Chapter 260

In contrast, Li Tianyuan, Chu Xiong, and Yang Cheng clapped and laughed loudly.

A flash of greed appeared in Li Tianyuan's eyes as he said, 'No wonder it's the secret art of the Avici Gate; if one could learn even a bit of this method...'

Chu Xiong licked his lips and said, 'It seems the Azure Cloud Sect will ultimately have to pay a price.'

Thinking of the resentment he had suffered in the Azure Cloud Sect, seeing the sect's disciples in this state now, he naturally felt extreme joy.

He even didn't forget to glance at the masters of the Fist Sect and Star River Sect beside him and said.

'It looks like the Star River Sect and the Fist Sect are finally going to hold their heads high this time!'

The masters of the Fist Sect and Star River Sect nodded repeatedly and said, 'These two lowly scoundrels should just die.'

Yang Cheng even more proudly said, 'The Azure Cloud Sect is nothing special; there's no need to even look at them.'

Everyone else also nodded, feeling that made sense.

At this moment, after Li Yilan's path was blocked, she could only stare at Ming Feng while glancing at Ye Xiaonie.

She anxiously shouted, 'Xiao Nie, how are you?'

'Are you alright?'

Ye Xiaonie struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, gripped the assassin's blade tightly, and said, 'Senior Sister, I'm fine; I can still fight!'

'Good!'

Upon receiving Ye Xiaonie's response, Li Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, and a determined look flashed in her eyes.

In an instant, the Peerless Emperor Sword blazed with light, and she coldly said, 'This time, let them witness my true foundation!'

Ming Feng and Hao Yang exchanged a glance, and the demonic aura and golden light around their bodies surged simultaneously.

Ming Feng raised his longsword high, the eyeballs set in the skull on the blade spinning wildly, he muttered: "First form of the Sword Demon Record — One Sword, Become Demon!"

In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds, countless black dragons rolled and roared within the cloud layers, and the air was filled with a nauseating bloody stench.

As the longsword came down, myriad black dragons, carrying an aura of heaven‑shattering, earth‑crushing power, surged toward Li Yilan.

Li Yilan drew a deep breath, and dazzling azure light burst forth from her whole body.

The Sword Dao Sacred Body awakened with a boom, and a hundred‑meter‑high sword shadow appeared behind her.

As the supreme Sword Dao circulated, the azure cloud patterns on her peerless imperial sword solidified into substance.

Myriad Sword Heart True Solutions were activated, and sword intent swept across the arena like a tidal wave.

"One Sword to Slay the Immortals!"

She gave a soft shout, and countless azure sword qi shot up into the sky, condensing in the air into a massive sword formation that collided with the horde of black dragons.

For a moment.

Dragon chants and demonic roars intertwined, space violently trembled, and the entire martial arts arena shook.

On the other side, Haoyang's forehead blazed with light as a golden scorching sun slowly rose.

Under the intense light, no matter how Ye Xiaozhi circulated her Shadow Sacred Body, her figure had nowhere to hide.

"This... impossible..." Ye Xiaozhi's pupils contracted sharply, cold sweat sliding down her cheeks.

Haoyang formed seals with both hands, the blazing sun emitting myriad rays of light: "Sun Prison!"

Countless light chains shot out, like a giant net trapping Ye Xiaozhi at the center.

Ye Xiaozhi gritted her teeth, the Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra running wildly, black mist rising around her.

"Shadow Sacred Body, open!" she shouted inwardly.

Countless black daggers shot from the mist, but shattered instantly upon touching the light chains.

Haoyang sneered: "Death‑struggle!"

He raised his hand, a golden light shooting toward Ye Xiaozhi.

Ye Xiaozhi barely managed to sidestep, but a graze left a bloodstain on her shoulder.

The Azure Cloud Sect members watched, hearts clenched.

One disciple's eyes reddened: "Senior Sister Ye, dodge quickly!"

Elder Mao Ping crushed the teacup in his hand: "Hurry! Hurry, think of a way!"

Meanwhile, Li Tian Yuan and the others watched, entranced.

Chu Xiong excitedly waved his arms and said: "Good! Good! This is what a true clash of powerhouses looks like!"

Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said: "The Azure Cloud Sect is done for this time; the Hell Gate Sect's operative has achieved his goal!"

At the same time, those observing this battle were not only the people on site.

There was also Can Lie of the Hell Gate Sect.

He stared at the sky, making calculations.

Soon after.

"Hahaha!" Can Lie burst out laughing: "As expected, as long as we infinitely suppress Li Yilan and Ye Xiaozhi, the supreme opportunity will descend."

"Hahaha, supreme opportunity, come quickly."

"Mine, all mine."

Can Lie let out a devil‑like laugh.

Because he had sensed that the supreme opportunity was about to be born.

Beside him, Lin Yang also heard an ethereal chime.

【Ding dong, congratulations, Host, the absolute suppression ability is about to be born.】

Lin Yang gave a knowing smile.

"Oh? Is it going to be born?"

……………………

At this moment, on the arena stage, Li Yilan's side was likewise locked in a bitter fight.

Although she exerted all her power to activate her three trump cards, the sword formation still teetered on the brink of collapse under the black dragon's impact.

Ming Feng's lips curled into a cruel arc as he said, "Struggle on, in this despair..."

Before his words faded, the long sword in his hand suddenly tripled in size, a giant sword condensed from demonic qi slashing toward the core of the sword formation.

Li Yilan felt a tremendous force strike her; the sword formation shattered with a boom, and she spat blood as she was flung backward.

"Senior Sister!"

Ye Xiaojie, seeing this, wanted to rescue her, but was entangled by Haoyang's light chain around her ankle and violently yanked to the ground.

Haoyang stepped closer, the golden chain coiling like a spirit snake around her neck: "It's over."

Ye Xiaojie's eyes flashed with resolve; she suddenly bit her tongue, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the assassin's blade: "Shadow Self-Explosion!"

"Watch out!"

Ming Feng's face changed drastically; a purple shield instantly unfolded.

With a booming roar, black smoke filled the entire arena.

When the smoke cleared, Ye Xiaojie already lay in a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, Haoyang's collar was torn, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Li Yilan staggered forward, shielding Ye Xiaojie behind her; the light of the Unrivaled Emperor Sword dimmed, yet she stubbornly pointed it at the opponent and said, "The battle isn't over yet..."

Ming Feng wiped the blood from his lips, a flicker of annoyance flashing in his eyes: "If you won't drink the toast, you'll drink the penalty!"

He exchanged a glance with Haoyang, and his aura surged once again.

Haoyang's brow blazing sun and the demonic sword in Ming Feng's hand glowed simultaneously; two utterly different forces converged in the air, forming a massive black vortex.

"Demonic Sun Burns the Sky!"

The two shouted in unison; from the vortex shot a pillar of light containing the power to destroy heaven and earth, sweeping toward Li Yilan and Ye Xiaojie.

Li Yilan held Ye Xiaojie tightly, closed her eyes, and prepared to face the final moment.

At the critical moment, a golden light descended from the heavens, severing the pillar of light at its waist.
