20: Chapter 20 The Holy Lord is enraged and banishes him to Tianyuan!

However...

Facing Zhou Qing's thunderous rage, Zhao Wuji and Liu Jingxian acted as if they hadn't heard a thing.

Their faces were ashen as they stared fixedly at Lin Yi within the light screen, their eyes boiling with killing intent.

"Holy Lord!"

"This boy has a ruthless Heart-Nature and acts with extreme malice!"

"If he is allowed to become the Saint, it will surely be a great calamity for our Heavenly Profound Holy Land!"

"Today, I shall clean out the sect on behalf of the Holy Land!"

Zhao Wuji's voice was cold and resolute.

With that, he and Liu Jingxian once again activated their Divine Thought.

They controlled those two giant hands of energy, lunging them fiercely toward Lin Yi.

Their goal was actually to do it in front of everyone.

To obliterate Lin Yi, this once-in-an-eternity Prodigy, on the spot!

"How dare you!"

Zhou Qing was completely enraged.

From his body, the terrifying pressure of a Peak Quasi-Emperor erupted as he prepared to intervene.

However, right at that moment.

A figure who had remained silent all along moved.

The Peak Master of the First Peak, Luo Qinghan!

She was seen slowly picking up the teacup before her, gently blowing on the floating tea leaves.

Then, under the nervous gaze of the other Peak Masters, she took a slow, methodical sip.

During the entire process, she didn't even lift her eyes to look at Zhao Wuji and Liu Jingxian.

It was as if their offensive was nothing more than children's play in her eyes.

It wasn't until the moment Zhou Qing was about to act that she finally set down her teacup.

Clearly, she had been testing and observing Zhou Qing's attitude!

"Heh!"

A cold, indifferent snort that contained endless mockery.

It came from Luo Qinghan's mouth.

This cold snort contained the power of her supreme Law as a Peak Quasi-Emperor.

Though the sound wasn't loud, it resonated clearly throughout the skies above the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

Inside the Secret Realm.

The two giant energy hands had already descended above Lin Yi's head.

They were about to crush this entire world.

The moment they came into contact with that cold snort, they actually came to a sudden halt.

Immediately after, before anyone could react.

A seemingly casual Sword Qi that contained endless Laws.

Soared into the sky from the direction of the Holy Lord's Hall!

It ignored the barriers of space and instantly slashed into the Secret Realm.

The Sword Qi crossed the sky, fast to the extreme.

So fast that even time seemed to freeze before it.

Squelch! Squelch!

Two soft sounds.

The two giant energy hands driven by Quasi-Emperors were like two pieces of fragile tofu.

They were instantly sliced clean through the middle by that Sword Qi.

Then they shattered with a bang, turning into a sky full of light specks and vanishing into nothingness.

One sword strike broke two Emperors!

The entire process was as calm as drifting clouds and light wind, elegant to the extreme.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Inside the Holy Lord's Hall.

Zhao Wuji and Liu Jingxian were struck as if by lightning, both spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Their faces instantly turned pale as paper, and their Auras withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Luo... Luo Qinghan!"

Zhao Wuji clutched his chest, looking at the peerless woman with a face full of horror.

He never would have imagined that despite both being Quasi-Emperors.

The other party's strength.

Had actually reached such a terrifying level!

A single strand of Sword Qi had shattered their combined strike.

It had even severely damaged their Divine Soul Origin!

The most frightening part was.

That Sword Qi didn't just shatter their Divine Ability.

It had even forcefully severed the Quasi-Emperor Dao Laws they had nurtured within their bodies for thousands of years!

This meant.

In this life, there was no longer any possibility for their cultivation to advance even an inch!

Luo Qinghan slowly stood up.

Those cold, beautiful Phoenix eyes finally fell upon the two of them.

"The Saint Trial is a competition between the younger generation; life and death are up to fate!"

"Is my Disciple someone the likes of you can touch?"

Her cold voice echoed throughout the hall.

"If anyone else dares to bully the weak with their seniority and break the rules."

"I shall slay them!"

As her voice fell.

An Aura billions of times more terrifying than the two giant hands from before.

Descended with a boom!

Under this pressure, Zhao Wuji and Liu Jingxian couldn't even stand steadily.

They were pressed directly to their knees on the ground, their Divine Souls wailing.

"Luo Qinghan! Don't be too presumptuous! Do you really think we're afraid of you!"

Zhao Wuji was still being stubborn.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Luo Qinghan's gaze turned cold, and she flicked her finger.

Another strand of Sword Qi condensed within the Void Realm once more.

The tip of the sword locked onto the space between Zhao Wuji's brows from afar.

The grim killing intent caused the temperature of the entire hall to drop abruptly.

"Enough!"

Right then, the Holy Lord Zhou Qing finally spoke.

He glanced at Luo Qinghan, who was fiercely protecting her own.

Then his majestic gaze swept over the two people kneeling on the ground.

"Zhao Wuji, Liu Jingxian!"

"As Peak Masters of the Holy Land, you two actually dared to openly interfere with the trial."

"You even intended to deal a killing blow to our Heavenly Profound Holy Land's Saint!"

"Do you admit your guilt?!"

Faced with Zhou Qing's questioning and Luo Qinghan's undisguised killing intent.

The two of them were finally afraid and prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Holy Lord! Peak Master Liu and I only acted out of necessity!"

"Lin Yi's strikes were too ruthless; he had already severely injured Xiao Fan, yet he still wouldn't stop!"

"Could it be that the Holy Land will just let him run wild!"

Afraid as he was, Zhao Wuji still felt somewhat indignant.

"Bastard!"

Zhou Qing's invincible Aura erupted completely as he shouted loudly:

"I already gave you a chance earlier! But you refused to repent!"

"In that case, don't blame me for being heartless!"

"Did you really think those dirty things you did behind my back could be hidden from me?!"

"Because of the disputes between the Disciples Lin Yi, Xiao Fan, and Liu Ruyan."

You conspired with Liu Jingxian and even attempted to target Peak Master Luo!"

"You attempted to disrupt my Heavenly Profound Holy Land!"

"Now, what else do you have to say?!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The expressions of Zhao Wuji and Liu Jingxian changed drastically; they were completely panicked.

The two of them had indeed privately planned how to target Luo Qinghan.

They were prepared to force her out of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

Who would have thought that none of this could be hidden from Zhou Qing.

"We admit our guilt! We beg the Holy Lord for punishment!"

Zhao Wuji and Liu Jingxian spoke together, their voices carrying a clear tremble.

They knew in their hearts that they would definitely not escape punishment today.

They only hoped that a better attitude in admitting their guilt could salvage something.

But could they truly withstand Zhou Qing's wrath?

"Men!"

Zhou Qing snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"Take these two rule-breaking things and send them to the Heavenly Abyss to guard against the alien races for five thousand years!"

"Within five thousand years, they are not to take a single step out of the Heavenly Abyss!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Zhao Wuji and Liu Jingxian's faces turned ashen.

With their Dao Foundations severed and then being sent to the Heavenly Abyss for five thousand years.

This life of theirs was completely ruined!

As the two were dragged away by the Law Enforcement Elders.

This storm caused by the Peak Masters' interference finally settled.

Tranquility returned to the hall once more.

Meanwhile, within the Secret Realm.

Xiao Fan and Liu Ruyan, who were originally full of joy.

Thinking they were saved once again.

The wild joy on their faces had already frozen.

Replaced by a despair that was countless times more intense than before...

Despair!
