Princess Long Ji

Princess Long Ji!

Li Su instantly recognized the cold, transcendent woman in white.

Rumor had it she was the daughter of Yaochi Jinmu, banished to the mortal realm for some reason. She later became a disciple of Yu Ding Zhenren, possessing profound cultivation and divine swordsmanship, holding immense prestige among the second-generation disciples of Kunlun Mountain.

He hadn't expected her to suddenly appear on the battlefield of Ten Thousand Witch City, and seemingly to offer support specifically? Was it on her master's orders? Yu Ding Zhenren's command?

"Many thanks for your aid, Senior Sister Long Ji!" Li Su suppressed his doubts and quickly bowed in thanks.

Her cultivation far surpassed his, and they were from the same sect (both registered disciples of Jade Void Palace), so calling her Senior Sister was entirely appropriate.

Princess Long Ji nodded slightly, her cold gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield. Her voice was calm but carried an undeniable authority:

"By the decree of my Master and the Sect Leader, the Primordial World's tribulation has begun. Disciples of Jade Void Palace must enter the world to temper themselves and aid the common folk.

This city and the Witch Clan are not fated to perish here."

Before her words had even finished, the autumn-water-like sword in her hand hummed again, and an unparalleled, sharp sword energy swept out, instantly reducing dozens of charging demon soldiers around her to dust!

The pure Jade Clarity Celestial Light contained within the sword energy had a strong restraining effect on demonic and evil energies.

The Peak Celestial Immortal demon general, clutching his broken arm, stared at Long Ji in horror and shouted, "Jade Void Palace! Are you interfering in the feud between our Demon Race and the Witch Clan?!"

"Under the Heavenly Dao, all is predetermined. Your actions have gone too far, harming the harmony of heaven and earth. You should cease your aggression."

Princess Long Ji's voice remained cold, but her sword showed no mercy. Its light split into thousands, attacking the demon general like a storm, suppressing him completely and putting him in grave danger.

With the addition of the powerful support from Long Ji, especially her Jade Clarity Celestial Sword techniques that specialized in countering demons and evil, the tide of the battle immediately turned.

With her and her sword alone, she tied down several demon generals of Celestial Immortal and even True Immortal levels within the demon army, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Witch Clan.

Seeing this, Li Su's spirits soared, and he no longer held back, unleashing his newly promoted Celestial Immortal cultivation to its fullest!

The Chaos Star Evil Power surged, and his newly comprehended spiritual powers were unleashed one after another!

"Chaos Lightning Evil!" The bamboo branches moved, and dark purple Chaos Lightning raged through the demon ranks like angry dragons, leaving behind scorched demon soldiers wherever it passed! "Stellar Evil Sky-Rending Thrust!"

The Soul-Devouring Dark Light, infused with Chaos power, became even more bizarre and unpredictable, specifically targeting the weaknesses of demon generals, making it impossible to defend against!

He even attempted to miniaturize formations, setting up small trapping and killing sword formations with bamboo leaves, supplemented by the transformations of the Eight Nine Mysterious Art for surprise attacks, his combat power astonishing!

He and Princess Long Ji, one at range and one in close combat, one using techniques and the other martial prowess, though cooperating for the first time, showed a subtle synergy. Long Ji's sword light focused on attacking powerful demon generals and clearing out large numbers of demon soldiers;

Li Su, on the other hand, moved around the flanks, filling in gaps, focusing on eliminating commanders and spellcasters, and disrupting the army's formation with his formations.

The Witch Clan warriors of the Houtu Tribe, seeing this, were filled with immense morale, roaring as they launched a counter-charge, forming a pincer attack with the two of them!

The battle at the breach in the city walls also stabilized with Yang Jian's arrival.

Yang Jian activated the divine eye between his brows, his divine powers vast, his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade unstoppable. He specifically sought out the commander of the demon army, a Demon Master hidden among the high-ranking demon generals, and they fought to a standstill.

In the high heavens, the powerful experts of the Witch Clan, seeing the arrival of reinforcements from Jade Void Palace, were also greatly invigorated, fiercely engaging the True Immortal and Golden Immortal great demons of the Demon Race.

The battle seemed to be developing in favor of the Witch Clan!

However, in the deepest part of the demon clouds, those few terrifying auras, comparable to Peak Golden Immortals, which had never truly acted, finally could not hold back.

"Hmph! A junior from Jade Void Palace dares to interfere! Do you think my Demon Race has no one?!" A cold, hoarse voice swept across the battlefield like a chilling wind, freezing the very souls of those who heard it.

A massive claw, covered in pitch-black scales, suddenly emerged from the depths of the demon clouds, ignoring spatial distance, and lunged directly at Princess Long Ji, who was slaughtering her way through the enemy!

The power of this claw far surpassed all previous attacks, containing terrifying law power, locking down all space around Long Ji!

A Peak Golden Immortal great demon, acting personally!

