Chapter 23: No Way, That’s It?

The battle dozens of li outside Luo City was finally detected.

Although that female City Lord of Luo City didn’t know what was happening, in this kind of situation, the primary task was to evacuate the common people!

Under the blood moon, the people of Luo City were evacuated one after another under the command of the Luo City Lord!
As for the evacuated people, they were completely bewildered. Some of them were sleeping soundly, some were exercising well, and then they heard the Luo City Lord’s evacuation order.

But under the pressure of the soldiers and the Luo City’s patron cultivators, the people of Luo City still evacuated in an orderly manner from the four city gates.

In the bustling crowd coming and going, everyone’s face was filled with unease, and the sound of children crying was incessant.

Even because Luo City was very large, those living in the city center felt they couldn’t escape. They simply lay on their rocking chairs like salted fish… giving up on treatment…

And in this chaotic crowd, a woman in a light pink long dress, wearing small embroidered shoes, was running back and forth on the streets with her long legs!
Her divine sense was constantly being released! But she still couldn’t find any trace of his aura!
“Lin Pei… where are you… Lin Pei…”

Jiang Qingshang kept calling out, her face pale, her heart beating extremely fast. She had never been so flustered, all because of him.

In the outskirts of Luo City, the Vice Holy Lord of the Violet Mist Holy Land, Fang Jianqiu, clutched his chest, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Fang Jianqiu and his subordinate disciples had just arrived in the outskirts of Luo City when they were ambushed, and the ambusher was the Ascension realm Long Shigeng! Under him were even Immortal realm and several Jade-Pu realm cultivators!
In just half an incense stick’s time, Fang Jianqiu and all his subordinate disciples were seriously injured and surrounded by the Black Dragon Sect. It was already extremely difficult to maintain flight in the air!

And let alone Fang Jianqiu wanting to send a signal to the Violet Mist Holy Land, he couldn’t even protect himself now.

Fang Jianqiu was even considering whether to activate the “backup hidden energy.” Even if it meant annihilating those million innocent people and turning a thousand-li radius into scorched earth, he had to destroy the Black Dragon Sect’s plan!
“Long Shigeng! Your Black Dragon Sect wants to use the million people of Luo City as a blood sacrifice! For what reason! With such an act, are you not afraid of the Great Dao’s heavenly punishment?”

“Hahaha, the Great Dao’s heavenly punishment?” Long Shigeng laughed loudly. “My Black Dragon Sect is a demonic sect to begin with. What Great Dao heavenly punishment is there? When we awaken the demonic sword, the entire demonic path will submit to me! My Black Dragon Sect will definitely be able to return to its ancient glory!”

“Awaken the demonic sword? The demonic sword’s scabbard is already in my sect’s hands. How can you…”

“The demonic sword’s scabbard is just a feint. The demonic sword’s blood formation, I have already set it up!

“Fang Jianqiu! Don’t even think about self-destructing. I am at the Ascension realm. I still have the ability to stop you.

“Today! You and your disciples will become nourishment for the demonic sword! This is your supreme honor!”

As his words fell, in the night sky, a black dragon formed from black qi slowly appeared!

The black dragon was several thousand meters long! Its eyes were pitch black, covering the sky and moon!
And at the moment the black dragon descended, several formation arrays in the outskirts of Luo City activated simultaneously, and streaks of red light converged towards the center of Luo City.

The bright moon in the sky even seeped out dots of liquid. Those liquids slowly gathered and then dripped down, their color as red as blood!

The next moment, it wasn’t just the moon. The sky for a thousand li was all a blood-red color, as if a sea of fire was hanging above their heads!
“Dong!”

The earth shook violently, shaking Lin Xun so much that he almost fell from the tree.

Above Luo City, a pitch-black longsword broke through the ground from some direction in Luo City! A black light cut through the sky, finally freezing in the air!

Lin Xun took a closer look.

Mm, the style of this demonic sword is not bad.

Its entire body was pitch black, covered in incomprehensible, obscure inscriptions. It was tough and a gloomy blue, as if it had been quenched in poison.

The hilt was a dragon’s head skull, hollowed out in the middle to form an eye. The evil qi wrapped around its entire body made one feel it was ominous at a glance.

“Shua!”

The moment the demonic sword appeared, the black qi wrapped around its body grew wildly, eventually converging into a black, bubbling swamp mud.

The swamp mud spread over the entire sky of Luo City, and the entire Luo City fell into shadow!
The black swamp mud poured down. Anyone who touched this black mud would be devoured and become nourishment for the demonic sword.

Lin Xun naturally wouldn’t let this demonic sword act wantonly. After all, his wife was still in the city.

But just as Lin Xun was about to act, suddenly, the entire Luo City was filled with a great sword qi!
A longsword broke through the air, drawing a thousand-li purple light.

If Lin Xun remembered correctly, this should be the Violet Mist Holy Sword.

A woman with a light veil over her face held the holy sword and stood in the air. The purple sword qi formed a barrier, covering the entire Luo City!
Lin Xun looked over.

The woman was taller than his wife, and her body proportions were extremely perfect, especially that pair of long legs, which could simply compete with his wife’s! They were even a cut above.

It was just that for some reason, Lin Xun felt this woman was somewhat familiar… even though he had never seen her before…

After a brief look, Lin Xun began to admire her.

Of course, it wasn’t just admiring her figure, but he hadn’t expected that a Jade-Pu realm sword cultivator could actually protect the entire Luo City under the demonic sword’s blade.

This person should be the Violet Mist Saintess. He had to say, this Saintess of the Violet Mist Holy Land really had some skills.

All the people from the Violet Mist Holy Land were a little dumbfounded when they saw the Violet Mist sword qi that protected the entire Luo City.

Why would the Saintess appear in Luo City!

But Long Shigeng was overjoyed. “Hahaha! Jiang Qingshang actually妄 wants to resist the demonic sword alone! Although it’s a pity for her perfect skin! But, let her become nourishment for the demonic sword!”

Saying that, the Black Dragon Sect’s Master chanted an incantation, activating the formation array to speed up the demonic sword’s awakening!

“Ah!”

“Who! Ah!”

“Ah!”

But before the Black Dragon Sect’s Master could finish his incantation, screams came from the direction of each formation array!
In less than two breaths, the blood-red demonic formations that were emitting a dazzling light all began to dim.

The Black Dragon Sect’s Master looked over and saw that on the last formation array, a man was actually holding a tree branch and drawing a large cross on it. The blood-red formation was instantly extinguished.

Sensing someone looking at him, Lin Xun, wearing a mask that only revealed his eyes, met his gaze, then his eyes curved into a smile, and he even waved his hand, as if greeting him.

But with just one glance, the Black Dragon Sect’s Master’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat! His body was even trembling.

The deepest fear from his heart slowly spread in Long Shigeng’s heart!
Time seemed to rewind to a few years ago.

On that night, that young man, with a long spear pointed at his throat, said coldly and lonely:
“No way? That’s it?”
