NFBE Chapter 512 Slaying the Demonic Dragon
Chapter 512 Slaying the Demonic Dragon
Above the nine heavens, the dark, inky sea of clouds surged into vortexes, and countless lightning bolts roamed between the clouds.
The dragon's entire body was covered in scales that gleamed with a deep, dark, cold light. Blood-red light flowed in its vertical pupils, and every breath it exhaled carried a turbid aura that corroded all things.
Qu Jianrou's two junior brothers, who had previously met Yun Yici and others, formed a sword formation with the other six Supreme Elders of the Qian Yuan Sect to fight against the demonic dragon.
However, this interconnected sword formation was missing one person, and the remaining eight people, having struggled for so long, had reached their limit.
The giant turtle wasn't looking at the figures fighting the demonic dragon, but rather at—the person who had suddenly appeared.
Shen Huaichuan's blue robe and wide sleeves fluttered in the strong wind, and his long hair, tied up with a jade crown, was entwined with stardust-like sparkles. His sword-like eyebrows, as dark as ink, sliced his cold face into a breathtakingly beautiful expression.
"Senior Shen? Where are Xiao Ci and Senior Di Zhao?"
Ning Tinglan, dressed in white, was surrounded by sword light that soared into the sky, showing no less prowess than the various elders of the Qian Yuan Sect.
At this moment, his profile, streaked with frost and snow, revealed a hint of barely perceptible joy.
If Shen Huaichuan is alive, then Yun Yici and the imperial edict must also be safe and sound.
In the next instant, a burst of golden-red flames suddenly erupted from the depths of the earth's veins, and the scorching air currents caused the broken walls and ruins to peel off in a rustling sound.
A fiery phoenix tore through the chaotic demonic land, its head raised, bringing with it countless sparks. The fiery rain woven from the flowing flames melted away the ominous demonic energy that permeated the sky above the Qian Yuan Sect.
Everyone watched as the phoenix soared through the heavens.
The young man in red, leaning against the phoenix spine, was completely oblivious to what others thought.
The emperor's edict, with its flowing crimson sleeves like a river of blood, adorned her beautiful, delicate features, like a blooming peach blossom. Yet, she managed to suppress seven parts of her vibrant beauty, transforming it into three parts languidness.
Yun Yici and Qu Jianrou sat behind them, their clothes fluttering in the strong wind.
Seeing the tragic state of the sect, Qu Jianrou was eager to fly forward on her sword and replace Ning Tinglan and Chu Xuan.
The two descended from the fire phoenix on their swords.
Qu Jianrou's appearance gave everyone in the Qian Yuan Sect a jolt.
"It's Elder Qu and Sect Leader Yun, they're not dead!"
The continuous rain of demons was dissolved by the fire of the imperial edict and returned to clear water droplets.
The disciples were eager to try their luck beneath the giant turtle.
The elders also bowed and pleaded with Zhang Qiuzhuo: "Although we do not know why the sect was attacked by the demonic dragon, we are willing to fight to the death for the sect!"
“Yes! Where can we escape to? If we run away, the situation will only get worse. How will we face the world after that? We'll just be ridiculed by our fellow practitioners.”
"Even if I die, I will die a worthy death, worthy of the name of my sect."
"Please lead your junior disciples away, Sect Leader. We are willing to join the Supreme Elders in resisting the external enemies!"
Unable to refute the crowd's opinion, Zhang Qiuzhuo had no choice but to give a solemn order: "Then all the elders will fight alongside me. Fellow Daoist Xie, I entrust you with continuing to transport my sect's disciples down the mountain."
"If our sect is spared, we will never forget the kindness shown to us today!"
Zhang Qiuzhuo bowed deeply to Xie Qianjue.
In an instant, ten thousand swords rang out, and countless spiritual swords rushed into the sky with their sword masters.
The cold gleam of the sword light condensed into one point with the will of all the disciples of the Qian Yuan Sect, piercing through the demonic sea of illusions that shrouded the Qian Yuan Sect.
