A cold glint flashed in Bai Ying's eyes, and the power from the violent jade pendant surged into her meridians like a torrent, instantly tripling her strength.
In an instant, her aura surged, her spiritual power boiled, and a layer of crimson, violent aura formed around her, scorching and distorting the air.
"die!"
She gave a cold shout, flipped her palm, and a dragon scale gleaming with a cold, eerie light suddenly shot out!
The purple-robed cultivator, who had been arrogantly shouting just a moment ago, turned pale upon seeing the dragon scale. His face instantly changed from red to green, and finally to deathly white. His hair stood on end, and an unprecedented sense of impending death crept up his spine like a venomous snake.
"What's this!"
He clearly saw the dragon scales emanating a suffocating pressure. Even more terrifying, the space around the dragon scales was slightly distorted, as if it could not withstand the terrifying power they contained.
At the critical moment, he hastily summoned his most prized defensive magic weapon, the Purple Gold Mystic Light Shield.
This shield was forged from a mixture of millennia-old purple gold and black iron, and its surface was engraved with defensive runes. It once helped him block a full-force attack from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Block it for me!" He frantically poured spiritual power into the shield, and the shield surface immediately shone with a dazzling purple-gold light, forming a thick spiritual power barrier.
However.
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the purple-robed cultivator's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.
His prized Purple Gold Shield was easily pierced like paper in front of that seemingly insignificant dragon scale!
The dragon scales continued their relentless assault with unstoppable force.
At the critical moment of life and death, a ruthless glint flashed in the purple-robed cultivator's eyes. He moved swiftly, his right hand shooting out like lightning, grabbing a Golden Core stage disciple who was watching the battle from the side.
"Master?!" The young disciple was completely bewildered. Before he could understand what was happening, he was pulled in front of the purple-robed cultivator by a tremendous force.
"It's your good fortune to be able to shield your master from calamity!" The purple-robed cultivator grinned maliciously, while his figure rapidly retreated.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion rang out, and the dragon scale struck the disciple squarely in the chest.
The violent power erupted instantly, and the poor disciple didn't even have time to scream before his entire body shattered like fragile porcelain.
Flesh and bones were vaporized under the terrifying energy impact, and even the soul could not escape, being completely shredded and annihilated.
The purple-robed cultivator took the opportunity to retreat dozens of feet, his back already soaked with sweat.
He stared intently at Bai Ying's figure in the distance, his heart churning with shock: "How can this girl's magical artifact be so powerful?! What is the origin of those dragon scales? They could so easily pierce my Purple-Gold Mystic Light Shield!"
He subconsciously touched the storage bag at his waist, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would be the one turned into a bloody mist by now. What alarmed him even more was that the aura emanating from the dragon scales made even a Nascent Soul cultivator like himself feel a chill.
However, while Bai Ying was manipulating the dragon scales with one hand, she was also manipulating the Kongtong Seal with the other!
The Kongtong Seal, suspended in mid-air, suddenly shone with golden light, like a majestic mountain, and fiercely suppressed another female cultivator in white!
"Not good!" The white-robed female cultivator's expression changed drastically. She rapidly waved her ice crystal fan, countless icy sword energies weaving into a net, attempting to block the suppression of the Kongtong Seal. However, the Kongtong Seal was a high-grade immortal artifact; how could ordinary spells possibly withstand it?
"Bang!"
The ice net shattered instantly, and the white-clad female cultivator groaned, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth as she staggered backward.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ying managed to force back two Nascent Soul stage experts at the same time!
The remaining five cultivators were deeply shocked by what they saw.
"This girl... she actually has such strength?!"
"She's only at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, how could she be so troublesome?!"
The gray-robed old man's eyes turned sinister as he shouted sharply, "Gentlemen, stop holding back! Attack together! Otherwise, no one will emerge unscathed today!"
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and a jet-black bone sword suddenly flew out. The sword was wrapped in a chilling ghostly aura, and wherever it passed, even light was swallowed up!
"Ghostly Soul-Devouring Sword! Go!"
At the same time, several other Nascent Soul cultivators also unleashed their strongest killing moves.
The red-haired strongman slammed his fists together, and the force of his punches transformed into two fire dragons that roared as they charged toward Bai Ying!
With a flick of his folding fan, the scholar in the green robe unleashed a torrent of wind blades!
The old woman in black robes cackled, and hundreds of poisonous gu flew out from her sleeves, each one powerful enough to corrode the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
The last silver-armored man formed hand seals, and a hundred-foot-long thunder spear suddenly condensed in the sky, slashing down at Bai Ying!
The five Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces and unleashed their deadly attacks!
The world suddenly changed color!
The raging spiritual energy formed a destructive storm, violently distorting the space within a thousand feet radius. The ground cracked inch by inch like a spider web, and distant mountains collapsed under the impact of the aftershocks, sending debris flying like rain. The entire area seemed to be the end of the world, with even the air being compressed and emitting ear-piercing explosions.
Bai Ying stood alone in the eye of the storm, her long, dark hair whipping wildly in the raging air currents, her robes fluttering in the wind. Facing a terrifying offensive capable of destroying a city, her eyes burned with a resolute determination more intense than any fighting spirit.
"Since we all want to die, let's die together!"
She let out a sharp shout and clenched her right hand tightly! The power within the berserk jade pendant was completely detonated, and crimson spiritual energy surged out of her body like a volcanic eruption. At the same time, the strange energy that corroded the jade pendant was also extracted without hesitation, and the two completely different yet equally terrifying forces intertwined wildly within her body.
"Clang!"
The longsword in her hand emitted a mournful cry, its blade instantly enveloped in a corrosive power as black as ink. Without any hesitation, Bai Ying fiercely swung her sword at the five deadly attacks coming at her!
"Boom!"
A jet-black sword beam swept out, leaving everything in its wake withered! The ground dried and cracked at a visible speed, vegetation withered and turned to ash instantly, and even the spiritual energy floating in the air was corroded away. The combined attack of the five Nascent Soul cultivators melted away as quickly as ice and snow under the blazing sun before this destructive sword force!
"puff!"
The gray-robed elder, who was closest, was the first to be hit. His protective aura was torn apart like paper, and a deep, bone-revealing wound was ripped open in his chest by the sword energy. Even more terrifying, the wound began to rot rapidly, and eerie black energy crept into his body along his meridians!
"This...this is impossible!" The gray-robed old man staggered backward, his cloudy eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
The other four Nascent Soul cultivators were equally horrified. Their prized killing moves had been broken by a mere junior at the half-step Nascent Soul stage with a single sword strike! At this moment, disbelief filled everyone's eyes.
