Mu Yin shouted sternly:
"Pass down the order: all disciples must guard the mountain gate and focus on buying time. Do not fight him to the death. I will personally settle the blood feud with him after I have reconstructed my physical body! Go now!"
Although he was deeply affected by the poison of the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword, and did not know when he would be able to rebuild his physical body, he absolutely could not confront that madman Ling Xiao head-on at this moment.
"Disciple obeys!" Gu Cangming dared not disobey, and immediately turned around, transforming into a sharp sword light that broke through the palace gate and sped away.
Inside the main hall, only Mu Yin's soul remained suspended in the air, emanating waves of resentment and icy coldness, almost solidifying into a tangible form.
"You destroyed my thousand-year-old Dao body, eroded my divine soul's origin... Ling Xiao! This grudge will be repaid with your soul being scattered and your soul never to be reincarnated!"
The whispers faded into the depths of the hall, and his illusory figure slowly drifted toward the secret area behind the hall... There lay hidden the materials for reshaping the physical bodies and the spirit-gathering formations that the sect had prepared for top experts; he had to restore his strength as soon as possible.
At this moment, Ling Xiao exuded an "unsolvable" aura that even he, at his level, found unsettling. Only by reshaping his Dao body could he be confident of suppressing and killing him.
……
After leaving the main hall, Gu Cangming swiftly ascended to the summit of the main peak. With a change of hand seals, an ancient sword token shot into the sky from his palm.
The sword token exploded, transforming into countless tiny sword shadows that pierced through the clouds, flying towards various parts of the Sword Star Sanctuary, and even tearing through the spatial barrier to reach the distant outside world.
The Order of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin!
The highest-level summons from the Sword Star Sanctuary: whoever receives this summons, regardless of where they are or what they are doing, must drop everything and return to the sect as quickly as possible!
At the same time, the invisible barrier enveloping the entire Sword Star Holy Hall suddenly began to operate, and the sect's protective formation, the "Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Slaying Formation," slowly started.
Thousands of sharp sword energies appeared and disappeared among the mountains and clouds, and the usually restrained, powerful sword pressure spread out like a tide, even stirring up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Sword Star Sanctuary is now officially on high alert!
This great sect of swordsmanship, with its millennia-long heritage, was instantly shaken.
The highest level of alert, which had not been used for tens of thousands of years, startled all the disciples from their cultivation. With expressions of surprise and solemnity, they all drew their swords and gathered at the main peak.
The air was thick with the oppressive atmosphere of an impending storm, and every inch of space exuded a chilling aura.
At that very moment, outside the indestructible, invisible barrier of the Sword Star Sanctuary, a blood-red figure approached from afar.
He treads on the flowing clouds stained with his own blood energy, his steps slow yet exceptionally firm, each step causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly.
Ling Xiao was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and the surging bloody aura was like solidified magma, tightly binding his body, even his hair was tinged with scarlet.
He stood before the barrier, slowly raising his eyes... those eyes had long since transformed into two deep red abysses of blood, devoid of sorrow or joy, only filled with boundless hatred and a deathly stillness.
He gazed at the towering, majestic immortal mountains and pavilions within the barrier, his sword energy reaching the heavens, without uttering a word or roaring.
But that intense hatred, condensed to its extreme, crashed into the protective barrier of the Sword Star Sanctuary like a solid iceberg, creating violent ripples that slightly disrupted the sword energy within the barrier.
Ling Xiao stood quietly outside the shimmering barrier of the Sword Star Temple. The crimson blood energy surging around him clashed fiercely with the cold sword light flowing on the surface of the barrier, creating a dazzling tension with their distinct colors.
Deep within his eyes, no trace of human emotion could be found; only two deathly yet boiling crimson slits remained, like a bottomless abyss of blood capable of swallowing all light.
He was lifeless, with only the blood flames coiling around his body still pulsating slightly. He was a blood-red puppet driven solely by overwhelming hatred and a thirst for revenge, every inch of his aura exuding a mad madness that would destroy everything.
In the midst of this suffocating silence, within the barrier, a clear and sharp sword cry suddenly pierced the sky!
A flying sword, as thin as a cicada's wing and gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light, shot through the air, ignoring the constraints of space. Its tip, like a shooting star chasing the moon, aimed straight for Ling Xiao's brow, moving faster than the limits of human vision, leaving only a blurry afterimage.
Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch Ling Xiao's brow, it suddenly froze at a hair's breadth away...
Ling Xiao's left hand had been raised to his face at some point, and his five fingers tightened suddenly like tempered iron, firmly clamping the cold and sharp tip of the sword. The collision between his fingertips and the blade produced a faint metallic tremor.
After a brief pause, Ling Xiao suddenly clenched his left hand with increased force!
"Snap... hiss!"
A series of crisp sounds rang out as the exceptionally high-quality flying sword, capable of shattering stone and piercing gold, crumbled inch by inch like fragile glass. Before the fragments even hit the ground, they were instantly engulfed by the surging blood flames surrounding Ling Xiao, melting and annihilating them without leaving even a trace of ash.
Ling Xiao walked slowly to the solid barrier that had protected the sect for eternity. He raised his right hand slightly, and the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword immediately let out a low groan. The sword was soaked in blood-red spiritual power, and its light surged like the blazing sun.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and swung his sword. There were no complicated moves, only a simple slash!
boom……!!!
The entire Sword Star Sanctuary barrier trembled violently, the runes flowing on its surface flashed wildly, bursting forth with thousands of dazzling spiritual lights, and a deep, bone-revealing crack meandered and spread from where the sword fell.
Ling Xiao remained expressionless, flicked his wrist, and slashed down with his second sword!
Boom!
The cracks instantly spread like a spider web, with dense patterns intertwining and covering most of the barrier. The barrier's spiritual light dimmed slightly, showing signs of collapse.
The third sword strike arrived before the barrier could stabilize!
BOOM...!!
A deafening explosion shook the mountains, and the powerful barrier that had protected the Sword Star Sanctuary for millennia shattered. Countless broken runes and spiritual light scattered like a torrential downpour, and the dull thud of the collapsing formation echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The moment the barrier shattered, ten incredibly sharp sword lights shot out from behind it at tricky angles, so fast that they left only afterimages, instantly sealing off all of Ling Xiao's escape space. The sword wind howled and caused the surrounding void to distort slightly.
Ling Xiao did not block, but the blood flames around him suddenly surged several feet, turning into a scarlet sea of fire that enveloped him.
Hiss hiss hiss...!
The ten sword lights, powerful enough to easily pierce mountains, pierced into the blood flames, but they were like mud oxen entering the sea. As soon as they touched the sea of fire, they were torn apart and dissolved by the violent blood-red power, without even causing a ripple. They disappeared without a trace in an instant.
A figure in grey robes emerged from the shadows. The swordsman, carrying an ornately carved sword case, had an icy expression and his gaze, sharp as lightning, locked onto Ling Xiao. He shouted sternly, "Who dares to trespass on my Holy Temple...?"
Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao's figure had already disappeared from the spot, so fast that it broke through the perception of time and space.
laugh……!
A thin, hair-like, yet chillingly cold, blood-red thread flashed across the scene, its trajectory impossible for anyone to catch.
The gray-robed swordsman's voice abruptly stopped.
His pupils suddenly dilated, his face still bearing the lingering fierceness, which quickly turned into confusion, and a thin red line slowly appeared on his neck.
