Chapter 1008: Even the Heavenly King and Laozi won't do!

"Lord Lu Xuan, someone wants to kill Xiaoyaozi and Xiao Liang."

"Lu Xuan slightly opened his eyes, 'Oh?'"

"He had been activating the world tree pattern here all along, and had not been paying attention to the outside situation."

"Gongyang Yuxiao slapped his hand, and the image of that world within the Sword Qi Long River evolved……"

"At this moment, the terrifying sword-qi hurricane that Xiaoyaozi slashed out was casually destroyed by Elder Liu Wei."

"Xiao Liang and Xiaoyaozi shot out toward the rift torn in the air."

"Elder Liu Wei snorted coldly again, raised his hand and directly shot out a divine rainbow, annihilating the void passage, he sneered, 'Under my very nose, if you escape, how will I answer to Lord Sun Yuan?'"

"He felt a faint excitement."

"Capturing these two would allow us to root out the Heaven-Burying Alliance of this world; it would be a great merit."

"Moreover, with the sword Dao of this green-robed sword cultivator, they can find the inheritance ground more quickly."

"A deathly intent suddenly appeared on Xiao Liang's face: 'Xiaoyaozi, you go, I'll deal with him.'"

"Xiaoyaozi frowned: 'Xiao Liang, don't do something foolish!'"

"Xiao Liang let out a relieved laugh, gulped a mouthful of spirit liquor, his spirit soaring to the heavens: 'My luck has always been good. I've died twice, and lived twice. Perhaps in this life-and-death ordeal I might gain some fortune—who knows. Haha!'"

"From his body directly surged the 'All-Die Exhausted' sword intent, like a raging wave pouring out in all directions."

"Intent of life and death!"

"Immensely grand and mighty!"

"Xiaoyaozi said, 'Let's charge out together.'"

"Xiao Liang shook his head, the light in his eyes flickering: 'Xiaoyaozi, you know, we two cannot both step out at once; next I will self-detonate the wine spirit, and a wisp of my divine soul will be lodged in the sword-qi fragments. Using the death intent as a cover, they won't notice I'm still alive.'"

"'From now on it's up to you. You must obtain Senior Gongyang Yuxiao's inheritance; then, relying on the foundation of the inheritance ground, you will slaughter all the lackeys of the Qingming Heaven, and then rescue me. As long as I remain alive, perhaps Lord Lu Xuan will have a way.'"

"In the span of a breath, he had already worked out the subsequent plan."

"Xiaoyaozi's face grew heavy: 'You have died twice for the lower realm's humanity, I truly……'"

"He truly does not wish for Xiao Liang to endure this life-and-death again."

"Moreover, can Xiao Liang's plan really succeed?"

"But he also understands that once Xiao Liang makes a decision, no one can stop it."

"Xiao Liang took another sip of spirit liquor, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds: 'I suddenly find the spirit liquor extremely tasty! Since ancient times, who can escape death? Xiaoyaozi, cheer up, hahaha!'"

"The sound fell!"

"The wine spirit in Xiao Liang's hand began to burst forth with endless divine light, suddenly becoming immensely huge, taking the form of a sword-qi Great Wall."

"'Si!'"

"An incredibly long river of sword qi stretched across heaven and earth, the terrifying sword intent boiling; within it lay the accumulated sword qi of the lower realm from endless ages, densely intertwined, and also a great number of human heroic souls' obsessions, which, as Lu Xuan refined them, had become undying and indestructible."

"In an instant, the towering sword surge swept heaven and earth, intensely cold, seeking to cleave the nine heavenly gates."

"Everyone was startled."

"Within this spirit sword, a world of its own actually formed, containing endless sword intent, and further bolstered by the vast human obsessions."

"Even Elder Liu Wei's eyes showed a hint of greed: 'This spirit sword, if it absorbs more human obsessions, can become even stronger! Kid, this great gift, I, Liu Wei, accept it!'"

"Xiao Liang laughed loudly: 'Let's die together!'"

"With a boom, the sword-qi long river was about to shatter and dissolve; the endless sword qi within boiled, ready to burst forth."

"'Si si si si!'"

"Between heaven and earth, a brilliant light shone, like a hundred thousand suns appearing, radiant and glowing."

"Elder Liu Wei snorted coldly: 'You want to self-destruct the spirit sword? Do I agree?'"

"He slapped his big hand, and the vast starry sky power evolved into a terrifying Dao pattern, which contained the intent of sealing."

"Heaven is round, earth is square!"

"In a moment, this heaven and earth were actually confined!"

"The bursting intent of the sword-qi long river in Xiao Liang's hand was forcibly suppressed, a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth—'pu!'"

"This is the gap!"

"Before a strong one, even wanting to self-destruct cannot be enacted."

"Elder Liu Wei burst into laughter, striding across the void toward Xiao Liang and Xiaoyaozi, the ferocity on his face fading, replaced by a kindly expression: 'Don't engage in pointless struggle. As the saying goes, 'A fine bird chooses its tree, a faithful minister chooses his lord.' You two are rare talents in the sword Dao. To serve Lord Sun Yuan, and even Lord Sun Qinghou, is your blessing.'"

"'How about it? Abandon darkness for light—this is your only choice.'"

"Speaking, his tone shifted: 'Otherwise, in this place, who could save you……'"

"Xiao Liang snorted: 'You really look like a dog.'"

"Elder Liu Wei did not feel this was an insult: 'What's the difference between a person and a dog? Dogs live, people die. These truths, once you reach my realm, you will naturally understand.'"

"'Hahaha!'"

"Xiao Liang burst into laughter."

"'It turns out this world really has someone who acts as a dog, and does so proudly!'"

"Elder Liu Wei's face turned gloomy: 'It seems you have chosen to be obstinate and senseless; then why waste more words on you?'"

"His big hand directly came down on Xiao Liang and Xiaoyaozi, the terrifying pressure like a hundred thousand great mountains pouring down, immensely terrifying."

"Xiaoyaozi and Xiao Liang's faces turned pale, they shouted loudly, and unleashed their strongest sword Dao to resist."

"But the gap was too great!"

"Their bodies were repeatedly slammed toward the ground!"

"They fell from the firmament!"

"Elder Liu Wei snorted coldly: 'Even if the Heavenly King and Laozi came today, they couldn't save you!'"

"The endless weight poured down again!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded leisurely.

Is that so?

In the next instant.

Boom!

Crack!

Void Rending!

Space distorted!

Lu Xuan donned a white robe, faint divine radiance flowing over his body, he slowly stepped out of the void rift, his three thousand black strands swaying, the divine radiance veiling his face as he gazed down faintly.

Xiao A Liang and Xiaoyaozi both stared in shock.

Venerable Lord Lu?

Heavens!

Huge waves surged in their hearts.

Venerable Lord Lu actually appeared here!

They never imagined such a situation would occur.

However, upon further thought, Venerable Lord Lu strategizes and comprehends all matters of the World Tree; how could he not know of the affairs of Azure Abyss Heaven?

In an instant, the two relaxed.

Venerable Lord Lu has descended; then he can take over this place.

Elder Liu Wei's giant palm hovered in the air, he coldly gazed at Lu Xuan: 'You are the white‑robed man who annihilated the Sun family branch? Hahaha! Thanks, thanks, you've sent my Liu family another great gift!'
