535: A Sword That Shocks the World

Zhao Yuxian's expression was somewhat unsightly as he stared fixedly at Li Lie; he naturally did not believe such words.

Li Lie could subdue other forces, but it was absolutely impossible for him to spare the Shangyun Sect. This was because Zhao Yuxian had a very high probability of breaking through to the Immortal Lord Realm, and it wouldn't take much time at all.

How could Li Lie allow a neighbor to become a powerful enemy? Therefore, he would certainly kill Zhao Yuxian before he could achieve a Breakthrough.

Moreover, since Li Lie had already come to their doorstep, there was no longer any possibility of a peaceful resolution; essentially, it would only end when one side was dead.

Originally, Zhao Yuxian could not have defeated Li Lie at the Immortal Lord Realm. Now that Li Lie had brought along two powerful Immortal King Cultivators, plus the experts of the Lietian Sect itself, Zhao Yuxian was even less of a match.

"I wonder if that person will come to help."

Zhao Yuxian had already sent a message to Tongtian, but there had been no response yet. He was very worried that Tongtian simply wouldn't come to help.

Inside the Shangyun Sect, countless people saw the enemies outside, and their Faces filled with terror one by one.

"What should we do? Maybe we should just submit to the Lietian Sect. It's the law of the jungle; there's nothing shameful about it."

"Shut up! The Shangyun Sect has been as kind as a mountain to us, teaching us Cultivation Techniques and giving us cultivation resources. It's not your place to make decisions."

"You sure are noble. Sect Master Lieyun has broken through to Immortal Lord and now wants to destroy us. Is our Shangyun Sect supposed to just sit and wait for death? Our Sect has no Immortal Lord Cultivator; how can we compete with the Lietian Sect?"

The sounds of arguing rose continuously. Some were loyal and devoted, while others were extremely anxious. If not for Zhao Yuxian standing at the front, they would likely have defected to the Lietian Sect on the spot.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, benevolence, righteousness, and morality were all nonsense.

Only surviving for oneself was the most important thing.

For the sake of staying alive, who cared about Face anymore? Who cared about morality?

Hearing the discussions of the Disciples behind him, Zhao Yuxian's Face became even more unsightly. As members of the Sect, at a time of crisis like this, they weren't thinking about how to solve the crisis, but rather how to defect to others.

He waved his hand, and several Flying Swords immediately flew out from his sleeves, killing those who had just spoken of surrendering.

In an instant, the originally noisy Sect became deathly silent.

"Anyone who dares to say such things again will be executed without mercy!"

Zhao Yuxian's cold voice rang out. He knew very well that there would certainly be vermin within a Sect, but to say those things at a time like this was simply malicious.

They deserved to be killed!

"Old Ancestor, what should we do?"

The Grand Elder of the Shangyun Sect stepped forward, his Face full of worry and panic.

As an Elder of the Sect, it was almost impossible for him to survive. Even if Li Lie didn't exterminate everyone in the Shangyun Sect, core personnel like them would definitely not escape.

So they could only place their hopes on the Old Ancestor.

The Shangyun Sect Master also looked at Zhao Yuxian with extreme nervousness. He had actually anticipated the Sect encountering such a situation, but there seemed to be no way to solve it.

Unless the Old Ancestor broke through to the Immortal Lord Realm, but that was clearly impossible.

All the core figures of the Shangyun Sect looked toward Zhao Yuxian. They certainly had no ideas and could only place all their hopes on him.

Seeing that Zhao Yuxian didn't speak, Li Lie's expression immediately turned cold: "Stubborn and foolish. Today, this Immortal Lord shall break this protective Sect Formation."

He raised his hand and summoned his Lifebound Treasure, the Zhentian Bowl.

The Zhentian Bowl floated high into the sky and then rapidly grew larger. Terrifying power radiated from within like overwhelming waves, sounding like the beating of heavy drums, making heaven and earth tremble incessantly.

The already tottering Sect Formation immediately began to fluctuate wildly.

This Zhentian Bowl possessed extremely terrifying power. With just one strike, it nearly shattered the Sect Formation completely. Li Lie was in no hurry; he knew that the Shangyun Sect was doomed today, so he would slowly surround and kill them.

The Shangyun Sect had, after all, been passed down for so long; there was no telling what Move they might use in a desperate situation. He had only just reached the Immortal Lord Realm and had not yet fully mastered his strength; it wouldn't be worth it if he failed in an easy task.

Li Lie had also lived for many years and knew that good things take time; he couldn't be too impatient.

Seeing the Sect Formation on the verge of breaking, Zhao Yuxian hurriedly led a group of high-level members of the Sect to channel immortal power into the Formation to maintain its operation.

This Formation had been refined by Zhao Yuxian countless years ago at a huge cost, and it could withstand ordinary Immortal Lord Cultivators. This was his greatest reliance; if the Formation were broken, he could only fight to the death.

Zhao Yuxian's Face was full of determination. During these days, he had comprehended the Sword Intent within his Sea of Consciousness, and his strength had grown. Coupled with the fact that he was already at the Peak of the Immortal King Realm, he might not necessarily be unable to fight Li Lie when the time came.

Even if he couldn't win in the end, he would definitely not make it easy for Li Lie.

With this thought, Zhao Yuxian's entire body surged with Sword Intent, like a peerless sword, strikingly dazzling.

The sword he cultivated was one of charging forward, of cutting down all enemies that stood in his way.

Therefore, Zhao Yuxian was not afraid!

"When the Formation breaks, everyone... follow me and kill!"

Zhao Yuxian's voice was cold and steady. Hearing this, the emotions of the Elders, who were originally filled with fear, changed slightly.

Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone humans. Pushed to this point, they would certainly fight back desperately.

Li Lie once again used the Zhentian Bowl to attack. The violent vibrations caused ripples to appear in the Void Realm, spreading out into the surroundings. From a distance, the Void Realm looked like ocean waves.

The two Sect Masters beside him also took action one after another, using their methods to attack the Formation.

"Bang!"

The Shangyun Sect's protective Sect Formation finally couldn't hold out any longer. It shattered under several attacks, turning into bits of starlight and dissipating.

Just as the Formation broke, a world-shocking sword appeared before everyone.

Li Lie was startled at first, but he immediately adjusted. He sneered, "Seeking death!"

The Zhentian Bowl struck directly downward, colliding with that Sword Intent.

However, to everyone's surprise, tiny cracks actually appeared on the Zhentian Bowl. The expected scenario of an Immortal Lord crushing a Peak Immortal King did not occur.

Li Lie narrowed his eyes. A Sword Cultivator was indeed a Sword Cultivator; their strength was truly formidable.

The reason he was so careful was also because Zhao Yuxian was a Sword Cultivator.

Everyone knew that Sword Cultivators were the pinnacle of offensive power and were extremely terrifying. Although Zhao Yuxian only had the strength of a Peak Immortal King, his power was certainly close to that of an Immortal Lord.

If he wasn't careful, he might even be injured by Zhao Yuxian.

Li Lie put away his Zhentian Bowl. This Magic Treasure was of the Immortal King grade from before; he hadn't had time to refine it since breaking through to Immortal Lord.

Then, his entire body emitted a dazzling purple light. The main Cultivation Technique he practiced was of the fire attribute, a fifth-grade Immortal Rank technique.

The Three Thousand Heaven-Refining Tactics!

Terrifying flames immediately swept toward Li Lie. The Void Realm seemed unable to withstand the high temperature, beginning to boil like the surface of water, with small bubbles popping up...
