I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

"scold!"

A delicate shout came from the necklace worn by Li Yang, and Ning Xi summoned dozens of top-level defensive talismans from within it.

Although the talisman was pierced layer by layer by the Destruction Finger, its power was greatly weakened.

With a "whoosh," it pierced through Li Yang's body, but due to insufficient strength, the damage was not serious.

Not only that.

A brilliant green light emanated from the necklace, blessing Li Yang's entire body, and his sword wounds and burns healed rapidly.

"What powerful incantation techniques!" The Holy Son of Qianyang frowned, his face turning even more grim.

"Although Ning Xi is weak, she has countless talismans and pills, and is also proficient in incantation techniques. This is troublesome!" Mu Zangfeng frowned as well.

This is a protracted battle.

Both Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi have extensive combat experience, and they have a variety of trump cards and tricks up their sleeves.

A day or two later—

The cultivator army of the Tianyuan Dynasty swept in and arrived at the capital of the Nine Netherworld.

The cultivators of the Nine Nether Dynasty have been defeated. Even the Nine Nether Emperor was slaughtered and killed in the Nine Provinces. The cultivators either fled or scattered, and it is impossible for them to make a comeback.

With the closing time of the secret realm drawing ever closer, only three days remaining, most people are converging on the capital of the Nine Netherworld.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of cultivators are watching this final battle.

This determines the ultimate fate of the ancient immortals' lineage.

period.

Ye Zhi Qiu re-entered the Nine Netherworld Capital, his condition having recovered to its peak, further increasing the pressure on Li Yang.

Not only that.

Having witnessed Li Yang's terrifying power and Ning Xi's exceptional support abilities, they no longer guarded against each other and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the battle.

Both sides were rapidly depleting their resources and strength, and their injuries were becoming increasingly severe.

Gradually, the rate at which the injuries worsened exceeded the rate at which they healed on their own.

Even though Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi's physical bodies were comparable to those of the most outstanding body cultivators, and Ye Zhiqiu's self-healing ability was terrifyingly powerful, they were still gradually eroded by Li Yang's killing intent and baleful aura.

However, Li Yang was also suffering. His physical body had been severely injured and healed countless times, and he could no longer keep up with the speed of the transformation of his life essence.

"Why are you all gathered here? Are you waiting for them to weaken each other so you can reap the benefits?" a newly arrived cultivator asked curiously.

"Don't even think about it. Qianyang Saint Son and Mu Zangfeng even gave up the array flags that allowed them to escape from this array, just to completely isolate this array from the outside world."

"Doesn't that mean this place is like a life-or-death arena where only one can survive?"

"It's hard to say. If the outcome is still undecided after three days, they can both survive. Anyway, I bet that they can both survive, and the odds are quite high, 4.5 to 1."

"Who set up the betting game?"

"Who else could it be? The Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce and the Heavenly Palace Chamber of Commerce, of course~"

"Aren't they enemies?"

"Hehe~ Merchants only pursue eternal interests. I heard that the two merchant guilds are profiting from both sides, betting on Qin Feng and the three Holy Sons of Qianyang. No matter who wins, they will all be indebted to them."

For the vast majority of cultivators, fighting has lost its meaning.

The rankings are basically set, with only the top five players currently engaged in fierce battles within the formation.

However, it was clear to everyone that Li Yang, despite having Ning Xi's assistance, was no match for the three supreme masters who had unleashed their full power.

The injuries on his body were too shocking to heal, and the healing process was getting slower and slower.

His blood stained the Phoenix Sword red.

The blade of the Phoenix Sword was mostly bent, and the tip was almost broken.

Mu Zangfeng's bronze sword was also badly damaged; a section of it had broken off, and its spiritual power had been greatly diminished.

However, he also possesses the most powerful Immortal-Slaying Sword Pellet, which primarily utilizes internal sword cultivation techniques, using the sword to create distance and continuously divide sword light for attacks.

"You damned witch, how long are you going to keep bothering me?!" Tu Jiuzhou roared.

He was getting annoyed to death by Zi Yuan.

This woman doesn't confront me directly, but once I abandon her as a target, she immediately attacks me, making it difficult to support Li Yang.

"After Qin Feng is killed, you'll be next!" Zi Yuan's eyes were cold. Her mouth was full of blood, and she was badly injured.

However, it was not fatal. She was hiding inside a magical tower, the origin of which was unknown, and it was indestructible.

All she had to do was stall until Mu Zangfeng and the other two killed Qin Feng, so that she could help them slaughter and annihilate the entire land. That was all.

"Qin Feng! Why are you always targeting me? I hate you!" Ye Zhi Qiu roared!

