After guarding the gates for a hundred years, I drove the Heavenly Saint to madness.

The atmosphere at Jiepai Pass was tense, as if swords were about to clash.

As Xiao Wuji finished speaking, the kind and benevolent face of the Antarctic Immortal finally turned completely gloomy.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone a quasi-saintly great being.

"Stubborn and obstinate."

The Antarctic Immortal slammed his dragon-shaped staff into the air, producing a muffled sound that shook the heavens and earth.

"Since you insist on courting death, then this humble Taoist will cleanse the sect on behalf of my Uncle Tongtian!"

boom--!

A terrifying surge of magical power, belonging to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, erupted from his body like a tsunami.

The sky and earth lost their color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the nine white dragons pulling the chariot let out uneasy low growls and quickly retreated.

On the city wall, facing this earth-shattering pressure, Xiao Wuji advanced instead of retreating.

"Clean house? You're not worthy!"

He stomped his foot hard.

"Buzz—"

A lotus platform radiating countless rays of holy light bloomed out of thin air beneath his feet.

Twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus!

The lotus platform rotated, showering down endless vitality that enveloped Xiao Wuji.

At the same time, the withered yellow Chaos Bell above his head trembled slightly, cascading down thousands of streams of primordial yellow energy, like an insurmountable waterfall of heavenly river.

The Immortal Execution Sword in his hand was pointed diagonally at the ground, emitting a hazy, destructive sword aura.

Standing on a white lotus, with the Eastern Emperor above his head, holding the Immortal Slayer sword in his hand, he is in the midst of a grand formation!

The moment this set of equipment was revealed, Guang Chengzi, Randeng, and the others, who had been so aggressive, couldn't help but twitch their eyes.

So rich!

This guy isn't a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect at all! He's practically an upgraded version of Duobao Daoren!

Even a saint would be envious of this outfit!

They couldn't even understand where Xiao Wuji got so many magical treasures.

"You old codger, you want to kill me?"

Xiao Wuji stood on the lotus platform, looking at the Antarctic Immortal in the sky, and sneered:

"Your arrogance is even bigger than your athlete's foot. Come on! Let me see just how much this senior disciple of the Chan Sect really weighs!"

"Arrogant!!"

The Antarctic Immortal roared angrily and said no more. He pointed his dove-like staff at Xiao Wuji from afar.

"Life and death are fleeting, time is like a knife!"

There were no earth-shattering energy beams, nor any magical bombardments capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

Only an invisible and intangible yet omnipresent strange fluctuation instantly enveloped the entire Jiepai Pass.

Under this fluctuation, the incredibly sturdy city wall of Jiepai Pass began to weather and become mottled at a visible speed, as if it had undergone millions of years of erosion in an instant.

The banners that had been fluttering on the city wall decayed and turned to ash in an instant, drifting away in the wind.

This is a law, and a law that involves the essence of time and life!

The Antarctic Immortal cultivates the path of immortality, but since he can grant immortality, he can also strip people of their lifespan, causing them to wither away instantly!

"Let's see how long you can hold out!" The Old Man of the South Pole said coldly.

His Law of Withering and Flourishing ignores physical defenses and specifically targets life force. No matter how powerful your magic is, as long as you haven't attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, your life force will eventually come to an end.

However, just as the law of withering and flourishing was about to erode Xiao Wuji's physical body...

"Splash—"

The twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus beneath his feet suddenly emitted a clear, flowing sound.

Countless tiny white lotus phantoms, no bigger than a thumb, flew out from the lotus platform and slowly rotated around Xiao Wuji.

With each lotus flower that blooms, a holy light, full of vitality and purification, shines down.

sizzle-

That pervasive law of life and death, upon encountering this purifying light, was like mud meeting a clear spring, quickly washed away, purified, and dissolved.

Xiao Wuji stood there, his hair jet black, his face ruddy. He had never felt so exhilarated, let alone having his lifespan stolen. Not even the hem of his clothes wrinkled.

