Slaughtering a Saint, Swift and Decisive

In just one round of combat, Zhunti was actually injured, struck by one of the two sword lights. He let out a muffled groan, blood splattered on the spot, and he retreated repeatedly.

The Way of Slaughter of Minghe was actually this fierce!

The Five Saints watching from the sidelines couldn't help but sigh. Suppressing Minghe this time would likely be very difficult for Zhunti alone.

However, the Five Saints still did not move, letting Zhunti continue to fight Minghe one-on-one. They, on the other hand, observed, wanting to get a clear look at Minghe's true capabilities.

At the same time, they were searching for Minghe's weaknesses, so that when they truly made their move, they could smoothly seal him.

Minghe was, as far as they knew, the first being in the Primordial Era to attain the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

He was truly extraordinary.

They also really wanted to know how Minghe had attained his Dao. Of the three methods of attaining Dao, Dao Proving Through Merit could be ruled out.

Then, between Dao Proving Through Strength and Dao Proving Through Severing Three Corpses, which method had Minghe used?

Dao Proving Through Strength should be impossible, as it was the most difficult.

Could it be Dao Proving Through Severing Three Corpses?

The Saints' gazes flickered slightly, especially Laozi, who was the most concerned about this point.

After all, he had already severed his three corpses back then, and was only one step away from attaining Dao by merging them.

But he had failed. The merging of the three corpses failed, and he did not succeed.

He could only take a step back and, like the others, attain Dao through Merit.

This was a deep-seated concern for Laozi. Therefore, if Minghe had truly attained Dao by Severing Three Corpses, he absolutely had to ask for an explanation.

Meanwhile, in the blink of an eye, Minghe and Zhunti's battle continued.

Minghe's sword had injured Zhunti. As Zhunti retreated, he continuously dissolved the power of the Law of Slaughter that had invaded his body.

His astonishment at Minghe was almost unconcealed.

This person's destructive power was too terrifying!

Not only could his Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree not block it, but even his Saintly body was easily wounded by a single slash?

Zhunti's heart stirred, and he quickly drew upon the Heavenly Dao Power to heal his injuries.

The Heavenly Dao Power of the Primordial Era was vast and mighty. Although Zhunti could only utilize a very small portion of it, it was still extraordinary.

Dissolving the injuries inflicted by Minghe was naturally not a problem.

At the same time, Zhunti also took the opportunity to empower himself with the Heavenly Dao Power.

In an instant, Zhunti's strength increased by more than tenfold.

He stopped his movement and looked at Minghe, a look of composure appearing on his face.

A green banner materialized above his head, blooming with a thousand green lotuses, defending his surroundings.

This banner made Minghe's eyes light up. It was the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner, one of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth.

"Fellow Daoist Minghe, shall we continue?" Zhunti asked with a smile.

Minghe did not reply. Suddenly, his Primordial Spirit escaped from his physical body, transforming into a river of blood.

It surged towards the two swords, and instantly, the two blood-red sword lights violently expanded a hundredfold.

Under the horrified gazes of the Saints, they suddenly stabbed towards Zhunti!

This move was simply earth-shattering!

The Saints had already held Minghe in very high regard, but who could have imagined that after Zhunti was empowered by the Heavenly Dao Power and his strength increased tenfold, Minghe would unleash a power dozens of times stronger than before?

How had Minghe attained his Dao?

Even Severing Three Corpses shouldn't be this outrageous, right?

While the Saints were shocked and awestruck, knowing that Zhunti absolutely could not withstand Minghe's attack, two more Saints intervened.

Yuanshi threw out a jade Ruyi, which emitted a three-colored light. It soared into the sky and struck down directly at Minghe's physical body.

It seemed to be an attempt to destroy Minghe's physical body while his Primordial Spirit was out of his body.

Meanwhile, Jieyin, worried about Zhunti, unleashed a twelve-layered treasure pagoda. Golden light blazed, chasing after the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword, which had merged with Minghe's Primordial Spirit.

As for the other three Saints, Laozi, Tongtian, and Nuwa, they remained calm and did not act.

After all, with three Saints already intervening, a three-on-one situation, they shouldn't lose, right?

Meanwhile, Zhunti watched as Minghe suddenly erupted, his Primordial Spirit escaping into his magical artifacts, wielding his twin swords to attack.

Zhunti was both surprised and delighted. Surprised that Minghe dared to be so reckless, truly believing this was a one-on-one duel?

Delighted that Minghe would inevitably be severely wounded in this opportunity, as the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi thrown by Yuanshi was no mere decoration.

Once it struck, Minghe's physical body would either be blown apart on the spot or lose its head!

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi struck directly at the crown of the head, its power unfathomable. Even fellow Saints treated it with great respect.

Moreover, Minghe was merely a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal. Without the ability of immortality, how could he dare to be so presumptuous?

Zhunti was not afraid in the slightest. He channeled his magic power into the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner, and more lotuses emerged, layer upon layer, surrounding him to defend against Minghe's desperate gamble!

That's right, in Zhunti's eyes, Minghe was making a desperate gamble, trying to kill him without regard for the consequences.

Although he cursed Minghe as a madman in his heart, Zhunti also knew that Minghe's attack was no trivial matter and that he had to go all out to resist it.

Fortunately, he had the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner!

This was Zhunti's last thought.

Because in the next moment, the twin swords wielded by Minghe's Primordial Spirit had already struck, and torrents of blood-red light surged and churned.

Almost in a flash, they streaked across the sky and arrived before Zhunti.

Billions of green lotuses filled the void; such a defense could be called powerful.

But in the next moment, as the blood-red light struck, Zhunti's expression changed drastically.

Because the blood-red light was too fierce and too sharp. The terrifying sword light directly destroyed all the green lotuses in its path.

It pierced through.

With a flash of blood-red sword light, Zhunti knew nothing more.

Because he had been killed.

And only then did Jieyin's Twelve-Layered Treasure Pagoda arrive, covering downwards and managing to shield Zhunti's physical body.

It wasn't completely destroyed by the Yuantu Sword and the Abi Sword.

But even so, Jieyin watched helplessly as the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner was swept up by the sword light and plundered away.

Another sword strike.

With just one strike, Minghe had actually killed Zhunti.

He had killed a Saint!

Such a feat was simply appalling.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been unimaginable.

After all, who could have imagined that a Saint would be so vulnerable?

One strike to wound, one strike to kill.

It was that swift and decisive.

"Rumble!"

At the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi also slammed towards Minghe's head.

It looked like it would smash Minghe's head in the next moment, splattering blood everywhere.

But just then, Minghe's eyes suddenly opened, and a smile appeared on his face.

Above Minghe's head, a ruler appeared. This ruler cast down strands of Xuanhuang Qi, blocking the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
