According to intelligence, Han Xuanji had only reached the Sage Realm Stage a thousand years ago. No matter how talented he was, it was impossible for him to possess such combat power in such a short time.
It appears that he indeed only possesses the cultivation level of Sage.
The ability to unleash such powerful combat strength must be due to the power of the formation.
Perhaps it even contains treasures bestowed by powerful beings of the Sacred Court.
"Yes, that must be it."
While Zi was still pondering, a shrill scream rang out.
"Sir, save me... why won't you save me...?"
The voice of the Azure Scale God echoed across the battlefield, filled with despair and resentment.
Its body completely disintegrated under the sword light, and its core essence was also completely destroyed by the Sword Intent. A Peak Sage Eternal Deity died so simply.
It's important to understand how powerful the life force of Eternal Deity is. Even Holy Lord would have to go to great lengths to completely annihilate an Eternal Deity Peak Sage of the Saint realm.
However, Han Xuanji made a move from afar across the battlefield and annihilated him.
"Master is mighty!"
"Master is invincible!"
The cultivators in the city were greatly encouraged by this scene, especially Han Xuanji's disciples and Little White, who, although not participating, had been cheering them on.
Qin Xin, who had just joined the group, was not surprised. After all, she already knew that Han Xuanji's strength was extremely powerful, far beyond that of an ordinary Sage.
However, this beast tide is not so simple, and Zi is not going to give up after just this one setback.
Han Xuanji's figure stood tall in the void.
The figure exuded an aura that seemed to indicate he was only at the Sage Realm Stage, yet the power he unleashed far surpassed that level.
In reality, this was merely an avatar he created using the " Hundred-Turn Immeasurable Instruction," and his true power was indeed only at the Sage Realm Stage.
However, Han Xuanji's foundation was too profound. Even his casual moves contained profound mysteries comparable to the Peak Holy Lord or even approaching the Saint King.
"I think I've acted pretty convincingly, haven't I?"
Han Xuanji secretly made his plans.
They've done their best to act so as not to scare away these ferocious beasts, and they've gone to great lengths to achieve this effect.
If he were to unleash his true power, he could easily wipe out the entire area with a single sword strike, obliterating all the Eternal Deity and ferocious beasts present, including those few Eternal Deity at the Holy Lord level.
"So patient?"
Han Xuanji stood atop the city wall, gently pointing his finger into the void.
The myriad sword lights condensed in the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram surged once more, and under the positioning of the Wuliang Eye, the other three leaders of the Eternal Deity could not escape the pursuit of the sword lights either.
The screams of the Azure Scale God seemed to still echo across the wilderness as another god, shaped like a giant ape, was pierced through the chest by dozens of sword lights at the same time.
The giant ape roared, trying to make a final stand, but the moment the sword light entered its body, it turned its internal organs into a chaotic mess.
"Help me... Your Excellency, help me..."
The giant ape deity stretched out its hand toward the rear of the beast tide, its voice filled with a desperate plea.
It never understood, even in its death, why the intelligence reports that promised "a Sage in charge" and "easy battles" had turned into this situation.
The crimson-red Eternal Deity who had attacked earlier, and the other jet-black serpent-like god, seeing the situation was dire, turned and tried to flee towards the Desolate Domain.
Han Xuanji would never give them that chance.
The sword light within the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram had already locked onto the auras of these two individuals, and no matter how they tried to escape, the sword light clung to them like a persistent, venomous wound.
But instead of killing them outright, they held back a great deal of power, giving them the illusion that they could escape.
"No... this cultivator is terrifying! Is this the prodigy among cultivators?"
The black serpent spirit roared as it ran, its voice filled with terror.
"My lord! My lord, please help!"
The crimson giant also shouted at the top of his lungs towards the rear, his voice distorted.
At this moment, the beast tide, having lost its leader's restraint, immediately descended into chaos.
The ferocious beasts, which had been suppressed and driven to charge by the Eternal Deity through their bloodlines, were now in complete chaos as the source of the suppression disappeared. Some of them collapsed to the ground, some turned and ran, and others simply began to tear each other apart.
On the city wall, Li Taiqing looked at the devastation outside the city and couldn't help but swallow hard.
He turned to his fellow disciples beside him and whispered:
"Master, this acting is so fake! How can a Sage Realm cultivator single-handedly destroy four Peak Sage Eternal Deity?"
Lu Fan nodded repeatedly beside him:
"Exactly, if I were that person, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death."
Han Xuanji listened to his disciples' murmurs, his face remaining expressionless, but in his heart he was making plans.
Zi never showed up.
That bastard is even more cautious than he expected; he's a real old fox.
He deliberately maintained the normal power of the formation and the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram just now to give Zi a false impression and lure the other party into making a move.
But Zi didn't take the bait.
No wonder he, as a pro-war faction member, has managed to survive Undying years despite being wanted by the Sacred Court.
"Fine, you're being cautious, huh?"
Han Xuanji sighed inwardly.
He raised his hand, and the sword light in the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram slowly receded.
Then he spoke loudly towards the outside of the city, his voice not loud, but clearly carried throughout the entire battlefield:
"Zi, I've already slaughtered your four dogs for you."
If you still want to fight, come over here yourself.
If you don't want to fight, then get back to the Desolate Domain and never let me see you again.
Behind the beast tide, Zi stood high up, his hair disheveled by the wind, his eerie vertical pupils fixed on the direction of Thousand Souls City.
His expression was beyond ugly; he had watched helplessly as the four leaders he had sent out were slaughtered like chickens, without even the power to fight back.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
He gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words through his clenched teeth.
The intelligence he received clearly stated that Han Xuanji had only cultivated for a few thousand years, and had not even reached the Sage Realm for a thousand years.
The fact that it could unleash such powerful energy must have been due to the power of the formation.
" Youying, you piece of trash! I'll skin you alive! You couldn't even gather this much information!"
Zi cursed again, but despite his curses, he knew in his heart that now was not the time to pursue Youying.
After all, this kind of information is certainly not something the other side could easily obtain; it must be very well hidden.
For a moment, he didn't bother to consider whether there was a problem with the information about Youying.
Thousand Souls City was his first line of defense in his attack on Nine Mysteries Prefecture. If he couldn't even take it down, all the subsequent plans would fall through.
However, his life-saving nature made him hesitate.
His years of being wanted by cultivators instilled in him a habit: if he sensed something was amiss, he wouldn't rush into anything; he would first check if it was a trap.
The fact that Han Xuanji appeared here is itself the biggest problem.
The other party's identity is extraordinary; it's likely that the Sacred Court has already laid a trap for him.
It would be very risky for him to take action personally, but it would be too embarrassing to just back down now. Besides, "Candle" meant that he should perform well.
If I go back and report like this, I'm afraid I'll still lose my life.
Before Zi could make up his mind, an Eternal Deity of the Saint Holy Lord level couldn't stand it any longer. He also had the appearance of a giant, but his body was more blue. At this moment, his eyes were flashing with lightning, and he was furious.
The crimson giant being hunted was its subordinate, and also Eternal Deity of its lineage.
