I only want to win over the fairy.

Fighting a protracted battle is not good for me, because my current attacks are not effective at all. Just now, I was only touched by the opponent, and my right hand was almost ruined, and the speaker was destroyed by the opponent.

If it were an exchange battle, she would indeed have won, after all, it is rare for someone with the strength of the Dao Integration Realm to fight to such an extent with someone who has stepped into the Emperor Realm. But unfortunately, this is a life-or-death duel.

We need to finish this quickly; we'll have to use that tactic.

Sheathing her greatsword, Xiao Jinxuan let out a soft breath, raised her right hand, joined two fingers together to form a sword finger, and pointed it towards the sky.

In an instant, the sky within a radius of ten thousand miles centered on her was stained with a layer of inky black. The sky that was originally welcoming the sun was suddenly stained with a layer of bamboo ink marks, like a white painting being stained black with pitch-black ink. The dark and oppressive scenery made people feel a little eerie.

In this pitch-black world, the spotless Xiao Jinxuan is like a graceful fairy who has stepped out of a poem or painting, adding color to this dark world.

"The power of heaven and earth? How naive. You don't actually think that something like that could be of any use to me, do you?"

That being said, Li Yu would not stand idly by and watch his opponent unleash his strongest attack using the power of heaven and earth. He had already exchanged thousands of blows with his opponent and understood that his opponent was no ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

This woman has probably already touched the threshold of the Great Dao. If it weren't for the fact that it's impossible to become a Great Emperor in this world, she would probably have a considerable chance of already breaking through to the Emperor realm.

Unfortunately, you never got the chance!

His eyes narrowed slightly, and an excited smile flashed across his delicate and youthful face. He then raised his hand, and Wanli Xuanmo was shattered by his punch. Immediately afterward, his figure blurred slightly, and his superb physical body allowed him to easily cross the distance between them and arrive in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

And this was the moment that Xuanmo's manipulator had been waiting for.

The dark ink in the sky is just an illusion. Heaven and earth are inseparable, like yin and yang. Since the sky is black, then the earth is white!

The moment you focus on black, you will ignore white!

The white she had arranged on the earth flowed at that moment, forming a pure white canvas that enveloped Li Yu, temporarily sealing off his movements.

"Naive! Do you think I didn't notice your little tricks?!"

The pure white canvas only trapped Li Yu for a moment before he broke free. Such a petty trick to fool him shows that he doesn't even take me seriously!

However, trapping him for even a moment was enough.

Black and white. When you think that the white hidden beneath the black is the killer move, then the black above the white will give you a completely new experience!

"This is the Xuan Tian!"

Xiao Jinxuan raised her sword finger, aiming at Li Yu's neck. At this moment, there was no trace of Xuanmo in the world. Then, a drop of Xuanmo gushed from her fingertip and slashed across the target's neck. A thin thread of Xuanmo, so fine that it could not be seen with the naked eye, which contained almost all of her spiritual power, drew a line across the sky with her movement.

--puff!!!

As Li Yu broke free from the painting, a black line appeared on her neck, and then, like a certain senior student, her head slid smoothly off her body.

That should be the end of it.

Despite her pale complexion due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy, Xiao Jinxuan remained aloof, as if nothing in the world could move her.

If we had imperial weapons, it would be much easier to fight.

Fortunately, the other side didn't have any imperial weapons either, otherwise this would have been a real problem.

Hmm? What's with the aura emanating from the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace...?

Just as she sensed a familiar presence and was about to go and check it out, she suddenly stopped and turned around, a rare look of shock appearing in her usually calm eyes.

Li Yu, who should have died from having her head and soul severed, did not die as others expected, but instead maintained full vitality.

He picked up his severed head, placed it back on the broken part of his neck, then twisted his neck 360 degrees, smiling as he looked at Xiao Jinxuan, and said:

"That was a really good move. I was almost killed by you, but unfortunately you were still one step behind."

It's true that the neck is a weak point for most creatures, and even he, as a celestial demon, was no exception.

Unfortunately, when Xuanyuan killed him, he also severed his neck, but because the cut was so swift, he did not die immediately, which gave him a chance to save himself.

In the end, in order to survive, he chose to refine his body, abandoning his physical form and giving all the life force of his body to his brain, making his brain the main body, thus stubbornly surviving.

Now he is being treated in the same way again, which truly makes him feel very sad.

"Now, you are at your wit's end. Considering your strength, I will give you two choices: chant my true name and join my Holy Clan to protect it, or die here."

Li Yu reached out and touched his cervical spine, slowly pulling out a long spear from it.

This was an imperial weapon he forged using his own spine and various divine materials. He hadn't used it before because he felt the other party wasn't worthy of making him draw his weapon, but now that he wanted to recruit the other party, he naturally had to demonstrate absolute strength.

The opponent's attack just now was truly amazing, which made him somewhat reluctant to kill the opponent. Besides, the opponent was an unlucky guy who had touched the threshold of the Great Dao but was born in this era, and was almost destined to become an emperor. In a sense, he posed no threat to him and was suitable to be a subordinate.

However, before that, it's necessary to make the other party understand the difference between the two.

Holding the imperial weapon, he aimed it at Xiao Jinxuan, his spirit and energy reaching their peak in an instant, and then he thrust out a strike.

Upon noticing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately reached out to her left, and a dark-colored alchemy furnace flew over from afar. However, the moment the imperial weapon landed in her hand, the opponent's attack had already reached her. She hurriedly used her spiritual power to defend herself and dodged to the side, allowing the attack to pierce through her left shoulder.

Despite the minor injury, she was not concerned about it at the moment, but instead examined the imperial weapon.

