376: Ling Canglan's killing intent

"What?!!"

"The Yaochi Holy Master, she's also a Great Saint!!"

"How is this possible?! When did she achieve her Breakthrough?!"

At this moment, everyone was stunned!

Including Ling Canglan and Ku Xuan, looks of disbelief appeared in their eyes!

Holy Mistress Ji Qingyi of Jade Pool had actually hidden such a terrifying cultivation!

However, what shocked them even more was Ji Qingyi's next move!

She didn't even look at the Emperor's Scripture right in front of her. Her figure turned into a moon-white brilliance, recklessly tearing through the Void Realm.

In an instant, she appeared before the destructive energy turbulence that was attacking Xiao Ruobai!

Raising her fair hand, the Taiyin Moonlight was like the Nine Heavens' Milky Way pouring down, turning into a crystal-clear yet indestructible lunar barrier, blocking the path between Xiao Ruobai and that energy turbulence!

"Boom—!!!"

The energy turbulence slammed violently against the lunar barrier, letting out a deafening roar!

The barrier shook violently. Ji Qingyi's delicate body trembled slightly, and her face turned pale, but she ultimately held firm and blocked this lethal attack!

The energy turbulence slowly dissipated.

The entire field was dead silent.

Everyone looked at the Yaochi Holy Master with extremely incredible and inquisitive gazes, seeing her risk exposing her hidden cultivation just to desperately protect the Battle Asura.

In the most inconspicuous corner of the crowd, Gu Changge, who had returned at some unknown time, watched this scene calmly.

At the very moment Ji Qingyi recklessly tore through the Void Realm and stood before Xiao Ruobai, a wisp of spiritual energy that had already gathered at his fingertips quietly dispersed.

A very faint trace of surprise flickered through his eyes.

"Oh?"

"She actually guessed the connection between Xiao Ruobai and me? Quite clever."

"I just didn't expect her to be so decisive."

On the other side, the three Old Ancestors of the Azure Profound Sect, who had previously jumped up in shock due to the loss of control of the energy and rushed over with all their might to rescue him, now barely managed to stop their footsteps.

They looked at each other, seeing a trace of lingering fear in each other's eyes.

"Had we known, we should have brought a few of those Puppets Changge gave us and blown this bastard up directly."

For a time, various speculations and discussions rose in low voices.

"Why did the Yaochi Holy Master save the Battle Asura?"

"She is actually a Great Saint too! And so urgent?"

"The Yaochi Holy Master has always been kind-hearted. She surely couldn't bear to see a Prodigy suffer an undeserved disaster?"

"Could there be some unknown relationship between the Yaochi Holy Land and the Battle Asura?"

A deep sense of disappointment flashed in the depths of the old monk Ku Xuan's eyes, but his face instantly shifted to an expression of shock.

Yaochi Holy Master Ji Qingyi slowly withdrew her palm, and the lunar barrier turned into specks of clear light and dissipated.

When her cold gaze swept over the old monk Ku Xuan, a flash of shock and anger passed through those eyes as deep as a cold pool.

It was immediately replaced by an extreme coldness and a realization that saw through everything.

Who was she?

She had been in charge of the Yaochi Holy Land for many years, weathered many storms; how meticulous was her mind?

The trajectory of that energy turbulence just now was too precise, happening to point at the Battle Asura. To say it was a pure coincidence would be too far-fetched!

This old bald donkey has such a vicious mind and such exquisite calculations!

She didn't say a word, nor did she look at that scroll of the Emperor's Scripture again.

The next moment, she moved!

"Buzz—!"

The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped to the freezing point!

The Taiyin Moonlight around Ji Qingyi's body erupted with unprecedented brilliance. A divine light of lunar radiance, condensed to the extreme, tore through the Void Realm. It was no longer attacking the Emperor's Scripture, but pointing directly at the center of the old monk Ku Xuan's brows!

This strike was without reservation, filled with killing intent!

"Hmm?!"

The old monk Ku Xuan's face instantly froze, filled with horror!

He never expected that Ji Qingyi would directly move to kill him!

He responded in haste, a phantom of a Nine-layered Vajra Pagoda emerging behind him to block this sudden strike.

Almost at the same time!

Ling Canglan's gaze locked onto Ku Xuan. That look was as if he weren't looking at a Great Saint of the same rank, but at a corpse about to be shattered!

Without any hesitation, a sharp Sword Qi arrived later but struck first, forming a perfect pincer movement with Ji Qingyi's lunar divine light, slashing fiercely toward Ku Xuan's path of retreat!

"You...!"

Ku Xuan was both shocked and angry, his heart full of bitterness!

He instantly understood that his calculations had been completely seen through by these two, but he couldn't understand why an attack aimed at the Battle Asura...

...would draw such a violent and synchronized joint siege from Ling Canglan and Ji Qingyi?

But there was obviously no time for careful thought now; the angry joint attack of two Great Saints of the same rank had arrived.

"Great Brahma Holy Palm! Invulnerability to All Laws!"

Ku Xuan roared, and the vast Buddha Power of the Late Stage of the Great Saint Realm erupted without reservation. He struck out with both palms, turning them into a sky full of golden Buddhist seals, like stars surrounding him, to meet the two great killing moves head-on!

"Boom, boom, boom—!!!"

The full-force clash of three Great Saints was several times more terrifying than any previous collision!

The destructive energy storm was like the Big Bang at the beginning of the Universe, turning the Void Realm in that area into Chaos. The Emperors Tomb Restriction emitted fluctuations, smoothing out the Void Realm once more!

"Pfft—!"

Ku Xuan fought one against two and responded in haste. A crack appeared in his Vajra Dharma Body, and he was sent flying back like a kite with a broken string!

How could the two of them be so strong when they joined forces?

Even as a Late Stage Great Saint, he felt a strong threat. Ku Xuan was horrified.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye!

From Ji Qingyi's sudden attack to Ling Canglan's pincer strike, to Ku Xuan's injury and retreat, it was so fast that no one could react!

The entire core area of the Emperors Tomb fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone watched this sudden and completely incomprehensible upheaval with wide eyes and slack jaws.

The Demon Lord of the Southern Domain, the Imperial Lord of Great Zhou, and other Holy Masters were first extremely shocked, then their eyes flickered as their thoughts raced.

"What's going on? Why did the Yaochi Holy Master and Ling Canglan suddenly join forces against that old monk?"

"Could it be that they want to join forces first to repel that old monk and then snatch the Emperor's Scripture!"

"That should be it. They are the only three in the Great Saint Realm here. It's only natural to first eliminate the person with the highest Realm!"

"But it's also strange. Look at the eyes of the Yaochi Holy Master and Ling Canglan as they look at that old monk; they are full of killing intent. Could it be that the old monk did something in secret that provoked both of them at the same time?"

At this moment, the most shocked ones were the two who had struck!

Ling Canglan's sword stance had been unleashed, but his heart suddenly tightened: "She's also going for the kill?"

Ji Qingyi's gaze also narrowed: "Why does he also have such killing intent?"

This momentary shock didn't stop their offensive; instead, it made a certain tacit killing intent suddenly resonate: Kill this scoundrel first!

The crowd speculated endlessly, but none dared to step forward to intervene.

In a fierce battle between three Great Saints, where two had clearly joined forces, interfering now was no different from seeking death!

As for Buddha Tuo Liao Chen and the others from the Western Regions Buddhist Sect, their faces were pale. They wanted to rescue him, but they were forced back by the terrifying pressure of the battle circle and simply couldn't get close!
