Chapter 1499 All Demons Retreat
The dark clouds above gathered into a vortex, and a huge black-purple lightning bolt leaped down from it like a dragon, landing in the sword strike.
Where the sword light enveloped, lightning flashed and thunder roared, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. The entire depths of the secret realm were suddenly illuminated by this sword, and even the clouds were almost completely cleaved in two.
The powerful cultivators who rushed over upon hearing the news also noticed the violent turmoil emanating from within the secret realm. Their words abruptly ceased as they all looked up in surprise.
"It's a celestial phenomenon!"
An elderly man with an ethereal air reacted the fastest. He stroked his beard and frowned deeply. "Who caused this strange phenomenon? What exactly did those disciples who went in earlier do inside?"
Why is the secret realm shaking so violently?
It's easy to imagine how intense the battle inside was; such terrifying commotion could even be clearly perceived by those outside the secret realm.
"I'm telling you, stop worrying about who made the noise. After all that research, do you even know if there's a way to get in? At least give me an answer."
The head of the Xu family was always impatient. After learning that his rebellious son had also been imprisoned, he was furious and repeatedly tried to break the barrier with his sword to pull the man out.
Although I'm used to the father scolding the son and the son being filial, he's still my own flesh and blood.
They can't really ignore it, but they can't control it if they want to.
The head of the Xu family was so angry just thinking about it that he wished he could hang Xu Xingmu up and beat him up right now.
The brat is so audacious and reckless that he has left his old father terrified.
Unfortunately, as a sword cultivator, he really didn't know much about barriers, and his attempt to force his way in ended in failure.
He immediately became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan—running around in circles.
However, no one was confident that they could do it, and an eerie silence fell over the atmosphere.
Just then, the head of the Ye family finally couldn't stand his inefficient, roundabout behavior and slapped him on the shoulder.
Why are you in such a hurry?
As the first family head to witness Gu Xia's abilities firsthand and to have teamed up with her to trick others, he raised an eyebrow. "Don't you think about it? No matter how dangerous the inside of the secret realm is, didn't Gu Xia go in with it?"
The head of the Xu family was taken aback for a moment, "It seems that's indeed the case."
"Remove the word 'seems'," said the Ye family head. "Since she's here, what else do you have to worry about?"
With the Tribulation Transcending Realm in charge, he didn't believe the demons inside could possibly cause any trouble.
The head of the Xu family looked uncertain. His lips moved, and after a long while, he managed to utter a sentence, "But... but it's precisely because she's here that it's even more worrying."
"Even if the secret realm is dangerous, could it be more dangerous than Gu Xia?"
Who knows what happened inside that made her personally chase after them?
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. But for Gu Xia, the other disciples are probably the most dangerous ones.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the family heads changed instantly.
Grass.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that's really the case.
The next second, several more anxious fathers joined the ranks.
The other powerful figures nearby subtly moved a little further away, unable to suppress their frowns.
It's been far too long since I've left the mountain; the cultivation world these days seems so neurotic.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The demon kings who had escaped in the chaos were unaware of what had happened.
At this moment, they were still basking in their own cleverness.
"What personal instruction? I think it's nothing special."
"Exactly, a bunch of half-grown brats, not even fully grown yet, do they really think they can scare us? How naive."
Amidst a burst of wild laughter, another demon king couldn't help but hesitate, "But... what if that brat in the Tribulation Transcending stage who left earlier finds out and comes looking for us?"
Recalling the scene where they were collectively stunned, the laughter of the several demons suddenly stopped, and their faces visibly turned ugly.
Being threatened by a brat who's not even as old as their toes—if word got out, it would be enough to make them lose all face for the rest of their demon lives.
"What are you afraid of?"
A powerful demon shrouded in a chilling aura flicked its tongue and said in a sinister tone, "Didn't she go looking for that madwoman? We can take this opportunity to hide."
"We'll wait until they're both severely weakened before we make our move."
"Besides..." His eyes gleamed with greed, "don't you want to try and see what kind of benefits it would bring to devour someone undergoing tribulation?"
Upon hearing this, the demon king who had spoken earlier instinctively interrupted him, "Are you crazy? That's a tribulation!"
And he's so young, he might be the apple of the eye of some major sect.
Making trouble for other cultivators might not cause much of a problem, but if they mess with Gu Xia, those old guys in the cultivation world will truly fight them to the death.
Even so, as the serpentine demon slowly described the beautiful scene, many of the demons present could not help but drool with greed.
If it could really devour that brat...
However, the next second, a sudden, loud noise shattered their beautiful fantasy.
As the ink churned, a streak of snow-white sword light appeared from afar, suddenly illuminating their expressions.
The expressions of the powerful demons changed drastically. They looked up at the distant horizon, their massive bodies bending and collapsing to the ground in fear.
"This is... the aura of the Heavenly Dao?" The previous boastful words had vanished without a trace, and the serpentine demon was filled with fear. "No, it's not quite the same."
"What on earth happened over there?!"
*
No one was there to answer the questions of those outsiders and the demon kings.
As Gu Xia's cold voice fell, the aura unleashed by the Floating Life Sword became even more astonishing, with its bright sword light shooting straight into the sky.
Qu Yimian's pupils suddenly contracted as she watched the merciless killing move descending upon her from above. Amidst her fear, an intense sense of resentment also welled up within her.
"Gu Xia, you forced me to do this!"
She struggled and slapped her chest, three drops of blood spurting out. Under the oppressive force, her expression became increasingly distorted. "Since that's the case, then let's all go to hell together—"
Having lost her essence and blood, Qu Yimian's face quickly turned ashen, but she didn't care at all.
Using three drops of heart's blood as a guide, strange runes flew out, and the entire secret realm shook even more violently in an instant. Everyone who was fighting lost their footing and could only huddle together with their companions to support each other.
"Depend on!"
Xu Xingmu couldn't help but curse under his breath, "What's she up to?"
Xie Baiyi braced himself with his sword and keenly sensed the abnormality. "It's not the secret realm shaking, it's the ground sinking."
“She wants to destroy this place too!” Cen Huan reacted quickly, revealing the truth in one sentence.
However, just as everyone looked up, a mighty sword light, accompanied by rolling thunder, slashed down.
In an instant, the world lost its color, the entire space froze, and an endless expanse of pure white light spread out. Qu Yimian was completely enveloped in the clear light of the sword energy, and her scream was choked in her throat as soon as it was uttered.
Judgment by a single sword.
The demons retreated.
The young girl's sword strike was breathtaking, seemingly traversing the long river of time.
It not only distinguishes between superior and inferior, but also determines life and death.
