Chapter 687 Locking the air
"act recklessly!"
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, and the pressure of his Nascent Soul stage power poured down like a mountain collapsing. The floor of the hall trembled violently, and black mist, carrying earth-shattering demonic power, rushed towards Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an gripped the Taixu Sword tightly, his icy and clear sword intent flowing around him, forcefully withstanding the Demon Emperor's oppressive aura.
He raised his sword and brought it down. The Taixu Sword shone with a fierce light, but the blade itself was faintly visible, as if it might merge into the air at any moment.
The hall instantly turned bitterly cold, and snowflakes flew everywhere, each one carrying a deadly attack!
The Phoenix Clan Chief and the Bifang Clan Chief both looked horrified.
I heard that True Lord Chonghua was born with a sword bone, and indeed his swordsmanship is divine!
The Demon Emperor sneered, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to show off his skills in front of me!"
The dark black demonic power condensed into a giant claw, slamming towards Xie Chang'an with the force to tear apart heaven and earth!
Before the giant claw could even touch the hem of his clothes, it was struck by the sword energy. However, the demonic power was so strong that the sword energy dissipated instantly upon impact with the giant claw.
Xie Chang'an flashed by, his figure as swift as a startled swan, avoiding the Demon Emperor's follow-up attacks.
At the same time, he flipped his wrist, and the Taixu Sword pierced into the void. The next second, a bright sword light shot out from the void rift behind the Demon Emperor, piercing straight into the Demon Emperor's heart!
This is the void power of the Taixu Sword, which can use the void to launch surprise attacks, appearing and disappearing unpredictably and making it impossible to defend against!
Once he advances to the Nascent Soul stage and achieves mastery of swordsmanship, this sword strike could even send his opponent into the void!
The Demon Emperor was startled by the chill behind him and hastily activated his demonic power to protect himself. With a "bang," the sword light collided with the demonic power barrier. Although it did not break through the defense, it still caused the Demon Emperor to freeze for a moment and his blood to surge.
"Void power? That's somewhat impressive! But that's all for now!"
The Demon Emperor's lips curled slightly, and he suddenly retreated.
Xie Chang'an narrowed his eyes, becoming wary.
Strange runes suddenly lit up around the main hall, and golden light intertwined to form a huge net that enveloped the entire hall!
Xie Chang'an's heart sank. He could feel that this formation was radiating a powerful binding force.
This is a void-locking formation specifically designed to counter the Taixu Sword!
He made a quick decision and shouted, "Tai Xu, retreat!"
The Taixu Sword flashed, about to pierce the void, but with a "clang", it was bounced back by the formation!
Taixu was shocked: "We can't get through!"
The formation forcibly confined this space, preventing him from traversing the void!
"Hahaha, Nephew Chonghua, no need to waste your energy!"
A woman in white appeared out of thin air, her expression icy, but her eyes burning with fury.
"Uncle-Master Ling Shuang?"
Xie Chang'an's brows furrowed, his eyes turning cold. "You actually aided and abetted evil!"
Ling Shuang Zhenjun smiled slightly: "Since you call me 'Shishu' (a term of respect for a senior martial brother), I will ask His Majesty the Demon Emperor for a favor."
"If you voluntarily sever your bond with that little bitch and swear an oath of loyalty to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, I might spare your life!"
The Demon Emperor cackled, "Very well, I will do you this favor, True Monarch!"
Xie Chang'an sneered: "Uncle Ling Shuang, you have willingly fallen into depravity and colluded with the Demon Emperor. Do you think that everyone in the world is as despicable as you?"
"Disciples of the Sword Sect are of unyielding integrity, preferring to die a glorious death rather than live a shameful life! You are unworthy to be a disciple of the Sword Sect!"
"Oh, I almost forgot, the sect leader has already announced to the three realms that you and your disciple have been expelled from the sect!"
Xie Chang'an's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Ling Shuang Zhenjun, enraged, declared: "This Myriad Laws Locking the Void Formation was specially set up for you. Today, you will have no way to escape!"
