The Nine Cauldron Sword Master's Shattered Dao Heart

As early as when he saw Zhu Yue preparing to get up and fight.

Tang Chen then noticed that his master's strength had improved again, and a surge of violent medicinal power overflowed from his body, along with the Nine Cauldrons Sword Intent.

For a fleeting moment, he genuinely believed that Zhu Yue, equipped with the Sect Protection Array, could gain the upper hand in a clash with the White-robed Youth.

It should at least be a draw, right?

However, reality played a cruel joke on him.

In this battle, it was far from a draw.

Until Zhu Yue was thrown back into the main hall, she had little chance to fight back!

Even when it revealed its thousand-foot-tall Dharma Form and unleashed the long river of Sword Intent that could tear apart the skin of Half-step True Person from the Tai'a Heavenly Supervision Department, it still failed to penetrate the heavy armor on the golden Dharma Form.

Instead, Ye Li pounced on him and cleanly shattered Tang Chen's last hope.

[Severely injuring the current sect leader of the Nine Tripod Sword Sect Divine Connection Realm expert, in public; Malice Points +!]

Now.

The entire Cloud Pine Mountain was deathly silent, with only heavy breathing echoing inside the main hall.

"Waaah..."

Zhu Yue's cold face was crushed deep into the ground by a tremendous force. Her mouth full of broken teeth and blood left her only able to utter muffled whimpers, but she still did not have the courage to remove the boot from her head.

For her, the realm of Martial Dao is greater than all things, and life itself is even above the Martial Dao.

After all, one's realm can be reshaped, but life is only given once.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they might still hope to abandon this physical body and escape as a fleeting, formless Spiritual Body.

But the boy in front of her was no ordinary person, Zhu Yue had no chance of escaping from his clutches!

Those bright, indifferent Golden Eyes carried boundless Killing Intent. Even without eye contact, they made her feel like she was being pricked by thorns. The almost tangible aura of death gripped her heart like a hand!

The terror in Zhu Yue's heart seemed to be overwhelming her, her body trembled more and more violently, and tears welled up in her eyes due to the excruciating pain all over her body, without her feeling that her posture was humble at all.

She was only afraid she wasn't humble enough!!

"Master..."

Tang Chen stared at the scene with bloodshot eyes, his voice hoarse.

He desperately hoped that Zhu Yue would stand firm in her principles and not be forced to kneel before the powerful.

But that's impossible.

He knew very well that such an action would only hasten his master's death.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and stare intently at the gold patterns on the hem of the white robe, not daring to look any further upwards, as the patterns stung his eyes.

Recalling his previous encounter at the Cloud Pine Mountain, the fear in his heart was particularly intense. His lips trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't utter a single word. "..."

The imposing White-robed Guest Elder sneered and kicked the kneeling woman in front of him away.

Immediately afterwards, his icy voice echoed from within the hall, "Choose to remain compliant with the foreign tribes, and hold back against the Tai'a Heavenly Supervision Department."

"You seem quite confident now that you're with me."

"Those who trespass on the mountain without permission shall be executed?"

"Look at your fawning attitude now! How dare you utter such arrogant words?"

Buzz!

The moment the words fell, golden lines burst forth from between Ye Li's brows, and a long spear gleaming with cold light appeared in his palm.

Zhu Yue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her whole body trembled!

Her mind was completely blank from the sudden turn of events, and she had no idea how to react.

But at least he's Half-step True Person.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to let her go, she desperately squeezed the remaining medicinal power in her nearly collapsing body and poured it into her thousands of Meridians!

[Glazed Lotus Heart] truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred object of the Qingwo Tribe.

Even though half of the medicinal power was used to amplify her previous Dharma Form, it is still able to make her originally depleted Qi Sea surge endlessly!

He also exuded the imposing aura befitting the Nine Cauldron Sword Master!

It's still steaming...

Ye Li's lips curled up slightly.

Buzz!

As a sharp Sword Intent surged forth from within him, he was surrounded and protected by a multitude of stars.

Zhu Yue finally took a deep breath, forced herself to sit up on one side, and said in a trembling voice, "Elder Ye, please be merciful!"

Seeing this, Tang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, before he could even begin to make any further connections in his mind...

Ye Li then crushed his hopes with his actions.

Twist your waist and twist your hips.

The imposing spear suddenly shot forward!

Having activated two Divine Mark, the [Myriad Transformation Divine Soldier Iron] is now not far from illuminating the third Divine Mark. With her true energy poured in, the Sword Intent surrounding Zhu Yue is as laughable as she is.

Pfft!

A flash of white light, like lightning, easily shattered Zhu Yue's Sword Intent, and instantly pierced through her body with a shocking wound, sending her tumbling hundreds of feet across the ground, blood splattering everywhere!

The walls inside the main hall suddenly shattered, and the blood-stained Divine Iron flew a distance before returning to the boy's Spiritual Platform.

"Aaaaaah!!--"

Zhu Yue clutched her shattered dantian, the emptiness and excruciating pain of her Qi Sea overwhelming her. Amidst these unexpected events, the renowned Nine Cauldron Sword Master's body convulsed, and a pig-like scream erupted from her red lips!

The destruction of the Qi Sea and the near collapse of the physical body are not fatal injuries for a martial artist at the half-step Divine Connection Realm.

However, the Innate Geng Metal Qi contained within the Divine Iron wreaked havoc within the body, causing a living hell as if millions of marrow-eating ants were gnawing at the Meridians!

The Forbidden Healing power contained within the [Shattered Life] Divine Mark forced Zhu Yue to watch helplessly as her cultivation level plummeted and her life force rapidly drained away!

"No... no!!"

[Detected that the Dao Heart of the Nine Cauldron Sword Master, a half-step Divine Connection Realm, is nearing collapse! Malice Points +!]

"Master!!"

Tang Chen's eyes were bloodshot; an unprecedented despair almost engulfed this renowned swordsman.

The scene before him was so impactful that it completely neutralized the terror he felt.

He struggled to his feet, enduring the excruciating pain within him, and roared at Ye Li:

"Ye Li!! If you have the guts, come at me!! I only killed a few elite Heavenly Supervision Department! Don't bother reporting this..."

BOOM!!

Before he could finish speaking, a pitch-black soul, at least half a step into the Divine Connection Realm, appeared out of thin air and rushed in front of him, smashing his jaw with a single punch!

The soul unleashed another punch.

Tang Chen's body was instantly sent flying, and he was forced to swallow the rest of his words.

A light, icy voice drifted into his ears. "The screams of the loser are as noisy as stray dogs on the street. Soon it will be your turn, and you'll be rewarded with a death even more gruesome than hers."

Upon hearing these emotionless words, Tang Chen's heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of his chest!

In his eyes, which were filled with utter despair.

Ye Li walked straight to Zhu Yue, who was screaming in agony, his expression calm.

Immediately afterwards.

A brilliant burst of fire suddenly erupted from his jet-black hair, and layers of surging, menacing flames rose around his body, as if they were a divine Deity.

The temperature inside the majestic main hall suddenly began to rise.
