Chapter 1275

Indeed, even after absorbing the Jing Essence of 36 million people, possessing the cultivation of the Dao Integration Realm, having a lucky draw like Extreme Essence, and even believing that victory was assured, the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor still meticulously prepared an escape route for himself—not to mention "Immortal Godhood" and many other life-extending Secret Method.

The Leopard King was not assigned to attack the Divine Pillar of the Su State. In the opinion of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor, it was better to unite their forces than to disperse them. After all, the intelligence said that both Divine Pillar had to be fully repaired at the same time for success. Theoretically, destroying one would be enough. Therefore, the task he assigned to the Leopard King was to help him escape.

The choice of Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor— preferring to sacrifice a vital combatant rather than compromise his own safety—was a reflection of his personality.

So, shortly after Si Ming also rushed into the Myriad Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Formation, the Leopard King appeared. She calmly circulated her inner energy.

They absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and transformed it into Savage Wilderness Vicious Qi, intending to break through the formation in one fell swoop. At that time, the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor would be able to escape at will—this kind of formation, which is internal, is undoubtedly much easier to break through from the outside.

"The Phoenix Rages, Dragon Rages!"

The Leopard King lightly treads the void, each step causing spatial tremors and ripples to spread outwards. At the same time, his arms move in a strange posture, stirring up a swirling gale.

The gale and the spatial oscillations resonated with each other, creating a chain reaction. Soon, crackling and exploding sounds continued incessantly, with unparalleled power and astonishing force. Accompanied by a deafening roar like thunder, the bursting gale tornado swept towards the sword formation with the momentum to shatter everything.

Just as the gale-force tornado was about to collide with the sword formation, a green figure rushed over, the Seven Ingenious Spirit Heart Staff in his hand spinning rapidly, gathering water essence to form a barrier.

"Mire Scours and Refines the Turbid Marsh!"

The one who made the move was Si Huaruo, who was wearing the Azure Dragon Profound Armor. She had already fully charged up her power on her way here, so she launched her ultimate move at the first moment. The water barrier she set up covered the four directions of the world, and with the gentle posture of the Dao giving birth to all things, it contained the gale tornado that was like a raging sea, while dissolving spiritual power.

In an instant, the void trembled and churned like a raging storm, and the turbulent air currents spread outwards like transparent water ripples. Every time the gale-force winds surged forward by one foot, they were weakened by one point.

However, the Leopard King possessed the cultivation of the Void Returning Realm, and Si Huaruo acted hastily, leaving her insufficient space to unleash her power. Before the gale tornado reached the sword formation, it could at most dissipate 30% of the spiritual energy.

But Si Huaruo didn't show any panic. She turned around and shouted back in the direction she came from, "Hurry up, or you'll bump into me!"

In the blink of an eye, a blade imbued with unparalleled domineering power swept across the heavens and earth, cleaving apart the weakened gale tornado with a single strike.

"All sins gather in desolation, and the Heavenly Sin Separation!"

A red figure descended beside Si Huaruo, clad in Vermilion Bird Profound Armor and wielding the Purple Primal Emperor Slash's Hongdou, Hong Dou.

"We didn't crash, did we? I calculated the distance beforehand, I just didn't expect you to be such a coward."

The one who retorted was not Hongdou, but the Primordial Spirit of Si Jingyu that was attached to her.

"I know you're a coward. You clearly wanted to see me make a fool of myself. I guessed what you were thinking a long time ago, that's why..."

"So calm and composed."

"Hmph, you're just pretending to be calm. I knew you'd suspect I had such thoughts, so I acted first. Otherwise, I would have waited until you were hit before coming to your rescue."

"Tch, you think I wouldn't dodge? I knew you'd guess I suspected you had this idea, so I deliberately tried to trick you, but I didn't expect you to take the bait so easily."

While the two were bickering, their actions were not affected at all. Si Huaruo used the ultimate technique of "Heavenly One River Diagram" to restrain and weaken the Leopard King with various means, so that he could only exert 70% of his instincts. Meanwhile, Si Jingyu controlled Hongdou's body and used the Monster Race's ultimate technique "Fierce Spirit Art" to unleash the domineering power of the Purple Primal Emperor Slash.

