Chapter 179
Sheng Bailan did the same thing as her.
"United!"
The next moment, the two swords merged into one!
A pure white longsword hovered above Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan, emitting a blazing white sword light, as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to open one's eyes, while at the same time possessing an incomparably sharp edge.
With their swords pointed at the true demon, Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan spoke in unison, each word distinct:
"Twin Swords Combination, they are invincible!"
As the words fell.
Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan drew their swords simultaneously.
The sword tip points to the sky, piercing straight into the clouds!
Then, a dazzling sword light swept out like a fleeting glimpse, annihilating the boundless blood mist!
Then, it slammed hard into the bone spear.
Rumble!
The entire earth trembled, and a terrifying shockwave swept across the sky, raising towering clouds of dust and flames.
Blood flowed across the White Jade Bone Spear in the True Demon's hand, and blood energy soared into the sky, actually managing to block the sharp sword light.
But this terrifying sword light did not stop at all; it bypassed the bone spear and fiercely stabbed towards the true demon!
"Ah!"
The True Demon let out a miserable scream. He felt as if all the bones in his body were about to crack, and the excruciating pain pierced his heart. The White Jade Bone Spear in his hand slipped from his grasp and fell into the sky, where it was pinned to the ground by the sword light.
"Boom..."
The sword's edge pierced through the true demon's chest, leaving a bloody hole in his chest cavity, from which blood splattered!
[~&
The true demon was filled with rage, utterly unable to believe that his Heavenly Rank magic weapon could be knocked down by a mere human girl!
Xiao Minghuang gave him no time to catch his breath, instantly transforming into a sharp sword like lightning, slicing through the sky and charging forward.
Sheng Bailan followed closely behind.
The two men, one in front and one behind, unleashed two terrifying sword beams that slashed down in an instant!

"Human girls, you have successfully angered me! I will make you wish you were dead!"
The true demon roared to the heavens, its voice shaking the very depths!
The next moment.
The heavens and earth roared.
A sea of blood surged forth, blotting out the sky and the sun. The blood energy churned, and an endless stench of blood filled the air, enveloping the world. It seemed as if the entire world was filled with the color of blood!
"Blood Demon Devouring Heaven!"
The True Demon slammed his palm into the sky, unleashing a monstrous wave of blood that transformed into a ferocious crimson beast that lunged at Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan.
"Boom!"
Blood light filled the air, and a bloody aura surged to the heavens. A deafening roar exploded in the sky. The attacks of Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan were actually shattered by the True Demon's Blood Demon Devouring Heaven move!
The Blood Demon Devouring Heaven technique was incredibly powerful, and Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan were blasted away.
The monster in the sea of blood pressed its advantage and pounced on the two of them!
"Damn it!"
The true demon seemed to have used some kind of secret technique to burn potential, greatly increasing his combat power in a short period of time. Even the combined attack of the two of them could not defeat him!
Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan exchanged a glance, their faces pale, but they remained fearless. They once again channeled their spiritual power, each condensing a pure white longsword.
The two of them gently twisted their wrists.
The two swords were combined into one.
The pure white sword blade was incredibly sharp, containing a sword intent capable of destroying the heavens and the earth!
The sword gleamed with a pure and flawless luster, like a celestial being, exuding a noble and pure aura, like a peerless beauty emerging from the deepest abyss, captivating all who beheld it.
The sword tip pointed directly at the true demon, radiating a chilling light, as if it were about to annihilate all evil thoughts.
This is their final, most powerful blow!
Both of them had given it their all.
Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan each coughed up a mouthful of blood, their faces turning even paler.
The pure white sword light collided with the True Demon's White Jade Bone Spear, unleashing a terrifying burst of energy.
Xiao Minghuang and the other person were sent flying backward, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their faces deathly pale.
But at this moment, they had no time to heal their injuries. They immediately circulated all their spiritual power, crushed all the talismans they could use, and transformed into flowing rainbows, fleeing the place at top speed.
Watching the two white lights disappear into the horizon, the True Demon was filled with rage. He never expected that he, a True Demon of the Nascent Soul Realm, who had even used a celestial treasure, would be repeatedly humiliated by two mere human ants!
This is not just a matter of saving face. If he cannot quickly eliminate these two human ants, and the strongest human beings become aware of it, he will be unable to set up a larger teleportation array to summon a more powerful true demon to cross over.
"Human juniors! I have no time for you. When the Saintly True Demon descends, the entire Southern Border will be turned into demonic land!"
The True Demon sneered coldly. "Where will these two ants go when the time comes?"
Summer capital.
Countless cultivators stood ready for battle.
Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, Medicine King, Xiao Hanbing, and others stood on the city tower and saw two streaks of light streak across the sky and quickly land on the city wall.
"Your Highness!"
Upon seeing Xiao Minghuang appear, Ye Ruoshui immediately went to greet him.
Her eyes welled up with tears, her eyes reddened, and she couldn't help but shed them.
Because at this moment, Xiao Minghuang was covered in blood, her clothes were tattered, her hair was a mess, and her face was as pale as paper.
