181: Chapter 181 I Will Slaughter a Saint!

The Tiangang Sect's Sect-protecting Formation, passed down for ten thousand years and refined over so many years, had already reached the Peak of Heaven-Grade, existing as something infinitely close to a Saint Array.

With several Elders presiding over it, once activated, it could even trap a Saint for a time.

And the Ancestral Master's Legacy item was the Tiangang Sect's final trump card.

It was a terrifying evil sword with immense power, though every time it was used, a great price had to be paid.

These two things were the Foundation of the Tiangang Sect's ten-thousand-year existence, and they had never been used simultaneously.

Now, Sect Leader Li Tianxiao was going to risk it all!

"Sect Leader! You cannot! Once the Mountain Protection Array is activated, it will consume at least a century's worth of accumulated Spirit Stone!"

"The Ancestral Master's Legacy item is used less each time it is deployed; this is our Tiangang Sect's final trump card!"

"Sect Leader, think twice!"

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao waved his hand, cutting off the Elders' attempts to dissuade him.

"Think twice? They have already fought their way to our doorstep; how else am I supposed to think twice?"

He turned his head to look at Great Elder Yun Zhongzi, his eyes filled with madness.

"Great Elder Yun Zhongzi, even if the Tiangang Sect exhausts all its heritage today, I will make you pay the price!"

Before the words had even faded, he formed seals with both hands, and mysterious, complex runes poured from his fingertips, sinking into the ground beneath his feet.

"Rumble— —"

The entire Tiangang Sect was shaking violently!

The earth cracked, and bottomless fissures spread out like a spiderweb, with gravel flying and dust filling the air.

At the Peaks of the mountains, those towering palaces began to glow.

Not with spiritual light, but with blood-red light.

A dark red light surged from the Foundations of every palace, viscous like fresh blood, emitting a nauseating, fishy-sweet scent.

The light intertwined, condensing into a massive, blood-colored barrier above the Tiangang Sect.

On the surface of the barrier, countless hideous faces churned and roared, emitting silent cries of sorrow, as if countless vengeful spirits were imprisoned within.

"Tiangang Demon-Subduing Formation!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi frowned slightly, a trace of gravity flashing in his eyes.

The Tiangang Demon-Subduing Formation was originally the Tiangang Sect's Sect-protecting Formation passed down for ten thousand years, and its power was sufficient to trap any existence below the Saint Realm.

But at this moment, Sect Leader Li Tianxiao and over a dozen Elders of the Tiangang Sect were joining forces, using their Qi and blood as a catalyst to activate the Formation, making its power far superior to usual!

"Great Elder Yun Zhongzi!" Sect Leader Li Tianxiao stood in the center of the Formation, bathed in blood, his eyes filled with madness. "Do you think that just because you have become a Saint, you can run wild in my Tiangang Sect? Today, I will ensure you never leave!"

Before the words had even finished, he waved his hand.

The blood-colored barrier suddenly erupted with blinding blood-red light, and streaks of blood-colored runes shot out from it, transforming into countless blood-colored chains that coiled toward Great Elder Yun Zhongzi!

Wherever the chains passed, the air was corroded, emitting a "hissing" sound and leaving behind trails of pitch-black marks.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand and struck with a palm.

The palm wind roared, and the Saint Realm spiritual power transformed into a golden ribbon, colliding violently with those blood-colored chains!

"Boom— —!"

An earth-shattering roar exploded!

The storm of spiritual power swept in all directions, shattering those blood-colored chains inch by inch, causing them to dissipate into a sky full of blood mist.

But soon, more chains poured out from the barrier, covering the sky and earth, dense and endless!

"It's useless!" Sect Leader Li Tianxiao roared hoarsely. "The Formation uses the earth's veins as its Foundation and blood souls as a catalyst. As long as the earth's veins are not destroyed and the blood souls are not extinguished, the chains will never cease! Even if you are a Saint, I can exhaust you to death!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi frowned deeply.

He could feel that although these chains could not hurt him, every time he shattered one, it consumed a sliver of his spiritual power.

Little by little, if this continued, his spiritual power would eventually be exhausted.

"As expected of a large Sect with a Legacy of ten thousand years; it has some substance."

A lazy voice came from behind him.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi shuddered and turned around abruptly.

