Chapter 671: Though All Worlds Fall to Silence, I Shall Not Die!
Yun Xiao remained composed. His left hand wielded a violet umbrella, inscribed with 22 Sacred Dragon Rune Prisons, spinning rapidly. The divine forms of the Prison Warden Dao Dragon materialized, shielding him from the onslaught!
With a roar, the umbrella morphed into a violet vortex, clamping down on the demonic winds of the red tempest. Violet clashed with crimson above, a deadly dance of the Prison Warden Sigil\'s purifying force against the malevolent spiritual force of Wind Fiend.
"I may be weaker, but the Prison Warden Sigil is her bane!"
The collision sent Yun Xiao hurtling back, while Wind Fiend, twisted and writhing, was smeared with the shadows of violet dragons. She recoiled into the form of a woman in a red robe, clutching her head in agony, the Prison Warden Sigil\'s power tormenting her greatly.
Yet, Yun Xiao suffered more. As he was repelled by the wind, a blood-red spike descended from the sky, aimed straight for his crown. The spike bore a phantom of devilish mien, faint yet foreboding.
They were not three against one in slow succession; these three deadly strikes happened in a blink, and only Yun Xiao\'s swift reactions dealt with them in time.
Even so, the blood spike was a hair-raising menace.
In that electrifying instant, Yun Xiao, though motionless, manifested his spirit above him. In its hands, a white lotus burst forth, shielding him from the spike. The petals exploded into 99 white dragons, biting at the shadow devil\'s manifested blood spirit!BOOM! At the same time, the four Suan Nis converged above Yun Xiao, forming a thunder array that struck at the shadow devil!
With a wet thud, the spike, disrupted, missed its mark, piercing Yun Xiao’s shoulder by three inches instead!
Hissing fiercely, blood serpents sprang from the spike, burrowing into Yun Xiao’s flesh!
His expression darkened, and his umbrella transformed into a dragon, enveloping his body. It expelled the spike and strangled the serpents into ashes!
From the first strike to Yun Xiao’s wounded shoulder, it all occurred in mere moments!
Indeed, Yun Xiao’s quick reactions and counterattacks left his powerful foes in awe, unable to fathom how a mere youth in the Golden Immortal Realm could push them this far.
Yun Xiao was not solely reliant on the four Suan Nis.
The shadow devil Xiu had lunged for the kill, only to be met with simultaneous strikes from Yun Xiao’s spirit and the four Suan Nis. He was blasted away in a spray of crimson. His manifested blood spirit reeled back into his body with a thunderous crash!
Yun Xiao’s expression turned icy as he soared higher, ready to strike again.
Having narrowly escaped the assassination attempt, Yun Xiao had no chance to rest; the blood spike in his shoulder was followed swiftly by deadly moves from Zhu Shenlu and Wind Fiend!
"Die!"
From the hands of Zhu Shenlu flew a Flying Sword, its fiery spirit morphing the blade into a phoenix that dove straight for Yun Xiao’s heart!
Almost simultaneously, Wind Fiend behind him transformed, exploding into hundreds of blood-red blades of wind that furiously slashed towards him.
Demon magic, Soul-Scattering Wind Blades!
"I\'m almost touched, demons, devils, and Immortals all working so well together," Yun Xiao quipped with a sarcastic smile.
Despite the wound on his shoulder, his combat strength remained unhampered. The four Suan Nis around him were an indomitable force, their power far from depleted.
"Come!"
With a roar from the Prison Warden Sigil, nine dragon heads emerged around Yun Xiao.
At his command, the four Suan Nis rushed to his side.
Yun Xiao reached out, grasping two of Suan Nis, while the dragon heads of the Prison Warden Sigil snapped onto the others.
In an instant, the Prison Warden Sigil and the thunderous might of the Suan Nis fused together!
In that moment, the power of the Thunder Immortal Formation surged through the Prison Warden Sigil, converging upon Yun Xiao.
With a booming explosion, his body erupted in blinding, destructive lightning!
