Chapter 1393: 3 Lives of Fortune
Under the relentless attack, the entire sky was shrouded in darkness, and the surrounding winds howled. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the lightning tribulation hanging overhead or the attack about to strike was more terrifying.
In his desperation, the Ye family head's spiritual energy reversed, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood and sway several times.
Upon seeing this, Ye Suian instinctively wanted to step forward, but the threat posed by the flashing lightning overhead made him stop in his tracks.
The boy's eyes showed a hint of confusion and helplessness.
"How to do?"
He couldn't go forward, otherwise he wouldn't be able to help them, and the tribulation lightning that could descend at any moment might also implicate these disciples whose cultivation was still shallow.
Various lights flashed across the battlefield, talismans and magical artifacts shone brightly, and everyone tried their best to resist, but with such a huge gap in cultivation levels, it was all in vain.
The defensive talismans shattered one after another, and the magical artifacts split in two. Just as the tragedy was about to unfold, the atmosphere above the entire battlefield fluctuated violently once again.
"Look! What...what is that?"
Some sharp-eyed people immediately noticed the change in the sky above, their voices almost changing tone, filled with unconcealed fear and panic.
God knows what the other party did this time.
Their nerves were on the verge of collapse under immense pressure.
Faced with the imminent threat of death, everyone forgot to even think about running away; their feet felt like they were made of lead, and they couldn't move at all.
He could only stare blankly as he looked up, and through the countless torn talisman fragments and the impenetrable demonic energy, he finally saw the strange phenomenon that had suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, a familiar black hole appeared in mid-air. Then, cracks appeared one after another on the edge of the black hole, expanding like a spider web. From the dark vortex inside, a sword light appeared out of nowhere.
"It's Gu Xia!"
They suddenly remembered that this was the black hole that had sucked Gu Xia away not long ago.
The fact that this thing has appeared out of nowhere means...
Does this mean Gu Xia is likely alright?
The thought of this possibility caused everyone's breathing to quicken instantly.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the cracks at the edge of the black hole grew larger and larger, and then collapsed with a roar.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a streak of light flashed out from within. Before the person could even make out their face, the sword energy arrived first, severing dozens of crescent-shaped arcs in one strike.
Gu Xia rushed out just in time, expressionless, raised her hand and made a sword incantation, while simultaneously sending the Annihilation Sword forward, its spirit disappearing into the scabbard.
The heavy pressure fell easily, forcing the blades formed from demonic energy to a halt with an unstoppable force, before being forcefully broken by a powerful force.
The man stared intently at the figure, "Gu Xia."
He will never forget this name in his entire life.
Gu Xia smiled.
The girl raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the ground, and countless white sword shadows multiplied, hovering in the air around her.
This time, however, their sharp edge was aimed at all the demonic cultivators on the field.
Those who are to die today—
Gu Xia spoke calmly and indifferently, "It can only be you."
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of sword shadows, carrying powerful spiritual energy, swept into the demonic cultivators with overwhelming force.
In an instant, it swept across a vast area, and countless demons who had no time to defend themselves fell on the battlefield.
The Ye family disciples at least had the Ye family head and a group of elders protecting them at the cost of their lives, but the situation changed drastically when it came to the demonic cultivators.
All demonic cultivators share the same idea.
It doesn't matter whether your companions live or die, as long as it's not them who die.
The result was a complete mess.
Some demonic cultivators who fell to the ground and were unable to get up did not even die by sword, but were trampled to death by their frantically fleeing companions.
Seeing his subordinates in complete disarray, the man's face contorted with rage. He gathered demonic energy in one hand, attempting to knock Gu Xia down from her high position.
But even faster than him was Gu Xia's speed. Countless sword shadows dealt with the demonic cultivators on the field. The man's attack struck her, only to find that it was just an afterimage.
Just as he turned his head in astonishment and subconsciously searched for Gu Xia's figure, a golden arc of light fell at an exceptionally tricky angle, striking his skull with swift, accurate, and ruthless precision.
For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see his great-grandmother.
...If a creature like a Great Demon also had a lot of milk.
Gu Xia gave him no chance to react. With a flash, she closed the distance again. The sword light flashed like a dragon. In the critical moment, the man quickly leaned back.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, that sword would probably have slashed his throat.
"Hide? Where are you going to hide?"
Gu Xia sneered, then turned around, gathering spiritual energy under her feet, and kicked out mercilessly, hitting her opponent squarely in the waist.
Compared to other areas, the waist is more vulnerable. Her heavy kick was clearly intended to kill him. The intense pain almost split his body in two, and even the Great Demon couldn't help but scream.
"Does it hurt?"