Princess Long Ji's expression instantly turned extremely grave. With a clear shout, the Jade Clarity Celestial Light around her surged, and the sword in her hand transformed into a world-shattering rainbow, meeting the black claw!

At the same time, an ancient jade mirror flew out from her embrace, casting down streaks of clear light to protect her body.

BOOM! The sword rainbow collided with the claw! Jade Clarity Celestial Light and demonic energy fiercely eroded and annihilated each other!

Princess Long Ji's delicate body trembled violently, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth as she was sent flying backward. The jade mirror also let out a mournful cry, its light dimming as it flew back into her body.

The gap was too vast! Celestial Immortal and Peak Golden Immortal, separated by an insurmountable chasm!

The black claw paused only slightly before lunging again, determined to crush this troublesome disciple of Jade Void!

"Senior Sister, be careful!" Li Su's eyes widened in fury as he saw this. Without hesitation, he activated his Profound Star Swirl Body Protection, which had only partially recovered its strength, and charged in front of Long Ji, attempting to shield her!

Simultaneously, he frantically circulated the Bedrock Rune and that faint Holy Light Protection, even drawing upon the ancient power within him, obtained from the resonance of Buzhou!

"An ant trying to shake a tree!" A disdainful cold snort came from the demon clouds. The claw's speed did not decrease but instead increased!

At this critical juncture, another change occurred!

A gentle yet immensely vast clear light suddenly descended from beyond the heavens, arriving after the claw but reaching it first, lightly brushing against the black claw!

There was no earth-shattering explosion. The seemingly terrifying claw, like ice and snow meeting the sun, instantly melted and disintegrated. Along with it came a muffled groan and an enraged roar from the demon clouds:

"World-Cleansing Divine Light?! Cihang Daoren!"

As the clear light dispersed, a female Daoist nun, dressed in white, holding a Jade Purification Bottle, with a compassionate and gentle face, silently appeared before Long Ji and Li Su, exuding a tranquil and peaceful, yet unfathomably deep aura.

"Fellow Daoist Demon Master, bullying the young is beneath your dignity,"

Cihang Daoren's voice was gentle but clearly carried across the battlefield, "This matter ends here. You demons, retreat."

Her appearance seemed to possess a strange magic. The battlefield, which had been filled with the sounds of slaughter, momentarily fell silent.

Whether witch or demon, all felt a sense of inner peace and tranquility, their killing intent receding.

Deep within the demon clouds, those few terrifying auras fluctuated violently. They were clearly shocked and enraged, but they were also extremely wary of Cihang Daoren.

After a few moments of silence, the cold voice spoke again, filled with unwillingness. "Fine! Well done, Jade Void Palace! My Demon Race will remember today's events! Retreat!"

As the order was given, endless demon soldiers and generals retreated like a tide, quickly disappearing into the vast demon clouds and fleeing into the distance.

Ten Thousand Witch City was saved!

The surviving witch warriors erupted in cheers and tears of relief.

Li Su let out a long sigh, his entire body feeling weak. He had faced the attack of a Golden Immortal just now. Although Cihang Daoren had blocked it, the terrifying pressure still left him with lingering fear.

He looked at the benevolent and serene figure before him and bowed respectfully. "This junior, Mo Xing, pays respects to Martial Uncle Cihang (Disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, should be addressed as Martial Uncle)."

Cihang Daoren turned, her gentle gaze falling on Li Su. She nodded slightly. "You are Mo Xing?

Your innate talent is extraordinary, your fortune is deep, and you fought for survival amidst calamity. Very good." She then looked at Long Ji, who had finished her recuperation. "Long Ji, are you unharmed?"

"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for your timely rescue. This disciple is fine," Long Ji replied respectfully.

At this moment, Yang Jian had also finished dealing with his opponent and flew over, bowing to Cihang Daoren.

Cihang Daoren said to the three of them, "The great tribulation has begun, and karma is accumulating. Though your actions today were in accordance with destiny, you have also forged karma. You must be even more cautious when traveling the Primordial World from now on.

Long Ji, Yang Jian, you two will return to the mountain with me to report. Mo Xing..."

She looked at Li Su, pondered for a moment, and took out a willow leaf, handing it to him. "Your path is unique. My master said you may train on your own.

This is a leaf from my Jade Purification Bottle, containing a trace of world-cleansing vitality. It can heal injuries, protect your life, and purify malevolent spirits. I hope you will make good use of it."

Li Su took the emerald green, vibrant willow leaf, which exuded immense vitality and purifying power, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Martial Uncle, for your generous gift!"

Cihang Daoren nodded and said no more. Auspicious clouds rose beneath her feet, and she took Long Ji and Yang Jian, transforming into a clear light as they departed.

Li Su watched in the direction they disappeared, then looked at the devastated Ten Thousand Witch City and the exhausted but joyful witch compatriots. He clenched the willow leaf in his hand.

He had only caught a glimpse of the cruelty of the Primordial World's great tribulation today. And his future path seemed even more magnificent and tumultuous.
