This continued for a quarter of an hour, until the six members of the Heavenly Devil Sect attacked at once. Seeing this, Murong Xue shot backward.
Just then, Li Jing suddenly appeared behind her. His gaze turned ruthless as he brought his saber down.
Caught off guard, Murong Xue took the blow head-on. Her back split open, and blood gushed out like lava!
Murong Xue clenched her teeth, her face contorted. Li Jing gripped his saber with both hands and swung it at her neck, while the attacks of the six Heavenly Devil Sect members reached her at the same time.
An intense sense of danger surged into Murong Xue's heart. At that critical moment!
Murong Xue let out an angry shout, and a powerful force erupted from her.
Li Jing and the six Heavenly Devil Sect members were sent flying by the powerful force!
"Damn it! She actually broke through to the First Level of the Half-Saint Realm!"
Li Jing looked at Murong Xue, her expression grim. She hadn't expected Murong Xue to break through at such a critical moment.
"Attack! Don't let her break through!"
Li Jing shouted and charged straight at Murong Xue. The six Heavenly Devil Sect members also unleashed their strongest attacks.
In the distance, Murong Xue suddenly vanished. Li Jing and the others were shocked.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out. Li Jing looked toward the sound, and his heart sank. Murong Xue had appeared behind one of the Heavenly Devil Sect members at some point and plunged her sword into his heart.
Murong Xue vanished again. Li Jing's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly shouted, "Fall back!"
The five remaining Heavenly Devil Sect members were shocked and hurriedly retreated, but one of them was still a step too slow. His head went flying.
Before long, Murong Xue had killed all six Heavenly Devil Sect members, leaving only Li Jing.
"Fuck!"
Li Jing's rage soared to the heavens, his face twisted. He stared at Murong Xue, wishing he could tear her apart with his bare hands.
Li Jing roared, "You forced me to do this!"
With that, a talisman appeared in his hand, and he shattered it without hesitation.
The next moment!
A streak of light shot into the sky and transformed into a thousand-zhang saber intent. The terrifying presence it gave off made the entire secret realm tremble, and countless mountains crumbled. Then the terrifying saber intent slashed straight at Murong Xue.
Li Jing's face twisted. "Die! Hahaha!"
This talisman contained the Heavenly Devil Sect master's strongest attack. There was no way Murong Xue could block it!
Murong Xue gripped her sword tightly. Looking at the saber intent coming toward her, she slowly closed her eyes. By now, there was no Spiritual Qi left in her body, and she was forcing herself to hold on. She knew she couldn't withstand the saber intent.
She said bitterly, "Am I going to die?"
Just then!
A white-robed figure suddenly appeared in front of Murong Xue. He reached out and pointed a finger.
Crack!
The thousand-zhang saber intent shattered in an instant!
Watching this, Li Jing's expression froze.
It shattered?
It actually shattered!
How was that possible?!
Murong Xue opened her eyes at that moment. Looking at the familiar figure, she said in surprise, "It's you!"
Su Chen turned around and smiled faintly. His phoenix eyes glimmered with a faint golden light, and his handsome profile and flawless features were like a painting, even more beautiful than one.
Murong Xue's face immediately flushed red. She looked away, not daring to meet Su Chen's eyes.
His destructive power was too great!
She couldn't withstand it at all!
Su Chen smiled. "It's good that you're all right."
With that, he turned to look at Li Jing in the distance.
Li Jing finally came to his senses. Looking at Su Chen, he said in a trembling voice, "You... who are you?"
The corners of Su Chen's mouth lifted slightly. "Me? I'm just an ordinary person. Don't be afraid."
Li Jing: "..."
Murong Xue: "..."
Su Chen suddenly appeared in front of Li Jing and kicked him. Before Li Jing could react, he was sent flying!
The moment he stopped, Su Chen appeared in front of him again and drove a knee up beneath his neck.
Li Jing flew out once more and crashed heavily to the ground. His body convulsed as he spat blood, broken teeth mixed in with it.
"Sigh..."
Su Chen sighed helplessly. "I haven't fought in too long. I finally found someone I could spar with, but he couldn't take more than two hits. How boring."
When Li Jing heard this, his eyes rolled back, and he died of sheer anger.
How noble of you!
How amazing you are!
You fucking call that sparring?
Murong Xue was also speechless, but then her body went limp, and she fainted.
Su Chen appeared beside Murong Xue and caught her, then carried her down to the ground.
He gently laid Murong Xue on the ground. A pill appeared in his hand out of thin air, and he pinched her cheeks and placed it in her mouth.
After the pill entered her mouth, a green light radiated from Murong Xue, and a powerful breath of life spread from her. In an instant, her injuries healed, and color gradually returned to her pale face.
Heavenly Devil Sect
Inside the main hall, a middle-aged man sat in the seat of honor. He wore black robes, and his purple lips gave him a somewhat eerie appearance. Devil Qi wreathed his body, and the terrifying Devil Qi filled the entire hall.
The middle-aged man was none other than Luocha, master of the Heavenly Devil Sect!
Luocha looked at the Heavenly Devil Sect elders below him and said hoarsely, "Li Jing is dead."
"What?"
All the Heavenly Devil Sect elders were shocked, their faces full of disbelief.
Li Jing was dead?
How was that possible?
The first elder said gravely, "Li Jing was at the Ninth Level of the Venerable Realm. Who could have killed him?"
The second elder said, "Even if those holy land masters had personally tried to kill him, he could have fled if he couldn't beat them. How could he have died?"
The other elders also spoke up one after another, evidently unwilling to believe Li Jing had died.
Luocha closed his eyes and said, "Would I lie to you?"
The elders fell silent.
That was true. How could Luocha lie to them? Unless he had nothing better to do.
Luocha suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the elders below, and said, "Something must have happened in the Devil Venerable Secret Realm. Let's go!"
With that, his figure vanished.
The elders froze for a moment, then hurriedly vanished from where they stood.
Devil Venerable Secret Realm
Murong Xue slowly opened her eyes and looked at her body in surprise. Then she looked at Su Chen, who was sitting on a rock nearby, and asked, "How did I recover so quickly?"
Su Chen said calmly, "It was just an ordinary Saint Pill."
Murong Xue's eyes widened. "You... you said you gave me a Saint Pill?"
A Saint Pill!
In the lower realm today, there were no more than a handful of Alchemists capable of refining Saint Pills. As a result, Saint Pills were extremely rare. Even Murong Xue didn't have a single one.
Su Chen said indifferently, "Why make such a fuss? It's not like Saint Pills are anything rare."
The corner of Murong Xue's mouth twitched. "Do you even hear what you're saying?"
She was truly speechless.
