Xie An's gaze dropped, sensing the fist in the distance that seemed to attract all gazes. It was just held normally, yet it was enough to contend with all magic treasures, as well as the chain that tore through the darkness and burned with arrogant black demon flames.

A sword light flew out from his sleeve, slender like a string, tearing through the void.

The Yin wind blew past, and the nine dark holes on the sword light trembled in unison...

The sword string trembled, and the soul trembled along with the sword light. Xie An listened to the sound of heaven and earth, and a heart suddenly rose, resonating with the void.

At this moment, in his eyes, there were only those two old demons. He even forgot about Liu Yu, who was in danger, forgot about the Faceless Demon Monk on the side, and forgot about the Undying Daoist who might be lurking in the dark and would take action at any time...

"Liu Yu is just a discarded piece!"

Just now, in the mirror light of the Western Kunlun Mirror, Qian Chen had said this to Xie An.

"You should know who I am! Li Taibai is my external incarnation. After being seriously injured, I can only barely deal with one Yang Spirit. My true body is at the God-Sacrificing Platform. As long as you and I join forces to delay them for a period of time, my true body can kill its way into the God-Sacrificing Platform. Even if I can't destroy Sima Yan's promotion, I can see through the Demon Sect's most critical layout!"

Xie An was silent, staring at Liu Yu, who was struggling to resist and picking up his silver spear like a long dragon in the sword light, and said in a low voice: "Liu Yu is a soldier under my command! How can this old man bear to abandon him..."

"He inherits the remaining qi of the Shu Han. At most, he will suffer a little, and there will be no major harm!"

"Who can explain the matter of luck clearly? If luck can protect one from disaster, why do you and I cultivate the Dao? It's better to go and join those with great luck!" Xie An said dissatisfiedly.

Qian Chen said calmly: "That's fine. Giving up without trying is not my style... I can block the Faceless Demon Monk and help Liu Yu recover most of his combat power, but Fu Fu Lao Mo and Duan Laogui can only be blocked by you. These two are no small matter. Just now, I was able to escape from their hands, mostly by luck!"

Qian Chen remembered Duan Ya's fist that could break the Heavenly Luo Umbrella, and couldn't help but change his color slightly. Martial arts cultivators like Liu Yu, who valued killing the most, were not his match in one round.

If this person were serious, with his current state, it would be tough!

Fortunately, there is Xie An!

Xie An closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened them. A divine light said awe-inspiringly: "Then this old man will try with you!"

…………

The Sentient Sword slid out, picking up the copper bowl.

Qian Chen looked back suddenly and couldn't help but be slightly shocked by Xie An's current state. This old guy finally brought out his true strength. "The first person of the noble families under Wang Dao", bearing such fame, even if he still remained at the Yang Spirit realm and had not broken through to the Primordial Spirit, how could he be underestimated.

On the Demon Sect side, Duan Ya was faintly stronger than Fu Fu Lao Mo, and Xie An's current strength was faintly stronger than Duan Ya.

And his own Yin Spirit was weakened by 30%. Except for the Sentient Sword, other useful magic treasures were not on him. The true body had to deal with the Demon Sect's layout at the God-Sacrificing Platform with all its strength and could not be distracted. Relying only on this external incarnation's power, even if the state climbed to the peak that could be reached at this moment, and with the Western Kunlun Mirror to borrow the power of the Luo Tian Immortal Artifact, and a sword technique ready to go, dealing with a Yang Spirit who was truly taking action with all his strength... was extremely difficult.

Qian Chen's previous layout was to force the Demon Sect to make a choice: whether to attack and kill his most important target with all their strength, or to guard the God-Sacrificing Platform. No matter which strategy, they would step into Qian Chen's calculations.

Guarding the God-Sacrificing Platform was indeed a dead end, allowing Qian Chen to slowly clear the Demon Sect's layout, gather all his own forces, and then fight a decisive battle; but rashly attacking, Qian Chen could also counter-attack the God-Sacrificing Platform and strike directly at the yellow dragon. However, this required a "discarded piece".

Without the divine will response of the true body, the sword technique of the external incarnation could not exert 60% of its power. Abandoning Liu Yu was also a last resort.

But in Qian Chen's layout, there was still one place undecided, and that was Xie An's strength!

Previous shots could be considered as barely figuring out the strength of the Yang Spirits on the Demon Sect side. Although terrifying, they were also within calculations. But this old man, who had always been kind and gentle and seemed to have no temper, was the one Qian Chen found most difficult to grasp.

Although the two were on the same side, Qian Chen was never used to placing his own hope on other people whose roots he didn't know.

