116: Slash the abyss! A sword strike that astonishes the world!
Stone Yifan looked at Ye Hangzhou, Yue Xiyan, and Li Shengyuan, who had surrounded him and his companion, his expression somewhat uncertain.
He could also see that the Son of Heaven Sword beside Li Shengyuan had consumed a lot of its power, but it was still not something he could withstand.
Although Li Shengyuan's blood-soaked appearance seemed somewhat disheveled, the murderous aura he exuded sent shivers down one's spine.
Stone Yifan always felt that Li Shengyuan's gaze towards him was strange, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Can't you give us a way out?!"
Li Shengyuan immediately laughed, looking at him teasingly and saying, "Palace Master Shi, you've cultivated to this level, don't be so naive and funny, okay?!"
"I had no choice before; as a Palace Master, I could only use any means to make the sect stronger. Now that Giant Spirit Hall is gone, I want to be a good person. Lord Li, please give me a chance!"
Stone Yifan looked at Li Shengyuan with a sincere expression, then continued, "As long as you give me a chance, I'll do anything. I'll follow Lord Li from now on!"
The Deputy Hall Master, who was standing beside him, also nodded repeatedly, afraid that if he was a step slower, he would be instantly killed by Li Shengyuan...
To be honest, having two Three-Rank powerhouses as personal bodyguards was very appealing. How many people in this world had such treatment?
Yue Xiyan, as the Palace Master of Yuehua Palace, did not interrupt, but instead looked at Li Shengyuan with calm eyes. At this moment, Li Shengyuan was no longer just a person with the identity of an Imperial Envoy in her eyes; the strength he displayed earned her respect!
But Li Shengyuan smiled slightly, shaking his head and saying, "I'm sorry, I am a Demon Suppression Envoy..."
"Since you've colluded with the Demonic Cult, you can only die. Even if I agree to spare your lives, the various sects in the Northern Region will not agree!"
Stone Yifan's face darkened. He hadn't expected Li Shengyuan to be so resolute even after he had softened his stance so much.
"In that case... let's split up and escape!"
Before Stone Yifan finished speaking, he had already burst out, charging towards Ye Hangzhou's direction. In his opinion, among the three, Ye Hangzhou should be the easiest to deal with...
The Deputy Hall Master was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, also surprised by Stone Yifan's decisiveness, but he reacted quickly and immediately broke out in the opposite direction.
And he was facing Yue Xiyan, who currently had the strongest hard power among the three. Even so, he could only grit his teeth and charge.
Dispersing to break through was indeed the best method...
Neither of them had even considered facing Li Shengyuan, who wielded the Son of Heaven Sword. He seemed the weakest, but in reality, he was the most abnormal!
Yue Xiyan's expression turned cold upon seeing this, and she raised the long sword in her hand, swinging it towards the Deputy Hall Master.
At this moment, Li Shengyuan's light chuckle came from beside her.
"Palace Master Yue, please step back first. Let me try!"
Yue Xiyan was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Shengyuan, who had instantly cut through the air with the Son of Heaven Sword and appeared before her. Although she had some doubts about how much strength he had left, she still nodded and took a few steps back. With the Son of Heaven Sword in hand, dealing with a Deputy Hall Master shouldn't be a big problem.
The Deputy Hall Master's face immediately changed drastically upon seeing this, cursing inwardly. What he feared most was Li Shengyuan coming to kill him with the Son of Heaven Sword, and he hadn't expected to be the one to 'win the lottery'.
On the other side, Stone Yifan's expression brightened. As long as he wasn't facing the Son of Heaven Sword, his chances of escape would be greater!
However, in the next instant, Stone Yifan's eyes suddenly widened.
Li Shengyuan actually threw the Son of Heaven Sword in his direction!
This scene instantly made Stone Yifan's soul leave his body. How could he still be feigning a move to the east while attacking the west?!
As the saying goes, people's joys and sorrows are not the same. The Deputy Hall Master, who had originally intended to fight to the death, saw Li Shengyuan actually throw the Son of Heaven Sword away and immediately beamed with joy!
