119: Life and death crisis, supreme tribulation
Jun Tianlin took the initiative to propose going to kill Chen Xuan.
Zhang Daozong and Han Chen naturally had no reason to disagree.
They knew full well the immense risks involved.
Therefore, they unleashed more powerful attacks towards Supreme Elder Ren Tianxing, going all out.
Supreme Elder Ren Tianxing watched Jun Tianlin leave the battlefield.
His heart was filled with anxiety.
However, facing the combined assault of two Cultivators of the same Realm who were clearly fighting with their lives, he simply could not free his hands.
Not only that, after several rounds of fierce battle,
the efficacy of the High Grade Spirit Exploding Pill was continuously weakening.
His strength began to decline imperceptibly.
He didn't know how long he could last.
"Jun Tianlin, how dare you!"
Do I dare?
After Jun Tianlin left, a hint of mockery appeared on his lips as he looked at Supreme Elder Ren Tianxing.
He thought to himself,
once he slays Chen Xuan,
he will help the others to also slay Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi and Gong Zhan.
At that time, with the combined power of twelve Returning Void Cultivators, they would slay Supreme Elder Ren Tianxing.
Chen Xuan had just exerted his strength, but he didn't expect to immediately attract Jun Tianlin's attention, who was now rushing towards him with a murderous intent.
Could it be that he wasn't afraid that he would unleash the same sword strike that killed Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan of the Kunwu Sect that day?
His expression remained unmoving, but Chen Xuan's heart was surging with turbulent waves.
His entire nervous system suddenly tensed up.
A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to his head.
The sense of crisis in his heart greatly intensified.
The strength he could exert now could only barely exceed the Early Stage of the Returning Void Realm.
He couldn't even compare to the Middle Stage of the Returning Void Realm, let alone the Late Stage of the Returning Void Realm.
This was already the strongest combat power he could unleash by using all his means.
"What to do?"
Chen Xuan feigned composure.
His longsword hung in the air, its tip pointing directly at Jun Tianlin, who had already arrived directly in front of him, standing proudly in the air.
He intended to intimidate him.
However, Jun Tianlin had clearly made a certain decision.
He first conjured a largely shattered bronze cauldron, suspending it above his head.
Then, he let out a fierce roar.
"Kill!"
As the battle cry fell, his Flying Sword suddenly shot out from his side, striking towards Chen Xuan with extreme speed.
The power of the Flying Sword was extremely terrifying.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan and Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi immediately unleashed their full power to resist the attack.
The lightning sword fell again.
Unfortunately, as the two swords clashed, Chen Xuan's Flying Sword was suddenly struck by a powerful force and sent flying, its body trembling uncontrollably.
If this Flying Sword's grade had not reached the High Grade Spirit Treasure level,
it would have likely shattered on the spot after enduring this blow, meeting a tragic end.
Even so, the Magical Artifact Flying Sword, which was connected to his mind and spiritual energy, was heavily damaged.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a sweetness in his throat.
He forcefully swallowed the blood that surged up, and then he immediately saw him forcefully stabilize the Flying Sword with his mind, and once again met the attack of the Flying Sword that was still coming at him and Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi with undiminished power.
However, the final result was...
He and Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi both spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The Magical Artifacts they controlled also had their spiritual energy dissipated, becoming dim and lusterless, clearly having suffered heavy damage again.
A Cultivator of the Late Stage of the Returning Void Realm.
They were absolutely not capable of contending with him.
A look of unwillingness and despair couldn't help but appear in Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi's eyes.
He turned his head to look at the other two battle groups.
Supreme Elder Ren Tianxing and Gong Zhan were also being beaten back repeatedly.
All three battle groups had fallen into a disadvantage.
Perhaps, today would be the day their Blood Demon Sect lineage would be annihilated, and the three Grand Elders would perish.
"Holy Master, when will you return?"
Behind, Jiang Mingyue was in a great hurry, and she had been frantically urging the Ten Thousand Demon Illustrated Book.
However, in her perception, Teng Ge's location was still very far from here, at least half a day's journey away, so it was impossible to arrive in time for rescue.
The situation changed too quickly.
