Transforming into a stunningly beautiful fox spirit, leaving a scar on the heart of a prodigy.

With a deafening roar, the obsidian floor in the center of Guiyuan Hall completely collapsed.

The heavy stone slabs turned to dust, and a huge spatial passage was forcibly torn apart.

Amidst billowing smoke and dust, Su Chang'an, clad in a white robe and exuding a powerful aura, plummeted straight into the underground cavern.

Gu Xiang and Bai Yin followed closely behind, one on the left and one on the right.

The moment their feet touched the ground, an intense, suffocating stench of blood assaulted their nostrils.

Su Chang'an's gaze pierced through the dim, blood-red light and instantly locked onto Chen Xuan, who was pinned in mid-air.

Dozens of dark red chains of law pierced through his limbs and collarbones.

His black clothes were torn apart, and his skin and flesh were exposed.

Blood dripped down the cold iron chains. The pure black sword intent was being forcibly drawn away by the formation, merging into the jade cauldron behind.

Su Chang'an felt agitated, and his eyes turned unusually cold at that moment.

The surrounding air groaned under the strain, and the Taiyin Moon Amber between his brows flickered wildly.

The extremely cold Yin energy spread rapidly and in large quantities along the ground, causing the bloodstains on the rock wall to instantly freeze into a layer of dark blue frost.

midair.

Chen Xuan, who was nearly fainting from the excruciating pain, heard a loud crash as the building collapsed.

He struggled to lift his head, and through his blood-covered eyelashes, he could see that spotless white.

The taut muscles on that deathly pale face suddenly relaxed.

His pale lips curled up slightly, forming a very relaxed smile.

He knew she had arrived.

Facing the three who broke through the formation, Li Changgeng, who was sitting cross-legged at the edge of the formation, showed no panic whatsoever. His withered and old face did not even show a trace of emotion.

"We've come at just the right time."

Li Changgeng didn't even lift his eyelids, casually flicking his right hand, which was originally resting on his knee.

The dark red Nine Netherworld Refining God Array erupted with dazzling blood light.

With a clang.

A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out.

The chain piercing Chen Xuan's collarbone tightened instantly, its surface sprouting countless barbs that burrowed deep into his bone marrow.

He actually planned to drain the last of the Great Sage Sword Bone from Chen Xuan's body in front of Su Chang'an.

Chen Xuan's body tensed to its limit in mid-air, and a painful groan came from deep in his throat.

Those cultivators peering through the water mirror from the outside all gasped in shock, their spines tingling with cold.

"You old scoundrel, you're asking for it!"

Bai Yin let out a roar that shattered the rock wall.

A dark red Asura White Tiger Dharma Image solidified behind him. He shattered the rocks, his entire body transforming into a blood-red afterimage.

The malevolent energy of Geng metal roared, transforming into countless sharp claws that slammed into the base of the Nine Netherworld Refining God Array.

Gu Xiang remained silent, his blue robe fluttering in the wind.

With a wild flourish of his sage's giant brush, golden righteous energy transformed into a tangible blade, precisely slicing into the outer crimson array patterns and shattering all the defenses that were trying to block Bai Yin.

The two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other supporting.

At the very moment they held back the outer edge of the formation, Su Chang'an made his move.

The white robe left an afterimage in place, as she completely ignored spatial distance.

The Taiyin Sword, carrying an extreme chilling light that could tear through the void, pointed directly at Li Changgeng's brow.

This sword strike was devoid of any frills, containing only pure, extreme killing intent.

Li Changgeng's eyelids twitched slightly.

He sensed the terrifying laws contained within the sword; if he didn't dodge, his head would be instantly pierced and frozen.

He was forced to withdraw his right hand, and the gray quasi-emperor law condensed into a shield in his palm, forcefully blocking the sword's edge.

With a loud bang.

The Taiyin sword energy clashed violently with the gray laws.

A devastating energy storm erupted inside the cave.

With a muffled groan, Li Changgeng's body shifted half a foot backward, carving two deep furrows in the hard rocky ground.

The Supreme Forgetfulness Sect's patriarch, who had been invincible for three thousand years, was forced to retreat half a step in the first round of combat.

