The explosive flames illuminated the heavens in a fiery red!
At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared behind Han Tiange.
By the time he reacted, it was too late to turn his sword.
A yellowish aura spread around, and Han Tiange instantly felt as if a mountain hundreds of meters high had pressed down on him!
Boom!!
Swish!!
A flash of cold light, and Han Tiange’s left arm flew off!
Taking advantage of the momentum, he burst forth with immense power and fled hundreds of meters away.
Lu Kangnian, covered in blood, had his flesh turned inside out, making him look incredibly ferocious.
Despite his severe injuries, he clung to Han Tiange like a god of death, refusing to let go!
The sound of the Cloud Boat exploding was incessant, and Han Tiange’s heart was already in chaos.
Seeing the disciples of the Purple Sun Hall fleeing in panic, he could no longer maintain his arrogance and shouted frantically.
“Disciples of the Purple Sun Hall, retreat!!”
At his command, all the disciples in the air retreated swiftly!
Han Tiange, with a sinister look in his eyes, glanced at the approaching man, unwillingly formed a hand seal, and his body erupted in a mist of blood.
In an instant, his figure turned into a blood-red streak and teleported thousands of meters away!
As he fled, Han Tiange took out several formation disks, which flashed with purple light.
The jade slips at the waists of all the Purple Sun Hall disciples instantly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping them.
Swish!!!
The people of the Purple Sun Hall vanished from the sky in an instant.
Only then did the onlookers dare to take a deep breath.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock and astonishment!
Even Ye Shaozhen, who usually held his orchid fingers, was now solemnly watching the two powerful figures in the distance.
“The sky of the Northern Territory has changed!”
The sect leaders of Orient Loong Island, Myriad Immortals Sword Faction, and other sects that had previously clashed with the Great Xia Sword Sect all looked grim.
Only Shen Ye hurriedly flew towards the Great Xia Sword Sect’s stronghold!
There were at least eight thousand cultivators watching this battle.
These people were at least three thousand meters away from the battlefield of the Great Xia Sword Sect, but they could all see the exploding Cloud Boat and the retreating Purple Sun Hall members.
The sharp-eyed ones even noticed that the hall master of the Purple Sun Hall, Han Tiange, seemed to have lost an arm.
Everyone was swallowing hard, their lips tightly closed, and their eyes flickering non-stop.
In the blink of an eye, the news had spread throughout the entire Northern Territory!
At this moment, Lu Kangnian’s aura was rapidly declining.
The pale-faced man swayed slightly in the air.
But immediately, a figure carrying a sword box appeared beside Lu Kangnian and supported him.
Li Guanqi said nothing, just helped Lu Kangnian stand upright!
He knew that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the entire Northern Territory’s attention was on Lu Kangnian right now!
Lu Kangnian couldn’t fall, at least not in front of everyone!
Lu Kangnian glanced at the young man but said nothing.
But Li Guanqi could clearly feel the man desperately straightening his back!
As if trying to shatter the coward’s name that had weighed on him for thousands of years.
Lu Kangnian’s eyes were already somewhat dazed, but his posture was as straight as a sword.
He slowly raised his sword, his sharp gaze sweeping across the void.
The densely packed onlookers felt their hearts tighten at this sight.
Lu Kangnian’s chest heaved slightly, and his powerful voice, mixed with Primordial Energy, spread for thousands of meters!
“From today onwards!”
“Anyone who offends the Great Xia, no matter how far, must be exterminated!!”
His powerful voice roared angrily!
In an instant, all the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect who had participated in this battle rose into the air!
They released their auras wantonly, pointed their swords at the void, and shouted in unison.
“Anyone who offends the Great Xia, no matter how far, must be exterminated!!”
“Anyone who offends the Great Xia, no matter how far, must be exterminated!!”
The uniform voices seemed to tear through the night, their shouts like a thousand horses galloping, shaking the soul!
The disciples who had not yet reached Foundation Establishment were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes.
Their clenched fists were so tight that their nails dug into their flesh without them noticing.
A special emotion began to sprout in their hearts.
Lu Kangnian gently pushed Li Guanqi away, slowly turned in the air, and landed in front of the sect’s main hall, pushing open the door and walking in.
Buzz!!
The moment Lu Kangnian landed, Ling Daoyan waved his hand, instantly setting up a curtain of heavenly fire!!
After doing all this, the old man swiftly pushed open the main hall’s door.
Lu Kangnian lay straight on the ground, motionless, having fallen into a coma.
Although invoking the name of the Immortal could bring down the blessing power of the Immortal Realm’s ancestor, this power could only be maintained for a short time and had strong side effects.
Lu Kangnian wouldn’t be able to move for at least three days.
In an instant, the entire Great Xia Sword Sect was taken over by Ling Daoyan.
Shen Ye arrived at this moment as well.
While Ling Daoyan focused on healing Lu Kangnian, he used his Primordial Energy to issue one command after another!
Shen Ye silently began to help the injured disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect.
Li Guanqi and the other Golden Elixir stage disciples who could still move were sent out.
After all, if the Purple Sun Hall launched a counterattack now, the Great Xia Sword Sect would have a hard time resisting.
Li Guanqi was already exhausted to the extreme, but he continued to transport injured disciples to the Heavenly Water Peak.
Seeing one corpse after another being carried to the sect’s cemetery, Li Guanqi’s sorrowful eyes were filled with a suppressed anger.
In this battle, the Great Xia Sword Sect lost nearly sixty-seven people!
Forty-two of them were Golden Elixir stage disciples!
As for why the number of Golden Elixir stage deaths was more than double that of Foundation Establishment disciples.
One reason was that the Purple Sun Hall had too many Golden Elixir stage disciples, almost every Great Xia Sword Sect disciple had to face two or more cultivators of the same stage.
Another reason…
Was that the Golden Elixir cultivators of the Purple Sun Hall targeted the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect, forcing them to defend…
And this was a premeditated plan by the Purple Sun Hall!!
Was it vicious?
Yes, it was.
But Li Guanqi believed that none of the Great Xia Sword Sect disciples would regret their actions.
After finishing all the tasks, Li Guanqi leaned against a shattered boulder to bandage his wounds.
Ye Feng dragged his exhausted body to his side.
After a long silence, he softly said, “Senior Sister Lan He is dead.”
“I carried her myself.”
Li Guanqi’s breath caught, and he suddenly turned to look at Ye Feng!
Ye Feng buried his head between his knees, his shoulders trembling slightly.
His voice trembled with sobs, “How… how could she die…”
“I haven’t even reached the Golden Elixir stage!”
“I didn’t even get to tell her… that I liked her…”
Li Guanqi opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort him.
No one knew about this, not even Li Guanqi knew that Ye Feng liked Lan He.
Suddenly!
Ling Daoyan’s voice resounded throughout the entire Great Xia Sword Sect!
“All disciples, listen up! In a quarter of an hour, pay respects at the sect’s cemetery!”
“In one hour, point your swords at the Purple Sun Hall!!”
