Chapter 60: The Final Strike

The sky-filling azure water waves roared forward. The ghosts emitted from Jin Buhuan's giant black banner did not have time to dodge at all; as soon as they were struck by the water waves, they immediately turned into wisps of black smoke and vanished between heaven and earth. Bursts of ghostly wailing sounds came forth, making one feel terrified upon hearing them.

Jin Buhuan, beneath the giant bell, saw that the situation was not good and immediately shook the giant banner in his hand, pulling back all the ghosts that were scattered outside.

"Think of a way quickly, otherwise this bell of mine won't be able to hold on for much longer!"

The man with the surname Chi looked up at the top of the bell and saw that faint smoke was already rising from it; in less than a moment, this giant bell would be burned away by the flames upon the azure water waves.

Jin Buhuan frowned slightly; he had no solution for this kind of large-scale, terrifying attack. Qin Xiaofeng was expressionless, but suddenly his gaze looked to the side. He saw that with the ghost attacks gone, Shi Liang was slowly moving toward the edge of the battlefield, a large amount of escape light surging from his body—it looked like he wanted to flee!

"Take him down first!"

Speaking coldly, Qin Xiaofeng's body suddenly rushed out from the protection of the giant bell. Immediately, several azure water waves smashed toward him. His figure flashed a few times, dodging the attacks of the water waves, and Qin Xiaofeng transformed into a long rainbow, arriving before Shi Liang.

Shi Liang, who only wanted to flee and had no mental preparation, was startled by Qin Xiaofeng's sudden appearance. With no time to think, the escape light on his body surged, and he was about to fly away immediately.

"Want to leave! It's not that easy!"

Rarely, a trace of anger appeared on Qin Xiaofeng's face. With a low shout, a black radiance rushed out from his body. That black radiance was as thick as a thigh, over a zhang long, and emitted a metallic luster.

As soon as the black radiance appeared, it arrived above Shi Liang's head. Bursts of pressure made Shi Liang, who had just steered his escape light, feel his heart sink violently.

"What terrifying power!"

He secretly said in his heart. Shi Liang dared not pause at all; the Divine Sea within his body flashed violently, and a large amount of Spiritual Qi surged out as he prepared to flee. But it was already too late. The black radiance circled above his head and actually transformed into a giant palm.

The pitch-black palm slapped toward Shi Liang in one motion! Within his ears, he heard a loud "Bang," and the giant hand pressed Shi Liang, who was wrapped in escape light, straight down to the ground.

"Boom!"

Shi Liang's body was pressed directly from mid-air to the ground by the black giant hand. Earth and stone splashed, and beneath the five deep handprints lay Shi Liang, covered in blood!

"Well killed!"

This cheer actually came from Sun Yiyang. Just now, when Shi Liang saw he was in danger and did not come to save him, Sun Yiyang had already guessed his intentions. Through the attack of Lin Fan and Xiao Jingxuan's 'Li Water Burning Heaven', Shi Liang's intention to flee was also fully seen by him.

It was just that the sect had already been destroyed, and Sun Yiyang had no heart to pay him any mind. Now, seeing Qin Xiaofeng strike and kill this fellow who deserted in the face of battle, the foul air in his heart was finally dispelled.

At this time, the attack of 'Li Water Burning Heaven' had begun to weaken. Lin Fan looked down at the disciples within the sect; within the vast Divine Sword Sect, apart from corpses lying in disarray, there was no one left.

"I hope you can escape this disaster!"

With a wave of one hand, a white light flashed across the sky and arrived in Lin Fan's hand in an instant; it was the 'Lishui Sword!'

"Sect Leader Senior Brother! We have already done our best! It is a pity that the Mountain Protection Array consumed too much Spirit Power earlier; this 'Li Water Burning Heaven' cannot be supported for much longer!"

"You two go as well! I will cover your retreat!"

Listening to Lin Fan's words and looking at the few remaining azure water waves in the sky, Sun Yiyang said despairingly.

"Let us escape together!"

Xiao Jingxuan also withdrew the 'Burning Heaven Sword' at this time; the situation was lost, and continuing to resist would only lead to death!

"You go quickly, if you don't leave now, it will be too late! Even if I die, I will die together with the Divine Sword Sect!"

Within Sun Yiyang's lifeless eyes, a look of determination suddenly erupted. At the same time, as he flicked his sleeves, two gusts of wind blew Lin Fan and Xiao Jingxuan's bodies hundreds of zhang away!

"Sect Leader Senior Brother!"

The two shouted repeatedly while flying back, but Sun Yiyang acted as if he had not heard. With a bitter smile on his face, he slowly turned his body, leaving the two with an aged back!

"You think you can leave after destroying my Magic Treasure?"

The man with the surname Chi was furious in his heart as soon as he saw Lin Fan and Xiao Jingxuan fly far away. This small gray bell Magic Treasure had already been ruined by 'Li Water Burning Heaven'; it seemed it could not be used in the future.

"Hmm?"

Just as he wanted to fly to chase the two, red light flashed several times in the red-haired man's eyes. He saw Sun Yiyang slowly open his mouth, and a thumb-sized golden round pill flew out.

The gazes of Qin Xiaofeng and the others looked at the Golden Core simultaneously! Their hearts couldn't help but feel a chill! At this time, Sun Yiyang spitting out his Golden Core—only a fool wouldn't know what he wanted to do.

Looking back at Sun Yiyang's back, Lin Fan felt very uncomfortable. Although he had been at odds with this Sect Leader Senior Brother in his early years, seeing the other party die was also something he did not want to see.

Just at this moment, a wave of pure Spirit Power came from Sun Yiyang's side!

"Senior Sister! Run! Sect Leader Senior Brother might be about to self-detonate his Golden Core!"

Xiao Jingxuan's expression changed suddenly! Self-detonating a Golden Core—it seemed Sun Yiyang truly wanted to perish together with the Divine Sword Sect!

"Senior Brother once learned a secret technique in his early years; the power of his self-detonating Golden Core is much greater than that of other Golden Core Cultivators. I fear the range we are currently in is also within his attack!"

Within the escape light, Lin Fan said anxiously. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Xiao Jingxuan's eyes; as they flew at high speed, the tears scattered across the sky. If it weren't for his disciple Wu Min, perhaps Sun Yiyang would not have reached this point today. In the final analysis, she had an inescapable responsibility for the destruction of the Divine Sword Sect!

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from the place where Sun Yiyang had just been standing. A golden ball of light was gradually expanding, and the power contained within it was something one could not withstand. Rolling heat waves spread out; at this very moment, Lin Fan and the other, who were dozens of miles away, also sensed the terrifying nature of the heat waves!

"Sect Leader Senior Brother!"

Xiao Jingxuan screamed heart-rendingly, but she dared not pause in the slightest. The expanding golden ball of light was rapidly approaching them, to the point that the corners of their clothes were shattered by a tyrannical force!

Zhang Nuo and Gao Dakuan, who had escaped a step earlier than Lin Fan and the other, were standing on a mountain peak hundreds of miles away at this time. Looking at the giant golden ball of light rising from the direction of Divine Sword, looks of astonishment appeared on both their faces!

The Divine Sword Sect was completely finished! The sect that had stood on the Tianyuan Continent for over three thousand years had been destroyed! Gao Dakuan had a look of sorrow on his face, tears swirling in his eye sockets, yet they did not fall.