He saw Shen Qingyuan with his hands tucked into his sleeves, walking out of the valley lazily, his pace unhurried.

Those blood-colored chains, as soon as they approached within three feet of him, were like being seized by an invisible hand; they instantly solidified and then dissipated into blood mist.

"Senior!" Great Elder Yun Zhongzi felt a bit ashamed; he had not expected that even after becoming a Saint, he still could not deal with the Tiangang Sect.

Shen Qingyuan glanced at the blood-colored barrier above, then looked at Sect Leader Li Tianxiao standing in the center of the Formation, bathed in blood, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"A Heaven-Grade Peak Formation? It's lacking something."

He raised his right hand and flicked his slender finger gently in the Void Realm.

"Pop."

A soft sound, like a pebble falling into a lake.

That blood-colored barrier, which even a Saint would find a headache, cracked with a tiny fissure at the spot where Shen Qingyuan had flicked his finger.

The crack spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, diffusing in all directions like a spiderweb.

"Crack, crack, crack— —"

The cracking sounds became denser and louder.

In the blink of an eye, the entire blood-colored barrier was covered in dense cracks.

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao's pupils constricted, and his face turned pale instantly.

"No— —! Impossible!"

His voice was trembling.

The Tiangang Demon-Subduing Formation was their Tiangang Sect's trump card, passed down for ten thousand years!

Even if a Saint came, it would be impossible to break it with a casual gesture!

Yet this young man before him— —

"Boom— —!"

The blood-colored barrier exploded, dissipating into a sky full of blood mist.

The runes in the earth's veins flickered frantically, then dimmed one by one, and finally extinguished completely.

The Tiangang Sect's Mountain Protection Array, passed down for ten thousand years, was shattered just like that.

"Pfft— —"

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao sprayed a mouthful of blood, his whole body blasted backward by the backlash, slamming heavily into the palace wall behind him before sliding to the ground.

"Sect Leader!"

Several Elders rushed up to support him, frantically feeding him a Medicinal Pill to heal his injuries.

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao pushed the others away and struggled to stand up, staring fixedly at Shen Qingyuan, his eyes filled with horror.

"You... who are you?!"

Shen Qingyuan did not answer, merely standing lazily in place.

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao gritted his teeth, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Summon the Ancestral Master's Legacy item!"

"Sect Leader! That thing..." A white-haired Elder's voice was trembling. "That thing requires a great price to be paid every time it is used! You..."

"Shut up!" Sect Leader Li Tianxiao cut him off. "If we don't use the Ancestral Master's Legacy item, we will all die here today!"

He took a deep breath and pulled an dark-red token from his bosom.

The token was about the size of a palm, with a hideous ghost face carved on the front and a pattern of a blood-colored longsword on the back, emitting an eerie aura that made one's heart palpitate.

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood onto the token.

"Hum— —"

The token suddenly erupted with blinding blood-red light!

The blood-red light was as intense as blood, illuminating the entire Tiangang Sect!

A terrifying aura, extreme to the limit, permeated from the depths of the Tiangang Sect's ancestral grounds!

The aura was cold, tyrannical, and filled with killing intent, like an evil ghost crawling out of the Nine Nether Hell, making one's hair stand on end!

"Rumble— —"

Deep in the ancestral grounds, the ground cracked, and a blood-red beam of light shot into the sky!

Inside the beam of light, a longsword slowly rose.

The sword was three feet and three inches long, dark red in its entirety, and its body was covered with dense blood-red runes. Those runes moved like living things, emitting an eerie aura that made one's heart palpitate.

At the hilt, a fist-sized blood-colored crystal was inlaid, and inside the crystal, there were faintly countless vengeful spirits wailing and struggling.

Once the evil sword appeared, the temperature of the entire world seemed to drop by a few degrees.

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao reached out and grasped the hilt.

The next moment— —

His whole body stiffened, and his pupils constricted!

A terrifying suction force came from the sword, frantically devouring his essence blood and spiritual power!

His skin rapidly became withered, his hair turned from gray to snow-white, deep wrinkles appeared on his face, and his entire person aged at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Ah— —!"

Sect Leader Li Tianxiao let out a shrill scream, but he did not let go; instead, he gripped it even tighter.

"Slaughter a Saint... Today, I shall slaughter a Saint!"
