A Surprise Attack and a Desperate Fight

Liu Yi flew to the Purple Star City, then suddenly turned around and unleashed the Heaven-Opening Divine Ability without hesitation.

He unleashed a sword Xu Liang that Heaven-Opening, as fast as lightning, aimed directly at Xu Liang, who possessed the highest cultivation level, the fastest speed, and was the closest to him.

Xu Liang was completely unprepared for Liu Yi's decision not to take the opportunity to escape, but instead to turn around and fight back, catching Xu Liang off guard.

In haste, he summoned High-Grade Spirit Artifact sword to block in front of him, while simultaneously activating a spiritual energy shield and pushing the defense of his Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact armor to its limit.

The sword light, which seemed to Heaven-Opening, contained the power to Destruction chaos. With a crisp clang, the spirit sword was instantly blasted away.

The fierce sword light, undiminished in its momentum, successively cleaved through the spiritual energy shield and the Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact armor.

A gruesome sword wound was left on Xu Liang's body, running straight down from his brow, nearly splitting him in two.

Blood gushed continuously from the wound, and the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent lingered there, wreaking havoc.

Xu Liang hurriedly took out healing pills from his storage ring, circulated his Cultivation Method to refine them, expelled the Sword Qi from his body, and recovered from his injuries.

However, the essence of the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent was extremely high and domineering, making it difficult to dispel for a time.

Xu Liang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, using it to force out some of the surging Sword Qi within his body.

He turned to look at the three Void Return Realm cultivators beside him, and seeing that they were terrified by the sudden turn of events and were cowering in fear, he roared angrily:

"You bastards! Why aren't you three taking down this criminal?! That powerful move he just used must have drained him of his strength; he can't possibly use it again. What are you afraid of?"

The three Void Return Realm cultivators reacted instantly upon hearing this.

Liu Yi's attack was far more powerful than his cultivation level, and he must have already consumed a lot of energy, making it impossible for him to launch a second attack.

They immediately suppressed their fear, and their eyes sharpened again.

Ignoring their reactions, Liu Yi pounced on Xu Liang with lightning speed, his sharp sword light slicing through the sky and his Sword Qi soaring into the heavens.

Although Xu Liang was Dao Integration Realm cultivator, he had been severely injured and could not exert much of his strength.

How could Liu Yi let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by?

Xu Liang's expression changed. Faced with such a fierce attack, he immediately endured his injuries and retreated.

With his hands forming a hand seal, a hundred Sword Qi instantly appeared in front of him, overwhelming Liu Yi's sword light.

"Boom!"

A continuous roar resounded as violent Sword Qi raged in all directions.

Even the three Void Return Realm cultivators who were about to attack stopped and quickly dodged.

Liu Yi directly approached Xu Liang, braving the Sword Qi, and once again unleashed the Heaven-Opening Divine Ability to Xu Liang's astonished gaze.

The Heaven-Opening Sword, carrying the momentum of Heaven-Opening, fiercely slashed towards Xu Liang.

Xu Liang was caught in a fierce internal and external attack, with Sword Qi raging within him, leaving him no time to dodge.

He could only endure his injuries and maintain a spiritual energy shield while unleashing a barrage of Sword Qi to block the attack.

But these attacks were instantly annihilated by the Heaven-Opening, sharp sword light.

"No! I'm not reconciled! I haven't even become an immortal yet!"

Xu Liang only had time to let out a miserable scream before his primordial Primordial Spirit was completely annihilated by the Heaven-Opening Sword, and he perished on the spot.

"Oh no! Lord Xu is dead! What should we do?" A cultivator at the Void Return Realm suddenly stopped in his tracks, exclaiming in shock.

Liu Yi didn't give them any time to hesitate or discuss.

If Xu Liang hadn't been careless, he might not have succeeded.

Now that the strongest Dao Integration Realm has been killed by his own scheme, the remaining three Void Return Realm cultivators, though strong, are not without the power to fight him.

If you're lucky, you might even try to kill them; even if you fail, you can still hone your combat skills.