The two had been fighting since childhood, so their tacit understanding was self-evident. Now, with the aid of the Profound Armor, they could fly and maneuver freely, and could also fire a beam cannon from time to time. When they joined forces, they steadily suppressed the Leopard King, making it impossible for him to destroy the Jade Stone.

Seeing this, the Eagle King and Crocodile King panicked and tried to rush to their aid, but it was too late.

A Hero Roams the Jianghu Without Regret!

Within the Myriad Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Formation, Murong Qing unleashed a sword technique that had just been born into this world. He felt all his strength drained away, and immediately collapsed to the ground.

The move that Yan Jinghong comprehended on the spot was based on "Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars". Therefore, once the sword light was unleashed, it merged seamlessly into Si Ming's move, relieving some of the pressure brought by the Extreme Essence energy.

Si Ming suddenly felt his body lighten, and the feeling of weakness that made his body feel like it was about to fall apart disappeared. He immediately squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body and successfully blocked the ultimate move of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor.

Once this most difficult step is completed, the subsequent three steps flow smoothly like water, transforming, strengthening, and returning in one go!

The destructive white light formed by the Extreme Essence pushed back, and the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor, who was exhausted, looked surprised. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he was swallowed up by the white light before he could leave a single word.

The power of the Extreme Essence is self-evident. Ten Thousand Canopy Witch Ancestor was wiped out on the spot, without even a drop of blood left behind. Even if he possessed the ability of super regeneration, he could not create something from nothing.

"It's finally over... What a long battle."

Si Ming let out a long breath and realized that the Wheel-Turning King Sword was on the verge of breaking. He quickly withdrew the Tathagata Tathagata's Indestructible Body. Just as he was about to celebrate the victory with Murong Qing, he found that the latter had collapsed to the ground. He quickly went up and picked her up.

"You're alright... but your Internal Cultivation is gone! Was it because of that last move?"

Upon closer inspection, Si Ming discovered that Murong Qing had lost all her martial arts skills.

"We've lost our cultivation, so we can just start over. Anyway, the Remote Heaven Society is dead, so it's unlikely anyone will cause trouble for a long time. We have plenty of time to cultivate slowly."

Murong Qing quite open-minded, her tone showing no regret whatsoever, displaying a magnanimous attitude.

A moment later, Murong Wu rushed over, glanced at the scene, and anxiously asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, which of you was the one who ultimately killed the enemy?"

His face was filled with regret and helplessness; he was afraid to hear the answer, yet dared not disobey, lest the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor have already possessed him...

"Little Wu, how dare you conceal such important intelligence? If this were war, your actions would constitute concealing military information, and you should be executed according to the law!" Murong Qing criticized sternly.

"Huh?" Murong Wu was taken aback upon hearing this.

Si Ming smiled and said, "Yu Shuying has already told us about the 'Gu God Immortality,' which is why your sister risked setting up the Myriad Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Formation to sever the connection between the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor and the outside world. I also painstakingly guided him step by step, and finally used 'Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars, and Moving the Constellations' to end him, achieving the condition of 'killing himself,' thus rendering 'Immortal Gu God' ineffective."

If it weren't for the need to completely sever the life force of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor and prevent any possibility of life-extending parasitism, Si Ming wouldn't have thought of rebounding the Extreme Essence. After all, doing so was far too risky. Just now, the situation almost collapsed, and the reversal was only possible thanks to Murong Qing's final One Sword, which was mostly due to luck.

In comparison, using the Four Swords of Time to wear down the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor one move at a time is undoubtedly much safer. Even if Murong Qing is exhausted, Si Ming can take over the Sacred Sword and perform a dual-sword style.

"I see, that's wonderful..."

Murong Wu felt a sense of happiness, as if he had survived a calamity. The thought that he didn't have to harm his own people brought tears to his eyes.

"It's not that I'm trying to criticize you, but you should trust your companions more, instead of only thinking about sacrificing yourself... Hey, why are you crying?"
