"Sword Qi Thunder Sound!!"

The middle-aged man's face showed shock as he hastily summoned a yellow earth-colored mirror. The mirror suddenly emitted a dazzling light, forming a yellow earth-colored barrier to block the Sword Qi.

Boom!

A tremendous sound reverberated, shaking the surroundings as Spiritual Qi surged from the center like a tide, spreading outward with invisible ripples.

"Crack!"

Numerous cracks quickly appeared on the yellow earth-colored barrier, as if it could collapse at any moment. In the next instant, the barrier finally couldn't hold on and exploded with a 'bang'.

Finally, the Sword Qi heavily struck the yellow earth-colored mirror, knocking it backward, but the Sword Qi also dissipated completely.

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Ping, filled with shock, as if seeing him for the first time.

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound!"

The elder said word by word, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Having just broken through to Foundation Establishment and already able to comprehend Sword Qi Thunder Sound on his own, such talent increases the likelihood of breaking into the Golden Core Realm. Even future comprehension of the second level of Sword Qi isn't impossible.

Letting such a genius grow smoothly could bring endless trouble to their sect, so he must be eradicated in the bud.

The elder held the hooked sabre with both hands, and golden streams surged into the blade, making it seem as if it was set ablaze, emitting dazzling light.

"Break."

He uttered a low shout, bringing the sabre down with a swing, and golden light burst forth, extending into a serpentine blade light dozens of feet long.

The golden light broke through like a fire dragon, and wild winds swirled around.

"Slash!"

Xu Ping's face was grave, channeling all his Mana into the Purple Sun Sword for a powerful slash.

Boom!

Sword Qi erupted from the sword tip, clashing with the earth-shattering thunder sound and the twisting blade light.

The Sword Qi and blade light collided, sharp energies and spiritual brilliance swept in all directions.

At this moment, Tan Shuyi finally came to his senses, showing ecstasy, and shouted, "At all costs, save Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Is this the Sword Qi Thunder Sound?

Even at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment can engage in a fierce battle with Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Wouldn't breaking through to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment allow one to challenge even Fake Pill Masters?

Before the words finished, Tan Shuyi threw his yellow earth-colored alms bowl toward the elder.

Comprehending Sword Qi Thunder Sound at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, such talent and value are much higher than the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

Other Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances and also decided to take action.

Instantly, spiritual lights filled the sky, enveloping the middle-aged man and the elder.

...

North Gate.

When the array at the South Gate was broken, the cultivators on-site sensed this massive change.

"South Gate... broken?"

"How did this happen?"

"Another Third Rank Demon King appeared?"

...

Countless people panicked; if one city wall is lost, how can they defend?

Hongyi's expression changed drastically, and immediately, his aura began to surge to Fake Pill status.

He only had time to leave a "Hold your ground," before transforming into an Escape Light and flying toward the South Gate.

At this moment.

Boom!

A thread of Sword Qi soared into the sky with rumbling thunder sounds, and the sharp aura that followed sent a shiver through Hongyi's heart.

"Is this... Sword Qi Thunder Sound?"

"What's happening at the South Gate?"

Hongyi's face was filled with shock, unable to think further, his Escape Light sped up.

...

Outside Qiu Xuan Immortal City.

Three Third-Rank Demon Beasts were in a fierce battle with Qiu Xuan Zhenren and Zihuan Master, continuous booming sounds deafening the ears.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just a short second, both parties clashed several times, the waves of spiritual energy fluctuations from their battle would be enough to kill a First Rank Demon Beast.

Suddenly!

Boom!

A loud noise came from the South Gate.

"The array is broken?" Qiu Xuan Zhenren's brows furrowed, heart alert, his Divine Sense instantly spread out, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, the rats hidden in your Immortal City have revealed themselves, but was the commotion just now from breaking the Third-rank Array using a Quasi-Tier Three Breaking Charm?"

Zihuan Master forced back a Third-Rank Demon King, approached Qiu Xuan Zhenren with a gloomy face.

