A Killing and Preparations for the Final Assault
Sizzle...
The poisonous beads collided violently with the lightning net, producing a piercing hissing sound.
The black poisonous mist was continuously evaporated by the purple lightning, and the light of the poisonous pearl dimmed at a visible speed.
The Blackwater Mystic Serpent's expression changed drastically. It could clearly feel that its natal poison pearl was being continuously purified and destroyed by the Divine Firmament Divine Lightning.
"Impossible! My Blackwater Poison Pearl is the most poisonous thing in the world. How could it be countered by your Thunderclap!" The Blackwater Mystic Serpent roared madly, urging its life essence with all its might, trying to take back the poison pearl.
But Fang Hexuan would never give it that chance.
He pointed his right hand, fingers joined like a sword, towards the sky, and proclaimed loudly. "Heavenly Dao's justice is clear, the Divine Firmament is the punishment; I summon the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens to forge a sword to slay evil!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gaping hole in the clouds above the heavens widened once more, and countless purple divine lightning bolts converged like dragons, condensing into a gigantic lightning sword a hundred feet long above Fang Hexuan's head.
The Thunder Sword is composed entirely of pure Divine Firmament Divine Lightning. Countless profound Thunder Dao runes are engraved on its blade, emanating a terrifying aura capable of destroying the world.
Where the sword blade pointed, even the void itself began to distort slightly, as if it could not withstand this powerful force.
This is the Purple Cloud Divine Ability -Divine Firmament Evil-Slaying Sword, the innate divine power of Daoist Fang Hexuan at the Dao Integration Realm.
Sensing the deadly threat emanating from the thunder sword, the Blackwater Mystic Serpent finally revealed fear in its eyes.
It could no longer care about its natal poison pearl, and suddenly turned around, trying to sneak into the Azure Jiao Marsh to escape.
"It's too late."
Fang Hexuan spoke calmly, and gently waved his right hand.
Boom!
The hundred-foot-long thunder sword, carrying unparalleled power, crashed down.
The purple sword light, like a shooting star piercing the darkness, instantly caught up with the Blackwater Mystic Serpent's body. Its Indestructible scales were as fragile as paper before the Divine Firmament Evil-Slaying Sword. The thunder sword sliced through the serpent's vital spot without any hindrance, splitting its massive body in two.
However, no blood spurted out. The upper body of the Blackwater Mystic Serpent struggled in the air for a few moments, its golden vertical pupils filled with resentment and despair. Finally, the light completely dimmed.
Its two halves turned into specks of light and slowly dissipated into the void.
Fang Hexuan raised his hand and took the poisonous bead, which had been purified by the lightning net and was now only a faint black aura, into his pocket.
After doing all this, Fang Hexuan's face suddenly turned pale, a striking red tinge appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his body swayed as if he were about to collapse.
Li Yunjing, with his keen senses, immediately rushed forward to help Fang Hexuan.
"Master, are you alright?" Li Yunjing asked with a worried expression.
Fang Hexuan forced a smile, "It's nothing, just excessive use of spiritual energy. Fortunately, the Blackwater Mystic Serpent was sealed for a long time and was only a soul, not a complete one, otherwise I would have been powerless."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing also felt a lingering fear.
Fang Hexuan is currently only at the Early Dao Union, and his strength is far inferior to that of the Blackwater Mystic Serpent at the Peak Dao Union.
The Blackwater Mystic Serpent was in a soul state, and its strength was far less than it had been back then.
In addition, Fang Hexuan himself had sufficient background and was a lightning cultivator with explosive combat power, which is why he was able to kill the Blackwater Mystic Serpent.
However, Fang Hexuan also paid a price.
He used supernatural Divine Ability that he had not yet fully mastered, resulting in the overuse of spiritual energy and the rupture of some of his meridians.
Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious; with some remedies and a period of rest, he would recover completely.
"Yunjing, the sudden appearance of this Blackwater Mystic Serpent is very likely related to the Luozhen Conquest Alliance. I think they're about to get restless," Fang Hexuan said.
Li Yunjing nodded. "Master, rest assured, I understand. Whatever they intend to do, they will pay the price."
