Chapter 1473 Avoiding It
The rampaging demonic energy indiscriminately destroyed everything around it, and the ground sank and left deep cracks the moment the palm strike landed.
Shen Weixun and Xie Baiyi braced themselves with their swords, nimbly twisting their waists and leaping out at the same time, narrowly landing in a safe area at the critical moment.
When they looked up, they saw that the place where they had been standing had been almost completely leveled, a sight that was shocking to behold.
If the two had reacted even a fraction slower, it's questionable whether they would still be standing here alive.
However, they didn't have time to think about it. The next second, the figures of the sword spirits who were blocking the attack were also torn apart by the rampant demonic energy.
It transformed into tiny specks of light, scattering onto Shen Weixun and Xie Baiyi's shoulders.
Qu Yimian's lips curled into an upward arc. She seemed to have given up controlling the demonic energy around her, letting it run rampant within her body, and smiled as she walked step by step toward the two of them.
"I've already said, if you want to kill me, the two of you alone won't do it—"
She spoke coldly, then condescendingly uttered three words, "Not enough."
Seeing the two people who had once been so indifferent to her now in such a sorry state, Qu Yimian was captivated by this feeling.
She felt an almost genuine sense of pleasure; this was the overwhelming feeling that came with sheer power.
This also made her even more convinced that her previous plan was not wrong.
If Gu Xia hadn't suddenly appeared and interfered, she would have already become the number one person in the world, controlling everything.
That damned Gu Xia, it's all her fault for ruining my plans.
It even caused her to end up in this situation where she has to hide and live in fear.
But it doesn't matter. As long as she gets through this crisis, she will find new opportunities sooner or later.
Xie Baiyi keenly sensed her fluctuating emotions. He quickly gave Shen Weixun beside him a look, and the two of them flicked their swords and attacked Qu Yimian again.
"Still haven't given up?"
Qu Yimian also raised her sword to block, not feeling that they could pose any threat to her at their current level.
However, to her surprise, Shen Weixun suddenly moved half a step faster, and he blocked both of her sword energies by himself.
A trail of crimson blood appeared on the young man's hand that held the sword, with drops of bright red blood trickling down, staining half of the sword.
"You..." Qu Yimian opened her mouth, but only managed to utter one word. Her momentary lapse in concentration was successfully caught by others, and Xie Baiyi, who was originally half a step behind, suddenly disappeared from the spot.
What about people?
The moment Qu Yimian subconsciously released her divine sense, a chilling sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart. Her pupils constricted sharply, and she heard a sharp friction and impact sound.
That was the loud sound of a sharp sword blade striking the protective barrier of the protective orb.
Xie Baiyi appeared behind her like a ghost at some unknown time.
The advantages of the wind spirit root were fully demonstrated in the boy at this moment.
He managed to deceive her for a few seconds when he made his move, doing so silently yet with a sharp edge.
Seeing his sneak attack blocked, Xie Baiyi, having failed in his first strike, quickly pulled away a second before being sent flying and kicked the magical weapon off her body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Weixun quickly stepped forward. Compared to the two sword cultivators who often faced the most life-or-death crises, Qu Yimian's face showed a moment of panic.
Her eyes turned cold, and she instinctively swung her sword, which was wrapped in fierce demonic energy. At the same time, she raised her hand and struck Xie Baiyi in the chest.
The recoil sent him flying, and with the pain of several broken ribs, Xie Baiyi coughed up blood and shouted, "Shen Weixun, catch!"
He accurately tossed the Jinghong Sword towards Shen Weixun. Qu Yimian gritted her teeth in hatred. It turned out that these two were willing to fight even at the cost of serious injury, secretly plotting a feint.
Amidst the entanglement of spiritual and demonic energy, she immediately wanted to turn around and stop them.
However, the tacit understanding between the two was not something she could easily stop.
