"Li Shang Sword Venerable!"
"Master Qu!"
In the next mont, Dugu Feng and the others also stepped into the Secret Realm. Upon seeing Li Shang Sword Venerable, Jiao Yang and Ji Liuyun exclaid simultaneously, though their emotions were vastly different.
Jiao Yang was excited, while Ji Liuyun felt pain and despair.
To all the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Qu Lishang was undoubtedly their most revered figure, a living legend.
Yet now, Dugu Feng was here to kill Qu Lishang; she witnessed everything firsthand but was utterly powerless to stop it.
"Peng Ru, see that moonlight on his body? Use all your strength, slash through that moonlight, and your task will be complete!"
Even Dugu Feng couldn’t suppress a hint of excitent in her eyes at this mont.
She had also been planning for this day for a long ti.
Three tis she entered the Inverted Mountain; this was not her first visit, but it was the first ti she felt success was so close.
"Ru’er!"
Though she had long decided not to ask Peng Ru to sacrifice herself, at this mont, Ji Liuyun couldn’t help but speak, with a pained and pleading look in her eyes.
If it were herself, of course, she’d rather die than harm Li Shang Sword Venerable even slightly. But... how could she ask this disciple to die!
Biting her lip hard, Peng Ru looked at Ji Liuyun silently for a long ti before turning her gaze to Wang Junze.
Unexpectedly, this ti Dugu Feng did not urge but rely watched Peng Ru and Wang Junze lightly.
"Do it; I also want to see just how strong this world-renowned Li Shang Sword Venerable is!"
eting Peng Ru’s gaze, Wang Junze shrugged his shoulders and casually ordered, "I assure you, as long as you follow the orders, I will ensure you and your master leave safely."
"Yes!"
Listening to Wang Junze’s words, Peng Ru finally made up her mind. Within breaths, True Qi frantically injected into the Divine Sword in her hand. She took a step forward, determination flashing in her eyes, fiercely slashing at the Sword Qi in front of Li Shang Sword Venerable.
*Clang!*
The sound of a sword, terrifying Sword Qi roared out. Along with Peng Ru’s sword, it instantly cut into the criss-crossed Sword Qi around.
This sword unleashed Peng Ru’s full power, its might nearly equivalent to a full strike from a Void Realm powerhouse.
Of course, this amount of power ant nothing to the mighty Sword Qi surrounding Li Shang Sword Venerable. However, this Sword Qi originated from Li Shang Sword Venerable’s own Divine Weapon, which to so extent was Li Shang Sword Venerable’s Sword Intent, so naturally, it wouldn’t trigger the surrounding Sword Qi’s counterattack.
*Boom!*
Without any obstruction, Peng Ru’s sword smoothly reached Li Shang Sword Venerable’s front, and the mont the Sword Qi touched the moonlight, it shattered suddenly!
Instantly, the Sword Intent seal in front of Li Shang Sword Venerable fractured swiftly.
Of course, it’s more accurate to say Peng Ru’s sword didn’t shatter the seal but instead triggered it, causing the seal to dissipate by itself.
And almost at the instant the seal dissipated, Dugu Feng stepped forward, the Godslaying Spear in her hand suddenly surged with overwhelming blood-red light, fiercely stabbing toward Li Shang Sword Venerable’s position.
No matter how much preparation had been made beforehand, when truly facing Li Shang Sword Venerable, Dugu Feng remained as cautious as possible, attacking with full force, not intending to give Li Shang Sword Venerable any chance to react.
The spear was too fast; it seed to rip through the void in an instant. Before others had ti to respond, the spear had already reached Li Shang Sword Venerable’s front.
However, at the mont the spear reached Li Shang Sword Venerable, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Without any apparent move, just a re glance, a terrifying Sword Intent seed to appear out of nowhere, slashing onto the spear tip, blocking it forcibly; no matter how Dugu Feng urged, the spear tip refused to advance even an inch.
"Scram!"
With a single word, it seed to transform into thunderous Sword Sound, striking heavily on Dugu Feng’s body, shattering the blood-red light around her; even as strong as Dugu Feng was, she was directly blown away!
At the sa ti, Li Shang Sword Venerable lightly flicked his fingers, causing the Divine Sword in Peng Ru’s hand to emit a slight tremor, as if it were about to soar away.
However, in the next mont, a blood-red sheen erged from the sword blade, forcibly severing the link between Li Shang Sword Venerable and the Divine Sword.
"Hmm?"
Instantly, Li Shang Sword Venerable sensed sothing unusual, with a terrifying killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Blood Refining Technique?"
"Hahaha, Qu Lishang, how unexpected it must be to see your disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect betray you, using Blood Refining Technique to refine your Divine Sword, severing your connection to it as a Lifebound Divine Weapon!"
Though repelled by a single word of thunderous Sword Sound from Li Shang Sword Venerable, Dugu Feng showed no fear, but instead laughed out loud.
Qu Lishang was truly formidable; even now just awakened from breaking the seal, still severely injured, his strength was nowhere near fully exerted, yet he remained an intimidating Saint Realm powerhouse. Had it not been for severing the link to his Divine Weapon, relying on Divine Thought alone, Qu Lishang could have directed the Divine Weapon to effortlessly slay Dugu Feng.
Unfortunately, Dugu Feng had calculated everything precisely in advance, making Peng Ru use the Blood Refining Technique to transform the Divine Weapon into a Lifebound Divine Weapon. Now, even Qu Lishang couldn’t easily recapture his Divine Weapon.
"Are you a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"
Looking at Peng Ru, Qu Lishang glanced once briefly, then sighed softly, "Too weak, with Refining Spirit cultivation... not even a True Inheritor; how could you reach here?"
"..."
After that sword strike, Peng Ru was already drained of power. Pale-faced, biting her lip tight, she faced Qu Lishang without uttering a phrase.
"Godslaying Spear, are you from the Judgnt Departnt?"
Without giving Peng Ru further attention, Qu Lishang turned to Dugu Feng, asking, "No, that’s not right! The Director of the Judgnt Departnt is an old acquaintance of mine; if he wanted dead, he wouldn’t need such underhanded tactics... are you a traitor of the Judgnt Departnt?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Junze’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Clearly, he had been sleeping here for decades, yet simply from a few words and a Godslaying Spear, he could deduce the truth; this Li Shang Sword Venerable was not only suprely powerful but extrely astute, truly worthy of his legendary reputation.
"Indeed, I rebelled against the Judgnt Departnt!"
Facing Qu Lishang, Dugu Feng did not deny, replying calmly, "Qu Lishang, I bear you no grievances. Just hand over the Great Nether Mirror, and I’ll leave imdiately, no longer giving you any trouble!"
