Chapter 29: The Demon Lord Became My Artifact Spirit?
"Hmph." Jun Tianling let out a cold snort.
Two Black Arrows shot out from her hands, circling in the air before piercing toward the two Tianwu Sect disciples.
Seeing this, the two Tianwu Sect disciples immediately raised their swords to block.
But they did not expect that these Black Arrows would pierce directly through the Dharma Artifacts in their hands, snapping them in two.
The blade-wielding black-robed man was stabbed through the stomach, and the sword-wielding black-robed man was slashed on the arm.
The two Black Arrows then circled back, swaying behind Jun Tianling like two thin tails.
"If I can't deal with him, can't I deal with you lot?"
Jun Tianling sneered in her heart.
Even if she was only at Nascent Soul Great Perfection now, she was no ordinary Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
Even if a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator stood before her, she had the ability to kill across realms, let alone mere Nascent Soul cultivators.
"A Bao!"
Seeing the blade-wielding black-robed man's stomach pierced, Tu Wan cried out in worry, knowing this injury was certainly not light.
"Saintess, do not panic! Try your best to steady your mind!"
A Bao clutched the bloody hole in his stomach, his expression pained beneath his mask.
He tried his best to heal his wounds, but the injury seemed poisonous; it showed no signs of healing at all and was even spreading.
"This arrow is poisonous..."
The other black-robed man also grabbed his own arm, discovering that he could no longer lift it.
They just couldn't understand: the old man could easily block or even deflect those attacks, so why couldn't they?
How could even the Treasure Grade Dharma Artifacts in their hands be so fragile?
"Die."
Jun Tianling did not waste words; with a slight movement of her fingers, the Black Arrows trailing behind her struck at the two again.
Seeing this, the two immediately tried to dodge.
These Black Arrows were connected to Jun Tianling's fingers; as long as she moved her fingers slightly, the Black Arrows danced in the air at will.
Everywhere they went, the Black Arrows pierced one pit after another.
The sword-wielding black-robed man was fine, but A Bao, having been pierced through the stomach, was struggling to dodge.
"You lecherous old man! Old man, hurry and help them!"
Seeing this, Tu Wan grew anxious and looked at Jiang Xun, who was standing motionless in place.
Jiang Xun felt helpless; he wanted to move, but Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun were right behind him. If he moved, they would be done for.
"A Hong, I leave the Saintess in your care!"
Seeing that he could no longer dodge, A Bao shouted at A Hong and lunged forward in a sprint.
His figure flickered in and out of sight before everyone, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jun Tianling: "Let's perish together!"
A Bao circulated his internal energy, directing all of it toward his inner core, and a barrier appeared around him, preparing to embrace Jun Tianling and self-destruct within the barrier.
"A Bao!"
Seeing this, Tu Wan widened her eyes and stood up directly from the ground; it was clear that the two guards, A Bao and A Hong, had a truly good relationship with her.
However, a mouthful of blood sprayed out immediately after.
Seeing this, A Hong hurriedly pressed Tu Wan back to the ground, channeling energy into her back to help her steady her mind.
"Vermin."
Jun Tianling looked at A Bao's reaching hand with disgust, her brows furrowed tightly. With a slight movement of her fingers, the two Black Arrows struck instantly.
The Black Arrows attacked A Bao's entire body, piercing countless transparent holes through him in an instant like a needle passing through fabric.
A Bao did not care about this at this moment; he grabbed Jun Tianling's wrist, his broken body erupting with formidable internal energy.
The barrier enveloped them both.
The self-destruction of a Nascent Soul cultivator was no joke.
"Boom!"
The next moment, A Bao's entire body exploded; there was a mess of flesh and blood within the barrier, and the entire great hall shook.
If Tu Wan were not here, A Bao would never have set up this barrier.
"Disgusting."
Just when everyone thought Jun Tianling and Tu Wan had perished together, they heard Jun Tianling's voice filled with disgust.
The barrier dissipated, and A Bao's flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground.
There was a black sphere inside the barrier; as the black sphere dissipated, it revealed an unscathed Jun Tianling.
Inside the black sphere, there was also a severed arm lying at Jun Tianling's feet, which she crushed into a pulp with one step.
That was A Bao's arm, which had been severed by Jun Tianling.
Tu Wan had no time to grieve, because she saw Jiang Xun make his move!
Jiang Xun used all his might to rush behind Jun Tianling and slashed down with his sword.
He had been waiting for such an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Jun Tianling sensed something was wrong and hurriedly used the black barrier to block again.
Who would have thought that the Liu Hong Sword would split the barrier into pieces with a single strike.
"A Saint Grade Dharma Artifact!"
Jun Tianling was stunned; what kind of background did this old man have?
Seeing the blade reach her, Jun Tianling hardened her heart and directly dispersed her cultivation technique.
The Space Lockdown and the Divine Soul Attack from the others dissipated accordingly.
Everyone felt a huge sigh of relief.
Opening his eyes, he saw Jiang Xun slash down with his sword; Jun Tianling's soul was struck by the sword, scattering into nothingness.
"Dead?"
Zhuo Yang looked at the disappearing Jun Tianling and said in disbelief.
"The Space Lockdown is gone! The soul has also dissipated! It seems he is dead."
Cao Zhangqing looked around and said, while simultaneously hurrying to stand up and run to Long Qingxin's side.
Upon checking, Long Qingxin was indeed already completely devoid of life.
Everyone thought Jun Tianling's soul had been slain by Jiang Xun, but Jiang Xun knew it was not so.
There was Demonic Qi on the Liu Hong Sword...
Jun Tianling's soul had burrowed into the Liu Hong Sword and become its Artifact Spirit...
"Kid, take me out; don't force me to fight you to the death."
Jun Tianling's voice reached Jiang Xun's ears through the Liu Hong Sword.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun immediately put the Liu Hong Sword away to prevent others from noticing any issues.
"Junior sister... oh, junior sister! Junior brother!"
Cao Zhangqing sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the two corpses before him, and sighed deeply.
Lin Feng also looked at Jiang Che's corpse and closed his eyes, easing his own pain.
"Junior sister Li..."
Hua Bairui held Li Wanqing in her arms, using her hands to gently tidy Li Wanqing's messy hair, trying her best to keep her remains in a clean state.
"Master, are you alright?"
Sensing that the attacks on their divine souls had ceased, Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun also stood up and ran to Jiang Xun's side.
"No harm done."
Jiang Xun nodded, looking at the corpses covering the ground.
If he were to save anyone, it would naturally be Long Qingxin; after all, among these corpses, only Long Qingxin was a Child of Luck.
Boom...
At this moment, the throne collapsed and shattered with a boom, and a downward passage appeared before everyone.
"The treasury is down there, kid. Empty it out; it will be beneficial for both you and me."
Jun Tianling's voice rang out in Jiang Xun's mind again.
"I've already put the sword away, big sister, where are you talking to me from?"
Jiang Xun was also completely confused.
"This sword of yours has already been blood-bound to you and is connected to your divine soul; as long as the sword is not broken, I can communicate with you."
Jun Tianling's voice contained a smile, and this soft laugh was actually extremely pleasant to hear.
"Where are your Storage Ring or Storage Bag?"
Since Jun Tianling was already on him, Jiang Xun naturally went straight for the best.
He hadn't seen Jun Tianling wearing a ring during the battle just now, nor did it look like she had a Storage Bag on her.
"There is a crystal coffin behind the main hall where my corpse lies, perfectly preserved. Rest assured, the Barrier there can only be opened by me; you can go to the treasury first."
Jun Tianling said.