Li Shengyuan's strength was very strong, but how much power could he have left in his current state? As long as he was captured, everything would not be a problem!
The chance to live had come!
Everyone was also stunned by Li Shengyuan's actions.
Yue Xiyan's expression changed slightly, and she was about to step forward to replace Li Shengyuan, but then she saw him calmly take out his saber and begin to gather strength!
Since he was going to trigger Silk-Blood Counter-Kill, he definitely couldn't hold the Son of Heaven Sword. That thing was too strong; he wouldn't even need to exert himself for the opponent to be gone...
The best way was to chop him with his own saber, Chop Abyss!
And he had absorbed a lot of luck, so the probability of triggering Silk-Blood Counter-Kill should also increase a lot, right?
The Deputy Hall Master also unleashed the fastest speed of his life at this moment, rushing towards Li Shengyuan before Yue Xiyan, grinning ferociously, "You're courting death, kid! Without the Son of Heaven Sword, you still dare to act arrogant in front of this lord!"
In the blink of an eye, the Deputy Hall Master was already in front of him, reaching out a hand larger than Li Shengyuan's head to grab him!
At this moment, everyone's faces changed drastically, and their hearts were in their throats.
Shen Xinrong, Yue Qingmeng, and Princess Pingyang, the three women, were even more terrified, their faces losing all color.
Li Shengyuan, in a stance as if drawing his saber, inexplicably showed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, then his expression turned cold. Looking at the Deputy Hall Master who was within arm's reach, he roared and drew his saber!
"Chop Abyss!"
In an instant, a brilliant saber light appeared before everyone's eyes, and then they all fell into a daze.
The ferocious grin on the Deputy Hall Master's face froze, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"You... how could you..."
Before he could finish speaking, his words abruptly stopped. The Deputy Hall Master's entire body was directly split in half by Li Shengyuan's single strike!
The body, split in two, plummeted rapidly from high in the sky.
Yue Xiyan, who had been amazed by Li Shengyuan's strike, suddenly came back to her senses and went to block the falling body of the Deputy Hall Master. Then, she used a secret technique to bind him, preventing his physical body from recovering due to its strong vitality.
Everyone on the distant battleship stared blankly at this scene, unable to recover for a long time.
This one strike amazed everyone!
Not only because of the power of this strike, but also because of Li Shengyuan's current state.
They could all sense that Li Shengyuan's current condition was not good; one could even say he was extremely weak, but they hadn't expected him to still be able to unleash such a terrifying strike.
Moreover, this strike did not use any external force!
Liu Zhen and Zhang Mang exchanged glances, both seeing confusion and doubt in each other's eyes.
Zhang Mang softly murmured, "This strike feels so familiar... It's as if I've seen it somewhere before..."
Liu Zhen's body suddenly trembled upon hearing this. He also remembered. The great battle in front of the Demon Suppression Division that night had left a very deep impression on him, only to be gradually replaced by today's events.
But Zhang Mang's words made him gradually superimpose the figures of Li Shengyuan and Demon Head Shura.
Liu Zhen's eyes widened as he said, "I remember!"
"Shengyuan's strike is very similar to the one Demon Head Shura used to cleave the Three-Rank Great Demon in front of the Demon Suppression Division that night!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhang Mang, reminded by him, also nodded repeatedly, then suspiciously said, "Could it be that..."
Liu Zhen, however, smacked him impatiently, "What are you thinking? It's just that they both used a drawing-saber stance. That Demon Head Shura was full of demonic energy; how could it be the same person?!"
"Even the saber used isn't right. The saber Demon Head Shura used was clearly not an ordinary item. How could such a weapon be easily obtained!"
"That's true..." Zhang Mang nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Li Shengyuan's body also swayed suddenly, his face ashen, and he directly fell from high in the sky.
But in the next instant, Li Shengyuan, with blurry vision, felt himself being embraced by someone...
