The azure river first condensed, then erupted with a roar, transforming into billions of water droplets that shot out in all directions, creating a spectacular scene.
Although these seemingly extraordinary water droplets were also cut apart by the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, they did not perish. Instead, they shattered into even finer water droplets.
The droplets connected with each other, emitting blue light and forming patches that resembled small marshes.
The Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, upon entering them, found its movement slowed by several minutes.
But immediately, the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk's surface flashed with Five-Colored Spiritual Light, directly shattering these tiny blue marshes. However, there were simply too many of these strange water droplets, making them impossible to eliminate for the moment.
Beside Ning Fa, Ji Lianxing immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoist Ning, be careful! This is Shen Xinlan's Houtian Supreme Yuan Water Emperor Dharma Body. With the enhancement of her River Diagram and Luo Book, its power is no less than some powerful Xiantian Battle Bodies."
At this moment, brilliant Five-Colored Lightning erupted around Ning Fa, his eyes blazing with divine light, and his powerful Spiritual Pressure reaching a terrifying level. Clearly, his entire magical power had been stimulated to its limit.
He heard her words, and his gaze flickered. The Divine Ability this woman displayed was indeed very strange, and it was precisely targeted at his Essence Annihilation Sword Silk.
But then he sneered. His Calamity Heaven Sword Array was not limited to this power.
As he formed a Hand Seal, the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk reappeared, releasing layers of sword energy. They connected with each other, forming layers of sword curtains.
The sword curtains flashed with Five-Colored Lightning on their surface. Wherever they passed, those strange azure water droplets were directly annihilated, without further splitting.
In just a few breaths, these billions of azure water droplets vanished.
The Water Emperor Dharma Body, transformed from Shen Xinlan, had eyes like a vortex that suddenly narrowed. Shock was clearly visible on her face.
But she raised her scepter in her right hand again, and swung it forcefully.
A monstrous wave surged, instantly transforming into seven enormous blue water dragons, dozens of feet long, lunging forward with bared fangs and claws.
At the same time, with a flash of black light, she waved her left hand, and a black ring covered in Black Demonic Markings appeared in the air.
As she pointed the scepter forward, a beam of blue light shot towards it.
Instantly, the black ring began to spin rapidly, unleashing surging Black Demonic Light. Within the black light, a monstrously fierce-looking creature could be seen faintly.
At the same time, Pei Nanshu finally finished casting his spell. The Cold Stars, formed by seven short blades above him, had completely taken shape.
As Pei Nanshu spat out a mouthful of vital blood, patches of Starlight erupted from these seven Cold Stars.
They connected to form a wave that surged forward with unstoppable force, and were also intercepted by the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk in front.
At this moment, most of the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk in this Calamity Heaven Sword Array was used to intercept the other individuals. The Essence Annihilation Sword Silk encountered by this wave of starlight was noticeably sparser, and it struggled a bit.
Ji Lianxing, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Ning Fa could suppress three Great Cultivators all by himself.
And these three Great Cultivators all seemed to have unleashed their full power and were fighting desperately.
This made her even more in awe of Ning Fa.
She found it hard to imagine how Ning Fa, who was once at the same level as her, could possess such heaven-defying strength in such a short period.
Blue Lightning and Little Ice were eager to join the fray, but without Ning Fa's command, they did not act rashly.
Baili Ming was also somewhat stunned. At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of Ning Fa's potential.
He took a deep look at Ning Fa and said, "Kid, although your sword array Divine Ability is powerful, you don't seem to have mastered it for long, and you're still struggling a bit. Do you really not need this old man's help?"
Ning Fa, whose body was radiating intense lightning, had his eyes flicker.
Although these three individuals had formidable techniques, especially Huangfu Hong and Shen Xinlan, he was confident that he still had trump cards he hadn't used and wanted to test if his Five Elements Calamity Heaven Sword Array could kill all three of them.
However, now was not the time to test his own Divine Abilities.
The crucial point was not to let these three escape.
Especially now that they were in the Tianli territory, it was difficult to hide from the Tianli people.
If they delayed too long and high-level cultivators from Tianli arrived, it would be troublesome.
