Winds stirred in the city, and waves of ominous dark purple lightning bolts flashed among the clouds, staining the brows of the demonic cultivators inwith a shade of darkness.
"Hehe——"
Accompanied by a ghostly bell-like laughter, a blood-colored curved arc swept across the chests of severalSect disciples, cutting them cleanly in half.
Following that, a rain of blood poured down and landed on the heads of several demonic cultivators below.
They raised their hands in confusion and wanted to wipe them. Seeing that their hands were stained with blood, they unconsciously looked up again, but the next moment, a black shadow rushed toward them. In an instant, it split those people in half from the top of their heads like cutting vegetables.
The blood-colored sword swung around her body, and Gu Mingxin did not stop for a moment. After cutting off a demonic cultivator, she quickly went to the next. The disciples below thestage could not block her even for a moment.
If someone reacted and used ghost spirits to protect themselves, they would be swallowed by the thousand-foot giant python.
If a Sword cultivator blocked with the sword, they would be cut off by Gu Mingxin along with the sword in their hand.
The disciples of theSect near the prison did not even have the opportunity to mourn the death of their fellow cultivators. They followed in their footsteps and died together at the hands of Gu Mingxin and the black python.
The streets were broken, and the buildings collapsed.
Smoke and dust rose, and blood was flying everywhere.
"Twenty-seven!!"
"Twenty-eight!!"
Gu Mingxin happily counted the number ofSect disciples she had chopped with her sword, her expression ferocious. While rushing to the next person, she looked in the direction of the Platform and asked, "Did you see it?! I have killed... twenty..."
"Nine!! Demonic cultivators who want to be your enemy, haha!"
Just as Gu Mingxin was tirelessly expressing her "love" to Ye Anping, Xue'e, who was lying on top of her head to survey the surroundings, suddenly felt a threat. She turned her head to look to the side and then warned.
Gu Mingxin's red eyes flashed as she glanced to the side, then stretched out the left hand that Ye Anping had returned to her before, clamped the neck of the-stage disciple facing her, turned around, and used the disciple as a shield in front of her.
The next moment——
A blood light with a strong demonic energy rushed straight to Gu Mingxin's face. TheSect disciple she used as a shield instantly turned into meat paste and exploded after being touched by the blood light.
Gu Mingxin reacted very quickly. Although she couldn't see the face of the person wrapped in the blood-colored demonic spirit, she could feel that it was most likely Kong Xiangmo, so she immediately raised the spirit sword in her right hand horizontally and placed it in front of her chest.
A wrinkled palm fell directly on the blade of her blood-colored spirit sword, and the shock was transmitted to the hilt, entering her body through her right hand.
Then, a strong bloody energy that turned soil and rocks into sand, burst out.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xue'e shouted.
The black python, who was enjoying the extra meal not far away, suddenly twisted its body, opened its mouth with four fangs, and rushed toward Gu Mingxin.
Kong Xiangmo put his hand on Gu Mingxin's sword. His bloodshot yellow eyes glanced at the black python, and he snorted disdainfully. "Heh!"
He moved his left hand, and an ice cone that looked like it was made of blood suddenly appeared in his palm.
The scarlet icicle turned into a blood streak and smashed straight into the black scales on the python's abdomen. Although it did not penetrate the scales, it directly knocked the python's body weighing hundreds of tons backward.
Several streets along with theSect disciples who had not had time to escape, were directly crushed under the fallen black python.
Smoke and dust rose to the sky.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Mingxin felt a little frustrated. She knew that if she faced Kong Xiangmo, she would die. After all, he was the Great Elder of theSect who was in the late stage of the...
"Tsk..."
Two blood-colored sword lights slashed in front of Kong Xiangmo. Although she used all her strength, it was actually a feint. After Gu Mingxin swung out the two blood lights, she immediately sent her spiritual power to her feet, leaped into the next room, and rushed out from the other side, fleeing straight toward the black python.
While holding on tightly to Gu Mingxin's hair, Xue'e immediately shouted.
Hiss—
The black python spat out its tongue and rolled up several corpses ofdemonic cultivators into its mouth, using their spiritual energy to restore itself. Then, it slithered over and wrapped around Gu Mingxin who rushed over, coiling itself into a giant mound with a height of one hundred feet.
After being wrapped inside the black python, Gu Mingxin stumbled and fell to the ground. She quickly took out a few pills from her storage bag and threw them into her mouth, then sat cross-legged and began to condense her energy to recover.
Although Kong Xiangmo's palm did not touch her body just now, she still felt that his ghostly energy had already flowed into her body.
If the ghostly energy of a Ghost cultivator in the late stage ofentered the body of an ordinary cultivator, it would be enough to make one explode into minced meat like the disciple that she had used as a shield before.
Although Gu Mingxin had a demonic forged body and would not explode on the spot, it was definitely not something she could bear with just gritting her teeth.
Xue'e calmly reminded her how to resist ghostly energy.
The next moment.
The earth and the sky trembled, and the giant python shrank slightly and let out a painful hiss.
