The Snow Empress roared, manipulating the Ziwei Emperor Bell to strike the General Black Armor. The Emperor Bell blazed with intense purple light, its resounding chime shaking the heavens and earth, pressing down on the General Black Armor. The General Black Armor's expression changed; he could feel the Ziwei Emperor Bell's imperial might strongly suppress his sinister energy. Daring not to be careless, he quickly circulated his sinister energy, wielding his black broadsword as he slashed at the Ziwei Emperor Bell.
"Clang!" The black broadsword struck the Ziwei Emperor Bell, producing a crisp metallic clang and Mars flying. The General Black Armor felt a powerful recoil force rushing towards him, his body involuntarily retreating, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, and his aura weakening.
"Hahaha, the Ziwei Emperor Bell truly lives up to its name, its power is boundless!" The General Black Armor wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, a fierce glint in his eyes. "However, do you think you can defeat me like this? You're too naive! Attack! Kill without mercy!"
As the General Black Armor finished speaking, the Underworld disciples and Yin soldiers behind him rushed towards the righteous disciples led by Snow Empress and Qingyunzi. In an instant, the righteous energy and the evil energy collided in the valley, sword energy crisscrossed, saber energy was sharp, screams, the sound of weapons clashing and explosions intertwined, and the sound of explosions echoed throughout the Netherworld Valley.
The Snow Empress manipulated the Ziwei Emperor Bell, traversing the sky, its tolling continuously as it bombarded the disciples and Yin soldiers of the Underworld. Each toll slayed a group of Yin soldiers while suppressing the Yin energy of the Underworld disciples. Qingyunzi led the righteous disciples in a fierce battle against the Underworld disciples. He wielded his azure longsword, unleashing streaks of azure sword energy that slashed towards the Underworld disciples, each strike killing one Underworld them.
The General Black Armor looked at the scene before him, a fierce glint in his eyes. He hadn't expected that the righteous disciples led by the Snow Empress and Qingyunzi would be so tenacious, and the power of the Ziwei Emperor Bell far exceeded his imagination. He knew that if things continued like this, his subordinates would be killed sooner or later, and he would be unable to complete the task given to him by the Great Emperor Fengdu.
"Damn it! You righteous scum, how can you be so stubborn!" The General Black Armor roared, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes. He circulated the sinister energy within his body, pouring all his cultivation into the black greatsword in his hand. The greatsword, engulfed in raging sinister flames, grew ever thicker, and hurtled towards the Snow Empress. " Black Fiend Saber Technique, First Form, Netherworld Slash!"
A massive black blade aura emanated from the greatsword, carrying a world-destroying power as it slashed towards the Snow Empress. This black blade aura contained a powerful, sinister energy; wherever it passed, the air was corroded and shattered, and even the imperial might of the Ziwei Emperor Bell began to be suppressed.
The Snow Empress's expression was solemn. She could sense that the power of this black blade energy was even stronger than the attack of the Black Impermanence. Daring not to be careless, she immediately poured all the Ziwei Power within her body into the Ziwei Emperor Bell. The purple light on the Emperor Bell surged to its peak, and the bell's resounding chime shook the heavens and earth as it blasted towards the black blade energy. " Ziwei Emperor Technique, First Form: Emperor Bell Suppresses the World!"
With a deafening roar, the Emperor Bell collided with the black sword energy. The purple light and the black sword energy intertwined, bursting out dazzling sparks. The powerful shockwave shook the entire Netherworld Valley, sending rocks flying and the Yin energy dissipating.
Snow Empress felt a powerful, sinister force rush towards her. Her throat tasted sweet, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body flew backward involuntarily, crashing heavily into the stone wall of the valley. Her aura became extremely weak. The Ziwei Emperor Bell also dimmed and trembled slightly as it hovered beside her.
"Holy Maiden!" Qingyunzi's eyes flashed with fear upon seeing this scene. He wanted to rush over to support the Snow Empress, but he was entangled by several experts from the Underworld and could not break free. He could only watch helplessly as the Snow Empress fell to the ground, his eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness.
The General Black Armor looked at the Snow Empress lying on the ground, a smug smile on his face, " Snow Empress, weren't you very powerful? Didn't you want to stop me? Now, why can't you? Hand over the Ziwei Emperor Bell obediently, surrender, and I might spare your life!" With that, he moved and rushed towards the Snow Empress Snow Empress, swinging his black broadsword and smashing it down hard on her head.
At this critical moment, Qingyunzi unleashed a powerful force. He brandished his cyan longsword, unleashing a barrage of sharp sword energy that blasted towards the Underworld experts who were entangled with him, instantly killing several of Underworld. Then, his figure shot forward like an arrow, charging towards the General Black Armor. His longsword, imbued with a strong sense of righteousness, aimed directly at the General Black Armor's back.
"You're courting death!" The General Black Armor sensed the attack from behind, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. Without turning around, he swung his black broadsword at Qingyunzi. Qingyunzi was prepared; he dodged the attack by sidestepping the black broadsword, and at the same time, his longsword thrust out, aiming straight for the General Black Armor's waist.
"Clang!" The longsword struck the black armor of the General Black Armor, producing a crisp metallic clang and sparks Mars. The General Black Armor's armor was a treasure of the Underworld, containing powerful evil energy. Qingyunzi's longsword not only failed to pierce the armor, but was also struck by a powerful recoil that made his arm go numb and his body involuntarily retreat.
"With your meager skills, you think you can injure me?" The General Black Armor sneered, turning and charging towards Qingyunzi. With a swing of his black broadsword, streaks of black blade energy bombarded Qingyunzi. Qingyunzi's face was pale, his aura weak. He had just unleashed a powerful attack, killing several experts from the Underworld, consuming a large amount of spiritual energy. He was now completely unable to withstand the General Black Armor's attacks, and could only dodge continuously. His wounds multiplied, and blood stained his Daoist robe.
Snow Empress lay on the ground, watching Qingyunzi being chased by the General Black Armor, her heart filled with grief. She used the last bit of strength in her body to try to control the Ziwei Emperor Bell to support Qingyunzi, but the Emperor Bell still trembled slightly and could not gather a trace of purple light. She knew that she had to recover her strength as soon as possible, otherwise, Qingyunzi's life would be in danger, and their mission to find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant would fail completely.
Just then, an ancient and majestic voice suddenly rang in Snow Empress's mind. "Successor of Ziwei, calm your mind, comprehend the power of the Emperor Bell, awaken the Ziwei Emperor Soul within you, and you will be able to unleash the full power of the Emperor Bell to suppress all evil."
Snow Empress's heart stirred. She knew that this voice must be the remnant soul of the Great Emperor Ziwei, hidden within the Ziwei Emperor Bell. She immediately closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and completely opened her heart to communicate deeply with the Ziwei Emperor Bell Emperor Bell, sensing the imperial power contained within it and awakening the Ziwei Emperor Soul within her.