Ignoring the intense pain caused by the sword energy churning her meridians, Shen Weixun used a nimble flick of her wrist, letting the water flow out along the sharp blade, forcing Qu Yimian to slow down her movements by half a beat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he caught the spirit sword that Xie Baiyi threw to him without turning his head.
The sword, drawn from its sheath, spun in the blood-stained hand, its icy light carrying immense spiritual power.
With swift, precise, and ruthless strokes, he aimed for Qu Yimian's vitals.

Meanwhile, outside.
Even though they already knew that it might not be easy for them to forcibly break the barrier, they did not expect it to be this difficult. No matter how many methods they used and how many attacks they launched, they were still unable to do anything.
Several of the main attackers were so exhausted that they almost collapsed on the ground, pinching each other's philtrum repeatedly.
Shu Yue, who knew this best, withdrew her magical artifact upon seeing this and pondered, "It seems that the barrier here can only be broken by undergoing tribulation."
They can't break it, but that doesn't mean Gu Xia can't either.
Just then, Gu Xia, who had been observing the most suitable place to strike, nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Leave it to me."
Gu Xia held the sword in her hand, her mind racing. All her thoughts were now scattered, and she gathered spiritual energy into the sword, eager to test it against the barrier in front of her.
No matter what position they hold, as long as you act quickly and decisively, if they say it's suitable, then it's suitable.
Seeing her like this, her disciples, who had just exhausted a lot of spiritual energy and were lying on the ground pinching each other, shuddered and instantly sprang to their feet.
They quickly retreated behind her to create a safe distance.
His nimble and agile movements would surely earn him the title of "miraculous healer" from anyone who saw him.
Fortunately, the group couldn't hear what their other close associates were thinking, otherwise they would have definitely been shouting and defending themselves.
joke?
If Gu Xia hadn't quickly moved away when she made her move, what if they had been caught in the crossfire?
At that point, I probably won't even have a chance to cry.
Seeing that attitude of avoiding it at all costs, Gu Xia couldn't help but twitch her lips several times.
"Are you sure you want to go this far?"
She's not trying to attack her own people.
"That's really too much." Ye Suian poked his head out from behind and waved to her with a smile. "Junior Sister, fly with confidence. We will support you in spirit."
As for getting close to support her, that's best to leave it at that. Based on their understanding of Gu Xia, it's better for them to maintain a certain sense of boundaries.
Gu Xia rolled her eyes at him without any attempt to hide it.
Just pretend.
Gu Xia nimbly leaped into the air, twirling the Floating Life Sword in her palm. Looking at the impregnable barrier in front of her, she flicked the tip of the sword upwards.
The surrounding spiritual energy flowed in from all directions, warmly surrounding Gu Xia. With the Tribulation Transcending Realm present, she alone could control the spiritual energy in this world, which swirled and converged like a vortex.
The flowing air froze for a moment.
Gu Xia stood in mid-air, and all the disciples present felt difficulty breathing. They subconsciously looked up, their gazes, along with their spiritual energy, falling on that figure.
Ye Sui'an suppressed her smile, her expression slightly tense, and the hand on Xu Xingmu's shoulder suddenly tightened its grip.
Xu Xingmu's face contorted in pain as he grimaced, but he didn't have time to hurt her. He blinked and said, "Junior Sister seems to be glowing."
The higher the cultivation level, the more spiritual energy one can absorb, and the faster the absorption speed. At this moment, Gu Xia was gathering her strength when countless spiritual energies surged towards her.
The girl in mid-air raised her sword, her eyes bright, and waves of energy surged around her.
With a single sword strike, mountains were cleaved and rivers severed.
In an instant, the snow-white sword light illuminated the entire world, magnificent and dazzling.
Without any attempt to conceal it, the terrifying sword energy of the Tribulation Transcending stage surged outwards like waves.
Even the entire cultivation world was taken aback.
Thousands of demonic beasts lay prostrate on the ground, while the demonic cultivators glanced sideways.
"who is it?"