His hair stood on end, each strand transforming into a dragon of thunder, roaring in fury!
A tremendous barrage of divine thunder gathered along the violet dragon patterns on his body, his eyes like pools of a storm, continuously flashing with electric light, illuminating the entire Thunder Department!
With a hum, the countless Immortals of the Thunder Department witnessed this defiance of the heavens, their hearts thunderstruck!
What sort of thunderous beast was this?
In their excited gazes, Yun Xiao suddenly spoke, each word thundering through the heavens!
"Though all worlds fall to silence, I shall not die!"
As Yun Xiao roared, his body became a nexus of thunder, gathering an endless storm of lightning which exploded in an instant!
Thunderous booms echoed as devastating waves of lightning burst forth from the youth, sweeping across the sky in blinding flashes.
Countless violet thunder dragons surged in all directions, striking at Zhu Shenlu, Wind Fiend, and the others!
In that instant, the Thunder Department was as bright as day under the flashes of lightning, and the roar of furious dragons shook the ground continuously!
"This is the strongest celestial magic of our Thunder Department—Nine Heavens World Quake!"
This signature move of the Nine Thunders Sovereign, now unleashed by Yun Xiao drawing on the power of the Suan Ni, formed a spherical current of electricity that exploded outward, engulfing everything around!
A sun made of thunder burst nine times in the sky of the Thunder Department!
The roars of dragons and Suan Nis even drowned out the shrill cries of Wind Fiend, as this corner of the world resonated with the purest and most fierce thunderclaps!
With a final booming flash, the thunderous sun exploded, sending waves of lightning hundreds of miles wide. In the sky above, it formed a colossal thunder lotus, blooming with fierce beauty!
This lotus, woven from threads of lightning, epitomized the sublime pinnacle of celestial magic!
The Immortals of the Thunder Department were stunned by this spectacle!
Yun Xiao\'s three formidable foes bore the brunt of the Nine Heavens World Quake, their assaults abruptly halted as they were forced to defend!
Even with all their might, under this apocalyptic thunderstorm, all three sustained injuries.
Zhu Shenlu was charred from the waist up, his face furrowed with dozens of cuts from the electric serpents, his eyes nearly popping out, and his sword cracked with electric fissures!
Wind Fiend, condensed back into the form of a woman in a red robe, was deathly pale, her body trembling, covered in soul-searing electricity!
Including the shadow devil Xiu, who suffered the worst under this indiscriminate assault; his lower body was completely blasted away, his cloak destroyed, revealing a face marred by blood serpents!
The trio\'s hearts felt as though they had been struck by thunder multiple times!
"The good news is, his coffin should be ineffective now," Zhu Shenlu rasped.
This was of utmost concern!
"The bad news is, in just two days, even without the Suan Nis, he now has the strength to face any of us alone..." Wind Fiend said with a tremble.
"He\'s nearly exhausted all the power of the Suan Nis; we can kill him now!" Shaking his head, Zhu Shenlu growled, his murderous intent surging even stronger!
"Let\'s go!"
And in that moment, Yun Xiao landed once again amid the trio, surrounded by a crackling halo of thunder.
"Flame Virtue General!" Yun Xiao eyed him with a familiar smirk, raising an eyebrow at the fiery Sword Immortal.
"What now?" Zhu Shenlu furrowed his brows, his gaze piercing.
"You seem to have misunderstood one thing!" Yun Xiao declared.
"What\'s that?" Zhu Shenlu gritted his teeth.
"Now, it\'s my turn to strike first!"
No sooner had Yun Xiao spoken than his body sprang into action!
Roaring, the four Suan Nis beside him, though greatly weakened, split into two groups, pressing towards Wind Fiend and Xiu.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Xiao’s cold gaze fixed on Zhu Shenlu!
He sheathed his Runic Umbrella, grasping only a Sword Soul in his hand. It was the Heaven Burial Sword Soul with only five Sword Prisons!!
