Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi's loud and forceful words seemed to be spoken for all those lurking in the shadows.

As his voice fell, Li Guanqi, carrying Zhao Pei's corpse, abruptly nailed him to the ground outside the Great Xia Sword Sect's mountain gate!

Bang!!

The ensuing battle held no suspense; Great Xia Sword Sect disciples crushed all the demonic cultivators with overwhelming force!

Many elders and peak masters ceased direct combat, only occasionally intervening to rescue disciples.

Wu Bing even instructed the remaining disciples to crush Burst Spirit Pills in their mouths, experiencing the pill's power and side effects.

He wanted them to deeply remember the sensation, so they would clearly understand their limits when facing enemies in the future.

Li Guanqi, however, stood quietly in mid-air.

His mere presence was an immeasurable source of encouragement for the Great Xia Sword Sect disciples.

Gradually, the demonic energy sealing barrier began to shatter and collapse.

Li Guanqi, gazing at the moonlit, starry sky, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Daoyan and Qin Xian arrived at Li Guanqi's side, Qin Xian speaking with visible concern.

"Are you alright?"

Li Guanqi looked at the familiar old man and slightly shook his head, softly replying, "I'm fine."

"By the way, Elder Qin, is Tantai Yiting's body still there?"

Ling Daoyan frowned, "It's still there, but it's charred black from your burning, can't really make anything out."

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes, turning to look at the woman confined by Xi Yunhuai, and coldly said,

"I'll go check on Tantai Yiting's body first; I'll trouble you two elders to keep an eye on things here."

Finishing his sentence, Li Guanqi nodded slightly towards Nangong Qianyan, Tu Zhongqiu, and Gong Ze.

His eyes flickered as a strange idea crossed his mind.

Flashing to the Great Xia Sword Sect's Demon Suppression Ground, he took a deep breath and looked directly into the abyss.

Raising his hand, he used the power of thunder to completely seal the abyss's entrance.

He lifted Tantai Yiting's corpse into his hand, and a terrifying power swept out.

Thunder crackled as a jet-black, demonic energy-filled crystal emerged from between Tantai Yiting's eyebrows.

The demonic crystal was as black as an ink pool, diamond-shaped, and only slightly larger than a fingernail.

Li Guanqi held the demonic crystal with icy cold eyes; such a small thing could allow someone's strength to increase by leaps and bounds.

Suddenly!!!

Screams rang out in Li Guanqi's ears, one after another!!

An extremely terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the world!!

A slender man, wearing a pure black, gold-embroidered brocade robe, slowly walked out from a void rift.

The man was handsome, with a charming aura about his face.

Behind the man, a beautiful woman in a black dress emerged, followed closely by a figure that Li Guanqi had longed to see!!!!

The young man had gray-white hair, an empty left sleeve, and his right hand was completely hidden beneath a black robe.

His face was mostly obscured by hair, and he stood behind the man with his head lowered.

Everyone was stunned, Qin Xian tremulously asking, "Ye Feng?"

Boom!!!

Ling Daoyan had somehow arrived behind the God-Slaying Ballista, his upper body robe torn, revealing his muscular torso.

His arms burst with blood mist, his bloodshot eyes wide with fury, desperately pulling the bowstring.

The God-Slaying Ballista's arrow, as thick as an arm and flashing with mysterious golden patterns, instantly shot out!!!

"Shā!!!!!!!"

Even though the opponent had changed his appearance, the old man was still convinced that the charming man before him was Shā!

Ling Daoyan roared angrily, pulling the first bowstring before moving to the second.

But the old man's physical strength wouldn't allow him to continue; his arms were tearing, but he stubbornly tried to pull the string.

However, just then, large hands suddenly grasped the bowstring!!

Wu Bing, Qin Xian, Gong Ze, Nangong Qianyan, and Tu Zhongqiu!!

Each hand instantly pulled the bowstring!!

Bang! Bang!!

Two thick arrows shot out almost one after the other.

Lutian wore a mocking smile, slowly extending a slender finger to tap the tip of the arrow.

Boom!!!!

Boundless black demonic energy instantly devoured the spear-like arrow.

The God-Slaying Ballista, once a deterrent to many, was so laughable before him.

Li Guanqi made a single-handed gesture, instantly taking the six spirit swords floating behind Wu Bing into his hand!

Boom!!!!

With a ferocious expression, Li Guanqi instantly grasped the Tianjin Peak's spirit-treasure-level sword, and with a flash, shot toward Shā!!

Lutian wore a playful smile, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surrounding void, wisps of eerie green flames still leaking out.

"Heh, you're really here quickly..."

Li Guanqi's killing intent soared as he looked at the unconcerned Shā, and cracks instantly spread across the sword in his hand!!!

Under the violent power, Li Guanqi once again swallowed a Burst Spirit Pill and a Comprehension Pill!!!

Boom!!!

Li Guanqi's aura instantly climbed to the Half-Step Mahayana Realm!!

"Die for me!!!!!"

"Heavenly Revelation · Sword Drawing Stance · Dim Moon!!!"

Boom!!

The sky and earth changed color, a gale rose, and thunder exploded!!!

Myriad bolts of lightning descended from the sky, a scene as if the heavens were angered, unleashing countless penal thunderbolts!

Li Guanqi's God's Punishment Art was operating at its limit, the terrifying Yuan energy almost transforming into thunder dragons rampaging within his body.

Shā still stood with his hands behind his back, not moving, his eyes even more playful.

The terrifying thunder sword light shot out at an almost invisible speed.

Suddenly!!!

Ye Feng, who had been standing behind Shā, suddenly moved.

His severed left sleeve fluttered in the air, his black right hand, half of his face covered in a black ghost mask...

Ye Feng, wielding the Wrathful Slaughter Sword, instantly stood between Li Guanqi and Lutian!!

Dong! Boom!!!!

Li Guanqi's eyes widened, looking at this scene in disbelief.

The youth's icy gaze was frosty, looking at him with coldness and no emotion.

Li Guanqi's heart suddenly sank, but he still forcibly withdrew thirty percent of his strength before the sword light landed.

Immediately after, an aura of countless breaths erupted, a black-gold mixed sword light instantly spreading out!!

A demonic energy-entwined golden tiger phantom appeared above the sword light, its terrifying power comparable to Li Guanqi's full-force strike!!

The violent roar was deafening, almost overturning the sky!!!

The aftermath of the explosion directly blasted the Great Xia Sword Sect members hundreds of feet away, everyone retreating to the Great Xia Sword Sect's territory.

Xi Yunhuai stood alone in front of everyone, his expression extremely solemn, and with a wave of his hand, he repaired the previously shattered sect formation.

Li Guanqi's robes fluttered in the shockwaves, the long sword in his hand emitting a wail before turning into specks of fragments.

Li Guanqi held the hilt of the sword, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Ye Feng, his heart aching as he looked at the other's expressionless face.

Li Guanqi clenched his fist and fiercely pounded his chest, staring at Ye Feng as he tremulously asked,

"Ye Lao Er... why...?"
