CHAPTER 443: CHAPTER 413: TOTAL VICTORY

Xuu Qingci’s communication slowly sounded.

"Fellow Daoist Zhiwei, was it the Profound Pure Jade Maiden Heart Scripture that you just performed?"

Xuu Qingci asked such a question, which made Lu Zhiwei feel surprised after hearing it, somewhat unexpected.

This Xuu Qingci could actually recognize the sword technique that she had just employed, and knew of the Profound Pure Jade Maiden Heart Scripture.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiwei still replied.

"Sect Leader Xuu has good eyesight, it was indeed the Profound Pure Jade Maiden Heart Scripture."

Upon receiving Lu Zhiwei’s affirmative answer, Xuu Qingci’s tone was slightly happy.

She couldn’t help but ask again, "Then, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu Zhiwei, do you know Fellow Daoist Zhao Hanyun?"

Zhao Hanyun, Lu Zhiwei pondered this person for a moment and recalled some past experiences related to her, so she replied, "Although I don’t know Elder Zhao, I was fortunate to receive her cultivation technique inheritance."

"This Profound Pure Jade Maiden Heart Scripture was obtained from Elder Zhao by coincidence."

Lu Zhiwei communicated.

"I see."

Xuu Qingci said.

And at this moment, Lu Zhiwei was very curious, what is the relationship between Xuu Qingci and Zhao Hanyun, and why is she asking about this now?

Xuu Qingci had a mentor-disciple relationship with Elder Jiang of the Nine Cold Mountain, having been Elder Jiang’s disciple, which wasn’t a secret within the Chu Kingdom, and many cultivators knew about this, and naturally, Lu Zhiwei had heard about it as well.

"Sect Leader Xuu, if you have any doubts, why don’t we discuss them in detail after the battle?"

"Now is not the time for us to talk."

Lu Zhiwei communicated a phrase, at this moment it was not very appropriate to be distracted by chatting with Xuu Qingci, and it was best to focus on dealing with the demon beasts in front of them first.

"Mm, alright."

Xuu Qingci replied softly, then controlled the Cold Moon Spirit Wheel to attack a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast.

Lu Zhiwei also took action, wielding the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword to strike at a Tier Two demon beast.

Among this group of demon beasts, four Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment demon beasts had already been slain by Lu Zhiwei, Lu Yuanshan, and Xuu Qingci, leaving one left, a Tree Demon, which Lu Yuanshan was currently focusing his attacks on.

The Tree Demon’s movement speed was far inferior to those Fox Demons and Tiger Demons, and with its large body size, it quickly became a target for numerous cultivators’ attacks.

Whether it was Qi Cultivators or the two Foundation Establishment Elders from Cold Moon Palace, all were using their divine techniques to launch fierce attacks on the Tree Demon.

For a while, the Tree Demon kept waving its tree trunk tentacles, blocking or deflecting the incoming Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts.

However, when facing Lu Yuanshan’s Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, the Tree Demon’s defense seemed rather weak.

Clang!

A brilliant blue treasure light burst forth, dreamy and illusory, instantly severing one of the Tree Demon’s tree trunk tentacles, spilling a large amount of green blood.

This was not the end; after severely injuring the Tree Demon with a single strike, Lu Yuanshan continued to control the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, changing its position in mid-air, then the entire flying sword dove directly at the Tree Demon, like a meteor falling.

At this speed, the Tree Demon waved its remaining dozen tentacles, instantly forming a defensive barrier in front of itself to block the attack.

Clang clang clang clang clang.

A series of Spiritual Artifacts, Cyan Bamboo Sword, Profound Moon Mirror, etc., all hit the Tree Demon’s defensive barrier, emitting a series of collision sounds, being blocked without harming the Tree Demon.

The Tree Demon’s defensive barrier was sufficient to withstand the attacks from mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as numerous Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts.

So much so that the attacks from those Qi Cultivators were nothing but a tickle to the Tree Demon, hardly worth mentioning.

But Lu Yuanshan’s attack was not so easily blocked.

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword jabbed down from the sky with astonishing speed, visible to the naked eye only as a brilliant blue glow.

Clang!

A muffled sound exploded, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword hit the Tree Demon’s defensive barrier, piercing it with a single thrust.

The Tree Demon’s defensive barrier shattered instantly like glass.

Seeing this, the Tree Demon was undoubtedly shocked, if it could show human expressions.

At this time, the residual power of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was still present and not weak.

This Lifebound Flying Sword, in the next moment, directly pierced towards the Tree Demon.

The Tree Demon, with its massive body and limited movement speed, having chosen to use a defensive barrier to resist, at this moment, facing such a close-range flying sword, couldn’t possibly dodge it.

Puff.

With one thrust, the Tree Demon’s body was brutally pierced through, and a large amount of Ancient Sword Qi wildly surged within it, causing it to howl repeatedly.

This one sword strike took away most of the Tree Demon’s life force.

The other cultivators, seeing the power of Lu Yuanshan’s sword, exclaimed in wonder while quickly reacting, immediately controlling their respective artifacts to bombard the Tree Demon fiercely.

In no time, numerous artifacts filled the sky, all striking towards the Tree Demon.

The Tree Demon, having already lost its defensive power, had its life force rapidly draining, quickly becoming a lamb to the slaughter, brutally hit by many artifacts, soon becoming tattered and torn.

Under the collective attack, this Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment Tree Demon was basically marked for death.

Lu Yuanshan wielded the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, executing the Heavenly Line sword technique from the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, slashing diagonally, splitting the Tree Demon in two.

The Tree Demon’s massive body was divided, collapsing with a thunderous crash.

"Sect Leader Lu, impressive skills."

Not far away, Zhao Wanling was dealing with a Foundation Establishment early-stage demon beast, and after seeing Lu Yuanshan slay the Tree Demon, couldn’t help but communicate his admiration.

This young, seemingly gentle Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect, appeared to have only an eighth-layer Foundation Establishment strength on the surface, yet when taking action, his strength was anything but weak.

He had already single-handedly slain two Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment demon beasts.

At this point, the group of demon beasts had seen their four Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment beasts slain one and all.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zhao over-praises."

Lu Yuanshan laughed and communicated back, being extremely humble regarding Zhao Wanling’s praise.

The subsequent demon-beast-clearing action was without difficulty.

Lu Yuanshan along with Lu Zhiwei and Xuu Qingci, all three could handle peak Foundation Establishment demon beasts without issue, posing no threat to them, so the remaining ordinary Foundation Establishment-stage demon beasts were no match at all.

Lu Yuanshan and the six Foundation Establishment cultivators first jointly dealt with the remaining Foundation Establishment demon beasts, slaying them one by one, and subsequently conducted a wide-range clearing of Tier One demon beasts.

The rest, Song Minghui, Lin Han, Li Daoxuan, and others, though only at the Qi Cultivation Stage in strength, could easily handle slaying as long as they weren’t up against Foundation Establishment demon beasts.

Over an hour later, the group of demon beasts that had been active in Pingyao Town was completely cleared by everyone.
