Chapter 89 A Sword's Frost Chills Across Fourteen Provinces 22
"Not good, retreat."
Li Ye saw the dark, heavy clouds in the distance, with lightning surging within them, a sight that filled him with dread.
He realized that the Giant Sword Sect had known all along that Miao Qiqi was a traitor. They were just using a scheme to eliminate the demon race during the Tribulation of the Breaking Mountain Sword Venerable's Ascension to Immortality.
Li Ye has weathered countless storms, surviving the great war a thousand years ago, yet he capsized in this ditch. Well done, what a Juque Sword Sect!
At this moment, he wished he could slap Miao Qiqi to death. What a foolish woman, being used as a pawn without even realizing it.
However, it was too late to retreat. The Tribulation Transcending stage expert arrived with thunder and lightning. The demons were in chaos. Since the Demon Lord was personally leading the army to attack the Giant Sword Sect, almost all the demons that could come had come. They were packed together in a dense crowd, and there was nowhere to run.
A thunderous roar resounded in the hearts of the demons.
"You lowly villains, do you think our Juque Sect has no one to rely on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, bolts of lightning as thick as buckets crackled and fell, leaving the surrounding monsters charred and lifeless.
The other demons panicked even more. They were just a motley crew, and they had only followed Li Ye to attack Juque in order to gain some benefits. None of them wanted to lose their lives.
Now they're rushing around like headless flies, trying to break through and leave a sliver of hope.
But having just broken the sect's protective formation, they were now like turtles in a jar, with nowhere to run, and were all tragically killed by the heavenly lightning.
Li Ye's eyes were bloodshot. Although these were just a rabble, they were the forces he had been planning for so long. With these cannon fodder, there would be someone to fight for him under his throne. He never expected that his campaign would be so unsuccessful and his ambition would suffer a devastating blow.
He moved with incredible speed, rushing into the carriage in an instant. His ten fingers, like sharp claws, grabbed Miao Qiqi by the throat, holding her hostage in front of him. Then he walked step by step to the demons.
The disciples of the Giant Sword Sect were surprised to see him holding Miao Qiqi hostage. They really didn't know that Miao Qiqi had been captured by him. When Miao Qiqi returned to the sect, she changed her behavior from being high-profile to being very low-key. Many of her former friends didn't even know that she had returned.
At that time, she had a guilty conscience and was afraid of revealing her secret to others. She also wanted to make it easier to bring back the core of the array to Li Ye later and accompany him into the sect to "heal his wounds".
At this moment, Miao Qiqi was still confused. She couldn't understand why Li Ye, who had just been so affectionate towards her, was now using her as a hostage. Wasn't he the one who loved her the most?
Miao Qiqi shouted, "Li Ye, what are you doing? You hurt me. My neck is bleeding. Let me go, it hurts so much!"
"Shut up, or I'll kill you."
Miao Qiqi sensed Li Ye's genuine killing intent and froze, afraid to move. This man, no, this demon, truly wanted to kill her.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, but there was no one left to wipe them away for her. Only then did Miao Qiqi realize what she had lost.
When Lei Yun Dao Ren saw Miao Qi Qi appear, his pupils contracted sharply, and the veins on his hand holding the long sword bulged, but he did not say anything. Wen Bai Yun and the others also just watched Li Ye in silence, their expressions calm.
They had given Miao Qiqi a chance long ago, but she betrayed Juque first.
Li Ye, now somewhat regaining his Demon Lord demeanor, said in a chilling voice, "Miao Qiqi, you all know her, right? She loves me to death. Let me and my demon generals go, and I'll return Miao Qiqi to you intact."
Luo Shu said in a calm voice, "Demon Lord, are you getting old and your eyesight is failing? My Juque sect no longer has a disciple named Miao Qiqi. Five years ago, when she went down the mountain, the soul lamp in my sect went out, and my niece Miao Qiqi unfortunately perished. Now, you think you can return safely by finding a fake one? Demon Lord, when did you become so naive?"
