112: Fight to the death to protect the righteous

In that instant, Lin Ye felt as if his entire world had been completely frozen!

His Dao Seal, which had long reached the Treasure Body Realm and was as firm as a rock, let out a mournful "buzzing" sound under the terrifying pressure that transcended Realms and was almost a Law, as if it could no longer bear the strain!

His copper-wall-and-iron-fortress Physical Body, strong enough to withstand Earth Rank Magic Treasures, creaked and groaned, as if it would be utterly crushed into dust by this terrifying pressure at any moment!

It's over!

Lin Ye's heart instantly sank into an endless abyss!

He never expected that he would end his journey in such a... frustrating way!

However, just as the two terrifying giant hands, condensed from endless Devilish Qi, were about to touch Lin Ye's body—

"How dare you!!!"

A furious roar, filled with endless tragedy and towering rage, exploded like a sudden clap of thunder from the intense battlefield that had long been completely engulfed by demonic light and Sword Qi!

It was Su Changqing!

His figure, which had been so ethereal and immortal, instantly became disheveled, his hair standing on end! In his deep eyes, two clusters of brilliant golden flames ignited!

He looked at the young man who was simultaneously targeted by two Dharma Body Realm Demonic Path magnates, already trapped in a death trap!

He then glanced at his daughter, who was also confined in place by the terrifying pressure, her beautiful face, for the first time, showing endless despair and helplessness!

An indescribable sense of supreme responsibility, stemming from his Bloodline and Sect Legacy, and... towering rage, surged from the deepest part of his heart!

"How dare you lowly creatures... covet the future of my Qingyun Sect?!"

"Today, even if I have to sacrifice this old body, I will make sure you... never return!!!"

Boom!!!

An indescribable, terrifying Aura, filled with endless light and sacred Qi, erupted from his already slightly aged body!

His Dharma Body, which had long resonated with heaven and earth, at this moment, was like being doused with a barrel of boiling oil, burning wildly!

"Not good! He's going all out!"

The face of one of the Dharma Body Realm Early Stage Demonic Path magnates changed drastically! Without thinking, he tried to retreat!

But, it was already too late.

"Qingyun Transforms into Rainbow, Light Shines on Nine Heavens!"

A sword strike, descended!

"Pfft!"

The Dharma Body Realm Early Stage Demonic Path magnate didn't even have time to let out a scream, as his protective Devilish Qi, strong enough to resist everything, was instantly pierced through like paper!

He himself was like being directly hit by an ancient divine mountain that had crashed down from the Nine Heavens!

"Boom!"

His demonic body, along with his Dharma Body that had long merged with his Physical Body, was instantly... purified, evaporated, and annihilated by the extremely domineering golden sword light!

Vanished into thin air!

One strike!

It only took one strike!

A genuine Dharma Body Realm Demonic Path magnate was... utterly destroyed in both body and spirit!

And Su Changqing's Aura, instead of weakening in the slightest due to this earth-shattering strike, instead, ascended wildly... with an even more terrifying and domineering posture!

Dharma Body Realm Early Stage Peak!

Dharma Body Realm Middle Stage!

His cultivation had actually increased by a minor Realm in this short instant!

But this came at a price.

His dense black hair rapidly... turned white at a visible speed!

His once rosy face, as if all vitality had been drained from it, showed shocking... wrinkles!

He was burning his own life!

"Father!!!"

On the flying boat, Su Qingyue looked at her father, who had aged dozens of years in an instant, and let out a heart-wrenching scream! In her always cool eyes, for the first time, hot... tears welled up!

However, Su Changqing seemed not to have heard her.

He slowly turned around, his eyes, which had been full of majesty, now only held endless... determination to die!

His aged yet incredibly tall figure took a step, instantly crossing a distance of a thousand zhang, like an unshakeable divine mountain, firmly blocking Lin Ye's path!

Blocking the path of the arrogant Black Fiend Demon Venerable!

"Hmm?!"

"Burning your Dharma Body? Seeking death!" Black Fiend Demon Venerable's hoarse voice was full of cold mockery, "Su Changqing, I underestimated you. For the sake of a mere Disciple, you dare... to perish with me?"

"He is not a mere Disciple." Su Changqing slowly raised his hand, and on his ethereal and immortal face, a smile filled with endless pride and... relief appeared, "He is the... hope of my Qingyun Sect!"

"And... the person my daughter has set her eyes on!"

Boom!!!

At these words, not only Lin Ye, but even Su Qingyue in the distance, felt a great shock! Her beautiful face, which had been tear-streaked from grief, instantly flushed red!

"Good! What a hope!" Black Fiend Demon Venerable laughed in extreme anger, "Then today, I will first thoroughly crush you, old man! And then let you witness with your own eyes, how your hope... wails and despairs in my hands!"

"Kill!!!"

An endless Divine Might, powerful enough to completely sink this heaven and earth, like two black curtains pouring down from the Nine Hells, one left and one right, fiercely pressed down on that old figure, who appeared so small yet incredibly resolute before them!

"Fight!!!"

Su Changqing roared to the sky, his laughter filled with endless heroism and... tragedy!

He did not retreat in the slightest, instead, he actively met them!

His aged body, at this moment, seemed to transform into a brilliant sun, capable of completely igniting all the darkness in heaven and earth!

"Qingyun Shines Upon the World, All Laws Return to One!"

Rumble!!!

A battle of Dharma Body Realm experts, fierce enough to shake the entire Tiannan Dynasty, erupted... in a tragic manner!

Golden divine light and black Devilish Qi clashed and annihilated wildly above the Nine Heavens!

Every collision caused the entire world to tremble madly!

The mountains below collapsed and shattered in vast stretches like fragile sandboxes!

In the sky, terrifying spatial rifts were torn open, filled with endless destructive Qi!

This was the Divine Might of Dharma Body Realm experts!

On the flying boat, Lin Ye had long been shaken by the terrifying aftershocks of this world-destroying power, his blood and Qi surging!

But he gritted his teeth, not moving his gaze a single inch!

He just stared blankly, watching that resolute old back, still fighting to the death under the combined attack of two experts of the same Realm!

He could clearly feel that the flame of life within Su Changqing was rapidly... dimming at a visible speed!

He was using his own life to buy them that... last glimmer of hope!

An indescribable complex emotion, mixed with "gratitude," "guilt," and endless "anger," surged and collided wildly in his chest like molten lava!

"Power..."

"I need... stronger power!!!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms, and in his dark eyes, for the first time, an almost "pathological"... extreme desire for power appeared!
