"Senior Sister." Miao Shengnan supported the lifeless body of the Grand Elder, her heart heavy with sorrow.
The followers of the Serpent Cult in front of Nangong waved their hands and coldly commanded, "Kill!"
Countless arrows were released, shooting toward the Emei disciples. The Emei disciples looked at the rain of arrows, some with sorrowful expressions, others trembling in fear. Faced with death, anyone would be afraid.
However, as the arrows flew through the air, they suddenly froze mid-flight. Miao Shengnan's eyes turned red as she thrust her palm forward, causing the arrows to reverse direction. In an instant, the surrounding Disciples of the Serpent Cult were pierced by their own arrows, but soon reinforcements from below the mountain replenished their ranks.
"Nangong Dao: 'The end of a strong bow!'"
A fiery fist was unleashed, infused with the power of True Fire of Taiyi. No one dared to confront its fierce edge. Miao Shengnan clutched the Grand Elder's corpse and fled from the spot as the steps of the grand hall crumbled. She handed the Grand Elder's body to two female disciples before brandishing her sword and flying toward Nangong. With disdain in his eyes, Nangong ignited a roaring flame around him; fire surged and rolled. Miao Shengnan charged through the flames and thrust her sword toward Nangong's head. Nangong caught the Sword Body with his fiery palm and snapped it in half before kicking Miao Shengnan to the ground. She rolled over and suddenly dispersed into mist.
"Another Phantom Layer! How annoying! Kill everyone!" Nangong shouted.
The sound of arrows flying from all directions erupted again. Miao Shengnan intended to circle behind Nangong for a surprise attack but had no choice but to halt and save her disciples.
Despite being a master of the Mahayana Realm, facing countless enemies along with a powerhouse like Nangong left her powerless to resist. After enduring thousands of arrows, she finally exhausted her Dao Qi and could not retreat.
"Grand Elder!" A delicate cry rang out as Rouer appeared in the void, kneeling beside the Grand Elder's corpse and weeping.
Suddenly, a sinister wind swept through the plaza of Golden Mist Hall. The Disciples of the Serpent Cult felt sharp pain in their necks and heaviness in their chests; soon everything went dark before them, their consciousness fading away.
All arrows were shattered by illusions, and waves of Disciples of the Serpent Cult fell to the ground, blood staining the Bluestone Slab.
The illusions converged as Rain Master Luo landed before Nangong with her sword drawn.
"It's Senior Sister!" "Senior Sister Yu!"
"Is it you?" Nangong looked at Rain Master Luo.
Rain Master Luo said, "Emei has no enmity with you. Why must you pursue to the bitter end?"
Nangong replied, "Miao Shengnan also expelled you from Emei. Why do you come here to seek death?"
"Utterly pointless," Rain Master Luo finished, thrusting her sword towards Nangong.
Nangong snorted, flicking his fingers to deflect Rain Master Luo's sword. Standing with his hands behind his back, he said, "The only reason you gained fame at Mount Hua that day was because Old Man didn't intervene. With your skills, you're not even worthy to compete with Old Man."
Rain Master Luo watched as her sword was sent buzzing away by Nangong. Taking a deep breath, she struck again. Nangong was startled; his Dao Qi surged forth, and hundreds of sword holes appeared on his body. Furious, Nangong punched towards Rain Master Luo. She flew backward but suddenly reversed in mid-air, tracing an unusual arc.
The air shifted, the void opened and closed, and thousands of swords trembled. Yu Youya warned, "Master, it's One Sword Technique!"
Nangong heard Yu Youya's warning but was determined to take this blow. He did not believe there was any sword technique in the world that was invincible, especially since Rain Master Luo's power was so inferior to his own.
The sword light was unadorned but contained all of Rain Master Luo's Dao Qi in a full-force strike. Flames engulfed Nangong, resembling a Fire Demon as a stream of sword energy pierced through his chest, shooting through several disciples behind him and penetrating a mountain peak a thousand feet away, startling the morning birds.
Nangong retaliated with a punch against Rain Master Luo, who staggered back a step before striking again. Sparks erupted from Nangong's body; it seemed as if Rain Master Luo had anticipated all his movements, making it impossible for him to block her sword. He roared as he unleashed a flurry of punches against her.
In the arena, Yu Youya exchanged glances with another Black-Clad Guardian before they both acted together, striking down on Rain Master Luo's shoulders. She kicked Yu Youya to the ground and landed in front of the hall.
"Master, are you alright?" the Black-Clad Guardian asked.
"What could possibly happen to me?" Nangong snorted as the flames around him dissipated, revealing his battered form covered in sword scars.
Meanwhile, standing before Golden Mist Hall, Rain Master Luo had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth and smelled of burnt flesh, her complexion grim.