With this thought, he immediately said, "Alright, Fellow Daoist Baili, please make your move."
At the same time, he sent mental commands to Hei Yu, Blue Lightning, and Little Ice beside him.
"Heh heh, Little Ice, I've been waiting for this for a long time."
Little Ice's white spear suddenly vibrated, unleashing sharp white wind blades. At the same time, the spear's surface shimmered with a layer of icy white Cold Flame, further enhancing its power.
Suddenly, the spear shot out, piercing towards Pei Nanshu, who was the weakest.
The twin blades held by Blue Lightning also erupted with extreme azure flames. As Blue Lightning threw them, the two blades traced profound trajectories, intertwining with each other, and also attacking Pei Nanshu.
Hei Yu's entire body radiated golden light, and the triangular pattern on his forehead spun rapidly, quickly locking onto the image of a crossbow.
Simultaneously, Hei Yu's right arm also shone with golden light, suddenly transforming into the appearance of a crossbow. A light arrow quickly took shape on the crossbow.
As Hei Yu forcefully pulled with his left hand, the light arrow, about a bowl's width in diameter and ten feet long, shot towards the Water Emperor Dharma Body transformed from Shen Xinlan.
Baili Ming chuckled, and a black light flashed around him, instantly transforming into an incredibly thin black thread. With a mere flicker, he disappeared from his original position, his presence completely undetectable.
Ji Lianxing also summoned a willow-leaf blade. Under the fierce surge of magical power, the blade shimmered with a layer of black demonic light. With a single flash, it transformed into myriad blade shadows, flickering indistinctly as it attacked Shen Xinlan.
Although Shen Xinlan was Ji Lianxing's master, ever since Ji Lianxing learned the truth about Shen Xinlan taking her as a disciple, her hatred for Shen Xinlan surpassed even that for Mo Qianqiu.
Seeing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but smile. With this, the pressure on the Calamity Heaven Sword Array was greatly reduced.
Under his command, most of the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk turned towards Huangfu Hong and the three-headed, six-armed demonic creature.
The blood-red demonic blade, which had been aggressively charging forward, was immediately suppressed by the dense Essence Annihilation Sword Silk.
At this moment, Ning Fa's eyes flickered with cold light, and he formed a sword seal with his hand.
Immediately, a faint glow appeared on the surface of the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, as if it had gained a soul. It became incredibly agile, and its power increased by nearly half, becoming even sharper.
This was Ning Fa employing the first level of Sword Intent he had recently comprehended—Condensing Sword into Intent.
Ning Fa moved his mind again, and layers of white, green, black, red, and yellow five-colored electric arcs were superimposed on the surface of the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, greatly increasing its power.
Under the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk in its current strongest form, the bloody blade qi storm formed by the blood-red demonic blade finally collapsed, revealing the demonic blade's true form.
Despite its demonic light flashing wildly, under the cutting of the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, fine cracks began to appear on its surface. It let out a mournful cry and retreated as if it had sentience.
Huangfu Hong's body trembled violently, and blood flowed from under her mask. It was clear she had just spat out a mouthful of heart blood, and her eyes held undisguised panic.
On the other side, with roars of anger, the magical treasures held by the demonic entities formed by the three Sha Puppets were also directly cut and shattered by the sharp Essence Annihilation Sword Silk.
Following that, the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk invaded their bodies. The seemingly incredibly defensive gray demonic armor could only withstand less than a few breaths before it crumbled.
As the gray demonic light flashed wildly, the demonic entities disintegrated, revealing the original forms of the three Sha Puppets.
Not long after, the muscular strong woman and the beautiful woman in the red dress, despite their frantic counterattacks.
After a few breaths, they were cut into countless pieces by the numerous Essence Annihilation Sword Silk. With the electric arcs flashing wildly, not even a wisp of ash remained.
Tianyou, with silver hair flying, flicked claw-like energy from his fingertips, still attacking as if he knew no fear.
But with a flash of golden electric light, a golden electric net suddenly enveloped him from above. Then, Tianyou was rapidly pulled by this golden electric net towards a corner.
At this moment, Pei Nanshu had reached a critical juncture.
