"If I kill you, no one will know."
With a slight lift of his head, Qu Lishang spoke calmly and confidently.
This sentence made Cyan Robe Demon Venerable’s heart tremble fiercely, and without any hesitation, he transford into a streak of cyan light, attempting to flee the Secret Realm instantly.
The glee he felt when escaping Night Spirit Demon Venerable and Monk Benyin was now replaced with sheer terror.
Compared to Monk Benyin, Qu Lishang was the true god of slaughter. Previously overwheld by the allure of the Great Nether Mirror, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable now awakened to the realization that once Qu Lishang recovered, even without the Great Nether Mirror, he was the most formidable being.
But now that he wished to escape, it was already too late.
With a slight beckon of a single hand, the Li Shang Sword flew into Qu Lishang’s palm in an instant. Taking a step forward, the brilliant sword aura seed to ignore the spatial constraints, falling directly upon Cyan Robe Demon Venerable.
Boom!
With a single sword stroke, the streak of cyan light was abruptly severed, forcibly revealing Cyan Robe Demon Venerable from the void, with a striking blood-red hue erging on his cyan attire.
"Seal!"
With the utterance of a single command, countless Sword Qi erupted instantly, forming a prison that trapped Cyan Robe Demon Venerable within.
Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart!
The Sword Qi blood on Cyan Robe Demon Venerable’s body like blossoming lotuses, repeatedly piercing through his body.
Almost instinctively, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable activated the Path Domain, transforming himself into a long, green river to shield against the relentless sword light. However, no matter how he charged left and right, he couldn’t break free from the Sword Qi’s confinent and escape!
Using Sword Intent as a cage, Qu Lishang hadn’t even unleashed his Path Domain; yet this sword alone naturally ford the Sword Domain!
This kind of technique was considered top-tier even amongst Saint Realm powerhouses.
Not far away, Huang Siyu and the others watched, their scalps tingling with apprehension.
Although they had long known of Li Shang Sword Venerable’s prowess, it was only upon witnessing his action up close that they truly felt that unmatched strength!
At that mont, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit of fear.
If it hadn’t been for Wang Junze desperately holding them back, allowing them to attack the Sword Cocoon and potentially awakening Qu Lishang, no one might have survived now.
Though they asked Wang Junze to buy them an hour, by this point it was clear to everyone that Qu Lishang never truly entrusted his life to Wang Junze. Consuming the Creation Golden Lotus had already freed Qu Lishang from danger; he rely wished to take the opportunity to completely refine the Great Nether Mirror!
If attacked and the refining of the Great Nether Mirror was interrupted, Qu Lishang would instantly transform into the terrifying Li Shang Sword Venerable.
Of course, if they had acted prematurely, and Qu Lishang hadn’t enough ti to absorb the Creation Golden Lotus’s power, he might not have returned to his peak state. Yet even with three to five parts of his cultivation restored, he could easily kill Yang Hong, Huang Siyu, and the rest.
In a way, Wang Junze’s desperate blockade might have actually saved them.
"Qu Lishang, don’t push ! Your injuries haven’t healed completely; to kill ... you would pay the price!"
A hint of madness flashed in his eyes, as Cyan Robe Demon Venerable’s aura surged, shouting sharply.
So things others couldn’t see, but as a Saint Realm powerhouse, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable could sense clearly during the confrontation.
Though Qu Lishang was still formidable, he wasn’t as terrifying as the stories portrayed!
If he were at his peak, he couldn’t sustain such a state for long.
"To kill you, it’s enough!"
Expression unchanged, Qu Lishang replied indifferently.
Of course, he hadn’t fully recovered. All these years, most of his efforts were focused on refining the Great Nether Mirror, disrupted by Cyan Robe Demon Venerable, leading to a backlash from severing the connection.
Moreover, even the Li Shang Sword had severed its connection with him due to Peng Ru’s Blood Refining Divine Weapon.
Now, acquiring the Li Shang Sword was because Peng Ru had been killed!
However, because of the Li Shang Sword, Peng Ru seed dead, yet a thread of Divine Soul remained within it. Unless the Li Shang Sword was destroyed, or he forcibly erased the Divine Soul within, Peng Ru wouldn’t completely perish.
But if he were to erase the Divine Soul in the Divine Sword, he also hesitated.
After all, Peng Ru was Wang Junze’s person, and indeed, he owed Wang Junze a significant favor.
Plus, Peng Ru’s gesture of accepting Wang Junze as her master made him admire the girl.
Thus, he hadn’t fully exerted the power of the Li Shang Sword, making it much harder to kill Cyan Robe Demon Venerable.
"Explode for !"
Seeing Qu Lishang not intending to relent, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable beca completely ruthless, his body exploding with cyan light in an instant, forcibly breaking through the Sword Qi cage!
Slaying Dao!
In the life-and-death crisis, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable unequivocally chose Slaying Dao!
No matter how heavy the price, it was better than certain death.
In a fleeting mont, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable’s aura surged several tis over!
For a Saint Realm powerhouse, Slaying Dao was tantamount to severing the Great Path, yet the unleashed power was far more terrifying than burning the Divine Soul or Essence Blood.
Back in the day, Zhou Dongfei forced Xin Piaoxue back at the cost of Slaying Dao!
Now Cyan Robe Demon Venerable played the sa bet!
He was gambling that Qu Lishang wouldn’t be willing to pay too high a price to fight to mutual destruction, seizing a chance to escape, with no intent to kill Qu Lishang—simply out of consideration.
Normally, fought to this extent with injuries unresolved, Qu Lishang indeed seed to be the one to retreat.
Yet Cyan Robe Demon Venerable underestimated Qu Lishang’s determination to kill him.
"I told you... to kill you, it’s enough!"
With a slight arch of his eyebrow, Qu Lishang responded calmly once more.
At the sa ti, taking a step forward, Qu Lishang suddenly transford into a Profound Moon, advancing directly, ignoring the erupting cyan light and wielding his sword!
Sword like Lotus!
A moon-white sword aura, blooming like the lotus of the night sky, blazed fiercely within the cyan light!
No one could describe the brilliance of this sword, as if it unfurled the most beautiful painting, slowly coming into view.
Countless cyan lights exploded around Qu Lishang as a terrifying tempest, yet even the most horrifying impact couldn’t shake that moon lotus.
Crack!
Within a few fleeting breaths, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable’s form erged from the cyan light, being engulfed by sword light, shattering into a green rain of blood, raining down the entire Secret Realm.
