Above the dilapidated temple, the destructive aura in the dark clouds had accumulated to its peak; it seemed that lightning would strike any moment.
The Heavens seemed to be enraged.
Facing the wrath of the Heavens, the young woman's dark flowing skirt fluttered, and the lightning illuminated her serene eyes, yet it failed to stir a single ripple.
Crack—
A ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) thunderclap exploded, and a lightning snake as thick as a bucket roared down from the sky.
Bathed in the lightning, Ying Bing's furrowed brows actually relaxed slightly.
After being cleansed by the Heavenly Tribulation, her already fair skin became even more lustrous, like pure ivory satin, seemingly soft, yet capable of dispelling external forces.
"The Heavenly Tribulation of the Jie Shen Jade, its effect on refining the Physical Body, is indeed good."
"It should be effective for him too..."
"Let's aim to get the Ming Sha Jing Fan Body to the second layer today."
Ying Bing adjusted her breathing for a moment, then, after pondering with downcast eyes, picked up the Jie Shen Jade again.
Two lightning patterns lit up on it simultaneously!
The dark clouds were like boiling ink. An ordinary person, even just standing there, would feel their scalp tingle, filled with dread.
Crack—
This time, the lightning did not thicken; instead, it became thinner, but its color changed to purplish-red, transforming into a Heavenly Blade that struck down.
The thunder rumbled in all directions, echoing across the wilderness.
Ying Bing advanced instead of retreating, her body enveloped in the Ming Jing Fan Light.
The lightning flowed over her, refining every inch of her body, which had been tempered by the Yin Qi, making her acupoints and Meridians glow brightly.
Han Xianzi was fine, but the dilapidated temple behind her suffered greatly.
The lingering power of the Heavenly Tribulation relentlessly struck the dilapidated temple, utterly destroying the already crumbling structure.
The commotion spread far and wide... Dijin, Imperial City.
In an extremely grand and imposing residence, armored guards stood watch inside and out. The plaque above bore the two characters 'Qian Gong Mansion' in vigorous, dragon-and-phoenix-like calligraphy.
Within the mansion, there were also rockeries, courtyards, and a lake, but this lake was different from others; dense lightning surged within it, forming a pond made of liquefied lightning.
That Seventh Realm expert, the emperor's uncle, who controlled the Dao of Heavenly Punishment, was leisurely examining a long sword with a dragon-scale pattern.
"This sword is good. It seems that old Du Wufeng hasn't let his craftsmanship go to waste these past years."
Duke Qian lightly flicked the sword, making it emit a crisp sound.
"It should have been the most prominent sword at the Qianlong Assembly."
Jiang Yu's gaze at the Zunlong Sword was no longer as joyful as when he first acquired it.
"Who would have thought that Han Xianzi could summon the Celestial Human Divine Sword and even hand it to Li Mo?"
The Commander of the Sky Patrol Guard, wearing a dark gold face mask, spoke.
"I've investigated; although this person's Sword Intent is not bad, it's far from exceptionally brilliant, and it's not worth mentioning compared to his Hammer Technique."
"That is, after all, a God Sword; it was her weapon back then."
Duke Qian shook his head, seemingly reminiscing, "Even if wielded by a child, it cannot be underestimated."
"It's better than being in Ying Bing's hands."
The person in the dark gold face mask said, "The God Sword in his hands is like a pearl cast before swine, unable to exert even a fraction of its power, and will instead become his downfall. When Your Highness confronts him, he will also be able to wield a God Sword."
"It's too early to draw conclusions now."
Jiang Yu's expression relaxed.
Indeed.
The Celestial Human Divine Sword in Li Mo's hands is better than in Ying Bing's or Chu Long's hands.
"By the way, recently, the Blood Refinement Hall of the Demon Summoning Sect has been quite active in the city. The yamen is looking into this matter."
No sooner had the person in the dark gold face mask finished speaking.
Suddenly.
Duke Qian, dressed in a purple robe, stood up, his hair bristling, and looked towards the outskirts of the city.
"Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, without this old man's permission, who can mobilize the power of Heavenly Tribulation?"
He took a step, transforming into a rainbow-like flash of lightning and disappearing... On the other side, in the dilapidated temple on the outskirts.
