Indeed, fighting against so many elders single-handedly for so long should be a source of pride, but today is destined to be the end for Xuan Ying. This was all a trap set by Lian Jing; he should have fled long ago when he learned of it.
"Lian Jing, let me leave, or I'll self-destruct right here." Even if I die, I'll drag many geniuses down with me.
"You dare!" Lian Jing roared.
“What do I have to be afraid of? You know the truth of the matter better than I do. Now you want me to be a scapegoat and take all the blame for you? You’re dreaming.”
"I urge all elders to act quickly, regardless of life or death," Lian Jing finally made up his mind.
The Grand Elder hurriedly activated the array within the Water Cloud Palace and instructed the other elders to work together to reinforce the array and prevent any losses to the disciples: "Xuan Ying, you must stop being so stubborn."
"Isn't it all because you forced me to this point?"
"Once you self-destruct, you will be completely annihilated, without even a chance to be reincarnated."
"So what? I, Xuan Ying, will never live a life of dishonor." Now that things have come to this, neither the Palace Master nor the Grand Elder will let him go; he has absolutely no hope of survival.
Xuan Ying began to self-destruct magical artifacts, throwing them towards the disciples. Several elders were seriously injured while protecting their disciples.
The sound of explosions echoed continuously throughout Shuiyun Palace. Xuan Ying's angry roars and the elders' curses mingled together, occasionally punctuated by the disciples' terrified cries.
"Lead your disciples away from Shuiyun Palace immediately," Lian Jing ordered with a dark face.
Xuan Ying's magical artifacts had almost completely self-destructed, and his body was covered in countless wounds. The elders who had attacked him were also injured.
"Xuan Ying, surrender now!"
"Hahahaha, do you think you can escape?" Xuan Ying laughed loudly, burning all his true essence. He forcibly suppressed all his injuries, and his dark eyes turned blood red. His body emitted specks of light, and he actually began to burn his life force.
"Set up the formation!" The elders of the Punishment Hall roared and quickly set up the formation, completely surrounding the Xiangxiantuan.
Xuan Ying's combat power is now almost equivalent to that of the Tribulation Transcending stage; the power of burning life force is indeed incredibly terrifying.
After this battle, Xuan Ying will undoubtedly die. The other elders are all at the late Nascent Soul stage, while the Third Elder and the two elders of the Punishment Hall are at the Mahayana stage. They are not very confident in facing Xuan Ying now, and can only hold him off until his energy dissipates, at which point it will all be over.
However, a single realm difference between high-level cultivators is a world of difference, not to mention the several minor realm differences in between.
Soon, several Nascent Soul elders were severely injured and lost their fighting ability. One of them even had his heart meridian shattered and died.
Even Jing hadn't expected Xuan Ying to be so ruthless. The Shuiyun Palace was filled with the smell of blood, and various explosive energies were rampaging. It was only because of the formation that the Shuiyun Palace remained unscathed; otherwise, it would have been blasted into dust long ago.
Lian Jing remained seated on the throne, seemingly awaiting the final outcome.
Xuan Ying felt an incredibly powerful force at this moment. Although he knew that this force was only temporary and even obtained at the cost of his own life, he still couldn't help but feel excited. His mind was filled with nothing but mad killing. Only killing could excite him more.
The other elders realized that he had gone mad with his cultivation, and sure enough, the attack from the Xuan Ying on the formation became even more powerful.
"Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, if you don't act now, when will you?" the First Elder roared.
The Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder immediately rushed into the formation and began to attack the Xuan Ying who had already gone mad with demonic possession.
From the Second Elder's sneak attack on the First Elder, to the descent of a True Immortal, Lian Jing's admission of wrongdoing, to Lian Jing's sealing, and now the siege of Xuan Ying. So many things have happened in the Illusionary Heaven Palace in such a short time, each one earth-shattering, a veritable earthquake. Not to mention the sheer volume of events piled up together—it's a nightmare for the Illusionary Heaven Palace.
Xuan Ying continued his tireless attacks on the formation. This formation could gather everyone's combat power together and form a solid defensive shield to withstand attacks. However, its weakness was also obvious. As long as a weak point was found and broken, the power of the entire formation would naturally decrease significantly. If no one replaced it in time, the entire formation would be completely destroyed.
The elders were well aware of this, and Xuan Ying was naturally well aware of it as well. Therefore, under Xuan Ying's precise attacks, the entire formation began to crumble, and several elders with slightly weaker combat power had already died under Xuan Ying's palm.
Now, five elders have been killed by Xuan Ying. In addition to Xuan Ying, the Grand Elder who has lost his fighting power, and Lian Jing, the core fighting force of the entire Illusionary Heaven Palace has been weakened too much.
No, this can't go on. Xuan Ying is destined to die. He's just struggling in his death throes. We can't let him continue to slaughter people.
"Elder, please ask the Supreme Elder to intervene and execute the traitor Xuan Ying."
"Please be careful, Palace Master." Bai Wu turned and left Shuiyun Palace.
"You're too late, I've already arrived."
Bai Wu looked up and saw the Supreme Elder, dressed in clean white robes like an ordinary person, standing above the clouds. Beside him stood Yi Ruowu, dressed in a white gauze dress, her face veiled in white gauze, as pure and holy as a fairy.
Bai Wu was startled; the Supreme Elder had actually been invited by Yi Ruowu.
"We beg the Supreme Elder to take action and kill the Xuan Ying."
Yi Ruowu flew to Bai Wu's side: "Please rest assured, Elder, I have informed the Supreme Elder of all the crimes that Bai Wu committed."
Sure enough, the moment the Supreme Elder appeared in the Illusionary Heaven Palace, everyone stopped what they were doing.
"You may all step back."
The elders quickly withdrew, and the Supreme Elder came to Xuan Ying's side: "He is cruel and ruthless, harming his fellow disciples. According to the sect rules, he will have his tendons and bones extracted and his primordial spirit destroyed." No sect can tolerate traitors, and the Illusionary Heaven Palace is no exception.
"Do you think a dying man would still care about so-called sect rules?" Xuan Ying sneered, and in the next second, he pounced on Lian Jing on the throne like lightning. Xuan Ying had foreseen his own end from the beginning and never thought he would survive, but he would never let Lian Jing go, even though Lian Jing was already a cripple.
If it weren't for Lian Jing, he would never have ended up in this situation today; it's all Lian Jing's fault.
Lian Jing's expression remained unchanged as his Xuan Ying self-destructed. The destructive energy continuously wrecked the formations within the Shuiyun Palace. The Supreme Elder roared and intervened to stop the remaining energy. However, even so, many elders still vomited blood and fainted.