It was originally thought that without Ning Xi's timely activation of the teleportation talisman, Li Yang would abandon himself as the primary target.

As soon as he entered the trap, Li Yang immediately attacked without hesitation.

His storage ring's hidden cards are already empty.

I've redeemed everything I needed from the system inventory, and I'm not far from running out of resources.

He couldn't blame Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi either; the two of them were also trying their best to cover themselves and draw fire.

But Li Yang was single-mindedly focused on him, seemingly determined not to give up until he killed him.

"You like fighting demons and protecting the righteous, don't you? That evil sword cultivator is your greatest enemy!" Ye Zhi Qiu roared. "Even if you kill me, he will kill you too. You might as well find another target!"

But to Li Yang, his words were nothing but bullshit.

Whom you choose to kill is your own choice.

Even if he were to be killed by Mu Zangfeng after killing Ye Zhi Qiu, that would be fate.

"die!"

Ye Zhi Qiu responded with a sword.

Even though the Phoenix Sword was coiled up, its sword intent remained high and sharp.

This was an unprecedentedly high-level and intense battle for the Phoenix Sword, with the sword body reaching its peak and the sword spirit's will reaching a continuous climax.

Even if it becomes scrap metal after this battle, it will have no regrets and will deeply etch this battle into its memory.

Li Yang locked onto Ye Zhi Qiu, who had completely lost all his trump cards, ignoring the deadly attacks from Mu Zang Feng and Qian Yang Sheng Zi behind him, and brought his sword down on Ye Zhi Qiu's head—

"System! Help me!"

Ye Zhi Qiu screamed frantically within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Only by unlocking the power of the Nine Apertures Exquisite Immortal Body yourself can you change the course of the battle. I no longer have the authority to lend you any treasures.

The above has detected an anomaly and has disabled all my permissions.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi Qiu was utterly terrified.

Even at this moment, he still could not face death with equanimity.

Because if I were to die, not only would this body die, but I would also die on Earth!

The facade of strength he had been forcing completely crumbled at that moment.

"No! I can't die! I have an infinite future ahead of me, so many stunning beauties waiting for me to conquer, how can I die here!!"

Ye Zhi Qiu sensed the deadly killing intent approaching from behind, and not only did tears and snot flow from his nose, but he was also so frightened that he urinated.

Cultivators don't excrete or urinate, but they do expel streams of liquid and solid spiritual energy mixed with impurities from the pills.

This is the path you chose. Don't regret it. Face it calmly. I'll die with you.

The system's voice carried a hint of emotion.

However, Ye Zhi Qiu found it difficult to accept.

But from the system's words, it seemed as if a glimmer of hope could be found.

He actually turned directly to Li Yang and pleaded in an almost begging tone:

"Qin Feng, I'm sorry. But I swear, in all my years of cultivation, I have never harmed an innocent person, unlike those two damned beasts! I'm a good person!"

Seeing that Li Yang remained unmoved, Ye Zhi Qiu hardened her heart: "I know you hate me, but please give me a chance to atone! I'm willing to become your slave and use my Nine-Aperture Exquisite Immortal Body to help you find their weaknesses!"

Upon hearing this, both Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi's expressions turned extremely ugly.

"This person lacks any semblance of a strong person; we shouldn't have agreed to cooperate with him in the first place!"

But Li Yang remained unmoved, and the Phoenix Sword drew ever closer to him.

"If you kill me, you'll be killed by those two most despicable bastards too. You might as well cooperate with me and enslave me. As long as you swear by your sword heart that you won't cause me any trouble after it's done, I'll immediately hand over my soul blood and switch sides to help you!" Ye Zhi Qiu was also desperate, and roared desperately.

It even forced out a drop of soul blood.

It seemed as if he would send it over immediately if Li Yang agreed.

"You can consider it..." Even Ning Xi, who was in the small world, was tempted.

Because if this trend continues, even if Li Yang kills Ye Zhi Qiu, his chances of winning won't increase.

Compared to Ye Zhi Qiu, who is exhausted, Mu Zang Feng and Qian Yang Sheng Zi, who are stronger and more determined, are the biggest threats.

"Yes! You have no reason to kill me. We can put our differences behind us." Ye Zhi Qiu grasped at a straw. "As long as I become Tu Jiuzhou's slave, I can help him kill Zi Yuan. Then, the two of us can help you. It'll be three against two, giving you a huge advantage!"

No matter how eloquently Ye Zhi Qiu spoke, Li Yang's murderous intent remained unwavering.

"Your words are very tempting, but—" Li Yang had already closed in on Ye Zhi Qiu, and his long-prepared Phoenix Sword slashed down decisively, "—I refuse!"
