After severing Zhu Xuze’s arm with one sword, the other sword of the peerless Heavenly Demon immediately unleashed a dark blue sword intent that soared through the heavens and slashed at Zhu Xuze’s neck. As a paramount killing intent gathered, a large fracture was torn into even the inky black sky.
Zhu Xuze crushed his final jade pendant.
The blood of a Holy Vermilion Bird was instantly released, forming a large and indestructible shield of blood.
Boom!
The blue sword slammed into the shield of blood, causing energy to explode and contort. The domineering and eerie blue sword intent was extremely powerful, yet it was unable to shatter the shield of blood!
Crack!
When the shield of blood finally exhausted its energy and fractured.
Zhu Xuze had already retreated into the distance again.
“Futile struggles,” the peerless Heavenly Demon said. It was emotionless after failing to kill Zhu Xuze with its attack. It flapped its wings and immediately charged at him again.
Bursts of holy flames surged toward the peerless Heavenly Demon, yet these were all easily slashed aside by it.
A feeling of helplessness overcame Zhu Xuze as he gazed at the nearing peerless Heavenly Demon. Its aura was stifling, and its power was invincible. There was simply no way to block it or fight against it.
The peerless Heavenly Demon raised its sword before slashing down again.
Zhu Xuze had already used all of his life-saving items. As he gazed at the enlarging blue sword, he knew that he was finally going to be killed.
There was reluctance in his eyes.
He wanted to fight back, yet the aura of the sword had already restricted all of his movements. He had nowhere to escape…
However, a shadow suddenly fell over him, and a dazzling gleam suddenly burst over!
A young woman leaped out from the shadows, and she held a gleaming saber in her hand as she stood before Zhu Xuze.
The peerless Heavenly Demon was almost blinded by this gleam. Moreover, the killing intent that was radiating from the young woman caused the space around it to freeze.
What kind of killing intent was this?
It was so powerful that it could even affect the nomological laws of heaven and earth?
The peerless Heavenly Demon’s expression changed drastically for the very first time. Its sword slashed down, yet it slammed into the dazzling and ice-cold gleam instead of Zhu Xuze’s neck. There was an explosion of energy.
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon finally saw the face of the young woman before it. She was none other than the young woman who it had defeated in a single strike just then.
This was an extremely familiar scene.
This was also an exchange of attacks between the peerless Heavenly Demon and Ye Ling.
This time, however, the peerless Heavenly Demon felt an overwhelming power traveling over from its blade. It was unable to send the young woman flying with a single strike again.
The peerless Heavenly Demon was slightly baffled. Wasn’t this woman facing her tribulation? That being the case, why could she still charge over to fight against it? A single mistake, and one would be killed by their tribulation! Yet this woman was actually charging over to fight against it? If this were any other cultivator, they would have already been killed by their tribulation ten times over!
Immediately afterward, the peerless Heavenly Demon witnessed another bizarre scene.
It discovered that there was some hazy matter coiled around the young woman’s saber. These were arcs of purple lightning that contained a hint of black within them. Moreover, these arcs of lightning made it feel a sense of extreme danger.
“What… is this thing?” the peerless Heavenly Demon squinted its eyes and asked.
“Guess,” Ye Ling said with a slight smile.
The arcs of purple and black lightning on her dagger suddenly traveled along the peerless Heavenly Demon’s blue sword, instantly reaching its body. These arcs of lightning then exploded and started to wantonly destroy its body.
“Ahhhh…!”
The peerless Heavenly Demon screamed in agony as the devastating arcs of lightning suddenly started to explode and wreak havoc across its body.
These were arcs of legendary lightning that could wound even God of Creation Stage divine beings; this was Origin Essence Divine Lightning that was born from amid the chaos and transcendent above heaven and earth. Thus, the devastating nature of these arcs of lightning far exceeded the attacks of ordinary Dao Integration Stage super-mighty beings!
Upon seeing these arcs of powerful lightning coil around her dagger, Ye Ling had immediately developed the daring thought of killing the peerless Heavenly Demon using this Chaotic Divine Lightning.