He approached rapidly, radiating murderous intent, and swung his sword, unleashing three earth-shattering Sword Qi that instantly enveloped the three of them.

"Kill! Lord Xu is dead. If we go back, we will surely be severely punished! This is a mission personally assigned by the God of Light. We have no choice but to fight to the death!"

A cultivator at the Void Return Realm gritted his teeth and shouted, "Only a sinner could unleash such a powerful attack with the aid of Law Treasure!"

"But his cultivation is only equivalent to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, so his internal energy is definitely limited. It's impossible for him to maintain such an intensity of attack indefinitely!"

The three Void Return Realm cultivators' eyes narrowed suddenly, and as their spiritual power surged, three fierce attacks slammed into the sword light.

They immediately surrounded Liu Yi and launched an attack.

However, before the attack could get close, it was blocked by the protective light shield of the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Cauldron of Creation, causing layers of energy ripples to spread out with a roar.

Liu Yi gripped the Heaven-Opening Sword, unleashing a series of dazzling sword lights, each as bright as the blazing sun, aimed directly at the three men's vital points.

In an instant, a fierce battle erupted, with the figures of both sides clashing in the void.

The deafening roar of the collision reverberated throughout the universe, and a violent torrent of energy swept across the land like a tsunami.

Wherever it passed, space twisted violently, and dark void rifts spread continuously under the impact of energy, making the battle increasingly dangerous and intense.

Suddenly, Liu Yi unleashed his power, slashing out with his sword. A sword light that could cleave the heavens and destroy the earth first Destruction the attack of a Void Return Realm cultivator.

With its remaining force, it shattered the opponent's spiritual energy shield and broke through their protective armor, sending them flying backward.

A huge wound appeared on the cultivator's chest, and blood kept gushing out.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yi unleashed the Great Yin-Yang Destruction Divine Light with his other hand, sweeping it towards his opponent after the sword light, striking him directly without any obstruction.

The power to Destruction all laws and destroy all things erupted instantly, annihilating the Void Return Realm cultivator into nothingness.

Before Liu Yi could even rejoice at killing one person, the attacks of the other two Void Return Realm cultivators landed, instantly striking the protective light shields of the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Cauldron of Creation.

With a "crack," cracks appeared on the first layer of protective light shield, and Liu Yi was blasted away, his Qi and Blood churning within him.

Liu Yi immediately stabilized his flying body, and his inner True Power poured into the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Cauldron of Creation like a tide, restoring the protective light shield that was on the verge of shattering.

His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he locked onto the remaining two Void Return Realm cultivators.

"Only the two of you are left." Liu Yi said coldly, his tone chilling.

"The other two have already left, so I'll reluctantly escort you down to keep them company."

Before he finished speaking, he had already swung the Heaven-Opening Sword in his hand, and two dazzling sword lights that pierced through the sky went straight out.

The incomparably sharp Sword Qi tore through the void, causing the surrounding space to distort, and dark spatial cracks spread out with the sword light.

"Insolent sinner! Stop your arrogance!" Upon seeing this, a cultivator at the Void Return Realm, his eyes flashing with barely concealed fear, forced himself to remain calm and roared:

"You're only relying on your Law Treasure to launch a sneak attack. In terms of real skill, you're no match for us. As long as the two of us join forces and stay together, you have absolutely no chance of winning!"

As they spoke, the two quickly closed in and launched their attacks simultaneously.

A violent bolt of lightning roared like a silver dragon, and a condensed blade of energy ripped through the sky like a bolt of lightning; the two attacks fiercely met Liu Yi's sword light.

"Boom! Boom!" Two deafening explosions rang out.

Sword light, blade energy, and thunderous power collided violently in the air, and the violent energy torrent tore through the void, forcefully creating spatial rifts.

A cold glint flashed in Liu Yi's eyes. He poured all his True Power into the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Cauldron of Creation, and with the protection of the protective light shield, he charged straight at his opponent amidst the overwhelming energy surge.
