"boom!"
The Crimson Serpent Old Monster slammed violently into the invisible array barrier, his flesh crushed and deformed, looking ferocious and terrifying.
A look of surprise flashed across his cloudy eyes. Before he could react, a blinding purple-gold lightning bolt suddenly cracked open above his head!
"Snap!"
The bolt of lightning, as thick as a water vat and carrying a world-destroying force, poured down from the heavens, instantly obliterating the Void Refinement stage poison cultivator who had roamed the Eastern Continent for thousands of years!
Even his painstakingly cultivated primordial spirit couldn't escape, and was completely annihilated in the lightning.
"Boom!"
Thunder rumbled, its residual power reverberating, and purple lightning crisscrossed within the entire formation, illuminating faces as pale as paper.
At that moment, everyone realized that they were not hunters, but trapped beasts!
"What... what kind of formation is this?" A Nascent Soul cultivator's voice trembled.
"Even Senior Chi Lian..." Someone staggered backward, their Dao heart nearly collapsing.
Bai Ying stood at the center of the formation, her white robes fluttering even without wind. She coldly swept her gaze over these so-called powerful beings; their greedy faces were now nothing but fear.
How arrogant were these people when they surrounded her before? Now they're scared.
"Didn't you all want to seize the treasure?" She lightly stroked the floating array plate with her fingertips, her voice colder than ten-thousand-year-old black ice, "Why aren't you moving?"
"Witch! Don't be so arrogant!" The Azure Sword Lord suddenly attacked, his natal sword "Cangming" transforming into a hundred-zhang-long azure light that pierced straight towards her brow. "Break for me!"
The space distorted wherever the sword's light passed; this strike was enough to split mountains and cleave seas!
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky.
Suddenly, an ancient longsword appeared in the formation. The blade was engraved with the sun, moon and stars, and the spine was traversed with mountains, rivers and plants. It was the ancient divine weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword!
"No..." The Azure Sword Master's pupils constricted sharply. He had dedicated his life to swordsmanship, yet now he saw his natal sword shatter inch by inch. As the dazzling sword light rebounded, he revealed a bitter, relieved smile: "So... this is... the ultimate realm of swordsmanship..."
The blood mist exploded, and the number one swordsman of Dongsheng Divine Continent died by the very swordsmanship he was most proud of.
The people at the scene became even more panicked.
"Witch! Do you know that there are elders from thirty-six major sects present today!" Master Ziyang's hair and beard stood on end as he crushed the communication jade slip. "If you dare to exterminate them all, you are planning to make an enemy of the entire cultivation world. You should think carefully about whether you really dare to do this..."
"Pfft."
Bai Ying suddenly burst into laughter. She casually manipulated the array patterns, and thousands of soul-binding chains instantly descended from the sky. "When you all came out in full force, you weren't planning on giving me a way out."
Chains coiled around their necks like venomous pythons. She tilted her head and chuckled softly, "Since you're all here..."
Outside the battle lines, the sunset glowed like blood, staining half the sky crimson, as if even the heavens were witnessing this massacre.
Bai Ying stood at the center of the formation, her robes fluttering, her dark hair dancing wildly in the wind. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, a mocking smile playing on her lips, her voice chillingly cold:
"Then don't leave."
"Arrogant!" an old man with white hair and beard shouted angrily, his whisk bursting with thousands of silver threads, yet it couldn't even shake the edge of the formation. His eyes widened in anger, and he rebuked, "You brat, what a big mouth you have! If you're so capable, don't use this ancient and ferocious formation, fight me fair and square!"
Before Bai Ying could speak, Tinglan Zhenren beside her had already sneered:
"Oh, you seniors certainly know how to find fault. You're all ancient monsters who've lived for thousands of years, why didn't you mention the word 'fairness' when you were besieging a little girl? And now you have the nerve to tell her to withdraw?"
He tapped his fan lightly, his smile chilling: "How about this, everyone first cripple your cultivation, then reincarnate and cultivate for another ten years or so, and then come back to ask for my guidance, how about that?"
"You!" The old man trembled with rage, but had no words to reply.
Bai Ying was too lazy to waste any more words with them. With a flick of her finger, the formation suddenly contracted, and countless killing intents surged towards the crowd like a tidal wave.
"Let them all die here."
Before the words were finished, a shadowy figure silently disappeared into the void; it was none other than the Ice Soul Fairy!
Her figure vanished like smoke, her breath vanished completely, and even the array failed to detect her immediately.
In the blink of an eye, she had closed to within three zhang of Bai Ying, a cold glint flashing from her sleeve.
"Clang!"
A thorn tempered with ten thousand years of cold poison suddenly pierced Bai Ying's back!
"We've succeeded!" Ice Soul Fairy's eyes flashed with wild joy.
However, her smile suddenly froze the next second.
Bai Ying didn't turn her head, but simply raised her left hand slightly.
"Pfft!"
The Ice Soul Thorn stopped abruptly an inch away from her skin, unable to advance any further!
"How is this possible?!" Ice Soul Fairy was horrified.
Bai Ying slowly turned her head, her eyes reflecting the other person's terrified face, and whispered:
"In my ranks..."
"Even breathing requires my permission."
"ah!"
Ice Soul Fairy's screams tore through the sky. Her right arm was shattered inch by inch by the power of the twisted void, flesh and blood exploded, and bones turned to ash!
However, she was, after all, a top-tier expert who had dominated the cultivation world for thousands of years. Even though she was severely injured, her eyes still blazed with boundless hatred.
"You bitch! Even if I have to use forbidden techniques and suffer serious injuries today, I will still make you die!"
She bit her tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and formed hand seals, causing countless blood-red runes to suddenly appear all over her body!
"Nine Netherworld Ice, all souls return together, offer sacrifice!"
This is the supreme forbidden technique of the Ice Soul Palace, the "Mysterious Ice Soul Burning Technique"! Using one's own primordial spirit as a guide, it summons the power of the Nine Netherworld Frost Prison. Once unleashed, an area of a thousand miles around will be transformed into an extremely cold death zone, where all things will perish!
