This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1698 - 47: Lu Qingshan, White-Haired as Snow (2)
The Demon Suppressing Sword was covered in symbols intertwining, with element force surging.
Lu Qingshan stared at the powerful demonic qi tide and slashed forward with a sword.
Boom!
Chi Venerable's eyes were profoundly terrifying, and at this moment, he not only used his Divine Demon Body and his utmost power but also his bloodline talent to interfere with Lu Qingshan's sword.
Under this interference, Lu Qingshan's sword, which should have been vast in power, became chaotic and unstable.
"Such a close connection!"
But it was only limited to this; the next moment, Chi Venerable realized that even though his cultivation was higher than Lu Qingshan's by a major realm, he still couldn't completely interfere with Lu Qingshan's sword.
Because the connection between the Demon Suppressing and Lu Qingshan was too intimate, like one entity, not something his Bloodline Divine Ability could shake.
However, for Chi Venerable, this little interference was enough.
His Red Halberd carried supreme divine might, crushing towards Lu Qingshan.
Clang!
At the critical juncture, a brilliant radiance shot out horizontally, blocking the Red Halberd.
Bam!
The Red Halberd shifted sideways, allowing Lu Qingshan to escape safely.
"Hmm?" Chi Venerable frowned subconsciously.
Because this suddenly erupted brilliant radiance prevented him from annihilating Lu Qingshan with that strike.
At this moment, light flickered, and Xia Daoyun's figure appeared.
At the critical moment, she freed herself from the encirclement of Ming Venerable and War Venerable, assisting Lu Qingshan in blocking Chi Venerable's fierce attack.
Chi Venerable's eyes glimmered, looking at Xia Daoyun with a touch of red at the corner of her mouth, coldly saying, "There's no need to rush to your death; both of you will fall here today, it's just a matter of time."
"But you should be careful too, better not let me drag you down," Xia Daoyun replied straightforwardly.
This was her determination, also her confidence.
However, she still felt regretful inside; if she truly falls here today, she won't be able to witness Lu Qingshan's future.
That day will be incredibly glorious, but time waits for no one.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Chi Venerable wasn't intimidated by Xia Daoyun's words.
The Red Halberd in his hand rumbled, emitting rolling demonic qi, wanting to tear Heaven and Earth.
Chi Venerable directly switched targets, striking at Xia Daoyun to completely annihilate her.
He was ferociously overwhelming, possessing an unstoppable stance.
War Venerable and Ming Venerable, who had just been shaken off by Xia Daoyun, also followed closely, making every effort to slay Xia Daoyun.
Bam!
One after another, sword qi disintegrated, and sword light dispersed, chaos reigned here.
Demonic qi churned the sky dome, causing heaven to collapse and earth to shatter.
Xia Daoyun charged, resisted, and fought desperately, but human power is always finite, let alone she had endured a prolonged assault in the Canghai World earlier, consuming greatly.
In this state, just entering the Sword Immortal Realm, she was collectively suppressed by Chi Venerable, Ming Venerable, and War Venerable. Even with exceptional talent, she felt powerless to reverse the situation, unable to resist.
Xia Daoyun was suppressed, her injuries accumulating.
.....
The demonic qi was overwhelmingly intense, even obscuring the bright moon in the sky.
In the area of tens of thousands of miles radius, the endless demonic qi made living beings extinct.
The next moment, a demonic qi tornado roared in.
Xia Daoyun's cold face was shrouded in frost, wielding her sword, chopping down fiercely.
A sword slashed down, initially not revealing any power, as if strength was absent, yet such a bland slash forcibly shattered the demonic qi tornado.
"It's not over yet!" War Venerable sneered wickedly, his malevolent eyes gleaming.
The shattered demonic qi surged abruptly, regrouping into a mass of demon flame.
The flame was multicolored, possessing terrifying heat, causing the air to sizzle and crack.
The demon flame transformed, instantly morphing into a ghostly face, howling outward, shooting toward Xia Daoyun.
Xia Daoyun had no time to change her move, but with a blink, sword light burst from her eyes, slashing at the ghostly face formed by the demonic flame.
The ghostly face seemed alive, emitting mournful screams, but amidst the swaying demonic flame, the sword light was engulfed, rising with a poof, enveloping Xia Daoyun's tall figure.
