A Half-Saint Slain with a Glance
"Bang!"
In the sky, three figures flashed past each other like lightning, and terrifying ripples of Dou Qi spread out in a ring shape.
Within a radius of a thousand meters, no powerful figure dared to set foot inside. Such terrifying fluctuations were enough to shred a Dou Zun Expert into blood and gore.
"Snort!"
The figures jostled each other, and all three stumbled back several steps. Where their feet landed, even the space around them collapsed, creating a large area of darkness.
Steadying herself, Azure Fairy's once charming face was now as white as a sheet of paper, her body stained with blood.
"Heh heh, Azure Fairy, why don't you surrender? You don't want the Flower Sect to be destroyed, do you?"
Having steadied himself, the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon suppressed the Qi and Blood within his body, looked at the pale-faced Azure Fairy not far away, and threatened her.
"What a pipe dream!"
"Heavenly Underworld Old Demon, stop talking nonsense and give her a chance to catch her breath. She can't hold on much longer!" Ghost Li said coldly, his eyes filled with malice.
"Um."
The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon changed his hand seals, and a vast amount of gray Dou Qi surged out from his body, eventually condensing into a huge phantom a hundred feet tall behind him. This phantom had no real face, but it exuded an extremely terrifying Aura.
"Sky Nether Palm!"
The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon unleashed a powerful palm strike towards the Azure Fairy, while the enormous phantom behind him moved in unison, its massive hand bringing with it a chillingly powerful gust of wind and sonic booms as it slammed down fiercely towards the Azure Fairy.
Sensing the terrifying energy gathered on the illusory palm, Azure Fairy dared not be negligent. Her Dou Qi surged rapidly, eventually transforming into a ten-zhang sword beam that clashed heavily with the illusory palm wind.
"Bang!"
The two collided, and a thunderous explosion resounded through the sky. A terrifying storm of Dou Qi swept out from the point of impact, directly shattering a nearby mountain peak into dust.
The Dou Qi aura storm spread out, and even the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon was affected. He retreated hastily, his Aura slightly catching in his throat, and his already fair face turned even paler.
Heavenly Underworld Old Demon was not in a good position, let alone the already disadvantaged Azure Fairy. Her Qi and Blood were shaken and churned. Before she could suppress it, she heard Ghost Li's voice.
"Heh heh, what a great opportunity!"
The sound sent a chill down Azure Fairy's spine, and her movements slowed for a second. Instantly, a ghostly figure appeared behind her, striking her hard on the back with a palm.
"Pfft!"
The sudden attack left half of Azure Fairy's body numb, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body fell to the ground and crashed heavily onto the main peak plaza, causing huge cracks to spread out and eventually engulf half of the mountain.
Many powerful members of the Flower Sect sank upon witnessing this scene. Azure Fairy was the strongest member of the Flower Sect; if even she were to be defeated, the Flower Sect's morale would undoubtedly collapse.
"People of the Flower Sect, Hua Qing has already been defeated. If you still wish to resist, I wouldn't hesitate to wipe you all out in blood!"
After knocking down Azure Fairy, the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon stepped into the void, his sinister gaze sweeping across the room, and his cold shout filled with killing intent resounded in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing the cold shout from the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon, everyone within the Flower Realm froze, and most of the Flower Sect's experts wore expressions of gloom and despair...
"You're dreaming if you think my Flower Sect will surrender!"
Splendid Fairy was engaged in a fierce battle with another Half-Saint from the Hall of Souls when she heard Heavenly Underworld Old Demon's words. She quickly broke free from her opponent and stood in front of Heavenly Underworld Old Demon and the others.
"A mere Intermediate Half-Saint dares to refuse a toast and drink a forfeit! Since you're courting death, then die!"
The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon's eyes flashed with malice, and he once again conjured a phantom in his hand. The enormous palm, accompanied by chilling sonic booms, slammed down fiercely towards Splendid Fairy.
Because her eldest sister was below her, Splendid Fairy did not dodge. Instead, she formed a Dou Qi barrier in front of her, intending to withstand the attack head-on.
The difference between Intermediate Half-Saint and Advanced Ban Sheng is enormous. Although Splendid Fairy gave it her all, she could only hold out for three seconds before gradually losing her grip.
Looking at the giant hand so close to her, Splendid Fairy couldn't help but feel a pang of grief and indignation.
"Damn it! Is my Flower Sect going to perish today?!"
"Boom!"
The Dou Qi barrier shattered with a crash, Splendid Fairy could only watch helplessly as the giant hand slammed down on her.
Laugh!
Suddenly, a small spatial rift appeared in front of her, and a slender hand reached out from it, easily annihilating the giant hand with a gentle grasp.
"What's going on? Who dares to interfere in the affairs of my Styx Alliance and the Hall of Souls!"
The sudden turn of events caused both Heavenly Underworld Old Demon and Ghost Li to change their expressions, and they said...
The moment their shouts fell, the crack suddenly burst open, and an overwhelming Aura, filled with immense pressure, spread out like lightning!
"This Saint Xiao Ming!"
Sensing this overwhelming Aura of majesty, the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon and Ghost Li, who were suspended in the sky, instantly froze. A deep sense of horror surged onto their faces, and their incredulous screams echoed through the sky.
"Xiao Ming, the Lord of Heavenly Court? How is that possible?! Shouldn't you be in Holy Pill City?!"
Amidst countless horrified gazes, the crack widened, and a White-clothed Youth stepped out, appearing before everyone's eyes.
"Xiao Ming?!"
"Is that Xiao Ming from the Pill Tower? Could it be that the Pill Tower has come to rescue us!"
"Xiao Ming was able to kill Dou Sheng more than a year ago, we're saved!"
Upon seeing that familiar figure, exclamations filled with different emotions rang out in the Flower Realm. The people of the Flower Sect were overjoyed, while the people of the Styx Alliance were horrified.
In the entire Flower Realm, all battles ceased at this moment, as countless gazes, some fervent and some filled with fear, were fixed on the figure emerging from the spatial rift.
Under that terrifying pressure, even a Dou Zun Expert felt his mind tremble. This pressure was several times stronger than that of Advanced Ban Sheng experts like Heavenly Underworld Old Demon!
"How could it be Xiao Ming! The Heavenly Court has only just been established, shouldn't he be handling affairs in Holy Pill City? And how did he break through to become a true Dou Sheng?!" The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon's face twitched involuntarily.
"He might be here to win over the Flower Sect!" Ghost Li's eyes flashed wildly, and he was speechless with frustration. How unlucky they were!
"Hehe, you guys are quite well-informed. You found out about the Heavenly Court not long after its establishment." Xiao Ming smiled slightly at Heavenly Underworld Old Demon and Ghost Li.
To the two men, that gentle smile seemed like a vengeful ghost, their faces stiffening. They had never imagined the situation would suddenly turn out this way.
"Run!"
Ghost Li was the first to give in. With a shout, he quickly turned around, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he hurtled towards the spatial rift from which they had come. Behind him, Heavenly Underworld Old Demon and the Hall of Souls Half-Saint also hurriedly followed.
"Are you sure you can leave?"
Seeing the three's actions, Xiao Ming shook his head slightly, his eyes gleaming. His powerful Soul Power transformed into white light in a peculiar way and shot out, instantly catching up with the three.
"Ah!"
The three of them trembled, let out a scream, and then plummeted from the sky.
Xiao Ming grabbed at the void with his palm, and the three bodies flew back, finally floating around him.
