Chapter 1269 Siege and Counterattack
Yunxi held her sword with both hands and attacked swiftly without hesitation. A huge purple sword shadow quickly formed behind her and fell in the direction she swung, colliding precisely with the black stream of light transformed from the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade.
The "Thunder Slash" spread onto the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade in an extremely domineering manner, while the "Thunder Radiance" replica in Yunxi's hand also completed its mission, breaking in half. Yunxi, who was holding the sword, was also affected by the two opposing forces and was sent flying far away before she regained her footing.
Yunxi's unparalleled sword strike stunned the remaining immortals who were trying to snatch the spoils. The self-destruction of the eighty-one array plates had already injured some of the remaining immortals. Then, seeing Yunxi's ruthless attack, they realized that these six people had no intention of seizing the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade; they wanted to destroy this ancient evil artifact.
Di Fei flashed to Yun Xi's side and asked with concern:
"Are you OK?"
Yunxi raised her hand to wipe away the blood that had spilled from the corner of her lips, forcibly suppressing the surging blood and qi within her body, and said calmly:
"It's alright."
After saying this, he glanced at the broken sword in his hand with heartache, then flipped his hand to put it away. Only then did he look at the slowly falling Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade. Under the ravages of "Thunder Slash", the blade had dimmed even more. Cracks had reappeared on the previously intact blade and hilt, precisely at the locations where the fragments had been re-fused.
Yunxi quickly drank a vial of restorative potion, preparing to continue her efforts, when some impatient immortals transformed into streaks of light and rushed toward the fallen Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade, their desire to snatch it making no attempt to conceal their intentions.
Di Fei's eyes turned cold, and in the instant her wrist flipped, the bone whip transformed into nine white spirit snakes, lashing out at the immortals who were approaching the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade. The sounds of "crack," "bang," and "humph" were incessant as the whip blocked the immortals who were testing the waters.
Yunxi said coldly:
"Back to your positions!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xingchi, Cui Ying, Hua Wu, Wu Shen, and Di Fei appeared with her around the Sacred Corpse Star-Slaying Blade, trapping the evil weapon while also preventing other immortals from snatching it.
The flattened hills, the six people poised to attack, and the Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade stuck in the ground and wrapped in purple lightning were particularly conspicuous, but they briefly stopped the people with ill intentions.
The first man to approach had a flickering gaze, sensing the slightly trembling secret realm, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Since you cannot suppress the Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade, why refuse our help? We just want to contribute our share."
Yunxi glanced coldly at the man, raised her hand to gently touch her cheek, revealing her true appearance, and replied in a voice even colder than his:
"Contribute your share? You probably don't even believe your own words! You're clearly an evil immortal who accepted the mission to take the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade out of the secret realm, yet here you're inciting those who want to take advantage to fight for you. Why don't you do it yourself? Are you not confident, or do you think you can't beat me?"
After saying that, he grasped the Seven Star Deadly Staff in his hand. At this point, there was no longer any need to conceal his identity.
Someone recognized Yun Xi and gasped, saying:
"She is Immortal Lord Ranxi, who recently broke the trap set by the Thousand Water Mountains!"
"It's her, it really is her!"
"Immortal Lord Ranxi said he was an evil immortal."
"She's the 'nemesis of evil immortals,' so if she says it's true, it is. Why don't you back off now? Do you want to be used as a pawn?"
"Retreat!" Yunxi hadn't expected that she would become so famous now. After revealing her identity, she persuaded another group of people to leave. The remaining people who were still unwilling to give up were either helpers of the evil immortal or had the idea of profiting from the conflict between the two. In short, the pressure was reduced a bit.
The man accused of being an evil immortal's pupils contracted when Yun Xi revealed her true form. He knew he was facing his most difficult situation, and this mission would likely fail. However, seeing the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade so close at hand, he decided to take a gamble and shouted sharply:
"Let's do it!"
The moment the words were spoken, the hidden helpers transformed into countless streaks of light and rushed towards the six people's defensive circle, their target being the Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade.
Yunxi and the other five had anticipated a battle and remained calm. As planned, Yunxi held off the external attacks while the other five attacked the trapped Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade, determined not to give it any chance to escape its predicament.
With a flicker of her figure, several identical Yunxi appeared in the sky above the ruined hills, each wielding a different weapon and attacking the charging immortals. Each Yunxi carried a murderous aura, and her attacks were decisive and ruthless; if she could strike once, she would never strike again.
This is the Thousand Shadow Technique from the "Thousand Shadows Wind-Supporting Divine Art" that Yunxi cultivates. It is a technique for dealing with group attacks. With her spiritual strength, combat power, and cultivation level, her clones are at least at the level of the Upper Immortal Realm.
In an instant, the entire hilly ruins were filled with the collision and crushing of various immortal energies, and the aftershocks spread outwards in an irregular manner, while the frequency of the tremors in the secret realm also increased.
Yunxi stared at the man who seemed to be having second thoughts, a cold smile playing on her lips. She hadn't even unleashed the fire that forced the eighty-one array plates to self-destruct yet, so how could she let this man go? In the next instant, she vanished from the spot.
The man looked at the countless clouds above and below, his face terribly gloomy. If left unchecked, the Saintly Remains Star-Slaying Blade, which had not yet recovered, would likely suffer severe damage.
He gritted his teeth and quickly formed hand seals. He was about to activate the sacrificial array to use all the living beings in the entire secret realm to help the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade recover its strength.
As he made a hand seal, the secret realm trembled even more violently. What awaited him was Yun Xi's merciless attack. All seven stars on the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand lit up, turning into a golden light that pierced through his dantian, pinning him directly to the ground.
"you"
The man coughed up blood, his eyes filled with disbelief. In the next instant, Yunxi teleported in front of him, her divine sense transforming into a thorn that entered his sea of consciousness, forcibly reading his memories.
The man seemed to know what Yunxi was planning to do. He gritted his teeth and self-destructed his soul, forcing Yunxi to withdraw her consciousness. She grabbed her Seven Star Deadly Staff, teleported away from the lifeless man, and rushed back into the battle.
Meanwhile, the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade, which was surrounded by Yu Xingchi and the others, was enduring the hard-hit attacks of the five people. The luster on the blade continued to dim, and the places that had been injured before were now fully exposed.
Di Fei's bone whip lashed out from different angles at the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade embedded in the ground, followed by the golden sword light unleashed by Yu Xingchi. Each strike was faster and more powerful than the last.
Cuiying transformed into her true form, her sharp beak relentlessly pecking at the blade, especially the hole near the hilt, which was her primary target.
Hua Wu carried a glass lamp. After she infused it with her soul power, countless blue-green streams of light flew out of the lamp and entered the blade along with the attacks of the others. While corroding the blade, they also attacked the weapon spirit.
As soon as the Sacred Relic Star-Slaying Blade was inserted into the ground, the Buddha Wushen flicked his wrist and sent out the relic bracelet on his wrist. The eighteen relics embedded themselves in the ground, emitting a holy and pure Buddhist light, trapping the entire blade in place.