"Is this all you've got?"

Xiao Wuji felt a sense of peace as he sensed the continuous vitality emanating from the white lotus beneath his feet.

As expected of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it is specifically designed to counter such insidious and negative laws!

"If that's all you're capable of, then you might as well go back to being a crane-raising servant!"

Xiao Wuji sneered and stopped passively taking the beating.

"Chaos Bell, suppress!"

when--!!

The resounding bell tolled, and the spacetime that had been distorted by the law of decay and prosperity instantly returned to normal with this sound, forcibly interrupting the weathering force targeting Jiepai Pass.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wuji swung his sword backhand.

"Zhu Xian!"

Swish!

A gray sword aura, tens of thousands of feet long, tore through the sky, carrying the destructive law that severed all life, heading straight for the face of the Antarctic Immortal.

Come and go without indecent!

You'll taste the power of my sword too!

Antarctic Immortal's expression changed slightly. He could feel the terrifying killing intent contained in that sword energy. If he were to be struck, even if he was a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, he would be severely injured.

"The Shield of Immortality!"

He held his staff horizontally, and a blue light screen instantly opened in front of him, with ever-flowing runes on it.

boom--!

The sword energy struck the light barrier, unleashing a blinding burst of light.

Although he blocked the sword, the Antarctic Immortal was also forced back half a step by the enormous impact, and the clouds beneath his feet were shattered.

"Such a hard tortoise shell! Such a deadly sword!"

The Old Man of the South Pole steadied himself, his expression turning somewhat grim.

After a few exchanges, he became increasingly alarmed.

This kid's defense is downright shameless!

Outside, there is the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation that isolates heaven and earth; inside, there is the Chaos Bell that suppresses time and space; and close to the body, there are the Twelve Pure World White Lotuses that are impervious to all laws.

How the hell do I fight this?

Trying to brute force it with magic? You'll be blocked by the great formation and the Chaos Bell.

Trying to use the laws to trick people? You will be purified by the Pure White Lotus.

Want to engage in close combat? They're just waiting for you to walk right into their trap, wielding the Immortal-Slaying Sword!

If he were to fight desperately and use his trump card, the Antarctic Immortal was confident that he might be able to break through the defense, but he would definitely pay a heavy price and might even be severely injured by the backlash from the Immortal Execution Sword.

does it worth?

In the end, the Old Man of the South Pole decided to take a longer approach, as it was not worth risking his life in such a hasty manner.

"snort!"

The Antarctic Immortal snorted coldly, and using the force of the sword energy's recoil, he drifted back a thousand feet, creating distance between himself and the enemy.

He put away his staff, straightened his somewhat disheveled robes, and resumed his aloof demeanor, though a hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes.

"Xiao Wuji, you're just relying on the power of your magic weapon to hide in your tortoise shell and eke out a living."

"I don't have time to waste here with you today. I'll return and devise a way to break the formation before I come back to take your dog's life!"

Having said that, he didn't give Xiao Wuji a chance to retort. With a wave of his sleeve, he rolled up the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage.

"Guang Chengzi, Randeng, let's go!"

"what?"

Guang Chengzi and Randeng were just hoping that the Antarctic Immortal would display his divine power, but they were stunned when he withdrew after only a few exchanges.

"Walk!"

The Antarctic Immortal emphasized his words, then turned and transformed into a long rainbow, flying towards the Xiqi camp without looking back.

That speed was even faster than when they arrived.

Seeing this, Guang Chengzi and the others dared not linger any longer. They quickly picked up the corpses on the ground and followed after them in a sorry state.

Peace returned to Jiepai Pass.

Holding the Immortal Execution Sword, Xiao Wuji looked in the direction where the Antarctic Immortal had disappeared, shook his head, and put away all the magical treasures.

"They ran away already? They're even worse than Guang Chengzi."
