At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Upon hearing this roar, Lu Changting seemed to awaken from a dream. He trembled for a moment, looked at the heavily injured Leng Xuan, and then at the old man who exuded a murderous aura.

Finally, his gaze fell on Yun Ziling, who was lying on the ground with a weak breath.

Two thoughts were violently tearing at his heart: one was a deep-seated fear, and the other was an uncontrollable greed.

"Ah... kill, kill you all!"

He roared fiercely, risking his life, and brandished a fierce greatsword in his hand, charging madly towards Ling Xiu.

If this old man is killed, the current situation can be reversed instantly.

Ling Xiu let out a cold snort, and as Lu Changting rushed closer, he suddenly flashed away.

Flying Swallow Step!

He pushed this movement technique to its limit, no longer concealing his strength in the slightest, revealing his full cultivation.

The Thunderclap Sword, crackling with rolling lightning, unleashed a heaven-piercing strike, its sword light soaring into the sky at incredible speed.

Click!

In an instant, Lu Changting's broadsword was cleaved in two.

The blinding sword light filled his vision, and a heavy chill of death instantly enveloped his entire body.

He hurriedly retreated, trying to retrieve his broken sword, but Ling Xiu's sword strike was swift and fierce, wrapped in lightning and lightning, and attacked again!

"No!"

Lu Changting was filled with terror. Before he could finish speaking, the long sword pierced straight through his throat with a soft thud.

Fast, accurate, and ruthless!

With such rapid movement, sharp sword light, and the cold, murderous aura of the old man before him, Lu Changting never expected his opponent to be so powerful until his death.

Before he could even utter a single scream, his body slowly collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, filled with terror, dying with his eyes wide open.

He is at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm, capable of easily killing someone with a single move, and his actions are decisive and ruthless.

Leng Xuan, who witnessed the whole thing, suddenly became breathless and used his last bit of strength to crawl desperately on the mud with his hands, wanting nothing more than to escape this deadly place.

Not far away, Yun Ziling suffered a backlash and was severely injured. She stood leaning on her long sword, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief as she stared blankly at Ling Xiu.

The sword strike that killed Lu Changting plunged Leng Xuan into an icy abyss, extinguishing his last glimmer of hope and leaving him with only bone-chilling fear.

He forced back his trembling as he looked at Ling Xiu and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Please, senior, don't kill me! I am a disciple of the Demonic Sect. If you spare my life, I will offer you all my possessions! This is just a personal grudge between me and Yun Ziling. You don't need to interfere."

Ling Xiu remained unmoved, the Thunderclap Sword aimed directly at his heart, pressing closer and closer.

Leng Xuan blurted out something in a panic.

"Who exactly are you? How dare you oppose my Demonic Cult! Kill me, and you will surely suffer a terrible death!"

"I am an inner disciple of the sect, and my master is an elder at the Transcendent Realm! If you let me leave, I swear a demonic vow never to seek revenge, and I can even recommend you to join the Demonic Sect for cultivation!"

But he could see it clearly; the killing intent in Ling Xiu's eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

The old man's cultivation level is probably at the Condensation Realm, as he could easily crush Lu Changting, who was at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Today, there is no escaping this calamity.

Coercion, bribery, and pleading were all in vain.

Ling Xiu slowly walked to Yun Ziling's side and gently helped her up with his withered arm.

He turned to look at Leng Xuan, who was sprawled on the ground.

"Senior Sister Yun, this scoundrel is your responsibility. How do you intend to deal with him?"

Leng Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted sharply; he could hardly believe his ears.

This old man actually addressed Yun Ziling as Senior Sister; it turns out he was also a member of the Qingyun Sect!

"Do as you please."

Yun Ziling stared coldly at Leng Xuan and replied softly.

Ling Xiu no longer hesitated.

The members of the Demonic Cult are bloodthirsty and tyrannical, with vicious hearts. Keeping them alive will only harm the righteous. This person must be killed!

With a flash, he rushed to Leng Xuan's side, and the Thunderclap Sword's cold light surged.

In despair, Leng Xuan unleashed all his inner strength in a desperate fight, attempting to use his most powerful secret techniques. However, the speed difference was too great, and he was no match for Ling Xiu.

brush!

A flash of cold light swept across, the sword's edge grazing the neck, too fast for the naked eye to catch.

Leng Xuan was instantly decapitated, his head rolling into the mud.

Is that all?

Do not!

Knowing Ling Xiu's nature, he would never leave any future troubles. The Thunderclap Sword suddenly pierced the brow of the head that had rolled off, annihilating even his hidden soul.

His head was contorted with endless resentment and fear, leaving no room for maneuver in the end.

Both of them, who were at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm, perished.

Ling Xiu conjured a ball of mysterious fire and threw it onto the two corpses, igniting and burning them.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, he took away the two people's storage bags. He also carefully kept Leng Xuan's defensive talisman, which was almost destroyed by a sword, as it still contained a lot of spiritual energy.

Once all the remains had been burned to ashes, Ling Xiu quickly returned to Yun Ziling's side.

"Senior Sister Yun, how are your injuries?"

Yun Ziling's emotions were churning; she had witnessed the entire battle just now.

He had previously suffered severe injuries and narrowly escaped Leng Xuan's clutches, but the situation was reversed in an instant.

Ling Xiu's terrifying strength and ruthless methods left her unable to calm down for a long time.

I was deeply shocked.

Is this really the same frail and weak old man who seemed to be on his deathbed before?

Their strength is actually that formidable?

She looked up at Ling Xiu and gently patted his shoulder.

"Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have surely died today."

Her beautiful eyes held a complex mix of emotions; having survived the ordeal, she still found it hard to believe what she had just witnessed.

My heart was filled with gratitude, but at the same time, a sense of wariness arose within me.

Ling Xiu was hiding his true intentions very well.

"Ling Xiu, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You killed a demonic cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining with ease."

What exactly is your cultivation level? Even I can't see through it at all. What's going on?

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Yun Ziling before him, Ling Xiu sighed inwardly, realizing that he would no longer be able to conceal his cultivation level.

"Senior Sister Yun, this is a long story. We shouldn't stay here any longer. I'll carry you away first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he carefully carried Yun Ziling on his back and began to move swiftly through the dense forest of Chifeng Mountain.

After running for several miles, they found a secluded cave, entered it, and gently put Yun Ziling down.

Yun Ziling's spiritual energy was severely depleted, and the backlash further exacerbated her injuries, causing her to fall into a deep coma shortly afterward.

Her chest rose and fell slightly, her clothes were half open. When Ling Xiu saw this, he immediately tore off a piece of his own clothes and stepped forward to carefully cover her up.

Her injuries were critical, and she was barely breathing; she needed immediate medical attention.

"It seems that she has just broken through to the Condensation Realm and her foundation is still unstable. The backlash caused her injuries to be even more severe than Leng Xuan's earlier."

Ling Xiu thought to himself.

"Although I possess top-grade elixirs, in terms of healing and strengthening the body, they are far less effective than the Void Origin Longevity Mantra."

Just as he was about to transfer the power of the Void Origin Longevity Mantra, a fatal concern suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"No, this longevity magic has a unique aura and abundant vitality. Once it is transferred into her body, it will definitely expose abnormalities. If it affects my Qiankun Xuanhu, the consequences will be endless."

He then considered taking out the top-grade elixirs he carried with him, but then he thought that these elixirs also came from the Qiankun Xuanhu and were also secrets that could not be revealed.

He was caught in a dilemma, but no matter what, he had to save Yun Ziling.
