One Sword, Shattering Ten Thousand Techniques!!!

Ye Xuan's roar echoed like a beast's howl.

It reverberated through the bamboo grove.

The killing intent in his eyes had nearly solidified. He wished he could tear Gu Ningxue into ten thousand pieces and grind her bones to ash!

Sensing the danger closing in.

Gu Ningxue immediately tightened her grip on her sword, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Song Yao, beside her, also furrowed her delicate brows and moved a little closer to Gu Ningxue.

Though she did not say a single word, everything was understood without words—Song Yao would not abandon Gu Ningxue!

"Even if another helper comes, it won't change the fact that you're both doomed to die!"

"Kill!!!"

As soon as the words fell.

Ye Xuan and Li Xuan'er hesitated no longer.

One on the left and one on the right, they turned into two blood-red ghostly shadows and charged toward Gu Ningxue with lightning speed.

At the same time, the two of them struck without hesitation!

Boom—!

Blood-red claw light descended from above, carrying an aura that corroded everything!

The two forces intertwined, forming a net of certain death that completely sealed off every path of retreat for Gu Ningxue and Song Yao!

"Ice Phoenix Heavenly Dance!"

Gu Ningxue's pretty face turned solemn.

At that moment, she did not retreat in the slightest.

In almost an instant, she pushed the spiritual energy within her body to its limit!

A lifelike Ice Crystal Phoenix condensed behind her. With a clear cry, it carried boundless frost as it charged toward that deadly net!

Bang—!!!

Ultimate ice-coldness collided head-on with ultimate evil!

The entire bamboo grove was instantly razed flat beneath the impact of that terrifying energy!

However...

The Ice Crystal Phoenix lasted less than three seconds!

Under the corrosion of the blood-red and pink evil energy, it let out a mournful cry before shattering with a crash!

"Puh—!"

Gu Ningxue suffered a heavy blow. Her delicate body shook violently as a mouthful of blood sprayed out!

Like a kite with its string severed, she was sent flying backward!

Savage, proud smiles appeared on Ye Xuan and Li Xuan'er's faces!

This was exactly the outcome they wanted!

Before everyone, they wanted to stomp this woman hailed as Flame Capital's number one prodigy viciously beneath their feet!

"Die!"

The two shouted at once, their figures launching forward again as two even fiercer killing moves slammed heavily toward the defenseless Gu Ningxue in midair.

This strike was unstoppable!!!

Boom!!!!

But at that very moment.

A sword qi that carried unstoppable force suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Caught entirely off guard, it helped the two women block that terrifying strike, blasting Ye Xuan and Li Xuan'er's combined attack to pieces in midair!

The crisis facing Gu Ningxue and Song Yao vanished in that instant.

Yet even so.

The powerful shockwave still caught Gu Ningxue off guard.

Her entire body was flung away, spinning through the air, unable to stabilize herself for a long while.

However, just then.

A figure suddenly appeared behind her.

With one hand, he gently wrapped an arm around Gu Ningxue's slender waist and steadily caught her in his embrace.

Thud...

Then he landed lightly on the ground.

The entire sequence flowed in one smooth motion.

Dashing and graceful.

And at that moment, Ye Xuan finally saw the newcomer's face clearly.

It was Lin Yuan!

Time seemed to freeze at that instant.

Ye Xuan and Li Xuan'er stared fixedly at the man who had suddenly appeared.

Their eyes held shock, fury...

And even more so, towering hatred like a volcano erupting!

"Lin... Yuan!"

Ye Xuan practically squeezed those two words out through clenched teeth!

The blood-red sha qi around him surged wildly!

"Good! Very good! You finally dared to show yourself!"

"I planned to deal with this bitch first, then come looking for you! Who would've thought you'd deliver yourself to my doorstep!"

"Today, I'll make you two shameless lovers die together!"

Li Xuan'er's eyes were likewise filled with venom and madness!

"Lin Yuan! I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces! I'll repay everything you did to me a hundredfold!"

Boom! Boom!

Two terrifying auras at the Qi Sea Realm Peak soared into the sky!

The entire wasteland seemed to tremble beneath their pressure!

Liu Mingxuan and Chen Yu, sprawled limply on the ground nearby, were scared out of their wits!

Was this Ye Xuan's current strength?

It was too terrifying!

However.

Faced with this horrifying pressure, enough to drive any prodigy into despair.

Not even the slightest change appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

He could not even be bothered to look at them.

He merely lowered his head, looked at the pale-faced Gu Ningxue in his arms, and frowned slightly.

Then he casually took out a pill emitting a rich medicinal fragrance and placed it into her mouth.

Only after doing all that did he lift his eyelids and glance at the two people opposite him, who looked like mad demons, with the same gaze one would use for trash.

"Are you finished?"

"If you are, then be on your way."

"You're courting death!"

Lin Yuan's understated contempt completely ignited the last thread of reason in Ye Xuan's heart!

"Blood Demon Swallowing Heaven Claw!"

With an enraged roar, he gathered all the power in his body into this one strike!

A gigantic demonic claw formed from pure blood sha qi tore through the air and descended upon Lin Yuan from above with World-Ending force!

Li Xuan'er struck at the same time!

"Blood Prison Sinking!"

Countless blood-red rays transformed into soul-hooking chains, winding toward Lin Yuan from every direction!

These were their strongest attacks!

They were the hope of their revenge!

They were the peak power they believed could crush everything!

However...

Faced with this earth-shattering combined attack.

Lin Yuan finally moved.

He merely extended one finger.

Then he casually, lightly drew it through the air ahead.

A sword qi that looked utterly ordinary, even somewhat dim, flashed from his fingertip.

It carried no earth-shattering momentum.

It possessed no World-Ending might.

It was like a child's casual doodle.

Yet it was precisely this sword qi.

That, the instant it touched the blood-red demonic claw and the chains filling the sky!

Boom—!!!

It destroyed them as easily as rotten wood!

That invincible-looking blood-red demonic claw melted away in an instant like ice and snow beneath the sun!

Those soul-hooking chains that filled the sky turned to ash in an instant like spiderwebs meeting blazing fire!

The sword qi did not lose any of its momentum!

At a terrifying speed that transcended time and space, it heavily struck Ye Xuan and Li Xuan'er in the chest!

Puh! Puh!

Two jets of blood shot into the sky!

The two figures were sent flying backward at ten times the speed they had arrived, as though they had been struck head-on by a high-speed maglev train!

Rumble!!!!!

They heavily smashed into the distant mountainside, crashing two human-shaped pits into the hard stone!

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible!

The entire scene fell into dead silence!

Ye Xuan struggled as he slid down from the rock wall.

In disbelief, he looked at the hole pierced through his chest, then at the man who had not even changed his stance.

His mind was complete blankness!

How... was this possible?

Why... had it turned out like this?

I had clearly become so strong!

I had clearly devoured the essence blood of so many people!

I had clearly gained such immense power!

Why...

Why, before him, was I still...

Not even equal to an ant?!

His confidence, along with the twisted yet powerful self-esteem he had only just built.

At that moment, was cleaved by that casual sword qi into...

Fragments beyond repair!