Sheng Bailan, whom she was holding in her arms, was in no better condition. Her clothes were tattered, her hair was disheveled, and she was covered in wounds and bloodstains. Her eyes were closed, and she was on the verge of death.
But in Ye Ruoshui's eyes, there was only Xiao Minghuang.
"Your Highness... you're injured..."
Ye Ruoshui was heartbroken, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with worry.
"Your Highness..."
Lin Wanqiu's expression also turned very ugly.
They were all well aware of Xiao Minghuang's strength. With the National Destiny's fortune at stake, it would be impossible for an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm to harm her.
But at this moment, Xiao Minghuang was indeed covered in wounds, his clothes were tattered, and his exposed skin was covered with dense bloodstains.
"I'm alright... Medicine King, please heal Bai Lan's injuries."
Xiao Minghuang was blessed with the power of the National Destiny and had undergone the physical tempering of the Great Perfection of Body Tempering. Although his injuries looked terrifying, they had not actually damaged his foundation.
But Sheng Bailan is different.
With her cultivation at the Primal Embryo Realm, she forcibly Twin Swords Combination with Xiao Minghuang, who possessed the combat power of the Nascent Soul Realm, to fight a deadly battle against a true demon. This far exceeded her capacity to withstand, and she had completely fainted at this moment.
"Princess, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to heal Sect Master!"
After settling Sheng Bailan in for the time being, Xiao Minghuang looked at everyone present.
At this moment, not only the people of the Xia Kingdom stood on the city walls of Xia Capital, but also the rulers of several nearby countries, elders of the Beast Taming Sect and the Spirit Sword Sect.
Xiao Minghuang glanced at them and slowly said:
"The True Demon's strength has exceeded my expectations. Even with the combined efforts of Sect Master Sheng and myself, we are still no match for him. I'm sorry..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
Sheng Bailan was the strongest in the Southern Border, while Xiao Minghuang, blessed by the Great Xia Dynasty's National Destiny, was comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm. Even when the two joined forces, they were still defeated by a True Demon.
Doesn't that mean the Southern Border is doomed?
The expressions of the king and elders present all changed.
"Princess... what should we do now?"
The sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect asked nervously.
"Otherwise... we might still be able to evacuate to a neighboring state now."
Someone suggested.
"You can leave if you want, Southern Border is my home. Even if I die, I will stay in the Southern Border!"
An elder of the Spirit Sword Sect sang a poignant and sorrowful song.
Xiao Minghuang also frowned. She had tried her best, but she was still no match for the true demon.
The rest of the Xia Kingdom people also wore sorrowful expressions. The true demon was too powerful, beyond human strength to defeat. They had no choice but to flee.
After settling Sheng Bailan in, the Medicine King hurriedly returned, walked to Xiao Minghuang's side, and transmitted his voice:
"Princess, do not worry, I have another way to give you a chance to defeat the true demon!"
Upon hearing the Medicine King's words, Xiao Minghuang immediately asked:
What method is it?
The Medicine King smiled slightly, glanced at Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu, and said:
"In the past, I was trapped at the Life and Death Profound Pass. I tried to enter the realm of pure Yang through the path of fire, and then use the path of Yin and Yang to complement each other and build the foundation of the Yin-Yang path. However, I was stuck at the level where isolated Yang cannot generate anything. Until I encountered an unexpected event, this idea became nothing but empty talk."
"The princess's two Dao Companion, one with Innate Fire Spirit Body and the other with Innate Taiyin Spirit Body, along with the princess's Innate Pure Yang Fire Spirit Body, and the fact that the three of you share the same spiritual power and connected auras, can achieve yin-yang balance and harmony!"
"If you join forces, you will definitely be able to unleash even greater combat power, and defeating a True Demon in the Nascent Soul Realm should not be a problem."
Upon hearing the words of the Medicine King, Xiao Minghuang's eyes lit up.
This method seems feasible.

"However, Ruoshui and Wanqiu are only at the Divine Sea Realm, which is far too different from my realm."
"Moreover, the National Destiny's power was almost exhausted in the previous battles; even if it could be used, it would only last for a breath at most..."
Xiao Minghuang said with deep concern.
"What I mean by joining forces is not to fight an enemy together, but rather that the three princesses' auras are connected, their spiritual power is mutually supplied, and the princesses take the lead in linking and fusing the Yin and Yang forces. It is not simply about joining forces to perform some kind of supernatural power."
"... As for whether she can defeat the true demon in a single breath, I believe that with the princess's intelligence and ability, it should be sufficient."
The Medicine King spoke these words in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but sigh, "The Medicine King truly lives up to his Life and Death King, having climbed to the summit and fallen into the valley."
This composure, remaining calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, is something that ordinary people cannot match.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior..."
Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, but he still felt uncertain.
The Medicine King's so-called connection and mutual assistance between Yin and Yang sound like some nonsensical grand principle.
... Perhaps we'll only know by trying.
As she pondered, she looked at Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu standing beside her and extended her hand to them.
Ye and Lin nodded and each handed their hands to Xiao Minghuang.
