One Strike, One Kill

With this in mind, Chen Nianzhi decided to use every means at her disposal to break the deadlock.

Above his head, the Jiuyi Bell opened a curtain of light, blocking Wei Mingyuan's continuous attacks. Then, he unleashed the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword, striking away Senior Brother Yan's Life-bound Magical Treasure, the Heavenly Net Saber.

"Boom--"

With a sudden, loud bang, Chen Nianzhi seized the opportunity and unleashed the Blazing Fire Heavenly Sword and the Yang-Metal Divine Thunder, both Divine Ability, towards Senior Brother Yan, clearly intending to kill this slightly weaker enemy first.

With Chen Nianzhi's Law Power comparable to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, she unleashed two offensive Divine Ability, which even Senior Brother Yan, using all his skills, could not withstand, leaving him no choice but to ask Wei Mingyuan for help.

"Senior brother, save me!"

"Don't panic!"

Wei Mingyuan activated a flying sword and a precious pearl, two Tier 2 high-grade Law Artifact, to continuously attack the Jiuyi Bell, causing the bell to shimmer with intense light. Then, he raised his hand and activated the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Net.

On the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Net, one hundred and eight Tier 1 divine thunderbolts gathered together and transformed into three Tier 2 high-grade Bing Fire Divine Thunder.

Suddenly, three thunderclaps resounded, and three bolts of divine lightning burst forth from the divine lightning net, exploding outwards with a deafening roar.

Two of the divine lightning bolts blocked Chen Nianzhi's Golden Light Blazing Fire Sword and Yang-Metal Divine Thunder, while the last one struck the Jiuyi Bell Jiuyi Bell, causing its light screen to tremble violently.

Fortunately, the Jiuyi Bell lived up to its reputation as a product of being forged from a large amount of Mystic Iron Essence, making it one of the most powerful Defensive Magic Instrument. It actually withstood the attacks of the two Law Artifact and the Bing Fire Divine Thunder.

In that instant, Chen Nianzhi's eyes suddenly snapped open, and she raised her hand to unleash her true trump card.

"Clang--"

With a sword's cry, a sword light wreathed in black and gold lightning flames burst forth, slashing straight at Wei Mingyuan.

The moment Wei Mingyuan saw the sword light, he showed a look of horror and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword!"

The eighteen-zhang-long sword aura, chasing stars and the moon, resembled a Black Dragon baring its fangs and claws, instantly traversing a hundred zhang of void and striking in front of Wei Mingyuan.

This move caught him completely off guard. Wei Mingyuan had the Vajra Seal, Tier 2 high-level Defensive Magic Instrument, above his head. He thought he was invincible, but little did he know that Chen Nianzhi would suddenly pull out this trump card.

In his haste, he could only throw out a few Tier 2 Treasure Talisman, hoping to hold out for a moment, but unfortunately, they were completely useless.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword cleaved through all obstacles. Wei Mingyuan had only used one talisman when his Defensive Magic Instrument was cleaved in two.

"If only my Azure Sun True Flame Talisman were still here..."

On his deathbed, Wei Mingyuan had this regretful thought.

If he hadn't been so careless, and had kept the three Bing Fire Divine Thunder from his Life-Bound Dharma Artifact, he might have been able to slightly block the sharpness of the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword, saving his life in order to launch a counterattack.

It's a pity that this person didn't even have a chance to unleash his full power before being killed by a sneak attack. The effects of the pills, magical Law Artifact, and talismans on his body were not fully utilized.

"Senior Brother Wei!"

Seeing Wei Mingyuan killed in one move, Senior Brother Yan exclaimed in astonishment.

He immediately realized what was happening and tried to escape by controlling his Law Treasure, but no matter how fast he was, how could he outrun the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword?

Chen Nianzhi activated the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword once more, and the black-gold sword energy surged again, instantly traversing a thousand feet of void and cleaving Senior Brother Yan in mid-air.

After the two sword strikes, Chen Nianzhi almost collapsed to the ground. Although the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword Bu Fan powerful, each activation cost him 20% of his True Essence.

