with a dragon-slaying spear, its point aimed straight at Zhang Ruochin. His holy energy surged, distorting space into waves that crashed towards Zhang Ruochin's chest.Zhang Ruochin summoned the Eight...Although the Frost City Demon was merely a casual flick of his finger, even the top gods on Mount Tai Bai could not underestimate the power of his breath.

Bang!

As soon as the Qingping Sword clashed with the Zhijian, Zhang Ruochen felt a tremendous force like that of Mount Shen striking him. The truth rules around him were completely scattered, and his figure flew out for thousands of miles like a cannonball, barely stabilizing at the edge of the Jieyun.

But, the Frost City Demon's finger held great meaning. It contained powerful sword soul and could directly cleave Zhang Ruochin's divine soul.

A searing pain ripped through Zhang Ruochin's soul. If it weren't for the Buddha relic protecting him, he suspected his soul would have shattered.While a shattered soul wouldn't necessarily be fatal—a powerful god could simply reconstruct it—the wounds inflicted were far from easily healed.

On the other side, Frost City Demon with one sword sent Xuan Yuan Qing flying, slashing her all over with blood, almost splitting her into pieces.

The Frost City demon right now is truly ferocious and menacing, even the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, Xuan Yuan Qing, who is as beautiful as a fairy, must do her best to suppress it.

The Frost City Demon sensed something, and cast a glance at Zhang Ruochin standing on the edge of the calamity cloud. Seeing this Taoist priest, he was only pale in the face and hadn't suffered serious injuries. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.

This Qingpingzi is truly peculiar.

Just entering the Taiyi Realm, his strength is simply monstrous.

After a brief hesitation, the Frost City Demon chose to capture Xuanyuan Qing first instead of killing Feng Yan and capturing Xuanyuan Qing.

Even if those five colored clay figurines survive the divine tribulation, they may not necessarily be able to awaken the sword spirit of the Pure Yang Divine Sword. Moreover, some rumors about the Pure Yang Divine Sword's sword spirit may not even be true.

But Xuanyuan Lian had arrived, and capturing Xuanyuan Qing was now urgent.

Otherwise, what could the Dark Temple possibly offer to oppose Xuanyuan Lian if Yue Shen perished in Fengyun Ba's final counterattack

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Having been poisoned by the Huangquan Flower, Xuan Yuan Qing was completely powerless against the full-fledged assault of a powerful figure like Frost City Demon.

Zhang Ruochin thought several times about making a move to rescue him, but he held back. He didn't believe that Xuan Yuan Qing, as the daughter of the Heavenly Venerable, wouldn't have a few treasures on her person. It was clearly her ploy to force Zhang Ruochin to use his trump card and expose his identity proactively.

After all, she exposed Zhang Ruochin's identity, which would offend him and lead to retaliation.

Zhang Ruochin took the initiative to expose her identity, so it's not surprising that she did.

>>>

Even "for the sake of all beings" or "for the unity of heaven," are mostly just ideas instilled from a young age.

Since she has never been human, how could she possibly understand the common people

She had never known the searing pain of hatred, how could she know that it was so difficult to resolve

Perhaps Zhang Ruochin's talent and potential caught his eye, perhaps he wanted to win over Xing Huantian, or maybe he wanted to use him to resolve the blood feud between the Kunlun Realm and the Heavenly Realm.

In short, she oversimplified everything, believing that with the power of the Heavenly Venerable, she could clear all obstacles for Zhang Ruochin in Heaven.

But behind Zhang Ruochin, a huge dark web had long been woven, involving interests and powerful figures far exceeding her estimation. The number of lives at stake had reached a point where it wasn't as simple as Zhang Ruochin saying she wanted to withdraw or choose a side.

While the power of Heaven's Venerable is indeed formidable, how could Zhang Ruochin's strength be weak