Xie Chang'an stood with his sword drawn, a cold smile on his face: "We'll see."
Ling Shuang Zhenjun laughed in anger: "Fine, I'd like to see what progress you've made since you reached the Nascent Soul stage."
She raised her hand and drew her sword. The sword light was like cold moonlight and flowing frost, light and agile yet chilling. Every move carried a murderous intent that could freeze everything. Wherever she passed, the air froze, and even the light seemed to be frozen.
Xie Chang'an remained calm, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. With one hand forming a hand seal, his sword intent surged suddenly, and the icy blue spiritual energy converged with the sword intent in the air, instantly transforming into an ice dragon!
The ice dragon raised its head and roared, its cry echoing through the heavens.
With a flick of its dragon head, its giant claws slammed down!
In the blink of an eye, Ling Shuang Zhenjun's sword technique that had frozen thousands of miles was torn apart and completely crushed by the ice dragon!
She stumbled back a few steps, her chest heaving with fear.
Chonghua was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet he was not weak at all against her mid-stage Nascent Soul swordsmanship, and even slightly outmatched her!
The Demon Emperor, unwilling to prolong the conflict, shouted, "Let's finish this quickly!"
Black mist surged around him, and countless demonic blades shot out from the mist, densely packed, blocking all of Xie Chang'an's escape routes.
A cold glint flashed in Ling Shuang Zhenjun's eyes, and his sword light suddenly appeared, transforming into thousands of sword rains that slammed down on Xie Chang'an!
Where the rain of swords passed, the air was frozen and distorted, each icy blade concealing a deadly intent!
Even though Xie Chang'an was born with a sword bone and his swordsmanship had reached a state of perfection, his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even if he could kill someone of a higher level, he could not withstand the combined attack of a Nascent Soul Great Demon and a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
In an instant, they were at a disadvantage, barely able to defend themselves, with no chance to retaliate.
Seeing his critical situation, the Phoenix Clan Chief let out a clear cry, and his body burst forth with spiritual light, revealing his true form.
Amidst the raging flames, a golden-red phoenix with a wingspan of a thousand feet soared into the sky. Its phoenix fire condensed into a raging inferno, carrying the power to incinerate all things, and collided violently with the demon emperor's giant claw.
The Demon Emperor roared in fury: "Do you intend to rebel?"
The Phoenix Clan Chief solemnly said, "True Lord Chonghua is the beloved disciple of Sword Master Ziyang. If Your Majesty injures him, it will trigger a war with the Sword Sect, which would be extremely disastrous! Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
The Demon Emperor sneered, "Kill me if you want, what can that old bastard Ziyang do to me?"
He roared, and the black energy around him suddenly surged, instantly transforming into the original form of the Teng Snake.
The enormous snake tail, carrying a world-destroying force, swept fiercely towards Xie Chang'an and the Phoenix Clan Chief!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Chang'an immediately summoned the sword talisman of the Purple Sun Sword Master, which sealed a sword aura of the Purple Sun Sword Master.
A dazzling purple sword light suddenly exploded in the air, like lightning, making it almost impossible for everyone present to open their eyes.
With a deafening roar, the sword light collided violently with the snake's tail. The immense impact caused the entire hall to shatter into pieces and collapse instantly!
At this moment, Xie Chang'an heard Jiang Li's anxious voice transmission, "Brother Chang'an, quick, release Kongkong!"
Xie Chang'an hesitated: "True Monarch Ling Shuang has set up a Void-Locking Array, which has the effect of imprisoning space. Even the Great Void cannot break through it. Can it work in the Void?"
Kongkong is still young, and if he were to be trapped in this Void-Locking Formation, things would be terrible.
In fact, he intended to use Kongkong as a trump card, waiting for the Demon Emperor and Ling Shuang Zhenjun to think that he had no power to fight back and lower their guard, so that Kongkong could take him and Jiang Li and escape quickly!
Jiang Li said, "That Void-Locking Array must have a spatial spiritual object as a guide, and spatial spiritual objects are precisely the food for the Void!"
