Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The moment this stream of light fell, Lu Kangnian's expression drastically changed.

Without time to explain to the others, he instantly disappeared from the spot.

Boom!!

An incomparably powerful pressure erupted suddenly, Lu Kangnian alone holding his sword straight towards the firmament!!

Many disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect were awakened by the commotion and looked up at the sky.

They saw Sect Leader Lu Kangnian, wrapped in a tyrannical pressure, sword energy crisscrossing around him, and an earthy yellow sword light flickering incessantly.

His entire being was like a sharp sword heading straight for the firmament!!

The stream of light falling from the sky was like a fire dragon, dragging a hundred-zhang-long tail of flames straight down.

Lu Kangnian's face was stern, and many elders and peak masters of the sect soared into the air.

Qin Xian ordered the activation of the sect's protective formation.

The sword light collided with the stream of light.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar rang out, Lu Kangnian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell from mid-air.

And that stream of light finally revealed itself, merely an ancient, fiery red jade slip.

The jade slip's falling momentum was only slightly hindered; after blasting Lu Kangnian away, it forcibly smashed through the Great Xia Sword Sect's protective formation.

The formation shattered with a bang, and the jade slip shot towards the main hall of the sect.

However, at that moment, the Thunder Spirit Sword, originally suspended on the summit of Heavenly Sword Peak, instantly shot out!!

Whoosh!!!!

The hundred-zhang spirit sword forcibly withstood the remaining force of the jade slip's descent.

Waves of aftershocks rippled out in all directions.

For a time, the entire Great Xia Sword Sect territory was as if a hurricane had passed through, the forests rustling.

The clouds surrounding the high mountains were instantly blown away.

Many airborne disciples swayed and nearly fell from mid-air.

Finally, the jade slip fell, landing like a ball of fire in the sect's plaza.

The Thunder Spirit Sword returned to its position, like a sea-stabilizing needle, and after the crisis was resolved, it once again hovered atop Heavenly Sword Peak.

This scene deeply shocked all the sect's elders and disciples.

This was the first time that hundred-zhang Thunder Sword had defended against an enemy after Li Guanqi and the others had left their respective powers!

Lu Kangnian teleported to the surroundings of the plaza, raised his hand to set up a layer of earthy yellow, powerful barrier.

His face was grave as he said in a cold voice.

"No one is allowed to approach this place!"

As soon as his voice fell, all the elders immediately maintained order and led the sect disciples away by more than a thousand zhang.

Lu Kangnian then walked cautiously into the barrier alone.

Lu Kangnian swallowed nervously, but resolutely walked towards the jade slip.

The jade slip was as big as an arm, completely different from the usual palm-sized jade slips.

The flames burning on it caused the surrounding hundred-zhang space to be slightly distorted, and it was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

At this time, Qin Xian couldn't help but frown and said.

"Sect Leader, why don't... we inform Guanqi?"

Lu Kangnian shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"The Great Xia Sword Sect is a home, not a burden."

"I don't want to trouble him with everything."

"The Seventh Domain... none of us know how hard his life is."

"You must remember, we are the ones who need to stand behind all the disciples, not to burden them with everything we encounter!"

As soon as his voice fell, many sect elders and peak masters looked stern.

Over the years, the Great Xia Sword Sect had been smooth sailing, and even their inner thoughts had undergone some subtle changes.

Lu Kangnian knew that this kind of thing was inevitable, but he still had to knock them into shape.

Taking a deep breath, surging Yuan Power formed a thick Yuan Power barrier on the surface of his body, and he walked towards the jade slip step by step.

One step, two steps…

The scorching temperature made Lu Kangnian's whole body covered in sweat.

The scorching temperature caused the surrounding space to begin to collapse and crack.

A crack as thin as a hair suddenly appeared on the jade slip!

Lu Kangnian did not notice this abnormality.

Suddenly!!

Lu Kangnian stopped when he was three feet away from the jade slip.

The fiery red jade slip shone brightly, and then a cold corpse was thrown out!!

The Heavenly Fire Peak Peak Master's expression suddenly changed.

"Yun Ting!!"

A disciple of Heavenly Fire Peak...

Lu Kangnian squatted down to check and found that the youth's internal organs had all been burned to ashes!!

His entire body was like an empty shell...

Such cruel methods made Lu Kangnian's eyes crack with anger!!

However, at this moment, Lu Kangnian suddenly felt a chill down his spine, a chill rushing to the top of his head!

He saw that the jade slip was already covered with cracks at some point.

Without thinking, Lu Kangnian grabbed the corpse on the ground and flew backwards!!

But his movements were still a bit slow.

The scorching and majestic flames erupted suddenly, engulfing Lu Kangnian in the blink of an eye!!

"Sect Leader!!!"

"Not good! Stop this power!!"

"Sect Leader Lu!!"

Accompanied by everyone's panicked shouts, the crimson flames almost instantly covered the entire earthy yellow barrier.

The barrier made a cracking sound of being unable to bear the weight for even a moment.

Just as everyone thought that this force would instantly break through the barrier and destroy the main hall of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

An incomparably powerful sealing force suddenly appeared.

In an instant, the world changed, the wind howled, and thousands of thunderbolts fell towards the sect's plaza from the heavy clouds!!

The man whose robes had been burned away stared blankly at the figure in front of him.

The slender man was wearing a white robe.

With one hand, he blocked the endless flames in front of him.

Li Guanqi's face was frosty, and the moment he clenched his left hand, the endless flames began to be suppressed by his power and began to gather.

Finally, it turned into a ball of fire and was thrown into Dan Peak by Li Guanqi.

However, at this moment, the remaining flames gathered into a line of large characters above the firmament.

"After seven thousand years of hard cultivation, Duan Xian has come to seek revenge!!"

Only this sentence, and then the flame aura disappeared.

Peng Luo drilled out of the void, shook her head with a solemn expression.

"I can't find any trace of the other party."

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Lu Kangnian and bowed.

"Guanqi greets Sect Leader."

The surrounding crowd bowed to Li Guanqi!

"Greetings, Great Elder!"

"Greetings, Great Elder!"

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, then exchanged glances with Lu Kangnian, his eyes flashing, obviously already knowing what had happened.

Lu Kangnian dragged the corpse and said in a deep voice.

"Let's go back to the main hall first."

This time, only the higher-ups of the Great Xia Sword Sect were in the main hall.

Li Guanqi sat in the lower seat, his eyes slightly closed, his hand resting on the body of the dead disciple.

The moment he opened his eyes, his face became extremely gloomy.

"This disciple... was burned alive."

"His internal organs and flesh and blood were all turned into ashes, and he was... tortured to death."

"His soul is shattered, obviously the other party has used secret techniques to search his soul and learned a lot of information."

Li Guanqi actually had one more sentence that he didn't say.

He suspected that the other party was a Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator!

Because he sensed a trace of the aura of the Fire Law!!
