Chapter 1086
Gaining a Sliver of Hope
"Senior, we must find a way to unite more forces," Yang Ling said breathlessly.
Bai Yunzi nodded. "That's right, we must find more reinforcements. But time is of the essence, what should we do?"
"Just then, a clear sword sound suddenly rang out, and a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading straight for the evil god. It was the Kunlun Sect Master, who held a long sword, its light flashing, like a dazzling meteor, and slammed into the evil god."
"Disciples of Kunlun, we swear to eliminate the evil spirits!" The voice of the sect leader resounded through the sky. Although his attack could not seriously injure the evil god, it successfully attracted the evil god's attention.
"The real person has arrived just in time! We must unite and fight against this evil!" Yang Ling shouted in response, enduring the pain as he raised his sword again, the tip pointing directly at the evil god, his eyes filled with determination.
Bai Yunzi also rallied his spirits and quickly formed hand seals to mobilize the remaining immortal power within his body: "Fellow Daoist Kunlun, if the three of us join forces, we may be able to fight for a glimmer of hope for this world!"
Upon hearing this, the sect leader's sword light intensified. While fighting the evil god, he replied, "Senior Baiyunzi, Brother Yang Ling, our Kunlun Sect swears to fight the evil god to the very end, even if it means being shattered to pieces!"
Seeing this, the evil god let out a series of cold laughs: "Hmph, a few mere mortal cultivators dare to try and stop me? They are truly overestimating themselves!"
"Whether it's overestimating oneself or not, we'll only know after trying!" Yang Ling gritted his teeth, his immortal power surging once more. As he swung his longsword, sword light wove together, forming a massive sword net that enveloped the evil god.
Not to be outdone, Bai Yunzi waved his hands and chanted incantations. The sky once again became overcast with thunder, and bolts of lightning struck the evil god like divine punishment.
The sect leader, however, took an unconventional approach, employing elegant and agile swordsmanship. Each strike aimed directly at the evil god's vitals, though it could not inflict fatal wounds. Instead, it prevented the evil god from concentrating its power on Yang Ling and Bai Yunzi.
"Alright! Let's have a three-on-one battle against Lü Bu, and let this evil god know that the power of mortal cultivators is not to be underestimated!" Yang Ling was full of heroic spirit, and his sword net became denser and denser, with each sword containing the power to destroy the world.
"Indeed! We cultivators, though mortals, possess an indomitable spirit! Today, let us fight side by side against this evil god!" The sect leader was also filled with heroic spirit, his swordsmanship becoming increasingly fierce, each strike seemingly declaring their determination to the evil god.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yunzi laughed heartily: "Well said! Although we are mortals, we have a heart that yearns for the Dao! Today, let us use this heart that yearns for the Dao to fight against the dark power of this evil god!"
Seeing this, the evil god's eyes flashed with anger. He roared and swung his giant hand again, unleashing an even more powerful dark palm print to meet the three's attack. However, this time he found that his palm print was blocked by the power of the three!
"This... how is this possible?" The evil god stared in astonishment as his palm print was blocked by three different forces combined—a dazzling light screen formed by Yang Ling's sword net, Bai Yunzi's thunder magic, and the swordsmanship of the Kunlun Sect Master.
"Hmph, evil god, you underestimate the power of us cultivators!" Yang Ling sneered, his figure flashing like lightning as he instantly appeared beside the evil god, his long sword thrusting straight at the evil god's weak point.
The evil god roared and dodged to the side, simultaneously striking out with a palm, attempting to send Yang Ling flying. However, Yang Ling was prepared, his movements as agile as a monkey. With a roll, he evaded the evil god's attack, and at the same time, he slashed the evil god's arm with his sword.
"Ah!" the evil god cried out in pain, a flicker of fear in his eyes. He hadn't expected that these mortal cultivators could actually injure him.
"Senior Baiyunzi, if you don't act now, when will you?" Yang Ling shouted, his figure flashing again as he engaged in battle with the evil god.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yunzi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, knowing that this was the best time to attack. So he quickly formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and his immortal power surged wildly within him. The dark clouds in the sky grew even thicker, and thunder rumbled, as if the heavens were wrathed and the people were filled with resentment.
"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, subdue demons and vanquish evil!" Bai Yunzi roared, pushing his hands forward with all his might. Instantly, a thick bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, striking the evil god directly on the head. The evil god was terrified and hurriedly waved his giant hand to try and block the divine thunder. However, the divine thunder was too fast and struck the evil god's head in an instant.
"Ah!" The evil god let out a shrill scream, his body trembling violently, clearly severely injured. A wisp of black smoke rose from the top of his head, the wound left by the divine lightning strike.
"A good opportunity!" A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Kunlun Sect Master. He moved swiftly and instantly appeared behind the Evil God, thrusting his long sword straight at the Evil God's heart.
Sensing the sword energy behind him, the evil god hurriedly turned to defend. However, the sect leader's swordsmanship was incredibly fierce, and his sword pierced the evil god's chest with a single strike. Although it didn't cause a fatal wound, it still caused the evil god to roar in pain repeatedly.
"You...you mortal cultivators, how dare you harm me!" the evil god roared, his eyes bloodshot, clearly enraged to the extreme. "I will make you pay the price!"
With that, the evil god swung his giant hand, unleashing a series of dark palm prints towards the three of them. These palm prints contained destructive power; if they struck, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Watch out!" Yang Ling shouted, warning the two beside him. He moved swiftly, dodging the evil god's attacks while continuously unleashing sword techniques in an attempt to weaken the evil god's power.
Bai Yunzi and the Kunlun Sect Master also used their supernatural abilities to evade the evil god's attacks. They knew that the evil god had gone mad and they had to be careful.
"Hmph, you think you can defeat me like this?" the evil god roared, dark power surging around him. "I am the Lord of the Underworld, these injuries are nothing to me!"
Yang Ling's eyes were resolute as he dodged the attacks and replied, "Evil God, your era has ended. Today is the day of your destruction!"
Bai Yunzi also spoke up, saying, "The way of Heaven is constant, and evil cannot prevail over good. You have committed many evils, and today is your end!"
"How arrogant!" the evil god sneered. "You so-called righteous people are always so self-righteous. Today, I'll show you what true power is!"
As he spoke, the evil god formed a hand seal, and an even denser aura of darkness emanated from his body. The waters of the Netherworld Blood Sea began to boil, as if cheering for his power.
"This is bad! He's gathering even greater power!" The Kunlun Sect Leader's expression was grave. "We must stop him immediately!"
Yang Ling nodded: "Senior Baiyunzi, Sect Leader, let's launch our strongest attack together and interrupt his spellcasting!"
"Alright!" Bai Yunzi and the Kunlun Sect Master replied in unison.
"The three quickly adjusted their breathing, and their immortal power began to surge wildly within them. Yang Ling's longsword flashed with dazzling light once again, the lightning around Bai Yunzi became even more violent, and the swordsmanship of the Kunlun Sect Master became even more ruthless."
"One sword to shatter the heavens and earth!" Yang Ling shouted, and swung his long sword. A dazzling sword aura pierced the sky and headed straight for the evil god.
"Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, Annihilate Gods and Demons!" Bai Yunzi followed closely behind, pushing forward with both hands, unleashing a thick bolt of purple lightning that roared out, merging with Yang Ling's sword energy to form a world-destroying force. (End of Chapter)