In her helplessness, Jiang Mingyue could only take out the protective jade charm that her older brother had given her before he left.
In this moment of crisis, the first person she thought of was her older brother Jiang Yun.
And she could only think of Jiang Yun.
If this charm was crushed, Jiang Yun would immediately appear by Jiang Mingyue's side, no matter where he was.
However, Jiang Mingyue recalled that three years ago, her older brother Jiang Yun's cultivation Realm was only in the Golden Core Realm.
Even if his cultivation speed was fast, comparable to or even surpassing an Old Ancestor,
he would at most be in the Soul Transformation Realm now, right?
Even if Jiang Yun came,
what outcome could he change?
It would simply be an unnecessary loss of another life.
Thinking this, she ultimately chose not to crush the jade charm in her hand, but instead continued to urge Teng Ge through the Ten Thousand Demon Illustrated Book.
"Old snake! Faster, even faster!"
North of the Northern Wilderness, a figure was rapidly flying south.
It was Teng Ge, returning from hunting demons in the North Sea.
Jiang Mingyue's urgent calls constantly flickered on his Primordial Spirit.
His heart was also extremely flustered.
Jiang Mingyue must not be in trouble!
If she died, he, as her servant, would definitely be finished as well.
"I'll risk it all! First, deal with the current trouble!"
Teng Ge's eyes hardened, and he immediately manifested his true form.
A hundred-zhang giant snake soared through the sky, and at the seventh inch of the giant snake, there was a pair of short, fleshy wings.
The fleshy wings flapped up and down.
Teng Ge's flying speed instantly increased several times.
He was still not satisfied with this, so he burned his vital essence to unleash even greater power to empower himself, and his flying speed once again surged.
"Half an hour!"
"Master, you must hold on! Just give this old servant another half an hour!"
A hundred-zhang giant snake soared above the Nine Heavens.
Many Cultivators in the Northern Wilderness saw its figure, and those with sharp eyes recognized it as the Teng Snake, a Divine Beast of the Yao Race recorded in ancient texts, immediately expressing great surprise and joy, and widely spreading the news that an ancient Divine Beast had appeared in the Northern Wilderness.
Teng Ge at this moment also couldn't care less about the risk of exposure.
He only wanted to reach his Master Jiang Mingyue's side as quickly as possible and protect her safety.
However, Teng Ge had only flown about a hundred thousand li.
A surprised voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Oh, I didn't expect that there would still be pure-blooded Divine Beasts, the Teng Snake clan, left in the Tianxuan World?"
Along with it came an incomparably powerful aura.
Teng Ge's body suddenly stopped.
His hundred-zhang snake body instinctively trembled violently.
This aura was boundless and vast, far stronger than even his Peak period.
The cultivation Realm of the newcomer was already self-evident.
"Supreme Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"
How could such a terrifying existence appear in the Northern Wilderness?
No matter how anxious Teng Ge was, he dared not make the slightest move now, after all, with the powerful strength of the owner of that voice, he could extinguish him with a raised hand.
Then, a venerable Daoist, holding a whisk and exuding Immortal Qi, arrived on auspicious seven-colored clouds, hovering twenty meters in front of Teng Ge.
His entire being was filled with an otherworldly transcendence.
And the profoundness of the Dao of nature was contained within him, hidden and unexpressed.
He was truly an Immortal descending to the mortal world.
"Little snake, this Venerable One happens to lack a mount. Are you willing to follow me in cultivation and pursue the Great Dao together?"
As soon as the Daoist finished speaking, a look of difficulty and struggle immediately appeared on Teng Ge's face.
A moment later, he opened his huge mouth and responded in human speech.
"Venerable One, please forgive me."
"Teng Ge already has a Master, and I dare not betray my Master!"
Upon hearing this, a look of curiosity immediately appeared on the Daoist's face.
To be able to subdue an ancient Divine Beast of the Yao Race, and one of the top existences among the many Divine Beasts, the Teng Snake clan.
Who exactly could it be?
He immediately performed a divination with his fingers.
After finishing, his expression drastically changed.
"Heaven's Mandate!"