Gu Mingxin raised her hand slightly and touched the scales beside her to comfort it, then closed her eyes quietly, emptied her mind, stopped listening to the movements outside the snake's body, and began to meditate.
Kong Xiangmo had already arrived in the sky at this moment, staring at the black python with bloodshot eyes. He waved his hand, and several blood lights shot toward it.
Every time a blood light fell on the snake's body, it would leave a bloody wound, but these wounds would heal in just two breaths and grow scales again.
After Kong Xiangmo bombarded them with ghost spells for a while, he waved his hand to collect the spiritual energy. He put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down a little.
His son was dead, which made him extremely angry.
But Gu Mingxin was like a turtle in a jar at this moment, and he didn't need to do anything himself. Although the python had a hard body, there were four cultivators in thestage and dozens ofElders in.
No matter how capable Gu Mingxin was, she could never escape.
At this time, the other three Elders in thestage arrived. The three of them glanced at the tightly wrapped black python below, saw Kong Xiangmo there, and flashed over.
"Great Elder Kong."
Kong Xiangmo glanced at the three people, then looked down, and used his spiritual power to spread his voice. "Gu Mingxin, where is Liang Liu?"
"..."
"I'll give you a chance. Hand over Liang Liu, and I'll spare your life."
Kong Xiangmo suppressed his emotions, but when he said this, he remembered the death of his son just now, and suddenly couldn't help shouting. "Gu Mingxin!!! Where is Liang Liu?!!"
"..."
"I'll count to three!!!" Kong Xiangmo narrowed his eyes as he flicked his bloodstained sleeves. "One!!!"
Seeing his gesture, Luo Yi and the other two Elders, all released their spiritual energy.
The blue clouds hovering over the city were instantly dyed red by a strong bloody aura, and the lightning spread like a snake dance. Dozens of red lightnings fell, surrounding the black python like a fence.
Kong Xiangmo narrowed his eyes slightly. "Two!!!"
The voice passed through the snake's body and reached Gu Mingxin, who was sitting cross-legged and concentrating her energy.
She slowly opened her eyes, and even though she could feel the spiritual power of the fourcultivators pressing on her back like a thousand pounds, her expression was as calm as ever.
On the other hand, Xue'e clenched her teeth and looked nervous.
The python was an ancient spiritual beast, a blood demon, and like Feng Yu Die's golden dragon, it was also inherited from the bloodline of a powerful cultivator who once reached thestage.
And after Gu Mingxin formed her, the python's size and spiritual power increased several times.
Even so, one cultivator in thestage would be easy to deal with.
At worst, they could just peel off Ah Mang's snake skin. The python was immortal anyway, and it would recover in ten days or half a month. But four cultivators in thestage attacking together, that was no joke.
What if the python failed to hold on and fell directly on Mingxin? Not even a strand of her hair would be left.
Xue'e bit her lips tightly and simply lay on Gu Mingxin's head and held her tightly.
Now, she could only hope that Ye Anping had a way to solve the situation.
—"Three!"
Kong Xiangmo's voice came from outside the python's body, and Xue'e immediately closed her eyes and held Gu Mingxin's hair tightly with her little hands.
Seeing that Gu Mingxin still did not react, Kong Xiangmo twitched his mouth slightly and waved his hand to give an order.
With a flick of their sleeves, Luo Yi and the other twoElders decisively raised their hands to form a seal.
The dozens of red lightning pillars entwined around the black python's body, all rushed toward it.
However...
Almost at the same time.
A dragon roar resounded through the sky.
A golden light rose from thein, followed by the second, the third...
The energy filled with immortal spirits swept across the city like the waves of an ocean. The red lightning pillars condensed by Kong Xiangmo and the others with spiritual energy collapsed into dots of spiritual light and dissipated just when they were about to touch the black python.
Kong Xiangmo looked at the more than seventy golden lights rising from various places in the city, and his eyes, which were originally extremely angry, gradually showed a touch of fear.
The locations where those golden lights appeared were all the formation knots of the.
In other words, someone took the opportunity to use some method to break the main formation knot and also most of the secondary knots in one fell swoop.
Kong Xiangmo looked down at the black python and realized that he had made a big mistake.
When he found Kong Huayuan's body, he should not have rushed over when he saw the black python. Instead, he should have gone to find the "Liang Liu" who pretended to be his son.
Gu Mingxin was just the bait, and "Liang Liu" was the one holding the fishing rod.
From beginning to end, "Liang Liu" never showed up.
From beginning to end, "Liang Liu" led him by the nose.
But now, even if he suddenly realized it, it was too late.
Thethat the Ghost Patriarch personally set up inwith countless demonic treasures and ghost spirits was broken just like that.
And the mistake he made was not just as simple as breaking the formation.
That "Liang Liu" broke thewith the identity of Kong Huayuan!
In other words, it didn't matter who broke the formation.
Once this matter reached the ears of the Ghost Patriarch, it would turn into "Kong Huayuan betrayed theSect, secretly colluding with the immortal cultivators to break the".
Once this blame was laid on him, he would have no way to defend himself.
Luo Yi and the other twoSect Elders who were present now would most likely not testify for him.
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it.
It was just because of his negligence that his ignorant son did something stupid.
