The Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors' First Real Taste of Blood

Compared to Yunxiao's side, where she had trapped over a hundred thousand immortal soldiers and was slowly studying the formation's methods of attack, Qiongxiao and Bixiao were clearly far more direct.

It could even be said—

They were exceedingly violent.

Qiongxiao, clad in green, flickered ceaselessly through the Celestial Court's military formation.

The Mystic Origin Immortal-Slaying Sword no longer seemed eager to draw forth ten thousand zhang of sword light with every strike as it had before. Instead, it had restrained itself to the utmost; often, only when its blade truly reached an enemy did it suddenly erupt with a chilling sharpness that made one's scalp go numb.

A Mid Taiyi immortal general had just raised a protective treasure bell.

Clang!

The Mystic Origin Immortal-Slaying Sword stabbed into the bell.

At first glance—

The treasure bell showed no change whatsoever.

The immortal general was just about to sneer.

Then, in the next instant—

An exceedingly fine crack appeared where the sword tip had landed.

It then spread all the way across.

Crack!

The entire Mid-Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure split directly in two from the middle.

The immortal general's expression changed drastically.

Qiongxiao's second sword strike had already arrived.

"Wait!"

He hurriedly retreated.

But at that moment—

The space behind him suddenly rippled like the surface of water.

Bixiao poked out half her body.

She was still carrying the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors in her hand.

"Wait for what?"

The immortal general abruptly turned his head.

His face immediately went pale.

"You again!"

He had just personally witnessed this girl snip another person's Innate Spirit Treasure in half.

Who would be willing to take a hit from something like that?

The immortal general's mana erupted in an instant.

He turned and fled into the distance.

Bixiao froze.

"Why are you running?"

"I haven't even snipped you yet!"

To his ears—

Those words were clearly not the least bit comforting.

Instead, he ran even faster.

Qiongxiao watched Bixiao chase after him and felt somewhat helpless.

Her younger sister's fighting style was becoming increasingly strange.

When others pursued and killed enemies, they were brimming with killing intent.

But when it came to Bixiao—

No matter how one looked at it, she seemed like she had discovered a new toy, happily chasing someone down to experiment on them.

Yet the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors themselves were an immensely Slaughter-oriented treasure.

Once the two Innate yin-yang flood dragons truly crossed paths, the protective treasures of ordinary Taiyi cultivators could not withstand more than a few blows at all.

Thus, an utterly absurd scene quickly appeared on the battlefield.

A Taiyi immortal general fled madly in front.

A young girl who had only recently broken through to Taiyi chased madly behind him.

Now and then, golden flood dragons would poke their heads out and deliver a snip.

Crack!

The first snip.

Half the immortal general's cloak vanished outright.

The second snip.

His protective immortal radiance was cut apart on the spot.

Before the third snip could fall—

The man finally could not help roaring in fury.

"Bixiao!"

"You've gone too far!"

He abruptly stopped.

The mana of a Mid Taiyi cultivator erupted completely.

A bronze battle-ge swelled in the wind, directly transforming into a divine weapon thousands of zhang long as it cleaved down at Bixiao.

Bixiao's eyes lit up even more brightly.

"You finally stopped running?"

Facing the battle-ge thousands of zhang long—

She did not even retreat.

The Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors flew from her hand.

The two golden flood dragons raised their heads and roared.

One yin.

One yang.

They crossed past one another.

Crack!

The bronze battle-ge broke in the middle.

The pupils of that Celestial Court Taiyi abruptly contracted.

Before he could use another divine ability—

The two golden flood dragons had already bypassed the broken treasure and appeared before him in an instant.

"Come back!"

Bixiao instinctively tried to recall them.

But she was ultimately a step too late.

The Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors had always been a supreme Slaughter spirit treasure.

Now that they had been truly activated—

How could they possibly hold back?

A streak of golden light crossed.

The final layer of protective divine radiance around the Celestial Court Taiyi shattered completely.

Immediately afterward—

His body stiffened.

Before his Primordial Spirit could even escape, it was crushed apart simultaneously by the two forces of yin-yang Slaughter.

Heaven and earth fell briefly silent.

Bixiao stood where she was.

Looking at the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors that had flown back into her hand.

She might usually fool around with her words—

But this was the first time she had truly slain a Taiyi with her own hands.

Qiongxiao had already arrived at her side from afar.

"Afraid?"

Bixiao thought for a moment.

Then shook her head.

