Chapter 305: This Is What You Asked For

"Delusional! Even if I were to self-destruct and perish, I would absolutely never let you, this fiend, benefit!"

Hearing this, Xiaoxian bit down hard on her teeth, feeling her blood and Qi surging; the suddenly erupting Spiritual Power left her somewhat overwhelmed, yet she gritted her teeth and persisted.

Lanbo's offensive, however, grew increasingly fierce, grazing past Xiaoxian's head several times, which she only managed to dodge by bracing her spirit.

Suddenly, Xiaoxian's spirit went into a trance, and Lanbo's figure completely vanished; by the time she turned back around, Lanbo's claws were already right before her eyes.

Those claws were covered in thick black Qi, even wreathed in a bloodthirsty aura—all sinister and terrifying energies; if caught by this claw, not only would her Dao heart be thrown into chaos, but she would even suffer severe contamination.

But Xiaoxian was already unable to dodge in time; she unleashed her raging fire, wanting to take this palm strike head-on.

Unfortunately, she failed.

The raging fire was dispersed by the dense black Qi, which then struck toward her face with an unstoppable momentum, even faster than before.

At the critical moment, a sword flashing with cold light suddenly stood before the black Qi.

Immediately following, Xiaoxian was forcibly pulled away from her original position, and that sword then took the opportunity to slash toward Lanbo's hand.

Lanbo's arrogant smile stiffened on his face, and because he was completely unprepared, he was forced to take two steps back.

Yi Zhuyue looked coldly at Lanbo, one hand still shielding Xiaoxian while the other gripped the sword, trembling slightly; although she had Xiaoxian's help, that last strike had not been easy for her to block, and the web between her thumb and forefinger was still numb.

"What kind of skill is it to bully the weak with your strength?"

Yi Zhuyue said coldly, her hair moving with the wind, the bell tied to her face emitting a crisp, pleasant sound.

"Sister Zhuyue."

Xiaoxian looked at Yi Zhuyue with teary eyes, her pair of eyes red, as if she had suffered a great grievance, yet she stubbornly refused to let herself cry.

Yi Zhuyue stroked Xiaoxian's head; although she did not speak, her actions seemed to be saying: Don't be afraid, I am here.

"You certainly know how to play the hero, but even if the two of you join forces, you still cannot defeat this seat; go ahead and bring it on, this seat will let you know that ants are, in the end, just ants!"

Lanbo could not help but let out a cold snort, his eyes finally carrying a hint of seriousness.

Standing before him now were two at the Half-step Great Emperor Realm; he himself was only a Half-step Great Emperor, merely relying on the fact that he had consumed enough essence blood to have strength superior to theirs.

If the two of them were together, he truly did not have the certainty of being able to defeat them one hundred percent.

Thinking of this, Lanbo suddenly let out a loud shout.

At the same time, the entire sky grew even gloomier, and the snow-moon in the sky became increasingly scarlet, as if reflecting Lanbo's mood, emitting a deep red light.

Black Qi surged around Lanbo's body, and blood flowed incessantly; a long, black blade suddenly appeared at his chest, and he gripped that blade, forcibly pulling it out.

In an instant, the surrounding world seemed to change color, and with his movements, the nearby space began to distort.

A sword forged entirely from black crystal appeared, its body covered in dense, blood-red patterns, with a bat embedded at the hilt, its fangs being two red gemstones.

Lanbo walked slowly for two steps; with every step he took, the black Qi on the ground grew heavier, eventually almost condensing into a solid form.

He revealed a sinister and terrifying smile and said: "You should feel very honored; since coming here, this is the first time this seat has summoned the Xuanxue Sword." The Xuanxue Sword!?

The crowd's gazes were involuntarily filled with horror.

Legend has it that the Xuanxue Sword is the life-bound spirit sword of a Demon Ancestor in the Tianxuan Continent; this sword is an inherently evil object, possessing extremely powerful evil energy, and furthermore, every one of its masters has been a heinous villain.

Although this sword is of Divine Grade, using it burns one's life and contaminates the heart; only those on evil paths would master it, and likewise, its power is extremely formidable.

Legend has it that those attacked by the Xuanxue Sword will see the things they fear most in their hearts; not only that, but the wounds inflicted by the Xuanxue Sword cannot heal for a short time, and in the end, the victim can only bleed to death.

Seeing Lanbo wave it lightly, a deep black sword Qi was instantly unleashed, continuously expanding until it actually sliced half of a distant mountain peak clean off.

Su Chen and the others felt very heavy-hearted; even though it was not swung toward them, the aftermath still affected them, and Natasha, who had already been injured, could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Shen's complexion was even paler, her body swaying as if about to fall.

Su Chen had the Divine Dragon Martial Soul protecting his body, barely able to steady himself, but he still felt a deep fear enveloping him.

Xiaoxian and Yi Zhuyue looked at each other, both seeing fear in the other's eyes.

Yet Lanbo did not give them a chance to catch their breath, and wielding the sword, he attacked the two of them.

Although Lanbo was very powerful now, he was, after all, fighting two people alone, and for a time, the three of them actually fought to a draw.

In the end, because of the coordination between Xiaoxian and Yi Zhuyue, Lanbo actually suffered several secret losses.

Xiaoxian's flames were inherently extremely restrictive to people like Lanbo, and with Yi Zhuyue having been at the Half-step Great Emperor level for a long time—only having her cultivation suppressed—the few of them were truly fighting back and forth.

"This is what you asked for."

Lanbo sneered, suddenly pointing the Xuanxue Sword straight at the firmament; immediately, dense black Qi poured continuously into the Xuanxue Sword, and even the moonlight energy from the blood-red moon was, without exception, absorbed by the Xuanxue Sword.

At this moment, the Xuanxue Sword radiated a terrifying luster, as if buzzing with excitement from receiving such powerful energy.

Seeing Lanbo suddenly swing his sword toward Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian hurriedly dodged and took the opportunity to spit out a mouthful of Dragon Flame, while Yi Zhuyue also quickly raised her blade and went over, hacking toward the back of Lanbo's neck.

Lanbo hurriedly dodged, but caught off guard, he had a piece of his robe sliced off.

To him, this was undoubtedly a provocation, and he immediately began to target Yi Zhuyue with a ferocious expression.

Fighting two against one, especially at this level of cultivation, the slightest mistake would lead to a situation of total destruction.

Lanbo had wanted to deal with Xiaoxian first, but Yi Zhuyue would take the opportunity to interfere with her in every way possible.

Yi Zhuyue had, after all, worked under the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor for so long; her technique was naturally beyond doubt, her methods were very proficient, and her movements were very seasoned—not something a young dragon like Xiaoxian could compare to.

Therefore, Yi Zhuyue was very troublesome; if he could take the opportunity to eliminate her first, dealing with Xiaoxian afterward would be very easy.

But how could Yi Zhuyue not see through his little scheme? She immediately signaled to Xiaoxian.

Lanbo and Yi Zhuyue instantly began to fight; Yi Zhuyue was no pushover, and the precious sword in her hand was also a divine sword, so the two of them did not give an inch as they fought.
