Legend of the Great Sage

nce, he would have to shoulder the Venomous Snake hell in her place.
Even he, a mighty Human Sovereign, could not sever a connection with the Hell realm so easily.

……

“Quick, use this opportunity to kill him!”

Rāhu Xiaoming drew his slingshot, and the surroundings dimmed.
The stone pierced the Barrier of the Nine Provinces, leaving behind a black, spiralling trajectory.

The Heaven Climbing Vine had basically drained the power within the nine cauldrons.
Coupled with a blow like that, the nine cauldrons basically could not maintain the barrier any more.
The recently-forged Frost Province cauldron exploded loudly, reduced to pieces.
The Barrier of the Nine Provinces vanished.

After devouring the great cultivators and Daemon Kings, the Heaven Climbing Vine spread and grew even more, almost enveloping the entire mountain peak like a green net.

Li Qingshan lifted the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End, unleashing A Madman at Path’s End.
In the blink of an eye, the flowery patterns covered his body.

Merging with the blade, he turned into a dazzling, rotating flurry.
The vines were cut down wherever he passed by, paving a path.
He arrived right before Qian Rongzhi, but he stopped.
His sharp blade hovered over her head.

Rāhu Xiaoming urged him.
“I know what you’re thinking.
Her soul nascence cannot defeat a Yang Soul.
Once Si Long possesses her successfully, all of our efforts will go to waste!”

“Let me do it!”

Xiao An emerged from behind Li Qingshan, so quiet that she resembled his shadow.
She lifted the Buddha Slaying sword slowly and sighed inside.

At a time like this, that sword would be even more effective than the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End.

Li Qingshan grabbed her wrist and shook his head gently.
He smiled.
“It’s rare for you not to want to kill someone.
Speaking of which, I don’t want the horrible reputation of repaying kindness with hostility.
What kind of man would I be if I got you to kill her for me? If everything goes to waste, then everything goes to waste.
I will kill him with my own hands!”

He always kept clear tabs on his debts.
No matter how much he loathed Qian Rongzhi, she had helped him tremendously this time, so he definitely would not take advantage of her situation and kill her while she was vulnerable.

Rāhu Xiaoming wanted to say something, but he faltered.
He was also in doubt.
Logically speaking, with the difference between Yang Souls and soul nascences, possession would only take an instant.
This woman called Qian Rongzhi stood absolutely no chance against him, yet many seconds had already passed, but they were still in a stalemate.
Was it due to the blessing of the heavens?

Gu Yanying smiled.
“Both of you have raised valid points.
This disciple of mine has always been particularly stubborn and insidious.
Since she’s bold enough to stay here and face Si Long, she must have something that she can rely on.
She won’t be possessed that easily.
However, I don’t think she has any chances at victory either.
Once Si Long possesses her successfully, that’ll be troublesome.
Why don’t we lend her a hand and destroy Si Long in her body? If that doesn’t work out, then we’ve basically tried everything that we can.
We can launch a preemptive strike if Si Long possesses her successfully!”

“Good idea!”

Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up.
Originally, even if they could defeat Si Long, killing him would be extremely difficult, but now was a fine opportunity.

The four of them stood around Qian Rongzhi.
The Heaven Climbing Vine filled the surroundings, so it did surround them.
On top of that, with it out of control, the Heaven Climbing Vine was now impelled by its instincts to entwine and devour, but they were already prepared for this.

With a wave of her hand, the Samādhi Flames of White Bone roared out, enveloping them in the flames.
As soon as the vines touched the flames, it stopped approaching them.
Then she tossed out the Immortal Relinquished sword, shooting into the sky with a twisted flash and cutting off the very top of the Heaven Climbing Vine.

At that instant, the connection between the nine provinces and the Human realm had been severed.

“Do it!”

Li Qingshan placed his hand on Qian Rongzhi’s head.
The spirit turtle faded into existence, suppressing down viciously.

Gu Yanying manifested the Hot Wind hell.
The whistling winds surged into Qian Rongzhi’s body.

Rāhu Xiaoming peered into Qian Rongzhi’s eyes.
His pupils turned pitch-black.