Gu Xia retracted her leg, dodging his scythe again, and severed half of his arm with a single sword strike. "Weren't you so arrogant when you locked me up using your natal artifact?"
"Come on, try locking me up again if you dare."
The man was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Lock her up again? How?
She had already wrecked the magical artifacts, so now, aside from providing a boost to his own combat power, he had no ability to imprison her again.
He didn't understand why Gu Xia had suddenly become so violent. Ever since she came out, he had been on the defensive, not even having time to calm down and think. In just a few dozen seconds, his body was covered with wounds of varying depths.
The Great Demon has a strong ability to recover. Although these injuries are unbearable, they are not enough to damage the body's foundation.
Obviously, if he could think of this, Gu Xia couldn't possibly not.
However, this rapid and intense attack clearly seemed to be an act of venting anger.
As the sword energy swept past, Gu Xia severed his other arm, her expression cold. "This sword strike is for the senior who helped me get out."
Spiritual energy enveloped the sword, causing it to radiate a chilling light.
"And this sword is for the countless innocent cultivators who died and whose souls were destroyed because of you beneath the sea of blood."
The man screamed as his lower body plummeted to the ground from mid-air.
Everyone gasped in shock.
If I'm not mistaken, the man who was just so arrogant and held their lives in his hands was actually cut in half at the waist by this one sword.
Even the arrogant demonic cultivators who had been shouting and killing them were reduced to utter defeat under the shadow of countless swords.
Gu Xia controlled the entire Ye family.
It was clearly the Ye family's home turf, yet they didn't even deserve to have their names mentioned.
However, after glancing at the miserable state of those demons, some people subconsciously shuddered.
Oh no, they don't actually need to have names.

"Junior sister, we're here to help you—"
Ye Suian's voice stopped abruptly, and he swallowed the rest of his sentence, leaving only a slight tremor at the end.
amount.
Judging from this, it seems Gu Xia doesn't really need them, huh?
Across the chaos and screams of the battlefield, he turned his head and exchanged a glance with Jiang Chaoxu. As expected of fellow disciples, the other quickly understood his meaning.
Ye Suian: 'What's wrong with Gu Xia? She seems so irritable.'
More than just irritable, Jiang Chaoxu glanced over there and thought that the other person was probably about to be played to death by Gu Xia. He silently returned the look.
'Although I don't know why, my gut feeling tells me that it's best we don't provoke her right now.'
Otherwise, they might be indiscriminately attacked and their friendly forces would suffer heavy losses!
The two brothers exchanged knowing glances and discussed animatedly, leaving Mu Qingzhou completely out of their 'two-person world'.
"No?" He looked at this one, then at that one. "Did your Taiyi Sect create a language that belongs only to you?"
What did he say? He wanted to hear it too.
However, Ye Suian soon heard Gu Xia's voice. She cleaved the man in two with her sword and quickly spoke while he was trying to recover after falling into the pit, "Third Senior Brother."
"I'm here."
“You can handle those who slipped through the net on the field. As for him—” Gu Xia’s tone changed, “I’ll deal with him myself.”
Ye Suian smiled slightly. "Okay."
At the same time, he didn't forget to cast a sympathetic glance at the man who was still screaming in agony.
"Bye bye~"
Although they didn't know what Gu Xia would do, it didn't stop them from having a strange confidence in their junior sister.
The other party is clearly in for a lot of trouble now.
"Ha...hahahahahaha—"
A chilling low laugh echoed from inside the pit, then grew louder and louder.
Gu Xia looked at the other person calmly and saw that their recovery speed was faster than she had expected.
but it does not matter.
She twirled her sword and calmly thought things through.
All must die.
The man who crawled out again looked much more disheveled than before. Although being cut in half wouldn't kill him, it was still a serious injury.
A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes. "You're wielding your sword for those worthless trash I've refined?"
"Interesting, really interesting."
"They themselves are too weak, yet they are fortunate enough to become materials for refining my spiritual weapon. As for you—"
His tone shifted, and he gave a sinister laugh, "Gu Xia."
"What right do you, a mere brat, have to judge me?"
"Bullshit about being so lucky."
Gu Xia retorted without hesitation, "According to you, if I capture you, extract your soul, destroy your spirit, and refine you, do you want that blessing?"
It's true that the world of cultivation is a dog-eat-dog world, but that's their own business.
Where is it fair that demons lord it over here?
"As for what qualifications I have?"
A smile played on her lips, the glint of the sword reflecting in her bright eyes. "Of course, it's because of..."
"This sword of mine!"
Sword energy crisscrossed, and clouds stirred in all directions.
A massive sword shadow hung in the sky, as if the entire world had been torn in two.
The man's laughter stopped abruptly, and his pupils dilated.
His primordial spirit was actually cleaved out by this sword.
