Chapter 593

And when this sword Qi successfully struck the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, the array became somewhat illusory under the force of the strike.

It even began to tremble, as if it could no longer maintain its current state.

After a moment, a crisp sound suddenly emerged from above the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array.

Then, cracks appeared across the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, and finally, unable to hold its form any longer, it transformed into a wisp of flowing light and entered Xiaolongnü's body.

The terrifying sword Qi released by Dugu Qiubai, having shattered the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, showed no signs of weakening as it streaked straight across the sky.

In an instant, the dark clouds covering the entire sky were sliced open by the sword Qi released by Dugu Qiubai, leaving a massive gap.

The sight at this moment was a profound shock to the visual nerves of all who beheld it.

If anyone were to see this scene now, they would inevitably exclaim in wonder.

The sky has been split open!!!!

In truth, with Dugu Qiubai's true strength, tearing the sky apart briefly would be a very easy task.

It is just that experts like Dugu Qiubai generally do not easily shatter the elements, the sky, or the earth of the world they inhabit.

Once these things are destroyed, it would cause repercussions across the entire Nine Provinces; although they do not fear this, the disasters caused by their impact on the Nine Provinces would lead to the deaths of common people.

All of this karmic debt would be counted against them.

The reason Dugu Qiubai's current strike could only tear through the dark clouds is that he had already suppressed his strength to the Land Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm.

If he had released that same attack at the peak perfection of the Land Immortal*Heavenly Immortal Realm, his sword Qi could have filled the entire firmament.

Furthermore, Dugu Qiubai could have directly carved a true abyss into the sky!

Xiaolongnü naturally saw that terrifying sword strike from Dugu Qiubai just now.

Now, Xiaolongnü only has one move left to deal with Dugu Qiubai, and that is the "Ghost-Slaying Slash" that Ying Ziyu taught her before!

If this move still fails to force Dugu Qiubai to truly draw his sword, then Xiaolongnü will have no other options.

"Senior Dugu, be careful!"

"Now I am going to use the strongest sword technique I can muster—Ghost-Slaying Slash!"

"Once I release this move, I will not be able to hold back my power at will!"

Xiaolongnü forcibly channeled the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array within her into the Immortal-Slaying Sword, then gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and spoke to Dugu Qiubai.

Standing in place, Dugu Qiubai heard Xiaolongnü's words and, upon sensing the unique aura of the "Ghost-Slaying Slash," he set aside the relaxed posture he had maintained until now.

Subsequently, he finally lifted the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword from his back.

Years ago, when Dugu Qiubai fought Ying Ziyu, he was defeated by this very move.

Now, after years of researching the Ghost-Slaying Slash and reflecting on that battle, Dugu Qiubai would absolutely not be defeated by this move again!

The move Xiaolongnü is about to release is the very sword technique Ying Ziyu taught her, specifically designed to counter the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

This time, to deal with Dugu Qiubai, Xiaolongnü prepares to use the second form of the True Sword Technique—Ghost-Slaying Slash!

This is the move Xiaolongnü is most proficient in among the four forms of the True Sword Technique!

In an instant, strands of biting sword Qi began to swirl around Xiaolongnü.

Endless internal energy poured into the Immortal-Slaying Sword, causing it to shine with a brilliant light, a radiance so intense it seemed as if it would pierce the heavens.

Terrifying sword intent radiated from Xiaolongnü and the body of the Immortal-Slaying Sword; this aura caused even someone as powerful as Dugu Qiubai to raise his eyebrows.

Xiaolongnü held the Immortal-Slaying Sword vertically before her, drew her left hand gently across it, and began to chant the incantation for the Ghost-Slaying Slash:

"Righteous energy of heaven and earth, enduring and vast; I do not seek to slay immortals, but I shall slay ghosts and gods!"

In an instant, the dark clouds that had been shattered by Dugu Qiubai once again shrouded the entire desert.

Endless thunder surged within the dark clouds in the sky.

The entire desert seemed unable to withstand Xiaolongnü's sword move at this moment, beginning to tremble.

Endless wild winds swept up the yellow sand, transforming into towering tornadoes.

As the incantation ended, the Immortal-Slaying Sword erupted with a deep, resonant hum, and a massive sword that reached from the earth to the heavens appeared before Xiaolongnü!

Dugu Qiubai felt the power erupting from within Xiaolongnü, and at this moment, the blood in his body finally began to boil.

The fighting spirit in his eyes burned like a raging fire.

The wild winds of the desert whipped his clothes frantically, but at this moment, a smile from the depths of his heart appeared on Dugu Qiubai's face!

This is the Ghost-Slaying Slash he has been waiting for!
