His first move was a combat technique that combined the two mutually restraining techniques of Beiming and Fenxin.
The clash between the two extremes of ice and fire caused a crimson stain to appear on Yu Xiyan's lips the instant her sword strikes.
There was no way around it; even with an innate Dao body and the Ice Phoenix bloodline, the gap between the fourth rank of the Nirvana Realm and the Supreme Realm was simply too great.
"You go first, I will cover your retreat!"
Yu Xiyan's eyes were filled with determination. She held her sword horizontally to block the way, determined to fight her way out for Shen Zhao's best friend.
“Miss Yu, this matter has nothing to do with you.”
"Yes, Miss Yu, you should leave quickly. I believe you have the strength to break through."
"Given our friendship, you wouldn't risk your life for us like this."
Although Ding Bu'er and his group of five were all the sixth in command, they would not let innocent people be implicated. They decisively let Yu Xiyan leave first, their expressions completely unpretentious.
But Yu Xiyan shook her head: "Since you are Shen Zhao's close friends, I will help you escape danger even if it means my death. Go quickly, they can't do anything to me!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was immediately enraged and embarrassed, while at the same time, doubt arose in his heart.
"When did Yu Xiyan become so concerned about Shen Zhao's feelings? Could it be that before I met her, she still had feelings for Shen Zhao?"
After all, he only met Yu Xiyan nine years after she ascended the throne, and Lin Feng didn't know much about her past with Shen Zhao.
At this moment, Ning Ruoxue spoke up: "Today, none of you will leave. You will all stay here for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elders of the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land, who had been hiding in the shadows, all appeared on the scene.
Dugu Xin frowned: "This is bad. It seems we won't be able to wait for the Empress and Elder Shen. We must save them."
Hu Guangshan was shocked: "Elder, are you joking? Look, there are three Supreme Realm experts here. If the few of us make a move, it's like tadpoles stirring up a big river; we can't cause any trouble at all."
Zhang Danfeng wholeheartedly agreed: "Although the atmosphere here is indeed incredibly tense, if we were to step in now, wouldn't that be tantamount to suicide? Let's think things through first."
Dugu Xin clenched his fists. He had made up his mind that he had to take action today, even if it meant buying time to help Yu Xiyan and the others escape.
Just then, Xu Ning made his move even earlier than Dugu Xin: "Damn it, I've been holding back for two and a half chapters, and this scene looks like it's going to explode if I look at it again, so I've decided to stop enduring it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked over the table and rushed out.
"I am Xu Ning, if you're not happy, come and chop me up."
However, his cool demeanor only lasted three seconds.
Xu Ning couldn't even withstand half a move from the elder of the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land before being knocked to the ground.
"Pfft~"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xu Ning's face was full of indignation: "A Nirvana Realm cultivator beating a Soul Sea Realm cultivator like me? You're really something else! I'll remember you!"
You'd better not let me leave here alive today, or the first thing I'll do after I get away is dig up your ancestral graves!
"So noisy!"
The Ninth Elder unleashed a palm strike, the destructive force aimed directly at Xu Ning.
"I am doomed!"
Just as Xu Ning closed his eyes and awaited death, Dugu Xin finally made his move, taking the blow for him.
"Um?"
Sensing the familiar palm strike, the Ninth Elder looked at the disguised newcomer and asked, "Who are you?"
Dugu Xin: "I am Hu Yidao, the Flying Fox of Snow Mountain. I cannot stand by and watch you bully others like this!"
The Ninth Elder frowned: "Hu Yidao? Where's your knife?"
Dugu Xin: "Who told you that someone whose name contains the character for 'knife' must actually own a knife? Does having the surname 'Qian' automatically mean someone is rich?"
He then said to Xu Ning and the others, "You are not capable of playing such a high-level game, so you should leave quickly."
Yu Xiyan: "Senior, what about you?"
Dugu Xin confidently said, "Don't worry, I won't die. My reinforcements are on their way and will arrive soon."
Ning Ruoxue: "Men, take all of these people down!"
"yes!"
The elders of the Heavenly Sacred Land immediately went all out to hunt down and kill these parasites who had disrupted the ceremony.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly entangled, Yuwen Xuanji, unable to bear it any longer, roared: "A bunch of ignorant ants, today I will make sure you all die on the spot!"
Having said that, he circulated his spiritual energy, condensing it into a hundred-foot-tall demon god form. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding air pressure plummeted.
"This is bad. It seems we are all going to die here today!"
"Supreme Realm experts are too powerful; they are truly unbeatable!"
"What a pity, it's so freaking unfair that he died like this."
Everyone was filled with despair as they watched helplessly as the demonic hand descended from mid-air.
"I'm sorry, Shen Zhao, I couldn't make it up to you in this life!"
Yu Xiyan was filled with resentment. She was not afraid of death, but she had not yet made up for what she owed Shen Zhao, and there were many things she had not yet said to her.
"Roar~~"
At the critical moment, auspicious seven-colored clouds appeared in the sky, accompanied by the long roars of dragons.
A golden dragon, formed from condensed true essence, cleaved through the clouds and shattered the demonic form.
"Pfft~"
The moment the demonic form shattered, Yuwen Xuanji's primordial spirit was damaged, and he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood. He felt a booming sound in his mind, causing him unbearable pain.
"Who goes there!?"
Looking up at the sky, one can see a golden-winged roc, tens of feet tall, spreading its wings and soaring straight up into the sky, piercing through the heavens and plunging down.
The two figures standing atop the roc exuded an imposing aura without anger, gracefully descending towards the Azure Cloud Palace.
Ah~
Yuwen Xuan was in excruciating pain. After a bloodcurdling scream, his head exploded, and he died on the spot.
"Ah, that's Zhulong Zhen!!??"
Those cultivators who were fortunate enough to witness Shen Zhao's killing of Lü Baichuan unanimously shouted out the name of this move.
The next moment, Shen Zhao and Mu Qiuyao appeared proudly in front of everyone from Biyun Immortal Palace.
