Tianpo's heart sank.
The three surrounded them, launching a relentless attack.
Zhang Niancheng's palm strikes were as powerful as a mountain, while Zhang Ruoju's fist strikes were cunning and ruthless.
But while he could manage those two, what truly chilled him to the bone was the young man in blue.
Li Qingyi didn't even get close.
He simply stood there, pointing his fingers like a sword, moving them casually.
Formless and intangible, yet extremely sharp and piercing energy arose out of thin air.
These sword energies seemed to have a life of their own, cutting in from the most tricky angles, fast, accurate, and ruthless!
The sword flashed, but the left sleeve of the robe was still grazed by a sword aura. The tough robe was torn open like paper, and a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain instantly appeared on the arm, with blood spurting out!
Immediately afterwards, the right leg, back, and ribs—
In just a few breaths, he was cut to pieces by the ubiquitous and eerie sword energy, and his protective spiritual light was as fragile as an eggshell, collapsing at the slightest touch!
"We must kill this scoundrel first! Otherwise, we will surely die today!" At this critical moment, a ruthless glint appeared in Tianpo's eyes.
"Get out of here!"
He suddenly roared, and the magical power of his half-step Foundation Establishment stage erupted like a volcano.
A violent shockwave exploded outwards from him, forcefully pushing the approaching Zhang Nian and his son back dozens of feet.
Li Qingyi's sword energy was also shattered by this sudden burst of magical power.
Tianpo took out a blood-red pill and swallowed it.
"Ugh—!"
In an instant, his eyes turned bloodshot and his aura began to surge wildly, but unfortunately, he was still stuck at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhang Ruoju, watching from the side, felt a chill run down his spine and frantically searched for time! "It's another secret medicine from Tingyu Pavilion! Where did he get it from?!"
"Burning the Heavens!"
With a wave of his hand, Tianpo conjured endless crimson flames from nowhere, instantly transforming into a raging sea of fire that completely engulfed the entire island in the lake.
The vegetation on the island withered, carbonized, and turned to ashes at a visible rate.
Li Qingyi and her two companions were instantly surrounded by a sea of fire.
The terrifying power of crimson flames was frantically eroding their protective aura.
Zhang Niancheng possessed profound cultivation, and the earthen-yellow protective aura around his body was relatively stable, but its radiance was dimming at a visible rate.
Zhang Ruoju was in a much worse state. His spiritual power at the ninth level of Qi Refining was woefully inadequate in the face of this terrifying sea of fire. His protective spiritual light flickered violently, and the cold sweat on his forehead evaporated into white vapor as soon as it appeared. His face quickly turned pale.
Is this heat trying to invade my body?
Li Qingyi frowned, and with a slight thought, the invisible sword energy that had been projecting outwards instantly retracted.
The strange heat that was enough to melt gold and iron and erode spiritual power was silently shredded by the invisible sharpness upon contact with this layer of sword energy.
The burning sensation throughout my body immediately dissipated.
Just then, amidst the raging inferno, a figure enveloped in dark red flames, like a shooting star, charged straight at Li Qingyi with a violent aura capable of incinerating everything.
Tianpo was convinced that the biggest variable and threat in this battle was Li Qingyi.
"die!"
The fiery fist slammed into the sword energy in front of Li Qingyi, producing a clear and long resonance.
The raging flames and the condensed sword energy clashed violently, bursting out with dazzling light.
The flames on the surface of Tianpo's fist were shattered by the invisible sword energy, and the sharp energy rebounded from the fist's base, tearing a deep gash that revealed bone, leaving it bleeding profusely.
"That damn thing again!"
Tianpo swiftly retreated, his fist clenched, and looked at his bleeding hand with great frustration.
This invisible sword energy, combining offense and defense, gave him the feeling of punching a steel needle, causing zero damage to the enemy but inflicting two hundred damages on himself.
"Wrong, this is called protective sword energy!"
Before he finished speaking, he formed an ancient sword seal with his hands in front of his chest.
In an instant, Li Qingyi's body shone with white light, and the sword energy instantly transformed into a sword lotus.
Wherever it passed, sword energy clashed.
"Break it!"
Tianpo refused to believe in evil, roared, and flames surged from his palms as he lunged forward, attempting to forcefully push the sword lotus back down.
In an instant, the blazing flames on his body were cut by the sword energy, and his flesh ripped out.
Tianpo groaned, his face turning deathly pale. He frantically channeled his spiritual energy to heal his injuries and retreated hastily.
The cutting power of this sword lotus far exceeded his expectations.
But if he wants to back out, how could the other two agree?
Zhang Niancheng and Zhang Ruoju have already launched an attack from behind.
With the terrifying sword lotus in front and two powerful experts attacking from behind, Tianpo was caught in a desperate situation, besieged on all sides.
At the critical moment of life and death, Tianpo's eyes turned even redder, and he let out a beast-like roar.
Instead of retreating, he slammed his palms together in front of his chest.
The surrounding raging sea of dark red fire was drawn in by an invisible force, surging and converging wildly between his palms.
