Chapter 152 Ancestor Han Shows His Supernatural Power And Slashes With A Sword
Chapter 152: Han Laozu's Mighty Sword Strike in the Mid-stage of True Martial Realm
Leizhou, Tianxuan Mountain.
A massive cloud skyship hovered above the mountain range, with numerous disciples of Tianxuan Mountain carrying various cultivation resources into it. They were filled with excitement, finally able to leave Leizhou.
Gongsun Yun and the three ancestors watched the busy scene, their faces showing a sense of relief. In another half an hour, everything would be settled, and the skyship would be able to depart.
Before this, Tianxuan Mountain had been gathering disciples and all available resources. They wanted to take everything with them so they could quickly rise again in a new place.
In recent days, the Great Qian Dynasty had once again retreated a long distance. Huozhou and Qingzhou had almost evacuated half of their forces, and in a few more days, they would be able to completely withdraw to the central six provinces.
Leizhou had been under the rule of the Yin Yang Sect for several days now, and a large number of forces that did not follow or were unable to follow the Great Qian Army's retreat had to accept the rule of the Yin Yang Sect. Tianxuan Mountain was the most prominent among them.
Among the four major sects in Leizhou, Hehuan Sect was a branch of the Yin Yang Sect and acted as the vanguard in the invasion of the Great Qian Dynasty. Zhenyang Sect and Xijian Pool had retreated with the Great Qian Dynasty, leaving only Tianxuan Mountain behind. However, Tianxuan Mountain did not join the Yin Yang Sect.
The forces in the three provinces were mostly aware that Tianxuan Mountain had three Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters returning, which was the confidence of Tianxuan Mountain. However, without joining the Yin Yang Sect, these few Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters could not stop the invasion of the Yin Yang Sect.
Previously, the Yin Yang Sect was busy taking over Leizhou, pursuing the Great Qian Army in Qingzhou and Huozhou, and did not pay attention to Tianxuan Mountain. This would involve the power of the Yin Yang Sect and reduce their achievements in pursuing the Great Qian Dynasty.
After all, Tianxuan Mountain had three or four Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters and a protective mountain formation. Without the intervention of a True Martial Realm Martial King, the Yin Yang Sect would need at least six or more Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters to break through Tianxuan Mountain.
The leaders of the Yin Yang Sect's army, such as the three elders and four elders, considered it not cost-effective. Tianxuan Mountain couldn't escape from there, so it would be the best choice to threaten Tianxuan Mountain after completely annexing Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou.
The idea was good, but a piece of information forced the three elders to make a change. Tianxuan Mountain actually had a spatial flying ship that could evacuate the entire mountain. How could they allow this?
The plan of the three elders and others was to threaten Tianxuan Mountain to join the Yin Yang Sect and convert to the demonic path. If not, they would destroy Tianxuan Mountain.
Now that Tianxuan Mountain wanted to move as a whole, they naturally would not allow it. Not only did they want to keep Tianxuan Mountain, but they also wanted to seize that spatial flying ship.
Being able to carry the entire Tianxuan Mountain and move at a speed comparable to the True Martial Realm was a great treasure. The Yin Yang Sect did not have such a flying ship, only the Demon Sect did.
After discussing, the four elders immediately returned to the Yin Yang Sect and invited another True Martial Realm Martial King who was stationed at the Yin Yang Sect's mountain gate. The three elders continued to lead the army to fight against the Great Qian Dynasty, trying to eliminate as many of the Great Qian Dynasty's forces as possible.
"There's still a quarter of an hour."
Gongsun Yun and the three ancestors looked more relaxed. They would soon be able to safely retreat.
Once the skyship started, ordinary mid-stage True Martial Realm experts would not be able to catch up with them. They could only watch them leave.
"Yue'er, you go up too."
Gongsun Yun said to Gongsun Yue behind him, his tone unquestionable.
Gongsun Yue nodded slightly but did not insist. Because everyone would soon leave together, Gongsun Yun would not stay behind either.
She flew towards the skyship, her purple dress fluttering, her purple hair dancing in the wind. Her graceful figure and natural charm immediately became the center of attention, attracting the gaze of all the disciples.
