Three Swords Slay a Soul Formation!

Amid the roaring thunder, Li Guanqi's figure vanished from where he stood! His movement speed was so terrifying that even Wei Xian could barely catch a blurred afterimage. Relying on his formidable strength and sharp sixth sense, the old man raised his sword and slashed out in an instant! *Clang!* Yet with just that single clash, Wei Xian was knocked back dozens of zhang by Li Guanqi's overwhelmingly heavy strike! The webbing between his thumb and forefinger split slightly. A look of disbelief flashed in the old man's eyes, and he exclaimed in shock, "Dual cultivation of spirit and martial paths!!" Before the old man could react, a blast of fist astral energy wrapped in flames surged straight at him! Even before the fist reached him, the old man could hear its piercing shriek. The scorching flame startled even him, and he hurriedly dodged! Yet Li Guanqi's sword momentum coiled after him like a spirit serpent in an instant! Furthermore, Li Guanqi moved even faster than he did, and thunder swords formed from the boundless thunder pool around them continuously slashed toward him. The old man could not understand how a Nascent Soul realm cultivator could possess such immense divine sense! Swinging his sword in an impenetrable defense, the elder retreated as he thought in disbelief, *Such a terrifying reserve of divine sense has surpassed the vast majority of tier-four alchemists! How could he be this strong?!* *Boom!* An inexplicably formidable aura suddenly blasted Li Guanqi hundreds of zhang away! Li Guanqi tumbled several times through the air before steadying himself. A tightness seized his chest, and surging blood filled his mouth. Feeling the metallic taste in his mouth, he forced himself to swallow it down! Narrowing his eyes at the old man, he pondered the power the elder had just unleashed... *Is this the power of an origin spirit?* *Formidable indeed!* Even he could not match that condensed, azure primal energy. It was an inherent difference in their fundamental power. Right now, what circulated within him was primal energy converted by a Nascent Soul. The old man, however, had broken through to the Soul Formation Realm, transforming his Nascent Soul into an origin spirit. His energy was far more refined, and his strength far greater. Moreover, Soul Formation cultivators could easily break the teleportation ability of Nascent Soul cultivators. Thus, he could only rely purely on the speed of his movement art to maneuver against his foe. A cold gleam flickered in the old man's eyes, yet the greed within them could not be hidden at all. Looking at Li Guanqi, he sneered, "I know you're strong, but you actually dared to come knocking at my door all by yourself. "I don't know whether you're foolish or just plain stupid. If I were you, I would have found a place to hide in seclusion and only showed my face once I was completely certain of victory." Hearing this, Li Guanqi let out a cold laugh. "Heh, which is why... you aren't me." *Boom!* The old man said nothing more. Primal energy surged around him as an azure light spread instantly across the void! Seeing this, Li Guanqi detonated the primal energy within him! Two mighty forces collided in the void, and the powers of their two domains began grinding furiously against each other! Yet Li Guanqi's domain was simply too powerful; even against the domain of a Soul Formation expert, he still held the upper hand. Even so, he knew very well that the time had come to risk his life! *Boom!* The fierce wind whipped the old man's white robes into a loud flutter. Sword in hand, he teleported, arriving at Li Guanqi's flank in the blink of an eye. Li Guanqi's heart leaped, and with a twist of his wrist, he slashed out several sword strikes in rapid succession! *Boom! Boom! Boom!* Sword light exploded, and the old man darted out from the dust and thunder in considerable disarray. He had not expected that even after teleporting right beside his foe, he would still be detected. Li Guanqi's divine sense blanketed the entirety of the Sword Prison; every spatial ripple within five hundred zhang fell completely under his control. *Whoosh!* Circulating the Flash-Thunder Movement Art, Li Guanqi left several afterimages in midair, pushing the power within his body to its absolute peak in that instant! The old man's pupils constricted violently, every hair on his body standing on end! A chill crawled up his spine straight to his skull as an aura of death enveloped him! "Demon Shadow Slash: Dark Night!!" *Boom!* In an instant, heaven and earth plunged into darkness, and the old man completely lost all trace of Li Guanqi. Just then, a thunderous sword light as dark as night materialized silently at his side! *Boom!* The old man abruptly swung his sword around. His origin spirit erupted with immense power, and his blade burst with an incomparably dazzling emerald light! Grasping the hilt with both hands, he slashed downward toward his side! With a contorted, ferocious roar, the old man bellowed, "Nine Lotus Swords!!" *Boom!* Azure sword light flared dozens of zhang wide and cleaved downward! *Boom! Rumble!* Violent explosions rang out as the terrifying shockwave caused both domains to tremble violently. Blasted back over a hundred zhang by the force, the old man suffered a violent churn of blood and vital energy, vomiting a mouthful of blood! The raging thunder tore his flesh and skin apart, leaving mangled, charred wounds behind. Yet before the old man could catch his breath, more than ten terrifying sword lights erupted in rapid succession! "Seven Fiends!" "Demon Subduer!" "Heaven Shatterer!!" He unleashed three of his greatest trump cards all at once! All his power erupted in that single moment! Unleashing these three sword strikes nearly drained the primal energy from his body! Feeling the dread of these sword lights, the old man was shaken to his core. His pupils quivered uncontrollably as he muttered in horror: "Impossible!!" "Even I was hit this hard by the aftershocks—how could he unleash such terrifying sword lights without pausing for even a single breath?!" Yet just as he turned to face them, he suddenly discovered that woven into those ten-odd sword lights was an overwhelmingly terrifying sword intent! Furthermore, flames coiled around the sword light, tearing jet-black fissures through the space wherever it passed. Flames burned along the edges of the fissures, refusing to dissipate... "H-Heavenly flame?!" *Boom!* In the blink of an eye, the sword light was already upon him! Through the raging storm of primal energy, the old man saw the young man, his flesh mangled and chest caved in, darting right through the tempest. Surrounded by thrashing lightning, those pure white eyes showed not the slightest trace of emotion, looking at him as if looking upon a corpse. When his peripheral vision caught the scarlet gleam of the longsword, a dreadful premonition gripped his heart. Primal energy roared out within him as his origin spirit shone brilliantly, and he slashed his sword dozens of times in succession! The Seven Fiends sword light detonated, but Demon Subduer and Heaven Shatterer followed in swift pursuit! The terrifying power of the heavenly flame incinerated the strength within the old man's sword light, while a scarlet glow flashed across the strike. The two sword beams shattered all opposing sword rays like splitting bamboo, flashing through the air in an instant! *Boom!* The fiery curtain was torn asunder, and the domain shattered! Two colossal sword lights, fully a hundred zhang long, instantly swept across the summit of the Crane Alliance's main peak! Immediately, two trench-like sword scars were carved across the cloud-piercing mountain! The entire main hall was sliced into three pieces. The old man's body was torn violently to shreds as countless raging thunder swords pierced him through in an instant! An exceptionally dense soul shot out, plunging into the void the moment it appeared. Terror filled its eyes! Yet to his shock, when he tore open space and plunged inside, he found that he had plunged straight into heavenly flame. Wei Xian was dead!