He had been frantically summoning various defensive magic treasures to block the attacks of Blue Lightning and Little Ice.
But just then, a strange black thread silently broke through his protective spiritual light.
Baili Ming's figure appeared behind him abruptly.
He chuckled, his fingertips flashing with a chilling gleam, and he fiercely clawed towards Pei Nanshu's back.
After all, for a Heavenly Puppet, its own body was its most formidable magical treasure.
But at this moment, Pei Nanshu's body flickered strangely, and he appeared several feet ahead almost instantly.
However, a large chunk of flesh was still torn from his back, leaving him bleeding profusely.
Baili Ming looked slightly surprised, but he flicked the flesh from his hand, chuckled, and once again transformed into the strange black thread, disappearing.
At this moment, Pei Nanshu's face was filled with terror. He shouted towards Ning Fa, "Ning Fa, are you really trying to kill us all!
Don't forget, the three of us are Great Cultivators of Cangyuan. Cangyuan is already weaker than Tianli. Once we are gone, our top-tier strength will be even more disproportionate. Are you ignoring the bigger picture?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately added, "As long as you spare me, I will definitely provide compensation that satisfies you.
And in the future, wherever you are, my family and I will stay far away."
Ning Fa, enveloped in electric light, scoffed at his words, "How ridiculous. You talk about the bigger picture now? When you colluded with the people of Tianli to harm me, why didn't you consider the bigger picture?
I, Ning Fa, always repay my enemies tenfold!
Even if Daoist Xu Yuan were here today, I would still kill all of you!"
As Ning Fa's chilling, murderous words echoed.
Sensing Ning Fa's resolve, Pei Nanshu's body trembled. Then he shouted:
"Don't forget my friend Yuan Gang from the Three-Eyed Heavenly Ape clan. If you dare to kill me, Yuan Gang will surely avenge me.
Although your strength is not weak, you are still far from being able to contend with the Three-Eyed Heavenly Ape clan. Don't make a mistake!"
Ning Fa sneered. This person had indeed brought up his friend from the Three-Eyed Heavenly Ape clan to threaten him.
But to Ning Fa, if that Yuan Gang dared to provoke him, he wouldn't hold back. After all, Nascent Souls of high-level demons could provide high-level Origin Points for the Heavenly Book.
Seeing that Ning Fa was unmoved and that more and more Essence Annihilation Sword Silk were gathering towards him.
At the same time, the attacks from Blue Lightning and Little Ice became even more fierce, especially the strange black threads formed by Baili Ming, which were impossible to defend against.
Pei Nanshu was already filled with panic. He threw out over a dozen magic treasures and various other precious items from his body, but they were all annihilated by the terrifying Essence Annihilation Sword Silk.
Finally, he gritted his teeth fiercely. With a flip of his right hand, he produced a special bead that resembled an eyeball, emitting a strange aura.
"Don't force me. I'll say it again, let me out!"
Pei Nanshu said with a ferocious expression, clutching the bead.
Ning Fa stared intently at the bead, sensing a trace of threat from it.
With a thought, the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, Blue Lightning, and Little Ice that were surrounding Pei Nanshu paused their attacks.
Pei Nanshu's face lit up with joy, thinking Ning Fa had agreed.
But at that moment, Ning Fa's eyes suddenly turned a strange moon-white color, and white flames rolled within them.
Pei Nanshu immediately felt thousands of white lightning fires appear in his sea of consciousness, like burning iron stakes being driven into his brain, causing him extreme pain and slowing his reaction time.
Just as he was about to crush the bead in his hand, a black light flashed behind his head. Then, Pei Nanshu's head was sent flying.
With a flash of white light, Pei Nanshu's Nascent Soul flew out of his body. His small face was filled with panic, and with a flash, he disappeared. The next moment, he appeared ten feet away.
But when he tried to use teleportation again, sword light flashed around him, and dense sword silk appeared, surrounding his Nascent Soul.
With a shrill scream, Pei Nanshu's Nascent Soul completely turned into a cloud of bloody mist, and his aura completely dissipated.
This Great Cultivator, who had been famous for a long time, had thus perished.
