The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1689 - 1685: The Limit

"Hand it over."

Su Xiao let out a low growl, his hand forming into a claw as he suddenly grasped the spear shaft, intent on snatching the Punishment Sky Reverse from Seventh Killer’s grasp.

Seventh Killer’s expression remained unchanged. Killing intent surged within his body, and red light instantly emanated from the spear shaft. Dozens of coiling dragon phantoms, each several feet long, burst forth from the gun body, forcibly prying Su Xiao’s hand away.

Su Xiao frowned as the loosened spear swung back and struck his chest heavily, sending him staggering backward.

Immediately afterward, from behind him, the Flying Dragon in the Sky spear swept in horizontal strikes, pinning him in the center with attacks from both sides.

Su Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly, only to see golden light erupt above his head. A golden pagoda had unknowingly descended to suppress him.

He truly did not expect the Heavenly Palace disciples and Demon King Fort disciples to cooperate so seamlessly.

In truth, neither Jiang Shentian nor Seventh Killer had anticipated their coordination to be so flawless.

"Kid, aren’t you underestimating Taiyi Cultivators a bit too much?" At this moment, Su Xiao’s expression suddenly shifted, his tone teasing.

As his words fell, a burst of radiant green light erupted around him. An overwhelmingly massive green fox Dharma-form suddenly emerged, its hundred-foot-tall figure instantly forcing Jiang Shentian and Seventh Killer to retreat.

The Green Fox Dharma-form raised its head and let out a thunderous roar, ejecting a torrent of green light from its mouth like an inverted waterfall into the sky, directly striking and flinging away the golden pagoda.

Freed from its suppression, the giant fox swiftly swiped at Jiang Shentian with its claw. The enormous claw imprint stirred up several gusts of green wind, sweeping across the battlefield and throwing both Fox Clan and Allied cultivators alike into the air.

Jiang Shentian narrowly evaded, his brows furrowing deeply at the scene before him.

Shen Luo, witnessing this from afar, tightened his brows and stopped drumming, ceasing his efforts to ignite the Allied cultivators’ fervor. If their recklessness continued, it would only lead to more needless deaths and injuries.

When the war drums fell silent, the Allied cultivators finally shook off their frenzied state and immediately sank into fear.

The massive green fox was still wreaking havoc with its claws, leaving deep trenches across the valley floor. These trenches were filled with shattered limbs and remains of cultivators from various sects.

Seventh Killer ascended into the air, then plummeted down from the skies, the Punishment Sky Reverse in his hand erupting in blood-red light with hundreds of coiling dragon phantoms accompanying it, assaulting the giant fox Dharma-form.

The Fox Dharma-form suddenly raised one massive claw to meet the strike head-on.

"Boom!"

The explosive crash echoed loudly! In the high sky, green brilliance shattered. The fox Dharma-form’s claws exploded apart, and Seventh Killer was sent flying.

"To break through my Dharma-form... not bad. Sadly, the gap in cultivation cannot be bridged by mere talent." Su Xiao sneered, raising the fox leg of his Dharma-form to stomp fiercely on the cultivators below.

"Let me try..."

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out from above.

Su Xiao instinctively looked up to find Shen Luo, now hovering alone in mid-air. He held neither a sword nor a staff, but instead grasped a three-foot-long blade.

The blade was none other than the Hongming Saber, forged in the same furnace as the Xuanyuan Sword.

Shen Luo had already fully refined this saber and now infused it with mana. As he did so, a sharp cry of a skylark pierced the skies, and light cascaded fluidly from the blade as it unleashed radiant sword glow, magnified a hundredfold.

"Su Xiao Elder, prepare yourself!"

Shen Luo shouted lowly, gripping the Hongming War Saber tightly with both hands and swinging it downward toward Su Xiao Elder.

Where the sword glow swept across, layers of void fractured, revealing black fissures that emitted terrifying space ripples accompanied by peculiar humming sounds. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Su Xiao immediately noticed the extraordinary nature of this strike, quickly raising his hands high while the giant fox Dharma-form rapidly regenerated its shattered arm, crossing to shield the area above its head.

Simultaneously, within the Dharma-form, a pitch-black round shield adorned with a beastly pattern silently materialized in front of Su Xiao’s true body. The exotic beast’s twin eyes glinted fiercely, releasing dense glimmers to protect him.

The blade glow severed the void, crashing downward.

With a deafening blast, the fox Dharma-form’s sizable arm instantly exploded.

The emerald blade light sliced through the Dharma-form’s limb like cutting tofu, striking the pitch-black beast-patterned shield. A second blast roared shortly thereafter.

A faint lion’s roar seemed to emerge from the shield, as if a ferocious beast sought to break free from its surface. But before it could emerge, it was cleaved in two, the shield shattering along with it.

Su Xiao’s heart sank in horror, unable to fathom the unparalleled sharpness of this blade. Hastily, he channeled his remaining mana to his jade-armored gloves, slapping them onto the blade glow.

A third shattering blast occurred, his jade-armored gloves unable to endure for long before their plates were all shattered.

The emerald blade glow sliced through his left shoulder, gleaming with blood as it severed half of his shoulder. The residual glow pressed forward, eventually slicing into the City Wall.

"Boom"

The thunderous explosion erupted at the City Wall, its overwhelmingly sharp and imposing strike cutting diagonally through the wall. The tower eaves collapsed and half of the wall crumbled, leaving a gaping fissure.

Su Xiao forcefully suppressed the domineering blade energy coursing through his left-shoulder wound, his eyes brimming with disbelief as he stared at Shen Luo.

Seeing Shen Luo smiling at him, his hands once again raised the blade, unmitigated fear finally flickered in Su Xiao’s eyes.

This man truly had the capability to end him.

A surge of vigilance arose in Su Xiao’s heart. After a moment of hesitation and internal struggle, he chose to evade rather than confront, his figure turning as he fled toward the city interior.

The remaining Qingqiu Fox Clan disciples on the City Wall saw their elder retreat from battle and promptly followed suit, flying away.

Yet before they could catch up, Su Xiao’s enormous fox tail suddenly swung out. A wave of tremendous force sent the escaping elders flying back.

Below the City Wall, cultivators from various Allied sects saw Shen Luo demolish the City Gate and force Su Xiao into retreat. The Qingqiu Fox Clan elders were visibly afraid, leaving the Allied forces emboldened.

"Kill, kill them all!"

Someone shouted loudly, prompting the Allied cultivators to charge at Qingqiu City once more.

Inside and outside the City Gate, Qingqiu Fox Clan disciples without orders for withdrawal were like headless flies—directionless, without any resistance. The Allied cultivators overwhelmed them, slashing through countless in an instant.

In the air, Shen Luo attempted to intervene but, just as he opened his mouth, blood seeped from the corners of his lips.

If Su Xiao had delayed his departure, he would have noticed Shen Luo’s trembling hands barely steadying the blade. Indeed, while the Hongming Saber possessed unparalleled blade energy, forcibly wielding it had overstrained Shen Luo, leaving residual blade energy to backlash against its master.

This was Shen Luo’s first time fully exerting the saber’s power since refining it. The earlier strike nearly emptied his mana reserves, with its retaliatory blade energy crashing violently through his organs.

He sheathed the Hongming Saber, slowly descending from the air. Nie Caizhu instantly noticed something amiss and swiftly came to him, inspecting his injuries.