Nangong laughed heartily and looked at Rain Master Luo, saying, "With the True Fire of Taiyi poisoning your body, I wonder how you will survive. The One Sword Technique is nothing special!"
After Nangong finished speaking, he suddenly frowned. He looked down at his chest and saw that the wound from the One Sword Technique had not healed.
"How can this be?" Nangong's face turned pale as he suddenly felt a violent explosion within him; multiple veins burst, and blood mist filled the air. He fell backward, his body a bloody mess.
Nangong Lin rushed forward to support Nangong, anxiously calling out, "Father, what’s wrong with you?"
Nangong's expression hardened as he moved his fingers slightly. The Flame Demon Orb from Nangong Lin flew into his hand, which he swallowed in one gulp.
"Master, should we retreat first?" Yu Youya asked.
Nangong struggled to stand up and declared, "Today, I will kill every single person from the Emei Sect—leave no one alive!"
The Black-Clad Guardian said, "Leave two elders to protect the master; the rest of you come with me to wipe out the remaining Emei scum!"
The battle was about to erupt as the Serpent Cult followers clashed with the disciples of the Emei Sect. Casualties mounted on both sides.
"Yushi Luo, how are you? I will use my life essence to help expel the fire poison!" Miao Shengnan said from the front of the hall.
Rain Master Luo grasped Miao Shengnan's wrist and replied, "Get everyone out through the Plum Blossom Cave at A Ray of Hope in the back mountain. I will cover your escape!"
"Yushi Luo, there is no cure for the True Fire of Taiyi. If we don't save you soon, it will be too late!" Miao Shengnan insisted.
"Let me handle it, Sect Leader. Senior Sister has already left; it's my turn now. If I can save Yushi Luo, I will die without regrets," an Emei Elder said.
"I can kill you right now if you want to die; get out of my way." Rain Master Luo's expression was cold as she swept her sword aside, clearing a path through the elders of Arched Eyebrows and charging into the fray. Wherever she passed, any Serpent Cult member was cut down by her sword.
Rouer wiped away her tears and looked at Miao Shengnan, saying, "Master, Senior Sister Yu sacrificed herself to save everyone. You should lead the others to safety."
Miao Shengnan hesitated for a moment, glancing at the few remaining members of Emei. "All elders, hold back the Serpent Cult members. Bai Xiaoxiang, you take the junior sisters and leave first!"
Bai Xiaoxiang nodded and led everyone toward the back mountain.
"Leaving is not that easy. I'll deal with this woman first, then kill all of you!" Yu Youya shouted as she struck towards Rain Master Luo. Rain Master Luo countered with a sword strike, causing Yu Youya to retreat in fear, avoiding the attack.
Several elders blocked Bai Xiaoxiang and the others' path, forcing them back up the mountain. A fierce battle broke out between some Emei elders and the Serpent Cult elders, with no clear winner in sight.
The Black-Clad Guardian lunged at Rain Master Luo from behind with a sword. "Sister, behind you!" Rouer shouted.
Rain Master Luo turned and struck with her sword, piercing the Black-Clad Guardian's shoulder and throwing him aside. Rain Master Luo was drenched in sweat, clearly suffering from the explosive fire poison that made her insides burn painfully.
All the elders of the Serpent Cult attacked Rain Master Luo together, wary of getting too close. Daoist Arts flew through the air as they targeted the severely injured Rain Master Luo.
Nangong Lin also joined the fray; ordinary disciples of Arched Eyebrows were no match for him.
At that moment, I arrived at the mountaintop with Guo Huaiyi and saw bodies scattered everywhere. The Emei Sect had suffered heavy casualties, with only a few hundred remaining. Rain Master Luo was surrounded by several Elders of the Divine Serpent Sect, looking extremely pale.
I rushed into battle. Reaching Rain Master Luo's side, I threw a punch that sent the Elders of the Divine Serpent Sect flying back. In an instant, I brought Rain Master Luo to the entrance of the main hall. "Yushi Luo, protect your heart pulse first; I'll handle these people."
From my Qi Sea, I retrieved the scroll I had snatched from an Outer Sect Disciple of Azure Cloud Sect. Now that I was in the late Nascent Soul Realm, I could finally unleash the ultimate secret of Drawing Technique. The scroll unfurled, and countless sword lights surged forth from it, sweeping across the Serpent Cult members on the mountainside. In an instant, countless lives were lost. Nangong Lin looked at the empty scroll and struck out with his palm, flames erupting but was intercepted by a disciple of the Serpent Cult.
This disciple said, "Young Master, please be patient; I have a plan."
"Who are you?" Nangong Lin asked angrily.