Qiu Shuilin snorted, and the disciples woke up from their infatuation with Gongsun Yue and continued with their tasks.
"There's still half an hour."
Gongsun Yun let out a sigh of relief and looked at the three ancestors, smiling, "Masters, let's go up too."
The three ancestors nodded. It was almost time, and they had prepared everything. Most of the disciples of Tianxuan Mountain had already boarded the skyship.
They flashed and appeared at the bow of the skyship, overlooking Tianxuan Mountain below, their expressions filled with mixed emotions.
"The foundation established by the Master, in the end, could not be preserved." The second-generation Patriarch's expression was filled with sorrow and pity.
"Master, there's no need to worry. The Tianxuan Mountain is just a mountain gate. At least everything else in Tianxuan Mountain is still intact. As long as we leave Daqian, with our strength, it will be easy to establish a new foothold and make a comeback in Dongshan." The fourth-generation Sect Leader had a smiling face, envisioning the future.
"Yes, we will be able to set off soon. We will break free from the constraints of the Daqian Empire and soar freely in the sky and swim in the vast sea." The third-generation Sect Leader followed suit.
Gongsun Yun's face was also filled with a smile. He was about to speak when suddenly his expression changed drastically. Not only him, but the expressions of the three Patriarchs also changed at that moment.
"Leave? I disagree. None of you from Tianxuan Mountain can leave today." A voice filled with killing intent pierced through the grand formation, echoing in Tianxuan Mountain, causing chaos among all the disciples of Tianxuan Mountain on the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship.
"Quick, leave!"
"Don't worry about anything, activate it immediately."
Gongsun Yun and the others shouted loudly, activating the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship. They saw a figure appearing in the distance, surrounded by a strong demonic aura, exuding an overwhelming power, step by step approaching Tianxuan Mountain.
That was definitely a Martial King in the True Martial Realm.
With each step he took, he came closer to Tianxuan Mountain, only a few steps away from the outside of Tianxuan Mountain. The overwhelming power pressed against Tianxuan Mountain, causing the protective formation to flicker, on the verge of shattering.
At this moment, the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship had just been activated, and various formations were being triggered, ready to escape into the void. But in the next instant, that figure slapped his palm, and the blood-colored palm shattered the protective formation of the mountain, crashing onto the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship.
Cracks appeared on the shield of the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship, although it did not shatter, its momentum to escape was interrupted.
"Not good."
Gongsun Yun and the other four Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters' expressions changed. They shouted loudly, bursting with their full power, each launching their attacks.
"I and the three Patriarchs will block his attacks. You quickly activate the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship."
Qiu Shuilin and the other elders of Tianxuan Mountain didn't have time to be surprised that Sect Leader Gongsun Yun was a Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster. They immediately poured their Vital Spirit and filled the spirit stones, providing energy to the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship, allowing the shield of the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship to recover and activate again, preparing to escape.
The powerful cultivator of the demonic path did not stop after his palm strike. He struck again with another palm, intending to leave the people of Tianxuan Mountain behind.
Gongsun Yun and the three Patriarchs continuously attacked, each wielding their own weapons, displaying one powerful martial technique after another, such as the Xuantian Fist, the Divine Slashing Sword Art, and the Tai Xuan Palm.
Boom!
However, it was not effective. The blood-colored demonic palm covered the sky, engulfing a large expanse of the heavens. The boundless demonic aura surged and overwhelmed their attacks. Even their weapons fell one by one, showing faint cracks.
"A mid-stage True Martial Realm expert from the demonic path!"
Gongsun Yun and the others were shocked. The attacker was undoubtedly a mid-stage True Martial Realm Yin-Yang Dao Martial King. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to easily shatter their attacks.
In their astonishment, Gongsun Yun and the other four Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters launched another attack, even using secret techniques to continuously increase their own aura, constantly unleashing powerful martial techniques, hoping to block this blood-colored demonic palm.
Boom!
Gongsun Yun and the other four Grandmasters all spat out blood, flying backward and creating a large pit in the Tianxuan Mountain range.
