Chapter 466

He answered without fear: "We are here to destroy evil beings like you!"

"The Xiuzhen Jie has no need for pests like you."

The Black Prison Venerable gave a cold smile, as if hearing a ridiculous joke.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and a black mass of qi condensed on his icy fingertips.

With a point of his finger, the mass of qi shot rapidly toward Lu Yuan and the others.

The dark sphere, carrying power and destruction, struck Lu Yuan and the others; even before it neared, it already made them feel an astonishing pressure.

They could only feebly resist, caught off guard by the oncoming assault.

Su Liyan's Ice Crystal Long Whip swung even faster, turning into shards of cold light that chopped down, striking the Black Prison Venerable.

Yet against the Black Prison Venerable's defense, as strong as steel, it did not produce a sufficient threat.

"What... what should we do now?"

Su Liyan asked, almost out of breath.

King Qi gripped the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel tightly, resolve and determination flashing in his eyes.

"We cannot give up; we will surely find a way to defeat him."

"Gu Qingwan, do you have any ideas?" Faced with the approaching malevolent force of the Black Prison Venerable, Lu Yuan and the others wore solemn expressions.

They stared eagerly as the Black Prison Venerable's dark sphere drew near, about to unleash destructive power.

Just as the dark sphere approached Lu Yuan and them, the Supreme Dao Ancestor suddenly appeared before everyone.

He wore a golden Dao robe, his demeanor solemn and imposing, like an immovable mountain.

"You evil being! Let's fight!"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor proclaimed mightily, his words revealing endless pressure.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor and the Black Prison Venerable engaged in a fierce duel.

Both displayed lofty immortal arts and divine abilities, causing the entire Nantian Divine Ridge secret realm to tremble violently.

Immortal arts and demonic energy collided, filling the air with ripping sounds and explosions.

Everyone's eyes fixed on the battle scene, their hearts shaken.

They knew only the Supreme Dao Ancestor could turn around the long-standing ailment plaguing the Xiuzhen Jie; he was their sole hope.

"We still have a chance."

Lu Yuan watched the Supreme Dao Ancestor display all his divine abilities without reserve, and said eagerly, "As long as Master can defeat the Black Prison Venerable, our Xiuzhen Jie can regain peace."

Su Liyan gripped her Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, encouraging everyone: "Precisely because the Supreme Dao Ancestor is here, we will become stronger."

"Let us support him and create an opportunity for him to defeat the Black Prison Venerable."

King Qi nodded silently, a resolve unprecedented welling up in his heart.

He gripped the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel tightly, ready to provide support to the team at any critical moment.

Gu Qingwan took a deep breath, her gaze fixed firmly on the battlefield.

"We must find a way to expose the Black Prison Venerable's weakness and seize this opportunity as much as possible." She offered this suggestion.

While Lu Yuan and the others discussed the current situation and countermeasures, the Black Prison Venerable had already approached within killing range.

Suddenly, the Supreme Dao Ancestor's figure appeared before the Black Prison Venerable, brandishing his sword "Nine Heaven Thunder Fire"; blades crossed, thunder and fire scattering.

The battle scene was extraordinarily intense, as both engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

The Black Prison Venerable, with his powerful demonic energy, attempted to destroy everything of the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Dao Ancestor countered with the might of his Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation and the striking power of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

Lu Yuan and the others watched anxiously from the sidelines, feeling the powerful aura emanating from the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

It was a power beyond mortal ken, filling their hearts with unparalleled hope. On the battlefield, the duel between the Supreme Dao Ancestor and the Black Prison Venerable entered a white-hot phase.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor brandished the sword "Nine Heaven Thunder Fire"; each strike was accompanied by a thunderous roar, shattering the dark power into pieces.

The Black Prison Venerable, unwilling to yield, condensed his demonic energy into black vortices that surged toward the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Lu Yuan gripped his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, eyes fixed on the battlefield.

His whole body was bathed in a strange energy, as if he could sense the power of each of the Supreme Dao Ancestor's attacks.

Su Liyan stood beside Lu Yuan, gripping her Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly.

She could feel the power of the cold jade ice flakes on her body gradually gathering, granting her support.

This support and energy gave her great confidence.

Gu Qingwan observed the battle scene with deep eyes.

She knew this was a bitter battle for the Supreme Dao Ancestor, because the Black Prison Venerable was ultimately a powerful and evil being.

She could not help but ponder countermeasures.

King Qi, meanwhile, silently prayed, a boundless fighting spirit rising in his heart.

His Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel glowed with treasure light in his hand, ready to provide support to the team at a critical moment.

Gazing at the battlefield, Lu Yuan could not help but break the silence, saying, "We must find a way to seek the Black Prison Venerable's weakness; only then can we give the Supreme Dao Ancestor maximal support."

His tone was firm, full of confidence.

Su Liyan nodded, "Yes, we need to analyze his behavior patterns and techniques."

"Only by finding his weakness can we buy more time for the Supreme Dao Ancestor."

Gu Qingwan pondered a moment, then said, "Not only that, we can also cooperate by leveraging each of our strengths."

"Combining immortal arts and Fobao might create greater disturbance for the Supreme Dao Ancestor."

King Qi lifted his head to look at the battlefield, "Dealing with the Black Prison Venerable, we cannot be timid."

"As long as we cooperate and find his weakest point, we will surely defeat him!"

As they were discussing the plan, the Supreme Dao Ancestor suddenly flickered, fiercely striking out with a palm toward the Black Prison Venerable.

Black Prison Venerable hastily deployed demonic qi to resist, but could never shake off the Supreme Dao Ancestor's pursuit.

Supreme Dao Ancestor clearly had the upper hand; under his assault, the Black Prison Venerable was in dire straits.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and hope; they believed that as long as the Supreme Dao Ancestor could hold on, they could defeat the Black Prison Venerable.

Sparks flew everywhere on the battlefield, and the air was filled with intersecting arcs and explosion sounds.

The entire Southern Heaven Divine Ridge Secret Realm trembled, as if heralding the arrival of a decisive battle. Lu Yuan and his companions nervously watched the scene of the Supreme Dao Ancestor and the Black Prison Venerable locked in fierce combat.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor wielded the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword; each slash brought thunderous roars, shattering the Black Prison Venerable's continually condensing evil demonic qi.

The Black Prison Venerable gritted his teeth to block the Supreme Dao Ancestor's merciless attacks, but he gradually fell into a passive position.

His strength grew ever weaker, and the demonic qi could no longer be as intense as before.

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, anxiously pondering what to do next. (End of chapter)
