114: Chapter 114 Even the stunningly beautiful saintess is going to...?

Luo Qingcheng struck out in anger.

This sword strike held nothing back, nor was it a mere probe.

She pushed her primary cultivation technique, the Taiyi Ice Spirit Art, to its absolute limit.

Before the sword even arrived, the chilling Sword Qi had already completely sealed off the space for several yards around Cao Kun.

The blade hummed clearly, sounding like a dragon's roar, as it pierced straight toward the center of Cao Kun's forehead.

"Slay the Devil Head! Protect the Saintess!"

Seeing this, over a dozen elite Disciples of the Taiyi Dao Sect were greatly invigorated.

They summoned their Flying Swords and Magic Treasures one after another, shouting slogans about exorcising demons and defending the Dao.

Following closely behind Luo Qingcheng, they flanked Cao Kun from both sides to kill him.

For a moment, spiritual light flared brilliantly across the plains.

The multicolored glow of various Magic Treasures wove together into a massive killing net.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing against metal echoed across the wasteland.

Luo Qingcheng's longsword, which carried an extremely cold Dao Charm...

...was caught steadily between two of Cao Kun's fingers.

How is this possible?

Luo Qingcheng was horrified.

This 'Frost Abyss Sword' was an Earth Rank peak-grade Magic Treasure.

Coupled with her Innate Dao Body and the Taiyi Sword Art...

...even an Early stage of Spirit Severing Cultivator wouldn't dare to catch it with their bare hands!

How could this demonic Cultivator catch it with just two fingers?!

Luo Qingcheng surged the spiritual energy within her body, attempting to pull the longsword back.

But no matter how much force she exerted, the longsword remained unmovable.

"Is that all?"

Cao Kun gave a light chuckle, his eyes full of contempt.

With his index finger still holding the blade, he gave the side of the sword a gentle flick.

"Buzz!"

Grayish-black Chaos Qi surged out along the length of the blade.

It instantly shattered the Divine Sense that Luo Qingcheng had attached to the sword.

"Ugh!"

Luo Qingcheng let out a muffled groan as the longsword flew from her hand and embedded itself diagonally into a distant rock wall.

At the same time, that surging wave of energy spread outward indiscriminately.

The dozen or so Taiyi Dao Sect Disciples rushing forward bore the brunt of it.

They didn't even have time to take a defensive stance before they were hit head-on by the shockwave.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A dozen figures were sent flying dozens of yards away by the shockwave.

They crashed heavily to the ground, spitting blood, their wails merging into one.

Luo Qingcheng was also shaken by the counter-force, stumbling back over a dozen steps before she could force herself to stabilize.

Her eyes were filled with utter disbelief.

She was an Innate Dao Body!

A peerless Prodigy of the Taiyi Dao Sect, the likes of which was rarely seen in ten thousand years!

Usually, she was the one slaying opponents of a higher rank.

Today, she was actually repelled by a single finger from an Early Nascent Soul Stage demonic Cultivator?!

Before Luo Qingcheng could recover from her shock...

...Cao Kun's figure had already appeared in front of her.

"You—"

Luo Qingcheng turned pale with fright and tried to retreat.

But how could Cao Kun give her that chance?

*Whoosh.*

The white veil that could block Divine Sense probes was snatched away by Cao Kun.

Revealing the stunningly beautiful face beneath it.

Her skin was like congealed fat, her eyebrows like distant mountains. Her nose was high and straight, and her red lips were delicate and bright.

It was a pity that this face, which should have been cold and proud...

...was now filled with panic and confusion.

Cao Kun's gaze swept back and forth across her cheeks, her slender neck, and the curves hidden beneath her long dress.

Then, he brought the veil to his nose and took a sniff.

He deliberately put on an intoxicated expression.

"Tsk tsk."

"You truly are a beauty; you look much firmer than the average person."

"Your temper is a bit foul, but you'll be just right to take back as a bed-warming chambermaid."

"This Revered Master happens to like your wild and untamed type."

Hearing these words...

...Meng Yudie, who was watching from behind, immediately let out a giggle.

"Revered Master has such good taste."

"This Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect is usually so high and mighty; if we put a Jade beast ring on her too, that scene would surely be quite interesting."

Yun Xiyue stood to the side, her feelings complicated as she looked at Luo Qingcheng's face, which was flushed with shame and indignation.

Once upon a time, she had been just as proud as Luo Qingcheng.

But now, not only had she given her body to this demonic Cultivator, but even...

Yet, seeing someone else follow in her footsteps, she didn't feel much sympathy in her heart.

Instead, she felt a somewhat morbid, vengeful sense of satisfaction.

How dare you call me shameless?

Fine then, let you fall into the quagmire as well!

Let you also taste what it's like to be completely dominated by this devil!

Listening to these vulgar words and seeing the indifference in the eyes of her former peer...