"That's fine. If Xie An can hold on, there is a 40% hope of saving Liu Yu! If I can try, I don't want to give up... After all, I am also a member of the righteous path!"

Qian Chen spat out a turbid breath and returned his floating heart lake to calm. All kinds of calculations were still being presided over by the true body. Even though this external incarnation was refined by the strongest Wisdom Wolf King, the real gap with the Yang Spirit was still on the soul.

After all, the external incarnation did not have the blessing of the Dao Dust Bead!

At this moment, the true body had no time to attend to it, so he could only concentrate on dealing with the Faceless Demon Monk.

In the darkness, a black sun rose, but no light tore through the darkness to illuminate this place. On that black sun, pitch-black flames flowed, making the surrounding shadows like oil, becoming a "black" with texture.

The dense darkness and the arrogant sun suddenly gave people a sense of being irresistible.

Boundless demon fire sprayed out from the sun, winding into chains. Finally, a chain hooked the sun and smashed the pitch-black sun down. The black sun turned into a short-handled giant axe, instantly crossing a thousand zhang.

The flying axe slashed towards Xie An with the momentum of destroying everything and being irresistible.

Ten Absolute Sun Demon Path—Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe Change!

The hunting fire light was like dancing darkness, and the pitch-black demon fire was like a crazy demon.

Every wisp of demon fire carried the Yin poison of a maggot on the tarsal bone, burning the void until it collapsed! Wisps of demon fire wound around the short-handled giant axe, setting it off as if cast from black iron, ferocious and fierce, carrying extreme sharpness. The axe shadow manifested in the black sun, and like a black hole, swallowed the void and tore everything.

In front of the axe shadow, paths of spatial cracks appeared, constantly breaking and healing with the waving of the axe blade.

Under this axe, the Yang Spirit could hardly resist, and all tangible and intangible things would be destroyed.

Xie An raised his head slightly. Reflected in his eyes was the giant axe, growing ever larger until it occupied every glimmer of light in his vision. He swung the Nine-Tone Sword of Order in his hand.

This strange-shaped flying sword was ancient and elegant. The sword edge was wavy, and there were nine flickering, seemingly virtual and real, like nine mixed holes on it. Each hole was of different sizes, and it seemed that there was a universe inside.

The sword light trembled, emitting invisible heavenly sound ripples, sweeping everything. At this moment, even the invisible demon fire vibrated with the sound waves. The fluctuations swept across the axe shadow, seemingly directly penetrating the yuan qi particles that made up the demon fire, and probing into the intense Yin-Yang changes of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe Change.

With the sweep of the sound waves, all fluctuations were collected in Xie An's heart.

The Nine-Tone Sword of Order slashed out immediately. The sword qi vibrating from its nine apertures resonated, shattering the yuan qi structure of the demonic fire and dissipating all transformations of yuan qi.

Except for Xie An himself, only Qian Chen, who had realized the Xiyi Divine Thunder and realized some changes in the thunder sound, could see the subtlety of this sword. Others, even the Yang Spirit of the Demon Sect, could only see that with this horizontal slash, the arrogant and fierce demon fire was silently extinguished in the direction of the sword blade.

With one sword slash, a blank space appeared in the arrogant sea of fire...

The chains formed by the demon fire, like a net of heaven and earth sealing the void, were also constantly disintegrating with a clattering sound!

The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe Change was extremely powerful, and even a Yang Spirit of the same rank could hardly block its edge. But the only flaw of this move was that the speed of activation was somewhat slow, so it needed that infinite chain net to trap the enemy first, and then hit with the axe. It was hard for anyone to survive!

At this moment, Xie An's heavenly sound sword qi disintegrated the net first, creating space for him to turn and move.

Under the light and elegant sword light, even though the structure of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was extremely strong and could not be easily disintegrated by the heavenly sound sword qi, one sword was not enough, there was a second sword, two swords were not enough, there were three or four swords. With hundreds of heavenly sound sword qi brushing down, no matter how strong the supernatural power was, it would be destroyed!

At this time, Duan Ya, who had been waiting for a long time, took action.

He clenched his fists and smashed them down like a falling meteorite, sealing all the changes of Xie An's movement, covering all the space in front of him, forcing him to retreat to the distance and bear the joint attack of the axe and the fist.

And at this moment, Qian Chen flicked his long sword lightly, and the Xiyi Divine Thunder erupted. The heavenly sound sword qi and the Xiyi Divine Thunder crossed the void, instantly covering the void within tens of miles.