The disciple of the Serpent Cult lunged at Nangong Lin with a knife, but Nangong Lin swiftly struck the disciple on the head. However, he immediately let out a terrible scream as he was stabbed from behind. The assailant was another disciple of the Serpent Cult.
"What is happening to you?" Nangong Lin felt a surge of panic within.
The disciple quickly slumped down, and a blade of White Shadow returned to the body of a person standing nearby. Guo Huaiyi grinned wickedly and said, "Nice to meet you for the first time."
"It was you who did this!" Nangong Lin roared in anger, striking towards Guo Huaiyi with a palm, flames blazing fiercely.
Guo Huaiyi seized Nangong Lin's wrist, and Nangong Lin was taken aback, realizing he could no longer move, nor could he use his Dao Qi.
"Heh heh, it seems you haven't mastered your father's True Fire of Taiyi," Guo Huaiyi chuckled as black inscriptions suddenly appeared on his neck. The black markings on his wrist flowed into the palm and then into Nangong Lin's wrist, permeating his body and covering his skin.
Yu Youya swung a sword at Guo Huaiyi, who jumped aside with a hearty laugh. He plunged both hands into the heads of two disciples of the Serpent Cult. The two instantly withered away and collapsed to the ground as a stream of blood light was absorbed by Guo Huaiyi.
At that moment, the elders of the Serpent Cult surrounded me, preventing me from using my Drawing Technique. One elder unleashed a surge of sword energy and sliced the scroll in half. The Spirit Energy from the scroll erupted, sweeping through the clouds.
Nangong opened his eyes and stood up, declaring, "It's just right to catch all these pests in one go!"
One elder remarked, "Master, your injuries..."
"It's nothing," Nangong replied as he approached me.
A strand of Crimson Silk shot out from thin air, causing the elders of the Divine Serpent Sect attacking me to retreat. The Crimson Silk twisted around all the disciples in Nangong's dojo, slicing them in half effortlessly. It continued endlessly towards the Golden Mist Hall before returning to Yunxi.
"Yunxi!" I felt an inexplicable excitement upon seeing Yunxi.
Suddenly, screams echoed from below the mountain as Yang Sanqian and Jiyao flew up from the base of the mountain, accompanied by Wu and Huzi.
Yang Sanqian landed in the arena, and the overwhelming Dao Qi instantly killed everyone who was fighting against the Emei disciples. Several elders retreated, while the Black-Clad Guardian and Yu Youya helped Nangong Lin back to Nangong's side.
"Leader, we should retreat. With Yang Sanqian and his wife here, we have no chance of winning," Yu Youya said.
Nangong snorted and replied, "Let's go!"
Under Nangong's leadership, the Serpent Cult members began to descend the mountain. Wu ran up to Rouer and asked, "Rouer, are you alright?"
Rouer shook her head, her face filled with sorrow. "The Grand Elder is dead, and many of our senior sisters have died as well."
I looked at Yang Sanqian and Jiyao and asked, "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
Yang Sanqian replied, "Someone informed us that the Serpent Cult was attacking Emei, and that you were here too."
I said, "How is that possible? Guo Huaiyi and I were still at Emei Territory two hours ago. It would take you half a day to get from Jiangnan Border to Emei Mountain."
Yang Sanqian frowned and said, "I don't know who that person was, but after he left, one of my trusted aides came to report that Arched Eyebrows was being besieged by the Serpent Cult. That's why we rushed to Emei."
Not thinking much of it, I walked towards Yunxi. Seeing her unharmed made us exchange smiles. Then I hugged her tightly and whispered, "I missed you so much."
"Yunxi, where have you been since you woke up on the mountain? The last time I saw Douding, he mentioned you," I asked.
"I..."
Just as Yunxi was about to respond, Miao Shengnan's voice rang out: "Yushi Luo! Yushi Luo, what's wrong with you?"
"Senior Sister!" everyone called out.
Below the Golden Mist Hall, Rain Master Luo's expression was one of agony, reminiscent of Yunxi's symptoms from before.
"Master, let me use my life essence to help Yushi Luo with the blood poison," an elder from Emei said.
I replied, "Life essence cannot completely resolve the poison of the True Fire of Taiyi; it would only cause Senior Sister Yu's cultivation to regress."
I looked at Yunxi, who nodded and stepped forward, a water sphere slowly forming in her palm.
"What is this?" Miao Shengnan asked, puzzled.
I explained, "Water Linglong can purify all impurities, including poison. Yunxi has been poisoned by the True Fire of Taiyi before."
Before our eyes, the Water Linglong in Yunxi's hand began to glow, and strands of black fire poison floated out from Rain Master Luo's body, being purified into black smoke by the Water Linglong.
