"Dong-!!"
No sooner had Blade Ghost finished speaking than heaven and earth suddenly shuddered, and a dazzling beam descended from above, illuminating the entire world around them.
"Boom-!"
More terrifying still, the light was like blazing true fire: the instant it descended, it burned the Otherworldly Heavenly Demons filling half the sky to ashes.
Before the Spirit Mirror, Heavenly Lord Shihu said, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"Kang Cangzi? That legendary half-immortal who has lived from the time of the Five Emperors until now?"
Although Xiahou You had never heard of Kang Cangzi's deeds, the sight before her likewise left her incredulous:
"Before we could even see how he struck, he had already wiped out half the Otherworldly Heavenly Demons. This half-immortal's combat strength seems far greater than Dong Cangzi's!"
Then, beneath the horrified gazes of everyone present, Xu Taiping included, an aged yet gentle voice rang out from the light enveloping the entire sky:
"Old friend, surely it's fair for us to take half these Otherworldly Heavenly Demons each?"
Blade Ghost immediately burst into laughter:
"Fair, perfectly fair!"
As he spoke, Blade Ghost continued sweeping his saber into the Otherworldly Heavenly Demons before him, saying without looking back:
"But, elder brother, you really must discipline that rebellious disciple of yours!"
Soon, Kang Cangzi's voice rang out again:
"Rebellious disciple! Withdraw that divine ability at once!"
Dong Cangzi, however, seemed not to have heard him at all. Before that mass of golden light had fully descended, he thrust his sword once more toward Xu Taiping within Blade Ghost's shadow.
"Boom-!!"
Even from over a thousand zhang away, the might of Dong Cangzi's strike still enveloped Xu Taiping in an instant.
"Boom!"
Merely enveloped by the sword intent, Xu Taiping could not withstand it despite now being in the Dao Integration
