Chapter 445: Di Thirteen (Fourth Update)

And just after the two leaders of the Ten Sect Alliance were easily slaughtered, this fragile alliance relationship shattered once again, just as it had before.

"What kind of monster is that? Run, run, run! Hurry and flee for your lives!"

"But, but what about the alliance?"

"How many lives do you have!? Why worry about so much? Staying alive is what matters most!"

Aside from the two in the Void Refining Realm, when that figure disappeared, their palm also seemed to brush casually across the shoulder of a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Then, half of that Spirit Transformation cultivator's body vanished, as if gnawed away by a giant beast; although they did not die instantly on the spot, they were so terrified that they had no other thoughts at all...

The surviving members scattered and fled, terrified of being targeted by that mysterious figure.

From appearance to disappearance, the figure took no more than five breaths of time, yet took the lives of two top-tier powerhouses.

What a terrifying battle record!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

And just as they were scattering and fleeing, Yu Yu also could not control herself and began to cough violently, and then another figure gradually emerged from her body.

Whoosh—

Li Lingling was peeled out from her body, gasping for breath with great effort.

"Ha, ah..."

The two looked at each other, both with faces full of exhaustion and haggardness, but their eyes held irrepressible excitement.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister! We did it! We really did it!"

Li Lingling hugged Yu Yu and spun her around twice, unable to stop her excitement at all.

"Mm, mm!"

In fact, this was the first time they had truly achieved a successful fusion after practicing Colorful Phoenix One Heart.

Before this, their fusion had always been only half successful, or even less than half.

At this moment, they deeply realized the meaning of what Jian Xinxin had said—that it could only be honed in moments of crisis.

Under the immense pressure given to them by the Ten Sect Alliance, they successfully surpassed their past selves and reached a brand-new height.

Yet, amidst the excitement, they felt even more lingering fear.

While Colorful Phoenix One Heart could greatly enhance their combat power, the consumption was also unexpectedly astonishing.

It reached an exaggerated level; in a total of ten breaths of time, the two of them had exhausted over eighty percent of the Dharma Power within their bodies.

Of course, perhaps part of this was because their own cultivation realms were too low.

If that figure hadn't appeared just now, they might have already fallen into the hands of those people.

"Who was that just now? It didn't seem like Senior Brother Jian..."

Although the other party appeared mysteriously and disappeared just as quickly, it was still possible to see that they were very different from Jian Xinxin; the back of the figure with a head of white hair left a deep impression on them.

"I don't know, perhaps it was another backup plan prepared by Senior Brother Jian?"

These two naive girls still thought until now that Jian Xinxin was dutifully guarding by their side.

With Senior Brother there to hold the line and provide support, the psychological pressure on the two was not that great.

However, after seeing the miserable state of those two disgusting fellows, the two girls' moods still changed slightly.

Even though they disliked them very much, the people who were just talking to them a moment ago had vanished in the blink of an eye, with hundreds of years of cultivation turned to ash; such an impact, after witnessing it with their own eyes, still made one shudder.

They felt a certain statement more intuitively.

Cultivation is about contention; it is about killing.

If I do not kill you, you will kill me.

"..."

Yu Yu was silent; she seemed to understand something, but it also seemed she understood nothing at all.

Or rather, she somewhat did not want herself to understand.

Li Lingling felt it was alright; she had been accustomed to such scenes since she was small, so her feelings were not very deep.

She wrapped her arms around her Senior Sister's small shoulders, took her along to stretch, and naturally changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, I think I saw a guy among that group just now; he felt somewhat familiar."

Li Lingling touched her chin, somewhat doubting her own intuition.

"Do you know him?"

"No, I don't know him, but that guy looked shifty-eyed; I just feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

It was strange.

"Forget it, let him run if he ran; anyway, we've already given them a very unforgettable lesson."

"..."

At this moment, in the dense forest not far from them, Li Yiyi looked displeased.

"No, why did I run! I, I..."

Li Yiyi discovered a fact that made him feel sad.

When fleeing just now, he was the one whose movements were the most nimble and practiced.

Instinctively wanting to escape from Li Lingling's hands.

No, why!

I, I'm not unable to beat her!

"Hmph, a good man doesn't fight with women; I'm definitely not afraid of her! Next time, if there is a next time, we'll see!"

Li Yiyi ultimately did not have the courage to turn back and settle the score; it wasn't that he was afraid of Li Lingling—that woman was nothing to be afraid of—he was merely afraid of being accidentally injured by that mysterious white-haired person.

Yes, that's it.

"Speaking of which, the Butian Alliance's mission this time can be considered finished, right?"

I told him to come, and he came; I told him to disguise himself, and he cooperated.

Now, as long as he does not voluntarily withdraw, he can hide in a corner and start slacking off.

But just as Li Yiyi was preparing to find a place where no one would check to hide, the Jade Pendant in his bosom began to vibrate, and the voice of Di Si entered his mind.

【"Di Thirteen! Can you hear me? Di Thirteen!"】

【"Come to the Heaven Gate immediately!"】

【"Did you hear me? I don't care what method you use to get away, come to the Heaven Gate immediately!"】

Di Thirteen, this was the codename Li Yiyi obtained from Di Si, ranking thirteenth under the Di Envoy.

Li Yiyi frowned deeply, very much wanting to just pretend he hadn't heard, but after hesitating for a moment, he sighed helplessly and probed his divine sense into it.

"My lord, what has happened?"

【"People from the Southern Border Divine Dynasty have arrived! This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!"】

"The Southern Border Divine Dynasty? How could they come to participate in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition?"

【"What is there to be surprised about? Don't talk so much nonsense, just come when you're told! They will inevitably clash with others, and that will be the time for us to find an opportunity to act."】

"..."

Li Yiyi's brows furrowed even tighter; Di Si thought it was a good opportunity, but he instinctively felt that this did not seem like a very good situation.

"What on earth is..."

By the time the Southern Border Divine Dynasty arrived, they discovered that the Heaven Gate was already in a state of chaos.

Fallen flowers covered the ground, broken petals carpeting the entire area, masking the sword marks on the ground that looked as if they had been plowed.

Zang Zhenyu frowned and sensed the area, discovering that these fallen flowers were not physical objects, but came from a single powerful cultivator.

"Hey, what happened here?"

Li Qiushui, who was called out to, did not even lift her eyelids, showing no reaction at all.

At this moment, she was immersed in those three stunning sword strikes from just before, replaying them over and over in her mind.

"Sword..."