As dawn broke, a faint light finally pierced through.
Huai Chuan buzzed excitedly; it hadn't seen such a grand spectacle and so many companions in a long time.
The swordsmen's swords also began to respond with the sound of swords ringing out.
The emperor decreed, "Don't waste any more time."
With such a huge commotion, Shen Huaichuan, that idiot, actually wanted to suppress these demonic dragons by himself in public.
With a slap, the Emperor clapped the fire phoenix beneath him. The phoenix let out a clear cry and charged toward the last demonic dragon with the force to burn the heavens.
The moment the phoenix fire entangled the demonic dragon, the dragon immediately let out a mournful cry, struggling to curl up its hundred-foot-long body.
Ning Tinglan and Chu Xuan were replaced by Qu Jianrou and Yun Yici.
Yun Yici slashed into the dragon's reverse scale with his sword, and the sword energy surged into an unstoppable blade that pierced through the dragon's body the moment it entered.
The junior disciples, hiding beneath the giant tortoise, watched in horror as the ferocious and terrifying dragon, as monstrous as a mountain, was peeled away layer by layer by the moonlight-like sword light, cracking inch by inch.
"So strong!!!"
"No, look how strong our elders are too!!"
Although the sword cultivator elders of the Qian Yuan Sect could not single-handedly fight against a demonic dragon, countless spiritual swords converged into a sea of swords, relentlessly battling against the demonic dragon.
With the imperial edict and the addition of Yun Yici, Qu Jianrou, and countless elders, the Eight Sons of Qian Yuan, who had almost been unable to resist, finally regained their advantage.
One!
Two!
.......
As the last demonic dragon fell and turned into ethereal demonic mist, the Qian Yuan Sect, which had become a bizarre demonic realm, finally saw the light of day again.
Rinyu let out a long sigh and transformed back into human form.
The disciples, their blood boiling with excitement, hadn't even reacted yet, gazing at the elders in the heavens with reverence as if they were gods.
"we won!!"
"We're alright!!"
The cheers and jubilation below contrasted sharply with the devastating ruins.
Qu Jianrou had already overused her eyes, and now that she was relieved, she almost fell from the sky.
Yun Yici reacted quickly and caught him.
The other elders looked extremely grim: "What on earth is going on?!"
Now that the crisis is resolved, it's time to start assigning responsibility.
Qu Jianrou took a deep breath: "Today's disaster is my fault alone, and has nothing to do with anyone else. I accept the punishment."
Qu Jianrou's two junior brothers said in unison, "We share the responsibility with our senior sister, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Among the remaining six elders, an old man with white hair and wrinkled skin was the leader.
He said with a forced smile, "Three good disciples taught by Yao Chi."
"If I'm not mistaken, the starting point of the demonic energy eruption was the place where Yao Chi was in seclusion."
“Back then, she harbored a hidden inner demon and requested to go into seclusion in a forbidden area. If the inner demon is not extinguished, she will never emerge again.”
"You are treating the sect's thousand-year-old heritage as a joke!"
Qu Jianrou lowered her head and remained silent, but her older junior brother beside her retorted, "What face do you have to talk about the past!"
"Wasn't my master forced into the forbidden area by you using the pretext of sect loyalty?"
"You shameless scoundrels!"
The old man shouted, "Chongyuan! Are you insane?!"
"Your master, along with you three fellow disciples, are supported by the sect, so you should prioritize the sect above all else!"
"And then there are these outsiders..."
Seeing that the blame was about to be shifted to her, Yun Yici said with a smile, "We are all Supreme Elders, so you had better show us some respect. I am not your junior, nor have I received any offerings from your sect."
"Besides, I was invited here by Senior Yao Chi as a guest, not to beg your Qian Yuan Sect."
On the contrary, it is the cultivators of the Earthly Spirit Realm who need her help.
The old man was so angry that he choked up when he thought of the formidable fighting power that Yun Yici and his group had displayed before.
When these people are pushed to the limit, they really resort to violence.
"you......"
