Chapter 771 - 351: Vicious Methods
The suddenly appearing man, with Profound Immortal cultivation, wielded a Celestial Saber spell that destroyed everything. In the blink of an eye, the saber light reached them, and those on the flying carpet, including An Li, were all taken aback.
"Senior Brother An Li, you focus on controlling the flying carpet, I’ll handle him--"
Li Nianxue spoke, her hands quickly forming seals. The power of the Immortal Dao condensed above everyone into one immortal flower after another, shielding them. But the Celestial Saber fell so powerfully that it rapidly burst with four-colored energy, shattering all of Li Nianxue’s immortal flowers.
Four-colored Profound Immortal!
Generally speaking, a three-colored Profound Immortal is already considered quite impressive; a four-colored Profound Immortal is truly among the elite.
Li Nianxue’s face turned slightly pale, and a trickle of fresh blood appeared at the corner of her mouth. Yet she quickly changed her spell. With the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, she resembled a celestial maiden, closing her eyes. From her three immortal flowers, strands of immortal chains shot out, entwining with the four-colored Celestial Saber in the vast river of void.
The light of the four-colored Celestial Saber dimmed, actually being held back.
Li Nianxue was also a Seven-Petaled True Immortal!
"No, this spell will quickly deplete your strength."
An Li, controlling the flying carpet, was unable to provide support. His gaze swept forward and spotted a small patch of floating soil tens of thousands of miles away. He hurriedly flew over and saw that Li Nianxue’s brow was already trickling with blood. An Li hesitated for a moment but then freed a hand, bringing his two fingers together to point at the middle-aged man--
A sword light burst forth rapidly, striking at the grey-clad man with lightning speed. The grey-clad man sneered coldly and swung his saber, creating a piercing sound of metal clashing against stone in the void, blocking An Li’s sword.
While An Li’s sword helped relieve the pressure on Li Nianxue, the flying carpet tilted instantly, wobbling and on the verge of falling. Several disciples nearly fell off, clinging tightly to the edge of the flying carpet, as Li An assisted in pulling them back up one by one.
The floating soil was right in front of them. An Li’s Immortal Power surged, and finally, the flying carpet landed on the floating soil with such force that it stirred up a cloud of sand and stones.
The disruptive force in the void markedly diminished. Everyone steadied themselves and turned around.
The grey-clad man had also arrived.
"Well, you’ve chosen a rather decent burial ground for yourself."
The grey-clad man spoke coldly.
"Whose burial ground this is, isn’t certain yet--"
The flying sword on An Li’s back had already moved, and he had become one with his sword, shooting directly at the grey-clad man like a white rainbow piercing the sun. His Swordsmanship was so simple and straightforward, lacking in colorful glows or excessive fluctuations, yet wherever it passed, the light shield created by the grey-clad man’s raised hand was pierced through!
For years, he had diligently pursued the Sword Dao under Xiang Yuntian, and had long become a powerful Sword Immortal.
And a Sword Immortal, the most formidable force is their attack power!
"I have underestimated you!"
The grey-clad man sneered, his long saber slicing out, as if turning into a thousand, tens of thousands of blades, slashing erratically. An Li, wielding his long sword, blocked and broke each one but his offensive speed slowed down.
"Join the fight together!"
Li Nianxue shouted mightily. Among the Dao Sect’s arriving members, only she and An Li were near the Profound Immortal Realm. The others were merely Immortals. Without attacking together, there would be no way to survive in front of a single Profound Immortal.
For a time, this floating soil buzzed with Immortal Light, transforming into a battlefield, as Li Nianxue and others unleashed various spells in succession.
Li An joined the fray as well, though he did not take the lead.
He needed to find an opportunity, one unnoticed by others, but capable of killing the opponent.
Moreover, he had already discerned that this grey-clad man had not yet exerted his full strength. The opponent’s true cultivation should be that of a Five-colored Profound Immortal!
A Five-colored Profound Immortal, even within the Saint Realm, is a truly formidable Profound Immortal.
Li Nianxue once more employed the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, using the immortal chains technique to block the saber light slashing towards An Li, giving him a brief window of opportunity--
An Li’s figure vanished instantly, reappearing in front of the grey-clad man the next moment, thrusting out his sword.
The grey-clad man showed disdain, swinging his long saber. The intersecting blade and sword clashed with Profound Immortal Level power, knocking An Li back thousands of miles!
An Li struggled to stabilize his body, his face turning extremely pale.
"Today marks your doom--"
The grey-clad man’s long saber slashed down forcefully. Li Nianxue and the others’ spells were also driven back. Against absolute strength, even Seven-Petaled True Immortals like An Li and Li Nianxue found it challenging to form an effective counterattack.
But at that moment, the grey-clad man’s brow furrowed slightly, and a trace of fresh blood unexpectedly trickled from his mouth too.
He closed his eyes and, when he reopened them, they brimmed with killing intent. He fixed his gaze on An Li and said, "Sword Intent!!"
Though he had indeed repelled An Li, he was wounded internally by An Li’s unstoppable Sword Intent, only realizing it now.
"With such cultivation, to possess this level of Sword Intent, if you were to reach the Profound Immortal stage, I fear I would end up dead by your sword!"
The grey-clad man no longer hesitated. In a blink, his figure shifted, and the four-colored Celestial Saber appeared behind Li Nianxue. Unfazed, Li Nianxue said, "An Li--"
She intended to once more use the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top to entangle the grey-clad man, creating an opportunity for An Li. But at that moment, Li An’s voice resounded like thunder in her mind: "Retreat!"
Without hesitation, Li Nianxue retreated.
At that moment, the saber light of the grey-clad man revealed a fifth color!
Five-colored Profound Immortal!
Though Li Nianxue retreated in time, she was still impacted by this Celestial Saber’s power, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, her complexion white, struggling to maintain balance.
The Dao Sect members were all visibly astonished.
A four-colored Profound Immortal’s all-out fight was already incredibly difficult. Now, with the opponent’s cultivation so high, how could they possibly hope to prevail?