This gap was only a tiny, fleeting moment.

But for Su Chang'an, that was enough.

She completely ignored the terrifying backlash from the formation's eruption. The Taiyin Moon Amber between her brows shone brightly, and her left hand directly crossed the sword's edge, boldly probing into the extremely dangerous core of the blood-red formation.

The power of extreme cold poured down his arm, forcibly freezing the bone-drawing array patterns that were operating at high speed within Chen Xuan's body.

The blade of law was frantically slicing through her palm.

The fair skin was cut open, and the blood that had just seeped out was frozen into red ice crystals.

Su Chang'an didn't even frown.

She formed her fingers into claws, gripping tightly the core chain that pierced Chen Xuan's collarbone.

The essence of the Celestial Fox and the power of Taiyin erupted simultaneously in his palm.

"Smash it!"

Su Chang'an parted her red lips slightly and suddenly exerted force with her five fingers.

With a snap and a bang.

The crisp popping sound echoed through the cave.

That indestructible chain of laws, belonging to an emperor, shattered into countless dark red specks of light under her absolute violence.

Chen Xuan lost the support of the chains and his mangled body plummeted straight down.

Su Chang'an stepped forward and steadily pulled him into her arms.

The entire room fell silent.

Both Li Changgeng and the onlookers were completely shocked by this domineering method of annihilation that disregarded the laws of nature.

Chen Xuan leaned weakly on Su Chang'an's shoulder.

He was covered in blood and breathing weakly.

But he managed to lift his right hand, whose nails were deeply embedded in his flesh.

The clenched fist slowly loosened, revealing a blood-stained jade pendant.

The celestial fox's aura was faint, yet still clear.

"It's not lost..."

Chen Xuan's voice was as thin as a whisper, dry and hoarse, yet carrying an almost stubborn air of seeking credit.

Su Chang'an looked at the jade pendant soaked in blood, and at his miserable face, a hint of redness welled up in his usually cold eyes.

"I know."

The sound was extremely soft.

She took the jade pendant and carefully put it close to her body, then transferred the essence of the celestial fox into his body to stabilize his heart, which was on the verge of collapse.

Then, she gently pushed him to Gu Xiang, who had caught up.

"Protect him."

Gu Xiang carefully put away the giant brush, catching it steadily, and his righteous aura immediately enveloped Chen Xuan. He looked at Chen Xuan's miserable state, his eyes were terrifyingly deep, and he nodded heavily.

Su Chang'an turned around.

The specks of blood on the white robe were quite conspicuous.

She held the Taiyin Sword diagonally in her right hand, her icy gaze fixed on Li Changgeng across a distance of ten feet.

The murderous intent was completely boiling over.

The temperature in the cave plummeted, and frost climbed wildly up the rock walls.

Li Changgeng slowly stood up.

He wiped away a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

Looking at Su Chang'an, who was filled with murderous intent, he shifted his gaze to Bai Yin, whose body was radiating murderous aura and whose eyes were bloodshot.

The quasi-emperor who was forced to retreat showed no rage or frustration on his face.

in contrast.

His lips slowly curled upwards, revealing an extremely eerie, morbidly satisfied smile.

He looked at the dark red aura swirling around Bai Yin, his eyes revealing the greed he felt when looking at a rare treasure.

"finally……"

His voice was extremely low; he was talking to himself, yet also announcing the completion of the ceremony.

"The calamity energy is enough."

The moment those four words fell, alarm bells rang in Su Chang'an's heart.

She looked at Li Changgeng's eerie smile.

The image of the Chen family's defenses, which were so fragile they could crumble at the slightest touch, flashed through his mind, as did the spatial nodes deliberately left in this cavern.

A chilling thought instantly seized her mind.

She thought that leading a forceful attack to rescue Chen Xuan would break the deadlock.

But I never expected it.

This was exactly what Li Changgeng wanted.

What he was really waiting for was not Chen Xuan's sword bone.

Instead, it was the Asura White Tiger that had just crossed the spatial barrier and was currently on the verge of extreme berserk mode.
