Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

After she finished speaking, Honglian suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful aura.

With a whoosh, his entire figure vanished from Li Ping'an's sight.

Li Ping'an was still completely bewildered.

Then he saw Honglian disappear again in front of him.

However, recalling what Honglian had just said, Li Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

What did she just say? She was sealed away in the dark and sunless Misty Valley by the four major sects?

This red lotus actually escaped from that Misty Valley!

In an instant, Li Ping'an recalled the mysterious formation he had unraveled in that mysterious cave.

Could it be that……

Li Ping'an dared not think about it any further.

Could Honglian be the woman he released himself?

The thought of this sent a chill down Li Ping'an's spine.

What have I done to unleash such a bloodthirsty female demon?

Then, considering her name, Honglian, which sounds similar to Hongling,...

Could Hongling be her older sister?

Therefore, it was Hongling who had to go into the trial herself to rescue Honglian.

No wonder Hongling has such a detailed map.

No wonder he asked for nothing when he entered the trial grounds, only wanting that stone from the sealing formation.

In this way, everything makes sense.

Li Ping'an suddenly realized.

It seems that the red water chestnut is not as simple as I imagined.

But what he couldn't understand was why Honglian insisted that it was her sister who told her not to hurt Li Ping'an.

It seems that Hong Ling still has some conscience.

At least they know to save their own lives.

Meanwhile, Honglian, whose strength had been restored, roared and rushed out of the cave.

Outside, a group of high-ranking sect leaders and elders were searching the area around the cave.

They refused to believe it; Honglian had clearly disappeared here, yet she had vanished without a trace.

They must have used some kind of secret magic to hide here.

If you search carefully, you will definitely find some clues.

To my surprise, the search yielded no results after a long time.

The witch suddenly appeared on her own initiative.

The first Tongtian Sword Sect disciple to spot Honglian was surprised to see her suddenly appear before him.

There was no fear on his face, but rather a look of delight.

"Everyone! The witch is here! Come quick!"

The elder leading the team just gave an order that whoever discovers the monster first will receive a generous reward.

Furthermore, the witch was severely injured and on the verge of death.

He might even have the chance to capture him himself, which would be an incredible achievement.

Seeing that his disciple showed no fear whatsoever, but rather looked eager to try, he realized that his disciple's face was not terrified at all.

With a smirk, Honglian charged toward the disciple.

Honglian simply raised her fist and threw a punch.

With a bang, a purple light flowed through his fist.

The moment it made contact with that disciple, it exploded.

The disciple's body was torn to pieces like tofu dregs.

This scene left the Tongtian Sword Sect disciples, who were rushing over hoping to claim credit, completely dumbfounded.

No, what kind of power is this? One punch and he instantly killed a Foundation Establishment stage disciple? I'm not kidding!

"Don't rush! This witch is severely injured; she won't be able to maintain her strength for long! Everyone, form a formation and surround her to kill her!"

The elder at the late stage of the Golden Core realm was the first to react, shouting loudly to quell the situation.

The disciples also stopped daring to be greedy for merit and act rashly.

Instead, they surrounded the Red Lotus from all sides, each unleashing their own magical artifacts.

Tongtian Sword Sect is a sword cultivation sect, and the vast majority of its disciples are sword cultivators.

All the magical artifacts were various kinds of longswords.

All the disciples who besieged Honglian were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As he manipulated the magical artifacts, dozens of gleaming longswords hovered in the air.

They all aimed directly at the red lotus in the very center.

"Set up the formation! The Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation!"

The leading Golden Core elder controlled the sword formation, and at his command...

As if given a command, all the longswords shot towards the red lotus in the center with a sharp, piercing force.

Seeing this, the leading elder couldn't help but smile.

This Heavenly Sword Formation is an extremely powerful killing move of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation formed by these dozens of disciples could even instantly kill a late-stage Golden Core expert.

The witch was already seriously injured, how could she withstand this attack?

The sect leader still said that whoever can kill this witch will be qualified to enter the core leadership of the sect.

It seems he has a good chance of making another step forward this year.

Just as she was lost in thought, the next second, countless longswords shot into Honglian's body.

Instead of the expected muffled thud, it produced the clanging sound of metal clashing.

It was like shooting at an incredibly hard boulder.

The flying swords and spiritual energy attacks struck Honglian's body, resulting in all of them breaking and shattering.

It fell to the ground like a piece of scrap metal.

"How is that possible!"

The disciples were all stunned.

Not only did none of their longswords harm Honglian, but they were all shattered by the impact.

"Is this your Heavenly Sword Formation? A mere tickle isn't enough!"

Honglian stretched and said lazily.

"Alright, it's time to test the true power of this body. Tsk tsk, it's been thousands of years since I last used it, I can't wait!"

A body that hasn't been used for thousands of years!

Upon hearing these words, the leading elder's pupils contracted, and he realized something was wrong.

However, in the next second, Honglian's body had already disappeared from the spot.

Only a wisp of purple light remained.

The disciples looked at each other, wondering where Honglian had gone again.

Suddenly, a disciple was looking around.

Suddenly, the disciple beside him burst open like a watermelon.

His internal organs were scattered everywhere, and his intestines were even hanging on his face.

The disciple froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

I was terrified.

Before anyone could react, another flash of purple light appeared.

Another disciple's body exploded.

However, none of the people, even the elder who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, realized how Honglian had made her move.

What kind of speed is this? What kind of power is this?

A Foundation Establishment stage disciple couldn't even withstand one punch from her!

Bang bang bang!

Immediately afterwards, one after another, blood blossoms burst open in the crowd.

These Foundation Establishment stage disciples have experienced countless battles and cultivated for hundreds of years, their minds as firm as a rock.

But she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Because no one knows whether they will be the one to explode in the next second.

This extreme sense of fear is unbearable.

"Run! This isn't human!"

"The witch was no match for us!"

Someone shouted, and all the disciples who were in the sword formation scattered and fled.

Despite the elder's desperate shouts, "Don't disrupt the sword formation! This witch's power can't last long!"

But even so, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when disaster strikes, everyone flies away.

In the blink of an eye, their towering sword formation was easily broken by fear.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the elder dared not linger.

He summoned a flying artifact, gathered spiritual power, and tried to escape in the blink of an eye.