"Father!"
"Sect Leader!"
"Patriarch!"
On the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship, Gongsun Yue, Qiu Shuilin, and the other elders of Tianxuan Mountain exclaimed in shock and grief.
The power of the Blood-colored Demon Palm weakened significantly, continuing to bombard the Yunxiao Skyship and parts of the Tianxuan Mountain Range. The Tianxuan Mountain Range was directly shattered, collapsing over a large area, creating a huge crater.
The light curtain of the Yunxiao Skyship kept flickering, with dense cracks rapidly appearing, causing the people of the Tianxuan Mountain inside the skyship to be filled with fear.
They desperately activated the Yunxiao Skyship, exerting all their efforts to maintain the light curtain, afraid that if it shattered, most of the people from the Tianxuan Mountain inside the skyship would be wiped out.
Fortunately, they managed to hold on. When their True Qi and Vital Spirit were almost depleted, the power of the Blood-colored Demon Palm finally exhausted.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the Demon Path Sky above them raised its hand and struck again, with an extremely cold and indifferent expression, not caring about their life or death.
"No!"
"Yue'er!"
Gongsun Yun and the three ancestors saw this scene and were filled with rage, but they had just been seriously injured by a strike and their strength greatly diminished, making them unable to support the Yunxiao Skyship.
"Alas, why must you go to such lengths?"
At this moment, a voice filled with sorrow and compassion resounded in the heavens and earth, accompanied by a brilliant sword light that sealed the sky and extinguished everything, directly shattering the Blood-colored Demon Palm.
A hint of emotion finally appeared on the cold and indifferent face of Dugu Bing. He furrowed his brows slightly, looking somewhat surprised at the figure walking from afar.
The person was dressed in black, a refined middle-aged man with a divine sword on his back. The brilliant sword light from earlier was unleashed by this person.
Dugu Bing's eyes flashed with a touch of blood color as he tried to see through the true face of this person, but he found that his face was covered by a powerful soul force, making it impossible to see through.
"You coward who hides your head and shows your tail, reveal your name. I won't kill nameless people."
A demonic spear appeared in Dugu Bing's hand, blood-red all over, engraved with a series of mysterious patterns. The spear pointed at the refined middle-aged man from a distance.
"Friend, peace is the most important. It's not good to fight and kill."
The refined middle-aged man appeared in the sky above the Tianxuan Mountain, smiling at Dugu Bing, without revealing his name. He was Han Li.
Just now, he was soaking in the hot springs of Chengdao Peak when he sensed a loud rumbling sound coming from the direction of Leizhou. That was definitely the sound of a True Martial Realm Martial King making a move. Only the commotion of a True Martial Realm battle could spread so far.
Without hesitation, Han Li disappeared from Chengsheng Mountain and, just as he arrived at the edge of Jizhou and Qingzhou, he saw this demonic powerhouse heavily injuring Gongsun Yun and the other three, suppressing the Yunxiao Skyship.
He immediately entered the realm of divine perception, causing his speed to skyrocket. In a very short time, he crossed millions of miles and immediately unleashed a sword strike, shattering the Blood-colored Demon Palm and saving the people of the Tianxuan Mountain.
"Since you seek death, I'll send you on your way."
Seeing the refined middle-aged man being evasive, Dugu Bing shouted loudly and thrust his blood-colored spear forward.
The blood-colored spear radiated a few thousand zhang of blood-colored brilliance, mixed with the intent of the spear, forming a blood dragon that roared and shook the heavens, attacking Han Li.
Han Li sighed, and the Zhenjun Sword behind him flew out, slashing towards the blood dragon. The sword light was brilliant, forming a storm of sword intent that swept across the heavens and earth, suppressing everything.
Boom!
The storm of sword intent tore through the blood dragon and continued to attack Dugu Bing. Dugu Bing raised his hand and extinguished it with a palm.
"You have some skills, but if you think you can stop me from killing, you still have a long way to go." Dugu Bing said indifferently.
Han Li raised an eyebrow. This Martial King of the Yin Yang Path was quite good at pretending, with an air of superiority, looking down on everything.
