The earth trembled across countless regions.
Within the Divine Maiden Sect area, inside the mountain gate of the Divine Maiden Sect.
"Ah—!!!"
Boom—!!!
The desperate roar and deafening explosion caused the entire Divine Maiden Sect to seemingly quiver. After the world-shocking Sword Qi pierced the sky and opened the heavenly gate, it directly slashed down towards the Divine Maiden Sect Leader.
In the eyes of countless astonished cultivators, the terrifying Sword Qi crashed down fiercely, spanning unknown miles, like a pillar propping up the sky collapsing heavily.
The terror sword force shook the universe, first slashing heavily onto more than ten sacred artifacts. The powerful and terrifying sword force even sent the magical artifacts used by the demon realm saints to seal Bai Yue flying, as if one sword shattered thousands of obstacles, launching all sacred artifacts towards the ends of Sword Qi.
Following the sacred artifacts being affected was the Divine Maiden Sect’s sect-protecting sacred artifact supported by Bai Yue, a piece of jade ruyi as white as snow from an unknown era. Though it appeared to be a ruyi magical artifact devoid of any offensive capability, it was actually a remarkably astonishing sacred artifact.
But the moment this sacred artifact was struck by this sword, it too was directly sent flying.
The Divine Maiden Sect Leader, who was previously disdainfully aloof, now had shock and awe spread across her old face, her eyes filled with endless terror.
It wasn’t until this moment that the Divine Maiden Sect Leader realized the immense gap between herself and the peak period of the Sword Saint.
Between the two, one was the current female sect leader of the Divine Maiden Sect, known as one of the ten powerhouses with the title of the number one female sword cultivator in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range area. The other was the contemporary Sword Saint. Though Bai Yue had never crossed swords with Dugu Nan in her life, the cultivation realm of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range area often compared the two.
Rumor even had it that in this vast region, the only sword cultivator capable of dueling the Dragon Emperor Sword Saint was the Divine Maiden Sect’s Sect Leader Bai Yue.
Sometimes, hearing flattering words too often even made Bai Yue believe she was the only sword dao powerhouse in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range area capable of challenging the Dragon Emperor Sword Saint.
But when facing the peak sword strike of the Sword Saint, she finally understood what a Sword Saint was. Although both were the most representative saint realm powerhouses of the sword dao, the difference was more than slight.
Bai Yue felt an illusion, even at her peak, she could hardly withstand a single strike from the Sword Saint.
Moreover, she had just freed herself from the restraints of Yunmo Baitian and others, unable to unleash her most terrifying attack, let alone evade, only desperately gathering power to endure this sword.
"Old hag, your life is mine—!!!"
Boom—!!!
The world-shocking Sword Qi crashed down heavily, causing the entire Divine Maiden Sect region to tremble. It was not merely trembling, but truly shaking, as countless Divine Maiden Sect saint realm powerhouses took action, trying their best to cover the entire mountain gate with divine peaks and spirit rivers, lest the entire Divine Maiden Sect be razed to the ground by this sword.
Amidst the earthquake-like tremors, millions of cultivators widened their eyes.
The terrifying Sword Qi slashed straight down, first splitting more than ten sacred artifacts, then colliding with the protective shield gathered by Sect Leader Bai Yue with all her might.
The defense gathered by saint realm giants was as solid as iron, comparable to the Immortal Divine Mountain, yet under this sword, it instantly shattered, scattered swiftly, and the world-ending sword force enveloped down, straight towards Bai Yue’s forehead.
An unparalleled sword strike had not yet fallen, but the fearsome sword force had already severely harmed a generation of Divine Sect Leader, without moving, making her spit a mouthful of fresh blood, her old face distorted terribly.
"What?"
"Sect Leader?"
"Bai Yue?"
Crash—!!!
The world-ending Sword Qi shattered the goddess’s defense, as all saints were shocked, eyes filled with disbelief, while endless female cultivator elders instinctively exclaimed, faces transformed in shock, their eyes filled with urgency.
Intuition told them that if the Sword Saint’s seal on the white-robed youth that embodied this sword fell, the Divine Sect Leader would be in grave danger.
Yet among this critical moment.
"Xiaofan, no—!!!"
The previously dying Ye Xiaoyue suddenly cried out, raising her exhausted jade hand, using the last bit of strength to vocally stop.
Boom—!!!
The terrifying sword force crashed violently, forcing the sect leader to kneel uncontrollably, her body bending uncontrollably, yet the Sword Qi suddenly halted, suspended silently above the Divine Sect Leader’s forehead, mere meters away from her head, its might shaking the heavens and stirring ghosts.
Bai Yue blankly stared at the massive Sword Qi hovering above her head, momentarily feeling herself small as dust.
Obviously, though unknown why Ye Xiaoyue suddenly spoke, Ye Xiaofan still heeded his sister’s words, leaving the sword suspended in mid-air.
No matter why his sister said this, there had to be reasons from his sister, and Ye Xiaofan did not rush at this moment.
Amidst the endless wind and snow.
After Ye Xiaoyue stopped Ye Xiaofan, although her body appeared weak, face pale as bloodless, yet her beautiful and forlorn appearance displayed icy cold ruthlessness, her gaze cold to the extreme.
She stared fixedly at Bai Yue, suppressed by the sword force on the ground, then scanned her gaze over the Divine Maiden Sect’s Supreme Elders one by one, her voice echoing across the entire Divine Maiden Sect region, reverberating for long above the endless icy sky and snow.
"Xiaofan, leave these beasts to me. Someday, I will personally reclaim today’s blood debt from them."
"What I endured in the Divine Maiden Sect, until the day sister grows strong, sister will personally execute them and tell everyone in this world, though we siblings have no one to rely on, we are not ones who can be easily crushed."