"Not really."

"It just felt rather fun a moment ago."

"But after really killing him, it didn't feel so fun anymore."

Qiongxiao's expression remained calm.

"A battle of techniques was never a game."

"If enemies came to kill us, they had to be prepared to be killed themselves."

Bixiao nodded.

She then lowered her head and glanced at the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors.

The insight into Slaughter she had felt in that instant had not yet fully faded.

For the first time, she truly understood—

Why her master had always told her to treat spirit treasures as spirit treasures.

And not as toys.

Things that could kill people—

One ultimately had to know when to use them.

The moment that thought emerged—

The somewhat scattered auras of the yin-yang and spatial Great Daos within Bixiao's body visibly condensed by another measure.

In the distance—

The corresponding insight within Luxuan's Primordial Spirit was instantly amplified a hundredfold.

Spatial severance amid Slaughter.

The interweaving of the yin-yang poles.

The true compatibility between a spirit treasure and one's own Great Dao.

Before Luxuan could even properly savor it—

Elsewhere—

Qiongxiao had already drawn her sword.

A Late Taiyi immortal general had taken advantage of the sisters' conversation to suddenly attack from the side.

A crimson immortal blade carried flames that filled the sky.

Qiongxiao did not even turn her head.

She thrust the Mystic Origin Immortal-Slaying Sword backward with her backhand.

There was no enormous sword light.

Nor were there any phenomena that blanketed heaven and earth.

There was only a green line as fine as a strand of hair.

Puff!

Sword Qi pierced directly through the sea of flames.

Then pierced through the immortal blade's protective divine radiance.

It finally stopped before that Taiyi's glabella.

The immortal general's entire body instantly stiffened.

Only then did Qiongxiao turn around.

"You lost."

His expression was ugly.

Yet a ruthless gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.

A black thunder pearl silently slipped out from his sleeve.

"Then we'll die together!"

Boom!

The thunder pearl exploded in an instant.

Destructive lightning covered an area of ten thousand li.

Bixiao's expression changed sharply.

But in the next moment—

A streak of green sword light had already passed through the lightning first.

The Mystic Origin Immortal-Slaying Sword stabbed directly into that Taiyi's Primordial Spirit.

Qiongxiao withdrew her sword and retreated.

At the same time, Bixiao activated the spatial laws.

The sisters took one step back, retreating ten thousand li away.

Lightning filled the sky as it brushed past them.

It did not harm them in the slightest.

Bixiao turned back to look at the sea of lightning gradually dissipating.

"Second Sister."

"That person was quite sneaky."

Qiongxiao's expression was much colder than before.

"So don't go soft on enemies."

Bixiao nodded.

This time, she had clearly truly remembered it.

Luxuan took in the entire process.

He did not intervene.

Some things—

No matter how many times a master explained them,

They could not compare to experiencing them firsthand once.

As long as he stood behind them and made sure they would not truly be suddenly crushed to death by cultivators of a higher realm, they would ultimately have to walk the rest of the road themselves.

Meanwhile.

As Qiongxiao and Bixiao began to truly adapt to large-scale battlefields, the Celestial Court's right flank where they were stationed gradually began to collapse visibly.

Taiyi could not withstand the Mystic Origin Immortal-Slaying Sword's frontal slaughter.

Golden Immortals did not even dare let the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors come close.

One focused on attacking.

The other kept popping out of space to launch sneak attacks.

Two juniors who had only recently entered Taiyi had forcefully thrown the formation of tens of thousands of immortal soldiers into utter chaos.

Bixiao in particular.

After truly killing an enemy for the first time, her attacks instead became increasingly clean and decisive.

She no longer chased people around just to test moves on them.

Space twisted.

The Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors fell.

If it could be dealt with, she dealt with it.

If it could not, she immediately moved on to the next one.

Her efficiency suddenly rose by an unknown amount.

In the distance, several Great Luo of the Celestial Court finally could not bear to watch any longer.

One of them spoke coldly.

"A few juniors dare act so presumptuously!"

Just as he was about to move toward the Three Cloud Sisters—

A streak of azure divine light suddenly blocked his path.

That Great Luo looked up.

Zhao Gongming stood in midair.

Twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls slowly revolved behind him.

"Your opponent."

"Is me."

After saying that.

Zhao Gongming swept a glance over the other five Great Luo nearby who were preparing to provide support.

The corner of his lips curled slightly.

"You lot."

"Come at me together."