But as Han Li looked around, he discovered that this person was only at the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm, just the fourth level of the True Martial Realm. Although he was also a Martial King in the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm, his strength was still far inferior to his own.
He has been holding back, hoping to give face to the Martial King of the Yin Yang Sect and spare Tianxuan Mountain.
Han Li doesn't want to kill him here, otherwise things will escalate. If a Martial King in the mid-stage of True Martial Realm dies, the Demon Sect will definitely investigate to the end.
Even if he can escape without being discovered, Tianxuan Mountain won't be able to. It will definitely be destroyed by the Demon Sect, rendering his actions today meaningless.
Below, the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship is parked on the broken Tianxuan Mountain Range. The people on the ship are watching this scene in fear, unsure if the elegant middle-aged man will continue to take action.
If this Martial King in the True Martial Realm retreats, they will undoubtedly die today.
"Who is he? Why did he come to save us?"
Qiu Shuilin, Gong Sunyun, and others, in addition to their surprise, suddenly thought of this question. Tianxuan Mountain doesn't have a Martial King in the True Martial Realm. The strongest are the three ancestral masters who have returned.
Could this person be the founder of Tianxuan Mountain?
In the large pit, Gong Sunyun and the three ancestral masters are also speculating about the identity of the elegant middle-aged man. They know that this person is definitely not the founder of the sect; the first generation ancestor died long ago.
But this person has no connection with them. Why did he intervene? Is it because he saw injustice? Or is it to eliminate demons and uphold justice?
"I intended to spare your life, but why have you been provoking me?"
Before the words even fell, Han Li had already taken action. He gripped the Zhenjun Sword in his right hand and unleashed the powerful sword technique recorded in the Sealing Heaven Sword Canon.
Above the nine heavens, a river of sword intent surged down, with waves of sword intent and dazzling sword light shining for millions of miles, carrying the terrifying power to seal all laws, and slashing towards Dugu Bing.
Seal the heavens! Seal the gods! Seal the demons! Seal the Buddhas! Seal the immortals!
Dugu Bing's pupils contracted. He felt a great threat and didn't have time to talk nonsense. He immediately displayed the Blood Demon Art, causing his blood to burn madly, but also causing his own aura to skyrocket.
The blood-colored demonic spear in his hand spun, and blood-colored wheels appeared one after another, growing larger and more numerous, colliding with the river of sword intent.
Boom!
The river of sword intent surged and countless sword lights bloomed, shattering all the blood-colored wheels, heavily impacting Dugu Bing.
Dugu Bing spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying by the river of sword intent, crashing heavily into the Tianxuan Mountain Range, causing large areas of mountain peaks to shatter.
Buzz!
Two brilliant sword lights appeared again, slashing towards the heavily injured Dugu Bing. He forcefully endured his injuries, activated the Indestructible Blood Body, and then swung his blood-colored spear, trying to block the two swords.
Puff puff~
The demonic spear was knocked away, Dugu Bing's left arm was severed, and a transparent wound appeared in his abdomen. The sword intent from the Sealing Heaven Sword was rampaging inside him, crazily sealing his true essence.
Seeing that the person had unleashed two more swords, Dugu Bing didn't dare to resist head-on anymore. He directly used the Blood Demon Escape Art and instantly escaped millions of miles away, fleeing without a trace.
After using the Blood Demon Art twice in a row and entering deeper into the Yin Yang Sect's territory, Dugu Bing finally stopped.
He looked back and found that the elegant middle-aged man hadn't pursued him at all. He felt extremely frustrated. This time, he had suffered a big loss.
Not only did he fail to seize Tianxuan Mountain and snatch the Yunxiao Heavenly Ship, but he also suffered heavy injuries, lost an arm, and especially after using the Blood Demon Art twice.
Although the Blood Demon Art is a divine technique for escaping, it has serious side effects. Using it twice in a row caused his cultivation to regress to the third level of the True Martial Realm.
"If I had known, I would have given him face and not said so much nonsense." Dugu Bing regretted deeply, took one last look, and returned to the Yin Yang Sect's mountain gate without turning back.