With just two sword strikes, he had drained forty percent of his True Essence, causing him to feel a sense of weakness within his body.

"Call--"

Chen Nianzhi swallowed a Origin-Restoring Pill, which restored some of her True Essence, and she couldn't help but show a look of lingering fear.

Wei Mingyuan's True Essence was 70-80% more abundant than his, and his strength was almost at the Purple Mansion Realm. If he hadn't relied on the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword to launch a sneak attack and catch his opponent off guard, he might not have been able to defeat him.

Even if he won by surprise, he had already exhausted eighty or ninety percent of his True Essence, which was almost all he had to give.

"This person's True Essence is exceptionally profound, clearly indicating that he has broken through to the Purple Mansion more than once. Furthermore, he wields the Azure Sun Sect's unique Life-Bound Dharma Artifact, suggesting he likely has an astonishing background."

"It seems we shouldn't linger here."

Chen Nianzhi collected the two people's Storage Bag and treasures, then burned them to ashes with a fire. He then flew away on his sword across the vast Great Wilderness before hurriedly heading towards Heavenly Ruins Mountain.

At this moment, he felt extremely uneasy, worried that Wei Mingyuan had someone behind him, and worried that the Azure Sun Sect would find out his identity. Right now, the only place that could give him a sense of security was Heavenly Ruins Mountain.

For safety's sake, he even summoned the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Ark, which flew 20,000 miles a day. In just four or five days, he traversed 80,000 to 90,000 miles of the Great Wilderness, crossed the Desolate Sun Mountain Range, and finally arrived at Heavenly Ruins Mountain.

Upon arriving at Heavenly Ruins Mountain, he did not linger and went straight to Jiang Linglong's cave.

"What's wrong?"

The moment Jiang Linglong saw him, a smile appeared on her face. Noticing his unease, she asked him with concern.

Chen Nianzhi calmed herself down, took out Wei Mingyuan's and Wei Mingyuan's Storage Bag, and said somewhat uneasily.

"I'm afraid I've gotten myself into trouble."

"This person should be a descendant of Wei Chongyang of the Azure Sun Sect's Purple Mansion."

After listening, Jiang Linglong smiled and said.

She took Wei Mingyuan's Storage Bag, casually broke the seal on it, took out an inconspicuous little wooden plaque from the Storage Bag, and then smiled.

"Alright, the matter is resolved."

"Ah?"

Chen Nianzhi was slightly taken aback, not yet recovering from her unease.

Jiang Linglong looked at his stunned expression and found it quite amusing, so she couldn't help but giggle. Then she picked up the life tablet and said...

"This item is the Soul-Chasing Life Tablet, which can be used to track the location of Storage Bag. It consists of two parts, a mother and a child, and can locate each other even if they are hundreds of thousands of miles apart. Generally, only important figures in major sects are given this item to use."

"Once the Azure Sun Sect discovers that Wei Mingyuan's Soul Lamp has gone out, they will quickly locate the enemy using the Soul-Chasing Life Tablet."

"You escaped to Heavenly Ruins Mountain on the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Ark, and your speed was no less than that of the Purple Mansion cultivator. The Azure Sun Sect probably already considers you to be Purple Mansion of my Heavenly Ruins Mountain. Now that this Soul-Chasing Life Tablet is in my hands, it further confirms this."

After hearing her finish speaking, Chen Nianzhi thought for a moment and still said somewhat uneasily, "Will this Soul-Chasing Life Tablet bringing you trouble now that it's in your possession?"

Are you worried about me?

Jiang Linglong's eyes lit up, and a smile filled her bright eyes, which even Chen Nianzhi found hard to resist.

Seeing Chen Nianzhi's embarrassed look, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth before speaking.

"Don't worry, Wei Chongyang can't even beat my disciples. He wouldn't dare to cause me any trouble even if he had ten times the courage."

"Moreover, this person has an old grudge against your Chen Clan, so it's not a mistake for you to make an enemy of him."

Chen Nianzhi's expression shifted slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that?"
