Her subordinate had already gone far away.
Li Hongzhuang was still pondering. Ji Wuyu, who was more frivolous than cultivation, was obviously not valued by her. But now, the situation had changed, and the imperial court had chosen another heir. There was no other choice but him.
Unless, Ji Yuyu had gone crazy.
In her opinion, this was unlikely. Ji Yuyu was a heartless person. Everything he did would be biased toward the side that was beneficial to him.
While she was thinking, she suddenly looked up at the sky. A light blue sword light descended from the sky, like a clone of the full moon. It was bone-piercingly cold.
She knew that this was the evolution of killing intent, so she naturally couldn't feel the slightest bit of warmth.
What would happen when one's anger arrived?
A slow, excited smile appeared on her face. "It's finally here!"
However, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened. The sword light was too fast, too fast. By the time she sensed its existence, it had already reached the sky above the courtyard.
There was no time to dodge. She had to resist!
"Su Xiaojian!"
She shouted. Blood-red energy surged out from her body, like dancing red maple leaves.
At a certain moment, the green sword had already nailed itself onto the invisible Qi domain. Blood-colored lightning burst forth from both sides, and a perfectly straight crack appeared on the two sides, piercing through several hundred meters. Not even the ten or so residences were spared.
The straight blood-red shockwave radiated in all directions, destroying everything as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. A few screams rang out. Those were the slow people who didn't notice the change in the Su Residence. Those who were sharp had already fled. How could they dare to linger around?
However, the shockwave was still spreading, as long as the blue sword didn't give up.
An unimaginably huge primordial spirit power circulated in the courtyard.
Li Hongzhuang suddenly felt sweet in her throat. She hurriedly swallowed it back, but it still seeped out from the corner of her mouth, dyeing her lips even more bewitching. She bitterly resisted the blue sword. She knew that its master's killing intent was boiling to the extreme, and he wanted to kill her no matter what.
"As expected of the man who dared to draw his sword against my master …"
He was completely different from when he was angry and when he was usually angry.
The blue sword's light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire courtyard.
Su Xiaojian descended from the sky with his left hand behind his back. The fingers of his right hand formed a sword, and the blue sword light illuminated his ashen face. "I know that no matter what I say, you won't let him go. So, you might as well use all your tricks!"
As he spoke, the green sword suddenly increased in strength, causing Li Hongzhuang, who was about to speak, to spit out a mouthful of dark red demonic blood. He staggered two steps back and hit the threshold of the central room.
`You don't care about your parents-in-law! 'she cried, frantic and angry. "If you want to break this Purgatory Formation, you'll need my guidance from the side. Otherwise, you'll end up just like them, a puddle of blood!"
Su Xiaojian turned to look at the central room and discovered that the ghostly fog was creating a terrifying illusion. He had heard of the "Purgatory Formation" that Li Hongzhuang spoke of. In the beginning, it was used by the Heavenly Smiths to melt metals with extremely high ignition points. After Liu Xingfeng defected to the Demon Race, it was modified by a powerful Demon Race cultivator and became what it was now. It was simple to set up, as long as the corpses and the Demon Race cultivator were the eye of the formation.
The Purgatory Formation was divided into Death Formation and Life Formation. There were as many as seventeen Death Formations and nine Life Formations. To break this killing formation, one had to move the eye of the formation and arrange them according to the stars in the sky. However, one had to follow the order of the person who set up the formation. Otherwise, the reversal of life and death would turn all the living creatures into blood.
At this moment, the ghostly fog spread outwards, indicating that the formation was expanding. There must be an expert inside.
Feeling the power of the green sword weaken, Li Hongzhuang thought that she had grasped Su Xiaojian's weakness. She was very pleased and narrowed her eyes. She said, "Su Xiaojian, I told you that you'd regret it! Not only you, but also your disciple, Yan Li. You've rejected my good intentions time and time again. You don't know what's good for you! You'll all regret it! "
Su Xiaojian withdrew his gaze and suddenly smiled. "This is even more proof that my trust and everything I've done are meaningful. And you've taken a fancy to his talent and power in the human world. You must know that he's not someone who can be controlled by others. If you insist on manipulating him, he'll naturally be like a hedgehog, wanting to prick your hand. Moreover, in my opinion, he's not just a hedgehog, he's a porcupine. After prickling your hand, he'll push you over. "
When he finished speaking, his sword fingers moved slightly, and the entire courtyard flowed with green sword light. It was like a flowing green sword river melted from clear splendor.
Seeing this sword realm, Li Hongzhuang's entire body tensed up. He screamed, "Su Xiaojian, you really don't care about their lives?"
"I'll tell you one more thing. I, Su Xiaojian, am also a person who can't be controlled by others."
There was no longer any warmth in Su Xiaojian's eyes. All that was left was a ghastly green light. Before he finished speaking, he raised his palm and slapped the hilt of the green sword.
From blossoming to scattering, the fiery red maple forest only took an instant. The process couldn't even be captured by the naked eye. The green sword reflected in Li Hongzhuang's beautiful eyes. It was as cold as death. It wanted to peel off her skin, flesh, and bones, exposing her soul to the miserable wind and cold rain. She would suffer the agony of death by a thousand cuts.
Her throat felt like it was being cut by a knife. She wanted to make a sound, but she couldn't.
