he was caught off guard.

The shattered curse seal immediately healed itself back together, and its speed instantly skyrocketed.

boom--

After a loud bang, it quickly struck Old Tao's forehead, sending his body flying backward instantly.

"Old Tao!"

Just as Shi Qingyun was about to go over to help, he saw the blood curse appear before him in an instant, emanating an evil and bloodthirsty aura.

As soon as he got close, Shi Qingyun felt a chill run down his spine and shattered it instantly with a single sword strike.

Just as the equally rapidly healing thing shot towards him, a branch quickly spread out from behind him.

The focus was placed on the blood curse, and immediately strange ripples spread out, affecting everyone.

I could feel my soul trembling involuntarily.

"The soul of a cultivator who has transcended the mundane is truly wondrous!"

As the curse mark in front of Shi Qingyun was destroyed, the Lord of the Underworld slowly stood up, and the bloodstains on his cheeks disappeared instantly.

A surge of power instantly filled his body, while Old Tao, in the distance, turned pale, the bloodstain on his forehead flashing with a blinding red light.

A series of sucking sounds emanated from the blood curse, and as the blood curse flashed rhythmically, Old Tao's life force was rapidly being consumed.

Shi Qingyun's gaze sharpened, and he moved with a yin-yang gait, instantly appearing beside Lao Tao and thrusting his sword towards Lao Tao's forehead.

clang--

The sword tip touched the blood curse, and instantly, intense and dazzling crimson light burst forth.

Blood-red lines spread from the blood curse, rapidly climbing up Old Tao's entire body, attaching to and absorbing his divine power and even his life force.

"Ha~"

"Naive! If the blood curse is broken, his life will also end!"

"Don't waste your energy, I will make sure you meet again before the cycle of reincarnation!"

As soon as the Lord of the Underworld finished speaking, he reappeared behind Shi Qingyun, his black soul banner sweeping across the room, the howling wind blowing his robes.

The sword tip suddenly snapped back to a single point, and the extreme cold power emanating from it instantly froze the writhing blood curse.

Then, he unleashed the Yin-Yang Step once more, thrusting his sword backward to firmly block the incoming Soul Banner.

After deflecting the Lord of the Underworld, he instantly vanished from his spot, standing proudly in the void, his gaze fixed on the Lord of the Underworld.

The pressure on his body increased instantly, the tip of his sword pointed directly at the Lord of the Underworld, and the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram unfolded behind him.

wow——

The scroll of life and death slowly enveloped this world, and the figures of Shi Qingyun and the Lord of the Underworld also appeared on the scroll.

Ming looked around at the ink painting-like scenery and felt the heavy oppressive force pressing down on him. He tried to break through, but was intercepted by Shi Qingyun every time.

The dazzling and magnificent magical powers transformed into blooming flowers on this scroll.

The Sword Prison relentlessly tore at the scroll of life and death, with each ferocious beast and rare treasure imprinted on the scroll fiercely attacking the Lord of the Underworld.

Under the suppression of the Dao Diagram of Life and Death, the Lord of the Underworld was instantly riddled with holes by a barrage of attacks.

However, as the crimson light flashed across his body, his injuries healed rapidly, no matter how powerful Shi Qingyun's magic was.

However, at this time, the damage to the Lord of the Underworld is limited.

Boom—Crack—

With a deafening roar, the scroll of life and death suspended above the Milky Way was torn apart in the next instant, and the ink that spilled out instantly stained half of the sky.

Shi Qingyun's figure flew backwards, his body covered in bloody wounds that continued to bleed.

"They're really troublesome!"

The Lord of the Underworld also emerged from the explosion, his face deathly pale. Looking at the ink-like color surging on his right hand, his killing intent intensified.

If he hadn't risked serious injury to break through the limitations of the Life and Death Diagram, even if there were many people outside with the Blood Curse, they would have been worn down to death by Shi Qingyun.

At this moment, Shi Qingyun's expression was also extremely ugly. The Underworld Lord's strength far surpassed his own, possessing the cultivation of the peak of the Escape One realm and a strange Daoist technique that could continuously heal injuries.

"Ha~"

"Since I can't defeat someone at the Severing Myself Realm, I'll just retreat."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke calmly, his aura gradually subsiding.

His gaze fell on the Underworld Lord who was attacking him, and his eyes immediately flashed with blood-red light.

The Lord of the Underworld unleashed his full power, and the soul banner in his hand flickered with strands of blood-red light that devoured souls.

He swung his sword fiercely at Shi Qingyun, and seeing him standing there dumbfounded, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he already foresaw his death.

Boom——

Before the soul banner could even fall, thunderclouds instantly filled the void, and bolts of lightning crashed down.

A bolt of lightning struck the Lord of the Underworld, instantly blocking his attack. He stared in horror at the lightning flashing across the sky.

The black mist emanating from the soul banner, which had been struck by lightning, dissipated somewhat, and the figure retreated rapidly backward.

However, Lei Yun locked onto him firmly, forcing him to stop.

"You're playing dirty, right?"

"I'd like to see if you can withstand such a terrifying tribulation of lightning!"

The Lord of the Underworld looked rather grim. As a reincarnation of a powerful being, he was naturally afraid of things that were extremely righteous and unyielding. When the lightning tribulation locked onto him, his heart sank.

However, as long as Shi Qingyun dies in the lightning tribulation, there's nothing to worry about. Moreover, judging from the intensity of this lightning tribulation, he doesn't believe Shi Qingyun can survive it.

Looking at the Lord of the Underworld in the distance, who was resisting the continuous strikes of heavenly lightning, a solemn expression appeared in Shi Qingyun's eyes.

Looking at the ever-emerging battlefields filled with the stench of blood, I couldn't help but sigh.

I thought I had escaped it, but I didn't expect it to still happen.
