'I didn't expect Elder Shiming to hide so deeply, his strength almost comparable to Pei Dongliu. I lost a bit of calculation this time.'

The Sword Maiden's eyes unknowingly developed a pair of overlapping pupils, within which human figures flickered, revealing a radiant divine light.

Recently, Qing Yu focused mainly on the Blood Vault, resulting in less attention to the attack on Liang Nixing, putting Xuanyin Sword Residence and Sword Maiden into peril.

[Sword Residence, leave.]

As soon as the thought-transmission was complete, the two of them tacitly transformed into streaks of light and swiftly departed.

"Want to leave, did you ask this old man?"

Unexpectedly, Elder Shiming abandoned Daoist Feng Yun and came to pursue Xuanyin Sword Residence and the Sword Maiden possessed by Qing Yu.

'Although Daoist Feng Yun is ultimately a powerful warrior, this old man seized the chance to ambush him and severely wounded him. However, killing him is incredibly difficult, and Dragon Tiger Mountain might have some backup plans.

Instead, these two······'

A pair of double pupils tightly stared at the duo from Xuanyin Sword Residence, with golden runes flashing in his eyes, showcasing the ability of Heavy-eyed Fate Observation. But surprisingly, there was a mysterious mist enveloping the two, heavily obscuring their true nature. The black cloak they wore also lit up with dark purple inscriptions, aiding in concealment.

The cloaks worn by Xuanyin Sword Residence and Sword Maiden were meticulously processed by Qing Yu, containing the power of the Nihility Magic Mirror and the spirit power of Ten Directions Destruction, making it impossible for ordinary people to see through.

Although Elder Shiming was no ordinary person, Qing Yu had planted Demon Seeds in both Xuanyin Sword Residence and Sword Maiden, with Sword Maiden currently possessed by Qing Yu, making it difficult to discern their true strength.

"Stop!"

The Heavenly Destiny Palm expanded massively, covering the four corners, leaving no place to escape.

"Lord Sword Residence······"

At this point, two figures also wearing black cloaks rushed forward, identified as Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1 who previously went to instruct bombing.

Their appearance, adding to the escape from the predicament, brought additional challenge, as although they had Demon Seeds within them, their strength was far weaker compared to Xuanyin Sword Residence and Sword Maiden possessed by Qing Yu, destined for failure to evade Elder Shiming's pursuit.

So······

[It's time for you to sacrifice yourselves.]

The thought-transmission words lingered in their minds, as Sword Maiden's eyes turned severe, with inexplicable undulations emanating from within.

"bong——"

Simultaneously, their bodies shook, with blood, Essence Qi, True Qi, and bone energy all transforming into a crimson dragon absorbed by Sword Maiden into her body.

At the moment of planting Demon Seeds, Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1's lives were entrusted to Qing Yu. If Qing Yu demanded their death, they couldn't escape the arrival of death even if unwilling.

The two crimson dragons merged into her body, with two streams of Xuanyin Sword Energy also integrating with Sword Maiden, the blood light dazzling. Qing Yu, using Blood Vault, remodeled and elevated the possessed body to accommodate Qing Yu's greater force.

"Devil Light Appears."

Qing Yu manipulated Sword Maiden's body to abruptly turn around, with dark decrees manifesting from behind, launching a move with a demonic Reaching God Divine Palm.

"Bang——"

The omnipresent Heavenly Destiny Palm was suppressed by Devil Light, and Qing Yu, absorbing the Buddha Power within the Heart Light Decree, unfolded the first move of Reversed Palm of Tathagata with immense force, standing on par with Elder Shiming.

"Destiny is with me."

Elder Shiming faced this resistance, stimulating True Qi, a potent and mysterious force from the unseen came and blessed him, enhancing palm force further.

However, just as Elder Shiming attempted another palm strike, Daoist Feng Yun from afar made a bold move, lunging straight towards Liang Nixing.

"Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl shaking Feng Yun."

The gale gathered, forming a Dragon and Tiger position, which howled, bursting with a furious roar that shattered gold and cracked rock.

"Roar——"

"Howl——"

Airwaves blasted, Liang Nixing was hit, his already injured body felt surging blood again, causing him to spit a mouthful of fresh blood.

Meanwhile, seeing this opportunity, Qing Yu grasped Sword Residence's shoulder, connecting True Qi, a dark Lotus emerged outside, summoning out the shadow of a black dragon.

Reversing Buddha Skill·Demon Dragon Roar.

Qing Yu cultivated Silent Annihilation Inheritance, transforming between Buddha and Demon in a thought, reversing the Buddhist Forbidden Sky Dragon Roar into Demon Dragon Roar, echoing with Daoist Feng Yun's Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl.

"Boom boom boom——"

The sound waves shook the earth, Elder Shiming received the impact from both sides' sound mastery, skin oozing blood, the Primordial Spirit experiencing dizziness.

And Liang Nixing with injuries already suffered, took this combined assault and worsened further, holding his head in non-stop howls, evidently harmed deeply in Primordial Spirit and brain.

The Heavenly Dragon Roar renowned as "Thousand-mile Shattering Brain Divine Sound", was it not for Sword Maiden and Xuanyin Sword Residence lacking enough True Qi, they'd roar Liang Nixing alive to death.

With a successful strike, Qing Yu grasped Xuanyin Sword Residence's shoulder, quickly retreating, the figure transforming to void, disappearing without a trace in moments.

"Shiming, your unrighteous deeds shall face calamity in the future. Take care of yourself."

The tiger roared, carrying Daoist Feng Yun into the sky, transforming into a void, vanishing in a short while.

Earlier ambushed by Elder Shiming, heavily injured, although given brief respite due to Elder Shiming pursuing Xuanyin Sword Residence, the injury didn't improve much within this short period. Lingering further is unwise, retreat is the better choice.

These figures suddenly clashed over Feichao Town sky, swiftly leaving, leaving only Elder Shiming and still wailing Liang Nixing.

Elder Shiming gracefully landed, grabbing the head-holding struggling Liang Nixing, tauntingly, "At the beginning, this old man invited you to Hou Qian, you didn't listen, now don't blame me for using you as bait."

Though Liang Nixing was deeply entwined with Elder Shiming, he wasn't Elder Shiming's subordinate minion. The Young Island Master of Jingliu Island came to the Central Plains for revenge, leveraging Elder Shiming's power.

But Elder Shiming concentrated on Central Plains situations, now unable to care about Japan overseas. Moreover, the Sword God's severe injury led him to temporarily cease chaos thoughts, deciding to bide his time.

This behavior displeased Liang Nixing, had plans to escape Elder Shiming's control. But, relying merely on this chess piece, how can one defy the chess player?

Elder Shiming purposefully let Liang Nixing loose, using him as bait to lure the renegade Wen Xisheng and that unknown adversary.

His plan succeeded, not only attracting Wen Xisheng's aids but also drawing Xuanyin Sword Residence and others.

Soaring into the air, Elder Shiming hauled Liang Nixing to the mountain peak where the bombing squad previously took flight.

Here, only bloodied remains were left, along with charred traces and intense sulfur smell.

Seeing impossible escape, these individuals decisively detonated remaining firearms in their hands to commit suicide without hesitation. Furthermore, the explosion obscured some traces, not leaving clues for adversary's investigation.

However, Elder Shiming, gazing at this flesh and blood hell-like scene, revealed deep thought: 'This resolute and tragic style appears similar to the long dormant Azure Dragon Association······'
