55: Lu Xueyao versus Xiao Fan!

Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Bai Miaozhen, standing beside Lu Xueyao, narrowed her beautiful eyes and carefully scrutinized Xiao Fan below.

Indeed, that ancient and weathered gaze, looking upon all living things as mere ants, was definitely not something a teenager could possess.

Moreover, this place was the location of the Blood River Ancestor's Seal, so it was entirely reasonable for a Possession to occur.

"Junior Sister Lu is right." Bai Miaozhen nodded and summoned a golden Flying Sword in her hand, its tip pointing directly at Xiao Fan.

"Devil Head, since we have encountered you, today shall be your death day.

Even if you have undergone Possession and Rebirth, your cultivation is now merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage. With so many of us here, do you think we would fear you?"

"Kill him, rid the people of this scourge, and we can completely eliminate the hidden danger."

The Disciples of the Yu Hua Immortal Sect summoned their Magic Treasures one after another, filled with Killing Intent.

Xiao Fan below heard this and was so angry he nearly vomited blood.

"Bullshit, Lu Xueyao, you are slandering me! I am Xiao Fan, I have not been subjected to Possession!" He roared angrily within his Sea of Consciousness.

However, it was Venerable Yao who was currently in control of the body.

Venerable Yao couldn't be bothered to explain such a misunderstanding.

In his view, these so-called Disciples of the Righteous Path were nothing more than a group of ants trying to snatch an Opportunity.

"You want this old man's life?"

Venerable Yao's lips curled into a scornful sneer, his voice hoarse and ancient.

"That will depend on whether you have the ability. Just as well, I have just finished warming up and haven't killed enough yet."

Once these words were spoken, it confirmed his identity as an old Devil Head.

"Arrogant."

Bai Miaozhen was furious. As a true Disciple of the Yu Hua Immortal Sect, when had she ever been looked down upon like this?

"Form the array, Profound Gold Sword Array."

Following her order, the seventeen Disciples of the Yu Hua Immortal Sect behind her acted in unison.

Eighteen golden Flying Swords shot into the sky, interweaving into a massive golden sword net in the air.

Countless strands of Geng Metal Sword Qi fell like raindrops, each one strong enough to pierce the defense of a Golden Core Stage Early Stage Cultivator.

This Profound Gold Sword Array was a joint attack technique of the Yu Hua Immortal Sect, possessing immense power.

Facing this sky full of sword rain, Venerable Yao did not retreat but advanced instead.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes flapping loudly.

"Tricks of a mere child."

He slowly extended a finger and tapped lightly toward the sky full of sword rain.

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger."

Boom!

The heavens and earth changed color.

In the Void Realm, a massive, ancient finger, fully a hundred zhang long, appeared out of thin air.

This finger was covered in the traces of time and weathered patterns, as if it had crossed space and time from the primordial wilderness, carrying a terrifying will to suppress the heavens and imprison the myriad worlds.

With a single point, the heavens and earth fell silent.

The sky-filling Geng Metal Sword Qi, before this finger, was as fragile as withered branches and fallen leaves, shattering instantly.

The massive finger did not slow down, carrying the momentum to crush everything, and pressed down fiercely toward Bai Miaozhen and the others.

"Not good."

Bai Miaozhen's expression changed drastically; she felt the threat of death.

The power of this finger had completely transcended the scope of the Foundation Establishment Stage, even touching the threshold of the Golden Core Stage.

Just at this critical moment.

A white figure blocked the path in front of everyone.

It was none other than Lu Xueyao.

Facing that giant finger that seemed capable of crushing mountains, her expression remained cold and aloof, without a hint of fear.

The ordinary iron longsword in her hand was slowly raised.

Her Nine Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart beat wildly at this moment.

Great Void Splitting Light Sword.

"Slash."

Lu Xueyao swung her sword.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a beam of sword light pure to the extreme.

But the moment this sword light flew out, it split into two, then into four, then into eight...

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into thousands of fine sword threads.

These sword threads wove into an impenetrable sword curtain, meeting the giant finger head-on.

Chi, chi, chi!

That seemingly invincible Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger was actually dismantled layer by layer under the cutting of these fine sword threads, finally dissipating into the sky as Spiritual Qi.

One sword, breaking the technique.

"What?"

Venerable Yao's pupils contracted suddenly, and for the first time, a trace of gravity and shock appeared in his eyes.

He stared fixedly at the young girl holding the ordinary iron longsword.

"Sword Intent reaching the divine... The power of this strike actually reached the level of the Golden Core Stage."

"What kind of freak is this girl?"

And Bai Miaozhen and the others standing behind Lu Xueyao were completely dumbfounded.

They knew Lu Xueyao was strong, but they hadn't expected her to be strong to this extent.

With cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage Early Stage, she had faced a powerhouse suspected to be an old Devil Head who had undergone Possession, not only without losing but even breaking the opponent's Divine Ability.

Lu Xueyao sheathed her sword and stood still. Although her aura was slightly chaotic, the Sword Intent in her eyes became even sharper.

She looked at Xiao Fan below and said coldly.

"Blood River Ancestor, your methods are nothing more than this."

Venerable Yao controlled Xiao Fan's body, and that face, originally slightly youthful, was now filled with ferocity and Killing Intent.

He knew very well that if he did not deal with this girl named Lu Xueyao today, let alone seizing the Opportunity, it would likely be a luxury to even escape unscathed.

"Little girl, your swordsmanship is indeed good, but you are ultimately only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and your foundation is too shallow. However, being able to force this old man to this point, you have enough to be proud of!"

Venerable Yao spoke grimly.

He thrust his left hand out suddenly, and in his palm, that previously dormant, eerie white flame suddenly surged.

It was the Nine Netherworld Dark Flame.

Under his full activation, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point, and even the Void Realm seemed to be frozen with fine ice crystals.

"Go."

Venerable Yao flicked his finger.

The Nine Netherworld Dark Flame transformed into an eerie white fire python, carrying a suffocating chill, opened its maw, and lunged to devour Lu Xueyao.

Facing this strike that would make even Golden Core Stage Cultivators tremble with fear, Lu Xueyao's expression remained as cold as water.

Her lips even curled into a faint trace of mockery.

"Revered Master is truly brilliant."

She thought to herself.

Long before entering this Fallen Demon Valley, Revered Master had granted her a protective trump card, stating that it would play a decisive role at a critical moment.

It seemed now that Revered Master had long since anticipated that this old Devil Head would have such a trick up his sleeve.

"Heavenly Flame, is it? I have one too."

Lu Xueyao gently raised her hand, and in her palm, a spark of flame, red as blood and carrying a crimson divine charm, appeared out of thin air.

The flame was weak at first, but the moment it appeared, the temperature above the entire Li Fire Spring suddenly rose.

Immediately after, a loud, high-pitched cry of a Phoenix, filled with sanctity and majesty, resounded through the heavens and earth.

Chirp!

Lu Xueyao pushed the flame in her hand forward.

Boom!

The spark of flame surged in the wind, instantly transforming into a phantom of a flaming Phoenix ready to spread its wings and fly.

This Phoenix was entirely condensed from pure Yang fire to the extreme, with the Profound Truth of Nirvana and Rebirth flowing over its wings; wherever it passed, the haze dissipated completely.

Phoenix True Fire.

This was the Origin True Fire that Lu Yuan had lent her; it was the most Yang and rigid object in the heavens and earth, naturally the nemesis of the Nine Netherworld Dark Flame.
