Blade Severed the Body, Intent Shattered the Soul, a Strike Upon the Mind

In the Jinliu Mountain where the Dong Clan was located, countless Dong Clan family members appeared somewhat flustered at this moment. The moment the attack took place in the distance behind the mountain, the powerful aura was terrifying.

Some of the powerful members of the Dong Clan also swallowed hard. They knew better what that was: the power of heaven and earth, a realm on par with their ancestor.

The valley behind the mountain is a forbidden area of the Dong Clan, and also the residence of Dong Xuanfeng, the ancestor of the Dong Clan's Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

An aged figure stood outside the valley, looking at the battlefield where the three were, and murmured in astonishment.

"The Cold Spirit Scripture, the Moon Stroking Hand, and that Shun Tian Great Axe —there's no mistake."

"How could these two people still be alive? And both of them have reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm?"

This person was none other than Dong Xuanfeng, Dong Clan patriarch of the Dong family. Sensing the two auras clashing in the distance, Dong Xuanfeng found it hard to believe that both of them had clearly died in the battle back then.

More than a hundred years have passed since the war, and if he hadn't felt the same Cold Spirit Scripture and Moon Stroking Hand again today, he would have forgotten about this matter.

Sensing the aura of the battle between the two, Dong Xuanfeng muttered to himself in confusion.

"Who is the other one? I've never seen this kind of aura before, and the presence is so unfamiliar. Never mind, let's deal with those two first."

After saying this, Dong Xuanfeng gripped his sword in one hand, lightning flashing, and charged straight towards the place where the three were fighting like a thunderbolt.

Dong Xuanfeng knew very well why these two guys had come here—to take Dong Xuanfeng life. So, no matter who dealt with them, Dong Xuanfeng had to lend a hand.

Otherwise, he'll be the one in trouble later.

At the point where the three were fighting, the aura of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts permeated the surroundings. The man wielded his great axe incessantly, his attacks like an endless mountain range, his power domineering and shattering the shadows of flying knives around him. Yet, there were a few small bloodstains on his body, which healed in an instant.

Looking at Li Xunhuan, the man's expression became somewhat solemn. This man could break through the aura of heaven and earth around him with just his sword energy, so his strength was definitely above his own.

The man glanced at the distance, his eyes narrowing. His Third Sister was weaker than him, and she already had wounds on her body caused by the sword intent. Seeing this, the man raised his great axe high.

'The Thousand Mountains Stance.'

With a loud shout, the man unleashed an even more dazzling light from the Shun Tian Great Axe in his hand, and in a trance, the shadows of a thousand mountains appeared. The might of heaven and earth emanated from the great axe in his hand as it pressed down on Li Xunhuan.

Li Xunhuan's true energy solidified into a giant flying knife shadow, its blade energy crisscrossing and its sharp, piercing intent directly cleaving the mountain range in two.

At the same time, a flying knife in Li Xunhuan's hand flashed with cold light, shooting out like a meteor, carrying boundless power and killing intent, and shooting straight towards the woman behind him.

Wherever the throwing knife passed, a sharp whistling sound could be heard, and a dazzling blade of light arrived in an instant.

Just as the woman shattered the shadows of several flying knives around her, she felt a chill assail her. Looking at the blade of light hurtling towards her, she was horrified. This was not a shadow of a knife, but merely a manifestation of true energy. This flying knife was real, and it was a killing move.

The sharp and deadly intent emanating from the blade sent chills down one's spine.

The woman formed hand seals and activated the Cold Spirit Scripture, transforming it into several ice walls that blocked her path. In her right palm, a round moon, as white as jade, was extremely cold; her palm transformed into a cold moon.

Moon Stroking Hand.

The woman's surroundings felt as if they had returned to the dead of winter, with frost frozen and the air bitterly cold.

The flying knife struck straight at them, and the ice wall of true energy shattered instantly, as if it were made of paper. The cold moon in their palm and the aura of heaven and earth around them were directly torn apart by the flying knife.