Just like when it left, the Imperial Weapon was in a fully charged state, filled with its own spiritual power, and could still be used even without spiritual power to drive it.

Using imperial weapons for defense can buy time, allowing one to recover spiritual power in the process.

However, even at his peak, he was not strong enough to deal with him. Now that the opponent was using an Emperor-level weapon, even if he recovered his spiritual power, it seemed he wouldn't have many options...

Ok?

Suddenly realizing there were other things inside the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace, she took out the contents and found a golden longsword and a note hidden inside.

—This is the Human Emperor Sword. I've already discussed it with this sword. You just need to find an opportunity to detonate this sword and kill him.

With it, there's no need to worry about any enemy.

—Bai Yi.

Upon seeing the note, Xiao Jinxuan was taken aback at first, then a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

"Thank you."

After uttering those two words in a barely audible voice, she disregarded her injuries, holding the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace in one hand and gripping the Human Emperor Sword tightly in the other, facing Li Yu, who stood opposite her.

Now, I have a move that can decide the outcome!

"The Xuanyuan Sword?!"

Upon noticing the sword Xiao Jinxuan had taken out, Li Yu immediately lost his composure, and could even be said to have lost his guard, because that sword meant a shameful past to him.

There's no need to recruit them anymore!

This woman must die!

Before he could act, he suddenly froze in place, for he saw the fire.

The Fire of the Primordial Mystery.

Chapter 46: Sacrifice one card from your hand! Summon an additional White Emperor!

Flames swept across the heavens and earth, threatening to destroy everything in their path.

She's planning to self-destruct her imperial weapon?!

How dare she do that!

"madman!"

Even though Li Yu was well-informed, he never expected this woman to be so ruthless. She had just summoned the Imperial Weapon and hadn't even started the battle yet, but she planned to detonate it in an attempt to severely injure or even kill him.

The power of an imperial weapon's self-destruction is something that ordinary people cannot withstand. Even a supreme being in a forbidden zone would be seriously injured if caught off guard by an imperial weapon's self-destruction. Let alone someone like myself who is now only one-tenth of my original strength!

Don't try to take it head-on!

If I accept this attack, I will surely die.

We must escape from here first. The opponent has already activated the essence of the Emperor Weapon. If he tries to stop the Emperor Weapon from self-destructing, he will inevitably suffer a backlash from that violent power. Once the opponent is weakened by the backlash from the Emperor Weapon, I can easily take him down when I return!

While his mind was contemplating this, his body was already taking action, intending to escape the opponent's attack range as quickly as possible.

As long as I can get out of here.

As long as we can escape from here, victory will be ours!

But...do I really want to run away?

Facing a Dao Integration Realm expert who hadn't even broken through to the Emperor Realm, how could he possibly rely on running away to weaken his opponent and achieve victory through such a despicable means?

His consciousness landed on the "Xuanyuan Sword" in Xiao Jinxuan's hand, and the humiliating memory of being defeated in the past and surviving only by faking his death surfaced in his mind.

To be defeated by the Yellow Emperor was nothing to be ashamed of; the Yellow Emperor was invincible, and losing to him was simply a matter of being less skilled.

But what if we lose to the opponent's successor...?

First he lost to the Yellow Emperor, then he lost to the successor who used the "Xuanyuan Sword". After that, he will lose to the other party's disciple. If he keeps losing, he will probably lose all face as the leader of the Holy Race!

In his view, since the woman in front of him could use the "Xuanyuan Sword", she was probably the master of the future empress Qiu Yuelian, and also the successor of Xuanyuan. Now he had to rely on running away to cheat his way to victory from the successor of Xuanyuan. How could he accept this!

How can a mighty emperor fear war!

"You overestimate yourself! How can an ant shake the earth! Even if I am severely injured and have to carry the entire Holy Race on my shoulders, I can still easily suppress you!"

If you're going to blow up that damn furnace, then I'll play along to the very end!

Once I kill you, seize the Xuanyuan Sword, and forge it into my imperial weapon, I will be able to directly control a portion of the human race's destiny, thereby recovering from my injuries in one fell swoop. When I return to the Emperor Realm in the future, the world will still be mine!

Therefore,

Looking at the overwhelming flames and the Tai Xuan Furnace that had already developed cracks, he immediately chose to sacrifice the imperial weapon in his hand and go all in with the opponent.

Then,

The heavens began to howl in fury.

Dark clouds covered the sky, a fierce wind blew, and rolling thunder vented its anger upon the world.

The natural disaster manifested at this moment, and instantly suppressed the opponent's Tai Xuan Fire.

Both were self-destructing imperial weapons. Since their power and grade were similar, the final decision on the outcome would be the user's own strength. Unfortunately, Li Yu's spiritual power was still very abundant, while Xiao Jinxuan was already exhausted and seriously injured. Not to mention, the quality of Li Yu's spiritual power was a level higher than Xiao Jinxuan's.

Therefore, this battle was destined to be his victory!

Meanwhile, Qiu Yuelian was in a rather bad mood.

An unknown supreme being was willing to break the seal to hunt him down, but fortunately the sect leader of the Xuan Tian Sect intervened in time, preventing him from dying immediately.

However, relying solely on Xiao Jinxuan's strength, she can at most hold her own against the opponent. If that unknown supreme being gets serious, she probably won't be able to hold out for long.

Qiu Yuelian, who was being protected by Xiao Jinxuan by being thrown into the enemy's Daoist archives, was pondering how to break the deadlock. She had already crushed the talisman that summoned her master, but the gap between the Supreme Realm and the Dao Integration Realm was simply too great. Increasing the number of people could not change the course of the battle at all. No one knew this better than her.