With a single horizontal slash of his flying sword, Xie An shattered the Xiyi Divine Thunder. He transformed the broken thunderous sound into ten thousand strands of Heavenly Tone sword qi. In an instant, countless invisible and colorless strands of Heavenly Tone sword qi crisscrossed, slicing through the space and playing a mysterious symphony of Heavenly Tone music.

At this time, Xie An's figure had disappeared. Duan Ya's fist smashed into the empty space, shattering those dense and weak sword qi.

The next moment, the sword qi tore through the void. The light of the Nine-Tone Sword of Order, carrying Xie An's figure, emerged from the void beside him, and a sharp strand of Heavenly Tone sword qi slashed out.

"Sword Light Movement, Instant Sword Technique!"

Duan Ya shouted out the mystery of Xie An's sword. His body stood in the darkness, and his momentum soared. The half-immortal body that had gone through nine heavenly tribulations soared in the eyes of Xie An and Qian Chen, as majestic as connecting to the sky. His whole body was like beautiful jade, with Taiyin qi contained within, almost perfect. Only the top of his head had a line of darkness, like a crack in the transparent jade.

This almost perfect physique was wrapped in the phase of destruction.

Heavenly thunder, earthly fire, Yin wind, weak water... nine strange yuan qi were wrapped around it, which seemed to be the traces left by the heavy tribulations on him. But any supernatural power belonging to these nine yuan qi, as long as it had not exceeded the heavenly tribulation that Duan Ya had endured, would cause him no harm.

Fortunately, the attributes of the heavenly sound sword qi were strange and not among these nine!

At this time, Qian Chen could no longer help Xie An, and the Faceless Evil Monk carried the copper bowl and fought with him.

Lotus flowers bloomed at the tip of the sword, but they were easily extinguished under the copper bowl.

Faceless laughed loudly, the sound echoing in the void, as if coming from the darkness in all directions, shaking his mind.

"This is the Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge, this is the Green Lotus Sword Qi you rely on to roam the world? Ridiculous... If we hadn't brought out our true skills just now, how would it be your turn to have a chance to escape!"

Faceless Demon Monk gave a violent shout, and countless strange Zen chanting sounds erupted from the copper bowl. Behind him appeared the phases of the Black Buddha and the Mingfei Heavenly Maiden. For a time, infinite light and color turned, and the canopy representing the confusion of all phenomena in the world shrouded his head.

As the Zen chanting sounds turned, the phenomena around Qian Chen shattered under the rotation of the canopy. All external appearances were reorganized, as if the shapes of things were broken and pieced together randomly.

"No appearance, chaotic appearance!"

In Qian Chen's eyes, all shapes in the world had lost their meaning.

His perception of things was suddenly split, and he was completely unable to correctly recognize all things. The Sentient Sword in his hand, and even himself, had become strange shapes pieced together by countless fragments.

"If the Dao Dust Bead were here, all attacks on the soul would just be apricot blossoms and spring rain. But after leaving the Dao Dust Bead, it is very terrifying!"

Qian Chen said faintly in his heart. He closed his five senses and only listened to the sword in his hand.

The sword light trembled, and the heavenly sound sword qi resonated with the Sentient Sword, forming a somewhat blurry but more concise and clear image in his heart.

Qian Chen slashed out with one sword, shattering the demon banner swept by Faceless.

Faceless was suddenly startled: "Didn't you already close your five senses? Even if you didn't close them, how could you see the truth clearly under the confusion?"

Xie An slashed through Duan Ya's half-immortal body with one sword, and the sword light split the heavenly thunder, earthly fire, Yin wind... The sharpness of the heavenly sound sword qi actually slashed open Duan Ya's tyrannical physical body, cutting a one-inch deep blood wound. He even had time to look back at Qian Chen, turning everything perceived by the heavenly sound sword qi into vibrations and transmitting them to Qian Chen's Sentient Sword.

"Ten Absolute Demon Sun Lingers in the World, Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe Breaks the Sea Change!"

Old Demon Fu pulled the chain, and the short-handled giant axe was like a meteor, sweeping across under the traction of the chain. Where the axe blade passed, the void split, presenting cracks like mirror surfaces. Where the cracks passed, everything was split, spreading directly to where Qian Chen, Liu Yu, and Xie An were.

The crisscrossing axe marks seemed to want to shred everything.

Xie An could no longer eliminate this axe mark like disintegrating demon fire, because demon fire was transformed by a specific structure of yuan qi Yin-Yang changes, a kind of substance composed of yuan qi. But the current axe mark was a crack produced by the destruction of the void!

The resonance of the heavenly sound sword qi could disturb the yuan qi structure and disintegrate all substances, but it could not disintegrate spatial cracks on the basis of spatial destruction.

Because what has already been destroyed cannot be destroyed again.