“Die!” Ye Ling roared softly. An ice-cold and brilliant radiance immediately erupted from her dagger, with the arcs of Chaotic Divine Lightning ruthlessly striking at the peerless Heavenly Demon.
Like slithering snakes and dragons, the arcs of deadly lightning instantly pierced through the peerless Heavenly Demon’s body, leaving several gaping holes in its wings. Bursts of violent energy then started to ruthlessly obliterate the vitality of its body. In fact, the Heavenly Demon’s flesh continued to shudder and erupt in extraordinary scenes that were even more shocking than someone being burned alive.
Boom!
Destructive arcs of lightning exploded into the surroundings.
Even Ye Ling was sent flying by the shockwaves of the explosion.
After stabilizing herself with great difficulty, she looked toward the center of the explosion with an anxious expression.
Meanwhile, the cultivators were all stunned by Ye Ling’s heaven-defying feat. However, they didn’t have time to exclaim in astonishment, and they all turned their gazes toward the center of the explosion.
The arcs of explosive lightning disappeared, revealing the charred figure of the Heavenly Demon in the sky. There was no patch of unscathed skin on its body, and its pair of wings had also been ravaged beyond recognition. Countless drops of black ink dripped from its body. Gazing up, there was also a gigantic hole in its head.
“Killing a powerful being using the power of her tribulation… All bow to Supreme Leader Ye Ling!”
“Is this a ‘tribulation kill’? This is a spectacular and never-before-seen feat! This is definitely a legendary tribulation that can enter the history books of the Tai Chu Continent!”
“Did she succeed?”
“The Heavenly Demon has already been ravaged to such a state, so how can it still be alive?”
“Let’s deliver a few more killing blows and burn it more comprehensively!”
“Alright!”
Several elders at the Return to Void Stage unleashed powerful fire-element spell techniques at the peerless Heavenly Demon.
At this moment, a blue halo suddenly materialized around the peerless Heavenly Demon, blocking all of these attacks.
“Phew…” There was a long and profound sigh.
The temperature in the surroundings suddenly dropped by several degrees.
Ye Ling shuddered slightly, and she tightened her grip on her dagger. “It’s actually still alive…”
The arcs of Chaotic Divine Lightning that were powerful enough to instantly kill Dao Integration Stage super-mighty beings had actually failed to kill the peerless Heavenly Demon…
“Very well…
“What a terrifying human… You can even take advantage of your Dao Integration Stage Tribulation…
“I definitely can’t let you live…”
A wicked smile spread across the peerless Heavenly Demon’s face as the purple flames on its tail transformed into dragons that coiled around its twin blue swords. This caused the blue swords to burn with powerful and deadly flames.
As the peerless Heavenly Demon held its twin swords that were roaring with purple flames, it spread its ravaged wings until they covered a vast area in the sky. At the same time, its formidable aura burst into the surroundings, even triggering a resonance of energy within a radius of several thousand kilometers. At this moment, it was like an invincible demon that stoked terror and dread into everyone’s mind.
“Heh, your attack of divine lightning was indeed very powerful. However, your weapon is no longer imbued with that divine lightning.
“So, how are you going to battle against me now?”
The peerless Heavenly Demon suddenly started to speak more to this human who had wounded it, the first human to do so. It was as if it wanted to see her expression of despair.
Zhu Xuze immediately flew beside Ye Ling, saying, “I’ll hold it back. You’ve already done enough for us, so hurry up and escape while you can. This is a battle for the Vermilion Bird Sect, so hand the remaining matters to us…”
Ye Ling glanced at the injury-riddled man beside her.
She knew that Zhu Xuze couldn’t bear to see her dying here. However, she didn’t move from her spot. Instead, she glanced at the peerless Heavenly Demon and said with a smile, “My weapon is no longer imbued with divine lightning? You’re right. However, now is different from before.”
Ye Ling raised her dagger toward the sky, and her crisp voice immediately echoed through heaven and earth. “Lightning, come!”
Boom!
Bolts of Chaotic Divine Lightning suddenly descended from the hazy and churning sky!
Like birds returning to their nest, and like dancing snakes and dragons, these bolts of Chaotic Divine Lightning illuminated the dim world as they arced down and coiled around the young woman’s dagger!