"The Heavenly Tribulation with three lightning patterns should be my current limit of endurance."
"Now it's already two patterns..."
Ying Bing was amidst the devouring lightning.
Enduring immense pain, her thoughts were not affected in the slightest. She even noticed that after the dilapidated temple collapsed, a hidden entrance to an underground palace was revealed.
It was not unusual for a temple to have an underground palace.
She held the Tai Bai Sword and once again activated the Jie Shen Jade, causing three lightning patterns to light up on it.
She planned to temper her Physical Body first, then go check it out.
But suddenly.
Ying Bing's heart skipped a beat.
In the underground palace, she distinctly felt a familiar Sword Intent.
The Celestial Human Divine Sword... But the Celestial Human Divine Sword was clearly on him!
"..."
Ying Bing pursed her lips.
At this moment, even more terrifying lightning, faintly tinged with golden threads, roared down like a Heavenly Punishment Dragon.
But she didn't hesitate for a moment, making her choice instantly.
Wielding the Tai Bai Sword, she transformed into a beam of Sword Light, rushing into the underground palace at a speed that transcended the Void Realm...
In the grotto, every inch of flesh and blood had come alive, like a jungle formed of flesh and blood, also emitting an inexplicable medicinal fragrance.
"God Hammer Little Overlord, you should just stick to using a hammer, shouldn't you?"
"Throwing away the hammer to use a sword, isn't that just seeking death?"
"Hahahahaha..."
The old man's laughter from earlier came from all directions.
With his laughter, the jungle of flesh and blood fell into a frenzy. One by one, blood gourds crawled up from the ground, each in the likeness of the old man, some young, some old.
The power of the Outer Scenery was already inhuman.
If it were unleashed outside, it would be enough to cause a natural disaster.
Swish—
A few strands of hair fell, transforming into an identical Li Mo, who began to fight with the old man's Incarnation.
The Celestial Human Divine Sword was incomparably sharp; wherever its Sword Light reached, everything was split in two.
However, it did not harm the old man's foundation.
"Why hasn't the Divine Constable arrived yet? Could it be that he didn't receive the message?"
Li Mo was still not in a hurry, displaying the sword techniques he had recently learned, one by one, with flowing grace. freewёbnoνel.com
And he continuously blended and refined them following the path of the Dugu Nine Swords.
He seemed to be in a precarious situation, but in reality, he was as steady as an old dog, even refining his sword techniques.
At worst, if he couldn't win, he would just dive into the Small World. If this old man dared to pursue him into the Small World... then a Heavenly Venerate would be waiting for him!
Li Mo sighed softly, "If this sword were in Ice Cube's hands, she could probably directly break through the Outer Scenery before us."
"Hehehehe, at this moment, you're still thinking about someone else? It seems..."
"After all, this old geezer is barely clinging to life; even the Outer Scenery doesn't belong to him. In the Outer Scenery, he's at most a stubborn Bronze."
"..."
The old man's laughter abruptly stopped.
He was getting agitated.
"I'll f***ing kill you!"
At the same time, countless flesh-and-blood mountain walls squeezed in, becoming tighter and tighter.
Li Mo was already planning to return to the Small World.
The old man was also planning to digest him.
Just then.
Rumble—
Was it thundering?
No, this grotto was about a hundred meters underground; the probability of hearing thunder was akin to seeing a ghost.
The old man noticed something was wrong and his face changed.
Li Mo also noticed something was wrong; the Celestial Human Divine Sword in his hand trembled incessantly, like a girl who had been alone in her chambers for ten years, seeing her lover return home...
Amidst the lightning, a fleeting shadow, riding a sword, descended. In the Heavenly Tribulation, she extended a fair hand and grasped the Celestial Human Divine Sword.
Her black hair danced wildly, her skin was like ice and bones like jade. The sharpness in her clear eyes made the lightning dim in comparison. At this moment, Heavenly Punishment seemed to be under her command, willing to chastise any defiance for her, her cold divinity clearly revealed.
She saw Xiao Li, and after realizing he was unharmed, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the indifferent divinity faded from her eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"I got lost."