The young man in platinum-white armor stepped forward like a tempest, holding an azure blade, staring coldly at the Flame Virtue General.
"I\'m giving you the full combo!"
The moment his words fell, Yun Xiao flicked his azure sword, which instantly transformed into a three-inch Flying Sword, shooting forth with fury!
His spirit clung to this Flying Sword!
At first, simple in its launch, the Flying Sword stirred a cosmic upheaval the moment it left his hand, gathering a supreme aura of doom!
HUM! A piercing clang tore through the celestial expanse!
Zhu Shenlu\'s complexion changed.
"Immortal Sword Court Flying Sword Technique, One Sword to Slay the Immortal!"
This was the Flying Sword, refined to the pinnacle of lethal intent—seemingly plain yet delivering utter annihilation!
And there, Yun Xiao\'s spirit guided the Flying Sword like a Sovereign Sword, a lotus blossoming in his hand.
Even if the Heaven Burial Sword Soul only had five Sword Prisons, the very presence of this white lotus caused Zhu Shenlu to panic.
"Break!" Zhu Shenlu suddenly swung his blade, splitting his Melting Sky Sword Soul in two, forming a pair of Palm Swords that intersected to block Yun Xiao’s devastating strike!
KLANG! Yun Xiao\'s Flying Sword was deflected, but the white lotus of his spirit crashed onto Zhu Shenlu\'s fire deity spirit.
Zhu Shenlu screamed, his head nearly splitting as he spat blood and was flung backward!
"He\'s so powerful! Too powerful!"
Before he could recover, Yun Xiao\'s was already upon him, reaching for the Flying Sword that had just been deflected, swiftly reforming it into a three-foot azure blade.
"Immortal Sword Court Palm Sword Technique, Three Suns Opening the Heavens!"
Zhu Shenlu\'s eyes widened, his scalp tingled as he steadied his body amidst spitting blood, channeling a tremendous surge of celestial power. His dual swords swept out like a fiery tornado, engulfing Yun Xiao’s sword with a storm of flames from 29 Sword Prisons.
Yet, what Zhu Shenlu couldn\'t have anticipated was the ferocity of Yun Xiao’s technique. With each strike, akin to three fierce suns colliding, three continuous slashes sent his Melting Sky Sword Soul flying!
"NOOOO!" As Zhu Shenlu roared with bulging eyes, Yun Xiao flicked his Sword Soul downward, leaping to stand on it as it transformed into a six-foot Sovereign Sword!
"Immortal Sword Court Sovereign Sword Technique, Nine Realms Counterflow..."
This was the final move in Yun Xiao\'s trio of attacks!
The moment his feet touched the Sovereign Sword, it spun wildly, turning the young warrior into a tide-master surfing the seas of the nine realms, stirring up a deadly storm!
CRASH! The mighty sword, like the seas of nine worlds, crashed into the chest of Zhu Shenlu!
"UGH..."
With a soul-severing pallor and a cry of agony, Zhu Shenlu was pierced through by Yun Xiao and sent flying 3,000 meters amidst the flashing lightning in the sky!
Thud, thud, thud!
"You..."
Zhu Shenlu was killed mid-air by Yun Xiao! His eyes were wide open in death! He died in fear!
And with that trio of moves—flinging the Flying Sword, following with a Palm Sword, and finally crashing down with the Sovereign Sword—Yun Xiao wasn\'t just deadly; he was devastatingly stylish!
This spectacle was witnessed by every Arbiter of the Thunder Department, their heads turned skyward, seeing everything clearly!
Thunderous cheers swept across the Thunder Department, triggering a greater earthquake.
"Heh." Yun Xiao, absorbing Zhu Shenlu\'s sword bone, turned back to look at the battlefield in the Cao Immortal Manor.
His heavenly defying performance had already subdued all opponents!
He knew the moment Zhu Shenlu fell, the battle to defend the Thunder Department was undoubtedly won.
"Next, harvest the fear of my enemies, and relish in the adoration of my supporters."