The demon flame surged, aiming to consume Xia Daoyun.
But just a moment later, the demon flame exploded open.
Xia Daoyun's figure reappeared, with fine sweat emerging on her glossy face, a faint sliver shadowed across, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her lips.
"How long can you endure?" War Venerable smiled faintly.
Xia Daoyun saw the situation and sighed softly in her heart. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
At this moment, Lu Qingshan received a divine sense message from Xia Daoyun.
"I'll try my best to eliminate one of them, take this opportunity to escape."
"They won't let you go either, but with your abilities, I believe you have a chance to return to Yumen Pass."
"Sword Sect needs you, Yumen Pass needs you… the Human Race also needs you." She didn't attempt to persuade Lu Qingshan, but she believed Lu Qingshan understood the significance of the situation.
As the message ended, Xia Daoyun slightly closed her eyes.
Chi Venerable had once been puzzled why she, who had just entered the Sword Immortal Realm, possessed combat power completely unmatched by her cultivation.
Actually, the reason was quite simple.
Since ascending to the Sword Immortal Realm, Xia Daoyun could feel a powerful force lurking within her body.
It was the power from her bloodline.
The bloodline of the Ancestral Taoist.
And now, she prepared to sacrifice her bloodline power to summon the strongest force from within her bloodline, to fight to the death with the Three Venerables, and earn Lu Qingshan the chance to leave.
However, just as she was about to unleash the power within her bloodline, a familiar voice sounded beside her.
A strong and broad hand pulled her to the back, forcing her out of that state.
"This time, let me say those words."
What words?
Xia Daoyun's tranquil heart was suddenly stirred.
Lu Qingshan stepped forward, blocking in front of Xia Daoyun.
Blocking in front of the Sword Immortal Realm Xia Daoyun.
"With me, Lu Qingshan here, no one can harm her."
He said calmly.
.....
The familiar lines seemed to echo in her ears, but now the roles were reversed.
Endless demonic Qi surged, even the Sky Dome seemed to crack, yet that slender figure stood quietly in front of Xia Daoyun.
No matter how overwhelming the demonic Qi waves were, they could not sweep over.
When Lu Qingshan, with a slightly hoarse voice, uttered those words as if proclaiming a declaration, he turned around to look at the blood-stained robe of Xia Daoyun, the crimson corners of her mouth, and even in dire situations, her brows and eyes still bore the familiar cold expression.
Xia Daoyun's coolness was not indifference but a naturally regal demeanor, perhaps due to her background, perhaps because of her bloodline, or possibly her nature.
Yet at this moment, Xia Daoyun's eyes, which had barely fluctuated even in the face of life and death, were uncharacteristically disturbed.
— The man standing before her wasn't stirring her heart for the first time.
Whether due to insecurity or something else, meeting Lu Qingshan's gaze this time made Xia Daoyun instinctively shift her sight, as if unable to bear looking directly at him.
"What makes you think….."
The Three Venerables stared at Lu Qingshan, finding it somewhat amusing, but before War Venerable could finish his mocking remark, Lu Qingshan interrupted directly.
"With this."
He looked handsome, took a deep breath, lifted his head, and gazed at the sky.
"Don't you want to kill me?"
"Then come on!"
As the words fell.
The dense demonic Qi covering the sky immediately dissipated.
Because a more violent aura rose from the sky, changing the wind and clouds, dominating everything, allowing no other presence.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Under the night moon, bolts of lightning appeared, intertwining on Gao Tian, constantly rolling.
The Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
"Please face the tribulation…" Lu Qingshan said softly.
Due to unhealed injuries, he didn't have confidence and had not chosen to face the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation until now.
The tribulation clouds, immense and endless, lawless and boundless.
They instantly locked onto Lu Qingshan.
Compared to the massive tribulation cloud and terrifying thunder, Lu Qingshan's slender form seemed even frailer, swaying and unsteady.
Xia Daoyun slightly raised her gaze, seeing the thunder all over the sky, the upright figure like a pine, like a mountain, the sect master robe adorned with black and gold dragon patterns, and the strands of hair scattered loosely in the wind.
Against the primarily black tone of the sect master robe, those hair strands were as white as snow.
Lu Qingshan, white-haired like snow.