"I'm afraid so." Qiu Xuan Zhenren nodded with a grim expression, with one side of the Third-rank Array broken, although the Immortal City won't be completely lost, defending against this crisis would likely require a heavy price.

"Which force could it be?" Zihuan Master fell into deep thought; few factions in Yue Country could produce a Quasi-Tier Three Breaking Charm.

Moreover, if Qiu Xuan Mountain is broken, and the beast tide enters the heart of Yue Country, it would be a significant threat to all forces.

Roar!

At this time, the three Demon Kings roared, their sound shook the surroundings, and immediately, the demon beasts attacking other gates of the Immortal City turned to rush toward the South Gate opening.

Third-Rank Demon Kings have intelligence almost equal to cultivators, naturally knowing to beat a dog while it's down.

"Fellow Daoist Zihuan, we might have to show our true capabilities." Qiu Xuan Zhenren said solemnly, realizing that only by driving away these three Third-Rank Demon Kings, Qiu Xuan Immortal City could survive this crisis.

"Understood." Zihuan Master nodded.

At this moment, a surge of Sword Qi accompanied by thunder sounds erupted from the South Gate.

"Is this... Sword Qi Thunder Sound?"

The two showed surprise, but when they 'saw clearly' that it was Xu Ping who wielded the Sword Qi Thunder Sound, their expressions differed.

Qiu Xuan Zhenren showed excitement, while Zihuan Master displayed a slightly complex emotion.

"Fellow Daoist Zihuan, take action!"

Qiu Xuan Zhenren decisively summoned his most powerful magical artifact—the Vermilion Bird Ring.

Chirp!

A high-pitched bird cry sounded, flames ignited around the ring-shaped magical artifact, forming a magnificent bird ablaze with fire, spreading its wings and flying towards the three Demon Kings.

Sizzle!

Vermilion Bird Flame burned the sky, enveloping the three Demon Kings.

Seeing this, Zihuan Master did not hesitate, releasing a white orb that formed into a mountain-like size when met with the wind.

Then he quickly made hand seals, and seven starry patterns appeared on the surface of the white giant orb.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dozens of starlights fell like raindrops, striking the three Demon Kings.

With the two exerting their full strength, the three Demon Kings fell into a disadvantage, but with their tough hides and strong defense, the two couldn't do much to them in a short time.

At this moment, a blood-colored blade light slashed from a distance, swiftly sweeping across the Vermilion Bird Flame, faster than even falling lightning.

Spiritual Qi exploded, shaking the surroundings, the Vermilion Bird Flame was instantly extinguished, dispersing as sparks in the void.

The blood-colored blade light flew back, falling into a robust hand, revealing a crimson battle axe, with faint red lines flickering on the axe surface.

The owner of the robust hand was a burly man in a blood robe, eight feet tall, red hair draping over his shoulders, eyes dark red, exuding a terrifying Evil Qi all over.

"Yiyang, it's you!"

Qiu Xuan Zhenren showed anger, demanding sternly, "Was it you from the Myriad Phenomena Sect who destroyed my Qiu Xuan Mountain Array? Aren't you afraid of sparking a war between Hu and Yue countries with such actions?"

The blood-robed man in front was named Yiyang, an elder in the Myriad Phenomena Sect of Hu Country, in the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

"Hahaha, war between the two countries? Our Myriad Phenomena Sect has precisely that intention!"

A cloud roared as it flew rapidly from afar, landing dozens of feet away in a blink, and within the cloud, a hearty, wild laugh sounded.

"Ou Xuan!" Zihuan Master's pupils contracted.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zihuan to still remember little me, truly honored." The black cloud slowly dispersed, revealing a purple-faced, black-robed man with a very imposing appearance.

His aura also reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

"Your Hu Country is only a medium-sized nation, do you want to go for a mutual destruction with our Yue Country?" Zihuan Master's face was extremely gloomy.

Revealing two Golden Core elders, and destroying Qiu Xuan Immortal City, does the Myriad Phenomena Sect really plan to attack their Yue Country?
