A sharp explosion sounded in the air, and a chilling killing intent stirred up a gust of icy killing intent.
Su Ming, who was caressing the jade pendant, turned pale, his hair standing on end.
How could this be? Weren't they all killed?
However, Su Ming had no time to think further. The power of immortality covered his entire body, and his body flickered.
The sword light swiftly cut into Su Ming's arm, and blood splattered out.
Su Ming's body instantly fell to the ground, extremely weak. Golden light continuously flowed from the wound, restoring his body.
Using the power of the Saint's Origin had greatly depleted Su Ming's power of immortality.
The power of immortality, which had originally possessed extreme recovery capabilities, was now somewhat lacking in strength.
Jiang Li, not far away, narrowed his eyes. Did this Su Ming truly have no more tricks up his sleeve?
That golden light should be the power of the Immortal Divine Body.
He wondered if Su Ming could still unleash the power of a Saint.
If that was the case, then he might as well kill him from a distance... Jiang Li's lips curved upwards.
"Great Desolation Heaven-Severing Finger, three fingers seize creation!"
Jiang Li then unleashed the third finger of his Saint-tier divine ability, the Great Desolation Heaven-Severing Finger.
Furious spiritual energy and the qi of heaven and earth converged at Jiang Li's fingertips, and world-destroying power was about to erupt towards Su Ming.
Su Ming, not far away, felt his consciousness blur. The power of immortality within his body could not keep up with his blood loss.
"Am I going to die? What a pity, I still couldn't reach the peak!" Su Ming murmured. He felt the boundless and ferocious aura from afar but had no strength left to dodge.
A moment later, a colossal finger phantom imbued with ferocious power shot from not far away and smashed towards Su Ming.
The surrounding buildings began to shatter and annihilate.
Sharp explosive sounds continuously echoed in the air.
Su Ming slowly closed his eyes, preparing to meet his death.
"Swish!!!"
Just as the finger phantom was about to blast Su Ming into pieces.
The jade pendant in Su Ming's hand lit up with a golden barrier. The golden barrier actually absorbed Jiang Li's Great Desolation Heaven-Severing Finger entirely.
Brilliant light flashed in front of Su Ming.
Jiang Li, not far away, his face sank. Damn it, it can still block...
The golden barrier continuously absorbed Jiang Li's Great Desolation Heaven-Severing Finger, and a faint human figure condensed before the barrier.
...
High above Yunluo City.
A middle-aged man in a long robe, with golden light flashing in his eyes, gazed at Jiang Li and Su Ming below.
"As expected, it has appeared. That's good, whether one of these two perishes, it's a loss for my Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!" The middle-aged man sighed heavily as he watched the scene below.
"Yuan Xiao, who do you think will revitalize our Yellow Springs Demonic Sect between them!" Beside the middle-aged man stood a beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman wore a white long skirt, her figure graceful, and her eyes were full of charm.
Li Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes and said with a bitter smile, "I'm still more optimistic about Su Ming. The ancient Saint Body has too much uncertainty. Although Jiang Li has a significant advantage now, for him to truly grow, we'd have to sell the entire Yellow Springs Demonic Sect to support him!"
The beautiful woman shot Li Yuan Xiao a glance and said with a smile, "It's not that there aren't enough resources. If we open the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault, it will be enough for Jiang Li to develop significantly!"
The beautiful woman's voice was clear and melodious, extremely pleasant to the ears.
Li Yuan Xiao curled his lips and said slowly, "Heh heh, the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault, do you really think it's that easy to obtain? You know as well as I do how many people are eyeing our Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!"
"In any case, I'm more optimistic about Su Ming!" Li Yuan Xiao added.
The beautiful woman's expression sank, and she coldly snorted, "Li Yuan Xiao, I think you're still thinking about Su Ming's bitch of a mother, always speaking up for Su Ming!"
Li Yuan Xiao's expression flickered, and he quickly embraced the beautiful woman, uttering a few pleasantries.
Under Li Yuan Xiao's sweet talk, the beautiful woman's expression improved considerably.
"I don't care, I'm optimistic about Jiang Li anyway. If Jiang Li is really going to kill Su Ming, you're not allowed to interfere!" the beautiful woman continued coldly.
Li Yuan Xiao nodded, but inwardly he was dismissive. If Jiang Li couldn't even kill Su Ming with such a heaven-defying divine ability, then with that woman about to appear, Jiang Li would likely not have the capability.
...
In the ruins of Yunluo City.
In front of the golden barrier before Su Ming's eyes, a phantom suddenly condensed.
A cold and exceptionally beautiful middle-aged woman slowly appeared before Su Ming.
The cold and beautiful woman wore a flowing long dress and exuded an aura of arrogant and desolate coldness.
Su Ming's eyes were somewhat dazed. Who was this? She felt strangely familiar.
"Ming'er, don't worry. With Mother here today, no one can kill you!" The cold and beautiful woman looked at Su Ming with a loving gaze.
"Mother?" A hint of confusion appeared in Su Ming's despairing eyes.
Is this my mother?
"Come out, I see you, lurking!" The cold and beautiful woman said coldly.
Jiang Li, not far away, his face sank. He then emerged from the ruins, his gaze icy as he looked at Su Ming.
"It's you!!!!" Su Ming's face turned pale, and his pupils filled with hatred.
It was Jiang Li! If only I had known, I should have killed him from the start.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"
After Jiang Li appeared, he said nothing. His sword pellets transformed into numerous sword lights and shot directly towards the cold and beautiful woman and Su Ming.
Simultaneously, the Demonic Spirit Cold Vortex Flame surged out from within his body.
"I am a Saintess of the Chaos Holy Land. Dare to attack my Yuan Ling clone, are you seeking death?" the cold and beautiful woman said coldly, her body erupting with golden light to resist Jiang Li's onslaught.
"What nonsense Holy Maiden, just a clone, I'll annihilate you all today!" Jiang Li said coldly.
It seems this is Su Ming's cheap mother...
If it were her true body, I might have to flee. Just a Yuan Ling clone, and you think you can protect Su Ming? Dream on...
The exotic fire and sword lights, carrying unparalleled might, bombarded Su Ming and the cold and beautiful woman.
Fierce collision sounds rang out, and Su Ming, within the protective shield, felt a powerful impact.
Jiang Li's strength surpassed his imagination. He had thought that after breaking through to the fifth level of the Spirit River realm, the gap between them would narrow.
Unexpectedly, it had widened instead.
The cold and beautiful woman also did not expect Jiang Li to be so decisive. He dared to attack her after she revealed her identity.
Moreover, his offensive was so fierce. If he was truly determined to kill her Ming'er, her Yuan Ling clone would likely be unable to protect Ming'er in the future. The beautiful woman's expression sank slightly.
Su Ming watched his mother resist Jiang Li's onslaught, feeling the power of his mother for the first time.
The hatred in his heart for Jiang Li had reached its peak.
When I cultivate successfully, Jiang Li, you will surely die...
Su Ming thought fiercely in his heart.