This was the bitter fruit of thinking that she was infallible. Her mouth was filled with bitterness, but she was also very excited. This was because she had seen the dawn of a higher realm. If she survived this tribulation, she would advance further on the Heavenly List.
However, she didn't attach much importance to the Heavenly List. What she wanted was the corresponding authority. She wanted her master to be inseparable from her support, so that he could no longer underestimate her life and death.
The True Essence that filled the Source Sea was like a fruit farmer working hard in an orchard, and it was constantly transformed into the power of the Primordial Spirit. It appeared in the real world and transformed into a red maple to resist the green sword river.
"Above the Blue Abyss … Above the Heavenly Paradise, drawing the Milky Way down to the Nine Heavens … So this is what your Sword Realm relies on …"
She stared unblinkingly at it and murmured. The pain and pressure around her grew more and more intense. It was as if every inch of her body was being deeply pierced by needles and twisted fiercely. They were even intertwined and intertwined, transmitting to each other, adding to the pain.
She ignored it and greedily absorbed the comprehension she gained. It was as if as long as she could reach a higher realm, she could even give up this body that countless people coveted but could not obtain.
But her true essence was exhausted. Even if the true essence in the Source Sea was vast and boundless, how could it make up for the consumption?
In a trance, she felt like she was about to be thrown into the Purgatory Formation. Her body was about to split apart, and her comprehension was cut off.
The Life and Death Seal was only one step away!
Her life's memories flowed through her mind. No one knew that before she was ten, she had been a human. Before she could remember, she had been a slave in White Emperor City's Heavenly Demon Palace. She had suffered endless torture and suffering.
The Demon King had kept her by his side, but he had never been kind to her. That man was straightforward and magnanimous to everyone, but he was vicious to her. He often used different methods to torture her. After using countless methods and schemes, she had finally climbed to the position of Tower Master of the Blood-clothed Tower. Unexpectedly, she still could not get rid of him.
Ever since she had become his disciple, he had become harsher and harsher. As long as she made the slightest mistake, she would be punished several times more than others. It often made her miserable. From then on, she had an ambition, and that was the throne of the Demon King.
However, since a long time ago, the throne of the Devil Lord had been in the hands of the godson of the terrifying Devil Lord, a man who was as gentle as jade and had the elegant title of "Young Master Xiaoxiang" in the Jambu Kingdom.
Her memories ended there. Because the green sword river had already dominated the entire courtyard, there was no place for the fiery maple tree to stand. And the true essence in her Source Sea could not condense even a drop of Primordial Spirit power. She could not even conjure a single maple leaf.
Only the God Realm created by the power of the Primordial Spirit could resist the Sword Realm.
Just as she was about to enter the Purgatory Formation, she thought of how ugly she would look when she was torn into pieces. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the Purgatory Formation and hugged her by the waist. In the omnipresent sword river, he forcibly created an escape route. He put her down outside the courtyard, afraid that holding her for too long would be blasphemy.
"Hongzhuang …" He was dressed in silver and did not look very special. Only his pair of silver eyes made it hard to tell if he was a real person.
"Uncle Fang …" Li Hongzhuang smiled weakly. "Didn't I not let you out? I was so close to comprehending the 'Seal of Life and Death'!"
"If I don't come out, you will die. I won't let you die." Fang Xuanchuo spoke in an extremely soft tone, as if he was still a child. "The Purgatory Formation has more than three hundred variations. Even if Fan Qu Xing were to descend to this world, he would not be able to calculate the way to break the formation. You rest, I will deal with Su Xiaojian. "
"If we separate, we will only be defeated by him one by one."
Li Hongzhuang had this chance to catch her breath. Her Source Sea quickly condensed the Primordial Essence, and her face regained its color. This was something that could only be achieved at her realm. An ordinary earth Perfected Immortal would need at least a day and a night to recover.
She flew to the roof and happened to be at the same height as Su Xiaojian. Her eyes were still charming and seductive. "You almost succeeded in killing him. Unfortunately, you were so close. Next, the two of us will join forces. If you dare to use your full strength, we will naturally not be afraid. When that time comes, we will destroy millions of lives in Tianshangjing. The crime will fall on the heads of the Court Of Sword. "
Su Xiaojian seemed to be waiting for something and had no intention of replying.
"Let's negotiate now." Li Hongzhuang continued indifferently. "Go and capture Yan Li and hand him over to me. Let him experience the feeling of being betrayed, and I will let your father-in-law and mother-in-law go."
"Do you think that Yan Li's choice is betrayal?" Su Xiaojian asked.
Li Hongzhuang smiled sweetly. "I know what you are worried about. You are afraid of destroying many lives. Even if you save your father-in-law and mother-in-law, they will not be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives. Don't you humans care about these twists and turns? Therefore, you only have two choices. One is to forcefully attack, and the other is to exchange for Yan Li's life. "
"Your clever thinking is exactly the same as the humans you speak of," Su Xiaojian said sarcastically.
Li Hongzhuang was still smiling. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she was interrupted by a clear and pleasant voice.
"Mister Su, just focus on fighting them. Please leave the breaking of the formation to me!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people walking out from a doorway on the side of the courtyard. It was Ji Zhiyuan and Wei Ran.