...Luo Qingcheng's psychological defenses completely crumbled.

Since she began her cultivation, when had she ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?

Now, she was having her veil snatched away in public by a demonic Cultivator and being insulted with such crude and lewd language!

"You lecher! I want you dead!!"

Luo Qingcheng ignored the churning blood within her body.

While putting distance between herself and Cao Kun, her hands quickly formed hand seals before her chest.

As the seals were completed...

...all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the vicinity converged above her head.

"Taiyi Immortal-Slaying Sword Art!"

Accompanied by a delicate shout...

...the golden light filling the sky transformed into countless sharp Sword Qi, dense and numerous, blotting out the sun.

"Go!"

Luo Qingcheng waved her jade-like hand.

Those golden Sword Qi, carrying the power to annihilate everything, lunged toward Cao Kun to shred him apart.

Faced with such a grand and powerful killing move,

Yun Xiyue's expression changed drastically in the distance.

The power of this single sword strike had completely exceeded the scope of the Nascent Soul Stage!

She asked herself, if she were to face this move, she would probably only be able to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

The foundation of the Taiyi Dao Sect was indeed terrifying.

She was just about to call out to warn Cao Kun to dodge...

...only to see Cao Kun merely shake his head with some impatience.

This sword art looked imposing, but its power was too scattered.

In the face of absolute strength, it was just a flashy firework that was good for nothing.

Cao Kun didn't even bother to dodge; he just gave a casual wave of his hand.

A black great handprint, formed entirely of condensed Chaos Qi, appeared out of thin air,

and slapped toward that sky full of sword rain.

*Rumble!*

The black handprint crushed everything in its path.

The moment those sharp golden Sword Qi came into contact with the handprint...

...they were directly assimilated and swallowed by the Chaos Qi.

The surrounding Taiyi Dao Sect Disciples, who had just struggled to crawl up from the ground, were all dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at the golden light dissipating in mid-air.

Their minds were a complete blank.

The Saintess, whom they believed to be invincible...

...had unleashed the Sect's strongest killing move...

...and it was actually slapped away by the opponent with a casual wave of his hand?!

Just what kind of monster is this demonic Cultivator!

"Form the Formation! Quickly form the Taiyi Breaking Slaughter Formation!"

The Late Golden Core Stage Disciple leading the group was the first to react.

He roared in terror.

"Protect the Saintess!"

Hearing the roar, the remaining dozen or so Disciples snapped out of it like they were waking from a dream.

Enduring the intense pain in their bodies, they quickly shifted positions, attempting to form a Formation to resist Cao Kun.

Cao Kun frowned slightly.

Flies are just flies, constantly buzzing in one's ear; it's truly annoying.

"Noisy."

*Boom!*

Violent Chaos Qi centered on Cao Kun and spread outward along the ground in a circular ring.

The dozen or so Taiyi Dao Sect Disciples had just taken their positions, and before the Formation could even start running...

...the black shockwave had already rolled over them.

*Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!*

There wasn't even time for screams.

Upon contact with the Chaos Qi, these people exploded one after another.

Severed limbs and broken arms, accompanied by a rain of blood, pitter-pattered down onto the wasteland.

Luo Qingcheng's body went limp, and she slumped powerlessly to the ground.

She stared blankly at the scene before her, which looked like a Shura Hell.

She had completely lost the ability to think.

They were all dead.

The elites the Sect had spent countless resources to cultivate were, before this demonic Cultivator...

...unable to even get the chance to form a Formation.

Is this the method of a demonic Cultivator?

Why had Revered Master never told her that the world outside was so terrifying?

Just then,

some of the Chaos Qi Cao Kun had just released...

...dissipated toward that hundred-foot-tall bronze gate.

Upon sensing the Chaos Qi...

...the mottled verdigris on the gate's surface began to peel off rapidly.

The tightly closed bronze gate also began to slowly swing open to both sides automatically.

What followed...

...was an irresistible and terrifying suction force!

This suction force directly locked onto Cao Kun.

Along with him, Luo Qingcheng, Meng Yudie, and Yun Xiyue, who were closest to him, were also enveloped by this suction force.

"Opening the door to welcome guests already? How sensible."

Cao Kun felt the Aura behind the door that strongly resonated with the chaos remnant sword within him.

He didn't choose to resist at all.

He grabbed the dazed Luo Qingcheng by his side.

At the same time, he opened his arms and caught Meng Yudie and Yun Xiyue as they flew toward him.

"Let go of me! You devil! Let go of me!"

Luo Qingcheng struggled desperately.

Only to find that the spiritual energy within her body had already been sealed by Cao Kun.

"Now that you're in my palm, you still want to run?"

"Come! Follow this Revered Master inside!"

Accompanied by Cao Kun's unrestrained and arrogant laughter...

...the four of them were simultaneously swept into the bronze gate.

"Bang!"

As they were sucked in, the bronze gate closed once again.