He was finished.
The Kong family was also finished.
Kong Xiangmo's face suddenly turned pale, and the aura of a late-stagecultivator around him disappeared in an instant. Now, he looked like a lonely old man flying in the air, extremely haggard.
The wrinkled old hand slowly rose, and Kong Xiangmo grabbed his beard.
"Uh ah ah ah——!!"
The roar was like thunder, with countless red lightning flashing and crashing all over the city.
CountlessSect disciples were accidentally injured by the bloody lightning and exploded into pieces of meat when they were touched. Screams and wails were heard everywhere.
Seeing this, Luo Yi and the other two beside Kong Xiangmo hurried to protect their bodies but were still hit by these blood lightning bolts and had to dodge.
"Elder Kong, there are still disciples in the city... Please restrain yourself..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Kong Xiangmo's eyes widened with anger. He turned into a blood light and rushed straight toward the.
The remaining three Elders didn't understand what happened. When they turned their eyes back to the black python below, they saw that the black python originally coiled there had disappeared, leaving only a large piece of shed snake skin…
… …
Ye Anping, wearing the uniform of theSect, sat cross-legged in the center of the. The jade seal with nine dragons carved on it was supported by his spiritual power and floated up and down in front of his chest.
Feng Yu Die, with her mask on, shook off the blood on her sword and glanced around. After confirming that there were no survivors, she quickly retreated to Ye Anping's side.
"Young Master Ye, it's done…"
"Alright."
Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes, holding thein his palm. He was ready to gather the golden spiritual energy rising from all over the city and give the disciples of theSect a smallshock.
But at this time, the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed.
The commotion caused by Gu Mingxin stopped abruptly.
Xiao Tian, who was lying on Feng Yu Die's head, seemed to feel something. Suddenly widening her eyes, she shouted.
After her warning, golden spiritual energy emerged from Feng Yu Die's chest and condensed into a golden dragon, protecting Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die in its belly.
And in the next moment, a thick demonic energy that was like a vast ocean pressed down on the entire.
TheSect disciples that Feng Yu Die had killed before turned into blood mud and exploded in an instant. Although the golden dragon withstood the pressure from above, it could not help but let out a series of low groans.
Dragon:
After hearing Old Dragon's message, Xiao Tian quickly relayed it to Ye Anping, saying,
"Hoo--!!"
Before she finished speaking, Kong Xiangmo suddenly slammed down from the sky, staring at Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die inside the golden dragon with wide eyes. Seeing thein Ye Anping's hand, his eyes narrowed again. "? And the Holy Emperor's..."
Feng Yu Die immediately raised her sword in a guard stance in front of her and took a step back toward Ye Anping. "Young Master Ye..."
"..."
The next moment, a strong bloody energy flowed out of Kong Xiangmo's chest. Staring at Ye Anping's face, which was now his son's, his whole body was shaking with anger.
The golden dragon groaned as if saying that it couldn't bear it anymore.
Ye Anping was startled and immediately poured his spiritual power into the.
The golden light rising from all over the city gathered toward the. Seeing this, Kong Xiangmo took a step forward, raised his hand as a claw, and squeezed hard in the direction of Ye Anping.
The golden dragon that was originally holding the demonic energy at bay suddenly staggered and shrank down.
"Three breaths!!"
Seeing this, Ye Anping gritted his teeth slightly and quickly poured his spiritual power into theagain, urging in his heart.
—
The golden spiritual energy gathered in the. Ye Anping stared at Kong Xiangmo with a frown. However, the next moment, Kong Xiangmo's figure turned into a bloody shadow and crashed straight into the dragon's belly.
The powerful demonic energy rushed toward them. This time, Kong Xiangmo probably used all his strength, so the transparent golden dragon body that was protecting Feng Yu Die and Ye Anping was directly smashed by Kong Xiangmo, leaving a bloody hole.
Ye Anping realized that something was wrong, and he rushed forward, took out Bai Yue from the storage bag, and blocked Kong Xiangmo's palm with it.
The ghostly energy instantly passed from the sword body to the hilt and then poured into Ye Anping's right-hand meridians. He took a step back with difficulty, but Feng Yu Die also hurriedly crossed her sword behind his.
"Young Master Ye!!"
"Haaaa——!!!"
Kong Xiangmo put his palm on the crossed spirit swords of the two people, gritted his teeth, and took a step forward. Meanwhile, Ye Anping held up thewith his left hand.
A spiritual light that dyed the sky and the earth burst out from the, engulfing the figures of the three people around, and then quickly expanded outward, swallowing most of the.
Silence fell over the entire city.
There was no earth-shaking sound, only a touch of spiritual light that was enough to light up a thousand miles of yellow sand.
After a moment, the spiritual light disappeared.
And from the three people who were originally in a close stalemate, now only Kong Xiangmo was left.
HisSect Elder's uniform was in tatters, and his skin looked as if he had taken a bath in the magma, with sparks flashing one after another.
Kong Xiangmo slowly lowered his outstretched right hand, clenched it into a fist, and then raised his head, roaring to the sky.
"Ahhhh——!!!"