The next day, at noon,
Inside the Heaven-Burning Hall of the Departing Fire Sect, Wan Tianshu and the other five Dao Union True Lord of the Departing Fire Sect were waiting for the latest intelligence to be sent back by the Departing Fire Sect's spies.
At this moment, a disciple of the Departing Fire Sect, holding a Jade Slip, rushed into the Heaven-Burning Hall.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, here is the latest intelligence from the front." The disciple knelt on one knee and held the Jade Slip slip high above his head.
Upon hearing this, Wan Tianshu immediately laughed and said, "Okay."
With a wave of his hand, he conjured the Jade Slip slip out of thin air.
He then eagerly released his Divine Sense to probe into the Jade Slip.
But when he saw the contents of the Jade Slip, his face immediately darkened.
Nothing happened.
The Jade Slip contained only four characters, yet it contained a wealth of information.
Beside Wan Tianshu, True Lord Chiyan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Wan Tianshu's gloomy expression.
"Sect Leader, what was the result?" True Lord Chiyan asked cautiously.
Wan Tianshu snorted coldly and tossed the Jade Slip slip to True Lord Chiyan.
True Lord Chiyan quickly took a look, and after reading it, his expression also turned ugly.
"How could nothing have happened?! News clearly came back last night that there was indeed unrest in Azure Jiao Marsh!"
True Lord Chiyan couldn't believe it. Shortly after he crushed the talisman last night, news came from the front that there was unrest in Azure Jiao Marsh.
Furthermore, astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy were emanating from the area, clearly indicating that a battle was taking place.
Therefore, True Lord Chiyan was certain that the Blackwater Mystic Serpent would be born.
Logically speaking, since the Blackwater Mystic Serpent has emerged, the Azure Jiao Marsh should at least be turned upside down, if not destroyed.
But the intelligence that came back was completely contrary to their expectations.
"Could the intelligence be wrong?" True Lord Liehuo frowned and asked.
"Impossible!" Wan Tianshu shook his head in denial. "This is intelligence sent back by the Thousand Mysteries Sect; it can't be wrong."
The Thousand Mysteries Sect possesses unique Secret Method, giving it an unparalleled advantage in intelligence gathering.
Therefore, this intelligence is definitely accurate.
Wan Tianshu, suppressing his anger, said, "The plan has failed. The Luozhen Sect must be on guard now. What should we do?"
True Lord Chiyan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. He remained silent for a moment, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Since the conspiracy has failed, let's abandon these schemes!" True Lord Chiyan said, enunciating each word clearly. "Sect Leader, in three days, a full-scale attack will commence! I refuse to believe that our vast alliance cannot defeat a mere Luozhen Sect!"
I'd like to see how many of us it can stop!
Upon hearing this, a fierce glint appeared in Wan Tianshu's eyes.
He fully agreed with the True Lord Chiyan's suggestion.
The Luozhen Conquest Alliance was ultimately united by shared interests.
The longer the delay goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.
After all, people's patience is limited. Right now, they are still able to muster their Qi and Blood and join the alliance to fight against the Luozhen Sect.
However, as time went on, it became difficult for other members of the league not to change their minds.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. Pass the word: the final assault on the Luozhen Sect will begin in three days!"
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison, a glint of excitement in their eyes.
Three days later, the final assault!
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Luozhen Conquest Alliance.
All the cultivators began to rub their hands together, preparing for the upcoming great battle; their eyes were filled with longing and anticipation!
Meanwhile, inside the Grotto-Heaven on Luozhen Island, Li Yunjing looked at the Jade Slip in his hand and learned about the Luozhen Conquest Alliance's plan.
The Luozhen Sect still has allies, even though these allies cannot openly stand up for themselves.
Li Yunjing stood on the star-gazing platform, took out his Law Treasure and slowly wiped it clean. There was no fear in his eyes, only unwavering determination.
"Bring it on."
"I, Li Yunjing, and all the disciples of the Luozhen Sect, are here waiting for you."
"If you want to raze Luozhen Island Grotto-Heaven, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
