Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 222: Life and Death
Above the nine heavens.
“It’s started, it’s started!”
Mo Xuyou was a little excited, and quickly took out an exotic fruit and put it in his mouth, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
In the Yujian Sect, Xu Ling slowly ascended into the air and stood in the sect protection formation. He bowed deeply to the woman and said, "Senior Shen, I wonder what brings you here?"
Xu Ling naturally recognized the woman who appeared above the Yu Jian Sect, but precisely because of this recognition, he felt even heavier in his heart.
Shen Danjun, who ranked third in the last Xuantian Yuanying List, has now become a deity!
The name of Shen Danjun has long been spread throughout the entire Xuantian Domain. He is even more known for his beauty, with a dagger hidden in his eyes, a heart of an eagle and claws of a goose, and a notorious reputation. Such a ruthless character coming to the Yu Jian Sect must be coming with bad intentions!
Shen Danjun glanced at Xu Ling calmly and said, "I'll give you two choices, Yu Jian Sect. Get out of here, Nine Swords, or I'll exterminate you. However, I don't think you will just go away so easily, so I'll make the decision for you. I'll exterminate you!"
After he finished speaking, in front of Xu Shidong's shocked eyes, Shen Danjun made a gesture with one hand and pointed a finger. Suddenly, a horrifying scene appeared. A giant finger that was no less powerful than the entire Yu Jian Sect appeared out of thin air, carrying indescribable divine power, and instantly pointed at the Yu Jian Sect's protective formation.
At this moment, the hearts of all those who could see this shocking finger were in their throats, including Gu Xiaoxing and Qiao Yanran. This was a spiritual attack, and in their perception, it was simply not something that human power could withstand.
But what shocked everyone was that when the giant finger descended, although it caused a horrifying roar that made the nine ancient swords of the entire Sword Controlling Sect tremble violently and all the people on them feel dizzy and have tinnitus, as if they had been hit hard, the protective formation covering the entire Sword Controlling Sect was still intact and had not broken, and it actually... blocked it!
"No wonder the Lord is so moved, there must be some tricks..." Shen Danjun showed a look of surprise and muttered, and was about to attack again.
"Damn it, stop it!" Xu Ling roared, no longer caring about so much. If he let the opponent attack a few more times, the sect protection formation would definitely be broken. Without hesitation, he clasped his hands together, and sword symbols flashed in his eyes, as if he was ready to fight to the death.
Suddenly, the nine ancient swords carrying the Sword Controlling Sect trembled violently, and below them, the 6,561 swords surrounding the Sword Controlling City trembled violently as well, and were about to rise from the ground.
However, at this moment, twelve lights lit up in Yu Jian City. It turned out that twelve Jindan monks were burning themselves, as if they had turned into fuel and became twelve fireballs, like twelve suns. The next moment, they connected to each other and formed a huge curtain, covering the entire Yu Jian City, including those from the swords!
Inside the Yu Jian Sect, Xu Ling's face instantly turned extremely ugly. If the opponent was only in the initial stage of Spirit Transformation, then with the help of this ancient sword formation, his Yu Jian Sect could barely put up a fight. However, the opponent was obviously well prepared and had actually set up a sealing formation in advance, making it impossible for him to control the swords below. This was like a tiger having its teeth pulled out.
After scanning with his spiritual sense, Xu Ling immediately discovered that the incident in Yu Jian City was actually caused by the people from the Body Refining Sect. He was furious, but at this moment Xu Ling was helpless.
However, Xu Ling didn't know that Shen Danjun didn't care about those swords at all. What she cared about were the methods left behind in the swords!
This Twelve Yang Sealing Array is designed to seal that method, allowing the heavenly punishment and sword-stealing plan to be successfully carried out!
In order to set up this formation, Shen Danjun even approached the Body Refining Sect and promised them benefits. It was not because she needed help, but because she needed to set up the cornerstone of the formation.
In Yu Jian City, True Man Black Shen was holding a rare object, using it as the centerpiece of the formation. He had a grim smile on his face, looking up in the direction of Yu Jian Sect with a feeling of revenge. Although their Lian Ti Sect had lost twelve Jin Dan masters this time, it would be a sure win if they could annex Yu Jian Sect!
"You... all deserve to die!" Master Blackskin's eyes were filled with madness.
On top of the Sword Controlling Sect, Shen Danjun smiled slightly. Everything was going well. She made hand gestures again and spread out her palm. A cluster of dark red flames burned in the palm of her palm and was slapped out by her palm.
The moment the dark red flame fell on the sect protection formation, the originally small cluster of flames immediately turned into a raging flame, instantly spreading to most of the sect protection formation, burning fiercely as if it could burn everything.
Beside Shen Danjun, Xu Shidong struggled desperately, but was unable to move at all. He could only watch the flames burning with bloodshot eyes.
Inside the formation, Xu Ling was also furious, trying desperately to use his own cultivation to resist the flames that filled the sky with the protective formation. However, it seemed as if the flames would not go out, as if they would not stop until their target was completely burned out. In just a short moment, the entire protective formation began to dim.
Xu Ling's face turned even paler, and he finally vomited a mouthful of blood. At this time, the protective formation covering the entire Yu Jian Sect finally couldn't hold on, and gradually collapsed in the blazing flames.
Not until the entire protective formation completely disappeared did the flames finally die out as if they had completed their mission.
"This is the answer. Now, do you understand?" Shen Danjun said lightly to Xu Shidong.
Although Xu Shidong was imprisoned and unable to move, the anger and murderous intent in his eyes was difficult to suppress.
"Look, I told you that you might want to kill me in a moment..." Shen Danjun said in a teasing tone, and then looked at the Seventh Ancient Sword, "I'll give you a chance to stay with them for a while. Before destroying the sect, I have something else to deal with."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Danjun raised his hand and pressed down. Suddenly, Xu Shidong fell from the sky, fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood!
Not only Xu Shidong, but the entire Yu Jian Sect fell to the ground as Shen Danjun raised his hand. It was as if the sky had fallen down on them. No matter who had the same cultivation level as him, or even Xu Ling who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, they could not move at all at this moment.
Shen Danjun ignored everyone else and took a step, landing directly on the seventh ancient sword.
At the moment, there were only Gu Xiaoxing, Qiao Yanran and Xu Qianxing in the Seventh Ancient Sword. They were not forced to prostrate themselves on the ground by the tremendous force like the others, but when they saw Shen Danjun's graceful figure approaching, the fear in their hearts was no less than that of the others.
Shen Danjun glanced at Gu Xiaoxing indifferently and said, "Are you the one who defiled my Lord's Fire Seed Furnace?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Yanran's mind exploded. What was coming had finally come. She was not afraid of death, but when she thought that Gu Xiaoxing would die because of her, infinite fear surged in her heart.
However, no matter what Qiao Yanran was thinking at the moment, it was useless because she had no control over life and death.
