The head steward was startled.
Lin Xuan was also startled.
He never expected that Lin Zhiruo would be provoked to the point of drawing her sword!
As he watched the sword light coalesce, Lin Xuan, who hadn't been too worried about his life, suddenly felt a chill.
This Ten Thousand Li Mountains and Rivers Seal couldn't kill him, but he had truly experienced the Sword Qi of his ancestor, which could very well have been deadly!
During this time, he worked hard to teach Lin Zhiruo, but what he taught her was nothing more than to help Lin Zhiruo control her power.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal.
Her power was too chaotic and unstable.
When they are weak, they can't even cut down a single tree.
When it was at its strongest, it almost overturned not only trees, but also the princess's residence. He and the Vast Sea Saint King were nearly injured in the process; it was terrifying beyond belief.
Tsk!
Lin Xuan felt helpless. He reached into his Storage Bag and grabbed the Great Saint Summoning Talisman.
There was no other way. If all else failed, he would have to summon a Great Saint Sage to try and break through this shell. The combined power of two Great Saint might give him a glimmer of hope and allow him to escape...
However, even faster than him tearing off the talisman was Lin Zhiruo's sword light.
A loud thud.
The sword light exploded and struck the surface of the Mountains and Rivers Seal.
Everyone felt the immense power with trepidation, but Dongfang Muxue was filled with hope.
Lin Xuan is no ordinary person.
The red-clad man accompanying him, who resembled a follower, was also no ordinary person.
Perhaps this little girl in white is quite extraordinary too?
maybe...
There's no guarantee.
As everyone watched with bated breath, the sword light struck the surface of the Mountains and Rivers Seal, shattering like a bubble.
It wasn't even broken open; there wasn't even a trace left.
A classic case of much ado about nothing.
Great Saint Mingli, who was originally terrified and had a dark expression, instantly recovered his composure and burst into laughter upon seeing the seemingly fragile One Sword. His laughter was full of mockery.
He controlled the Ten Thousand Li Mountains and Rivers Seal and Ten Thousand Li Mountains and Rivers Seal, which enveloped him and protected him from attacks by others. However, because of this, he could no longer move and could only refine Lin Xuan.
But that didn't stop him from sneer, "Ha, I thought you were something special."
"This little girl, who came from who-knows-where, is truly ignorant of her own limitations. How dare she break the Ten Thousand Li Mountains and Rivers Seal?"
"Madness."
His comments reflect the thoughts of many.
Dongfang Muxue was initially disappointed, then chuckled self-deprecatingly.
She really is having some wild ideas...
Having such an Great Saint follower as the man in red, a figure of great sage status, is already awe-inspiring and beyond reason. What exactly is she hoping for?
Lin Xuan is indeed very powerful.
But that doesn't mean that everyone around him is a hidden talent.
She's overthinking it...
Almost everyone was disappointed and subconsciously denied the flutter in their hearts they had just felt. Only Lin Zhiruo didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
She was too weak.
She was so weak that no one even wanted to care about her or pay attention to her.
This allowed her to stand guard in front of the Ten Thousand Li Mountains and Rivers Seal, striking with her One Sword after One Sword, seemingly in vain, attempting to shake the Ten Thousand Li Mountains and Rivers Seal and rescue Lin Xuan inside.
She had no idea how to use the Spiritual Power within her body, let alone how to wield her sword. Those instinctive instincts had been forgotten, or even feared, by her as she lost her memory.
All she knew was that she couldn't stop.
Xiao Xuan once said that he was an elder.
Therefore, I should be better than everyone else.
Xiao Xuan said the same thing.
I simply forgot.
They simply forgot.
She can do it.
She'll definitely remember.
How do you use a sword?
sword...
For a fleeting moment, the wind seemed to stop.
Everyone on the battlefield, whether willingly or forced, had to stop what they were doing.
Almost as if bewitched, they subconsciously gazed at the white figure standing in the air.
A cyan Sword-Ray slowly condensed in her hand, like a pool of water finally beginning to stir.
Great Saint Mingli was initially a little nervous, but then he thought of the first One Sword, and his heart relaxed, leaving only a sneer on his lips. He privately thought that this time would be the same as the last time.
but...
Everything is different now.
Lin Zhiruo's eyes were filled with tears, and a single tear slowly fell, hanging on her cheek.
Lin Xuan could hear the murmurs of his ancestors outside the Mountains and Rivers Seal.
"I won't allow it..."
"You've taken away those I cherish from me again!"
With One Sword, it fell.
The Sword Qi was like a quietly blooming orchid, gentle and silent, yet it burst forth suddenly, so fast that no one was prepared and could not ignore it.
The soul hidden within this broken body is surging.
A trace of the aura belonging to the former Lin Zhiruo dissipated, mixed with Sword Qi, and instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield.
Everyone enveloped in this aura froze on the spot, their hearts pounding wildly, and even their eyes filled with fear.
Including the Great Saint Mingli.
He couldn't move; only the rapidly shifting fear in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil.
No.
wrong!
This One Sword was completely different from the previous ones!!!
What's wrong with this woman?
Isn't she a mortal?
Why, why would even a Great Saint feel fear at such a level of power?!
The Clear Shadow Sword sliced through the void.
In an instant, the wind stopped.
Sword Qi swept through the imperial city!
boom!
Amidst the stunned and bewildered gazes of the crowd, the imperial city of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty...
The imperial city, which had withstood a fierce battle fought by nearly six Great Saint, remained intact, and just like that...
It cracked.
Like the Ten Thousand Li Mountains and Rivers Seal.
It split in two.
Completely shattered.
It shattered without a doubt.
Lin Zhiruo looked at Lin Xuan, who appeared unharmed in mid-air, her eyes still clear, and she tried to smile as if she wanted to say something. But the next moment, her eyelids drooped, and the Clear Shadow Sword in her hand fell straight to the ground.
The person fell heavily to the ground.
"Ancestor!?"
Lin Xuan disregarded everything else, leaped forward, and caught his swaying ancestor. His brows furrowed, filled with worry.
The white hem of his clothes tangled together, and he saw Lin Zhiruo's half-closed eyes.
Those eyes were filled with weariness, yet they shone brightly.
Her lips twitched slightly, and she managed to squeeze out a few words.
" Xiao Xuan... that's great, you're out! Xiao Xuan... I did what you taught me..."
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes closed completely and silently. If Lin Xuan hadn't been able to feel her shallow breathing, he would have thought she had already perished.
Lin Xuan's face turned somewhat pale.
It was so close.
I was just a hair's breadth away from splitting in two.
But the fear that followed was nothing compared to his current anger.
He gently handed the ancestor in his arms to Ji Zhenyi beside him, took a deep breath, and looked at Great Saint Mingli, who was still immersed in shock and had been severely injured by the backlash.
"Today, you must die!"