The woman looked terrified; she couldn't block the flying knife.

The blade, barely an inch long, pierced through the woman's right hand and struck straight at her brow.

Just as the flying knife was about to touch her brow, a jade pendant with a dragon design hanging on the woman's chest emitted bursts of azure light, transforming into a small Azure Dragon ten feet long, protecting the woman's body.

Looking at the azure Azure Dragon shadow, Li Xunhuan's eyes narrowed. Of the two, the woman was the weakest, only at the early stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and she had only recently broken through.

But this guy has an inexplicable aura about him, an extremely domineering presence, which he has now forced out.

The Dragon Qi, the form of Azure Dragon —could these two be subordinates of the Emperor Star?

The flying knife pierced straight towards the Azure Dragon's shadow. The knife's intent erupted, and the Azure Dragon's phantom couldn't help but let out a faint wail. The flying knife sent the woman and the Azure Dragon's phantom flying back dozens of feet.

As the illusory image of the Azure Dragon gradually crumbled, the dragon-patterned jade pendant on the woman's chest shattered violently, and the true power of Li Xunhuan's flying knife was also completely dissipated, turning the flying knife into dust.

"Ah!"

"Puff."

The throwing knife missed the woman, but her face instantly turned deathly pale, her expression contorted, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. She lost control of her aura and inner energy, and fell straight down from the sky.

"Third Sister!!!"

Seeing this, the man threw out a large golden axe towards Li Xunhuan. He then moved towards the woman who had fallen to the ground, his expression showing both anxiety and disbelief.

How is that possible?

Even if Third Sister is incompetent, she wouldn't do something like this! Besides, there's the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant.

With just that one flying knife, the Cold Spirit Scripture, the Moon Stroking Hand, the power of the Moonlight, and the Azure Dragon power that the Pavilion Master left for Third Sister to protect her life, how could they not stop it?

Seeing the great axe coming at him, Li Xunhuan produced a throwing knife in his right hand. With just the small throwing knife, he deflected the golden axe, sending it crashing to the ground.

Looking towards the two, Li Xunhuan's throwing knife, accompanied by the flickering of his fingertips, exuded endless killing intent, like a countdown to death.

The man approached the fallen woman and breathed a sigh of relief; she was still alive. He channeled his inner energy into her body, but his expression changed. He had blocked the attack, but she was still injured—her soul was wounded, and the Azure Dragon Jade was completely shattered.

Using his inner energy to stabilize his mind, he fed the woman an unknown pill. Seeing her slightly awaken, the man stood up, stood in front of the woman, and with a wave of his hand, the great axe that had been knocked away returned to his hand.

He had already sensed the chilling aura emanating from Li Xunhuan, whose throwing knife was already gleaming.

Another throwing knife shot out with a dazzling light, flashing like lightning.

The man held a battle-axe in one hand, and his body resembled a continuous mountain range, exuding a heavy, overwhelming aura that seemed to suppress everything.

The woman, who had just woken up, was pale and looked pained and struggling. Her soul felt as if it were being torn apart. Seeing the man's actions, she cried out weakly with urgency and worry.

"Xiao Jiu, run! The blade will sever your body and destroy your soul; this is a strike to the very heart and spirit, you can't withstand it."

She knew very well how terrifying this person's flying knife was. If it weren't for the help of the Azure Dragon, she would have died long ago. But even so, although she blocked the knife, the terrifying knife intent still injured her soul.

The blade slashes at the body, its intent severs the soul; the true meaning of this blade is to sever the spirit, making it difficult to withstand. Xiao Jiu doesn't possess the Azure Dragon Power of the Pavilion Master, so this is going to be tough!

The man remained unmoved, his aura growing even stronger, seemingly unstoppable. Gazing at the blade's edge, he brandished his great axe, his entire body erupting like a volcano, letting out a furious roar.

"With the strength of a thousand mountains, even if Thousand Mountains Overturn, Force to Uphold the Heavens."
