"Drink!" Guan Xin shouted, his body suddenly leaping up like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, his speed astonishing.
The saber seemed to come alive in his hands, slicing through the air with an indomitable spirit, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and heading straight for Nangong Yanyu's vitals.
Nangong Yanyu dared not be careless. With a flick of her wrist, her sword energy met the sharpness of the Zhanmadao sword like flowing water.
The two weapons clashed, producing a deafening roar. The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by the impact, forming visible ripples.
Sword light and blade aura intertwined, sparks flew, and each collision created ripples in space.
Guan Xin's strength flowed through his blade, each move expansive and powerful, unmatched in its might.
Under his control, the horse-slaying saber sometimes moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable; at other times, it moved like a tiger descending the mountain, exuding unparalleled domineering power.
The Xiaoxiang Sword emitted pale blue ripples, and this seemingly effortless Daoist charm completely neutralized Guan Xin's attacks!
In fact, Nangong Yanyu, at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm, was fighting Guan Xin, at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm...
The advantages are enormous!
If it weren't for being held back by the nine Qionghuang Army Formations...
Nangong Yanyu could kill Guan Xin within fifty moves.
However, the nine Qionghuang Army Formations acted as a counterbalance, putting Nangong Yanyu at a disadvantage.
He could only maintain his undefeated record by relying on the defensive tactics of the Xiaoxiang Sword.
But prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, and if this continues...
It was only a matter of time before Nangong Yanyu was defeated.
A resolute look flashed in Xiao Ruoli's eyes!
She attempted to communicate with another soul deep within her consciousness...
"Didn't you want to take my body...? Help me slay the enemy! I'll give you this body..."
"Do you know that once I take over this body... your soul will fall into silence!"
A strange sound came from inside!
This is the sound that rang out in the Rainbow Tower when Xiao Ruoli was using the alias Nalan Youruo.
"And once silence falls... it may very well be utter and eternal silence!"
"I have been in sync with you for many years and I have a good impression of you... Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm and step into the Upper Realm... you may be able to help me find my former body."
"You are no match for them right now... but as long as you try your best to escape, they may not be able to stop you."
Xiao Ruoli smiled sadly, "If we try our best to escape, what will happen to Uncle Nangong? What about those old subordinates who are still loyal to the Canglong Dynasty?"
"Am I to abandon them and flee for my life alone?! My Xiao family has no one like that. Today I hand over control of my body to you, only asking that you help me wipe out the enemy!"
"...Since you insist on this...then so be it..."
The next moment, Xiao Ruoli's pupils turned deep blue.
Her momentum began to rise steadily!
The eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm...the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm...the pinnacle of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm! ! !
Xiao Ruoli's aura surged directly to the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and not only that...
The oppressive aura emanating from her continued to intensify, seemingly about to break through the Heavenly Dao's seal!
This scene horrified Murong Ran!
"How is this possible? In my calculations... even if Xiao Ruoli possesses the Azure Dragon Purple Qi, the bloodline of the Xiao family, and unparalleled talent in cultivation... she is still only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"
"In the more than a thousand moves of the exchange just now, Xiao Ruoli has almost pushed the Azure Dragon Purple Qi to its limit."
"She had clearly given it her all, and was on the verge of utter defeat... so why was she still able to unleash such overwhelming power?!"
Xiao Ruoli felt her consciousness gradually fading away...
"Help me...slay them!"
"...Okay, I promise you..."
Xiao Ruoli raised her hand, and a deep blue halberd appeared in her hand!
She took a step forward and appeared atop a massive formation of a thousand Qionghuang Army soldiers.
Without any unnecessary movements, Xiao Ruoli's halberd slashed down at the great formation...
With a loud "boom," the military formation, which possessed Nascent Soul level combat power, shattered.
The entire Qionghuang Army within the battle formation was reduced to a bloody mist.
With a single strike breaking through the formation, Xiao Ruoli did not stop.
She swung her halberd again, and the military formation not far away exploded with a roar!
At the same time, the offensive power of the other several thousand-person formations converged.
This offensive force, imbued with the boundless killing intent of the Qionghuang Army, hurtled towards Xiao Ruoli.
Nangong Yanyu's expression changed drastically. "Your Highness, be careful!"
He activated the Xiaoxiang technique, creating a layer of water-based shield in front of the army's killing moves.
Almost instantly, the shield shattered...
With the attacking force right before her eyes, Xiao Ruoli remained expressionless. She swung her deep blue battle halberd, completely dispelling the attacking force.
A massive, thunderous sword descended from the sky, slashing down towards Xiao Ruoli.
The deep blue halberd slashed horizontally at the saber...
"Clang!" A dull sound rang out.
Guan Xin's horse-slaying sword shattered!
The deep blue halberd, radiating intense killing intent, swung towards Guan Xin.
A sword, its surface gleaming like clear autumn water, blocked the halberd...
That is Murong Ran's purity.
After a brief moment of surprise, Murong Ran quickly regained her composure.
"Such formidable power could never be the combat strength that Xiao Ruoli could unleash."
"She has other secrets..."
In a short span of time, Murong Ran and Xiao Ruoli had already exchanged blows over a thousand times.
In the exchange of thousands of moves, Murong Ran saw Xiao Ruoli's eyes.