If it were in the Earth Immortal Realm, relying on Old Demon Fu's supernatural power, it would be far from enough to destroy the void. But in the cave heaven world where space was more fragile, it became possible.

Xie An brandished the Nine-Tone Sword of Order, weaving countless melodious strands of Heavenly Tone sword qi into a symphony that resonated with heaven and earth, attempting to reinforce the surrounding spatial structure. However, Duan Ya's fists gathered countless strands of Taiyin cold qi, resembling the massive icebergs of the Taiyin Star from the primordial era. With one punch, then two, he used force to break through finesse, smashing into the very core of the formation woven by the Heavenly Tone sword qi. Instantly, the melody lost its form... The combined power of two Yang Spirit masters was by no means as simple as one plus one.

The subtle cooperation of Yang Spirit powerhouses often allowed them to join forces to put much stronger powerhouses of the same realm at a disadvantage.

Just at this time, Qian Chen had already slashed through Faceless's canopy, the sword light turned into a rainbow, and the sword qi swung out, manifesting layers of green lotus petals—"Without the guidance of the true body's divine will and the suppression of demon thoughts, it is somewhat difficult to cast this move. After all, this is a move that transcends my current realm... But with the help of the Luo Tian world, it is not impossible to succeed!"

Qian Chen's heart was set, the sword light in his hand led the green lotus to float, looked directly at the Faceless Demon Monk and said: "Monk, don't you want to see the real Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge?"

"Then take a look at this sword!"

"Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds, the feudal lords—all come from the west!"

The Western Kunlun Mirror turned behind Qian Chen, and a mirror light shone on the blade of the Sentient Sword. The sword light was as clear as a mirror, reflecting an unspeakably magnificent world.

It seemed to be held in the palm of a half-human, half-dragon demon god. The demon god suddenly opened his eyes, and the condensed sword light slashed out. Everything around was suddenly split in two by the sword light, and the whole world was split open by the sword light.

The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe collided with the sword light. Old Demon Fu was shocked to see that the divine axe was also split flat.

The three old demons keenly sensed that the sword mark was not a spatial crack, but a world.

Luo Tian descends...

Leading Yu Jiuyou to fall from heaven!

The crisscrossing power of the heavens immediately reshaped the entire space, and the spatial cracks completely disappeared at the intersection of Yu Jiuyou and the cave heaven. As that line of sword marks split open, darkness surged out from it.

From this line, the entire cave heaven began to have distorted time, day and night reversed, and darkness descended within this line.

This was not the Earth Immortal Realm where Yu Jiuyou could not descend, but the country without sun—Zhu Long Cave Heaven, where Yu Jiuyou controlled the night!

The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, the remaining canopy, and the ancient cold qi on Duan Ya's fist were all swallowed by this line of cracks. As the darkness surged out, everyone fell into the night of Yu Jiuyou, and at the same time lost the traces of others...

Qian Chen and Xie An found the positions of the three old demons through sword sound resonance, and the two joined forces to drag the three into the deepest part of Yu Jiuyou. The sword light crisscrossed in the darkness, making the approaching Yu Jiuyou demon creatures roar repeatedly. The demon fire chains, fists, and distorted Buddha-door eight treasures also emitted earth-shattering vibrations, constantly roaring in the deepest part of the darkness.

The Western Kunlun Mirror did not fall into the darkness with Qian Chen, but flew into Liu Yu's arms. He heard a crisp female voice like a silver bell in his ear.

"I will add magic power to you, run quickly! Yan Yan Shixiong and the others can't hold on for too long!"

Liu Yu was slightly distracted, and suddenly felt a vast magic power surge from the Western Kunlun Mirror, and a circle of divine light floated behind his head. Divine power wrapped around, fixing his broken joints, and tyrannical magic power surged in, slowly calming his injuries.

Liu Yu hurriedly cupped his fists: "Thank you, Princess!"

"Go quickly, I will use the Western Kunlun Mirror to meet you!"

The ancient bronze mirror turned, and the mirror light shone on the road ahead. At this time, the dense forest of corpses around surged, and countless refined corpses rushed towards Liu Yu like the sea, looking particularly ferocious under the reflection of the Western Kunlun Mirror.

The female voice in the mirror exclaimed: "Those demons really left a backup... Now that Yan Yan Shixiong and the others have held back the three old demons, they can't spare their hands either. The rest is up to you!"

Liu Yu gripped the long spear in his hand tightly, threw the big black man into the mirror light, and said firmly: "Xie Gong and Taibai have already saved me once. This time, Jinu will have his own edge and will not let the Princess down!" ===== CHAPTER 465 =====
