"No, I can't die like this!"
The speaker was a Nascent Soul stage expert from the Xuan Yang Sect.
He frantically slipped his most powerful magical artifact onto his hand as quickly as possible. The artifact began to buzz as soon as it touched his hand.
He exerted all his strength, relying on the powerful force of the magical artifact, and slammed it fiercely towards the direction where Bai Ying was, disregarding everything else.
However, the surrounding formation was far too powerful and terrifying; his attacks were shattered by the lightning within the formation before they could even reach Bai Ying.
The raging lightning bolts, like angry dragons, roamed freely within the formation, tearing black rifts in the space wherever they passed, sparing no one within the formation.
On the brink of life and death, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He suddenly reached out, grabbing a cultivator beside him like a ghost, and then, with all his might, hurled the cultivator at a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket that was striking him. The cultivator didn't even have time to scream before being instantly engulfed by the lightning and reduced to ashes.
"Bai Ying, this is the first time I've used this secret technique. Today, I will make sure you die!"
His voice was distorted with rage and madness. This secret technique was his trump card, and he would never dare to use it lightly unless it was a matter of life and death.
Because once he unleashes it, he will inevitably pay a heavy price. His cultivation will plummet like an avalanche, dropping directly to the Foundation Establishment stage. Years of hard work will be in vain, and his former glory and status will vanish into thin air. However, even knowing the consequences are so severe, he has no choice but to take this gamble.
He stomped his foot suddenly, and his entire body instantly grew several times larger as if inflated. His originally tall figure now looked like a majestic small mountain, exuding a chilling aura.
At the same time, his hands moved rapidly, forming a series of complex and profound hand seals. As the hand seals changed, a large, extremely terrifying light slowly appeared in his hands, a light like a blazing sun, illuminating everything around him in a ghastly white light.
This ball of light was a spiritual energy blast condensed from the secret technique he used, containing enough power to destroy a small city. The cultivator clenched his teeth, blood slowly trickling from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the ground beneath his feet, where it was instantly evaporated by the violent power.
He stared intently in Bai Ying's direction, the spirit energy blast in his hand pulsating. Finally, as if reaching his limit, he hurled it towards Bai Ying's location!
The people around him were also watching him expectantly. Even if he only injured Bai Ying, they could attack Bai Ying together by sacrificing themselves!
Just as the ball of spiritual energy was about to touch Bai Ying, the already turbulent clouds surged even more violently, as if stirred by an invisible hand. Bolts of lightning, as thick as water vats and flashing with blinding light, poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens, carrying the power to destroy the world, and crashed down on the attack.
In an instant, the world was filled with dazzling light, and the terrifying impact made everyone's ears ring, as if their souls were about to be shaken out of their bodies.
The cultivator's all-out attack, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, was as fragile as an ant before the wrath of the heavens. It was easily and completely shattered, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the endless tribulation of lightning.
The cultivator was completely stunned, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the unbelievable scene before him, his mouth agape, yet unable to utter a sound.
He felt as if all the strength in his body had been instantly drained by an invisible monster, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.
His eyes were filled with terror, despair, and resentment. His face, which had become as pale as paper from using the secret technique, was now completely bloodless. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, dripping onto the scorched earth beneath his feet and instantly evaporating into wisps of water vapor.
At this moment, the lightning did not stop there. As if it had eyes, it instantly appeared above his head.
A strong will to survive surged within him, and he tried to turn and run away. However, he was no longer at the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation. His body had become heavy and sluggish, and the ability to teleport easily had become an unattainable luxury.
"Bai Ying, you will die a horrible death..." He roared these words with his last ounce of strength. However, before he could finish speaking, a thick bolt of lightning struck down, killing him instantly.
His body instantly turned into a cloud of ashes, drifting away in the wind, leaving not even a trace of bone behind, as if he had never existed in this world.
This terrifying lightning tribulation continued to roar, venting its fury.
Bai Ying's cold voice rang out:
"Have you exhausted all your methods? If so, hurry up and get on your way."
After saying this, Bai Ying drew her sword and used the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash in conjunction with the lightning on the killing array.
Her sword strikes were like a rainbow, slicing through the sky and creating a channel to absorb the power of lightning. Dazzling lightning surged into the blade, making the sword shimmer with lightning.
Bai Ying had been observing the lightning and had gained new insights.
She wielded the thunder sword in her hand, each swing bringing forth a blinding flash of lightning.
The lightning bolts, like nimble snake tongues, shot towards enemies in all directions. "Zzzzz..." Wherever the lightning struck, the air was instantly ionized, emitting a pungent odor.
One scream after another followed. Countless people died within this great formation.
Those outside the formation looked at Bai Ying with disbelief in their eyes.
This Bai Ying is truly an unprecedented monster. She was able to gain some insight even at such a time, and she was able to connect her swordsmanship with the lightning in the killing formation.
Her killer move was truly terrifying.
Fewer and fewer people are alive, and no one can break through this killing formation and leave.
The scene within the formation was like a vision of hell, filled with gruesome, desiccated corpses. Some were twisted and curled up, others stretched out stiffly, their empty eye sockets seemingly telling tales of their past fear and despair, their cracked lips seemingly still silently pleading for help. Blood flowed freely, pooling into dark red puddles that shimmered eerily in the sunlight, emanating a nauseating stench, turning the land into a sea of blood.
Many magical treasures were scattered randomly on the ground.
Bai Ying wasn't interested in these ordinary magical artifacts. She was a weapon refiner herself, and the magical artifacts she could refine were far superior to these.
Only a seemingly ordinary jade pendant caught Bai Ying's attention.
Bai Ying suddenly felt a burst of intense heat emanating from the jade pendant inside her body, seemingly related to the jade pendant in some way.
Bai Ying walked up to the jade pendant, picked it up, and planned to study it later.
Then she collected all the magical treasures on the ground and handed them over to Xuan Yuan Chen for the sect's use.
After completing all this, she looked at the last living enemy in the great formation, Qin Hua Zhenren.