The flames were highly compressed and swirled, instantly forming a dark red flame tornado hundreds of feet high around him, reaching from the sky to the ground.
The three men's offensive stalled, forcing them to temporarily retreat.
Li Qingyi felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the fiery tornado. Being on drugs really makes a difference.
Tianpo's voice came from within the fiery tornado, "Want to kill me? We'll all die together!"
The next moment, the fiery tornado split into three giant fire pythons that attacked the three of them.
Li Qingyi remained expressionless. With a flick of her sword finger, the pure white sword lotus beneath her shone even brighter, transforming into a silver sword dragon composed of chilling sword energy. It emitted a clear and melodious sword cry and fiercely met the oncoming fire python head-on.
Silver sword energy crisscrossed, cutting, disintegrating, and turning the dark red fire python into a sky full of flames! In just a few breaths, the fire python that was rushing towards Li Qingyi completely disintegrated.
On the other side, Zhang Niancheng roared repeatedly, barely managing to withstand the fire python's attack, but he was also forced to retreat repeatedly, the ground beneath his feet cracking.
Zhang Ruoju was in an even worse state, his fist energy retreating steadily under the onslaught of the fire python, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Li Qingyi glanced around, a thought flickering in her mind.
The sword light surged, like a reversed Milky Way, and slashed at the waist of the fire python that was attacking Zhang Ruoju.
Sword energy raged, and the second fire python was quickly annihilated. Zhang Ruoju, feeling much less pressure, looked at Li Qingyi with a complex expression, panting heavily.
Tianpo looked at Li Qingyi with a solemn expression.
Li Qingyi is simply too strong.
"What kind of sword technique is this?"
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Have you heard of 'The True Explanation of Swordsmanship'? Want to learn it? I'll teach you."
"The True Explanation of Sword Dao?" Tian Po was taken aback at first, then let out a mocking laugh as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world: "That useless book that countless cultivators have dismissed as mere theoretical nonsense and a misleading guide? It can have such power? Kid, who are you trying to fool?!"
"Isn't that a waste?" Li Qingyi's smile remained unchanged. "Didn't you just experience it firsthand?"
Li Qingyi stopped wasting words, pushed her sword energy to its limit, and looked at Zhang Nian beside her, "If you hold back any longer, your son won't be able to withstand it."
Zhang Niancheng looked at Li Qingyi with a face full of apprehension. The strength displayed by the ninth level of Qi Refining was in no way inferior to his own half-step Foundation Establishment.
Zhang Nian even felt that Li Qingyi was a level above her.
If Tianpo hadn't taken a secret medicine to enhance his magical power, he probably would have been captured long ago.
The magical power within Tianpo's body gradually began to riot. He knew that the side effects of snatching time from the sky had begun.
At this moment, his hands drew mysterious trajectories in the air, and his aura surged once again.
This drew the attention of the three people present.
"It can even unleash a burst of power?"
Li Qingyi felt a chill and withdrew the sword lotus back into her body.
The surrounding sea of fire turned from crimson to scarlet, and the surroundings gradually darkened.
All three of them felt immense pressure.
Li Qingyi looked at the two people beside her. Zhang Ruoju's face was pale, and he had obviously reached his limit.
Zhang Niancheng also began to breathe heavily.
"How can they be so weak?"
After a brief exchange, both fighters were mostly confined to the flanks, with the main offensive being carried out by themselves.
Seeing that Tianpo was completely enveloped in black flames and sensing that terrifying power, Li Qingyi felt a chill run down her spine.
It can't be kept anymore; it's just a pity that we can't extract any useful information.
Li Qingyi flicked his wrist, and the crystallized resentment was quietly in his hand.
He made a feint with his left hand, causing his sword energy to surge, which alerted Tianpo.
The next moment, a beam of black light shot straight up and pierced between his eyebrows.
"Despicable!" Tianpo cursed angrily, feeling a buzzing in his head, as if thousands of vengeful ghosts were trying to drag him into hell.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was distracted, Li Qingyi unleashed a flurry of sword energy that crisscrossed the sky, aiming straight for the heavens.
The black flames surrounding him were on the verge of collapse as his soul was being devoured.
In the instant that he was distracted from resisting the soul-devouring attack of the myriad ghosts, the sword energy shattered Tianpo's physical body.
Caught between a pincer attack and an underdog, Tianpo was ultimately no match, and his eyes dimmed.
As the sky crumbled and the body perished, clarity returned to the surroundings, revealing only the golden glow of the setting sun.
Zhang Niancheng, whose body was tense, was stunned when he saw this scene. He had been prepared to fight to the death, and Tianpo died just like that.
Zhang Ruoju was also shocked. He had not used his full strength to prevent Tianpo from revealing his secret before he died.
Fortunately, he was dealt a swift and decisive blow at that time, and as a result, Tianpo died.
Li Qingyi carefully put away the crystallized resentment, feeling only a little regretful.
He dared not gamble on whether those two could withstand that attack; if he got hurt, it wouldn't be worth it.
The setting sun was like blood, and the lake breeze carried the stench of blood as it swept across the silent battlefield.
