And when those demon cultivators saw such dense sword qi attacking again, one of them gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Damn, how come it's coming again??"
Another demon cultivator, his expression dark and sinister, said, "That guy is just pushing his luck, does he really think we wouldn't dare slaughter him?"
"Release the treasure quickly! That kid's cultivation level must be at least above the Golden Immortal Realm!!"
As these words left his lips, one of the demon cultivators, albeit begrudgingly, released his own treasure—a huge, pale golden light barrier enveloped them, shielding them within...
The sword qi collided with it, getting forcefully destroyed, merely causing the light to dim ever so slightly!
Meanwhile, back at the center of the scene, Qin Yumo, who was being relentlessly oppressed by Zhou Qingruo's attacks, stared at her exquisitely beautiful face and hissed through gritted teeth, "Master, are you truly disregarding our past? I am your disciple, after all!"
Attempting to use words to lower Zhou Qingruo's guard, the effort was, however, minimally effective.
In the latter's icy blue beautiful eyes was only endless coldness, without a hint of pity...
Her tone filled with extreme chill, she said, "The moment you cooperated with a demon cultivator, you ceased to be my disciple!"
As she spoke those words, the grip on her personal sword tightened, directly forcing Qin Yumo to stagger back several steps...
Just as Zhou Qingruo was about to continue her murderous advance towards Qin Yumo, her clone once again entangled her...
Reacting immediately, she swiftly engaged in battle with it again...
Frowning slightly, she muttered, "Such a troublesome clone, I'll take you down first!"
Even if it possessed one hundred percent of Qin Yumo's strength, it lacked combat awareness, operating entirely on instinct for attack and defense...
"Mid-grade Immortal Rank, Yangshuo Flame Slash!!" she shouted coldly.
In an instant, her blood-colored Pei Sword suddenly flashed with a burst of flames, countless raging flames coalesced from it, extending to several dozen meters in length...
Accompanying this display was a formidable force that caused the space itself to tremble with its emergence...
Locking onto Qin Yumo and her clone as the targets, she swung her sword fiercely downward...
Witnessing the massive flame slash approaching, Qin Yumo's pupils dilated, "Damn it!! I can't take it head-on!! If it hits me, I'm definitely dead!!"
Realizing this, she immediately burst forth at her top speed to flee, narrowly dodging this lethal strike...
Compared to her, however, her clone wasn't so fortunate; by the time it belatedly reacted, it had already been struck by the attack...
A sound of flesh being viciously torn apart, "Puchi!!!", rang out as the clone was bisected at the waist. The scorching flames surged out instantly from the blood-colored Pei Sword, completely engulfing the clone that was hit...
After just a few seconds, Qin Yumo's clone was entirely incinerated into ash...
Seeing this, Qin Yumo instinctively stepped back in shock, her face smeared with a look of horror, "So... so terrifying!"
If that strike had hit her, she feared she would have ended up just like the clone, split in half and reduced to ash!!!
Zhou Qingruo once again directed her gaze towards Qin Yumo and, without hesitation, charged at her again...
Watching Zhou Qingruo coming at her again, Qin Yumo roared inwardly, "Those bastards... how have they not yet finished preparing?! If this goes on, I'll really be killed by her!!"
However, this forthright scene was precisely observed by those demon cultivators lurking in the shadows, who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Good opportunity!"
Almost at the moment the words were spoken, they intuitively locked the target of their formation onto Zhou Qingruo, who was charging at Qin Yumo!!
Witnessing them making their move from the side, Xu Sheng couldn't help but cry out, "Not good!!"
That mysterious formation must be no simple matter! Otherwise, these demon cultivators wouldn't be withstanding her attacks so stubbornly just to maintain it!
But even though he had discovered it, there was no way he could stop it with his current strength!!
He saw the demon cultivators' spiritual power burst forth, and the massive formation beneath their feet suddenly shimmered to life, vanishing on the spot in the blink of an eye…
And Zhou Qingruo, who was charging towards Qin Yumo, suddenly felt a tightness in her heart…
She abruptly realized the blinding light blossoming beneath her feet and exclaimed in shock, "What??"
Right after, the formation emitting the eerie glow beneath her instantly expanded several times over, enveloping her entire body…
Instantly, Zhou Qingruo felt an intense pressure on every part of her body, forcibly restraining her within it…
Not only that, even the spiritual power inside her body was being devoured bit by bit by the formation!!
It wouldn't take long before her spiritual power was completely drained!!
Bound by the formation, Zhou Qingruo bit her thin lips and cursed, "Damn it! Is this the doing of those demon cultivators?"
With this in mind, she began to struggle, trying to control her own body, yet she couldn't muster a hint of spiritual power!
The sudden turn of events caught Qin Yumo off guard, her gaze unconsciously shifting to the demon cultivators hiding in the shadows…
In the next moment, her enchanting beautiful eyes flashed with ecstasy…
She laughed manically, "Hahaha! Master, you didn't expect this, did you? It's not just me here!!"
Those useless demon cultivators, they finally made their move. If it had been any later, she might have been dissected by Zhou Qingruo!
Hearing the mad laughter, Zhou Qingruo snorted coldly and continued to try to escape the binding of the formation…
She had been careless, although aware of the existence of demon cultivators in hiding who might attack her!
But she had not anticipated them using a formation first!
Seeing this, Qin Yumo once again taunted, "Master, don't bother struggling. This formation was specially prepared for you! How could it possibly allow you to escape?"
Zhou Qingruo, with an icy tone, interrupted, "Shut up! Those who affiliate with demon cultivators are unworthy of being my disciple, Zhou Qingruo!"
Qin Yumo seizing control of the Sect Master position of the Blood Lotus Sect, manipulating the Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect, and more—she could forgive all these!
However, being involved with demon cultivators was unforgivable without exception!
Qin Yumo sneered, "Very well, old Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, you had better recognize the situation! Right now… you're powerless!"
With that said, she casually waved her arm, releasing a faint streak of sword qi that surged directly towards Zhou Qingruo…
"Puchi!" A sound, and a slightly elongated wound was left on Zhou Qingruo's face…
Despite the pain, she bore it and stared coldly at Qin Yumo with those unyielding beautiful eyes…
This made Qin Yumo feel humiliated!...
Even though Zhou Qingruo was helplessly at her mercy, she still carried an arrogant demeanor!
Feeling extremely irritated, Qin Yumo released several more streaks of sword qi…
Brutally creating several blossoms of blood on Zhou Qingruo's delicate cheeks…
Drops of blood splattered from her face onto the ground…
…
