Chapter 1224: Chapter 636: An Engagement is Set
They were all dressed in white Daoist robes embroidered with gold edges, faces young yet inherently arrogant, but now their eyes were red.
"Though our cultivation is not as advanced as his, we outnumber him dozens of times. I refuse to believe we can’t defeat him!"
The leading disciple held a bronze spear, its tip emitting a blinding green light.
The other disciples responded in kind, each summoning their lifebound magical treasure.
They launched their attack towards the Qiankun Venerate King.
Though these disciples were only Nascent Soul Realm, their combined might was enough to change the very color of the heavens.
The Qiankun Venerate King stood in the void, with a cat-and-mouse smile on his face.
Even as the attacks approached, he remained unmoved.
Various attacks fell upon Qiankun Venerate King, exploding in deafening roars.
When the dust settled, Qiankun Venerate King’s robe was not even scratched, only the Demonic Qi swirling around him had slightly thinned.
"This... how is this possible?"
A female disciple’s voice trembled as the jade hairpin magical treasure in her hand fell to the ground.
Qiankun Venerate King laughed wildly at the sky.
"The core disciples of Tianlan Sacred Land are not even as good as the watchdogs raised by this sect!"
He slowly lifted what seemed to be an ordinary wooden sword, the sword’s body suddenly bursting with a terrifying blood light.
"No! Retreat quickly!"
The leading disciple’s face changed dramatically, shouting hoarsely.
But it was too late.
With a light wave of the wooden sword, Qiankun Venerate King unleashed a fan-shaped mist of blood-red Sword Qi.
Wherever the Sword Qi passed, minute cracks appeared in the space itself.
The sound of flesh exploding resonated continuously.
The dozen disciples at the forefront didn’t even have time to scream before their bodies exploded.
"No!!"
In the distance, Gongsun Yue, who was fleeing, looked back at this scene, tears streaming down her face.
The remaining disciples were also swept by the remnants of the Sword Qi, with more than half severely injured and falling to the ground; only a few narrowly escaped calamity.
It was as if a rain of blood had descended upon the skies above Tianlan Sacred Land, the pungent smell of blood pervading the air.
"A puny ant trying to shake a big tree, overestimating oneself."
Qiankun Venerate King sneered, the blood light on the wooden sword grew even more intense.
"Scoundrel!"
An angry shout came from deep within the Sacred Land as several figures broke through the air to arrive.
These individuals far surpassed the previous disciples in momentum, and were obviously core elites of the Earth Palace Realm!
Taiyi Immortal King was about to intervene, but Qiankun Venerate King arrogantly raised his wooden sword.
"No need for the Immortal King to intervene, let this Venerate have some fun with these ants!"
Seven Earth Palace Realm disciples formed the Beidou Sword Formation, flying swords interwoven in the sky into a brilliant star map, oppressing Qiankun Venerate King below.
"Child’s play."
Qiankun Venerate King sneered, pointing the wooden sword skyward.
The seemingly fragile wooden sword clashed with the star map, emitting a metallic clang.
In the next moment, the star map shattered, and the flying swords broke simultaneously.
The Earth Palace Realm disciples spewed blood and were sent flying, with three of them even exploding outright!
"So Gu Sheng’s combat strength is this terrifying..."
The surviving Earth Palace Realm disciples were horrified, finally understanding it wasn’t that Qiankun Venerate King wasn’t strong, but that Gu Sheng was even more monstrous!
Those Heavenly Palace Realm elders, who were previously eager to stir, also fell silent, questioning themselves whether they could even withstand a single sword strike.
"Only if Gu Sheng returns can this fiend be suppressed..."
An elder murmured softly.
Qiankun Venerate King reveled in the fear-filled gazes of the crowd, his pride reaching its peak.
His blood-red eyes scanned the venue, locking onto Gongsun Yue who had already fled to the edge of the Sacred Land.
"It’s time to end this."
He turned into a bloody shadow and chased after them.
"Faster, a little faster!
Gongsun Yue held onto Gu Yu’s hand, desperately urging the remaining Spiritual Power within.
The two had already fled to the very edge of Tianlan Sacred Land’s barrier.
As long as they passed through this barrier, they could temporarily escape the Sacred Land’s range.
But Qiankun Venerate King would never give up the chase because of this.
"Gongsun sister"
Gu Yu suddenly stopped, his small face covered in tear streaks.
"Put me down, escape by yourself!"
"Nonsense!
Gongsun Yue scolded harshly, tightening her grip.
"I promised your brother to protect you!"
Yet Gu Yu stubbornly shook his head.
"With me, neither of us will escape!"
Gongsun Yue was about to retort when suddenly she sensed a terrifying killing intent approaching from behind.
She saw a bloody figure closing in at a frightening speed, the space it passed through was slightly distorted.
"There’s no time!
Gongsun Yue scooped up Gu Yu and rushed towards the barrier.
Just as they crossed the barrier, Gongsun Yue suddenly sensed countless unfamiliar and powerful auras from all directions.
In the void surrounding the Sacred Land, dozens of experts from major factions were hidden!
"Hahaha, the jokes of Tianlan Sacred Land just keep getting more amusing!"
A sinister voice came from the void.
"Tsk tsk, even unable to protect their own Holy Daughter, Tianlan Sacred Land is nothing special."
Indeed, the entire cultivation world was mocking Tianlan Sacred Land.
Gongsun Yue held the shivering Gu Yu tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with determination.
"Don’t be afraid, we’ll keep going!"
She chose a direction and darted away.
"Wretched girl, where do you think you’re going!"
Qiankun Venerate King’s furious roar exploded behind them.
Without looking back, Gongsun Yue could feel the suffocating killing intent closing in.
"Let me go, I beg you!"
Gu Yu struggled in Gongsun Yue’s embrace.
"You still have a chance alone..."
"Shut up!
Gongsun Yue’s voice choked with emotion.
"Am I, Gongsun Yue, someone who fears death and clings to life?"
A bloody Sword Qi suddenly assaulted from the side.
"Yue’er!"
The heart-wrenching shout of the Tianlan Saint Mother echoed through the clouds as she tore the void, attempting to rush over despite the deterrence of the Taiyi Immortal King.
Yet everything was too late.
The Qiankun Venerate King’s Primordial Life and Death Sword was already less than three feet away from Gongsun Yue’s head.
The terrifying Sword Qi had already shaved off a few strands of her hair.