Li Ye's expression suddenly darkened. He leaned close to Miao Qiqi's ear and said, "Speak, let them know that you are Miao Qiqi."
Miao Qiqi's face was frosty, and she said through gritted teeth, "Loosen your grip a little, or I won't be able to speak."
Li Ye stepped back slightly, and Miao Qiqi took a deep look at her master and fellow disciples of the Juque Sword Sect. Tears streamed down her face. She circulated her spiritual power and shouted, "I am not Miao Qiqi. I am just a substitute that Li Ye found to threaten you. Slaying demons and eliminating evil is of utmost urgency. Everyone, do not worry about me. You must make sure that this demon is killed by your sword."
Then her neck collided with Li Ye's sharp claws, blood gushed out, and her soul perished. Miao Qiqi, dead.
Li Ye's pupils constricted. Miao Qiqi's aura was very strong. Although it was slowly weakening, it was still stronger than that of an ordinary person. Yet she died just like that.
At this moment, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation of the Broken Mountain Sword Venerable has arrived. Dark clouds cover the sky and the city is about to be destroyed. In this storm of lightning and thunder, both humans and demons appear so insignificant. Because it is a human cultivator undergoing tribulation, the lightning will first eliminate unfavorable factors, and at this moment, the demons will be the first to bear the brunt.
The two demon generals under Li Ye's command were struck by heavenly lightning and were on the verge of death. The situation became increasingly urgent. At this moment, Li Ye made up his mind and bit his tongue until it bled.
Alright, since you, Sword Master Po Yue, intend to slaughter me today, then I will risk my life to destroy your Ascension Tribulation.
He channeled his magic, his body expanding and growing larger, continuously absorbing and devouring the corpses of the dead demons. At this moment, Li Ye no longer had a human form; his body resembled a balloon about to burst, standing in opposition to the Sword Master of Breaking the Mountain.
At this moment, the Ascension Tribulation of the Sword Master Poyue was coming to an end, and the steps leading to him were faintly visible in the sky. It was at this moment that Li Ye self-destructed.
The self-destruction of a demon lord nearing the Tribulation Transcending stage was incredibly powerful. Even with the Juque Sword Sect activating its protective array, the aftershocks still shook the ground and caused the stone pillars of the mountain gate to tremble.
The demons over there were left with corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood due to their own demon lord's self-destruction. Those who were lucky enough to survive were missing limbs and looked extremely miserable.
What about Sword Master Po Yue? Could it be that he really failed to ascend to immortality because of the Demon Lord's self-destruction?
Everyone looked up at the Ascension Steps. The Great Sword Master had already ascended them. In front of him knelt a person covered in blood, supporting himself with his long sword and panting heavily.
It's Luo Shu.
As the Demon Lord self-destructed, she also detonated the true meaning of the Great Dao. With the two sides colliding, the Sword Venerable of Breaking the Mountain was able to climb the Ascension Ladder without any distractions.
Luo Shu protected the Sword Master of Breaking the Mountain, and for the first time in a thousand years, another great power has ascended to immortality on the Qian Yuan Continent.
At this moment, the Sword Master of Breaking Mountains stood on the last step of the Ascension Ladder and smiled slightly, "I will be waiting for you here."
postscript:
In the 502nd year of the Qian Yuan Continent, Demon Lord Li Ye led his army to attack the Ju Que Sword Sect. However, he encountered the ascension tribulation of Po Yue Sword Master, and the demons were defeated. Li Ye self-destructed, and Po Yue Sword Master's disciple, Frost Sword Lord, self-destructed his sword intent, which was the true meaning of the Great Dao. They were shocked to find that he was a Dao Lord, and protected his master as he ascended to immortality. A hundred years later, Dao Lord ascended and completed the Heavenly Dao. Since then, more and more people in Qian Yuan have ascended. In gratitude to Dao Lord, Ju Que has continued for more than a thousand years.
